After practicing for 7 years, i realized that buying foreign exchange for the purpose of forex trading is prohibited for resident Indians. But realized that the learning and exploring i undertook over these 7 years have given me an insight completely different from the one i had when i started. The standard tools and their set up available in the public domain is either inaccurate or inconsistent. A combination of Fibonacci retracements, Zig zag and moving averages exposed the step by step of progress of a trend along with the potential start and end of trends. No single indicator, standard or modified would work but a combination of these three indicators works perfectly in following the price trends.

Obviously, at the beginning, the awareness on price obedience was based on hind sight, but with practice, resulted in early entry and exit in to trends. The market is surrounded by popular beliefs and myths that were completely shattered when i watched the price movements through this modified set up of indicators. Currently, offering this trade set up, checklist and trading strategy as a course on technical analysis for trading.

Typically, forex trading is seen as a quick buck tool to be an instant millionaire. This approach has destroyed the reputation of people and industry. The market is bombarded with misleading information by the seconds and minutes with traders glued to screens in the hope of minting money by the second. But the market makers seem to be moving the prices on a larger time scale of years and decades, beyond our short memories and long term perseverance. My trade set up helped me to see the bigger picture of the market which was like learning the alphabets and grammar of a language.

You cannot learn forex by reading, listening or watching. Observing the market price movements through the filter of my trade set up, can speed up the learning process. It has worked in every type of financial instrument from forex, metals and stock market. More you practice, the more successful you will be. Exactly the reason why you get demo accounts to practice before going live.

Practice, Patience and Persistence will result in Profits. There is a fine line between ambition and greed. As long as you do not cross that line, you will do well for yourself and others.

Waiting for today's D1 candle to close, i have some thoughts to share about the gold price movements. To have known for more than a month about the gold price movement to 1170 and not make money on that knowledge and face the risk of losing the account is very typical in forex trading...

Since there were indications of price going down to 1.093, closed the BUY order on profit. Will have to wait and see the extent to which the price retraces down, to decide on the next action. If the eurusd price go lower than 1...

Now that the price has crossed last week's high, expect the gold price to continue going up. Strangely, the stop loss i entered, seems to have not been registered and the total loss was $300 instead of $200. The balance is at $600 and the equity is around $1400...

The level 2 set up of MAs, fibo, ZZ and chart pattern indicate the possibility of a spike between 1126 and 1101. Hence the closed the BUY order entered in the morning with a profit and entered a SELL order of 0.4 lot size to protect the profit...

Expecting the gold price to continue going up, entered another BUY order with 0.2 lot size. It's a bit risky to enter an order so early in the day with only 1 H4 candle completed and with so low margin levels...

Since i am expecting the eurusd price to go up to 1.33, i find the current low ZZ near 1.01 as potential level for a BUY order. Hence entered a BUY order with 0.02 lot size just to convey the idea of BUYing from a LOW. The eurusd price close to a low ZZ in H1, H4 and MN time frames...

Exactly the thing i was worried about, downward spike in gold price, i mentioned in my previous posts. I expect the price to retrace to 1118 before going down further or expect the current price level around 1113 to be a support for a bounce back to upward price movement...

As of now, it looks like the gold price is going to continue going up, hence closed the SELL order with profit of around $30. Even if it going to retrace down, probably it will do so only tomorrow...

Paid the price of not waiting for the candle to close. Should have waited for the H4 candle to close before deciding on the trade. The gold price doing a double top at fibo level of 50...

Since there are some indications of the eurusd price going to 1.09 before going up and the BUY order could turn negative, closed the BUY orders on a profit. If there are positive indications for a BUY from 1.09, then will enter a BUY order in eurusd. Expect the price to reach 1...

It seems that the gold price is headed towards 1091.5 or 1097.5 as mentioned in some of my previous posts. Since, i did not want to lose the profit gained so far, entered a SELL order for 0.2 lot size. Will decide about keeping the BUY order after the downward price retracement...

Expect the eurusd price to take support near Thursday's low and go back up towards 1.17. Hence, entered another BUY order with 0.01 lot size as it would not make a big difference to the margin level, even if it continues to go down. A price retracement to 1...

The eurusd price has reached close to the high of the previous month and facing strong resistance. Will this be a double top and reversal instead of continuing to go up? Today's price movement will decide that. Still believe that the price will continue to go up to 1.33...

Looks like my theory about the gold price going to 1500 is being tested. As of now, i see the price going below yesterday's low as a double bottom for reversal rather than as a start of a down trend in D1...

I believe that the eurusd is ranging to reach the key fibo price support level of 1.108 before going upward to another key fibo resistance price level of 1.117. Will wait for the current H4 candle to close and then decide on keeping the current BUY order open or to close...
