Dollar Extends Rebound as Stocks Fall for Another Day

The risk appetite/risk aversion theme is still the main drivers in the forex markets. Dollar extends yesterday's rally as US stocks open lower for another day and breaches 7800 level briefly in early trading. Investors are taking profits on concerns of poor first quarter earnings reports from banks. IMF said that banks' toxic assets could spiral up to $ 4 trillion, up from prior forecasts of $2.2 trillion. In an interview, George Soros called recent rise in the stock markets a "bear-market rally" because the economy has not turned around yet. The current rally is not sustainable.

Dollar index extends yesterday's rise to as high as 85.50 in early US session today. Intraday bias is mildly on the upside for the moment but after all, break of 86.13 resistance is still needed to confirm underlying momentum. Overall outlook remains unchanged. As long as key support of 82 level (cluster support of 61.8% retracement of 77.69 to 89.62 at 82.24 and 38.2% retracement of 70.70 to 89.62 at 82.39, as well as long term rising trend line at 82.03) holds, the long term up trend from 70.70 is still intact. Above 86.13 will affirm this case and bring rally to retest 89.62 high. Below 84.67 will turn intraday outlook neutral again and risk another fall. Also, note that sustained break of 82 will argue that whole up trend has completed and will open up the case for deeper decline to 77.78 cluster support level.

Why Do Average Forex Traders Lose Money?

According to DailyFX.com, A Premier Site For Forex Trading News, Charts, Signals, & Strategies, most forex traders lost money due to poor money management. A lot of traders just do not seem to follow a simple good money management strategy: Take your profit quickly and cut your losses short. Unfortunately, this strategy is actually harder than it sounds because of a few natural, built-in traits that all humans have. Humans are made greedy, fearful and thus, inconsistent. That is why, according to DailyFX again, most traders would probably lose all their money in one single trade right after winning a few.

Making money by trading forex is all about consistently taking profit, no matter how small it is and consistently cut your losses at losing trades. The BEST forex trading strategy is to do all that, plus consistently look for currency pairs that would give you indication of a winning trade. Has anybody done this? sure. Can just ANYBODY do this? I think not. This is why Expert Advisor is needed.

• It runs 24/7
  
• It consistently look for winning trade
  
• It consistently cut loses to minimal
  
• It has no greed, no fear and very consistent
  
• It does all of the above for all currency pairs simultaneously
  
• Most importantly, it has ingrained strategies in its mind and will stick to it no matter what
  

Again, can a human do this? yes. you would need at least 4 PC monitors and probably a few computers to cover the need of the processing power and you, sitting in front of them for hours and hours. Or, you could save yourself from a lot of trouble by using a profitable expert advisor instead.

How To Select The Best And Most Profitable Expert Advisor

There are 4 things that you would have to look for a money-making expert advisor:

1. High percentage of winning trades - means the EA would detect a lot more winning trades than losing ones. In other word, the EA that has the least drawdown percentage (losing trades).
   
2. The least loss in each trade - means the EA has strict stop-loss policy to ensure minimal losses on losing trades.
   
3. Software maker/seller that can show proven, Live forex account results that meets both requirements above on their website.
   
4. Have huge customer base - indicating satisfaction of the product usage.

Any product that meet these criteria of a Metatrader Expert Advisor should definitely be considered.

Forex Signals Advice

There are lot's of Forex signals providers out there. New Forex traders might be thinking of looking for a reliable Forex signals provider. Is there any reliable Forex signals providers available?

Personally, I will say do not pay for Forex signals. Think about it - if a Forex signals provider sells Forex signals for living, you can doubt their Forex trading skills? Or else if they are pretty good in Forex trading and making lot's of profit, I am wondering why do they still bother to sell Forex signals for money. Thus, what would be the value of such Forex signals providers? The answer is ZERO.

There are Forex traders who have been relying on Forex signals arguing those Forex signals providers really help them making money in Forex trading. These Forex traders can even show their Forex trading logs as evidence. After some though, I came out with the assumption that assuming I am the owner of a Forex signals provider, in order for my business to be in black, obviously I need some satisfying customers......
