What is a valid trend line?


We can draw a trend line just connecting two points in a chart but a valid trend line must
Have three points. Remember that drawing a trend line is not science so every trader draw it different way By drawing a trend line you could easily identify our entry point, if you are a conservative player you should enter after the third touch, but in the pic:1  shows that third time price broke the trend line which made it invalid for  trade bounce.




What to look for in an online Forex Firm/broker:



·       Low spreads - In Forex Trading the ‘spread’ is the difference between the buy and sell price of any given currency pair. The lower the spread saves the trader money. Most firms offer 4-5 pip spreads in the Major Currency pairs. The best firms offer clients 3-5 pips.
·       Low minimum account opening - Those who are new to trading, and for those that don’t have thousands of dollars in risk capital to trade, being able to open a mini trading account with only $200 is a great feature for new traders.
·       Instant automatic execution of your orders - This is very important when choosing a Forex firm.
·        You want instant execution of your orders and the price you see and ‘click’ is the price that you should get. Don’t settle with a firm that re-quotes you when you click on a price or a firm that allows for price ‘slippage’. This is very important when trading for small profits.
·       Free charting and technical analysis - You need a firm that gives you access to the best charting and technical analysis available to active traders. The firm that I recommend gives clients FREE professional charting services and even allows traders to trade directly on the charts!
·       High leverage - You want high leverage - the ability to trade a large amount with a small margin deposit. Some of the best firms offer .25% or 400:1 leverage.

·       Hedging capability - You want the flexibility of opening positions on the same currency pair in opposite directions without them eliminating each other and without margin increase!
