A forex trade strategy is different depending on the broker, state of the market, time you plan on investing and even the currency you are trading. Strategies are dependent on the conditions surrounding the situation. A person trading without a broker in GBP/USD will have a different strategy than a person trading with a broker in USD/JPY. A simple search on any search engine will yield thousands of forex trade strategy templates, articles and advice. There is no way to gauge which single trade strategy is better than another because the market is vast and has many variables that impact the forex trade strategy.

Therefore, it is recommended that a demo account be opened with a broker firm that offers free accounts without asking for bank and credit card information. Secondly, a good tip is to spend time reading information on currency value and national indicators from verifiable resources, like Bloomberg, Reuters or Hoover’s. Third, spend time researching the different buy/sell strategies that other brokers and traders are initiating. Find one that fits your needs and level of experience.

A good forex trade strategy will take the following into consideration:

The forex market is large and volatile. It can and does result in loss, as much as it results in gain. Do not trade money you cannot afford to lose. Understand leverage, and the risks associated with using too much or too little leverage. Know the fundamental and technical states of the currency market. Have a timeframe for trading -- hourly, daily, weekly or monthly. This helps keep you on track. Time your trade based on market hours and price moves. Ask what the market sentiment is: are other traders overselling? Under-buying? Examining these aspects does not create an entire trade strategy, but will help get you on the right track to developing a forex trade strategy that works.
