The 2009 financial climate is leaving many people nervous about Share Trading, one only has to observe the charts and listen to reports of companies in trouble, to realise how volatile the Share market is. Yes there is still good gains in it, and with many stocks available at relative bargain prices, there is plenty of chance to make good returns.

Because of this, many investors are now switching their gaze to the Forex markets as an alternative source or income. There are many ways to trade Forex, Long term or Scalping, the list goes on, but there is one thing they all have in common, a high level of risk if you don't know what you are doing.

There are two core analysis techniques; Fundamental Analysis, basing trading decisions on news events and Technical Analysis, which involves interpreting the charts using a variety of indicators. This is how I like to trade as I am not reliant on news feeds. It doesn't matter which you choose, to minimize potential losses, you are going to have to learn Forex trading before you start committing any hard earned cash.

A good starting point is offered by Babypips.com, it’s free and you will get to know some important terms, but they do not delve into how to develop Forex trading strategies.

What is a Forex trading strategy? Simply put, it is a system for setting money management rules, analysing the progression of a chart, establishing a possible trade entry point (Setup), confirming the entry point, opening a trade, establishing an exist strategy to both minimise losses and to take profits.

A trading strategy is critical to Forex trading, without it there is no way of working out why you entered a loosing trade and how to correct it, or why the trade worked and how you could improve it.

In your early days of trading, a trading strategy provides the system for trading on a Demo account. These are offered to you by most brokers and allow you to make some test trades, without putting cash at risk. You give yourself an account balance and trade as the charts move testing your trading strategy and watch your account either grow or vanish. You'll soon discover if what you have developed works!

To get you started with a specific trading strategy for profiting from market rebounds, there is a free video course which will teach you a trade called the "Rubber Band Trade" so give it a try to get you started.

It's a very profitable trading strategy developed by a Professional Trader and shows you every step to profit from this specific trade. Once you have trialled this strategy on a Demo account and made it work consistently, you can apply it to a real account and start making some money whilst you develop and test other trading strategies that will make your Forex trading a success. 

I regularly use this trading strategy and still trade it when the charts set up correctly. A quick 20-30 pips? Why would you miss the chance?
