WHAT IS
FOREX TRADING?
Forex is the biggest currency market in the world!
This market has been opened for everyone to trade since 1994 and its
trade volume can reach up to $5 Trillion every day.
Profits can reach up to 100% in a span of one day. Due to the market’s very
fast pace, it is undeniable that Forex can also be quite risky. Anyone can
experience losses when they do not have enough knowledge to trade.

HISTORY
OF FOREX
Foreign Exchange that we know today began in 1973, but the trading of
currencies has actually existed since the first coin was introduced in
ancient Egyptian times. Afer World War II ended, the US’ economy has
been solid compared to most European countries. The US Dollar was
very popular back then and was verified as the global currency.
In 1982 the currency pair was created for the first time and offered as a
purchase option to the United States, and more currencies appeared in
1983.
By 1987, both the United Kingdom and the United States were fully
traded in foreign exchange, but there were many more countries such as
China, South Korea and Iran (in 1991) that participated.
The first online trading of the currency took place in 1994, which in turn
led to the development of the Euro currency in Europe. The rise of the
Euro threatens the dominance of the US Dollar as a global reserve
currency. The euro is currently the official currency in 19 European
countries.

The world needs more US dollars, so at the same time the value of the
dollar increases. When there are too many US dollars circulating in the
market, then the price of the currency goes down.
The forces that move the market can also reflect changes in the value
of a currency. In addition, other factors such as interest rates, new
economic data from the largest countries and geopolitical tensions can
also affect the price of a country's currency.

3. Buyers and sellers are limited 3. Buyer and sellers are unlimited
To buy and sell stocks, investors must open an account and register with Bursa
Malaysia through a brokerage company, while for Forex, they only need to
register through an online Forex broker.
There are two ways to transact money into and out of the account: -Through
'online banking'
-Through a registered stock remisier/dealer.
Therefore, Forex traders need to deposit through existing brokers and all deposit
or withdrawal maters only through online brokers.
It always involves a number of political factors, the world economy, and others.

TIME TO
TRADE FOREX
The Forex currency market runs 24/7 but can only be traded on Monday to
Friday only (5 days). This is because brokers close on Sundays including
general holidays.
In a day, not every time the market is full! There are brisk times, there are
slow times. The London and New York sessions were the most frequent. In
these two sessions, there is an overlap time.
In the middle of the week, the market is the most active. Friday is a better
time to close all positions or make a breakeven because it is the last day for
the week.

PIP : (Percentage in Points) is the value of the change in a pair. A pip is the
smallest price movement that can be made by an exchange rate based on the
Forex market. How to calculate pips:
1 PIP = 10 Points
Example:
SL 25 PIPS = 20 Points
Buy
SL = 64.869 Point
TP = 64.868 Point = 250 Point
= 65.118 Point = 65.118 Price.
Swap : Charges will be imposed by the broker if there is a position that has
not been closed or carried over to the next day. Positive or negative swaps
depend on the number of lots. Swap rates change from time to time. To avoid
swaps, you can open an Islamic account if you want (Swap Free).

BALANCE, EQUITY,
MARGIN, FREE MARGIN
& MARGIN LEVEL
Free Margin is the difference between Equity and total Margin to open a
position (if there are several positions still open). If there is no position,
all funds in the account are Free.
For example, the total fund is USD 5,000, and there are some positions
that are still open with a total margin of USD 1,750 and positions that
profit USD 870, which lose USD 240, then: Equity = USD 5,000 + USD 870
- USD 240 = USD 5,630.
Free Margin = USD 5,630 - USD 1,750 = USD 3,880 Margin Level is also
called 'Margin Call Level' or Level where you will be exposed to 'Margin
Call'. 'Margin Level' (in percent) is the comparison between Equity and
total Margin.
Usually brokers set Margin Level = 80% - 100% to charge Margin Call ( ap
different brokers). Suppose you trade with a broker that applies the 100%
Margin Level rule for Margin Call, and you still have USD 5,000 with some
trading positions still open and a total loss (outside the margin), with a
total margin of USD 500.

MARGIN CALL
& STOP OUT
Margin Call (MC) and Stop Out (SO) indicates the limit on the amount of
equity that is determined to experience a loss or a floating loss correction.
MC: 100%, meaning if Margin Level: 100%, then it will be exposed to MC. In
this case, the MC will be affected when Equity: Total Margin.
SO: 30%, meaning that if Margin Level: 30%, then SO will be affected, and
trading will be stopped. In this case, it will be SO when Equity: 30% of the
total Margin.

If CLOSE is above OPEN, it can be said that the CANDLE will be BULLISH which
means the stock market is going up.
Bullish Candle can be seen with BLUE CANDLESTICK. Most platforms will use
BLUE CANDLE as a sign of BULLISH MARKET but it is not always in blue. Some
also use other colors. Follow what suits you best.
Also, if CLOSE is below OPEN, we can say that the CANDLE will be BEARISH
which means the stock market is declining.
On the other hand if the BEARISH candle which is OPEN above CLOSE with a
long body, it means SELLING PRESSURE controls the Market in that time. The
short and small body, on the other hand, shows little activity of buying or

Bearish Engulfing
This is how the Engulfing Bar looks like on the chart. If Bearish Engulfing
Bar, it tells us that the seller is controlling the market.
When this pattern occurs at the end of an uptrend, it tells us that the
Buyer is swallowed or dominated by the Seller which indicates a reversal
trend signal.
As in the picture, we can see when 'Bearish Engulfing' occurs at the end
of the uptrend.
So from here we can expect that the market is a REVERSAL TREND be-
cause the buyer still does not control the market and the seller is trying
to push the market down.

MARKET CYCLE
One of the strategies is to
buy after the price moves
away from the resistance
level (Buy/Sell on breakout).
This is Wyckoff’s market
cycle theory.
Accumulation Phase
Smart Money (SM) has recognized the low/ cheap price market and
started collecting in large quantities. Usually the price will be in a state of
"sideways" (horizontal) and this phase takes a long time, it may even
reach many years.
Mark-Up Phase
At this point, the stocks collected by SM have started to move up after
passing the resistance level of a price. During this phase SM will let the
market rise neutrally.
+2349072714272
f Born To Trade
borntotradebtt@gmail.com
BORN TO
TRADE
Distribution Phase
At this phase, SM will find the price that is already at its peak price and
start releasing their holdings.
The bullish momentum will decrease/ disappear due to the active release
of shares by them. Usually buyers who pass by will be stuck here.
SM will wait for prices to fall at what they consider low to regroup. The
collection process will take a long time.
Using this theory, the volume bar indicator is very important to confirm
the price movement because it is closely related to "demand" and
"supply".

SNR will break. If only the shadow comes out, it is not a breakout but is
