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.

Forex (FX) : Foreign Exchange

Similar to other businesses, Forex trading includes the process of buying


one currency at a low price and selling it back when the price has increased
to gain profit.

Forex happens to be a very popular investment because it has very high


returns.

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.

That is where we can help

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.

WHAT MOVES THE


FOREX MARKET?
One of the reasons is 'supply and demand'.

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.

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.

Market sessions can be used as a guide to determine which currencies are


the most traded. Usually, Monday the market is slow due to the new
market opening.

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 & SWAP

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).

PIPS.

Stop Loss: Limit the loss. Can be used from entry 30 PIPS - 50 PIPS.

BALANCE, EQUITY,
MARGIN, FREE MARGIN
& MARGIN LEVEL

Balance is the amount of funds in your account.

Equity = Balance + Flowing Profit / Loss

If you do not have an open position then Equity = Balance

If you have an open position (open) with a temporary profit (floating


profit) USD 500, then:

Equity = Balance + USD 500

If you experienced a loss while floating USD 600 then:

Equity = Balance – USD 600

Margin is connected with Leverage. If you choose leverage 1:100 then


your promised fund is 1% of the contract value. If your leverage is 1:200
then the promised fund is 0.5% of the contract value.

If you open a regular account (standard) and trade EUR/USD, GBP/USD,


AUD/USD atau NZD/USD, then your contract value for 1 lot is USD
100,000.
+2349072714272
f Born To Trade
borntotradebtt@gmail.com
BORN TO
TRADE
In this case, calculation for Margin is:

Margin : (USD 100,000) x (total lot or volume) x (margin percentage) x


(current market price)

Example: Open a standard account with leverage 1:200, buy 2 EUR/USD


lot at the price of 1.0885, then margin is: (USD 100,000) x 2 x 0.5% x
1.0885: USD 1,088.50

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.

Free Margin = Equity - Margin total

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.

Margin Level = (Equity / Margin total) x 100%

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.

Balance: The amount of funds in the account.


Equity: Balance + Profit / Loss
Profit floating: Open a profitable position.
Loss floating: Open a position that has a loss.

MC and SO are determined from the Margin Level.


Margin Level: (Equity / Margin total) x 100%

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.

Forex brokers offer important services for the market, especially for
retail Forex traders.

Since they started operations in the retail market, brokers have helped
open up many opportunities that previously did not exist for individual
traders.

Brokers also offer valuable services to help traders understand price


movements that have the potential to generate profits.

With an internet connection and a computer or mobile phone, traders


can now open a Forex account and trade in a market that was previously
only accessible to banks, large corporations and financial institutions, as
well as very wealthy individuals.

BROKER TYPES

Market Maker (Dealing Desk)

The currency price in the broker is man -made. That is, the price you see
in the chart comes from an internal broker and not from an interbank or
liquidity provider (LP).

Due to fierce competition from brokers to attract customers, the price


they offer is almost the same as the interbank. Market makers make a
profit from spreads and hedging with their customers.

There are 2 types of No Dealing Desk (NDD):

1. Straight Through Processing (STP)


Most STP brokers offer variable spreads. If the spread between liquidity
providers increases, the spread that reaches the trader also increases.
There are also brokers offering fixed spreads.

2. Electronic Communication Network (ECN)


ECN brokers charge a commission and there is a markup on the spread.
Pricing comes from LPs and other ECN traders.

If you are really new to the field of Forex, I recommend to start trading
with virtual money (there is a risk involved) in an account commonly
known as a Forex demo account.

Once you’ve gained experience in demo accounts, you may continue to


open a micro Forex account (suitable for beginners, low deposit) or a
penny (cent) Forex account (account balance in cents, trade in cents) to
start trading in the real market with a small deposit.

OHLC
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.

Candlesticks are shaped from


OPEN , HIGH , LOW & CLOSE
following the time frame that we
use.

Body length refers to STRONG BUYING or SELLING PRESSURE. If there is a


candle that is CLOSE above the OPEN with a long body, it means the bottom
of the BUYER is stronger and they will take over control of the Market in that
time.

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
selling.

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-

This is Wyckoff’s market
cycle theory.

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.

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.

Mark Down Phase


Once SM gives up all their shareholdings, the share price will start to fall
due to more interest in buying shares on a large scale.

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".

Price movement compared to volume is very important to know the


direction of stock price movement.

SUPPORT & RESISTANCE

Support & Resistance (SNR) is a zone.

The simple language is Roof (Resistance) and Floor (Support). The


strength of SNR can be seen through the frequency of price return
(retest) in the zone.

If it happens, it means that the breakout zone is not strong. Make sure it
is in a fresh zone. Can try to do a back test to see the previous SNR level.

Support = Zone below the market price (Low). Buy at Support!

Resistance = Zone above the market price (High). Sell at Resistance!

NOTE: ALWAYS LOOK LEFT FOR THE NEAREST SNR!

Price Bounce

The red circle indicates a price that bounces or changes direction at that
level, and a blue circle indicates that whenever the price returns to that
level it will hold on to Support.

Price Hold

The red circle indicates the price that remained at that level for quite
some time before the market went down. Then every time the price
returns to that level it will survive as Resistance.

IDENTIFYING SUPPORT
& RESISTANCE

What do we see from the image above to determine Support &


Resistance?

If the Support or Resistance area is always tested, and the price is not
successfully penetrated (break), then the stronger the area, it can be said
to be a major Support/ Resistance area.

Price is currently in the area between major Support/ Resistance. There


must be an area that will also be a point back which can be said as a
minor Support/minor Resistance area.

If the Resistance area is successfully penetrated (break), then the area


has the potential to become a Support area. Vice versa.

STRONG OR

& RESISTANCE
How To Identify STRONG Or WEAK SNR?
1. There is a lot of rejection at the price you are trying to achieve. LOW
or HIGH. (Rejection means there is a long tail/shadow on the price)

2. Available on LARGE Time Frames namely H1, H4, Daily, Weekly or


Monthly.

3. The larger the time frame, the stronger the SNR.

4. STRONG SNR is available on large time frame H1 and above.

5. WEAK SNR is available on time frame M30 down.

6. Price needs a breakout (Tembus) areas of SNR and CLOSE body, then
SNR will break. If only the shadow comes out, it is not a breakout but is
called a "SHADOW KILLER" which puts a SELL or BUY trader position.

BREAKOUT

False Breakout Breakout


BREAKOUT can only occur after the body candlestick close passes the
previous highest or lowest price.

If you want to use shadow as a BREAKOUT signal, you need to go to a


lower ti me frame until it finds a candlestick that successfully closes
above the previous highest or lowest price.

However, this method is very risky because the smaller the time frame
used, the more risk of a "false signal"
Important pointsin identifying BREAKOUT:

BREAKOUT occurs after BREAKOUT previous BREAKOUT of previous

Why is BREAKOUT important?

It is the initial signal of the next price direction. When a breakout


occurs, the market is telling where the price is going to go after this.

But, keep in mind that a breakout is not a confirmation for the


market to follow the breakout signal.

Several other things need to be taken into account as confirma on to


determine whether the breakout is valid or doesn't depend on the
techniques used to analyze the market.

Can you BREAKOUT only with shadows or no?

The answer is NO.

Breakouts can occur by means of body candlestick close above the


highest price before or the lowest price before.

continue to rise according to the current price trend.

For example, when a company's stock price moves in an uptrend, it will


rest to make a correction/retracement.

During this retracement, the Pattern Chart will be formed.

If what is formed is a Continuation Pattern, then the market price will
