This battle will be endless , but the truth is that both technical and fundamental trading are good. with each having its challenges.

As technical trader world economic eveents can rubbish your speculations, while as a fundamental trader if no high impact news you will not be able to trade.

My suggestion is that the two should be married together in a smart form. You need discipline, good money management and a simple trading system. In my next post i will discuss how you can build a simple winning systems.

Thanks for moving this discussion off the TAF thread. As you can see from the first few posts, you should probably start adding something more to this discussion than your first post. So far, you have stated a big, blinding flash of the obvious. Hope to see more from you soon.

I'm not a big fan of fundamentals coz if the same information is available to everyone then, theoretically, there should be no opportunity to make profit especialy in forex market where there are huge number of market participants. On the other hand, technical analysis is based on historic data which says nothing about future movement.

my opinion
totally agree with you. I guess we can see that clearly with what's happening to GBP right now. Change in BOE's asset-purchase policy caused huge gains for GBP for last few days. Tech analysis can then be used to determine where to enter/ext the trade.

i am of the feeling that forex trading is for money making, we are traders to make money.
my opinion is that technical and fundamental trading are complimentary and a good combination of them can make us enough money.

i advocate for a simple system that works, good money management and discipline. i love the EMA and RSI , i trade the news too , when it favors me.

we must find a common ground to use these powerful tools , sychronising them into our trading manual.

all indicators are our yours , but you have to choose the ones that are good for you, test run them and dont ignore news
