FX Macro Trader

This is for traders who are interested in trading fundamentals, sentiment, and behavioral tendencies in forex. I believe a true edge comes from using a technique that is based on the underlying mechanisms of the market rather than patterns that simply describe what the market has done in the past. I've interviewed top traders from forex desks at hedge funds and investment banks and found that among other things, demonstrate the following similiarities:

 

1. They believe that the only way to survive and profit in the markets in the long run is to adapt
2. The market is made up of human beings
3. An edge must be based on how the market works and not just what worked in the past
4. They understood probability and weighing outcomes

After helping out several traders here on FF, my blog, and other sites, I've had requests to develop a curriculum/guide for profiting from forex while considering the above characteristics. The resulting course became "FX Macro Trader" and was released recently. In it I feature video-based strategies of capturing the big macro moves as well as ranging-environment trades, and multiple interviews with top institutional and private traders.

I don't have enough room to explain it here, but a more comprehensive explanation is at TradeForexFundamentally.com or my blog. I hope either the course or the wealth of free information on trading with fundamentals is useful to you.

All the best in your trading,

Kris Matthews

We've received a lot of interest lately in our currency options trading strategies so I decided to start up the Facebook page, "Currency Options Trading Corner." Right now you can go there and get my interview with Paul Stafford, a professional forex trader, money manager, and currency risk manager who talks about how to find "dislocations" in the market that can easily be profited from using forex options.

More currency options trading strategies and material will be added in the coming weeks, but for now please enjoy the interview and feel free to take part on the discussion wall.
