How would you place descending order of these forex strategies on the basis of success rate.

I will place them like this.....

1) Price action
2) Hiken ashi
3) Arbitrage
4) Elliot wave analysis
5) forex signals service

n)...................


please tell me how would you place them ?

success or not, its not depend on all of that. in my opinion it can not rank all of that.

Then which one (strategy) should i use ...?

fully depend on your personality, fully depend on your behaviour, fully depend on your attitude, fully depend on your mentality. the point is know ourself first, after know ourself then the journey on searching and building a weapon that suit with us start. its long journey

Even an indicator crossover strategy that is the stupidest-sounding (to you) can be made to work if the right person with the right attitude to risk and right instinct comes along to trade it.

Exactly. A much better question: What are the key components (in descending order if you will) of a successful trader's makeup and what are the steps I can take to incorporate these components into my own psychology, habits and beliefs. This has been answered in many places, many times. A true trader that accepts and reacts to these key components could make consistent profits with most sound forex strategies. I for one am not at that level yet, nor would I ever want to use a system that is not of my own making, but the principle still stands.

An observation that may be helpful to some:
The Majority of Traders Lose and The Majority of Traders use the above mentioned methods (or variations of them). Almost everything the Majority does should be avoided at all costs or you will soon find yourself in a herd of failures. Try and focus on the things the Majority overlooks.
Unless a person has super human intuition and can predict market movements then using any kind of visual discretionary system is a sure fire way to fail in the long run (for most people).

Another observation:
The Majority of Aspiring Traders use Trading Systems without understanding the logic behind them. If you use any method that you did not create from scratch you will eventually run into trouble. If the system does not have specific rules for every possible future movement that may occur... when a peculiar event does occur that is not described in the system there will be losses.

Most Aspiring Traders jump into Trading head first and don't do enough research on their methods (IMO)
Here's a question for anyone that uses even the simplest of strategies: a Moving Average Cross that signals an Entry.
When a Cross occurs how often does price immediately react in your favour, and define "immediately"?
Most people will give a shot in the dark answer to the above question.
My point being this: most people will estimate the effectiveness of even the most basic entries and still use them without having a solid answer. How on earth can they justify the placing of Take Profit, Stop Loss, the Maximum Duration of the Trades, Re-Entries etc, if the Entry itself is an estimate with no real justification? No research to get a decent answer?
You'd be surprised if you were to define a Head and Shoulders Pattern and tested it's accuracy over a period of years (on different time frames and pairs) you'll end up with around ~50% accuracy of predicting the "immediate" direction of price, now factor in spread... so PA is a definite no-no unless you have some serious intuition. Unless of course you want to follow the majority.

I have spent more time + money on research than I have on trading. Think about why big trading firms and Banks pay big bucks to a variety of their departments to do research, from Statistics to Improving Networks to Program Development and everything in-between? If Research was not needed they would not spend countless millions doing it. < That is what the average trader lacks, of course you don't need millions to get ahead of the herd, as long as you put in more time, effort and money researching than the herd you will succeed.

Trading is a game of precision if you do not know your method inside out how can you improve it/justify using it?

Think for yourself, develop and test your own theories. Whenever someone gives you any insight (myself included) think that they are most likely part of the failing majority of traders and take whatever they have to say with a grain of salt (what's the harm in questioning/thinking more you'll just increase your knowledge).

People will give advice freely but when asked to show profit they'll have excuses (some people are on sites like this for attention/subscribers). And be aware of profitable traders who have proof but may have hidden agendas, also whom have absolutely no need to share their methods with the masses. So you must become independent and do your own work.

Goodluck and Godbless

"successful forex strategies"

==> oxymoron

Lol you got it brother! I steer clear of the Trading Systems Section and only use it to inspire my own methods, but to copy someone else methods that is insanity

Heiken Ashi is not a "strategy": it's a charting method.

My mean to state that there are alot of hiken ashi charting strategies....

Arb def has to be number one, look at my explorer and you will see why. 10k+ USD in one day

If you are using arbitrag then why other traders saying that it can't work in these days......

What EA are you using?
Cheers

PA.
I prefer low volume, long term trend trading.
The older I get - the less I feel a *need* to trade at all times.
