Forex Signals – Follow live market updates
A Forex signal is an online trading alert on the currency pairs, indicating fresh trading opportunities.
Signals services allow you to follow and copy trading actions and executions from experienced and successful traders. The providers of these alerts services spot opportunities by using technical tools as well as fundamentals. Alerts are provided either by analysts who perform their moves in real time or by automated systems, like robots, which analyze the market by using sophisticated algorithms. A signal’s quality depends on its success percentage, the simplicity of performance, system efficiency and speed. Forex signals can be provided via websites, Email, SMS or by Tweet.
Who are these services recommended for? Following alerts can be a terrific trading strategy if you:
- Lack the time or energy to trade for yourself and maintain your trades
- Look for extra income from as little effort as possible
- Want to open more than one or two positions simultaneously (it can be a great idea to open a couple of positions based on market alerts, side by side with your own trading positions)

What Not To Do
We’ve prepared for you a list of “7 Forex commandments”. Follow them carefully in order to trade like the pros:
- Don’t trade by blindly following other traders’ opinions or analyses unless you understand the reasons behind their opinions and agree with them. Trust your judgments
- Don’t change your strategy in the middle of open positions. Do not reset your Stop Loss points. Don’t let your emotions and fear of failure control your decisions
- Remember to treat trading as a business. Don’t be smug, too enthusiastic or careless. Act Responsibly!
- Enter trades only if you find good enough reasons that support your decisions. Don’t open positions just “for fun”, or out of boredom. Forex is not supposed to provide you with entertainment. If there is too much emotion involved, then you’re probably not trading right. Forex is not supposed to be exciting like gambling.
- Don’t be too hasty to exit a trade. Neither when winning, or losing. Stick to your plan, close positions only when you feel that the market is behaving opposite to your earlier assumptions
- Don’t use high leverage. Also, remember that the level of leverage must affect where you place your Stop Loss, placing it too close to your entrance price while using leverage can easily erase your position
- Don’t try to run too fast! Forex involves risk, but it isn’t Bellagio’s casino! Practice a little first, get to know your platform, don’t open too many positions at the same time, and be careful not to put your entire capital on the line for a single position.
