What Is EA and what's the point?

In MetaTrader 4, there is a function called "Expert Advisor" Commonly abbreviated EA, Or as we used too familiar with the term robot. This function is useful to order the computer to automatically analyze the charts and then make trades based on the results of the analysis.

Thus of course it is easier for traders, because it will not miss any moment of analysis and, well do not need to sit at the computer for hours waiting for the signal to open positions.

Basic steps to create a robot that is able to generate profit is as follows:

  1. Think about your trading rules and strategies, to translate into a complete and clear pattern. Example: Open a buy if the pair move higher over the five successive bars, then close the position if the last bar is the highest point below the highest point of the previous bar.
  2. Pour the detailed steps on no one was into the programming language MQL. If the trouble, you can read a detailed guide on Help or MQL Editor consult with SFX Club.
  3. After EA in-compile, Do backtest several times and find a favorable setting. Perform forward test with the best settings for 1-2 weeks.

Commodity Currencies

This section will explain about the commodity and how their relationship with the commodity currencies.

What is a commodity currency?

In the world of Forex, there are currency, known as commodity currencies, the currencies of countries that are eksportis raw materials or commodities (such as precious metals, oil, agriculture, etc.). Many countries that fit the description above but the most traded are the New Zealand Dollar, Australian Dollar and Canadian Dollar. Therefore, known by the name of the commodity dollars or "Comdolls".

How commodities affect commodity currency?

For countries producing large quantities of raw materials, the increase of commodity prices allows the country's currency price also rises and vice versa. Below is a commodity currency and how its movement is correlated with a particular commodity.

Canadian Dollar (CAD) and Oil ?


Oil is the lifeblood of the industrialized world and therefore in these conditions, the oil is a commodity traded and observable. Many countries that produce oil in excessive amounts, including Canada, which is one of the world's largest oil producer and has the second largest oil reserves after Saudi Arabia. Canada is also the largest supplier to the biggest oil consumer the United States. Because oil is one of the greatest needs in the industrial United States, raising the price of oil tends to give a bad influence on the U.S. equities and U.S. dollar, in turn will increase the income for Canada.

INCREASE oil prices tend to benefit Canada or harm the United States.
DECREASE in oil prices tend to be detrimental to Canada or the United States profitable.

If the trend of rising oil, the USD / CAD tends to have a trending down, and vice versa.


In the financial world, gold is seen as a safe haven against inflation and also the most heavily traded commodity. For some people, such as trading the Australian dollar gold trading. Australia is the world's largest gold producer and 50% of exports are commodities, including precious metals.

This commodity represents a large portion of Australia's GDP; many traders see the rise and decline of commodity prices, especially gold, which can affect the Australian dollar. Some traders consider the movement of gold as a measure to predict the movements of the AUD / USD.

INCREASE the price of gold tends to benefit Australia.DECREASE gold prices tend to be detrimental to Australia.


Like neighboring Australia, New Zealand's economy is also driven by commodity exports. Most traders do not compare the "Kiwi" with a particular commodity, but the state of commodities markets globally. So rise and fall of commodity prices as a whole, can give NZD movement / USD due to the dependency of New Zealand on their commodity exports.

Summary  

Short term movements in commodity prices usually do not directly affect the currency. Analyzing the relationship with the commodity currencies is better suited for long-term outlook (long term). Although we saw no correlation between the commodity currencies and commodity prices alone, the export is only one part of the economy of a country. We must always look at the country's overall economy, interest rates and political situation. Combining all these aspects will produce a clearer picture and add a better idea of trading on the currency.

Tips to Avoid Losses in Futures Market

The Psychology of Trading: Tools and Techniques for Minding the MarketsOne important element in the futures transaction is the psychology of trading. Ie, by building confidence from within your own that you can achieve success. How can by eliminating the negative information that potentially sabotaging your own trading decisions.

Commitment necessary to organize action in trading through preparation. So that you can always reactive face of the strengthening and weakening of the dynamics of the futures market.

Here are some aspects of discipline that should be explored in an effort to develop the character yourself. These values are valuable stock to plunge directly into the futures market, both in product Forex, Index and Commodity.

1. Study
Yes, learn and keep learning! This is the keyword for all the futures market investors. Most of beginner forex traders are reluctant to take the time to study the factors driving the currency. At the very least, a trader must have a willingness to learn fundamental analysis.

2. Avoid Overtrading
Transactions that are too aggressively, performed many times with a distance of Stop-Loss and Take-Profit targets that are too short would benefit only the broker alone. Apart from gains or losses that you received, the broker will still get a commission.

Take-Profit Set targets only a few dollars a day just to lock the profit in small quantities. Do not be forced to take a Take-Profit larger, it was a strategy leads to more harm and gambling.

3. Avoid Over Leveraged
Leverage can be likened to a double-edged sword. Certain broker can force you to use the High Leverage. It must be remembered that not all brokerage recommendations deserve to be obeyed.

Meaning: with high leverage, real estate income derived from the greater spread. Position-size will determine the amount of total income from the spread. So, the bigger positions with High Leveraged, the greater the spread income earned by the broker.

4. Not Rely On Other People
Trader true is a figure who could succeed because of business and its own merits. Every decision does not depend on others. Learn or ask for help to the trader's trading with more experience was good, but it would be wise if all decisions are still born out of ourselves.

5. Couples Watch Currency, Not One Currency
To be able to accurately predict the direction, you should not just look from one currency only. Same way with only half the transaction estimate the movement. To be effective, do also predict the future direction of the currency pair (pair). Because of the success of this transaction depends entirely on the second currency.

6. Preparation Before Trading
Put the horses in the form of trade policy and specific rules, such as: You are ready loss / profit on how many points? Amounted to 30, 50 or 70 points per enter the market? Or 30, 50 or 70 percent of the initial capital? Determine your attitude here! If you do not have specific policies and rules, then you really do not have the preparation in the trades.

We recommend that you do not tend to classify themselves on the statistical 95 percent loss-Trader, which in turn forces you to stop trading. So that left the arena with the blame instruments and market his business.

7. Trend Following
There are substantial differences between; 'buying at a low price', when the graph is the price continues to decline with a 'buy on the cheap'. Low prices will soon become a high price, when you make trades against the trend.

8. Poor Liquidation Transactions
When you're in the position of the transaction and the results are not good, you have to do is; 'pleasing' (liquidation) position with the appropriate levels. Do not drag on so risky position to add the damage.

Technical Analysis & Behavioural Finance in Fund Management: Discussions with Investment Managers and AnalystsConversely if you have a good transaction and profit (a little), do not be too hasty to immediately liquidate positions or simply out of boredom waiting to get out of stress. It takes a little patience to arrive at a convincing profit. Get familiar with the stress, because stress is a natural process that must be passed by a trader.

9. Notice of Technical Condition
