Some traders in the foreign exchange market prefer not to sit all day and night in front of the computer while seeking profits. Their trading plan revolves around using certain pre-determined settings and then allowing the market to agree or disagree with the set plan while they tend to other business or leisure. Can this model be executed profitably or are the risks too great?
Determining Market Direction
Obviously, it would be to any trader's advantage to know in advance which way the market is heading. If we all knew this, the risks would be almost nil. While no one can determine market direction with absolute certainty, there are analytical tools utilized in technical trading that purport to give the trader a better sense of where the market might be going next. Such tools include the various type indicators applied against a FOREX chart for the desired currency pair. Depending on your risk tolerance, you may decide that you will trade in a single direction based on how the probabilities line up.
Single-Direction Approach
The single-direction approach involves determining which direction you think the market is going. Again, you may utilize technical analysis for this purpose or rely on fundamental analysis, such as news, official reports, events, as well as recent or long-term trends. In order to avoid financial disaster utilizing the single-direction approach, you must be careful to use as many applicable risk management tools as possible. As a general rule, your risk exposure is greater when you are not physically (or mentally) present to properly manage the trade to its completion. However, utilizing risk management tools can at least help you to minimize whatever loss you can potentially suffer. These would include the stop, trailing stop, slippage limiting, and take profit target.
Dual Direction Approach
In the dual direction approach, you may employ something akin to the straddle technique which is not as concerned with which direction the market moves. In other words, whether the market goes up or down, you stand to profit. In addition, by setting your risk management tools prudently, you will also limit the potential losses. There are many variations of the straddle. Therefore, make sure the version you are using applies to the FOREX market and to the type of trading you are doing, such as day trading, swing trading or long-term trading. The settings for your risk management tools will vary accordingly.
Should You Attempt Absentee Trading?
Many currency traders make money while not being physically present to attend the entire session of their trade. The key for success lies in understanding the market, deciding on a sound trading plan and setting up your positions in accordance with your style of trade and the prevailing conditions in the market. But if you are like most, you want to monitor the trade as much as possible so that you can limit your losses and maximize your profits even before the automatic targets are triggered. Naturally, that all depends on your availability of your time, proximity and technological resources.
