  • The Truth

    About FOREX Trends

  • The Core Price Structure and Rhythm of ALL Markets!

    To Successfully Trade the FOREX Markets You need to understand the Underlying Movements and Rhythm of the Markets!

    The following Principles form the Cornerstone of a Consistent and Successful

    Trading Methodology. There is only one major Market Cycle (or movement) in

    existence. The FOREX Market can do nothing else but comply with this one basic

    Market Cycle, we call it

    The Market Flow Analysis Method (Pure PRICE ACTION)

    There is no other Movement or Motion possible in the FOREX Markets.

    The FOREX Markets do NOT move in a Random fashion.

    The FOREX Markets ALWAYS move within the framework of an Underlying Market Wave. Otherwise, known as a TREND, whether it be Up, Down, or

    Sideways.

    Market Flow Analysis Method

    (MFAM)

  • Three Primary Waves (TRENDS) in the FOREX Markets!

    There are only Three (3) Primary Waves (TRENDS) in the FOREX Markets:

    1) UP Trend A Series of Higher Highs and Higher Lows

    2) DOWN Trend A Series of Lower Highs and Lower Lows

    3) SIDEWAYS Trend A Series of relatively Equal Highs and Equal Lows

    Identifying which Wave or TREND the FOREX Market is in is vital to Successful

    Trading.

    The Market Flow Analysis Method (MFAM) is based upon: the Upside Penetration of market HIGHS, and the Downside Penetration of market LOWS.

    New Highs and New Lows are continuously being formed in the Markets. Therefore, Traders

    must identify these important levels to help in mapping out what the Markets are most likely

    going to do next.

    This will help you in identifying if a market is TRENDING UP, TRENDING DOWN, or

    TRENDING SIDEWAYS, at the Early Stages of the Trend and not after the fact.

    Simply being able to identify critical Lows in an UPTREND will enable you to stay

    in a Trend longer and you will know with High Probability at what levels the Market

    is most likely going to change directions.

    The UP Trend is potentially Reversing into a

    DOWN Trend at the Downside Penetration of the MRAL

  • The Best Time to Trade FOREX is: When Two Markets are Open at the Same Time, and When the FOREX Market is Experiencing Higher Volatility and Volume

    For example,

    Sydney (Australia) and Tokyo (Asian Markets) overlap between 7:00PM and 2:00AM EST

    Tokyo (Asian Markets) and London (European Markets) overlap between 3:00AM and 4:00AM EST

    London (European Markets) and New York (North American Markets) overlap between 8:00AM and 12:00PM EST
