Article Surfing ArchiveForex Leading Indicators - Articles SurfingDerived from the words "foreign exchange," Forex is the largest financial market in the world. A highly liquid, voluminous market based on no specific fixed exchange, the forex is traded through financial institutions, dealers, brokers, banks and, most recently, private individuals. An up-and-coming endeavor for the smaller, personal investor, the forex market has only recently become accessible to such traders. In the past, large, required deposits counted out the small investors. But with the advent of internet trading and growing competition within the market, this type of trading is easily accessible for the average investor. Innovations in technology (ie: Internet, 24-hour trading and a global economy) have made it easier than ever to monitor the market and trade when necessary, but without proper forex training and education, private investors run a dangerous road. Forex trading indicators abound, aiding investors in their search for optimum trading times and investing opportunities. Countless amounts of time and energy can be spent studying the latest indicators for keys to success in the market. The average true range indicator measures the volatility of a given forex trading market, where high values indicate that currency trading prices are changing a large amount during the day. Trading bands, such as Bollinger Bands, are among the most popular technical indicators on the market today. In essence, they are lines drawn at certain intervals around a central moving average. They vary in distance from the moving average, once again based on volatility. Another widely used indicator, the Commodity Channel Index, determines how far the current price has been from the average price. High values translate to several days with higher than average prices, and vice versa for low values. But other expert forex investor says indicators might not be the ultimate key to success trading on this market. These traders state that although indicators are the buzz word today new traders should keep in mind that if there was a way to figure out the market, there would be no market. In other words, instead of trying to solve the market, you should approach trading with the correct mindset. How can I get involved, survive and then ultimately take a profit? These traders also say that the ultimate trading indicator, is simply put: price. All other indicators should follow. Success can only be obtained on the forex through proper training, practice, implementation of knowledge learned and repeating those steps consistently, he concluded. With correct training and implementation of correct indicators, trading the forex can be ideal for private investors on many levels. First, it is easy to exchange most currencies based on the enormity of the market. Second, volatility of the market leads to large profits in a very short time. While this is a dangerous investment without a thorough understanding of the market, proper forex training will put any investor in the profit margin. Third, 24-hour-a-day trading, five days a week allows constant access to the forex via telephone, Internet or a broker.
