Forex Supply and Demand

The Reality of Forex Markets - Someone Needs to Say It

By now I know that you the reader have scoured the search engines trying to find out how forex is the next millionaire ticket to financial freedom. It’s like clock work that everyone visits this same introduction to forex trading.
What a lot do not realize is that the forex image is controlled by a majority of smart marketers. Deception of how the markets really work out are provided in the masses. True there is some truth told but most of the bad is skewed and left out. This is a very difficult thing for a beginner because this information is the foundation of what they learn.
Forex markets work the same as any other market in the world. True there is different information that provides the base of the certain market but they all operate in the same manner. So what is the big secret that lies behind how the currency market works? Supply and demand. Yup, a simple economic principle is the over laying factor in price movement.
If you understand supply and demand then you can understand why there are fluctuations in price. Take this for eg. The price of one Euro equals the price of 1.50 US Dollars. Say Bill Gates comes along and decides he wants to purchase billions of Euros at that price. What happens to the supply of the Euros? And what happens for the demand of Euros when the supply gets low? So when demand goes up, whats the basic principle of supply and demand. Prices go up.
There is what you see on the charts when prices go up. Vice versa when prices go down. When you have a consolidated movement of price then there is a equilibrium in supply and demand. That means that for every buy order, it is matched with a sell order and that the breach of demand hasn’t changed either way.
This concept isn’t holy grail system but more of a truth to see what the market really is. Indicators, candle patterns are all tools that really when it gets down to it, just something for the trader to visualize so they have more confidence in they’re trade.
The reality behind the forex market is that the money is there to be made but you have to question why the consensus that 90% fail is still in stand since markets began.

Technical Analysis Just like their counterparts in the equity markets, technical analysts of the Forex trading market analyze price trends. The only real difference between technical analysis in Forex and technical analysis in equities is the time frame that is involved in that Forex markets are open 24 hours a day. Because of this, some forms of technical analysis that factor in time have to be modified so that they can work with the 24 hour Forex market. Some of the most common forms of technical analysis used in Forex are: • The Elliott Waves • Fibonacci studies • Parabolic SAR • Pivot points A lot of technical analysts have a tendency to combine technical studies to make more accurate predictions on your behalf.
