Sigma Forex Fundamental Analysis

Fundamental Analysis

Fundamental analysis is a method of forecasting the future price movements of a financial instrument where fundamental traders basically trade the news.
News Trading has the potential to be a profitable way to trade the Forex market. It must be noted, however, that a high level of risk is involved. Fundamental Traders analyze key economic data, including news and government reports, to evaluate trading opportunities.

From the fundamentalists perspective, currency exchange rates are affected primarily by economic and political conditions, and occasionally by central banks intervening in the currency markets in an attempt to influence the value of their currencies.
Some of the key figures tracked by fundamentalists include interest rates, inflation, trade balance, GDP (Gross Domestic Product), CPI (Consumer Price Index), PPI (Producer Price Index), capacity utilization, factory orders, durable goods orders, inventories, and employment statistics. Fundamentalists are also constantly evaluating the potential impact of military conflicts, natural disasters, and changes in political leadership.

There is a whole art and science to Fundamental trading, or more commonly know as news trading. There are regular news events that get released on a regular basis like weekly, monthly, every 6 weeks (FOMC - Fed Interest rates). These are market moving events. Good news for one currency could be bad news for another. Many times the market already has an expectation, whether it is right or wrong, and for the most part has already been priced into the market.
When an unexpected number comes out, that's when the currencies can go wild, and if you're on the right side of the trade you will make money.

News trading is not black and white. A good number for the USD does not mean the USD will increase in value. It could do the opposite. So keep this in mind if you decide to be a fundamental trader vs. a technical trader.

Fundamental traders have to keep up with the news on a continuous basis and they need to understand what those numbers mean. I can't teach you everything there is to know about fundamental trading, but there are services out there that can help you learn.

MACD with Parabolic SAR

Parabolic SAR is more popular for setting stops than for establishing direction or trend.
Parabolic SAR is base on the following rule: to shift the levels of closing prices only in direction of opened position.
If there is a long position opened before, it is possible to increase the level of closing prices, but not to decrease it.
If the short position is opened, it is possible to decrease the level of closing prices.
The indicator can be very effective if a filter of some sort is used like MACD.
If we were long the market, then only long signals would be taken and the short signals ignored as long as the filter has given a buy signal and remains in buy.
Now you can confirm the signal by using the both indicators.
Signal to buy:
When MACD bars is over 0 level and rising, signal line below bars end and rising and SAR dots below price chart.
Signal to Sell:
When MACD bars is below 0 level and falling, signal line over bars end and falling and SAR dots over price.

SigmaForex Pivot Calacuator

Pivot Calacuator

There are many ways to find support and resistance price levels, but one good and fairly easy to use "Pivot Points". You find them using a "Pivot Calculator"

Why use IT ? They are a long proven, reliable, widely used predictive tool that helps take a lot of the guesswork out of determining exactly where and when to enter or reverse a market position. When entering a basic simple entry, Pivot levels help to you determine in what direction you should go. And they will go a long way to calm fears when trading in real cash.

Pivot points, a technique developed by floor traders, help us see where the price is relative to previous market action.

Pivot Points: Pivot point is a level in which the sentiment of the market changes from “bull” to “bear” or vice versa.

Pivot Points:
P = Pivot
R1 = Resistance level 1
S1 = Support level 1
R2 = Resistance level 2
S2 = Support level 2
R3 = Resistance Level 3
S3 = Support Level 3

MACD with RSI:

The MACD proves most effective in wide-swinging trading markets.
Crossovers: the basic MACD trading rule is to sell when the MACD falls below its signal line.
Average Convergence/Divergence rises above its signal line.
It is also popular to buy/sell when the MACD goes above/below zero.
Overbought/oversold conditions: The MACD is also useful as an overbought/oversold indicator.
When the shorter moving average pulls away dramatically from the longer moving average (i.e., the MACD rises), it is likely that the security price is overextending and will soon return to more realistic levels.
Divergence: An indication that an end to the current trend may be near occurs when the MACD diverges from the security. A bullish divergence occurs when the Moving Average Convergence/Divergence indicator is making new highs while prices fail to reach new highs.
A bearish divergence occurs when the MACD is making new lows while prices fail to reach new lows. Both of these divergences are most significant when they occur at relatively overbought/oversold levels.
Zero Line Crossovers: A crossing of the MACD line up through zero (the centerline) is interpreted as bullish, or down through zero as bearish.
Some analysts choose to buy or sell when the MACD goes above or below zero.
The RSI indicator ranges in value from 0 to 100, with numbers above 70 indicating overbought conditions and fewer than 30 indicating oversold

Signals to buy:
When the MACD rises above the Signal line & above Zero
When the RSI rises above 30
Signal to sell:
When the MACD falls below the Signal line & below zero
When the RSI below 70
