Learning To Trade Without Indicators

By Peter Thomas

An important lesson for new traders seeking to find the right kind of Forex Trader Training is that while the indicators that you view on the charting platforms may seem like they are helping; the truth is they are a restraint to your trading.

It may sound irrational and if some had mentioned this when I first began Forex Trading, I would have thought they were sabotaging my efforts.

During the beginning I had tried every indicator to make profits. You name it, and I promise you that I tried it.

I quickly became frustrated because I was so focused on finding the "right" indicator that I didn't learn anything about the market that I was trading. I kept just hoping to find some shortcut to get rich quick. Needless to say I realized that there are no shortcuts when it comes to forex trading.

I was as if bewitched by these so called magical indicators. It made my mind drift away from the reality. I was unaware of what was happening with the currency prices. Instead of focusing in on the important matters, I was paying attention to random and arbitrary formulas.

Many new traders fall into this trap, when really everything they need to know is on a simple-to-use bar chart. Price action is a basic part of what real technical trading is all about. Its a real shame more people arent aware of this fact.

Once the trader understands the movements of price, they will know how to predict where the price is headed in the future.

A simple bar chart, devoid of the unnecessary fillers can surprisingly give you all the clues that you need for trading. - 16931
