The
forex chart is among the most basic tools in a forex trader’s arsenal. Simply
put, it is a graph of a particular currency pair’s performance over a given
period of time. Reading forex charts is essential to a trader’s business, so
it’s important to know how to read them and understand what they mean.
Every
forex chart will be labeled with a currency pair: EUR/USD, USD/GBP, etc.
Remember, all forex trading deals with different countries’ currency in
relation to each other. The EUR/USD chart, for example, tells you how the euro
and the U.S. dollar compare.
Along
the bottom of the chart is the timeline -- 15 minutes, an hour, a day, a week,
or some other period. Going up the right-hand side are incremental amounts. For
the EUR/USD chart, the amounts might be 1.2531 at the bottom, going up to
1.2561 at the top. And of course the middle of the chart shows what position
the EUR/USD pair held at what time.
The
forex chart is useful because it shows in graphic terms how a currency pair is
doing. You can see at a glance whether a currency is getting stronger or
weaker, and you can act accordingly. Choosing the time frame helps you see very
minor trends (in a 15-minute period, say) or more long-term ones (over the
course of several days, perhaps).
You
can find forex charts all over the Internet, on Web sites for forex brokers,
tutors, and on other forex-related sites. Those are fine for glancing at trends
now and then. But to be a serious trader, you need to have access to charts
much more readily, without having to go to a Web site. That’s why trading
software gives you forex charts, too (you need to have broadband Internet so
you can be “always connected”). Obviously, if you’re going to be trading, you
need to have convenient access to the very latest charts.
With
dozens of world currencies, there are far too many possible currency pairs for
anyone to keep track of mentally. Forex charts show at a glance what any
currency pair is up to, and good software allows you to save multiple charts as
“favorites.” Naturally you’ll want to keep an eye on the charts representing
investments you’ve already made, and it’s smart to have a few additional ones
saved, too, so you can watch for trends in currencies you haven’t traded yet.
You never know when a lucrative new opportunity is going to be revealed.
