To get good results trading, you must develop your own trading system or strategy. In this article I will talk about how I trade using an example.

Keep in mind that this article suits my trading system. At the end of the day, everyone has his or her own trading style, and it is important to experiment so you discover what trading style fits you best. You can experiment with a small amount of money.

Search for important levels

With my own trades I use a lot of technical indicators. Before you jump into complicated indicators like moving averages and Fibonacci levels, you should start with the most important levels. Important levels are those that the price can’t seem to break through.

Discovering these levels won’t make it possible to completely trade risk-free, but it increases your chances of success greatly. To discover an important level, you must zoom out. Doing so gives you a better look at the situation on the market and you can discover these levels.

Example: trading AUD/USD

The price of the Australian dollar has reached an ultimate low against the American dollar and it hasn’t moved away from this low level for a few years (11th of June 2013).

When the level was tested again after a while, the price went up and I took a buy position on AUD/USD. Thus I would make money if the price went up. The last time the price went up a lot and by placing my stop loss just below the crucial level and by placing my take profit a lot higher, I would either make a lot or lose just a little.

By using a similar strategy, you can also make money trading when the price goes up! Risk-free trading is impossible, but by starting out with a small amount you can discover how to trade in a way that is 100% profitable.
