The 2009 financial environment is leaving many people feeling uncertain about Share Trading, one only has to observe the charts and listen to reports of companies in trouble, to realise how volatile the Share market is. Yes there is still good gains in it, and with many stocks available at relative bargain prices, there are opportunities to make good returns.

With the deregulation of the Foreign Currency Markets or Forex in the 1990s, increasing numbers of people are exploring this as an alternative income generator. There are many ways to trade Forex, Long term or Scalping, the list goes on, but there is one thing they all share, a high level of risk if you don't know what you are doing.

So it does not really matter how you decide to approach your foray into Forex trading, if you would like to hang on to your money instead of rip it up at an alarming rate, you are going to have to learn Forex trading before you start committing any hard earned cash.

A good starting point is offered by Babypips.com, it’s free and you will get to know some important terms, but they do not train you into how to create Forex trading strategies.

What is a Forex trading strategy? Simply put, it is a system for setting money management rules, analysing the progression of a chart, establishing a possible trade entry point (Setup), confirming the entry point, opening a trade, establishing an exist strategy to both minimise losses and to take profits.

A trading strategy is critical to Forex trading, without it there is no way of working out why you entered a loosing trade and how to correct it, or why the trade worked and how you could improve it.

As you commence trading, a trading strategy provides the system for trading your Demo account. These are provided by most brokers and allow you to make some test trades, without risking real money. You give yourself an account balance and trade it real time testing your trading strategy and watch your account either profit or crash. You'll soon find out what works or not as the time goes by!

To get you started with a specific trading strategy for profiting from market rebounds, there is a free video course which will teach you a trade called the "Rubber Band Trade" so give it a try to get you started.

It's a great little series put together by a Professional Trader and covers the technical analysis for all stages of this specific trade. Once you have trialled this strategy on a Demo account and made it work consistently, you can make it work on a real account and start pulling some profitable trades whilst you develop and test other trading strategies that will make your Forex trading a success. 

I regularly use this trading strategy and still trade it when the charts set up correctly. A quick 20-30 pips? Why would you miss the chance?
