This video will show traders how to set up our free forex trend indicators. Traders can use these indicators for multiple time frame analysis to analyze 28 currency pairs across the 8 different currencies we track every day. You can also use these trend indicators to follow our trading plans and the trends of the forex market. This is our “basic” trend indicator setup, some of our other videos will give you options for using the features and templates in the Metatrader charting platform that also fit our trading system.

This video is only 4 minutes and will show you how to set up one pair, then you can duplicate the procedure for all 28 pairs. The setup is for the Metatrader MT4 charting platform using the basic chart window, open, high, low, close barcharts and 5/12 exponential moving averages. It will show you the color settings and how to zoom and magnify the barcharts for better spacing and visibility. Using this procedure you should be able to set up 28 pairs in about 20 – 30 minutes.  We also have a set written instructions for setting up these exponential moving averages for our trading system, just click on the link.

In this video we will show traders how to set up our trend indicators for individual currencies. For example you can set up the USD pairs all grouped together on your screen so you can see all of the USD pairs together. This will allow you to see what individual currencies are strong or weak and consistent based on the trends of the market. This chart setup can be duplicated across any of the 8 currencies we trade. This setup works for the USD pairs, but it can be set up to view all of the JPY pairs on one screen, or all of the AUD pairs on one screen, etc. Once you set up a chart with these simple trend indicators you can arrange them by individual currencies by grouping them with your mouse. By setting up your trend charts this way, traders can group pairs together by individual currencies to match the eight currency groups on The Forex Heatmap®.

Here is an example: If the EUR is consistently strengthening in real time on the The Forex Heatmap® forex heatmap , then all of the EUR pairs will be grouped together in your charts also, for consistency. Conversely if you are analyzing the EUR pairs on the charts they will all be grouped together, just like the heatmap, once again for consistent analysis of one currency. This way your charts are set up to where the chart analytical method matches you trade entry system and is consistent. You can use these individual currency concepts to prepare trading plans based on individual currencies all trending in the same direction across multiple pairs, and it works for all 8 currencies we follow.

This video will show forex traders how to set audible forex price alerts on the metatrader charting platform.  This will allow traders to monitor any currency pair for price breakouts or trend continuations after consolidation phases. First, a trader should locate a trend on the larger time frames for a trend continuations or breakout point.  Then you locate the breakout point on the short term support or resistance levels on the smaller time frames, like the M5 and M15 intraday time frames.

Next, traders can set an audible forex price alerts at the short term levels to intercept the next price movement. Then the video will illustrate the mechanics of setting the price alerts for any pair. When the audible price in the alert is hit, the audible alert will notify you of the price breach on your desktop with an audible alarm, and these alerts can also can also be delivered by email to your email box or mobile device. Then you can check The Forex Heatmap® forex heatmap to verify the trade entry.

This video will show traders how to set up metatrader profiles for easy analysis of individual currencies. This will enable traders to group pairs by individual currency, following the principles of parallel inverse analysis. Setting up a metatrader profile for individual currencies mimics The Forex Heatmap® and our forex market analysis spreadsheet.

You can set up each currency group of 7 pairs in one MT4 profile. Set up one profile for the USD pairs, one profile for the JPY pairs, one profile for the AUD pairs, etc. Then you can access each metatrader profiles template quickly with one mouse click for analyzing an individual currency across 7 pairs. Setting your trend indicators up this way allows you to see the market movements if a particular currency is consistently strong or weak. If the Euro is strong, for example, you can see at a glance if all of the EUR pairs are moving higher. Following the logic of the market is easier with this setup. This is the best MT4 chart template available to forex traders, because you will always know why a group of pairs is moving up or down.

In this video we will use one group of currency pairs to show traders how to build a sample forex trading plan for any pair in that group. These principles for building a trading plan work for any group of pairs with one common currency. Our example will be for the Japanese Yen (JPY) pairs. To prepare a trading plan for the JPY pairs you would drill down the charts using multiple time frame analysis.  The AUD/JPY NZD/JPY, CAD/JPY, EUR/JPY, etc., all 7 JPY pairs total. In this example the long term trends on the higher time frames are all pointing down, and the H4 and D1 time frames are reversing back down into the trend, so the charts show that JPY is strong and that the JPY pairs are dropping. Our trading plans for this day reflect the JPY strength.

We prepare written trading plans for various JPY pairs along with the price alert points for traders to set audible price alerts to detect the movement to the downside. When the price alerts start to hit in the Asian session the JPY pairs are in an obvious sell off and our currency alert system also shows the sell off. This is a very safe way to trade the forex and this method works for all 8 groups of currency pairs we trade, i.e., USD pairs, CHF pairs, NZD pairs, etc., for a total of 28 pairs. Use the techniques in this video to prepare a sample forex trading plan for any group of pairs until you get more practice.
