Fundamental analysis deals with the why behind how markets move. Macroeconomics, releases, political and economic relationships, and shifting global trends are at the core of every fundamental trader’s routine.
Here are suggestions from fundamental traders who have hands on and have learned from their mistakes.
The number one mistake most new fundamental traders make is spreading themselves too thin. Starting small and learning gradually will let you create a better knowledge core.
Fundamental analysis is mostly used for mid-to-long-term positions, in tactics like swing or position trading. This will dictate your trading route.
More attention to entries and exits, focus on large but often temporary shifts.
A more long-term orientation focused on long-term value.
Locate the key reports for the two countries or blocs that use the currencies that comprise your selected pair. Key reports include:
Overall economic growth.
Inflation indicator.
Show the state of the labour market.
Directly affect currency value.
Dictate central bank strategy.
Display import/export performance.
All trading involves risk. It is possible to lose all your capital.
Define your own expectations, taking into consideration your own findings versus the analyst consensus. You may take your positions, as the markets will have already acted by the time the information comes out.
Watch for deviations from your expected results. Be ready to modify your plan and operate in a high-volatility trading environment.
Confirm direction and exit trades as needed. Technical traders often wait for markets to calm down before opening their next round of positions.
Forex fundamental analysis aims to find the intrinsic value of a currency. In other words, current fluctuations and short-term price action have little value for fundamental traders. Once you find the intrinsic value, don’t panic about short-term adverse movements, market sentiment issues, or momentary bad news. Keeping your goals and your rules in mind is key, and the only way to achieve consistency in fundamental trading.
Closing positions in a panic is the number one mistake fundamental traders make. Number two is staying in losing trades too long. Remember to set rules to manage risk and to stick with them, as that’s the only way to achieve consistent results.
