Trading Strategies

 In finance, a trading strategy  is a predefined set of rules for making trading decisions.
Traders, investment firms and fund managers use a trading strategy to help make wiser investment decisions and help eliminate the emotional aspect of trading. A trading strategy is governed by a set of rules that do not deviate. Emotional bias is eliminated because the systems operate within the parameters known by the trader. The parameters can be trusted based on historical analysis (backtesting) and real world market studies (forward testing), so that the trader can have confidence in the strategy and its operating characteristics

Breakout trading strategies are a common Forex trading strategy. They are primarily used to capture moves in the early stages of a trend when a currency pair moves beyond a preset identifiable trading range.

This range can be defined as a chart pattern, previous highs and lows of the market or the range that the pair has moved in during a trading session.

Breakout trading strategies require orders to be placed in the direction of the break when the market price starts to 'break out' of the formerly established trading range. At this point momentum is anticipated to increase as traders jump on board the market momentum.
