Fundamental Drivers
- Interest Rates - Higher rates attract capital, strengthen currency
- Economic Growth - Strong GDP growth = strong currency typically
- Inflation - High inflation often weakens currency (unless central bank hawkish)
- Trade Balance - Surplus strengthens, deficit weakens currency
- Political Stability - Uncertainty drives flight to safe havens (USD, JPY, CHF)
Technical Analysis
- Support/Resistance - Psychological round numbers (1.1000, 1.2000) act as barriers
- Moving Averages - 50/200 EMA crossovers signal trend changes
- RSI - Overbought/oversold conditions in range-bound markets
- Fibonacci Levels - Retracement targets during pullbacks
Risk Management
- Leverage - Typical 50:1 to 500:1 - use cautiously! Can wipe account quickly
- Stop Loss - Always use stops - place beyond recent swing high/low
- Position Sizing - Risk max 1-2% per trade
- Avoid Major News - Spreads widen massively during NFP, FOMC - stay flat
Currency Correlations
- Positive Correlation - EUR/USD + GBP/USD move together (both vs USD)
- Negative Correlation - EUR/USD vs USD/CHF inverse relationship
