How to Trade Cryptocurrencies: a Guide for Beginners

Author: Victor Gryazin

roboforex-header.jpg


Dear Traders,

In this overview, we will discuss the main issues of trading cryptocurrencies. A cryptocurrency is a digital (virtual) financial asset. Operations with such assets remain safe thanks to various methods of cryptography. Cryptocurrencies are still a rather new but already popular financial instrument.

giphy.gif


How to trade cryptocurrencies via a broker?

All the main cryptocurrencies are traded in crypto exchanges, which are modern platforms for buying/selling cryptocurrencies. You can register in a crypto exchange directly and carry out operations with various cryptocurrencies. However, if you plan to use one account for trading cryptocurrencies and other financial instruments (currency pairs, stock indices, oil, gold, etc), you will need to open an account in a broker company.

Apart from the opportunity to trade various assets on one account, a broker provides access to different trading platforms. A modern trading terminal allows using advanced methods of tech analysis, setting up necessary indicators and expert advisors, and controlling risks.

To start trading cryptocurrencies via a broker, you only need to open an account in a broker company with the conditions suitable to you.

How to open an account for trading cryptocurrencies at a broker?

First, register your Personal Member’s Area in a broker company (provide your e-mail and create a password) and get your personal information verified. As a rule, verification requires a scan of a document or two that confirm your identity and dwelling address. The procedure does not take long, normally up to two days.

Then study the types of trading accounts on the company’s website very carefully. The trading conditions of different account types may differ significantly. So, you need to choose an account with the conditions optimal for you and a trading platform. When this is done, open your PMA and deposit the account (there are plenty of ways to do it). Install a trading terminal – and get started.

Trading with Force Index of Alexander Elder

Author: Victor Gryazin

roboforex-header.jpg


Dear Clients and Partners,

In this overview, we will discuss the use of the Force Index. This indicator from the group of oscillators was designed and first applied to trading by a famous market expert Alexander Elder.

Description of the Force Index

The Force Index is an irregular oscillator that helps to estimate who is dominating the market – the bulls or the bears. As I have said, the indicator was designed by a famous trader, author, and the creator of the Elder’s Triple Screens strategy Alexander Elder.

triple-screen-trading-system-360x155.png


The main task of the indicator is to estimate the dynamics of the price and show who is stronger in the market – the bulls or the bears. The indicator uses the following parameters:

  • the direction of the price movement.
  • the price change during a certain period.
  • trade volume.

The Force Index gives us an idea of the market direction. If the line of the indicator is above 0, demonstrating another high, this means an uptrend and the dominance of the bulls. If the Force Index drops below zero, forming local lows, the market is in a downtrend, and the bears are ruling.

The Force Index is displayed in a separate window under the price chart and consists of one main line and the center zero level. Elder recommends D2 and D13 for short-term and medium-term trading, respectively. The Force Index is included in most trading platforms, MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 among them.

Force Index Indicator

The Force Index calculation and setup

To add the Force Index to the price chart of a financial instrument in MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5, open it via the Main Menu: Insert – Indicators – Oscillators – Force Index.

Elder recommended enhancing the results of the Force Index by averaging its values with an Exponential Moving Average (EMA).

Emotional Intelligence: What is It and Why It is Important for Traders

Author: Timofey Zuev

roboforex-header.jpg


Dear Clients and Partners,

Speaking about psychological competences, important for a trader, I would first and foremost single out emotional intelligence. Under emotional intelligence, I understand the ability to distinguish and name your own and other people’s emotional states.

Why is emotional intelligence important for traders?

I suppose that many traders would like to “get rid of emotions” to avoid losses that emotions often cause. However, such ridding would make a person unable to make decisions. An ability to find your way in complicated social situations that are influenced by the “psychology of a crowd” (and a financial market is exactly such a situation) presumes not only the skill to single out patterns (graphic, statistical) from a mass of data but also to feel correctly the market sentiment. To a larger part, market sentiment is the information unavailable to algorithms (though there are attempts to create algorithms that would estimate market sentiment).

Putting things very simply, we might say that the price impulse, spurting from a range and supported by professional demand/supply, will provoke the stereotypical reaction of traders who will try to sell at “inflated” prices. As a result, the trend will further be moved mostly by the emotional reaction of short-term traders who would be closing their positions. A high level of emotional intelligence will let the trader detect such situations and react accordingly.

For sure, the main role of emotional intelligence is to detect your own emotions. If a person (trader) experiences some emotional state that they cannot recognize, this might distort the perception of the market and push out some important information. Simply speaking, the trader will start looking for reasons to make a trade (and find them). In contrast to a simple reactive action, when the trader moves the Stop Loss or “enjoys revenge” on the market, the process here is much more complicated and hard to detect. A trader with distorted perception of reality will be sure that their analysis has been objective, accounting for all necessary factors; alas, their attention will be focused very selectively.

That is why emotional intelligence is so important: it allows to realize your own emotional states in time and avoid distortions.

giphy.gif


Main perceptual distortions in the market
  1. The urge to trade in an inactive market (the trader tries to enter when it would be wiser to just wait).
  2. The desire to go against a breakaway (escaping the range, the price will seem unlawfully “high” or “low”, so the trader will try to open a position, justifying it by “analysis”, drawing new lines and “channels”).
  3. Avoiding trades and risks in times of extremely low volatility (usually before a breakaway).
  4. Decreasing activity after a losing series.
  5. Increasing activity after a profitable series.
I intentionally skip such types of behavior as increasing the lot significantly to win back your losses or make a certain amount of profit. We speak just about mental distortions, not the lack of self-control. When emotions exceed the “pain threshold” and rule one’s behavior, another mechanism that we are going to touch upon comes to the scene.

Most “bad” trades appear when the trader squeezes their perception into a narrow framework and becomes blind to important events and details.
