If you want to get a true understand of the forex markets, you’re not going to be able to accomplish that with the use of forex lagging indicators.

Indicators such as MACD may look great on the charts, but you’d be hard pressed to find anybody who can use it to get a deeper understanding of the markets.

I’m positive we all know how to use an MACD indicator, but what does it mean to the overall price movement and direction of the market? Most don’t really know.

While these kind of indicators may seem like a fast way to learn the markets, the truth is you’re not really learning anything about the market. You’re just using an indicator as a translator. The translator is the indicator interpreting the market and reading it back to you. This may seem like a great thing, but it is doing you a great disservice.

YOU should be the translator. The market shouldn’t have to be translated for you. It’s like going to live in a foreign country for a year. You could probably always find somebody who spoke English, but to really be able to live and enjoy the culture, you are going to have to learn to speak the language. It’s the same case with trading forex. Except the language you have to learn is price action.

With all the trading short-cuts that are now in the forex marketplace, people seem to forget about the first ever form of technical anaylsis, which is Price. I suppose traders are more interested in the shortcut.

You can tell this is true by just going to any forex forum. What do you normally see people talking about? Usually its about some magical system filled with a bunch of indicators or a Forex Expert Advisor that basically uses those same lagging indicators to come up with an automated forex trading system.

Can you tell what’s wrong with all of this?

For one thing, traders must understand that all these kinds of indicators, like RSI or stochastics, are only good for letting you know what has already occured. If you want the ability forecast future movements in prices, then i strongly recommend nor using these indicators.

Traders also need to be able to understand that 9 out of every 10 forex traders are losing money as you read this. If this is the case, why use the same exact tools that all the other struggling traders are using?

Think about this from a logical perspective. Chances are traders that are on a forum are struggling with their trading. If that wasn’t the case why would they even be there? Most truly successful forex traders don’t have the time nor the inclination to hang out in a forex forum.
