Forex signals trading involves understanding and reacting quickly to opportunities in impacted markets caused by action we see in the global currency markets. There are long standing relationships in the currency markets which have been formed over years of monitoring supply and demand for paper money. Nowawadays speculators dominate the market seeking quick gains from panicked movements of traders and sudden shifts caused by world events. Much of this is described in a day trading signals system called trend trading.

How Forex Signals Trading Has Been Impacted By World Events

I think it’s a good idea to recap the last few years to demonstrate how foreign currency cross rates have been moved by the big news events of our time. While it’s easy to recall the recent events we’re seeing in Cairo, Lybia, Tunisia, etc., we can look further back and see similar world events all pointing in a similar direction.

The events I am talking about are things like the multiple World Trade Center bombings, the first and second US-Iraq wars, and the debt-crisis in the United States, Greece, Ireland, Iceland, Portugal, and Spain. All these events tell a similar story – that demand for “stuff” for lack of a better word far outpaces supply, and as a result some people are forced to go without. People who go without alot eventually get desperate, and we’re pretty much seeing the impact of that everywhere we look in the world.

Welcome to the Race to the Bottom Where All Currencies Are Worthless

Does it not seem that way to you? Take a look at how the recent debt crises have been solved. In each major bank case the response has not been to absorb losses but to retool, restructure, and print currency as fast as humanly possible to salvage the major banks. On the other hand – at least in the US – the FDIC is taking over and wiping out small bank owners at a rate of about 4 per week since Sept 2008 (the Lehman Brothers bank collapse, for those of you who’d forgotten). In this kind of scenario what we end up with is greater risk concentration amongst the largest banks… which is exactly what led to the derivatives crisis in the US in the first place.

Where Should We Be Looking for the Next Forex Signals Trading Moment


I don’t think we’re at the BIG moment yet (when the US dollar is ditched by the world as the reserve currency). I just don’t see that happening because there is just too much infrastructure in place – and despite rumors of a revival of the Chinese Yuan as candidate to replace the greenback… don’t hold your breath. The Chinese are and have been running a phantom economy for decades, and are likely to endure the kind of painful restructuring last seen in Europe – which by the way was the PREVIOUS candidate to replace the US Dollar as the reserve currency. WHOOPS! Guess they were wrong about that!

No – from what I see of movements in the forex markets daily tells me that trading is still dominated by speculation and movements are completely a reaction to the day’s events (or lack thereof when heaven forbid nothing happens). That means all the old mechanisms and relationships remain alive and well. You can see what I mean from this binary options trading post from a couple of months ago to see what I mean. It’s the exact same today.
