Forex & Currency Trading Blogs

If you ever get bored with this forex blog (unlikely, I know, but still possible) I highly recommend these other online purveyors of forex wisdom. I've included their RSS or XML feeds when I could find 'em so you can subscribe if you have an RSS reader (My Yahoo is free and easy to set up, here's where to get started.) Enjoy!

The Forex Project

Frequent updates from a trader who's testing out various forex strategies. I've been following his posts about FX Engines and news trades with particular interest. And check out the topic tags in the left sidebar, a great navigational aid. I wish my blog was this well done!

RSS/XML Feeds: RSS 2.0, Atom XML

Soul's Mad Forex Trading Diary

Updated less frequently since Soul Trader retired from day trading, but still a valuable resource - his post about why he's stopped discretionary trading and the advantages of automated trading is a must-read. My goals are very similar to his and most of my forex work is leaning toward maximum automation whereever possible.

Pippin' Ain't Easy

Great name and a great blog with daily trade updates and detailed chart graphics with showing entry and exit points and on-screen analysis of each trade.

Globetrader

I just read his July 7 post "No System Works Forever" and thought he made some great points about the fallibility of forex systems. This is something that's on my mind a lot, since a change in market conditions can really shift the odds in a system designed under different conditions.

Forex Blog

Written by "forex guru" Adam Kritzer with a heavy focus on news analysis and economic updates affecting the forex markets. Not a lot of technical analysis, but a great read if you have a news-oriented trading strategy.

Simon Super Trader

Since starting up his blog in January 2007 Simon has made some excellent posts on important trading topics. Here's a quote I thought was right on the money: "The Internet is awash with suggested entry techniques, but they are of no value unless you can flawlessly execute them and also know what their true performance is over time."

Vincent Hunt - HuntFX

Blogger and Ichimoku analyst Vincent Hunt shares his thoughts on trading strategy and psychology, and provides detailed analysis of currency trends using the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo system.

So, by now you must have the uncontrollable urge to share your own forex strategies and experiences online. Well then don't control it - blog it! Here are some free blogging platforms to get you started - I use Blogger, but frankly it's not the best and you may have better luck with one of the others:

• Blogger

• Wordpress

• BBLog

This one's good too but you'll have to pay for it: TypePad

If you want to host the blog on your own domain, like this one, there are a lot of affordable web hosting plans to choose from. I use GoDaddy.com for this site. Why? They're cheap! (And also very reliable.) For more advice on blogs and blogging, check out my very own Blog Tips website. Actually, it's a blog too. Shocking, I know.
