Most Popular Posts

Finding myself in a self-referential mood, I thought it would be interesting and maybe even useful to share the most popular blog posts and subject labels on the site. I'll add this list to the links over on the right and do my best to keep it updated regularly. But remember, just because they're the most popular doesn't make them the best - a principle as applicable here as it is to Britney Spears' career. And with that little disclaimer out of the way, enjoy...

Forex Trading Systems

I recently added new directory categories for Carry Trading Strategies and Chart-Based Trading Systems, so there are now three categories devoted to trading systems, which I thought I'd highlight here:

Automated Trading Systems

Includes: FX Engines, MetaTrader 4, ProSignal, TradeBolt, OneDayTrades, Strategy Runner.

Carry Trading Strategies

Includes: Information about currency carry trades from Investopedia, The Economist, and Oanda forums.

Chart-Based Trading Systems

Includes: BunnyGirl Cross, RickyD System, Ichimoku Kinko Hyo, Trendfollower, Simple Candlestick System, Woodie's CCI System.

Since there are dozens if not hundreds of systems available, I'm sure I've just scratched the surface of what's out there. So any suggestions for ones I've missed would be much appreciated!

New Site Feature: Directory of Forex Resources

I've just put together a little directory of forex products, services, and organizations that I've come across while trading and publishing this blog and thought might come in handy to other forex traders. It's still very much in the early stages so if you'd like to suggest additional resources you feel deserve to be included, please feel free to post them in the comments.

These are the subject areas I've come up with so far:

• Automated Trading Systems


• Calculators & Converters


• Carry Trading Strategies


• Chart-Based Trading Systems


• Currency Brokers & Dealers


• Discussion Forums


• Forex Blogs


• Forex News Services


• Managed Forex Accounts


• Policy, Regulation & Oversight


• Trading Courses & Seminars


• Trading Signals

Hope they're helpful; future topics are likely to include Charting Tools, Trading Strategies and Reference Information, for starters. Any feedback would be much appreciated!
