Can 5 pips a trade = Financial Freedom

If you start with a bank of £150 and capture 5 pips a trade 3 times a day = 15 pips a day at £1 a pip and increase to £2 a pip as your bank grows then to £3 a pip, you get the picture build slow and steady, trade safely. In less than 6 weeks you would be trading at £10 per pip, that’s 15 pips a day @ £10 = £150 per day Tax Free. 15 pips a day is all that you need for financial security why because 15 pits a day can equate to, well you can trade a pip from a £1 to £150 per pip, so you do the maths.
So all we need now is a trading strategy that will give us 5 pips + the spread within a trade. Thats what the charting software I use along with pivot points, support and resistance levels does. There is one unique indicator that is not found on any other charting software that identifies a potential trading candle within a 15 min chart using this with pivot points, support and resistance 5 pips is achievable on most trades. With carefull money management and tight stops I think I can do this, so lets find out.
I will be paper trading for the 1st few weeks, then if all is well I will start trading a £1 per pip.

Forex Trading, What Hours Should I Be Ready For Trading?

Once you have decided to enter the Forex trading world you will find that FX trading has many advantages over other capital markets. Including among others; very low margins, free trading platforms, high leverage and around-the-clock trading.

It is my main concern in this article to let you know what hours you should be ready and focus for start trading, so you can expect the highest profits in your trades, and not just consider that around-the-clock trading means you should randomly trade through out the day.

In short, it is important to know what the best hours to trade are because if you want to find an appreciable number of profitable trades you need to enter the forex market at the best period of time, i.e., when the activity, the volume of transactions, is the highest.

At any given time; somebody, somewhere in the world is buying and selling currencies. As one market closes, another market opens. Business hours overlap, and the exchange continues as day becomes night and night becomes day. Giving you 5.5 entire potential trading days.

Forex Trading begins in New Zealand at Sunday 5pm EST, and then is followed by Australia, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and America in this order and through out the day and through out the week until Friday 4pm EST when the American market closes.

Other important facts every Forex trader should know are: the US & UK markets account for more than 50% of the forex market transactions; Forex major markets are: London, New York and Tokyo. Nearly two-thirds of NY activity occurs in the morning hours while European markets are open. And maybe one of the most important characteristics; Forex Trading activity is heaviest when major markets overlap.

So, the answer to the question; "What hours should I be trading?" is dictated by this last characteristic, you should trade when the major markets overlap. Now, when do they overlap?.

Considering the different time zones of the world and open and close times for Australian, New Zealand, Japan, America and Europe markets. We can arrive to the conclusion that there are two major time gaps when two of the major markets overlap during trading hours.

These hours are between 2 am and 4 am EST (Asian/European) and between 8 am to 12 pm EST(European/N. American).

So if you want to catch the best trading opportunities of the day and you are in the American continent you must be ready to wake up early or go to sleep late some times. Of course things change around the world. What's the best region where to trade from if you can't wake up early?� Maybe the Ukraine.
