You can find some of the different forex trading strategies below:

Scalping – Making quick trades to grab small profits in just seconds or minutes.

Day Trading – Opening and closing trades within the same day—no overnight positions.

Swing Trading – Holding trades for a few days to catch bigger market moves.

Position Trading – Long-term trading based on big-picture trends and fundamentals.

Trend Following – Riding the market trend—buy when it’s going up, sell when it’s going down.

Breakout Trading – Jumping in when the price breaks out of a key level (support/resistance).

Range Trading – Buying low and selling high when the market is stuck between levels.

News-Based Trading – Trading around big economic news or events that shake the market.

Carry Trade – Earning from the interest rate difference between two currencies.

Momentum Trading – Trading based on strong price movements that are likely to continue.

Price Action Trading – Reading the chart using candlesticks and patterns—no indicators.

Grid Trading – Placing buy and sell orders at set intervals above and below a price.

Hedging Strategy – Opening opposite trades to reduce the risk of loss.

Martingale Strategy – Doubling your trade size after a loss, hoping to recover quickly.

Algorithmic Trading – Using automated systems or bots to execute trades for you.

Webinars from Tickmill changed the way I approach trading. I used to rely on signals and tips, but now I build my own strategies. The insights I’ve gained from their experts gave me a deeper understanding of price action, risk management, and psychology. It's not just about knowing when to enter—it's about knowing when to stay out.
