The biggest part of understanding the market in the same light as I do is understanding when the market begins to trade higher or lower. The objective, somewhat contrary to everything you've seen in the past, is that I look to sell when the market is moving up and I look to buy when the market is moving down. The trick is that when the market is moving, whether it be from the daily movement or the retracements into those daily movements it will always change direction. It's the change of direction that will get you in long at the bottom of a movement and short from the top of a movement, that does not mean we will be trying to pick tops or bottoms in the movements but rather we will look for selling opportunities when the market is moving up and the reverse for buying entries when the market is moving down. We do this by identifying when the market begins to trade lower after it's been moving up and to trade higher after market has been moving down
Forex market has its driving forces. Such forces are participants of market. For clarity, it is accepted to divide them into several types: bulls, bears, pigs, rabbits, hogs, lambs. In this zoo, driving forces are exactly bulls and bears. Their clear intentions and determination can greatly influence currency rates. This terminology was adopted from stock market, where emotions play not the last role in movement of quotes, thus, analogy with animals and their typical behaviour provides a clear idea on psychology of market participant.
