Zigzag swing FOREX strategy

All you need to profit in forex really, is a discipline and ability to recognize the trend. Basically swings in the direction of trend are longer because price moves in the direction of trend.

Predominant movement in one direction is what characterize trend.

Swing in price structure can be used as a tool of determining trend direction and momentum. However, when it comes to testing swing trading based on wave structure, it gets more difficult as it is based on subjective factors. Perception of the market shifts rapidly once the capital is in stake.

For the best results, trade with professional ECN/STP broker with MT4. If you can't trade with profit. Automatically copy the traders that are already profitable.

This fores strategy uses zigzag forex indicator to simplify wave structure. This simple tool makes it easy to read the swings in the trend and act upon it.
