Performing Fundamental Analysis: A gradual Approach
To trade forex, one needs an analytical framework within which it is possible to isolate and weigh trends with regards to duration, importance, and trade potential. This framework can be created on the basis of the two familiar schools of forex analysis: technical, and fundamental. Although the technical approach is the more popular one, fundamental analysis is perhaps even more suitable to the task; due to its proven track record in the hands of some of the most famous figures in the trading world. Still, traders often have difficulty in determining how to perform FA, since it is a much more fluid domain, with a greater diversity of tools, and a larger number of ways in which they can be manipulated in the buildup of strategies. To alleviate this problem somewhat for the newcomer, we will be discussing a basic framework for fundamental analysis in this article.
Historical Analysis
When we perform fundamental analysis for online forex trading purposes, we’ll begin with a historical analysis of the prevailing conditions in the trading world. Which phase of the business cycle is the world going through at the moment? Economic events on a global scale have been synchronized for quite a while, and the correlations are even stronger since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
We need to determine the overall growth potential of the world at this stage. Since the average person lacks the sophistication to establish well-defined mathematical models, we’ll proceed by simple comparison. Are there any promising, productivity enhancing technological innovations at the global scale that can provide the catalyst to long term healthy economic growth? Do emerging markets demonstrate enough potential for sustained and reasonably rapid economic developments? What about social and political factors? Are there any looming political conflicts that could derail global growth? Is there any obvious social upheaval threatening the long-term stability of the global economy?
These questions must be answered and weighed according to the dynamics of the era being analyzed, and compared to the previous phase of the cycle.
Global Analysis
At this stage we consider the monetary policies of the developed and developing worlds. The largest nations of the world possess the power to control the fluidity of capital on the international scale which then determines the growth potential of the world economy directly. This analysis is straightforward, and should depend mostly on actions, rather than rhetorics of central banks, and legislators.
National Analysis
This final stage is familiar to most traders. Here we take two currencies and compare them from the point of view of fundamental resilience and stability. Current account balances, forex reserves, growth trends, and interest rate values must be compared carefully, with the latest item receiving the greatest weighting in a majority of cases. The purpose is not necessarily the discovery of the soundest economy since forex trends rarely reflect fundamental factors as defined by theory, but rather to determine the overwhelming fundamental concerns of traders and refining one’s own strategy in that context while remaining aware of potential dangers and risks. Researching and finding the correct forex broker will also reduce such risks.
One must practice in order to learn forex basics, and this approach is of course valid in fundamental studies too. It will take a while to apply fundamental methods to one’s trading, but once it is done the results can be lucrative and surprisingly robust. Needless to say, there are still significant risks involved in fundamental strategies, and the implementation of risk controls in a diligent manner remains a paramount concern, as with all trading scenarios.
