A Short Overview Of Foreign Exchange Rates Forecasting

Foreign Exchange rates forecasting can be very difficult

, and when an individual lacks all of the tools, they may not have the return on their investment that they want. When an individual begins investigating the different models, strategies, and techniques for forecasting rates, the more information that they collect, the better their portfolio will become.

Studying the behavior of exchange rates is one of the goals for an individual who wants to accurately forecast Forex rates. The ability to study these behaviors is especially important when dealing with International exchange rates because they are usually near future trades and demand vigilant and quick action to give a profitable return. Using the right forecasting method will help a trader to evaluate the benefits and risks of trades effectively.

One method that was used by many traders in the past was homoscedasticity or, the assumption of a constant variance in rate change. Using this assumption made forecasting more convenient, and simplified the estimation time of time series models, but was proven to be less than effective in calculating changes in the market or getting the return on investment desired.

The two fundamental approaches most used by traders and Forex programs are the Fundamental Approach and the Technical Approach. The Fundamental Approach uses a wider range of data collection and calculates multiple variables of each rate. The Technical Approach is more simplified, using a smaller sub-set of data and filters to determine changes in the market.

Foreign Exchange Rates forecasting using the Fundamental Approach incorporates many fundamental economic variables. These include the GNP, trade balance, inflation rates, unemployment, productivity indexes, consumption, and trade balance. It is based on a structural equilibrium model that is modified to take into account the statistical characteristics of the data collected.

When this approach is used, trading signals alert the trader when a significant difference appears between the expected rate and the actual rate. When a signal is received due to a mis-pricing, the trader acts on the signal. Using the Technical Approach utilizes filters and a smaller sub-set of data collection techniques.

The Technical Approach uses data collected from past price trends and is developed with a focus on price information. It depends on MA (moving averages) or momentum indicators. Once the data is compiled, trading signals are generated when the rates rise above or below a specific percentage. Depending on the level of risk that is selected, the signal may be generated between 0.5-2%.

Using the Technical Approach, daily fluctuation or noise, is filtered out of data so that an individual is able to determine steady changes and indicators. Incorporating the Momentum Model in this approach, a buy signal will be triggered when the price climbs quickly. Using the Moving Average Model, a signal is triggered when the short-term moving average (SRMA) crosses the long-term moving average (LRMA).

By talking to individuals who are successful traders and have an in depth knowledge of Foreign Exchange Rates forecasting, you will be able to make the best determination of which approach and program will best be able to meet your needs. The individual will be able to provide you with the information you need to determine how effective a method will be for you and which programs use the method that you want to use to increase your effectiveness as a trader.
