The Hardship of Using a Complex Strategy

Many people try to follow a complex strategy and fail to make a profit. The profit can be easily made if the people know how to use the strategy at the right time and at the right moment. Most of the investors follow the professionals who are skilled in the industry. These people have a lot of experience and know what they are doing. When the hard tactic is used, a novice person may not understand but a professional can easily use to make the money. This article will tell about the problems that a trader may face when trading with a hard game plan. Keep in mind, not every person will have the same conditions- they will depend on the skill and knowledge a person has, the results will vary.

Creating false signals

New Singaporean traders are always fascinated with the complex trading strategy. They are trying their best to make things complex with the hope that it will generate more profit for them. When it comes to real life trading, they start losing money on a regular basis. They simply find a way to blame themselves for not following their complex trading system.

But do you really think the problem lies within the system? The simple answer is NO. The biggest problem a trader can have is lack of knowledge. You don’t need to super hard trading system to make a consistent profit. All you need is access to the best Forex trading account in Singapore and a balanced trading strategy. Many traders at Saxo is making millions of dollars just by using a simple support and resistance level trading strategy. So stop making things complex in trading business.

Not understanding the concept properly

The first problem is that people are unable to understand the idea of the trading strategy. The industry is changing and what it needs to become successful is a trading plot that can adapt to the volatility. The old plans may not work and that is why the people are looking for a complex formula. Using this technique, first, make sure you have understood how to use the blueprint. A person can be given much advice but only follows what he thinks is best. A renowned concept can have many followers but without knowing the idea behind the strategy and understanding it properly, there is no way to improve the profit. A simple system can be easily used when a complex technique needs experience and skill.

The result can be unexpected

Most traders say the result is not what was expected in the trade. The goal was to make a profit but the planning has turned the result. It is for the lack of understanding of the concept. The sector is volatile and there are uncertainties. Even the best people cannot predict successfully future movements. It is best to stick to the common way and avoid the risks. We have seen many wonderful traders started off well in the beginning. These people used simple methods but achieved an amazing result. As they grow older and professional, the plans begin to change and the result was not as good as it was before. It did not take them a long time to understand where the fault was and returned to the first method.

The chances of mistakes are high

With a simple solution, any beginner can follow the advice. However, the hard method can confuse the investors and the flaws can be high. Imagine you have only started the career. The broker will only give the simplest platform to get you started. If a professional looking platform was provided at the beginning, it would take years to understand how to use the different options in Forex. Slowly a person needs to adapt to the industry. A simple way can also be successful if it helps to make a profit. What is important in Forex is to make the money, not to follow a hard plan.

Naira Falls to N1,676.90/$1 at Official Market, Slides to N1,708.87/$1 at Alternative Window

The Naira depreciated at the Nigerian Autonomous Foreign Exchange Market (NAFEM) by 0.61 percent and sold against the US Dollar at N1,676.90/$1 on Monday, November 4.

At the official market, the domestic currency recorded a N10.18 drop versus N1,666.72/$1, valued at the previous session on Friday.

Equally at the black market, the Naira lost N4.76 against the greenback to close at N1,708.87 to the US Dollar compared to N1,704.11/$1 it closed on Friday.

The outcomes came as the weak supply gripping the marker cross paths with high seasonal demand placing pressure on the local currency.

This occurred as supply dropped further at the session as turnover published on the FMDQ Group website stood at $79.47 million indicating that the session’s turnover fell by 15.7 per cent, indicating that there was a decrease of $14.75 million compared to $94.22 million published the previous day.

With the year coming to a close, there has been a higher demand for FX but with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) limiting interventions, constraints have seen a volatile outcome for the local currency.

Equally, the domestic currency also witnessed losses against the British currency and the Euro in the week’s opening session.

On the Pound Sterling, the local currency made a loss of N3.38 to wrap the session at N2,160.63/£1 from N2,157.25/£1 that it sold at the previous session and against the Euro, the Nigerian currency closed at N1,816.40/€1 versus N1,814.79/€1, indicating an N1.61 depreciation.

The local currency also declined in its value against the British currency in the black market as it dropped by N9.63 to sell at N2,217.39/£1 compared with the preceding session’s N2,207.76/£1 and followed the same pattern against the Euro as it depreciated N10.73 to quote at N1,862.98/€1 versus the previous day’s rate of N1,852.25/€1.

The Naira, however, had a different trend against the Canadian Dollar as it appreciated by N1.66 to close at N1,222.33 per Canadian Dollar, compared to Friday’s N1,223.99 per CAD.

CBN’s limited capacity to sufficiently intervene across the market segments and suboptimal inflows from Foreign Portfolio Investors will continue to impact the trajectory of the local currency in coming weeks, analysts said.

Measures that don’t translate to more injection of FX into the pressured market will only provide temporary reprieve, they added.

Meanwhile, the CBN will soon begin to test run its automated FX platform to increase market confidence and reduce speculative trading.

The Naira appreciated by 0.5 percent against the US Dollar in the Nigerian Autonomous Foreign Exchange Market (NAFEX) on Friday following an N8.77 rise to close at N1,666.72/$1 compared with Thursday’s closing rate of N1,675.49/$1 despite worsening supply in the market.

The daily supply of FX as measured by secondary data from FMDQ Securities Exchange Limited indicated that turnover fell by $72.41 million or 43.5 per cent to $94.20 million from $166.61 million.

However, the local currency slid on the Pound Sterling and the Euro in the final session. For the British currency, the local currency depreciated by N10.10 and closed at N2,157.25/£1 from N2,147.15/£1 while it closed at the rate of N1,814.79/€1, a slump of N23.43 against N1,791.36/€1 against the Euro.

Meanwhile, the Naira rose further by N7.66 against the American in the parallel market segment to close at N1,704.11 to the US Dollar compared to N1,711.77/$1 it closed on Thursday.

Also, the domestic currency extended its gain against the British currency during the final session as the Naira made a further appreciation of N16 to trade at N2,207.76/£1 from N2,223.76/£1 that it sold at the previous session and against the Euro, it appreciated N14.82 to close at N1,852.25/€1 versus the previous day’s rate of N1,867.07/€1.

The local currency gained a marginal N1.62 to close at N1,233.99 per Canadian Dollar, compared to Thursday’s N1,235.61 per CAD.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) at the recently concluded World Bank/IMF meetings held in Washington, DC last week said the foreign exchange market will not depend on the apex bank’s intervention for supply and stability.

This is evidenced by the stop of sales of Dollars to the market as it plans to improve supply organically without its intervention from time to time while maintaining balance in the market.

“While you might see us intervene from time to time, we are trying to ensure the market is not dependent on the intervention of the central bank.

“I think that we are looking at conditions that market return as much as possible to improve supply organically without the Central Bank having to put in money all the time,” the CBN deputy governor on economic policy, Mr Mohammed Abdullahi, disclosed.

In a turn of fortune, the Naira rose N6.66 against the greenback in the parallel market segment to close at N1,711.77 to the US Dollar compared to N1,718.43/$1 it closed on Wednesday.

Equally, the Naira weakened its value against the Pound Sterling in the official market by N3.75 to sell at N2,147.15/£1 compared with the preceding session’s N2,143.40/£1.

It followed the same path against the Euro, depreciating N9.29 to quote at N1,791.36/€1 versus midweek’s closing rate of N1,782.07/€1.

In a different outcome in the black market, the domestic currency headed up against the British currency during the Thursday session as the Naira made an appreciation of N10.86 to wrap the session at N2,223.76/£1 from N2,234.62/£1 that it sold at the previous session.

However, the Naira followed a different pattern against the Euro as it depreciated N12.51 to close at N1,867.07/€1 versus the previous day’s rate of N1,854.56/€1.

The local currency gained a marginal 9 Kobo to close at N1,235.61 per Canadian Dollar, compared to Wednesday’s N1,235.70 per CAD.

Investors King reports that the Nigerian macro environment is placing pressure on the FX market with latest data showing that there is a high money supply in the system complemented by a wider government budget deficit.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) revealed that Nigeria’s money supply often known as M3 grew 62.8 percent in the last one year to N109 trillion from N66.9 trillion in September 2023.
