John Templeton has been a successful forex trader after learning how to trade price action. Once he understood that all he needed to trade forex was on a plain chart with no indicators, his profits soared. He developed his own course, called Trading in the Buff, where he teaches traders how to properly learn to day trade.
If you are looking for the best way to learn to day trade forex, then I suggest that you lose the indicators that you are probably using and start to see the market the way it was intended. When you use indicators to day trade the forex market, you are essentially saying "I can't figure it out, so I'll let these indicators do all the work for me".
I think you'll find if you do the research, that the majority of the most successful forex day traders around do not use indicators when they trade. This is a shock to most people, but it really shouldn't be.
If you think about it, what separates traders who use indicators from those that do not? It's simple. The traders that don't use indicators trade with discretion, while the traders who use indicators trade mechanically.
This essentially means that the most successful forex day traders realize that they are the ones who have to call the shots not the indicators. So, while many traders are hoping that their indicators like Stochastics are giving them the correct information, the successful day trader rely on themselves to figure out what is the correct and incorrect information.
If you are a long time "indicator", I suggest you pull up a simple bar chart. You'll be amazed at what you can find just by following price movement all day. Once you see all the information it provides, you'll wonder how you ever traded with all those indicators for so long.

The Best Currency Trading Strategy
By: John Temp | 14/07/2009 | Currency TradingIn my opinion, the best currency trading strategy is, sadly, a strategy that is extremely underused. Ironically it's also one of the oldest trading methods around. I'm talking about trading with price action. It's as old as the stock market itself. If you don't believe me, just research traders like Jesse Livermore. He was a floor trader during the beginning of the 20th century. He became a millionaire trader (much more difficult at that time) just by following the price movement of the und
