Day traders will generally identify current market trends and prevailing sentiment and trade in the same direction until a support or resistance level is reached. One of the things that many traders will look for, whether they are trading short-term for just a few minutes, or longer term over hours and days, is how the forex market reacts near important support and resistance levels. Strategies such as trading specific currency pairs that are at play during the times of day you can trade, looking at longer timeframes, implementing price action methods and employing technology will contribute to the success of part-time forex traders.

Technical Forex market strategies rely on the analysis of price charts and historic price data and are based on the three basic tenets of technical analysis, which state that (1) price discounts all information, (2) markets like to trend, and (3) history repeats itself.

The most successful traders are those who devote a lot of time to learning about the markets and developing a strong sense of risk management through proper use of trading strategies.
