By now, you must have realised the significance of having a Forex trading plan. But then how do you make one. What are the rules that govern the designing of a forex trading plan. The forex trading plan can be considered to be successful if it gives the forex trader all the information that is required to start and complete the trade.

Forex trading plans basically will consist of technical analysis techniques which in turn give rules that can be used in the trading plan. The rules could be simple or complex based on how experienced you are in the forex trading market.
