3. Fundamental Analysis
Fundamental analysis involves evaluating the intrinsic value of a currency by examining macroeconomic factors such as
interest rates, inflation, GDP growth, and political events. Fundamental traders seek to identify currencies that are
undervalued or overvalued based on economic data and news, and take positions accordingly.

Impact of Economic News


Economic news plays a crucial role in fundamental analysis, as it can trigger significant market movements in the Forex
market. Announcements of monetary policy, employment data, inflation reports, and geopolitical events can influence
investor expectations and lead to changes in exchange rates.

Example:
Decisions by the European Central Bank on interest rates directly affect the EUR.

Closely monitoring the economic calendar and understanding how news can impact currencies is essential for fundamental
traders.

Case Study
In 2023, USD/JPY fluctuated 3% after the Fed's monetary policy announcement.
4. Trading Strategies
There are various trading strategies that investors can use in the Forex market, each with its own characteristics and
requirements. The choice of the right strategy depends on the investor's objectives, risk profile, and trading style. Some of the
most popular strategies include scalping, day trading, swing trading, and position trading.

Scalping
Scalping is a short-term strategy that involves opening and closing positions within minutes, with the goal of obtaining small
profits on each trade. Scalpers seek to take advantage of the small price fluctuations that occur throughout the day, executing
a large number of trades to accumulate profits.

Characteristics:
Short-term trades (minutes), with targets of 5-10 pips.
Requires discipline and high execution speed.
Statistics:
60% of professional scalpers achieve an average profit of $200-$500/day.

Day Trading
Day trading is a strategy that involves opening and closing positions within the same day, avoiding leaving positions open
overnight. Day traders seek to take advantage of the price fluctuations that occur throughout the day, using technical and
fundamental analysis to identify trading opportunities.

Example:
Buy GBP/USD at 09:00 (1.2500) and sell at 16:00 (1.2550) ³ Gain of 50 pips.
5. Risk Management
Risk management is a fundamental aspect of trading in the Forex market, as it helps protect the investor's capital and avoid
significant losses. Effective risk management involves setting risk limits, using stop-loss and take-profit, and diversifying the
portfolio.
