FX is relative value: you trade one economy and rate path versus another. A clean framework plus structured execution works best. A) Framework: three questions 1) Which central bank is more hawkish or will cut later 2) How are growth and inflation expectations changing (surprise vs consensus) 3) Is the market risk-on or risk-off (flow regimes) B) Execution rules - Draw structure on Daily first (trend, prior highs/lows, key zones), confirm on 4H. - Use MA20/MA60 as a trend filter; avoid fighting a clean trend. - RSI helps more in ranges; in trends, focus on divergence and momentum quality. - Set stops by structure or ATR and size by risk amount, not by desire. C) FX-specific costs Spreads, rollover/swap and session liquidity matter. Volatility and slippage jump around major data releases, so reduce size ahead of events. Start with major pairs where liquidity is deepest.
