The myth that forex prices move to a scientific theory has been spread by vendors who sell predictive trading systems that they say will make a trader rich and they appeal to greedy or naïve traders.
Of course they don't work - why?
If prices could be predicted with scientific accuracy we would all know the price in advance and there would be no market!
Markets move because they are uncertain.
Of course if somebody really had found a scientific theory, they would be to busy making money to sell it to you.
Predicting forex prices is simply another word for hoping or guessing and if you base your forex trading strategy on that you don't have one!
Famous Scientific Theories that Don't Work
There are lots of scientific theories and many are based around the Fibonacci number sequence (which was actually devised to solve a problem to do with the copulation of rabbits in the 12th century) this is not to insult Fibonacci who was a brilliant thinker - but even he would be surprised at how his theory has been hijacked by the far out investment community.
Also in the hall of fame is Elliot and his Wave Theory (lets ignore the fact he died a pauper) and look at his trading system.
There is nothing scientific about the theory.
It's all subjective! If a theory is scientific it should be by definition objective.
Finally we have Gann and natural law - well if he knew how the markets moved why did he lose all his money and have to sell courses to make a living?
None of the theories are scientific.
They appeal to the lazy, naïve and the far out crowd, who love them.
The problem is they don't know the scientific theory of market movement and no one does - because there isn't one.
Let's get in the real word and focus on making money with a forex trading system based upon sensible logic
The Good News!
The good news is that human nature is constant and you can spot repetitive price patterns that can be traded for profit. You won't win every trade - but if you trade the right set ups and execute your trading signal at the right time, you can win longer term.
Forex trading is simply a game of odds but that doesn't mean you can't win - you can and the rewards can be huge.
Trade The Reality and The Odds
The best way to trade forex markets is to use forex charts and look and act upon the reality of price change. A trader who uses technical analysis doesn't care how or why the markets move, he is just wants to make profits when they do.
If you are looking for a level to hold or break wait for confirmation that it has first and go with the trend. Don't anticipate - wait until you see the reality and then execute your trading signal.
So if you want to learn forex trading the right way and get good forex education, understand that trading is a game of odds not certainties - but if you learn to trade them you can make a lot of money.
