Trading the world’s foreign exchange market can seem daunting, at first, to beginner traders. With the help of certain tools, decisions about what to trade and when, start to become a lot more simple. There is, however, one trading tool which trumps them all — live forex charts.
Live forex charts help traders analyse what is currently happening in the market. They also give special clues and insights into what could happen next — but only for those well versed in how to read forex trading charts.
In this article, we cover all you need to know about how to read forex charts, how to identify signals from different types of live forex trading charts, how to access free forex charts to trade from and why learning how to read candlestick charts could be the best thing you do this year.
How to Access Live Forex Charts
Before you can learn how to read forex charts, you first need to be able to access them. Viewing live forex charts is essential to making trading decisions as they show all the buying and selling activity, currently happening in a market. The MetaTrader platform is one of the best trading platforms used by financial market traders. Admiral Markets offers the following trading platforms, which all come with free forex charts:
Most forex traders start with MetaTrader 4, which you can download for free to start viewing free forex charts. One of the main benefits of these platforms is the fact you can trade directly from the chart you are viewing. So, once you are well versed in how to read forex trading charts and can identify possible signals to trade, you can easily access a live order ticket to buy or sell.
Disclaimer: Charts for financial instruments in this article are for illustrative purposes and does not constitute trading advice or a solicitation to buy or sell any financial instrument provided by Admiral Markets (CFDs, ETFs, Shares). Past performance is not necessarily an indication of future performance.
The above screenshot shows a price chart of the EUR/USD currency pair from the MetaTrader platform, with a selection of currencies that are available for trading on the left-hand side. MetaTrader will show you live forex pricing for the currency pair you are viewing. Typically, your broker receives market prices from the interbank market and their top-tier liquidity providers — ensuring you are truly connected to the global marketplace.
So, what do these free forex charts tell us and how do we read them? Let’s find out!
How to Read Trading Charts
In this section, we will cover the basic elements of reading a chart, before moving to some advanced chart reading in the next section.
1. The Price & Time Axis
All trading charts have ‘time’ along the horizontal x-axis and ‘price’ on the vertical y-axis. This means we can view historical prices as we move to the left of the chart. The dates and times shown will vary depending on how zoomed in or out you are on the chart. The more zoomed out you are, the more historical price action you will see.
In forex trading charts, the vertical y-axis shows the ‘exchange rate’ pricing for the market you are viewing. Based on this simple understanding of price and time we can deduce a few scenarios that help traders make decisions on what to trade and when:
If from the left side of the chart to the right side of the chart, the exchange rate has fallen we can deduce that over that period of time the market is in a downtrend — or, that sellers are in control.
If from the left side of the chart to the right side of the chart, the exchange rate has risen, we can deduce that over that period of time the market is in an uptrend — or, that buyers are in control.
This may sound simple to some but is actually quite important. Why? Because once a trend is set in motion, it could stay so for an extended period of time. To calculate how much a market moves up or down, we need to look at exchange rate pricing and what ‘pips’ are.
2. Exchange Rate Pricing — Pips
The movement of a currency pair is often referred to in ‘pips’, which stands for percentage in points. Essentially, it is just a unit of measurement of price movement. Most currencies are measured in four decimal places. However, any Japanese yen (JPY) currency pairings are measured in two decimal places.
Nowadays, due to algorithmic trading, most platforms offer precision pricing for trading robots to execute transactions within nanoseconds. This is why there is often another number in the exchange rate. However, it can be ignored when calculating pip movements. Let’s view an example:
In the screenshot above of part of a forex trading chart, the highest price level on the chart is 1.13385. The lowest price on this chart is 1.12893. This means the market declined, over time by 49 pips, as 1.1338 minus 1.1289 equals 0.0049.
This is important, as it can determine your monetary profit or loss. When you open a trading ticket to place a trade you must fill out the volume, or position size, of your trade. This is measured in lots where one lot is equal to $10 per pip. This could mean two things from a monetary perspective:
If you bought at 1.1338 and sold at 1.1289, you will have lost 49 pips. If one pip is worth $10, then you have lost $490 (49 pips * $10).
If you sold at 1.1338 and bought back at 1.1289, you will have gained 49 pips. This means you could have made a profit of $490.
This is a very simplified example and figures will vary according to the currency pairs you are trading and the position size you are using. However, risk management is an essential component of long term trading success. To make it more simpler for traders, Admiral Markets offers a free trading calculator, which may prove to be very handy!
3. Chart Types — Line, Bars and Candles
When viewing the exchange rate in live forex charts, there are three different options available to traders using the MetaTrader platform: line charts, bar charts or candlestick charts. When in the MetaTrader platform you can toggle between these different chart types by selecting View -> Toolbars -> Standard option. In the toolbar at the top of your screen, you will now be able to see the box below:
The first option is to view your chart using OHLC bars, the second option offers candlestick charts and the third option offers line charts. Let’s look at each of these in more detail.
Line Charts
A line chart connects the closing prices of the timeframe you are viewing. So, when viewing a daily chart the line connects the closing price of each trading day. This is the most basic type of chart used by traders. It is mainly used to identify bigger picture trends but does not offer much else unlike some of the other chart types.
OHLC Bar Charts
An OHLC bar chart shows a bar for each time period the trader is viewing. So, when looking at a daily chart, each vertical bar represents one day’s worth of trading. The bar chart is unique as it offers much more than the line chart such as the open, high, low and close (OHLC) values of the bar.
The dash on the left represents the opening price and the dash on the right represents the closing price. The high of the bar is the highest price the market traded during the time period selected. The low of the bar is the lowest price the market traded during the time period selected.
The green bars are known as buyer bars as the closing price is above the opening price.
The red bars are known as seller bars as the closing price is below the opening price.
In either case, the OHLC bar charts help traders identify who is in control of the market — buyers or sellers. These bars form the basis of the next chart type called candlestick charts which is the most popular type of forex charting.
Candlestick Charts
Candlestick charts were first used by Japanese rice traders in the 18th century. They are similar to OHLC bars in the fact they also give the open, high, low and close values of a specific time period. However, candlestick charts have a box between the open and close price values. This is also known as the ‘body’ of the candlestick.
Many traders find candlestick charts the most visually appealing when viewing live forex charts. They are also very popular as they provide a variety of price action patterns used by traders all over the world which we discuss in more detail in the next section.
4. Timeframes
When viewing live forex charts, there are multiple timeframes you can use. Typically, the time frame chosen by a trader will depend on their overall style, for example:
The monthly, weekly and daily forex charts, tend to suit traders who hold positions for long periods of time or use swing trading or positional trading styles.
The four-hour, hourly and thirty-minute forex charts, tend to suit traders who like to trade intraday and hold positions for a few hours to a few days.
The 15-minute, five-minute and one-minute forex charts, tend to suit traders who hold positions for very short periods of time such as day traders and scalpers.
When in the MetaTrader platform you can toggle between these different timeframes by selecting View -> Toolbars -> Timeframes. In the toolbar at the top of your screen, you will now be able to see the box below:
When viewing OHLC bar charts or candlestick charts, a new bar, or candle, will form once the chosen time period ends. For example, when on a 5-minute chart (M5), a new bar, or candle, will form every five minutes. Within one hour’s worth of trading, 12 M5 bars or candles will have formed.
Now you understand some of the details involved in how to read forex charts, let’s look at some of the ways traders use these charts to make trading decisions on when and what to trade.
How to Read Candlestick Charts
Below is an example of the two most basic types of candlestick formations: the buyer candle and the seller candle.
Both candles give useful information to a trader:
The high and low price levels tell us the highest price and lowest price made within the timeframe selected.
The seller candle, shown by a red, or sometimes black body tells us that sellers won the battle during the selected time period. This is because the closing price level is lower than the opening price level.
The buyer candle, shown by a green, or sometimes white body tells us that buyers won the battle during the selected time period. This is because the closing price level is higher than the opening price level.
How would traders use this information? In two ways:
If after the seller candle, the next candle goes on to make a new low then it is a sign that sellers are willing to keep on selling the market. This weakness will cause some traders to initiate short (sell) positions, or hold on to the short positions they already have.
If after the buyer candle, the next candle goes on to make a new high then it is a sign that buyers are willing to keep on buying the market. This strength will cause some traders to initiate long (buy) positions, or hold on to the long positions they already have.
The usefulness of candlestick charts does not stop there. When learning how to read candlestick charts it is also worthwhile looking at some of the major types of unique patterns they make, as they help traders in their decision-making process.
Bullish Candlestick Chart Patterns
Here are just a few examples of bullish candlesticks:
The hammer candle shows sellers pushing the market to a new low and then the buyers pushing it all the way back up. With the open and close price levels in the upper half of the candle, it represents a rejection of the downside and possible strength to the upside in the future.
The bullish harami is a red candle followed by a green candle pattern which represents indecision in the market and the possibility of a breakout from it. These are also called ‘inside candle’ formations as one candle forms inside the previous candle’s high to low price range.
The bullish engulfing is a red candle followed by a green candle pattern which represents a strong shift in sentiment in the market. Essentially, a candle totally engulfs the previous candle’s high to low price range suggesting a continuation to the upside is likely.
Bearish Candlestick Chart Patterns
Here are just a few examples of bearish candlesticks:
The inverted hammer, also known as a shooting star, candle shows buyers pushing the market to a new high and then the sellers pushing it all the way back down. With the open and close price levels in the lower half of the candle, it represents a rejection of the upside and a possible move to the downside next.
The bearish harami is a green candle followed by a red candle pattern which represents indecision in the market and the possibility of a breakout from it. These are also called ‘inside candle’ formations as one candle forms inside the previous candle’s high to low price range.
The bearish engulfing is a green candle followed by a red candle pattern which represents a strong shift in sentiment in the market. Essentially, a candle totally engulfs the previous candle’s high to low price range suggesting a continuation to the downside is likely.
Identifying Forex Trading Patterns on Candlestick Charts
Now you know more on how to read candlestick charts, can you spot any candlestick patterns below?
These are just some of the patterns you can typically find on candlestick charts. It doesn’t highlight all of them but is a great foundation to build upon. What you may notice is that sometimes these patterns start the beginning of a prolonged directional move. In fact, looking back it is clear to see the market cycles of the chart more clearly.
Identifying market cycles can be useful when analysing forex trading charts, as they can help determine the overall trend or future directional bias of a market. Of course, it doesn’t tell us how many pips the market will move by but can certainly to help form part of the picture when reading forex charts.
Conclusion
When first looking at forex trading charts, it can seem daunting. However, understanding the price and time axis helps to determine what has happened historically, which could help to identify what is more likely to happen next. Understanding the exchange rate and how to calculate pips helps traders analyse risk, especially when used with the Admiral Markets trading calculator.
All three different chart types have unique characteristics, with candlestick charts the most popular among traders around the world. Identifying patterns from candlestick charts — such as a bearish harami or bullish engulfing — can help traders identify possible turning points and the beginning, or end of, market cycles.

Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with foreign exchange trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
Different Types Of Forex Charts
Forex trading requires sufficient practice and learning. A basic skill needed for this type of trading is understanding the forex charts (technical analysis). Most forex traders rely on real-time charts to keep themselves informed of the ongoing market situation and trade according to how the market moves. It’s a practice that makes online trading a whole lot easier. However, comprehension and interpretation of forex charts requires skills and experience.
Significance of Forex Charts
Visual chart patterns enable the trader to remain focused on price movement without evaluating the reasons responsible for movement of the price (fundamental analysis).
The quick emergence of patterns in price movements enables the trader to watch not just the news, but also the reaction of other traders to news that is released.
Trends are measureable and cyclical. A forex trader who understands the imputed information in price movements can evaluate trends from the previous periods (weeks, months, or years) and trade accordingly.
Line Chart
Line charts are perhaps the simplest of forex charts, focusing on the closing prices of any given currency. (Note that forex values are always quoted in pairs, such as GBP/USD or USD/JPY. In every forex exchange transaction, you are simultaneously buying one (base) currency and selling another (quote currency)). You just need to draw a straight line from one closing price to another to understand the movement in price of a given currency over a defined period of time.
Bar Chart
Though slightly more difficult to read and comprehend than the line chart, a bar chart displays a more precise representation of price movements. Apart from the closing and opening prices, it also shows the low and high price of the currency pair you may be trading in. It is comprised of vertical lines, each line showing the price variation (lowest and highest prices) over a unit of time, from ticks (individual trades) to weeks, or more. The corresponding forex charts have tick marks, projecting out from each end of the line to indicate the opening price. For example, if it were a daily bar chart, it would indicate the opening price for that day on the left while the closing price for that time period would be shown on the right. The bars are usually shown in different colors to show if prices went up or down in that period.
Candlestick Chart
Candlestick price charts were developed by Japanese rice traders over 150 years ago. This kind of chart is as accurate as the bar chart but displays information in a more helpful manner. Many traders appreciate its convenient patterns that facilitate estimation of trends and likely changes in prices. This chart combines a line chart and a bar chart, with each bar representing all the four significant pieces of information for any chosen day: the open, the close, the high, and the low.
The hollow or filled portion of the candlestick is called «the body» (also referred to as «the real body»). The long thin lines above and below the body represent the high/low range and are called «shadows» (also referred to as «wicks» and «tails»). The high is marked by the top of the upper shadow and the low by the bottom of the lower shadow. If the stock closes higher than its opening price, a hollow candlestick is drawn with the bottom of the body representing the opening price and the top of the body representing the closing price. If the stock closes lower than its opening price, a filled candlestick is drawn with the top of the body representing the opening price and the bottom of the body representing the closing price.

Triangle Chart Patterns
Spotting chart patterns is a popular hobby amongst traders of all skill levels, and one of the easiest patterns to spot is a triangle pattern. However, there is more than one kind of triangle to find, and there are a couple of ways to trade them. Here are some of the more basic methods to both finding and trading these patterns.
What is an ascending triangle?
The ascending triangles form when the price follows a rising trendline. However, the trend consolidates, failing to make new highs.
Ascending triangles are considered to be continuation patterns. Therefore, a break of the resistance prompts a rally.
The pattern is negated if the price breaks below the upward sloping trendline.
The example below of the EUR/USD (Euro/U.S. Dollar) illustrates an ascending triangle pattern on a 30-minute chart. After a prolonged uptrend marked by an ascending trendline between A and B, the EUR/USD temporarily consolidated, unable to form a new high or fall below the support. The pair reverted to test resistance on three distinct occurrences between B and C, but it was incapable of breaking it.
The ascending triangle pattern formed once a horizontal resistance and ascending support lines acted as buffers for the price action. Finally, EUR/USD breached resistance at E, signaling a potential bullish breakout.
EUR/USD
How can you trade ascending triangles?
Typically you want to buy after the pattern breaks resistance, as it did at E. It is good practice to set a stop-loss just below the last significant low, which in this example is at D.
Look at the chart below, a continuation of the EUR/USD. Once the ascending triangle formation is formed, we wait for a confirmation candle to signal a breakout. Since the following candle (at F) continued to advance higher, we enter the position at 1.4160, while placing our stop-loss slightly below the previous significant low at 1.4110 (a 50-pip difference from the buy price).
The EUR/USD rallies upward in line with our desired direction. The pair advances roughly 100 pips before consolidating once more at G, providing us with a 2:1 reward-to-risk ratio.
EUR/USD
What is a descending triangle?
Not surprisingly, the descending triangle is the opposite of the ascending triangle. It forms when the price follows a downward trendline and then consolidates, failing to make new lows or break a downward trendline.
Descending triangles are considered continuation patterns. Therefore, a break in the support prompts the price to fall.
The pattern is negated if the price breaks the downward sloping trendline.
NZD/USD
The example above of the NZD/USD (New Zealand Dollar/U.S. Dollar) illustrates a descending triangle pattern on a five-minute chart. After a downtrend which followed a descending trendline between A and B, the pair temporarily consolidated between B and C, unable to make a new low. The pair reverted to test resistance on two distinct occurrences, but it was incapable of breaking out to the upside at D. The pattern formed a horizontal support while descending resistance lines acted as buffers for the price action. Finally, the NZD/USD breached the resistance at E, signaling a potential bearish breakdown.
How can we trade descending triangles?
Typically you want to buy after the pattern breaks resistance, as it did at E. It is good practice to set a stop-loss just below the last significant high, which in this example is at D.
Look at the chart below, which is a continuation of the NZD/USD chart above. Once the descending triangle formation is completed, we wait for a candle to breakout from the pattern, as it did at E. We sell short NZD/USD at 0.6375, while placing our stop-loss slightly above the previous significant high at 0.6405 (a 30-pip difference from the sell price). NZD/USD tumbles in our desired direction.
The pair descends roughly 90 pips before consolidating once more at F, providing a 3:1 reward-to-risk ratio. Considering this is a five-minute chart, the profits and risks are generally smaller than if the pattern appeared on a larger timeframe.
NZD/USD
What is a symmetrical triangle?
The pattern is identified by two discrete trendlines. The first trendline connects a series of lower peaks, while the second trendline connects a series of higher troughs.
Symmetrical triangles generally form during consolidation and the volatility tends to decline as the pattern progresses.
Symmetrical triangles tend to be neutral and can signal either a bullish or a bearish situation. Therefore, a breakout from the pattern in either direction signals a new trend.
NZD/USD
The example above of the NZD/USD illustrates a symmetrical triangle formation on a 15-minute chart. After a rapid uptrend, the pair consolidated between A and B, unable to find a distinct trend. During the consolidating state, the pair continued to form a series of lower peaks and higher troughs. Volatility dropped off considerably, if compared to the beginning of the formation. Ultimately, the pattern ended when both of the trendlines came together at C.
How can we trade symmetrical triangles?
Since bias upon the conclusion of the pattern pointed higher, we look for an opportunity to buy the pair. Given the candle following the conclusion of the trend rallied at D, we bought NZD/USD at 0.6240. We place our stop-loss slightly below the most recent significant low at 0.6215 (a 25-pip difference from the buy price). The pair continued to consolidate prior to rallying approximately 80 pips at E. Considering this is a 15-minute chart, the profits and risks are generally smaller than if the pattern appeared on a larger timeframe.

Binary Options Charts – Free Charting
Binary options charts have not always been of high quality when delivered direct from brokers – as discussed in more detail below. That is changing however, particularly with established CFD and spread betting brokers entering the binary options market.

Where to get more charting
If you have used any of the binary options broker platforms, or you are just a beginner who has looked around one or two of the platforms, one thing will stand out in a glaring fashion: the absence of interactive charts. Charts are the mainstay of technical analysis in the binary options market. Without charts, there would be no analysis of assets for trading opportunities, and without analysis, the trader would essentially be gambling.
It is important for the trader to know where to access charting tools for trade analysis, as these will provide the trader with information for an informed trade decision when trading binary options assets. In this piece, we will identify some places where traders can get charting tools in order to analyze the markets and trade profitably.
Charts Explained:
Chart Sources
Chart sources are of two types:
a) Online charts are web-based charts available from the websites of certain brokers and software vendors. These charts generally do not provide a lot of flexibility in terms of interactivity and the tools that can be used with them. For the purposes of binary options trading, it is not recommended to use online charts.
b) Downloadable charts as the name implies, can be downloaded either as part of forex trading platforms or as software standalone plug-ins. They are the best for the purposes of analysis of assets for binary options trading since they come along with many tools that augment the results of analysis. They are the recommended chart software for binary options analysis.
Some of the charting sources will provide free access to the charting tools. There are some which are free but will require some paid plug-ins to work, and there will be those that come in a complete package that has to be paid for 100%. Some of these charting sources for downloadable forex charts that are used for binary options analysis are as follows:
aa) FreeBinaryOptionsCharts.com
FreeBinaryOptionsCharts.com has an easy to use (and free) binary options chart. They also have a great guide for beginners about how to use binary options charts. This is Mifune’s site and so the quality of the strategy articles is very high.
a) Forex Charts Widget v1.7
Developed by Chris Craig and available for a free download from Softpedia, the Forex Charts Widget v1.7 is a downloadable chart software that allows the user to view the currency charts for several pairs. The user will have the ability to choose the time frame and apply a set of indicators that come with the plug-in.
b) MT4 Charts
Probably the best source for free charting information and interactive charts is the MetaTrader4 platform.
This platform is available from almost every market maker broker in the forex market that there is. However, there are a few worth mentioning due to the fact that they have a more comprehensive asset base that matches the binary options asset index.
Ideally, you should download the MT4 platform of a broker that has more than 40 currency pairs, all the major stock indices (or at least 8 of them), stocks and the spot metals (gold and silver, sometimes listed as XAUUSD and XAGUSD respectively).
Examples of the MT platforms that you should use for your charts are those from FXCM, FxPro, Finotec and Forex.com. Virtually everything that you need for charting is found on these platforms. The best part is that it is all free and can be obtained when you download the MT4 platform and create a demo account. Another beautiful factor that works in the MT4’s favour is that the MQL programming language on which the platform was built supports the building of EAs, indicators and software plug-ins that aid in signal generation. These signals can then be exported to the MT4 platforms. Check out our MT4 guide in the forum for more info here or watch this video which explains some tips and tricks for MT4:
c) Interactive Brokers Information Systems (IBIS)
The word “interactive” in this broker’s name says it all. Interactive Brokers has one of the most comprehensive charting platforms for technical analysis. The Interactive Brokers Information System (IBIS) platform provides institutional level charting facilities. The charting facilities on IBIS boast of 22 configurable technical indicators, an alert wand that supports alert creation, and allows traders to use any of the three chart types (bar chart, line chart or candlesticks). The package comes at a cost though. Users have to subscribe to its use at a cost of $69 a month.
d) My FX Dashboard (from OFX)
This forex charting service from OFX allows traders to conduct lines studies, use indicators,etc. This software is not downloadable, but is a Java-enabled web-based application that allows users to switch between basic charts and advanced charts. This charting software is coded with EasyLanguage, which is the programming language that powers FXCM’s TradeStation, so you can also use it as a software plug-in on FXCM’s flagship trading platform.
e) MultiCharts
Multicharts is a downloadable chart software that provides high-definition forex charts on 30 different currency pairs in partnership with TradingView. The charts also have a web-based version. Traders can utilize several time frames that span from one minute up to one month. Developed by MCFX, the MultiChart charting and trading platform is a robust package that even has a unique ODM chart trading feature that zeroes down on the exact price that a trader wants to execute his trade on, tags it and uses this information to remind the trader about the trade if there is a lag in time between signal generation and trade execution.
f) Free Stock Charts
Nuff said. Click here for free stock charts. (Go To “Help” in FreeStockCharts.com and view the video tutorial, it is very helpful for beginners.) Looking for Candlestick view on fsc.com, go to top left of chart and click on Price History in green then click Edit, then change the “Plot Style” from HLC Bars to Candlestick and click “OK.”
There are many other sources of charting information for use in generating binary options signals. It is up to the trader to decide on which one to use based on cost, ease of use and other parameters tailored to taste.

Why Serious Traders Need ‘New York Close’ Forex Charts
This is an extremely important lesson about why you need to be using New York Close Forex Charts to effectively trade the price action strategies I teach my students. If you’re truly serious about your trading, you should pay close attention to what I am going to discuss here… it will make a huge difference in your trading.
Let me explain why New York Close Forex Charts Are So Important…
In a nutshell, traders need to be aware that the normal Forex charts offered by popular forex brokers out there are NOT suitable for professional price action trading or any form of technical analysis in my opinion. If you’re a serious trader you need to ensure that you have forex charts which open and close in true alignment with the New York trading session close (this is the real forex market daily closing time). These charts also need to have 5 daily bars per week instead of 6. This will ensure you are seeing the correct price data and you will then be able to analyze the exact same price action signals that myself and all of my members see.
I am going to get into much more detail on this subject below, however if you don’t want to read this entire lesson you can just download our preferred New York Close Forex Charting Platform Here.
Most forex brokers simple do not offer the most relevant or effective charts for you to make your trading decisions from. For many beginning traders, the fact that they might be looking at charts that aren’t accurate does not even occur to them. Let me assure you this is something that you NEED to seriously consider before trading live, and you probably won’t read about it on other Forex trading education websites.
Proof That You Need New York Close 5-day Charts
The daily close of the Forex market takes place at 4:59:59 pm NY time and signals the end of the current Forex trading day and the start of the new one which occurs at 5pm NY time as New Zealand / Australia and Asia trading gets underway. The New York close also reflects the close of the 2nd heaviest Forex trading session which is the New York session.
Closing prices are the most important in any market because they reflect who won the battle between the bulls and bears for that session. Also, as a price action trader focusing on the daily chart, we need to see the price action setup close out on the daily chart before we can correctly identify it as a price action signal, and it’s at the daily chart close that many significant price action setups form.
Due to the fact that daily chart trading strategies are critical for all traders to learn, we all need to see the most accurate and relevant daily chart closing price. Traders who are planning on being members of my trading community need to have the correct NY close 5-day charts since my price action strategies are focused around the daily charts and all my members use the correct NY close charting platform.
Not all MT4 (Metatrader4) Platforms are the same, in fact, most MT4 providers are on GMT time and show 6 daily price bars which is very WRONG and will sometimes show “false signals” and this can lead to very big problems. You WILL NOT be able to follow my trading patterns or ideas if you’re not using the correct charts.
Example of a Non-New York Close 6-day Chart vs. a New York Close 5-day Chart
Note all the little Sunday bars on the non-New York close chart on the left. These Sunday bars should not be there and they are not relevant; they just take up space and add unnecessary variables to the chart which will confuse you and many times generate false signals. There are only 5 trading days per week in each major currency trading center around the world, but due to the 24hr nature of Forex, some platforms show a “Sunday” bar, this is incorrect and unnecessary…
New York close 5-day charts provide more accurate price action trading signals
If you want the SAME charts and price action bar/candle formations to show up on your charts that my members and I use, you should use ‘New York Close Charts on Meta Trader‘ with the correct data feed.
Most of my members and myself included would have missed the approximate 200 pip move that resulted from the pin bar reversal setup on the NY close chart on the left had we been looking at a Non-New York close chart like the one on the right…
Only a handful of brokers offer a true ’5 Day Chart’ with the correct open and close shape of the daily price bar. My members and I use a 5-day chart with a New York close MT4 data sever to generate my Price Action Trading Signals. If You are not using New York Close Forex Charts, you won’t see the same trading setups/signals.
Some traders email me asking if they can “adjust” the platform time on their trading platform, and the answer is that you cannot adjust it. The time at which your daily bars close out is set by the broker offering the platform and a broker either offers NY close 5-day charts, or they don’t…
So You Need To Find a Good Broker Who Offers the Correct Charts. See Below For Details of Suggested Brokers & Charts.
WHAT BROKER Has The Correct New York Close Charts ? (Who Can you trust to trade with?)
Whilst we can’t make any guarantees, we’ve certainly done our homework and we work with a broker who offers the correct NY close 5-day charts and they are in my experience, reputable and reliable. My recommended broker offers direct access to bank prices and they run a genuine regulated operation. They also have the correct charts on a mobile dealing platform for your iPhone or mobile. They also offer a wide variety of other markets including CFD’s, Commodities and Indices. Click Here To Get a Demo Of Our Preferred Forex Broker Platform

Где смотреть форекс котировки на выходных?
Приветствую, товарищи форекс трейдеры. Как мы все знаем, на финансовых рынках деньги не спят. И Forex — не исключение. Сделки заключаются 24 часа в сутки, 5 дней в неделю. Заявки от крупных игроков продолжат приходить к брокерам и на выходных. А это иногда приводит, как мы помним, к ГЭПам. И вот, вы сидите в воскресенье вечером в ожидании открытия рынка, гадаете какой будет цена, по которой начнутся торги. А на самом деле есть возможность заранее узнать будет ли ГЭП и насколько изменились котировки с момента закрытия в пятницу. Кто предупрежден, тот вооружен. И в этом уроке мы поговорим о том, где и как узнать актуальные котировки форекс на выходных, когда ваш торговый терминал не работает.
Где смотреть форекс котировки на выходных?
Итак, где же мы будем смотреть котировки в выходные пока ещё цена в нашем торговом терминале стоит на месте?
Вы можете видеть, что на момент написания статьи цена закрытия свечи, то есть последняя цена, которая была на графике пары EUR/USD, составила 1,0809. Пока рынок не откроется в нашем торговом терминале мы не узнаем, произошёл ли ГЭП, упала ли цена или увеличилась.
Мы не располагаем никакой информацией. А это бывает очень полезно знать, особенно когда случаются ГЭПы. Ведь если вы заранее знаете, что случится ГЭП, вы сможете предпринять какие-либо действия на открытии рынка. То есть отторговать этот ГЭП, либо же как можно быстрее закрыть позиции.
Это поможет вам понять, ждать ли вам открытия рынка или же оставить всё как есть и пораньше лечь спать.
Где мы будем смотреть котировки?
Существует несколько вариантов, но самый популярный и удобный вариант – forex.tradingcharts.com.
На этом сайте помимо графиков и котировок есть ещё различные новости и прогнозы, но на английском языке. Но язык котировок и графиков интернациональный, поэтому нам это не помешает.
Можно открыть график интересующей нас валютной пары прямо из меню:
Или вы можете нажать на ссылку в меню «CHARTS & QUOTES» и откроется отдельная страница с графиком:
Стандартно для графика стоит валютная пара EUR/USD. Вы можете легко заменить её на нужную вам:
В меню есть последние открытые валютные пары, распределение по популярным и мажорам.
Если в списке вы не нашли нужной вам валютной пары, то нажмите на Other/Select:
В открывшемся меню можно выбрать интересующую вас валютную пару:
Давайте разберём на примере валютную пару EUR/USD:
По умолчанию время стоит GMT, то есть по Гринвичу. Мы его менять не будем потому что для нас так удобнее:
На графике вы можете выставить бары, свечи, линейный график и даже добавлять скользящие средние и иные различные стандартные индикаторы:
Период графика можно установить на 1 минуту, 5 минут, 1 час и 1 день:
Для наглядности я поставлю 5 минут и, чтобы сохранить изменения, нажму на кнопку «Save», которая находится справа.
В итоге у нас откроется вот такой график:
Обратите внимание, когда мы проводим курсор вдоль графика у нас меняются показатели в информационной панели наверху:
В нём нас интересует время, цена открытия, цена закрытия свечи, high и low. Как мы видим, у нас идут данные за пятницу, а затем уже дата на воскресенье. Обратите внимание, цена у нас была в районе 1,0829, а потом резко на 10 пунктов падает, и следующая свеча показывает 1,0819 пунктов. Всё из-за очень низкой ликвидности. Поэтому цена может упасть резко вниз. Какие выводы мы можем сделать из этого?
Последняя цена на данный момент 1,0820 пунктов. А цена на графике закрытия была 1,0809 пунктов:
Она выросла на 19 пунктов. Ничего в данном случае страшного не было бы. Но в дни, когда бывают ГЭПы, вы бы почувствовали значительную разницу в цене. Причем узнали бы это заранее и были бы к этому готовы.Аналогично мы можем открыть график любой валютной пары.
Давайте откроем GBP/USD:
По сравнению с пятницей фунт упал. Котировки на закрытие недели составили 1,4935 пунктов, а последняя цена в пятницу у нас была 1,4960:
Разница примерно в 20 пунктов. Это конечно не сильное изменение, но зато вы знаете, что цена ушла вниз. Если у вас крупная позиция, то подобные данные могут быть значительными лично для вас.
Для чего это нужно?
Для того, чтобы заранее знать будут ли ГЭПы или нет. Понимать, изменилась ли цена или нет. И кроме того, всегда есть доля собственного любопытства, которую можно таким образом удовлетворить.
Когда смотреть данные?
Я советую просматривать их в воскресенье вечером, так как смотреть в субботу или воскресенье утром особого смысла нет. Даже если цена и будет меняться на графике, то к вечеру она может вернутся к исходному значению. Поэтому имеет смысл посмотреть заранее, будет ли ГЭП или нет в воскресенье вечером. Где-то в 22:00 по Московскому времени. После этого вы сможете знать, нужно ли вам ждать открытия рынка или же спокойно отправится спать.
