Money Management Made Simple
Proper forex money management is criticalto your success with Forex Sailing, or any type of online forex trading.
Even if you’re a great trader, you need to use money management to methodically grow your online forex trading account. Awhile ago I posted how you could lose money on a profitable series of trades!

This Forex Sailing video lesson contains a recent example of an 800+ pip movement in the EUR/USD that only took 6 days to sail!
What’s funny is that this trade just completed. I wasn’t looking for a “perfect example,” yet the most recent one was truly a “perfect example” of a successful Forex Sailing trading opportunity.
Even if you got into this one late, it would have been good for at least 650 pips!
Amazing!!!

Forex Sailing Video #4
Video #4 is broken into 2 parts since youtube limits videos to 10 minutes each. I wanted this lesson to fully explain what we’re looking at for a Forex Sailing opportunity. I explain how the theory applies to the price charts. I also explain some of the things that may go through your mind when you’re thinking about making a trade.

Can You Find this Trade?
I want to challenge you to find this trade. In the video I mention that it started on May 9th on the 4-hour charts for the EUR/USD. The trade lasted until the 15th. Can you open your charts and find this trade? Do you get different numbers (it’s ok, everyone’s numbers will be different)? If you really want to learn online forex trading, then try to see this trade on the charts for yourself!

With all of the Forex Sailing lessons being taught, you need to make a lot of calculations. To make life easier for you, I’ve created a fibonacci calculator specifically for Forex Sailing.
The calculator below is meant to be used with the Forex Sailing (swing trading) video course, but will also be used for Forex Surfing (daytrading).
Here is a quick list of previous Forex Sailing videos:
It’s pretty simple. There are two sheets in the spreadsheet file.
The first sheet is called “Upswing” and has 2 pictures:
A2-wave fibonacci pattern for trading the second wave
A 3-wave fibonacci patternfor trading the third wave
For Uptrending Trades, fill in the numbers in the green boxes, and it automatically tells you your buy, stop & limit prices.
The first sheet is called “Downswing” and has 2 pictures:
A2-wave fibonacci pattern for trading the second wave
A 3-wave fibonacci pattern for trading the third wave
For Downtrending Trades, fill in the numbers in the red boxes, and it automatically tells you your sell, stop & limit prices.
Using the calculators should be pretty self-explanatory. If you haven’t used a spreadsheet program before, you may want to wait until the next Forex Sailing video (#4), where I’ll show you examples of how to find Forex Sailing trades. I’ll be using the calculator in the video, so you should be able to use it easily after watching that video
The Calculator Also teaches you Forex Sailing
A cool feature of the calculator spreadsheets above are that they actually help you learn Forex Sailing. When you enter the prices you know, it gives you the projection on a picture of your trade! It uses the same picture that is used in the Forex Sailing videos (see below):
