• Eliminate the necessity of making market predictions by replacing them with a strict systematic approach in an otherwise discrete trading environment
• Identify statistically significant trends and chart those trends to estimate directional probability of the next market movement
• Detect signs of a false trend line break that, in reality, could be confirmation of an ongoing trend continuation
• Choose currency pairs based primarily on their liquidity, activity, and average amplitude of fluctuations
• Select money management principles based on situations, trade systems, and current market conditions
• Understand, and profit from, the observed behavior of banks and other financial institutions that drive Forex price movements
