In Forex trading as in all other speculative activities in the capital markets there is a major problem that all, new and experienced traders, will face every time they open their forex trading stations. This is, how to predict the behavior of the Forex market over time in order to make the highest amount of profits and with the less risk possible.

You can draw some useful parallels between running a business and Day Trading, Forex or Currencies trading. For instance, most successful businesses keep statistics on everything from their conversion rate, to their average dollar sale, to the number of people that come in the door. Businesses do this to keep on top of how they are doing on a day to day basis and businesses must first take score before begining to improve on that score. Using a Day Trading, Forex or Currencies back testing plan in your trading works exactly the same way.
