Trade Indices and Forex Together: 2026 Strategy & Tools
The trading environment has changed greatly in the past few years. Instead of being able to sit on one pair of currencies and disregard the rest of the world, gone are those days. The relationship of the currency market and the global equities is closer than ever. Having worked as a trader, peering at the charts on the first or second day of the week at some of their most allocated hours in Asia, I have learned that I did not work harder, but smarter to achieve my best performance. In particular, the combination of trading indices and forex enabled me to hedge my risks and identify trends before they really happened. You are not only looking at price action when you are trading indices and forex, but you are looking at the very heartbeat of the international economy.
