Huzefa Hamid is a technical swing trader who began his career in the early 2000s with equity indices, individual stocks, and equity options, and later added currency futures and spot Forex. The common thread running through his trading is a multi-timeframe analysis of support and resistance, trends, and chart patterns.
Since 2011, he has been a Senior Analyst at DailyForex, providing commentary on markets and brokers, as well as education on trading methods. He has contributed over 150 articles to DailyForex.
Huzefa has moderated a live trading room, provided mentorship and spoken numerous times at the MoneyShow in North America.
Huzefa shares market views through online commentary, interviews, webinars and co-hosting the Pairs of Ace podcast, where he discusses chart structures, trade setups, and the mindset required for long-term trading consistency. These appearances focus on turning technical concepts into practical steps traders can apply in live markets.
Huzefa’s trading philosophy is built on price action across multiple timeframes, driven by a process-oriented approach. where each trade is one event in a long series rather than a single decisive outcome. He combines price action, key support and resistance, and chart patterns with strict risk management to structure trades. He emphasizes process and patience rather than attempting to predict every short-term move.
Islamic financial principles govern every aspect of commercial transactions, including Forex trading. As such, many Forex brokers offer “Islamic accounts,” also known as “swap-free accounts,” specifically designed to comply with Islamic finance.
Telegram has become one of the most popular platforms to receive trading signals. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of Forex signal providers on Telegram, and as you can imagine, their quality varies greatly.
Forex trading signals are real-time notifications that indicate when to buy or sell a currency pair, often including entry price, stop loss, and take profit levels. Traders use Forex signals for a variety of reasons - to help them become profitable more quickly, or because they do not have time to monitor the markets, or to supplement their own analysis.
I have seen many trading concepts and tools over the years become popular and then fade away, from indicators and strategies to software for finding profitable trades. They all seem to be trying to view the markets in a new way and promise something we haven’t seen before. However, supply-and-demand trading has been around for more than a century. It is a concept that will continue to exist for many years because it lies at the foundation of price movements, unlike indicators or other tools derived from price.
Go one step beyond the traditional engulfing candlestick reversal signal, by learning how to use a more common but little-known “smart engulfing” trade set up.
I always recommend that traders backtest their strategies. AI platforms now make this much easier by writing code and generally speeding up the process. I’ve spoken to many traders who tell me they never back-tested before AI arrived on the scene.
Unfortunately, most industry professionals estimate that more than 80% of new traders lose money before achieving consistent results, and some give up entirely before seeing profits. Is trading impossible or a scam? I don’t believe so.
Do I want someone else to trade my account, without my having to do any work? If so, I have three methods as a retail trader to get that done: PAMM accounts, MAM accounts, and copy trading. They all have the same goal: allowing a professional money manager or trader to execute trades on my behalf. I benefit from their results without having to do anything.
One of the primary decisions in investing is whether to be a passive investor, an active investor, or a combination of both. The chosen path will impact performance, the time spent managing money, and even the level of stress involved in the process. This is not a decision solely for new investors. Even experienced investors should periodically reevaluate whether their choice is still the best option to suit their requirements.
I’ll get right to the point: retail Forex is alive and kicking. It has plenty to offer retail traders of all experience levels, account sizes, and trading styles. I believe it will continue to do so for many generations to come. I will lay out my case for why I believe all traders should consider trading Forex.
Artificial Intelligence has now entered retail trading with publicly available AI tools. Traders can use AI tools to save time, replace coding skills, or discover new trading ideas. This is an excellent development for independent day traders, as it suddenly opens the door to a whole new world of analysis and trading that previously required specialized programming, knowledge, or computing power, usually available only to institutional traders.
Copy trading is more popular than ever amongst new and experienced traders because it has the potential to fast-track the path to achieving trading profits. The focus of this article is twofold: firstly, to understand how copy trading works, and secondly, to identify the conditions necessary for it to align with Islamic financial principles and be halal.
