Historical Foreign Exchange Rates
Looking at the historical foreign exchange rates can be interesting for Forex traders. Looking at the past can be a good way to predict what will happen in the future. Here are a few things to consider about the foreign currency exchange rate.
Why It's Important
Foreign exchange currency rates are important to those of us who trade in the Forex market because of the valuable information that they can provide. Many Forex traders rely on technical indicators to make decisions when trading the market. These technical indicators attempt to find patterns in the market and help you figure out the best time to trade.
Obviously, these patterns would not be evident if we didn't have some history to go off of.
This historical data is also important when testing out a new trading strategy. If you're using an expert advisor to trade, you can run a backtest on historical data to see how the robot would have performed in the market. While backtest results are not as valuable as a forward test, they can be beneficial. If your expert advisor can't even make any money on a backtest, you can feel pretty confident it won't do that well in live market conditions. In Forex, foreign exchange rate history is essential so that you can figure out what the best course of action is in the future.
