Frequently Asked Questions
Is fundamental or technical analysis better for forex?
Neither alone is sufficient — the best forex traders use both. Fundamentals set the directional bias, technicals provide entry/exit timing. Tradyom by Rami Alame integrates both approaches in every forex course.
How do I stay updated on central bank decisions?
Follow an economic calendar (Tradyom, ForexFactory, Investing.com), watch central bank press conferences, and read meeting minutes. Key events include FOMC (Fed), ECB meetings, BOE meetings, and BOJ announcements.
