The Omicron Forex Trading Manual is a literate and focused explanation for non-specialists of Forex strategies for automated (algorithmic) trading using software routines developed by Omicron Forex.
The manual is also a guide to the essential general requirements of Forex trading which all traders must master. These include the ability to think in probabilities, to maintain discipline (which the automated strategies are designed to assist with) and master the psychology of Forex Trading. The manual improves the Forex trading learning process. It shows how discipline can be maintained. It also explains how the software does back-testing and it demonstrates why algorithms are important.
You need automation in your Forex trading to:*Significantly improve the Forex trading learning process. *Carry out research and do back-testing. *Help you impose discipline and appreciate the need for it. *Allow for risk reduction through diversification in currency pairs, which would be onerous and error prone if attempted manually. *Take over certain repetitive functions that are more appropriate for computers to handle.
You do not want to use automation in your Forex trading to:*”Set and forget” and leave to run unsupervised on a live account. This way lies potential disaster. The Omicron Forex Trading Manual contains an introduction to the automated strategies and does not include the software routines themselves.
The Maker’s Name editorial reviews
Kirkus Reviews category: THRILLER
Seamus McKenna’s primary qualification is in Civil Engineering. He holds an MBA from Trinity College Dublin, and an MA in Creative Writing from Dublin City University (DCU)
He’s been a reader from the youngest age. In earlier years books such as Fear of Flying by Erica Jong, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M. Pirsig, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and Robinson by Muriel Spark, practically everything that Graham Greene ever wrote, John McGahern’s major works, The Feast by Margaret Kennedy, White Tiger by Aravind Adiga, and Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh made lasting impressions.
His novel, The Maker’s Name, was published in 2024. He was thrilled when Kirkus Reviews recommended it to readers, saying, inter alia,: “McKenna skillfully weaves together a story of one family through several decades… This is an engaging, fast-paced story filled with treachery, backstabbing, and blind ambition … The narrative moves quickly and smoothly while managing to carefully construct the foundation for the brothers’ rivalry.”
He’s been having his letters and articles published in The Irish Times and other publications since 1978.
On 21st July 2024 he broadcast his short-form piece “Chickens, Hurling and a Famous Bootmaker” on RTE Radio 1’s Sunday Miscellany (New writing for radio).
He lives in Maynooth with his long-suffering but supportive wife, Marilyn. They have a son and a daughter, two granddaughters and two grandsons.
