If you have a simple forex trading strategy that is very easy to understand kindly share it please. No commercial products.
Answer
Asking people for a simple Forex strategy is like asking people if they have a simple method for playing poker that will allow you to win playing poker experts. There is no simple Forex strategy that works.
Forex is what we call a "zero sum" game. You are making a bet with someone else about whether a currency will rise or fall. For every winner there has to be a loser. If you are smarter than the average player, you may make money. If you are dumber than the average player, you are likely to lose money. Most of the people making the "bets" in Forex are highly trained professionals at banks and other institutions. You are unlikely to beat them at this game using a "simple" strategy.
Actually Forex is not quite a zero sum game. It's a slightly negative sum game as the Forex broker takes a small percentage each time in the spread. It's a small amount but over a hundred trades, it ends up being a considerable amount of money. So the average player is likely to lose money, and remember the average player is a highly trained professional and probably smarter than you.
There is a lot of luck in Forex, and if you play it, you will have some periods of time where you make money. This is usually because you are having a lucky streak, not because you have suddenly become an expert Forex player. However, most people are unwilling to admit their success is due to luck. They become convinced they have a system that works, and lose a lot of money trying to refine it.
Further complicating the problem is the large number of Forex scams on the internet. Most Forex websites are of questionable honesty. You will find many people on the Internet that claim they made a lot of money using Forex. They are usually liars trying to make money. They will say: "Go to Forexcrap . com/q2347." The "q2347" is a signal to the Forexcrap site that you are being referred to them by "q2347." If they sell something to you, "q2347" gets a kickback. These coded signals can be hidden by different methods in the link. Other people will refer you to their own private website or blog for the purpose of trying to get money off you.
I would recommend not trying to do Forex at all, unless you are a trained professional. It's like playing poker with people better than you, with the house constantly taking a small percentage from the pot.

What is the best Forex trading strategy?

I want to know your Forex strategy, when to buy, when to sell, when to wait.
Answer
You're in for a big, rude surprise..... there is no such thing. Day Trading Forex, Stocks etc can take 3-5 years to master.... assuming you're not one of the 95% that fail within the first year.
To believe someone could pass this type of information on to you via Yahoo Answers means you've got a lot to learn. Trading is an art & a science. Two of the most important factors are psychology and trading money management. Technical Analysis is less than 50% of the "formula".
Two of the most well known FX Traders wrote a book titled;
Millionaire Traders
This book by Kathy Lein & Boris Schlossberg will be the start of many books you'll need to read...... Start here... so you at least get a sense of what you're up against.
