There are two types of trading system- technical trading system and fundamental trading system. Unlike technical trading system, which uses technical indicators and charts for determining price movements, the fundamental trading system depends on economic reports.

Demand factors (pertaining to currency) also impact a fundamental trading system.

Parameters of a fundamental trading system:

In other words, the Federal government reports on and its capacity to impact currency demand is also another aspect. It is a well known fact that economic reports do impact currency demand and the fundamental trading system ascertains the manner in, which these reports influence the trading system.

Advantages of fundamental trading system:

Disadvantage of fundamental trading system:

Another drawback is that the change in price gets "factored into currency price", prior to the release of the economic report. Even though the economic report may be as per the anticipation of the analysts, there may be anomaly in the price movement.
