High-Frequency Trading Computers Compete For Shortest Cable Length

2009-10-01T12:21:00.003+07:00

What, you think it's noteworthy that traders want to locate their computers to have proximity to the exchange? Ha!

Even within the data center geography matters.

FT: Robert Greifeld, chief executive of NYSE rival Nasdaq OMX, said in a recent FT video interview he expected the SEC to regulate co-location. “That means that every one of our customers has equal access to the data centre, every single one of our customers pays the same rate; we have a rate card available to our customers,” he said.

Mr Greifeld said there might have to be measures to ensure speeds within the co-location facilities were the same. “We might have to give everybody the same length cable, believe it or not,” he said.

Flash Trading - SEC Moves To Ban Freshly Discovered 'Flash Trading'

2009-08-05T14:48:00.001+07:00

Remember that fake-fad of the early part of this century (at least in the U.S.), "flash mobs?"

Well, Wall Street has been practicing something called "flash trading," a computer-aided form of stock trading that recently got noticed thanks to a high-profile and somewhat damaging story in the New York Times, which you can read by clicking here.

There are two elements to this: high-frequency trading and flash trading.

Every big Wall Street firm does high-frequency trading. Super-fast computers use sophisticated algorithms to trade millions of shares of stock in a matter of seconds all day long, to make big profits out of small moves in huge volumes of stock.

Think about it like this: If a share of Stock X moves from $25 to $25.01 and back again to $25 in one second of normal trading, that's only one penny of profit realized during that one second of that stock's life. No human being can or will make money off that.

But a computer program can, if, for instance, it is programmed to buy 300,000 shares of Stock X at $25 and sell it at $25.01, even if that happens over only one second. Then do it again, and again and again, throughout the entire day. You can see how the arbitrage math adds up. Further, high-speed trading puts liquidity in the markets, which is a good thing.

What we're talking about here is special kind of high-frequency trading, called flash trading, and the reason it's on the hot seat is because it may be unfair to all traders.

In flash trading, some members of some exchanges -- including Nasdaq, Direct Edge and BATS -- get a look at buy and sell information a millisecond before it becomes available to the public.

Normally, this wouldn't make any difference. But when you have computers capable of making millions of computations in the span of a millisecond, it could mean millions of dollars.

Anyone can see how this is tacitly unfair: You have to have access to a super-computer to be a flash-trader. If you don't, you're at a disadvantage.

"In a pre-supercomputer era, specialist traders or market makers could get an early peek at prices, but they were also compelled to trade in a way that would benefit the markets as a whole—sometimes even taking a loss that they'd have to make up in the future. [High-frequency traders] have no such strictures, and that's what worries some people," writes Martha C. Wright in Slate's Big Money today.

Which is why SEC chairman Mary Schapiro said today that she has "asked the staff for an approach that can be quickly implemented to eliminate the inequity that results from flash orders."

Truth is, flash orders are a speck on the trading landscape. They made up only 2.4 percent of all U.S. shares traded in June.

But the money and technology sure matter to the big traders. A former Goldman Sachs computer programmer who left with some code he shouldn't have was recently arrested. The take on this is that the code was used for high-frequency trading.

Goldman's second-quarter earnings, reported earlier this month, zoomed up 33 percent compared to the same period last year. The firm attributed the profits -- amid a recession -- to increased trading revenue.

Further, and probably more importantly, this is an image issue: The SEC failed to catch Bernie Madoff. Schapiro wants to look like the new sheriff in town. Wall Street traders are seen as a bunch of guys who will find their way around any rule or regulation. Shutting down flash trading may not ding the markets that much, but it will be seen as a blow for the little guy.

Forex Chart Mistakes 6 Common Ones That Will See You Lose!

2009-07-09T11:22:00.000+07:00

Forex charts are an excellent way to make money yet most traders have no idea on how to use them correctly and 90% of traders lose. Here we will outline 6 common mistakes traders make with forex technical analysis and if you make ANY of them you will lose to.

1. Using Science

Many novice traders make the mistake of thinking that forex prices move to scientific law - stand up the devotees of Gann, Elliot and Fibonacci - but of course they don't. If they did then we would all know the price in advance and there would be no market - period.

These traders are naive or lazy - what they need to understand is trading is a game of odds not certainties.

Leave the scientific theories to the far out investment crowd and dreamers and concentrate on the reality of making money - and that means trading the odds.

2. Trying to Predict

Even traders who don't use scientific forex trading strategies try and predict.

For example, they see prices dip toward support and buy - but this is hoping and guessing and they are going to get a lesson.

If you want to win you wait for the test of support and pfirs to move away from the level supported by momentum.

If you don't know what momentum oscillators are now is the time to learn and make them an essential part of your forex education - if you don't trade with price momentum, you are simply guaranteed to lose.

Look up our other articles for further details - you must trade with momentum indicators to get the odds in your favour.

3. Using invalid data

Day traders! All volatility is random in daily time frames and prices can and do go anywhere so you can't get the odds in your favour and you will lose.

More novice forex traders use forex day trading systems than any other method and it's the best way to lose money - Don't try it.

4. Using Indicators The Wrong Way

How many times have I seen people buy dips to a moving average? Loads of times and it's a guaranteed way to lose money - it's a lagging indicator!

Another great one is - traders using outer Bollinger bands to set stops - that's not what it should be used for, it's a gauge of volatility.

These are just two examples - but there are many more - always use indicators for what they are supposed to be used for.

5. Being To Complicated

Many traders think the more the better and try and use loads of indicators and complicated equations in their currency trading system.

Their wrong!

Simple systems using support, resistance and a few momentum indicators are all you need to succeed.

Why?

Because - simple systems are more robust and less likely to break in the brutal world of trading.

You don't get paid for being clever in forex trading; you get paid for being right - so keep it simple.

6. Being too Subjective

The more objective you're trading, the more likely you are to stay disciplined and keep your emotions out of trading.

Avoid using indicators that are subjective such as, cycles etc and stick with objective rules.

Finally ...

Using forex charts is easy and quick and you can soon be enjoying currency trading success, so long as you use them the right way.

When you use forex charts you are a bit like a ships captain - you can use them to navigate correctly but if you don't ,then just like the captain at sea who makes errors the market will drown you and your equity.

Automated Forex Trading

2009-07-09T11:21:00.000+07:00

Long gone is the time when only banks and private institutions could trade the Forex market. Now, individuals have access to trade their own money, and lots of it. The exchange of foreign currencies has since been open to private investors, central banks like Bank of America, and several countries. But now with the introduction of the Expert Advisor trading systems, the smaller trader can now automate their trades like the big companies do.

The systems allow the user to set their own parameters and trading guidelines. The program consists of software that has been develeoped for a specific type of trading style, not everyone trades the same. Some spot trade, some trade big, some hedge and so on and so forth. The developers of these types of software take into consideration any nuances of Forex trading as well as being aware that the market is trading 24 hours a day, even during weekends.

Without these types of systems in place, the trader would have to monitor the pair that is being trades on a constant basis along with monitoring opening and closing times which is almost impossible to keep up with. By using the Expert advisors a trader can setup trading signals to make life a bit easier such as a type of order, stop loss, trade entry, news tickers etc.

Some of the key benefits of using an automated trading system is that it gives the trader full control, but cuts out the emotional bond a trader has with his money...making the temptation to trade on a whim a lot less likely. This takes the guesswork out of trading if the trader implements the right trading signals for this trading style.

The EA is a mathematical algorythm and it performs solely on formulas, so if the EA doesnt perform like it should it can be changed, augmented and tweaked until the trader finds the recipe for success that they are looking for. Then, this process is repeated constantly to achieve a money making strategy.

Trading also involves the trends of the market, be it long-term or short-term. These trends play a big role in the amount of trades that a trader is involved in. The EA, if setup correctly, will take these trends in-stride and make the trades accordingly, minimizing the drawdown or losing trades. Using historical data, traders can analyze and test their trading theories and strategies, some EA's have a built-in function to record such data.

Almost every expert advisor system being developed now is made using the MetaTrader 4 platform since it provides reliable historical data that you can download from their site or any other, multilanguage support, solid and user-friendly interface.

Automated expert advisors are becoming the tool of choice for many traders and companies around the globe, most are free, but the ones that really rake in the money you have to pay for. You get what you pay for.

Forex Brokers - The Perfect Service for Novice Traders

2009-07-06T11:49:00.000+07:00

If you are considering trading with a forex broker, here is news of a service that is great for seeing if you have what it takes and is much more realistic than a demo account. If you are interested in trading and worried about the risk, then these accounts look a great way to get started.

A protected account introduces potential traders to the lucrative world of currency trading - but unlike a demo account, allows them to feel what trading is really like with limited risk.

For a set period they get to trade as much as they like with a set leverage and can even trade with a negative balance at the end of the set period - any profits the trader keeps any losses the broker covers.

Low Initial Deposit

These accounts can be traded with a small amount and the only risk is the initial deposit and unlike a real trading account, if you go debit you still can trade for the period the account is set up for.

Leverage and Low Risk

At any point during the two-week period, a trader may control up to 100 times his initial deposit, regardless of the actual balance in the Protected Account. The trader may make as many trades as desired, 24 hours a day, using any currency pair.

At The End of The Period - clients Takes Any Profits Broker Covers Any Losses.

Positions are closed automatically at the end of a set period normally after two weeks.

If there is a positive balance, it will be transferred to the forex trader's regular account. If there is a negative balance, the broker covers it.

Getting the Feel Of Trading With Limited Risk

A regular demo account, though a very useful tool, for learning a trading platform or the basics of trading does not simulate the feeling of trading real money.

A Protected Account acts as a step up between a demo account and a real one, providing an authentic trading experience, with managed risk which many traders want, so they can test their skills before opening a full trading account.

Any trader will tell you that trading with money on the line is totally different to trading a demo account, as your emotions are involved, discipline needs to be kept and this is why 90% of traders who win with a demo account lose real time. A protected account lets traders feel what its like to trade for real, with a small risk, unlimited trades and limited risk in the period which is a great way to see if currency trading is for you.

Forex Online Broker Trading

2009-06-26T11:48:00.000+07:00

Finding a good Forex online broker trading service can be an extremely difficult task, but is essential if you want to ensure that you make as much profit as possible from your trades. Hiring the wrong company could lead to devastating results as if you were actually doing the trading on your own without any training or assistance.

When looking for any firm to assist you with your Forex trading, you should be extremely diligent and carry out as much research as possible with regard to those you would like to handle your investment portfolio.

Look for those firms which will provide you with details of those clients who are willing to provide information with regards to their services and how successful they have been. A reputable firm will have plenty of client testimonials which will indicate to you that they are have a strong knowledge and background relating to this type of trading. However these testimonials should not be used as the way of making a decision in relation to which firm you are going to be using.

Also another way of testing out the reliability of any firm that is providing services for people to trade Forex online is the amount of information that they make available to their clients. Also what sorts of literature and any training that they are willing to provide to those who become clients with them.

So the more that a Forex broker trading firm is willing to do for you then this will then provide you with a way to better understand Forex trading systems and so will make you in to a much more competent trader yourself.

A great way of searching out a reputable and good brokerage firm is through friends and family. Ask them if they can suggest anyone and if they do you will still need to carry out your own investigations with regards to their qualifications and knowledge base before you commit to any type of formal agreement with them.

Finally another thing you will need to consider when looking for a good Forex online broker trading firm is to see what margin of return they are offering to their clients. Avoid those that are offering very low margins of return. It is important to remember that these people are providing a service to their customers and if you find that the firms you are considering are not returning your calls within a reasonable amount of time then it is best that you carry on searching for the ones that will.

A Quick Forex Guide For Traders

2009-06-26T07:47:00.000+07:00

It is better to evaluate some points that can be helpful for your trading business. As majority of the dealers are either new to the business or no trading background and they have think it is a child’s play to make money but eventually they end up loosing their hard earned cash. First and foremost making money is not an easy job. Like every other field of life hard work is required to earn money. Endurance, order, and dedication are needed to be aware of the Forex market.

So after watching all those advertisements now you have made your mind to trade the Forex market. You probably might be thinking that this the right moment and to earn money and your wait is over. You have a great chance now and nobody is going to guide you the way I am going to. Every particular deal is done on some rules which are known as Trading System. These rules of the market work as deciding factors as when to buy little and earn maximum profit.

It is very important to follow a personal system and if you follow that system it is definite that you will earn profits. A system can be build upon technical indicators, or which is known as mechanical system, or it can be founded on your past skills, or optional method. It is better to adopt mechanical system rather than the optional methods as it is not beneficiary for the beginner Forex trader. And after some time you can easily make out which is the best for you and which is not.

Whatever system you adopt it should be first tested on a demo basis. Majority of the Forex agents provide demo account which has virtual currency. As it is a demo account you can test your trading methods because there is no cash involved in it. If you feel that this method is working then only you will achieve profits. It is also very important to decide the time period of the method you are adopting, but in order to get rewarding results you should continue with the opted system. You have to be honest to yourself as you have to be very careful what message your system is projecting or else you might face some difficulties.

You might be thinking that now that you have received positive results on the demo account you might be thinking to go full. But in real terms there is a huge difference between a demo and a real account. Human emotions play a very important role like anger or greed. It does not matter what are you trading whether it is bonds, or grains it bears a psychological effect on the personal decision by the dealer. These human feelings play an important role in the decision making and it differentiates the rewarding traders from the rest.

The next step is to compare all the outcome of all the methods adopted before. Trading a real account with little funds is the need of the next step. There are agents offer partial lot trading. You have the liberty to trade whatever amount and it also includes cents also. The emotions come into play only in a situation where real money gets involved. Now it is an important stage where you can test your system and are you able to trade. It has to be taken care of that emotions vary according to the systems. If you get the effects identical to the demo account then only you can proceed further. And if it doesn’t works then you might have to introduce a new system and probably new system won’t suit you. If you succeed in getting positive results to your credit on this stage then there is a probability that you can create the same effects in the next one. And if you don’t succeed in doing it then you are not able to proceed to the next level. It is very important to do the things honestly and accurate.

And for the last stage you get to trade in a real account with adequate funds. In this stage if you have surpassed the prior stages then you have an opportunity to make it. All you need is to have a positive attitude and an accurate planning. If you effectively clear all your prior stages then you can’t fail at this stage. Trading is not easy as it needs endurance, restraint, hard work, and knowledge etc. If you follow the Forex course then you will definitely get positive results. It is very important to be honest with yourself for every result you get and probably you will need for expert advice to develop the systems.

Things You Should Know About Forex Trading

2009-06-26T03:46:00.000+07:00

There are some questions that how to make money by trading the Forex market? What is the time period in which one becomes able to make living trading Forex market? These two points and other aspects are discussed in the article. Forex market trading has so many advantages as compared to the other fiscal markets and some are- 24hrs market, better execution, and superior liquidity etc. Dealers and depositors see Forex market as a major opening with all these advantages. So, it does not mean that making money trading the Forex market.

The Forex market experts are of the view that ninety percent of the dealers simply loose their money out here, five percent reach a situation of break even and five percent receive significant outcome. Trading is not an easy task and to master any venture is also not easy. Not in my view as there are musicians, writers and businessmen and their success ratio is identical. There are others who are not able to make it to the top.

Keeping the fact in mind it is not easy to produce constant lucrative outcome, but what it does is it raises one question that that why some of the dealers succeed in getting constant lucrative results and some are not able to in the Forex market? There are no fixed steps or methods that can be easily followed to get the significant results. The only fact that is known is that those who make it to the top their thoughts are different. They are not the ones who will do the same as others do.

Few points that differentiates the top dealers from the rest:

Education: The professionals are intellectuals in their field and they are aware of every single characteristic of the trading. These intellectuals have the best knowledge of their field and they learn new things from every trade. They work in the Forex market with a more humble attitude or else the market will get them wrong.

The organization of Forex trading: Those who are professional of Forex trading they have a unique working method. They thoroughly follow the guidelines as they know that the trade that functionalize on their methods gets a decent success rate.

Cost Factor: Price factor is also included in the trading method as they know that the price factor is really important factor.

Money Organization: The dealers have to take an extra care of the damages as they cannot trade without cash in your account.

Behavior of the trade: These professionals are also aware of what will be the behavior and choices those can be effective for the decisions taken by the dealers. They are aware of the fact that not everybody can be successful.

These elements are really essential for the success of the dealers of the Forex. It is admitted that it is not easy to earn money trading Forex market but it is not out of reach either. Some of the essential elements those are also discussed for the better performance of the Forex dealers. The main question how to achieve constant success in Forex market? It also varies from dealer to dealer, some dealers can get constant results in short time period and some are not able to achieve results in many years. It is worth mentioning that achieving constant success is a matter of patience and it will come with the changing time it is something that you have to earn it.

Getting positive and rewarding results is not an easy task and probably will take years to achieve constant success. There are factors those are very important for every trader that could assist him in achieving a speedy success- the traders should have trading system, should be aware of the market behavior, have significant knowledge, religiously following the trading methods, and planning for the conducting the trade.

Incorporating Price Action Into a Forex Trading System

2009-06-25T22:45:00.000+07:00

For the past couple of years Forex market has become very famous. It is a common question that how many dealers make it in the Forex trading. Sadly only fiver percent are able to make it. One point can be that Forex dealers are not aware of the right area to concentrate their focus, in which direction and what decisions have to be taken. Price factor plays an important factor which is not given much importance by the Forex dealers.

Technical indicators comprises of the majority of the Forex trading methods such as moving average, overbought/oversold state in an oscillator, crossover etc. The question arises that what are indicators? They are just a sequence of data points that are planned in a chart and these points are obtained from mathematical methods which are used for the price for any currency. In simple terms it is a chart of price planned in a such a way that we are also introduced to other price also.

As a matter of fact that the majority of the readings acquired are totally derived from the price action. For example a long MA crossover signal the price has increased considerably to make the shorter period MA cross the long period MA producing a major signal. It is generally believed that MA crossover is the reason behind the increased price which is not a genuine reason as MA crossover signal appeared as the price rise. What I am trying to say is that eventually it is the price factor that will decide the functioning of the indicator and the outcome can be decided on any decision trading.

If we try to figure out the trading outcome derived from technical indicators without including the price factor then you cannot get positive effects. For instance, a long signal produced by the MA crosses with the advancement of the market reaches to its resistance stage. There is no point of making use of the signal where the price all of a sudden makes a comeback from that important stage. The price factor justifies that the market is not yet ready to experience an increase. In this situation the market will definitely crash down ignoring MA crossover.

Technical indicators are very essential feature of the trading. These assist us to see all those state those are sometimes difficult by only watching price factor. The involvement of the price factor in the Forex trading methods certainly will turn the difficulties in our support and will assist in increasing the trade.

The question is how to prepare an accurate Forex trading method?

First and foremost, it is very important to choose a trading system that matches your individuality so that you can easily follow it. The requirements and objectives are different for every trader and no system is complete in itself. It is you who have to take the decision of which style and technical indicators to adopt till the time you find the appropriate one. It is very important to know about what technical indicator you are using.

The second step is to add in the price factor to the system that you have adopted. It is beneficial for you as it will guide you to take the long signals if the price factor informs that if the market it going to rise or not and taking short signals just in case the market is decreasing. Thirdly it is very essential to follow the method religiously you have selected for your Forex trading. It is recommended to try out first on a demo account then moving to the small accounts and in the end when you are comfortable in using and operating then shift it to the real account.

A Beginner's Introduction to the Currency Markets

2009-06-25T16:43:00.000+07:00

The international Forex market is used by traders all over the world to trade one currency against another. The professionals refer to it as foreign currency exchange, more commonly referred to by the rest of us as Forex or FX trading. The market covers the entire planet, and has no specific central exchange, unlike all the other financial markets you can think of. It is also the biggest market in the world - almost 2 trillion dollars changes hands daily (that's an awful lot of zeros))

Why do we need a Currency Exchange? Well, An international currency exchange is necessary in many situations:-

Consumers will come into contact with a currency exchange when they travel overseas. They go to the bank or their local currency exchange bureau to convert one currency (usually their own currency) into another (the currency of the country they intend to travel to) so they can buy goods or services in that country. Consumers often purchase goods in a foreign country or over the Internet using their credit cards. They will find that the amount they paid in the foreign currency will have been converted to their local currency by their credit card company, and will appear on their credit card statement. Although each such currency exchange is relatively small, the aggregation of all the millions of such transactions every day is very significant.

Businesses must convert currencies when they conduct business outside their own country. For example, if they export goods to another country and receive payment in that country's currency, the payment must be converted back to their own home currency. If they import goods or services, then businesses will often have to pay in a foreign currency, which requires them to first convert their local currency into a foreign currency. Big companies convert huge amounts of currency every year, often tens of billions of dollars. The timing of these transactions can have a huge effect on their balance sheet and overall profits.

Commercial and Investment Banks trade currencies to support their banking. These same institutions also participate in the currency market for hedging and trading purposes.

Governments and central banks trade currencies in attempts to improve national trading conditions or in attempts to manipulate or adjust economic or financial imbalances. Although they do not trade for speculative reasons they are often very profitable, since they generally trade on a medium to long-term basis.

Investors and/or speculators (traders) require currency exchange whenever they trade a foreign investment, whether it is in equities, bonds, bank deposits, or real estate. If a Swiss investor buys shares in an American company on the NASDAQ exchange, he must pay for the shares in U.S. Dollars. He'll probably have to convert Swiss francs to U.S. Dollars to complete the deal. Similarly, an English real estate investor selling a New York property will need to convert the proceeds of the sale from U.S. Dollars to British Pounds.

Because the value of one currency continuously varies against the other currencies, investors and speculators can directly trade these currencies in order to profit from their movements. For example, if an English investor forms the opinion that the Japanese economy is strengthening and expects the Yen to appreciate in value (i.e., go up relative to other currencies including the pound), then he may want to buy Japanese Yen, taking what is referred to as a long position (expecting a rise). Similarly, if an American investor believes that the Euro is about to go down, he may sell the Euro to take a short position (expecting a decrease in value). Importantly, investors and speculators can profit whether currencies becoming stronger (by taking a long position) or become weaker (by taking a short position).

Many speculators are day traders, meaning that they set out to take advantage of regular market movements over very short time periods, often buying a currency and then selling it again very soon afterwards (sometimes in just a few seconds).

Until a few years ago this market was very difficult if not impossible to enter for the individual, because of the huge investment and very expensive facilities needed. The market was exclusively the preserve of the big banks and other huge institutions.

There has been an enormous explosion in interest in trading the Forex markets over the last three or four years, as single individuals have discovered that they can now set up and compete on equal terms with the huge trading corporations. Individuals working from home, using a desktop pc and an internet connection can purchase and download the training and expertise they need, together with the trading software and forex data feeds also required, and the be off and running - often making more money than they could ever have managed if they had been working for one of those huge corporations referred to earlier (and keeping all of it too).

Traders are attracted to currency trading for many reasons, including:-

the volatility of the market, which gives them regular opportunities to earn money.

the enormous liquidity of the currency markets. Unlike most other markets, there is so much money in the system at any one time that it is almost impossible to imagine a situation where you could not trade

the currency exchanges are open 24 hours a day. From Monday to Friday, 24 hours per day, the market is active and money can be made.

currencies can now be traded with no brokerage charges. Nowadays an account with a spread trader can be set up and funded in seconds, and the only charge is the spread or difference between the buying and selling price, which can be as low as 2 pips (pip is the smallest unit traded, and you can often trade as low as one or two dollars per pip).

Very low entry costs. A newcomer can enter the market for as little as the cost of a PC, some training books, videos and software, probably one or more trading systems to get him started, and a datafeed to provide instant currency prices (good free ones are available too). Probably less than a thousand bucks for a genuine business that (if you are successful) can produce an extremely good lifestyle.

Even lower ongoing costs. No staff, no offices, no expensive travel (unless you want to). Costs are limited to broadband running cost, a little electricity, and lots of coffee.

Tax-free status. In my country at least (The UK) I pay no tax on my trading income. With tax at 40% on earned income here, this means that instead of getting just 60 bucks out of every 100 bucks I earn, I keep the lot. And this equates to around 66% extra income (60 x 1.66 = 100). Now that's an incentive!

So if you are considering trading as a way of earning an online income, I say come on in and join me. And if you think that maybe you are not cut out for this sort of thing - no maths qualifications, no skill with numbers, I say nonsense!

It will cost you very little to find out whether you are cut out for the trading lifestyle or not, certainly far less than getting into internet marketing or setting up an offline business only to find you don't like it or can't cope. You could pleasantly surprise yourself!

Some of the best traders I know are totally average, totally self-taught people who didn't think for a single second that they could cope with this sort of thing. Oh, and a lot of them are women!

5 Tips to Find Your Forex Trading Broker

2009-06-23T15:45:00.000+07:00

It is not so straightforward to find a forex trading broker that can meet all your needs. There is no perfect dealer. Maybe as long as your broker can meet your criteria, they are considered "perfect" to you. With more than 100 trading platforms online, going through each broker one by one can be confusing if you do not know what to look out for in a reliable, professional and reasonable forex trading broker. If you are reading this, you just found yourself some golden tips here.

By now, perhaps you are fully aware that the foreign exchange market
is not regulated by any central body. Since this is so, it can be subject to fraudulent or less than ethical and professional practices by some dealers. Read the tips below and make sure you apply them and you can prevent falling into scams and end up with a professional forex trading broker you can work with for a long time to come.

1. Always request for references that you can speak with.

2. While the currency market is not controlled by a central body, each country may have its own regulatory body or watchdog organization to exercise certain control over the business activities of these forex trading brokers. If the dealer is based in the US, do a check at Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and National Futures Association (NFA) to see if the dealer is registered with these two organizations. Find out if there is any bad report or complaints against your prospect.

3. Make a comparison of the account specifics of each prospect. You should compare the minimum opening deposit, spreads, leverage, commission charges and more. Always be sure to ask the prospect if there are any other charges other than what was shown on their websites. They are obliged to inform you. This step is helpful as not all brokers who say they offer the lowest rates on their websites are truly honest about it.

4. An easy to navigate trading platform is important especially if this is the first time you are trading currency. This is why it seems puzzling why some trading platforms that are created are so difficult to use. If the prospect offers a demo account, sign up with them.

5. Requoting can really cost you big time. While some brokers entice you with the "lowest bid/ask spreads and commissions", they may practise requoting. This means that when you carry out a buy/sell order for a currency pair, the price you see is not what you get. In short, you are charged at higher prices if you buy, and at lower prices if you sell. Either way, the odds are against you.

The difference can be more than 7 pips! Requoting is not uncommon and does happen but it should not be too frequent. It is hard to find a broker which does not requote so when you find one, grab it! This forex trading dealer is worth considering.

Well, now you are in a better position to find an ideal broker to work with. Be adventurous and start your search now. While forex trading carries risks, it is also a place where people make their riches. Find out from my website which forex trading broker has consistently amazed their users with excellent service and a "no requoting" policy. Also pick up more powerful tips on currency trading.

Trading Discipline - its The Key to Huge Profits acquire it the Easy Way

2009-06-09T14:16:00.000+07:00

If you read any material from the great traders you will hear them tell you that discipline is the key to forex profits. If you don't have it - you won't win and most of the 95% that lose fail to acquire it.

This trading tip is all about acquiring it the easy way and trading for huge profits.

A simple equation for market success is:

A logical trading system + Understanding = Confidence = Discipline

Sounds simple? It is - but most traders fail to understand it and its significance.

Lets look at some common mistakes made by forex traders.

Most new traders use illogical systems.

For example, they try and day trade and that's a guaranteed way to lose as the logic is ill founded. Other think you need to predict to win but you cant predict what will happen in the future - again the logic is wrong.

Other fail to understand how and why their trading system works.

They simply follow a guru or mentor and expect to win with no losing periods.

In the real world, they get some losses, they don't understand why and confidence goes and discipline breaks down.

Others think the cleverer they are and the more computer power they have the more likely they are to win.

Again this is not true.

Computers are more powerful today than the one that Mission Control used to land man on the moon - yet the ratio of traders that lose remains the same - 95%

Don't be fooled - the key to forex trading success is not the system but the trader and his attitude; discipline is the key just as it has been since trading began.

So you can see the first building blocks are:

Get a simple logical system that can get the odds in your favour.

If you build it yourself or follow someone else you MUST know how and why it works or you will never acquire confidence in your trading system.

If you don't have confidence that it will win eventually, you won't have the discipline to follow it through losing periods - it's as simple as that.

Today traders think someone else can lead them to success.

They need to learn that no one else will make them successful - only they can make themselves a winner.

Others are duped by vendors telling them they can make a regular income or pick tops and bottoms with scientific accuracy - Rubbish! If only trading were that simple.

If all those trader claiming that they could make such great gains really could, they would be to busy trading and making millions to sell it to you.

No trading success and discipline comes from within from understanding flows confidence and from confidence flows discipline.

If you don't have the discipline to follow your method you have no method!

The above is obvious - but most traders still look for the short cut, the guru or the far out trading system that will make them instantly rich or with no effort - but they all learn a harsh lesson - a wipe out.

If you are not prepared to learn forex trading and get the right forex education don't bother do something else as you will lose.

The Good News Is:

Anyone has the potential to learn how to trade and acquire discipline but you must do your homework and understand no one else can give you confidence and discipline it comes from within.

So do your homework and learn a system you can have confidence in and discipline will follow - it really is that simple.

Survive Forex Drawdowns With A Money Management Plan

2009-06-09T12:15:00.000+07:00

It can be very tempting to whip your credit card out of your wallet in order to take advantage of a great opportunity for a trade in your top Forex trading system. However, prior to taking that credit card out, consider that without sensible money management you could empty your account faster than you realize.

No form of investment is a guaranteed money maker and Forex is no exception. In fact due to the quantity of leverage given to traders and investors in the Forex market, greed can quickly take over and all commonsense is thrown out the window. Professional investors and traders realize that many of their trades, even up to half of their trades, will not make money. The reason why they are prosperous is that they have a appropriate money management plan so when they do lose it doesn't empty their account.

In any Forex trading system, there will be a drawdown. The trouble is, we never really know when the drawdown will begin. If a Forex trading system proves it is 80% successful, that means approximately 20 out of every 100 trades won't be prosperous. If those 20 trades all happened in a row (yes, it can happen!) your investment funds could be completely emptied if you are not using sensible money management and you wouldn't be able to continue trading the system for the next 80 potentially profitable trades.

Some aggressive Forex traders claim that the best way to accumulate large profits rapidly is to risk more of your money. While this may be true, it's also the fastest way to lose all your money and should really be considered as gambling. There are a lot of stories around about those that made their first million trading Forex and then lost it. The most successful Forex traders and investors did not get rich fast, they took a slow and steady approach and learn to make money trading Forex for the long-term.

An experienced Forex trader only risks a low percentage of their trading money on each trade. The profits will not be as large as those of the aggressive trader, but when the drawdown arrives, the Forex trader practicing sensible money management will be more prepared to weather the storm.

Sure, building up capital slowly is not an exciting plan. But, you're in the Forex market to make consistent profits, not for the excitement. If you're not using sensible money management when investing and trading the Forex market, you are downright gambling. Even professionals that earn a living playing poker and other casino games use some variety of money management system. They realize that they can't win every single tournament or game they enter, so they only risk a low amount of their bankroll on each one. This allows them to bounce back much more quickly when a losing run hits.

In summary, don't let the promise of making money rapidly let all commonsense be dismissed. Trading Forex is not a way to get rich rapidly, it's an investment option that can generate consistent profits for those who practice sensible money management.

A Guide For Newbies To Forex Trading

2009-06-09T03:26:00.000+07:00

The forex markets principal function is to sustain the trading of various global currencies. Although most currencies are exchanged, albeit on a humbler scale, the bulk of trades affect only a small list of currencies, including the U.S. Dollar, Yen, Euro, Swiss Franc, Pound Sterling, Australian Dollar, and Canadian Dollar. The majority of trades on the forex market concern the U.S. Dollar with over 90% of all exchanges.

The forex market has no one centralized market in which all currency dealing occurs, but is a combination of various converse markets, each of which maintains its own rules and regulations. On account of the various time zones the major markets, which are situated in the U.S., London, and Tokyo, deal during separate times of day. Almost 70% of the trading activity goes on while the European markets are still functioning and the New York market opens. This convergence is when trading is strongest.

Because there is no centred market a particular currency does not have an individual exchange rate. Although they are usually fairly close to one another, the bid and ask rates for a currency can vary amid different geographical markets and market makers because of the over-the-counter (OTC) nature of the markets.

Each currency has an international currency code that is displayed by a trio of letters and since the price of a currency must be given in relation to another currency, it is expressed in the form XXX/YYY. The price of Euros in U.S. Dollars is written as EUR/USD, for example. The strongest currency when the pair was created is generally the first in the pair and known as the base currency, and the other currency is called the counter currency. The actual prices are displayed in decimal form and are typically rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth of a unit.

Making up the biggest marketplace in the world, the forex market deal with approximately $1.9 trillion in trades every day. Trades lasting less than a week are the norm in forex trading, which is largely a speculative, short-term market. Much more so than equities, the forex market is an exceedingly liquid market because of the many traders encompassing the globe and the very high daily turnover it.

Yet almost 75% of all trading volume comprises the top ten most active traders. Called the interbank market and comprised of international banks, the trading deals that occurs among them furnish the marketplace with bid and ask prices that are far meaner than retail clients can expect.

In 1972, at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, forex futures contracts, that are derivatives, were introduced and now make up around seven percent of the all foreign exchange volume.

Something else that has also taken hold and is another popular hedging strategy is foreign exchange options. Investors often buy these derivatives, which are contracts to purchase currency at a certain price on a future date, to counterbalance the decline in the price of a currency and any possible losses they might endure.

An additional means by which traders are capable of mitigating risk is through an exchange, in which both parties agree to switch one currency for another for a set period of time, and will then reverse the transaction after the period runs out.

The foreign exchange market is a fast-paced, international currency exchange that is without contention amid financial markets. The forex market is ensured into the future and its growth all but guaranteed because of its popularity amongst the international companies, prominent banks and financial organisations.

Beware Of the scams in Currency Trading

2009-06-09T01:23:00.000+07:00

Currency trading system is a quite daunting task to be coping with. There are certain risks involved with the forex market. Customers not aware of the risks and scams of the forex market are often defrauded by the forex market vendors. Scammers often attract customers by advertising in news papers and other different means. These advertisements boast of low-risk high-return investment but at the end of the day investors found these promises empty and only loss comes there way. Without any central currency market scams and fraud are very difficult to prove, therefore its better to avoid them.

Since there is no central currency market, it is very difficult to prove scams and frauds. There are few guidelines by CFTC forex trader should follow while trading foreign exchange. Here are them

1. Companies promising huge profits with minimal risk should be avoided. Companies guarantying no or least amount of risk are risky enough.
2. There are never any guaranteed profits in the forex market. Never rely on firms promising guaranteed profit. One should avoid schemes promising a fixed amount of return or any other guaranteed level of returns.
3. Never risk your retirement funds, life time savings or investments kept for household issues in the forex trade
.
4. Keep an eye on your investments in inters bank market. If some forex brokers claim to be engaged in such a market, be cautious and ask for full information.
5. Never trade on margin. One should understand that one can lose amounts much larger than margin amounts that one pays. One should clearly understand margins, before committing.
6. Transferring cash on the internet is highly risky. Funds can be lost forever. Avoid companies not mentioning their contact details and only asking for online transactions.
7. Members of ethnic minorities like Russian, Chinese and Indian should always beware of fraudulent companies. They should not trade with their own funds if appointed on these companies as company executives etc.
8. Before committing with any company, one should try to gather as much information can be gathered.

Forex trading is the biggest business in the world and a profitable source of home business. If forex trade is done wisely and safely the profits can cross every limit. Money management is the only required thing for successful and profitable forex trading. Just gather some knowledge about the market trends and risks and gain in the market and proceed.

Trading Psychology

2009-06-03T04:27:00.000+07:00

Trading psychology is one of the most important areas a trader must understand. Most traders often overlook this crucial area, believing that trading systems are the most important aspect of trading successfully. However, when you think about it, your beliefs about the market can have a significant effect on how you trade.

To illustrate the importance of psychology, the following is a quote from world renowned trading coach Dr Van Tharp:

“When I’ve had discussions about what’s important to trading, three areas typically come up: psychology, money management (i.e., position sizing), and system development. Most people emphasize system development and de-emphasize the other two topics. More sophisticated people suggest that all three aspects are important, but that psychology is the most important (about 60 percent), position sizing is the next most important (about 30 percent), and system development is the least important (about 10 percent).”

When it comes to trading, one of the most neglected subjects are those dealing with trading psychology. The majority of traders spend days, months and even years trying to find the right system to suit them. But having the right trading system is just a small part of what is really needed to trade forex, or any other financial market successfully. Don’t get me wrong, it is still important to find or develop a trading system that suits you, however, it is also important to have a well defined money management plan, as well as an understanding of all the psychological barriers that may affect the trader’s decisions when trading. In order to succeed in the business of trading, there must be a balance between all these important aspects of trading.

In the trading environment, when you lose a trade, the first idea that pops to mind would probably be, “There must be something wrong with my system”, or “I knew it, I shouldn’t have taken this trade” (even when your system signaled it). But sometimes we need to dig a little deeper in order to see the nature of our mistake, and then work on it accordingly. This means looking at the possible psychological biases you may have when it comes to developing and executing a trading system. This is explained in more detail below.

When it comes to trading the Forex market as well as other markets, only 5% of traders achieve the ultimate goal: to be consistent in profits. From my research I believe the main reason for this is a lack of understanding of what a trader should actually be taking into account, which could be largely attributed to their own psychological biases they have toward trading.

Psychological Biases

To best explain how trading psychology isn’t just about positive thinking, here is an example of how your psychological biases can effect your trading.

Consider a new trader that has an interest in trading the forex market. They would most likely believe that a trading system is the place to start, so they go off on the internet and search for keywords such as “forex trading system”, or “trading system”. They would also be likely to want to find a trading system that is very accurate, say around 80% + accuracy. The reason for this? Well from my research I have discovered that this way of thinking has been taught to us at a very young age mostly by the school system. School teaches us to be right 80% + of the time, and if we are not, we are considered a failure. The internet can also be blamed for this. If you were to search for anything trading system related, you would soon be bombarded with advertisements such as “System produces 90% accurate trades” or for those advertisers who are really pushing their luck: “100% wins, 250+ trades, NO losers BUY NOW!” All these advertisements cause you to believe that it is necessary to be right the majority of the time in order to succeed at trading.

Now the problem here is two fold. Firstly, their belief that a trading system is so important is not actually correct. There are other factors that are in fact more important such as, money management and psychology. And secondly there belief that they need a trading system that produces profits a very high percentage of the time is not absolutely correct either.

These are bias’s you have toward trading system development because you do not yet understand what is really involved in developing and implementing a system that actually works over time.

This is where the ‘Mathematics’ of trading system development and implementation come in. To illustrate how you do not necessarily have to have a trading system that wins 80% or more of the time, consider the following:

You have a trading system that is accurate and makes money only 50% of the time. On average you make three times as much as you loose. Let’s say your average win is 60 pips, and your average loss is only 20 pips. The following equation will work out how much you can expect to make on average:

(PW multiplied by average win of 60pips) Minus (PL multiplied by average loss of 20 pips) = 20pips.

Key: PW = the percentage of time you make money, PL is the percentage of the time you loose money.

This means you could expect to make 20 pips on average, even with a win rate of only 50%! Now it is important to keep in mind that the purpose of this article was not to explain the specifics of trading system development, nor the mathematics involved. It was to explain how your own trading psychology can have an effect on the way you trade the financial markets.

Conclusion

By understanding areas such as trading psychology, and money management at an early stage of your trading career, you will be able to develop a system that produces profits consistently, and be up there with the top 5% of traders who actually succeed in trading the financial markets.

Is there any money left in currency trading?

2009-06-02T23:25:00.000+07:00

Currency trading may be one of the most liquid forms of trading, but it is also a volatile market that requires strategy if you wish to make money. The truth is that more people make small profits in this market, while a few are highly successful. The constant change makes this form of trading exciting and with a high profit potential; however, making a fast buck in this market may not be as easy as it used to be.

What is Currency Trading?
In its basic form, currency trading, also known as "forex trading," is simply that--trading money. It involves trading one currency for another, such as U.S. dollars for the Euro. The exchange rate is known as the foreign-exchange rate, forex rate, or FX rate and is one of the largest markets in the world, trading trillions of U.S. dollars each day. Currency trading gained enormous popularity in the 1990s, and continues today. One reason this type of trading is so popular is that it can be done from a computer, twenty-four hours a day. There are fewer currencies to trade with, which makes learning the practice much easier (as opposed to learning about the many stock options available). The most commonly traded currencies are the U.S. dollar, the Japanese yen, and the British pound.

Currencies are traded in pairs. The trader buys the one that he or she believes will appreciate in value over the other. Currency fluctuates as there is demand for it. Interest rates tend to be an indication of a currency's demand. The higher a country's interest rate, the higher demand. However, countries will sometimes try to create demand for a currency by changing interest rates. The well-informed trader needs to conduct research and make educated guesses on a currency's future.

Currency Trading is Big Business
The currency trading business is big. An estimated two trillion in U.S. dollars is exchanged each day. The forex market is the largest in the world. Because it can be done from home, many people are interested in getting involved, and the payoff can be big. It is also possible to get involved with little investment. Traders simply determine how much they are able and willing to risk, and they can enter the market.

As with other forms of trading, watching the market and making calculated decisions is more likely to result in a profit than making decisions based on emotions, hunches, or preferences. Many courses are available on currency trading. Learning more about the process can help traders make better choices. Choosing a quality course is also a matter that requires a bit of research. However, currency markets fluctuate on both short and long-term timelines, and learning how to best track these changes and the events that affect the markets can help traders, especially those new to the process. The allure of making quick cash is still out there, however, as it is possible to close a contract after a few minutes, hours, days, or weeks.

Is it Nearing its Peak?
The currency trading frenzy, which expanded rapidly during the 1990s, may be reaching a peak. Why? While in some ways currency trading is easy, many people who enter the market do not make money. The idea that you can make quick cash is not as easy as it sounds. Additionally, while traditional stocks are based on a company's physical assets and product, currency trading is not absolute. Further, governments control, or attempt to control currencies to reach political objectives. Unforeseen events, such as natural disasters, can also alter a currency's value, making it more difficult to make an educated guess on a currency's future. Finally, the global marketplace is changing currencies around the world (the Euro is one such example).

This does not mean that a person cannot make money in the currency market. However, as the global marketplace continues to expand and global politics affect currencies, it is much more difficult to determine a currency's value. Making money in the Foreign Exchange market is possible, but it is not easy. Even economists have a difficult time estimating the future of currencies and purchasing power, so a trader must conduct thorough research, determine trends, and try to make the best guess possible.

Forex broker involvement optional

2009-06-02T18:23:00.000+07:00

To trade on the forex market, the largest financial market on the planet, one must use a forex broker. Not unlike a stock broker, a forex broker can also makes suggestions about which moves to make when exchanging foreign currency. Some forex brokers even supply technical analysis to some of their clients and offer tips on research to improve their success as forex traders.

Typically in the forex market a forex broker is a banking institution who may buy up large amounts of a certain currency. For years, banks were the only ones who had access to the forex markets. But today with the Internet, any forex trader, who subscribes with a forex broker, can access the market 24 hours a day.

Today, as with stock brokers, the brick and mortar institutions, such as banks, are less of an option for the individual forex trader who works from home, monitoring the news and gaining insight into certain technical information to help with his or her trading decisions.

Choosing a forex broker may depend on your needs. If you are new to the field, there are houses, or online forex brokers who may cater to your needs, providing in-depth research, ample time to demo their product and so on. Other forex brokers are geared toward the experienced online forex trader. They too offer advice, but may be less likely to offer instructional help with the information, assuming that you may already know how it may or may not benefit you when you read it. It is advisable to read about and even run a demo on several different online forex brokers before going with one.

The Best Time to Day Trade the Forex Market

2009-06-02T14:22:00.000+07:00

The three major forex trading ‘sessions’ are as follows (all in Eastern Standard Time):

1. New York open 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM
2. Japanese/Australian open 7:00 PM to 3:00 AM
3. London open 3:00 AM to 11:00 AM

** Often, the best times to trade is at the beginning 3-5 hours of the above mentioned opening times, because the major currency pairs tend to move the most in a particular direction. Especially when there are economic news releases.

THE ABSOLUTE BEST TIME TO TRADE IS FROM 3 AM TO 11 AM EST.

The New York and London trading sessions overlap between 7 and 11 am EST. The volatility is much higher and trading opportunities are much more frequent with bigger moves, especially in these four hours.

The currency pair that moves the most during these hours are the Usd/Chf (#1), then the Gbp/Usd, then the Eur/Usd, then the Usd/Jpy.

This is when you can make 30-100 pips trading in just a few minutes or hours, using any of our strategies in any time frame, especially around news releases.

DAILY FORECAST WEBSITES

First thing in the morning, I go to http://www.fxstreet.com to check out some forecasts and news release times for the day. I always check before I start trading and I write down the support/resistance, trend, trading range, target highs & lows, news release times, etc. on my Daily Trading Sheet, which is provided in the Day Trade Forex Advanced course.

This is an interesting forecast site that I also like:

http://www.fxstreet.com/nou/content/107780/content.asp?menu=technicalanalysis

Another place to find out when the world economic news releases are: http://www.forexnews.com and scroll down to the bottom of the website for the list of the current week news releases that impact the Forex markets.

Most often, the economic news release is scheduled for 8:30 AM EST. If you are in a trade at this time, make sure you have your stop loss at a place you are happy with.
The volatility is scary and fast, but if you aren't already in a trade, you can jump in once you see the major trend, usually after the first 5-15 minutes. Look at a 30 min chart to see the major trend.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Most of the forex brokerages have now stopped guaranteeing their stops during fundamental news release times, as the volatility is so extreme, that the price can often move faster than their servers can keep up with. Thus, please be very aware that getting into and out of a trade when you want, can sometimes be next to impossible. You can possibly encounter several things during news release times: whipsaw of the price, slippage, freezing of the platform, disconnects, re-quotes of price, loss of money, etc. Don't bother calling up any dealing desk to complain, as they are all now distancing themselves from this problem, and they all have a disclaimer on their websites. It is a buyer-beware type of situation. If you choose to play the news, you have to be aware of it's risks. The rewards can be very great in just a few minutes, or it can go against you. Make sure that you immediately put in your stop.

Unbreakable Forex Trading Rules Guaranteed To Increase Profits

2009-06-02T09:20:00.000+07:00

There are a few important forex trading rules in trading that should never be broken. If you apply these rules consistently, and with discipline, you will become a profitable trader. Many traders have learned a diplomatic code of conduct that have been learned the hard way by many traders, through trial and error, and by making the inevitable mistakes that everyone makes when they start a trading business. I've gone over a couple of these codes of conduct in this article. Learn from them now, so you won't have to relearn them later.

As a trader one of the first forex trading rules is this, you need to know what you are trying to achieve. Without specific forex trading rules in place like goals and objectives, it's difficult to succeed at any enterprise. It amazes me how often we can hit our targets, meet our objectives, and reach our goals, when we've taken the time to write down what we want to achieve.

One of the second forex trading rules is that you need to have measurable, achievable goals. In trading, the primary objective is obviously to make money, but it is important to have other objectives that are not strictly cash related. Remember, reward and risk go hand in hand when you are trading. You can't achieve high returns without planning and bracing for high risks.

Your objectives and goals have to fit you if they are going to work, but they should also have the following characteristics to be useful. First, your forex trading rules need to be measurable. If you can't measure your results against your goals, how will you ever know if you've achieved them? Secondly your forex trading rules need to be realistic and achievable. Make sure they are worth the time and effort you are going to put into them. Lastly, these should be positive goals. It's easier to be successful when you are trying to do something, rather than to not do it.

If you know what you are trying to gain in your trading, and when you are trying to achieve it, the whole of your efforts will be focused on meeting your objectives. It focuses your attention on the things you really want to achieve with the time and resources that you have available. Having goals will also give you a way to effectively measure the success and progress of your trading strategy. It's pretty clear why traders who have well defined objectives are more successful than those that do not.

Once you have set measurable, achievable goals in your forex trading rules, you need a way to meet them. Successful traders that have good forex trading rules in place do this by being consistent and disciplined in their approach to trading. How do they make their approach consistent? By developing and following a carefully planned trading system. This is a system tailored to their trading style, as their goals are tailored to their preferences. Once you have your system in place, you need to follow it. The system will tell you when to enter a trade, where to set your stops, and when to exit. A good trader follows their system and does what it tells them to.

One of the third set of skills you need in your forex trading rules is that you need to be confident in your system, to have access to the right kind of technology and information, and to have the discipline to stick to your plan. Without a plan you will be trading on impulse, guided by emotions. There is no more reliable way to loose trades than by trading that way.

With a trading system you are prepared for every situation you may face in your trading. This ensures you'll be consistent in your trading no matter what happens. To make sure you cover everything, your system should have:

1. You guidelines for entering, adding to, and getting out of your positions.

2. You need guidelines that have an action plan in case your trading computer, internet connection, broker, power, telephone etc. break down, or fails to be of any real use.

3. You need a code of conduct that will tell you what you will do if you are unable to trade.

4. You need a standard procedure that will tell you what you will do if you lose a certain percentage of your account

5. You need formalities that will tell you what you will do if all the markets are closed and you can't get out of your current positions.

Unless you have answers for all these scenarios that you need in your forex trading rules, you stand a good chance of loosing money. With the answers, and discipline you'll be able to tell if you trading system needs to be tweaked, or if it's just the markets. You will be well on your way to becoming a successful trader.

5 Simple Steps to Turn You Into an Elite Forex Trader

2009-06-02T03:18:00.000+07:00

These 5 simple steps will help turn you into a confident, disciplined Forex trader. By using the steps outlined below you can be in the top 10% of all Forex traders. That would be the few that actually make money.

There are going to be two things you notice about these steps:.

They are obvious.
They are simple.

All aspects of Forex trading should fall into those two categories. In fact, one of the biggest mistakes I see Forex traders make is trying to learn and use too much.

However, that is for a different discussion. Back to the 5 simple steps.

Step 1 - Get Yourself Ready To Trade

In my experience with hundreds of traders I have been amazed with how few of them know how to get their game faces on.

They forget trading is a job. The greatest one in the world, but a job nonetheless. It's difficult for them to be self motivated. Like the majority of the world they need someone over their shoulder telling them what to do.

So, find anything in or around you that can be used to prepare to trade.

Take a shower
Drink coffee
Stretch
Read a book
Do Yoga
Anything to clear your mind

Once your mind is clear, move on to Step 2.

Step 2 - Look over your last few trades

Your trading success, just like the Forex itself, will have momentum and patterns. As you gain experience you will learn to see YOUR patterns. You might catch yourself making the same mistakes time and time again.

As you will learn later, you should be keeping a journal of all your trades. I don't mean the records that come with your trading software. Your journal should be as specific as it can be.

Why did I enter a trade? Why did I exit a trade? Was I near support? Was I near resistance?

Just to mention a few of the questions that your journal should answer for every trade. Take note of any repeated mistakes you have made over the last few trades.

Once you have recognized any trading trends, move on to Step 3.

Step 3 - Fundamental and Technical Analysis

Fundamental analysis refers to anything other then price action. In our case it means news.

Technical analysis refers to anything that is related to price action. Price itself, formulas, patterns, etc....

There is a reason why I mention both of those in one step. I wouldn't waste an entire step on fundamental analysis. It doesn't take me 3 minutes. I look to see what piece(s) of news are being released today in order to determine what kind of volatility to expect in the upcoming session.

This helps me when determining which support and resistance levels I expect to come into play.

As far as technical analysis goes. I don't care what tools, indicators, charts you look at. However, be consistent. Don't use MACD and CCI one night, and RSI and Stochastics another. Don't keep changing the length of your moving averages, or switch from simple to weighted to exponential.

The fact is, find what makes the most sense to you. I think it's great to understand what these indicators mean, but there is no need to over analyze.

I would like to add one thought here...use Fibonacci Lines.

Once you have finished your analysis, both fundamental and technical, move on to Step 4.

Step 4 - Money Management (Determine your trade size)

You should have a very well defined money management system. For example, never risk more then 4% / 5% / 10% of your account on one trade. Increase your trade size by one mini for every $400 / $800 / $1,200 in profit.

It has always astonished me how randomly some traders make these decisions. They change their approach day after day. This is a sure fire path to failure.

Determine what makes the most sense to you and stick with it.

Again, I'd like to add in a thought here. You shouldn't be trading a live account until you can consistently make money in a demo account. At least 2 straight weeks of profit, and not because you made $10,000 one day while losing money in 9 out of 10 days.
So, assuming you are trading a live account, adjust your position size to meet your predetermined formula.

Once you have determined your trade size, move on to Step 5

Step 5 - Make the Trade!!!

You have done all your homework. You have used all your skills and knowledge. The only thing left is to make the trade.

By now, you know exactly what you expect to happen with the currency pair you are watching. You just have to stay patient until your opportunity arises.

However, once it does, pounce on it like a lion on its prey. Do not hesitate when you see exactly what you expected to see.

Be sure, of course, to place a stop order either with your entry order or immediately after. Also, if you have one, be sure to place your profit target.

Once you enter or exit your trade, start writing. Record your trade in a journal, with all reasons for entry and exit. Be as specific as possible. You will be amazed how much valuable information you will gather over time.

Using these 5 steps you should be able to make drastic strides in your Forex trading. If, however, you are not comfortable with any part of your trading it is imperative that you consider a Forex trading course
.

Remember, you are only as good as your knowledge and your knowledge is only as good as your education.

FOREX Trading - Not Just for the Big Boys

2009-06-01T22:16:00.000+07:00

It seems that almost everyone is familiar with the stock market and many employees are actually invested in it because of their company’s 401k. Everyday as part of the news report, we are always given the latest report on the Dow Jones or New York Stock Exchange. Yes, it has its ups and downs and we all know someone who has made large profits as well as devastating losses. The stock market can be very volatile. If there was a market you could trade in without as much of this volatility, had easy access and low cost, what would it be? FOREX.

FOREX (Foreign Exchange market) is the largest financial market in the world with almost $1.5 trillion traded daily. Compare that to $200 billion in the equity market. Basically, FOREX is the exchange where you can sell one country’s currency for another. Let’s say that you purchase British pounds and then after the pounds/dollar ratio goes up, you sell the pounds and buy more dollars. Until recently this market was only accessible by the major banks, large corporations and those with very large investments. Due to federal regulations, the Foreign Exchange market is no longer a monopoly which means you and I can also profit in this huge market.

Let’s look at some of the benefits of FOREX trading.

Accessibility. 24 hours a day, 5.5 days a week. The currency exchange market is an over the counter market which means that there is not one specific location where buyers and sellers meet to exchange currencies. Transactions can be easily handled through websites designed for this purpose.

No exchange or commission fees. Unlike other markets where brokerage fees are incurred, the FOREX market is a worldwide inter-bank market. Trades can be made between the buyer and seller in an instant.

Low minimum Investment. For an initial investment of $300, you can start your FOREX account. This market requires less money to begin trading than any other market. This keeps your risk low.

These are just a few of the many advantages of the FOREX trading. Are you ready to jump into an exciting new adventure that can be very profitable? Can you imagine getting into this market and having someone train you for free? There is a free course currently being offered that will teach both beginners and experienced currency traders how to profit in this market. “FOREX Freedom” is the course you should check out if any of this sounds like the opportunity that you have been waiting for. It will guide you every step of the way.

Option Trading Tip - Covered Call Cashflow

2009-06-01T16:13:00.000+07:00

Writing Covered Calls is a conservative strategy where you buy a stock that you would like to invest in and then write a call option against that stock.

This is a cash generating strategy that not only offers downside protection that you otherwise wouldn't enjoy if you just bought the stock, but also gives you the ability to generate a consistent monthly income, for only minutes of your time.

However as with all option trading strategies, there are pitfalls that you will need to avoid if you are to be consistently profitable.

Here are a few tips that may help you write covered calls successfully.

Always check the fundamentals of the underlying stock and make sure that you would be happy to own even if options didn't exist.

A great resource for viewing fundamental 'ratings' for stocks is at http://www.morningstar.com

Don't enter a Covered Call trade just because the option premium looks attractive. Higher option premiums (10-15% or more) often mean that the stock is more volatile i.e. prone to huge price swings and therefore greater risk.

I personally target the larger, more liquid and stable companies with monthly call option premiums between the 3-6% range.

One of my personal favorites and a stock that I have had considerable success writing covered calls on over the years is Oracle (ORCL).

I've also had consistent success with Intel (INTC) and Nokia (NOK). At times the Nasdaq Tracking Unit (QQQQ) is also attractive (a 3% yield is the highest I've ever seen it though).

Don't hold stocks at least 2 days either side of earnings announcements. Much of the time expectations of good and even great earnings are already priced into the stock and should the stock fall short of expectations or even worse disappoint, a virtual bloodbath can follow. I've experienced declines of 30-50% in just a few days by holding my covered call stocks over earnings announcements.

Don't get me wrong, it can also be good time to be a stockholder if the earnings numbers are really great, but I'm a little more conservative and to me it's just not worth the risk. You can always buy back in afterwards anyway!

Always take a look at stock charts when choosing a stock to write covered calls on. There are 3 general patterns that I look for:

1) A moderate uptrend.

2) A sideways trend.

However the most conservative/safe chart pattern for covered call writing (in my experience) appears after a stock has had a steep sell off and has begun to move sideways for a couple of months.

This is a type of 'bottoming' pattern where much of the downside risk has already been 'sold' out of the stock.

As covered call writers it's always important to remember that our risk lies if the stock falls sharply, so we want to do our best to reduce the risk as best we can. This is just one way that I have found to be effective.

If you go to http://www.stockcharts.com and pull up the chart for the QQQQ during the early part of 2003, you'll see this exact pattern. I successfully wrote covered calls on the QQQQ for about 4 months during this time before I allowed myself to be assigned and moved onto another opportunity.

There you have it. Hopefully these tips help you on your way to consistent profits and monthly cashflow writing covered calls.

Oh, it also goes without saying but I'll say it anyway, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket!"

Happy option trading and investing!

Do You Understand These Critical Aspects of FOREX

2009-06-01T06:11:00.000+07:00

FOREX, also known as the FX market or the foreign exchange market
, is largest and oldest financial market in the world. It is also the biggest and most liquid market in the world, a market that runs 24/5, circling the globe with financial transactions.

There has been some sort of foreign exchange for as long as people have needed to exchange currencies to do business. Technically, if you are a tourist travelling in a foreign country and you use a traveler`s check to pay for a transaction, you are engaging in foreign exchange. However, traders are not interested in that type of foreign exchange. They are concerned with trading foreign exchange, which occurs when one currency is traded for another on the market purely to make a profit.

In the past, foreign exchange trading was limited to banks, major currency dealers and occasionally to very large speculators. Only these groups were able to take advantage of the currency market`s fantastic liquidity and the strong trending nature of many of the world`s primary currency exchange rates. However, recent technological advancements and the development of various online trading platforms have made it possible for small traders to take advantage of the many benefits of FOREX trading.

Foreign exchange market brokers are now able to break down the larger sized inter-bank units and offer individual traders the opportunity to buy or sell any number of these smaller units. These brokers give any size trader, including individual speculators or smaller companies, the option to trade at the same rates and price movements as the big players who once dominated the market.

Transactions on the FOREX market are performed continuously by dealers at major banks or at FOREX brokerage companies around the world. FOREX is a part of a worldwide market, and it is active 24 hours a day. Dealers at major institutions work 24/5 in three different shifts. Traders may place orders with brokers for overnight execution, without waiting for the opening of any market.

Because of this continuous activity, price movements on the FOREX market are very smooth, without the gaps that occur on the stock market. The daily turnover on the FOREX market is somewhere around $1.2 trillion, so there is never any danger of an investor being unable to enter and exit positions whenever they want to. The fact is that the FOREX market never stops. Even on September 11, 2001, you could still get your hands on two-side quotes on currencies.

These currencies are on a floating exchange rate, and they are always traded in pairs such as Euro/Dollar, or Dollar/Yen. About 85% of all daily transactions involve trading of the major currencies. Four major currency pairs are usually used for investment purposes. They are: Euro against US dollar, US dollar against Japanese yen, British pound against US dollar, and US dollar against Swiss franc. They appear on the market in this form: EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD, and USD/CHF. As a note, you should know that no dividends are paid on currencies.

If you feel one of the currencies in the pair you are trading in is undervalued, you can buy more of that currency (by selling the other). If everything goes as you expect, you later sell back the currency you bought (buying the currency you sold in the beginning) for a profit. Trading on FOREX utilizes margin in such a way that an individual trader is able to profit well from trades such as these. The market is one where high profits are accessible to all types of traders, and the market is also big enough to ensure that there will almost always be a good trading opportunity.

When you compare them, you will see that the currency futures market is only one per cent as big as FOREX. In addition, currency trading is not centered on an exchange, unlike the futures and stock markets. Trading moves from major banking centers of the U.S. to Australia and New Zealand, to the Far East, to Europe and finally back to the U.S. it is truly a full circle trading game.

As you can see, the foreign exchange market has come a long way. Being successful at it can be intimidating and difficult when you are new to the game. However, once you understand the market, you will be able to realize your potential to be a highly profitable trader.

Don't Rush Into Forex Trading

2009-05-31T13:59:00.000+07:00

Once I starting enjoying making profit on the forex market, the word got out, everyone I know started asking me if I would teach them about the world of forex trading. This is what I tell them:

The first thing is get ready for a life-changing adventure! Once you get a taste of making money by sitting in front of your computer monitor, there is no turning back. Then after getting them all fired up (I am one of these people who get passionate about things I believe in – can’ help it), I get them into a free demo account as quickly as possible, usually within minutes.

Then, I show them how to use an online trading station (free computer software that allows you to use your demo account to interact with the largest money market in the world – with over $1.5 trillion exchanging hands per day – HUGE market!). The wonderful thing about these free demo accounts is that they are exactly the same as real trading – unlike learning how to invest in the stock market, for example, where you have to pretend that someone will sell to you and that someone will buy from you – and that is not real at all! The forex market is so liquid (instant buyers and sellers) that both the demo and real accounts behave exactly the same! What a great way to learn – when you switch to a real account, you can’t even tell.

Then, I get them to practice, using various proven techniques, with their demo account until they feel comfortable that they are consistently making profits. At first, like anything, you need to learn from experts. You need a mentor to teach you. You can’t just do what you ‘think’ will work – you must learn techniques that really work. Trading is both a science and an art, so practice is very valuable before you start to trade for real. I tell them to be patient, the thrills are coming soon!

Then the day arrives, they open a real account and start trading in a mini account (designed for beginners or those who want to do smaller, yet real, trades). Once they see real money being made, they can hardly wait to trade in a regular account – but again I tell them to practice because now the trades are real. Because they did their homework and practiced proven techniques with the demo accounts, the transition to a real account is easy – the hardest part is learning not to shake in your shoes as they enter into this exciting arena along side the wealthiest people in the world. Keeping calm takes awhile and then they come to the realization that they too are on their way to making more money than they ever imagined.

What amazed me when I first looked into forex trading was the amount of available websites offering endless promises about riches to be made forex trading. Yet, at the same time, I quickly learned from real experts that most people who follow this advice lose all of their investment in the first few months! Wow! So, not wanting to make that huge mistake, I followed the advice I now give to my friends. Start with a demo, then a mini-account and finally move to a regular account all the while being mentored by someone who really knows how to make profits in the forex market.

By following this advice myself, I survived the first few months and now make wonderful profits! I love it!

Forex Trading - Mindset of The Millionaire Forex Pro's

2009-05-30T08:56:00.000+07:00

Forex trading can be learned by anyone yet few succeed so what separates winners from losers? While a method is important, so to is the right mindset and here we will look at 3 character traits all the top traders have.

1. Success Comes From Within

Top traders do their homework and devise a trading logic and forex trading strategy they know backwards in terms of how and why it works and why it will be successful.

Contrast this with the amount of losing traders who buy an e-book from a vendor and then blame them, when the few hundred bucks they spent, didn’t make them rich! – what did they expect?

Other traders blame anyone they can - from the market, to their broker and squeal like babies when they lose – They are forgetting that they are responsible for their destiny, no one else.

Winners accept this and rely on themselves and so must you.

2. Confidence

If you have done your homework you will have confidence in your forex trading strategy and confidence is essential, as you have to follow your method through losing periods and know in your own mind, that you can emerge from periods of losses and emerge a winner longer term.

All successful forex pro’s have this trait and you need it to, as it leads onto a trait that is absolutely vital to forex trading success:

3. Discipline

This trait is needed to execute a method rigidly and not deviate from it.

Keep in mind if you can’t follow your method with discipline, you don’t have one in the first place.

If you think it is easy, think again – it’s tough even for seasoned pros.

Many traders have great methods but fail due to lack of discipline.

Confronting the Beast

Trading forex is hard as only you can be wrong (it’s always right) it will make you look stupid (it does this to all traders) and it moves where and when it wants and there is nothing you can do about it!

However you can win you just need to obey its rules.

You are like a ships captain on the ocean. You need to obey its law and understand everything about it to travel on it safely.

For this you need to have knowledge, confidence in your ability and the discipline, to plot the right course – If you can do this - just like the ocean has unlimited riches so does the forex market.

If you respect it and confront it with the right mindset you can win if you don’t you will drown – it’s as simple as that.

Learn Currency Exchange - Why Predicting Currencies Is Doomed To Failure

2009-05-29T18:31:00.000+07:00

If you want to learn currency exchange properly then you need to make sure you know which way to place your trading signals and predicting will see you lose. Predicting is simply hoping or guessing and is a better way to make profits which is the subject we will cover here.

If you learn currency exchange and want to learn forex trading correctly then you need to understand the next point.

Don't predict prices act on confirmation and this will see you trade with the odds - if you don't trade with the odds you will lose.

You can't predict so don't try, simply learn to act on the truth:

The reality of price momentum.

Before we cover this in more detail, let's dispel the currency trading myth that has led to so many traders trying to predict.

Currency prices move to a scientific formula.

Theories such as Fibonacci Gann and Elliot Wave promote this myth and there are plenty of vendors spreading it and making money out of it - Fact is neither Elliot nor Gann made money with their theories nor Fibonacci theory was hijacked and was never even supposed to be applied to trading!

There is of course no scientific theory that lets you see the future.

If markets were scientific, we would all know the price in advance and their would be no market!

Common sense - however many forex traders fall for scientific theories and lose their money.
Let's take an example to help you learn currency exchange for profit the right way.

For example, on your currency trading system, you see that prices are coming to important support or resistance - but you don't just execute your trading signal.

You want proof that the level is going to hold before you enter the market to know the odds are in your favor.

You do this by looking at currency price momentum and watching for a changes in the direction you wish to trade to support your view.

This is essential in any successful forex trading system and you need to learn how to spot these momentum changes. If you can do this, then you will be trading with odds on your side and can enjoy currency trading success.

To see shifts in price momentum you need some indicators and its now time to make momentum oscillators part of your forex education.

If you are learning currency exchange for profit, then two of the best are:

The, stochastic and the Relative strength Index ( RSI).

These will help you see shifts in price momentum and help you execute your trading signal in line with these momentum changes.

If you want to learn forex trading correctly momentum indicators are simply essential. We don't have time to cover these indicators in more detail here but make sure you look them up in our other articles.

Trade The Truth

If you look at support and resistance then use momentum to confirm the move you will be trading the reality with no hoping or guessing

You may say that you miss a bit of the move i.e the first part of the change but as you can't predict when this is going to happen anyway and keep in mind if you get a good chunk of the profits say 60% that's enough to pile up big gains over the long term.

Always remember the old traders saying:

"A top or bottom picker soon becomes a cotton picker"

This saying is over half a century old and it's as true today as it ever was if you try and predict and jump the gun you're going to lose.

The major lesson when learning currency exchange and trading for profit is simply:

Currency trading is not a game of certainties - it's an odds game and you need to play the odds to win just like the successful card player.

Sure, you won't win every hand but that won't stop you building big profits over the longer term.

If you learn currency exchange with the above points in mind, you will soon be spotting opportunities for profit without hoping guessing or predicting and simply trading the truth and that's the only way to win longer term.

Your Forex Broker and Your Charting Package Are TWO Different Things

2009-05-28T02:23:00.000+07:00

These are TWO distinct subjects.

* Forex Broker (who handles your transactions and keeps a record of them)
* Charting Package (a tool that fits your personality)

Okay, here's a radical idea: you DON'T have to use your forex broker's charts. Radical maybe a stretch but from what we gathered most people use (atleast for the lack of creativity) the broker's charting package. Between your broker and charting package - your broker would be the first one you'd boot (let go) - then your charting package. Yes! its important to have a reliable broker - who has enough NET assets that allows the brokerage to liquidate your account easily. However, your charting package is the "DECISION MAKER" - you make your decisions based on what the charts are showing you and your ability to read them correctly. It is VERY important to get a charting package - which has atleast a few of the following:

1. Tools that you know you need (will use).

2. Tools that you MIGHT want to use in your back-testing

3. Tools that generate "alerts" when needed - for example, you might have drawn what you think is an IMPORTANT support or resistance on the chart - what good is it gonna do you - if it doesn't "ring a bell" when the market hits that price? - maybe your in the other room - or maybe you on the same computer reading an interesting article about Obama vs McCain (?) - shouldn't your charting package "alert" you of a moving market?

4. I personally would prefer a package that would alert me a few PIPS - BEFORE my support or resistance is hit - either it can make noise on my computer or send me a text message - so far, I am yet to realize this joy in my life.

5. You also need a charting package that doesn't use much of your computer's resource - who wants something that freezes up your computer every now & then?

6. Last but not the least - you will need something that you "enjoy" or atleast "tolerate" looking at - that's only achievable if the charting package allows you to change backgrounds, candlestick colors, trendline, channel colors etc..

Prepare a list of "what my charting package SHOULD be" - and then compare it with what's available. Take them for a test drive - almost all of the package subscriptions can be taken for a test drive - just make sure to cancel them (if you don't like it) Forex Brokers on the other hand - the only test drive you can do - is use their demo accounts - and "feel" their trading platform and execution. And its also good advice to demo your broker's platform before signing up. All the best in your setup.

5 Common Forex Mistakes

2009-05-27T21:18:00.000+07:00

Forex trading is more popular than ever and it's a known fact that everything about Forex trading can be specifically learned but 95% of traders still lose. So how do you avoid the losing majority and enter the elite 5% of traders, who make huge gains? Let's find out.

Here are the reasons the vast majority of traders lose and there all avoidable mistakes.

1. They think they can get rich with no effort

These traders follow cheap software packages which claim big gains with no effort and they soon get wiped out. If you want to make money, you need to make an effort - it's as simple as that.

2. Not Understanding the Dangers of Leverage

Leverage can work for or against you and most traders simply leverage their money to much and get wiped out. Over leveraging an account, will sooner or later lead to a wipe out so use sensible leverage. Leverage of 10 or 20:1 is enough for most traders.

3. Over Trading

Forex trends last for many weeks, months or years yet, most traders try and scalp a few pips in a day or two. The result is they take low odds trades, lose or make marginal gains which never cover their inevitable losses.

Keep in mind, you don't get rewarded for how much you trade, just how much you make per trade! So focus on high odds trades which are long term.

4. Over Complicating a Trading System

Many traders think 10 indicators are better than 2 but this is not true. If you make your system to complex, with to many rules, it will simply have too many elements to break in real time trading. All the best systems are simple and yours should be too.

5. Not Trading With Discipline

If you want to enjoy profits longer term, you need to have strict money management and trade with discipline. This means you take your losses and keep them small -Sounds simple?

Well most traders can't do it, they let their emotions get involved, run losses or override their system rules and lose. Forex trading is not about ego or being right all the time, it's about making money and you can actually lose far more trades than you win and still make money, if you run your profits and cut your losses.

All traders even the top ones, will lose for periods and you will too and how you deal with these losses, will determine if you enjoy long term currency trading success or not.

Winning at Forex Trading

If you want to win at Forex trading you can. You need a simple robust trading strategy you have confidence in combined with the discipline to trade it.

You need to keep losses small and run your profits - this has always been the way to succeed and always will be. If you put in the effort and have the right mindset, no other business can make you as much money as global Forex.

Forex Trading - Risks vs Benefits

2009-05-27T11:05:00.000+07:00

The Foreign Exchange market, better known as the Forex market, is the largest financial market in the world, with a daily average turnover of well over US $1 trillion. Trading at Forex is done simultaneously, with one currency being bought and another being sold at the same time.

Forex trading is a sophisticated form of investing which can bring you immense wealth but not without risk. The world of forex is somewhat unstable however and there's no telling when currencies value will go up or down.

Most traders especially newbies are a bit reluctant to jump into the business. For newbies you have to educate yourself first before jumping into unknown territories. Learn the basic on what forex trading is all about. There are numerous sites available where you can get the right knowledge and information. People achieve success because they got the right knowledge and quality information and so should you.

There are certain aspects of the risk one has to look into. Even though the forex industry has cleaned up itself from forex scams and what not, still one should exercise caution when signing up a forex broker. As an individual forex trader, you depends solely on the broker to make a transaction in your trades, thus picking up the right broker is extremely crucial. One has also to be wary of the rate of exchange of foreign currencies, the interest rate involved, the country's stability in politics, economy to name a few and there is also the credit risk.

Risks in currency trading cannot be avoided. At the same time it provides us with lots of business opportunities and for those of us who are serious about forex trading should take advantage of this situation to their level best.

Even though they are risks involved in forex trading, the truth of the matter is there are more benefits and advantages to it.

Forex trading has one very big advantage in that one can profit from it regardless of whether the currency market is up or down. As long as you pick the right move there is always a profit to be made.

Currency trading can be conducted anywhere and anytime 24 hours a day and 5 1/2 days a week. This flexibility in time can give us opportunity to plan our currency investment so as to avoid or minimise the risk involved. Transactions can be conducted in real time especially with the advent of computer and the internet. Things can run automatically on its own.

With automation, we can have better options with regards to diversifying transactions. We can conduct multiple transactions in different time zones at once. Short term data can be analyzed rather quickly giving us time to predict the market in a shorter period of times.

All these are made possible with the advent of automated Forex trading systems designed by experts and professionals who themselves are successful forex traders. Under this system you can get a software - a robot to do all the trading for you. Just install the system and you will be on your way. But you have to be careful though, as always there are scams out there. Always review and compare the systems first.

What Makes a Currency Trading Tutorial the Best One?

2009-05-27T08:51:00.000+07:00

There are many factors that makes a currency trading tutorial the best one and while there are some critical that cannot be avoided, it is more of the value addedness that some of these tutorials might have that might put it above the rest. While there are hundreds of programmes and tutorials out there to mention (and there is no space in this article to mention them all), this article will discuss about some of the features that these systems should have to make it not only effective, but a winner as well. Well on of them would be ease of use, because in the end of the day, the entire point of the tutorial is that it should make things easier for you, not confuse you with technical jargon and complicated methods.

A tutorial should be simple and to the point, and you should be able to read things in short points and be able to understand them within minutes. Some of the tutorials that are online are difficult to circumnavigate and understand, so avoid them at all costs. You can normally spot a well designed tutorial by the simple fact that you understand a whole lot within just a few minutes and it should start with the basics. You should have alot of control over the tutorial as well, meaning that you should be able to go back and forth to the points where you didn’t grasp at first and there should be some applications built into the tutorial that allow you to practice on some concepts in real time. Also, some of the better ones online employ the use of a virtual environment or even a game concept to make learning about Forex fun and easy.

The real market can be quite a headache and tutorials need to be simple and fun, and they need to engage you, so I think this is really one of the secret formulas that allow for the newbie, greenhorn beginners to actually understand and get involved in the whole trading game within a few moments. While there is nothing wrong with the traditional approach, many practitioners feel that it sometimes is not enough to capture the imaginations of the new investor to something as dry and as technical as the Forex market. Trading also can be very fun (once you are making money), so it should reflect that to some degree and have some punishment ‘tools and systems’ built in the environment so that the end user will remember his mistake and will not repeat it again.

Of course, in all this, you need to be assured that the system you are using is designed either by experts on the market or by seasoned investors or financial institutions. Once these features are available and you find yourself with the right tutorial on your computer screen, then chances are that you have just come across, probably the best currency trading tutorial on the internet. So take the time to peruse the internet for the right one for you, instead of settling on one that is mediocre. After all, your success in the Forex market depends on it.

The Stock Market is Not an Easy Game

2009-05-27T08:00:00.000+07:00

Trading equities in the stock market can be a risky and /or profitable endeavor. In this recent contraction in the economy it is also a very tempting idea. The lures of riches and the “prestige” of being a stock market operator are sometimes irresistible. If only it were just a matter of signing on with a broker and getting started buying and selling. Fact is, if it were that easy everyone would be doing it.

When a person first gets started it's very possible he will have a few lucky trades and make some money. This only goes to fuel the fire, so to speak, and has the potential for disaster. False confidence early on can lead to bad habits, uneducated “guesses” and ultimately the poor house. As losses increase due to trying to make money back a snowball effect begins to happen. Desperation sets in, the mind becomes clouded and confused as blind buying and selling activity increases. Stocks are being chased and always seem to be just behind the curve. You lose more and more until there is no more to lose. When you finally stop to take assessment, it's to late. Everything is lost.

That, of course is a pretty bad picture, but happens a lot. The stock market is not a place to get rich quick or to run to when in between jobs. It takes years of education, trial and error and advise from those that have been there.

Countless books have written by professional market operators and not so professional too. Choose wisely whom will teach and direct you. Be wary of those making more money selling books and advise than those actually making it the markets. Many people know what to do and will sell that knowledge without ever having successfully implementing it themselves. It's easy study and find out what to do, the challenge is doing it and doing at the right time with the right amounts.

Eventually one will have to find or decide on a mentor. A mentor is the one that will show the way. Your mentor will teach you and guide you through the ins and outs of the markets. This is probably the most important decision that will be made in your career. The person or organization that trains you will show the way as they know it but following but your ultimate success is determined by you. What rules you choose to make and follow, the style of trading you want follow and how closely you follow those rules.

It will cost some money and there will be more than one that are tried before the right fit is found. Beware any that promise easy riches or consistent outrageous returns. There is nothing easy about making money in the stock market. Ensure that you have research any potential ideas thoroughly through forums, websites, search engines and blogs. There are a lot of really good people out there, and a lot that want to take your money with no perceived value.

It's not to say that trading stocks, forex or futures is not a lucrative business, it certainly can be, but in the end it's all up to you. It takes hard work, lots of hours and the proper training. Profiting consistently takes time and practice. You can do it if you do it right.

The World Wide Forex Currency Market At Your Doorstep

2009-05-26T22:57:00.000+07:00

Eric T. Brown

Forex is a trading ‘method’ also known as FX or and foreign market exchange. Those involved in the foreign exchange markets are some of the largest companies and banks from around the world, trading in currencies from various countries to create a balance as some are going to gain money and others are going to lose money. The basics of forex are similar to that of the stock market found in any country, but on a much larger, grand scale, that involves people, currencies and trades from around the world, in just about any country.

Different currency rates happen and change every day. What the value of the dollar may be one day could be higher or lower the next. The trading on the forex market is one that you have to watch closely or if you are investing huge amounts of money, you could lose large amounts of money. The main trading areas for forex, happens in Tokyo, in London and in New York, but there are also many other locations around the world where forex trading does take place.

The most heavily traded currencies are those that include (in no particular order) the Australian dollar, the Swiss franc, the British pound sterling, the Japanese yen, the Eurozone euro, and the United States dollar. You can trade any one currency against another and you can trade from that currency to another currency to build up additional money and interest daily.

The areas where forex trading is taking place will open and close, and the next will open and close. This is seen also in the stock exchanges from around the world, as different time zones are processing order and trading during different time frames. The results of any forex trading in one country could have results and differences in what happens in additional forex markets as the countries take turns opening and closing with the time zones. Exchange rates are going to vary from forex trade to forex trade, and if you are a broker, or if you are learning about the forex markets you want to know what the rates are on a given day before making any trades.

The stock market is generally based on products, prices, and other factors within businesses that will change the price of stocks. If someone knows what is going to happened before the general public, it is often known as inside trading, using business secrets to buy stocks and make money – which by the way is illegal. There is very little, if any at all inside information in the forex trading markets. The monetary trades, buys and sells are all a part of the forex market but very little is based on business secrets, but more on the value of the economy, the currency and such of a country at that time.

Every currency that is traded on the forex market does have a three letter code associated with that currency so there is no misunderstanding about which currency or which country one is investing with at the time. The Euro is the EUR and the US dollar is known as the USD. The British pound is the GBP and the Japanese yen is known as the JPY. If you are interested in contacting a broker and becoming involved in the forex markets you can find many online where you can review the company information and transactions before processing and becoming involved in the forex markets.

Four Methods For Trading Exchange Traded Funds In Your Portfolio

2009-05-26T21:59:00.000+07:00

ETF Profit Driver incorporates state of the art educational software to present a professional quality course. Bill Poulos has developed ETF Profit Driver to take advantage of the significant benefits offered the investor by Exchange Traded Funds. While an ETF does offer a level of diversification as compared to an individual stock, It is still very possible to lose money trading any ETF product, so it is important to adopt a system that tells you when to get into the position and, just as importantly, when to get out of the position.

Exchange Traded Funds offer investors and traders many advantages over both individual stocks as well as traditional mutual funds. Because Exchange Traded Funds are "baskets" of stocks, they provide the investor with immediate diversification that is not afforded by stock in a single company. With that diversification come a reduction in risk.

Mutual funds also provide diversification through their ownership of multiple stocks. They are not exchange traded, however. This means that your buy and sell orders will not be filled until sometime after the markets have closed. Exchange Traded Funds are traded on exchanges, so you are able to open and close positions during market hours allowing you to make effective use of stop and limit orders.

ETF Profit Driver incorporates four specific methods for selecting Exchange Traded Funds and proper time to purchase them. These methods do require some study, but once mastered you can realistically expect to apply them in about 20 minutes after the market's close. That means you will not need to spend hours staring at a computer screen.

Each of the four trading methods is designed to trade the market in concert with a developing or existing upward trend. Short selling is not part of this method, although you are able to "get short" the market through the use of negatively correlated Exchange Traded Funds. A negatively correlated ETF is one that moves opposite the market, so when the market is in a downward trend one of these "short" Exchange Traded Funds will rise in value.

Therefore, the focus of ETF Profit Driver is to identify Exchange Traded Funds that are in the process of making a sustained upward move or that are breaking out to the upside. The systems revealed in the course identify relative points for safe entry and simulatneously identify a point of exit. In sum, you will tend to enter the market when the odds of profitabilty are at their highest and exit the market when the trend is no longer reliable.

Once you understand the nature of market trends, you will have an appreciation for each of the four trading methods incorporated into ETF Profit Driver. The first method attempts to identify and jump aboard a newly developing trend when it first breaks out. Other methods look for safe points in the market to buy ETF while it is in the trend and when it has corrected following a correction.

Money management is a critical aspect for all investors and traders, although most in the retail sector do not incorporate it into their own strategies. With ETF Profit Driver, Bill Poulos has incorporated very effective methods for not only buying Exchange Traded Funds but for also selling the positions when necessary to avoid losses and to take profits at appropriate times. As such, it is a complete Exchange Traded Funds trading course.

Forex Basics: A Tutorial Guide For Forex Trading Beginners

2009-05-26T20:56:00.000+07:00

The Forex market may appear really complex and creepy to understand and workout; but in fact it is not. The idea behind Forex trading as simple since it is similar to any other trading market. You purchase low and you sell high to get the maximum yield.

Forex is a major, non-stop and a worldwide financial market which generates trillions of dollars daily, making it the most liquid market which exists.

Trading in Forex is distinctive as compare to other financial markets like stock trading since it offers trader and speculators the possibility to act on the market, whichever location they may be. In other words, the Forex Theater and its actors face no barriers or constraints at all. One can act on the Forex market regardless of his location and time zone.

For years, the Forex market was only accessible to global corporations, large currency dealers and large monetary institutions such as banks and insurance companies. The reason behind such a trend was that the Forex Market imposes firm guidelines on the instances involved in trading currencies. In other words, sole traders and small business units found it rather impossible to penetrate the Forex Trading Market.

Fortunately, in the late 90's, with sustained developments in the communication field the Forex Market was made accessible to individuals and small business units. Real time monitoring coupled with limitless and perpetual internet made the Financial Market more accessible, even for individuals engaged in home business.

Nowadays, Forex Trading is gaining momentum and acceptance. Individuals now see in the financial trading market the occasion to earn wealth with the least effort but however, one should not neglect the risk factor associated to it. It has been proved that Forex can may one rich but the opposite is also a reality to be feared. This is the reason why sometimes we see cyclical traders.

In line with the above, we can deduce how important it is for a beginner to learn and understand the Forex market before he actually steps in. To gain knowledge of a Forex trading is not a demanding chore since numerous websites offer Forex education. Most of these websites offers demo accounts so that one can simulate a trade, without the use of real money. These demo accounts really take you close to Forex trading and help you build up your knowledge but according to Financial Market experts, one comes to learn about Forex Trading the moment one juggles with the real market.

To jump-start your career, one needs a series of tools like high-internet access, a Forex account, Forex Trading software and the most important, the funds to trade. A basic comprehension of Forex Charts is required before entering the market. These Forex Charts are vital aids to traders and speculators since the former indicates the trend in the traded currencies' exchange rates. One's decision to buy or to sell currencies will be based on the liner illustrations which are charts.

Every Forex chart differs in what they indicate although they are all showing the same alterations in the currencies' rates over a given period. For instance, in the "Daily Forex Chart", one can appraise the market tendencies in the past 24 hours to speculator on the trends the market may adopt in the next 24 hours. As its name indicates, through the "Hourly Chart", you can easily assess the particular day trends on an hourly basis and finally the "15 minutes Charts" depicts each quarter hour currency fluctuations. Sometimes, there exists "5 minutes Charts" to assist traders and offer them a better view on recent trends and help them in determining the investment strategy.

These fundamental rules are explained as they are the starting blocks of any Forex trader. However, one must never forget that same as the Forex Trading Market can make one wealthy, it can also cause havoc in ones financial position due to the risk element associated with it.

Switching to Forex. Is it the Right Move?

2009-05-26T10:55:00.000+07:00

Under the present economic turnaround, nothing seems secured. Economy which is being riddled by high unemployment rates, bank bailouts and loan defaults put the whole world into uncertainties. The big question is, "Are there opportunities where one can invest?" When come to investing the two areas that always pop up are the forex market, stock and the commodity market. Now, where do you invest? You really have to weigh out the ins and outs, the good and the bad, advantages and disadvantages. I have my own way of analyzing the situation where I applied the SWOT analysis concept. SWOT by the way stands for Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threat.

Strength.
The Forex market is open for trading 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week, 365 days throughout the whole year. Forex trading involves exchanging of one currency for another i.e. it is based on currency rates. Investors can make money either in a bullish or a bearish market. Trading in the Forex market can be made more simpler by automatic signal services which measure and then predict the trends for a particular currency pair. Brokerage and commission fees hardly exist in Forex market and you get all of the profit. With internet around you can do all your trading automatically and online.

Weaknesses.
The Forex market is not widely publicized. In other words, not much information is readily available. Not many people will understand it. The profit margins are extremely small.

Opportunities
Around 2 billion dollar worth of currency turnovers are happening everyday. Isn't this a great opportunity? With a little investment and the right frame of mind, with the right attitude that is, one should jump into this wealth of opportunities. Technological advancement, along with liberal market sentiments, has allowed almost everyone to deal in currency trading, unlikely to the past when there were only few organizations that could trade the currency.

Threat.
Forex trading has its own set of rules and that if you don't understand them, then you could easily suffer a margin call. The reliability and reputation of a forex broker causes the dangers of forex trading. The currency trader should check the reliability and reputation of the brokers before they get in trade with their assistance. The unpredictable and volatile nature of the market makes it more complex to avoid risks even if you choose a genuine broker. In simple terms, the risks involved in forex trading relate to the rate of exchange of foreign currencies, the interest rate, the risk according to country and credit risk.

Based on the above analysis I would go for Forex market. Being more in strength and opportunities, one should opt for Forex market.

Now is the right time to switch over to Forex. There are numerous Forex Autopilot Systems that are available on the internet to help you with the trading. One has to be careful though when choosing the right system. Always be wary of scams. To save time go for review sites where options are given fairly to potential traders.

The Use of Forex Trading Simulators As Trader's Guides

2009-05-26T10:53:00.000+07:00

People trade in the Forex for as many different reasons as there are people. Perhaps you want a better standard of living; you have big medical bills; you want a new home. Whatever the reason, the use of a training simulator is a great way to learn how to trade in the currency market before you take the plunge into real money trading.

Simulation includes free demonstration in real time, leverage of 400:1, and getting into the action of trading. However, even if traders practice trading in real time by testing services and strategies, they sometimes fail. The trading demo is not enough unless the trader knows what he is doing.

There are different important factors that traders should consider in order to succeed. Forex trading involves practice, reinforcement, and repetition. This process requires refined strategies and skills. So, traders should incorporate Forex simulators in their trading programs to help perfect their skills.

Compared to Forex demo that provides real time functions, Forex simulators help the traders upload, review, and view historical data any time. Simulators test the traders' understanding and recognition of trading signals and patterns in programs that may be fast forwarded and rewound. In this manner, the traders can retest their knowledge and find out what needs to improve and change to stay in the pace of Forex market conditions.

Forex simulators are essential because traders may be thoroughly trained even within a few days of working. This is because traders can rewind, pause, or fast forward whatever segment they have studied. A five-minute timeframe can be set up to a chosen area. Traders may also get trade snapshots, use the indicators they like, or keep journal trades to refine strategies.

Forex simulators are sometimes compared to PC games. The player has a mission to accomplish and repeating the game a number of times can lead to perfection. The Forex simulator also works this way; it requires practice, repetition, and reinforcement to be a good trader.

The traders are more prepared before they open live accounts. Forex simulators are serious tools for traders who want to learn how to trade before investing real money.

Keep in mind that there are thousands of Forex traders in the markets. How will the traders invest successfully if they don't understand the basics? If Forex simulators are clearly defined and practiced, a trader's success is more likely. Simulators teach traders to pitfalls so that they could make money out of their investments.

- Forex simulators are helpful guides to traders so that they can successfully trade in the forex markets. They teach the traders how to trade in pairs instead of currencies. The traders learn the relationship of one currency to the other and their impact one each other. The failure or success of trading depends on the right combination of currencies.

- Market conditions are also important when trading. Forex simulators help the traders understand the basics of trading markets the trader's advantage. They also update traders about economic events and news affecting market conditions. Novice traders can be shocked by market fluctuations brought about by economic and political events. Imagine the effect of the great tidal wave on Asian currencies. When that happens, beginners miss the opportunity to trade because they wait for the market to calm down. The potential of market conditions lies in its volatility and not in tranquility.

- Traders also study the advantages of short-term and long-term trading. They will obtain helpful techniques to gain profits. The bid and ask price should be well understood in relation to profits.

- Forex simulators enable the traders to weigh the effects of trading with too much caution. The incremental profit on small scales does not make any difference. Placing stop losses that are too tight can increase the risk of trading failures.

- Traders can choose whether to become independent or work with a broker. The risks are clearly explained as well as the outcome of trades. In any case, traders should analyze risks themselves or seek advice from reputable sources to prevent committing trade mistakes.

Forex trading simulators can help traders develop helpful strategies before starting their trading businesses. Simulated Forex trading is worth its cost because it starts with a plan, proper knowledge, and skills to achieve success in the Foreign Exchange Market.

What Is Currency Trading?

2009-05-19T13:23:00.001+07:00

Currency trading is the largest market on the planet. It is estimated that in excess of US$2 trillion is traded every day. Compare this to the New York Stock Exchange's daily transactions of approximately US$50 billion, and you can see that the magnitude of the currency trading market exceeds all other equity markets in the world combined. The practice of currency trading is also commonly referred to as foreign exchange, Forex, or FX, for short.

All currency has a value relative to other currencies on the planet. Currency trading uses the purchase and sale of large quantities of currency to leverage the shifts in relative value into profit.

What is the FX market?

The FX market is different from other markets in some other key ways that are sure to raise eyebrows. Think that the EUR/USD is going to spiral downward? Feel free to short the pair at will. There is no uptick rule in FX as there is in stocks. There are also no limits on the size of your position (as there are in futures); so, in theory, you could sell $100 billion worth of currency if you had the capital to do it. If your biggest Japanese client, who also happens to golf with Toshihiko Fukui, the Governor of the Bank of Japan, told you on the golf course that BOJ is planning to raise rates at its next meeting, you could go right ahead and buy as much yen as you like. No one will ever prosecute you for insider trading should your bet pay off. There is no such thing as insider trading in FX; in fact, European economic data, such as German employment figures, are often leaked days before they are officially released.

Which currencies are Traded?

Although some retail dealers trade exotic currencies such as the Thai baht or the Czech koruna, the majority trade the seven most liquid currency pairs in the world, which are the four majors:

EUR/USD (euro/dollar)
USD/JPY (dollar/Japanese yen)
GBP/USD (British pound/dollar)
USD/CHF (dollar/Swiss franc)

and the three commodity pairs:

AUD/USD (Australian dollar/dollar)
USD/CAD (dollar/Canadian dollar)
NZD/USD (New Zealand dollar/dollar)

These currency pairs, along with their various combinations (such as EUR/JPY, GBP/JPY and EUR/GBP) account for more than 95% of all speculative trading in FX. Given the small number of trading instruments - only 18 pairs and crosses are actively traded - the FX market is far more concentrated than the stock market.

Forex Future Trading

2009-05-19T13:18:00.000+07:00

The profits of forex over currency futures trading are significant. The difference between the two instruments range from truth-seeking realities such as the history of each, their objective viewers, and their importance in the modern forex markets, to more concrete issues such as transactions fees, margin necessities, access to liquidity, easiness of use and the technical and educational support obtainable by sources of each service. These dissimilarities sketched below:

More Volume = Improved Liquidity. Daily money futures volume on the CME is now above 2% of the volume seen each day in the forex markets. Incomparable liquidity is one of many advantages that forex markets clutch more currency futures. The truth told this is old news. Any currency professional can tell you that cash has been king since daybreak of the modern currency markets in the early 1970's. The actual news is that individual dealers from every forex risk profile now have full right to use to the opportunities offered in the forex markets.

Forex markets give tighter bid to offer increases than currency futures markets. By reversing the futures cost to evaluate it to cash, you can willingly see that in the USD/CHF example over, inverting the futures selling price of .5894 - .5897 results in a currency price of 1.6958 - 1.6966, 8 pips vs. the 5-pip increase available in the forex currency markets.

Forex markets offer higher advantage and lower margin charge than those found in currency futures trading. When trading currency futures, buyers have one margin charge for "day" buy and sells and another for "overnight" situations. These forex margin rates can differ depending on business size. When trading cash markets, you have admission to the same margin rates day and night. Certainly, trading on margin enlarges equally your fx profits AND your losses.

Forex markets make use of easily understood and across the world used terms and cost quotes. Currency futures quotes are inversions of the cash value. For instance, if the cash price for USD/CHF is 1.7100/1.7105, the future corresponding is .5894/ .5897; a method followed only in the limits of futures trading.

Currency futures charges have the added difficulty of with an advance forex part that takes into account a time factor, interest rates and the interest disparities flanked by different currencies
. The forex markets need no such changes, mathematical manipulation or thought for the interest rate factor of futures agreements.

Forex trades performed through FOREX.com are charge free*. Currency futures have the extra baggage of trading commissions, trade fees and defrayal fees.

Choose the Right Currencies for Forex Trading

2009-05-19T13:13:00.000+07:00

Forex market is operating through electronic network of banks, corporate firms and individuals without any central body and central exchange. Money from all over the world is used for trading in the forex market. For example, a broker might buy a pound when the pound to dollar ratio increases, then sell the pounds and buy back American dollars for a profit.

If you are entering to the currency trading it’s really difficult to decide the best currencies to trade with. Choosing the right currency is like wining the half battle. Prices of the currencies are influenced by several factors like political conditions of the issuing country, social and economic conditions. Stability of the market, interest rates, inflation also plays a major role in the price raising or falling.

Each currency playing in the Forex market is given its own three letter code that is used in the Forex quotes. USD (U.S. dollars), GBP (United Kingdom pounds), JPY (Japanese yen), CAD (Canadian dollars), EUR (European euros), AUD (Australian dollars) and CHF (Swiss francs) are the top currencies used in the forex market. The prices of the foreign currency exchanges are specified in pairs by the forex quotes. By using a currency pair of U.S. dollars and Japanese Yens means that the first currency is the base (which is always at 1) and the second currency is the quote. The quote currency or second currency shows how much it costs to buy one unit of the USD, or base currency)

Apart from the above mentioned top currencies there are some other one’s which are not on the top but are able to make some good investments. CNY (China yuan), CZK (Czech koruna), HKD (Hong Kong dollar), HUF (Hungarian Forint), INR (Indian Rupee), KRW (Korean Won), MXN (Mexican Peso), PLN (Polish Zloty), SGD (Singapore dollar), ZAR (South African Rand), and THB (Thai Baht).

Try to concentrate on the major pairs as they are the top traded and therefore charting patterns and technical indicators are generally more reliable. These pairs have the tightest spreads. This is extremely important because you really don't want to be trading pairs that have wide spreads simply because it limits your profits more and puts added pressure on you to make correct calls.

Another factor to be considered is location and time at which you are available for trading. For example, the GBP/USD is most active between around 8.00 GMT and 20.00 GMT, and if you are based in Australia due to time difference you would miss most of the action if you wanted to trade in the daytime.

It’s generally recommended to stick to three of the four major currency pairs – GBP/USD, EUR/USD and USD/JPY but the emerging currencies can also make profit if traded wisely. Sticking to the right currency and playing with it will let you high in the currency trading game and you will always touch the profit. There aren't really any best currencies to trade; each pair is potentially very profitable.

We cannot say that it is very easy to make money in forex trading, but it isn’t really difficult also. It is the smart work that matters than hard work in trading currency market. Following are the essential tips on how to avoid usual pitfalls and start making more money in forex trading.

Trade in pairs not in currency- Like any relationship; you need to know both the sides. Success or failure in forex currency trading relies upon being right about both foreign currencies and how they contact each other, not just one.

Understand the basics - When you start to trading currency online, it is indispensable that you understand the basics of this particular market if you desire to make the most of your investments. The chief forex influencer is worldwide news and other related events. Most newcomers respond aggressively to news like this and close their positions and next miss out on some of the most excellent trading chances by waiting until the market goes down. The latent in the forex market is in the instability, not when it is clam.

Self-government - If in case you are fresher to forex, you would either choose to trade your own money or to have a forex broker trading it for you. It is good but your risk of losing augments tremendously if you either of these two things: you also need to interfere with what your forex broker do on your behalf; seek counsel from too many other sources - many input would only result in multiple losses. Take a location, ride with it and then analyze the result - by yourself, for yourself.

Small margins – Small margin trading is one of the leading benefits in trading forex as it permits you to do trading in the amounts far bigger than the total of your deposits. However, it could as well be risky to beginner traders as it could demand to the voracity factor, which wipes out many forex traders. The best guideline is to boost your leverage in line with your skill and success.

Trade during Off-Peak Hours - Professional FX traders, option traders, and other hedge funds mobs a wide benefit over small retail traders in off-peak hours (usually between 2200 CET and 1000 CET) as they could hedge their place and move them around when there is far tiny trade volume is going through (that simply means that their risk is smaller).

Trade on the news - Most of the actually big trade market moves arise around news time. Trading volume is lofty and the moves are very important; this means there is no superior time to trade than when news is actually released. This is when the big players alter their places and prices alter resulting in a somber currency flow.

Confidence - Confidence comes from winning forex trading. If you lose money early in your trading career it's extremely hard to gain it back; the ploy is not to go off half-cocked; study the forex business before you start to trade. Keep in mind, knowledge is power.

An introduction to Forex Money Management

2009-05-15T09:09:00.000+07:00

Forex trading money management is one of the most imperative things you must learn before you really start up with live trades. The Forex money management principles discussed here would further teach you how to keep yourself away from the expensive mistakes many fresh forex traders make, frequently to the degree that they lose their full investment on the first few trades. Psychology is actually the most key factor to money management when it comes to forex trading. You have to be clever to separate yourself from any touching affection you might have got to your money. This is not extremely simple to do, but it works and it could be really done.

First and foremost, you have to mull over leverage and risk. It is sensible that you by no means risk more than two percent of your account stability on any forex trade. However, some go beyond and permit for as much as ten percent, but in no way more than that. This gives you the capability to endure market fluctuations in forex, and if the trade goes poor, you yet have money to try again. You must never function under the hypothesis, which you would profit from each trade. You must as well plan for losses. Therefore, most forex traders would tell you that the most excellent thing to do is to keep your gains big and your losses less. Develop your forex trading strategy around this idea.

Keep a proper track of your gains and losses. Keeping correct and detailed records of your forex account commotion would permit you to see whether or not the forex trading strategy is working, or if it requires being rebuilt. Never go blindly into trading without a means to keep follow of results. You would surely lose all of your money and never know why it happened.

Finally, it is extremely advisable that you first carry out a strategy on a forex demo account. Nearly all forex brokers provide a virtual demo account upon which you make trades in real-time, but with fantasy money, so nothing is risked. This is the most excellent way to test a strategy before you put your real money on the line.

Forex Trading – 3 Simple Tips To Make Money Fast

2009-05-15T09:05:00.000+07:00

If you are just starting out in forex trading or an experienced trader not making the gains you would like then these 3 tips are for you. There simple to learn easy to apply and could help you make triple digit annual gains so lets look at them.

1. Trade Less For Bigger Profits

Most traders think that they need to be in the market All the time in case they miss a move or the more they trade the more likely they are to be successful – but this is totally incorrect.

In Forex trading you make your money from being Right and that’s it – the effort you put in does not affect the amount of money you make. In fact in most instances the harder you try and more you trade, the greater your chances of failure.

Why?

Quite simply because the high odds trades don’t come around that often.

This philosophy is based on the famous Pareto principle the 80 / 20 rule.

The rule states that 80% of your results come from 20% of your activities.

This is true in many areas of life including trading Forex.

In forex trading by focusing on the trades with the best odds and ignoring the others, you can improve your profits overall.

By only focusing on this 20%, you will see bigger gains. This is really a common sense rule, yet few Forex traders stop to think about it. Most trade too much and try and force profits but if they were disciplined, patient and only focused on the best trades they would win more.

I know a trader who only trades about 6 times a year and yet they make over 100% annualized gains!
Think about trading less and you will see the logic of the above argument.

2. Don’t Diversify

When you do this resist the allure of diversification, it may reduce risk but if you have a high odds trade, why dilute its potential profit by diversifying with a marginal trade?

If you have a high odds trade go for it and this leads directly on to the next point.

3. Risk More Per Trade

As you only have one trade to focus on and it’s a good one risk as much as you can afford on it forget the accepted investment wisdom of 2 or 5% risk 10 25% minimum – if you believe in the trade go for it.

This is not being rash – its simply acknowledging an investment fact:

Risk goes with reward and the more you risk the more you can make.

This doesn’t mean being rash but your better to risk a lot on a high odds trade, than risk a little on a number of trades with poor profit potential.

Finally – To Make BIG Profits Learn To Love RISK!

The reason most traders never make any money is they are so afraid of risk they actually create it. They trade marginal trades, don’t risk enough and dilute their profit potential.

The fact is if you want to trade currencies you need to enjoy risk and be a speculator and confront and conquer risk – If you do you will make a lot of money. On the other hand if you don’t enjoy risk – don’t trade Forex.

Forex Trading Strategy – Why You Cant Predict Currency Prices!

2009-05-15T08:57:00.000+07:00

A fatal mistake made by many novice Forex traders is they think they need to predict where prices will go to win in there Forex trading strategy. You don’t have to predict to win and if you try predicting you will lose – let’s examine why in more detail.

If you are predicting the future you are simply hoping or guessing – know one knows what will happen.

Let’s look at a common example in currency trading.

A trader sees a support level and wants to buy a dip into support so he waits for the price to dip to the level and executes his trading signal.

What he is doing is doing what many currency traders do - buying a dip but he is simply hoping the level will hold.

The professional forex trader knows that predicting is a waste of time and money and acts on confirmation only.

Use Momentum To CONFIRM

Rather than buying into a support level and hoping it holds they wait for proof that it has held by watching momentum indicators – when the prices turn up above support they enter.

They are not predicting they are trading the reality of price change and this is what you must do to if you want to win with your forex trading strategy.

Great momentum indicators to put in your Forex trading strategy are: The Relative Strength Index and the Stochastic. If you don’t know how they work look them up.

Scientific Theories

A common myth in currency trading is that you can predict the future. Step forward all the scientific theories that predict such as WD Gann and Elliot wave.

They don’t work and the reason is pretty obvious – if prices could be predicted we would all know the price in advance and there would be no market. It is the uncertainty and different opinions that make a market.

When you are trading currency markets you can’t predict as although human nature is constant it is also un predictable and this makes trading an odds game.

If you are trading the odds then you need to act on the reality of confirmation NOT Hope or guess.

So if you have been simply buying dips to support and not getting proof that it will hold before trading look up how momentum indicators work now!

10 Strategies On How To Successfully Trade Forex With Automatic Trading Robots

2009-05-14T12:30:00.000+07:00

A Forex Expert Advisor (also know by other names such as Forex Trading Robot, EA, MT4 EA, Automated Forex Trading Software) is a mechanical trading system written in the MQL-4 programming language and designed to automate trading activities on the MetaTrader 4 platform.

Hundreds of brokers and system developers are enticing new traders into trading the Forex market with claims of double digit or higher returns in a short space of time.The reality is that 95% of new traders lose their trading bank in the first couple of months. How can you ensure that you are part of the successful 5%?

Here are 10 strategies that can help you achieve quick success when first starting off as a Forex trader.

1) Get familiar with the Forex market. You can’t possibly hope to successfully trade a market that you do not understand. Don’t listen to all the hype that “newbies” can buy an automatic system and be successful immediately. The Forex is a very exciting market but you need to read and learn about this beast before trying to trade it.

2) Purchase a commercially available Expert Advisor (automatic trading system) that offers a user support forum. There are systems that you can get for free, but if you are just starting out you should consider purchasing a system that provides good customer support and also offers a user forum where you can read about the problems and the solutions encountered by fellow traders.

3) Choose the system before you choose the broker. Different Expert Advisors trade on different currency pairs and different brokers offer different spreads. Once you know exactly what and how your system will be trading, you can then shop around for the best broker.

4) Choose a reputable broker who offers the MetaTrader4 trading platform free. There a literally hundreds of brokers now offering MT4, but some are more reputable than others. Only choose a regulated broker. User forums often contain discussions on broker performance.

5) Learn how to use MetaTrader 4. Make an effort to fully familiarize yourself with the trading platform so that you can set up your Expert Advisor up correctly and not make silly parameter errors. When in doubt, read the manual.

6) Know the difference between fixed and variable spreads: Some brokers offer fixed spreads and are usually market makers. Other types of brokers, like ECN brokers, offer variable spreads. Make sure you understand the effect this has on how your particular system trades as it can have a significant impact on your returns.

7) Experiment with micro lots when breaking in a new system. Brokers offer a range of lot sizes - there are standard mini and micro lots. Make sure you know the difference before you trade and choose only a micro lot account if you have a small trading bank or are just starting out with a new system.

8) Open a demo account. Most if not all brokers will offer a demo account which you can practise with before risking real money. If you are trading a new system or are new to trading it is a good idea to experiment for a period on a demo account first.

9) Start trading with small risk. Ensure you understand the value of each pip for the currency pair(s) you trade in your new system. There are pip calculators available on the Internet that will provide this information quickly for you.

10) Never get greedy. Never raise your risk above the recommended levels for the system you are trading. The user forums are often a good source of commentary on risk levels for a particular system.

Conclusion: Choosing the right broker and the right type of account is just as important as choosing the right system. If you need more help in choosing the right system, check out the live results and detailed reviews for top selling systems on http://www.forexrobotshop.com.

Forex Trading - 6 Simple Tips To Increase Your Profit Potential

2009-05-14T12:24:00.000+07:00

Forex trading looks simple but few succeed. A lot of the so called investment wisdom doesn’t work and is given by people who have never traded in their lives.

Here we will give some simple tips that will help you increase your profit potential.

1. Get a simple method you understand

In forex trading many people think that the more complicated a method they use in forex trading the more likely they are to make money.

The fact is however that simple systems work best.

Simple systems are more robust and easier to trade with discipline, as you understand the logic and can therefore follow it with confidence when it has a losing period.

You can build one yourself easily and we have written frequently on this and it’s easy to do.

2. Trade the big trends

Forget day trading (we have written several articles why) it’s guaranteed to lose you money, stick to catching the big long term trends that make the big profits.

3. Work smart not hard

Once you have a system your happy with that’s it. People go on about working hard in forex trading to educate yourself but once you have your system stick with it.

The market doesn’t give you extra dollars for effort, you get your reward for trading correctly.

4. Trade Infrequently

Many traders trade frequently and always like to be in the market and in on the action.

The big moves in FOREX trading, with optimum risk to reward, come just few times a year, so don’t trade for the sake of trading wait for these moves – These are the ones that will make you the big profits and that’s why you’re trading.

5. Money Management

In forex trading most traders can see moves and be right about market direction but they can’t hold a trend.

They get in, get stopped out quickly, then see the market reverse back in the direction of their trade and pile up $10,000 or more and their not in!

The reason for this is traders have not grasped money management.
When trading they do the following:

Place stops to close to entry and get taken out by volatility of the market. I have seen traders put stops right at the first support in an up trend and of course they get taken out.

Forex trading is risky, so you need to place your stop far enough away from the market action to allow for volatility.

This is not being rash, but to make money you have to risk it.

Placing stops to close to entry and not taking enough risk dooms most traders to fail - Don’t make the same mistake.

Also when you have a profit don’t move the stop up to quickly, be patient and give the trade room to breathe – The big trends last months or years and to say with them you need to accept short term swings against you.

Its tough watching open profit dip, but keep your eye on the bigger picture and the bigger profits.

6. The key to success

The key to success in forex trading is to do the following:

Apply Simple Method + With Discipline + Calculated Risks = Forex trading success

While it is a simple equation most forex traders
don’t do this. There always looking for a short cut or easy way to make money and in forex trading.

So there you have 5 simple tips understand and apply them and rely on yourself and you could make some big profits forex trading.

Success In Forex Trading Markets

2009-05-14T12:20:00.000+07:00

The more you know about them, the more data you have to analyze to spot the trends, which will increase your chances of success.

The foreign currency market is one of the most exciting attractive and lucrative markets in the world, but it is also extremely fast moving and volatile. While you can make tremendous profits, you can also make substantial losses if you do not have a very clearly defined game plan. At the heart of Forex trading is a wealth of information which has to be not only constantly updated but which also has to be accurate.

The principle behind technical analysis is simply that, while political, economic and social factors do drive the forex market, it is not necessary to study them in depth because history repeats itself and these factors in whatever combination you choose have occurred time and again in the past so their affect can be seen by simply studying the historical pattern of currency movements. Fundamental analysis thus looks at political events and economic data such as inflation, interest rates and trade figures, as well as social data such as employment rates.

Too often you will see sites that are promoting ways in which you can get rich through Forex trading as long as you purchase their book for $100. The prices vary but one thing is certain the beginner must study the market before investing any significant money. Technical analysis holds that prices follow trends and that markets possess clearly identifiable patterns which can be recognized if you know what you are looking for.

Perhaps one area of general agreement however is that analysis of a country's balance of payments is crucial to the success of fundamental analysis. The balance of payments is important because it reflects the flow of currency in and out of a country and a situation in which money is flowing into a country faster than it is flowing out, or vice versa, will clearly affect currency prices. For this reason the very first thing that any novice forex trader needs to do is to sit down, study the foreign exchange markets carefully and learn the ins and outs of trading before putting any money at risk.

Both knowledge and experience play an important role in technical analysis but here it is a case of knowledge and experience of not just the patterns in the market but of working with the barrage of tools which are know available to the technical analyst. In other words an analysis of, for example, the effect that rising or falling interest rates have had on currency prices in the past is used to predict the effect that a rise or fall in rates today will have.

Today’s forex traders have the option to abandon fundamental analysis in favour of technical analysis. Perhaps one area of general agreement however is that analysis of a country's balance of payments is crucial to the success of fundamental analysis. Historical data is then used as the basis for predicting movements in the light of current figures. Analyzing just how forex prices will be affected is of course something which is hotly debated by fundamental analysts.

Accordingly, the main tool of the technical analyst is the chart, or more accurately a series of charts, which provides a graphical representation of the market over time. Your broker will make his profit from the 'spread' on each trade, which is the difference between the buying and selling price of a currency pair and is a subject all of its own. Both technical and fundamental analyses are of course not in themselves trading strategies but are the foundation on which you will need to build your trading strategy.

Unfortunately a lot of people starting out in Forex trading have often heard that you can make good money through day trading. Look at the various tools and systems that are available and soon you will discover that you are able to trade on the markets much more easily after just a couple of weeks. So if you do not want to end up in the same situation as many before you, here are some tips in relation to Forex currency trading online that can help you gain more and lose less.

The more you know about them, the more data you have to analyze and spot trends, which will increase your chances of success. Although this is easier said than done, you can't get greedy or nervous and ignore what it tells you. Simple Forex trading systems work much better than the more complicated types. As like many before you, when you first start trading on the Forex market you will soon realize that a lot of the traders lose money rather than gain. If you include these few tips to any plan you are devising for your Forex currency online trading then you should soon be on your way to making some decent money.

Forex market offers opportunity and information

2009-05-14T12:14:00.000+07:00

The forex market is what is called an international exchange currency market
, where currencies are exchanged on a daily basis. There are five forex market centers around the world – New York, London, Tokyo, Frankfurt and Zurich. One does not need to be on the trading floor, so to speak to be involved in the forex market. Today, forex trading can be done from home on a computer.

The forex market itself is basically a worldwide connection of traders, who make investment moves based on the price of currencies, or their values relative to other currencies. These traders constantly negotiate prices with other traders resulting in the fluctuation or movement of a currency’s value. The value of a currency on the forex market also corresponds with supply. If there is greater demand for the Euro, let’s say, then there will be less supply of it on the forex market, which means, in time, it will make a Euro more valuable compared to let’s say the dollar. In short, in this forex market situation, one Euro would yield more dollars, subsequently weakening the dollar as well. Analyzing the forex market’s fluctuations allows investors to make predictions on how a currency will move in relation to another currency. They then can make predictions and buy and sell currency accordingly.

While some people view the forex market as a place to see what their exchange rate will be when they travel abroad, others view it as an opportunity to make great gains in their financial planning and future.

When you come across these currencies in the market you will see them written as a pair: USD/JPY (U S Dollar and Japanese Yen), EUR/USD (Euro and U S Dollar), USD/CHF (U S Dollar and Swiss Franc) and GBP/USD (British Pound and U S Dollar).

The vast majority of all day trades of foreign currency involve these five major currencies. Your goal as a trader is to pick out which currency will appreciate against another. If you can find or develop a system that will allow you to choose the correct direction a currency will be taking it is possible to make good profits in the FX market.

Most trades on the FX market are done by Forex brokers and dealers at major banking institutions across the globe. And since it is a world wide market that makes it a 24 hour a day market. The brokers or dealers work in different shifts so that major institutional traders can perform their trades 24 hours a day around the clock.

However, don't be alarmed. You do not have to be awake all day and all night to trade the market. It is a simple matter of placing stop orders with brokers to buy or sell at pre-determined price levels even while you are sleeping. If your pre-specified price points are met the order will go through as planned. If your price points are not met the orders will not be placed or carried out. This is the key to stopping potentially big losses. You'd hate to be asleep when the market turned against you without a way to get out. Having specified price levels can save you a lot of stress in the market place. With stop orders you don't have to constantly follow your currencies every second of the day. You can place your orders and then go about your normal daily routine.

The FX is unlike stock exchanges in that stock exchanges can be very volatile. The FX market is ordinarily a great deal smoother and doesn't gyrate up and down as quickly or rapidly. The market is actually very easy to trade and is very liquid, meaning you can get your money in or out at any time. Placing an order can be done in a matter of seconds. If you have the temperament for this type of activity it can be a very worthwhile endeavor.

Currency Trading – Using Price Velocity for Massive Gains

2009-05-14T12:09:00.000+07:00

In currency trading the direction of the trend is important but if you want to know if a trend is going to carry on or reverse you need to look at price velocity and shifts in momentum – if you do you can make huge gains.

For example, a price maybe tending up - but if its speed of increase is declining, then you could have an advance warning of a price reversal.

Most traders don’t bother looking at price momentum or velocity - but if you do you will have a huge advantage, by being able to stay with the strongest trends and getting advance warnings of reversals. .

Fact:

If you study price momentum, you will increase the odds of success dramatically and any trader should look at momentum and velocity.

Confirming Trends

When entering a trade for example it’s not enough to just have a price break a level of resistance it needs to do so with rising momentum.

On the other hand, if you think a price is going to reverse into resistance you need to watch price velocity and momentum turn and go the opposite way before executing your signal.

Not only do you have the trend on your side, you also have price momentum and that’s a huge advantage to have.

If you don’t know anything about momentum indicators then its time to learn and make it an essential part of your forex education.

If you want three great ones to stat with then look at:

The Stochastic, The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Average Directional Movement (ADX) We don’t have time to cover these individually here but if look up our other articles you will see all the advantages of utilizing them in your forex trading strategy.

Long Term Fundamentals + Investor Psychology = Price Movement

Markets are driven by the long term fundamentals - but humans will spike prices up or down too far in either direction, as they respond to the emotions - of greed and fear.

When you have a rising price trend and falling momentum it means the buying is coming to an end and a recoil is likely.

In forex trading you need to keep in mind that:

Markets will wrong foot anyone who tries to follow a trend via a trend line or moving average and that’s why the pro traders get advance warnings of declines and rises in price, by looking and acting on momentum.

Increasing The Odds

Use momentum indicators and you will get the odds more in your favour and if you do this you will enjoy greater currency trading success. Fail to use momentum indicators and you will not time your trading signals correctly and lose with the majority of forex traders.

Forex Scalping For Beginners

2009-05-14T12:08:00.000+07:00

Forex scalping is one of the most popular ways for new traders to get into forex trading and offers the appeal of regular profits and low risk. In this article we are going to cover all the facts related to forex scalping for beginners, so lets get started.

Forex scalping in essence, looks to trade within daily time frames making small regular profits, using tight stops to generate big profits overtime - the big problem is it has never worked and never will.

Why?

Because the logic it is based on is simply incorrect and if you read on, we will tell you why and show you the evidence, which shows why one of the best ways to lose money in forex trading is forex scalping.

Let’s take a look at the market first and how they move.

We have trillions of dollars traded daily, by millions of different traders and to say that you can say what this vast mass of traders is going to do in such a short time frame, as a few hours is laughable.

Fact:

All short term volatility is random.

This means that prices can and do go anywhere in a day – support and resistance levels are not valid, so it doesn’t matter how good your technical indicators are they will fail in this random environment.

I have seen successful track records though!

Sure you have – and their sold by vendors with a vested interest.

There are loads of them and they are all designed to bring forex scalping to beginners - for a few hundred bucks you get rich, sure you do.

Take a reality check!

These vendors make money selling forex scalping systems, NOT trading them - their far too clever for that.

What you will see is an unbelievable track record that shows great profits with little or now drawdown and common sense tells you that if it’s too good to be true and it most are!

Many traders however fall for the ploy and buy the system, lose and wonder why.

If they were to take a closer look at the forex scaling track records presented, they will see the words “hindsight” or “simulation” written all over the track record as a disclaimer.

What does this mean?

Well – the track record is done in hindsight and simulated, knowing the closing prices!

How hard is that?

My eight year old daughter could do that and so could anyone who can read and write and you can to – these track records are totally meaningless and really not worth the paper their written on.

You can of course find a real-time track record but you will spend a long time in your search – I have spent 25 years trying, so if you find one let me know.

The fact is forex scalping for beginners takes advantage of naive and gullible investors who think winning is easy and they don’t stop to think about the reasons these systems cannot and never will work

If You Want to Win

You need to trade the odds and that means using time frames that allow you to get the odds in your favour and this means trading longer term.

If you are a beginner at forex trading and want to get a forex education that will help you win look at forex swing trading or long term trend following here you work with valid data and can get the odds on your side.

Avoid forex scalping and forex day trading and like I said earlier if you find a real time track record let me know.

Factors that Affect Forex Trading

2009-05-14T12:00:00.002+07:00

There are several external factors that affect Forex currency trading. These factors include trade reports, GDP, unemployment, international trade, manufacturing etc. The growth or decline in these factors affects a country’s currency value.
Foreign exchange is a continuous global market, providing a 24-hour market access to its players. Since it is open only 5 days a week, so weekend is the closing period. Although foreign exchange is the most liquid of all markets, the fact that it is an international market and trading 24-hours a day, the time of day can have a direct impact on the liquidity available for trading a particular currency.
The major centers and time zones are that of Sydney, Tokyo, London, and New York. Therefore, forex alerts must consider which players are in the market, since in the modern interconnected financial world, events that occur at any hour, in any part of the globe, can affect some or all parts of the investment community.
In forex trading, you are not ignorant like one remains in stock for a considerable period of time about the news affecting the liquidity of a stock. In stock market, you come to know about inside trading, revision in earnings only after the market has reacted upon it.
But in forex currency trading, this is not the case. Here you get various forex signals. Significant information affecting a particular currency becomes known to everyone in the trade instantaneously. There isn’t anything as insider trading in a forex market.
There are many online forex trading startegy sites. They all maintain a global economic calendar. This calendar indicates the major forthcoming economic, financial and business related events all over the world and which can have important bearing on foreign exchange market. What you have to do is to keep a track of all important events and news.
Certainly, it will not be an easy task to watch constantly all the factors affecting foreign exchange trading market. They change in importance over time and condition.

Most important GDP figures that affect forex trading are of USA, Japan, Canada, Australia and Britain. China is also expected to be a major force in online paper trading in near future.
Central banks play a significant role in the forex market because they have the responsibility of changing the country’s “base” interest rate. A central bank has to maintain growth in the economy in accordance with inflation, so it creates a good balance in interest rates. The bank’s decisions on whether to raise, cut, or hold the interest rate fuels speculation in the forex market, where the value of a currency, or group of currencies, changes in real time. Natural disasters, terrorist attacks, and militarily actions in a sensitive region can have a significant impact on the forex market as they create a disturbance in the world.

Eliminating Risks of FOREX Investing

2009-05-14T11:52:00.000+07:00

It is quite unwise to remain under the notion that FOREX trading is free of risks; just as some websites would have you believe. If you are going to trade in heavy sums of money, chances are that the trades will work in your disfavor. But, a wise investor will know exactly how to identify and avoid those risks. Such an investor could make great profits at the FOREX.

The FOREX is rife with scams. Of course, the incidences of these scams have gone pretty low in recent years, but that doesn’t mean one will trade in it throwing all caution to the winds. You must be very particular about your broker; it helps to do some background check to verify credentials. If the broker is affiliated to a reputable bank, insurance company or some such financial institution, then you may be well confident of his/her genuineness. The registering body for FOREX traders is Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) or the broker must be a member of the National Futures Association (NFA). It is also advisable to get a report from the Better Business Bureau and the Consumer Protection Bureau.

There are several more risks that one needs to know of, even after getting a reputable broker. The following are some of the risks:-
(i) There are unexpected rate changes at the FOREX that the trader must know about. Fluctuations can occur while the trading is still going on. If prices fall, then there could be severe losses to the trader. These could be minimized by issuing stop orders, but all traders may not be aware of this order. A stop loss order will close all the positions if the currency prices fall lower than a predetermined cutoff. There are also limit orders that close the positions when a profit target is achieved. A wise investor will make use of both the stop loss and the limit orders in order to reduce losses and make profits at the FOREX.
(ii) Sometimes the interest rates of two countries are different. If this happens in the FOREX quote, then there could be a deviation from the projected profit or loss.
(iii) Lack of honesty is occasionally encountered at the FOREX. If one of the parties in the transaction dishonors their debt when the deal is closed, there could be a credit risk. This could also happen when the party declares insolvency.
(iv) Governments of the countries associated at the FOREX could limit the flow of currency. This is seen much more in the lesser-used currencies in the FOREX.

Even though there are so many risks at the FOREX, there are also ways in which these risks can be reduced or even eliminated. The first step in reducing risks is to develop a strategy including a plan of when to enter and when to exit the market. This would require a good research of market trends of the FOREX in advance. Also, the wisest investor is one who put only that excess money in the FOREX which doesn’t make much difference to the financial position if lost.

Knowing about the technical analysis and how to read and understand the financial charts is very important. These can be learnt through the internet and by reading books written by FOREX gurus.

However, the greatest of education cannot guarantee profit-making at the FOREX. This is because the market can move in unpredictable ways. Stop loss orders and limit orders must be used to prevent losses from any eventualities.

Most traders use stop loss orders. But even these need careful understanding of the market trends. If the trader is looking for a long position and expecting the price to rise, then the stop loss order would be ideally placed at below the current market price. The converse is also true.

Let us understand this with an example. Suppose a trader takes a short position with the following quote:
USD/CDN = 1.2138/43
This quote means that the trader can sell 1 USD for 1.2138 CDN or sell 1.2143 CDN for 1 USD. Let us also suppose that the investor is taking a short position.

In the above case, a good order would be:
Sell USD: 1 standard lot USD/CDN @ 1.2138 = $121,380 CDN
Pip Value: 1 pip = $10
Stop Loss: 1.2148
Margin: $1,000 (1%)

Here the trader is selling 100,000 USD and buying 121,380 CDN. If the USD value goes above 1.2148, then the stop loss order would be executed. Here, the trader would lose $100.

But if the USD/CDN falls to 1.2118/23, the trader can sell 1 USD for 1.2118 CDN or sell 1.2123 CDN for 1 USD. Since the trader entered in the transaction by selling USD, then he/she must now buy back the USD and sell CDN to make the profit. So, the trader buys back 100,000 USD at the current rate for a total cost of 121,233 CDN. Since the original sale was for 121,380 CDN, the trader would have made a profit of 157 CDN or 129.51 USD.

Forex Day Trading - Why You Will NEVER Win At It

2009-05-14T11:49:00.000+07:00

The biggest myth in forex trading is that you will make money at it, you won't. If you are considering day trading then you need to look at one key fact that will guarantee that you will lose.

This is the fact:

All short term volatility is random.

If you think about it it’s obvious – millions of traders are trading each day, trillions of dollars change hands and to say that you can predict what they will do in a matter of hours is laughable.

Volatility is random and can and does take prices anywhere in short periods.

Support and resistance levels are meaningless, as are any other technical indicator you care to pick.

Tehcncial indicators only work on data where you can calculate the odds and in day trading you may as flip a coin and you success rate would be the same over time.

Most traders have no interest in daily levels (apart from the small minority of losing day traders) you have central banks, hedgers, large funds and successful speculators and they pay no attention to daily levels.

Where’s the evidence?

You will see more day trading systems sold online than any other type of forex trading system and they all make grand claims:

80% profits per day, scalp 20 pips each day earn $15,000 a month guaranteed etc

And do they have any evidence to back up their claims? NEVER

All they produce are meaningless track records which are always hypothetical ( check their disclaimers ) and there done in hindsight! – Let’s see, if I knew tomorrow’s closing price today I would be rich but I don’t have that luxury and neither do you.

You never get a track record of real profits done in the market, but that’s the REAL Test of a system.

95% of forex traders lose so its hard to make money anyway.

Buying an e-book or day trading system for a few hundred bucks and thinking you will make money will increase the odds to 100% - PERIOD.

If You Want To MAKE Money

Forget forex day trading and look at data where you can put the odds in your favour.

This means swing trading or long term trend following.

This gives data over a longer period that is PROVEN to increase the odds of success.

Day trading systems sell on copy, hyped claims and in many instances downright lies. Many offer you your money back if you buy one if you dont make money - but you have already lost more in the market!

Ask for a guarantee for the trading losses you are going to get back - now that would be a fairer guarantee!

If you want to win get real and trade the odds and that means looking longer term – enough said.
