Online Currency Trading Dominate The Market

By Chris Green

As someone new to online currency trading, many may find it a difficult task to make consistent successful trades. If this problem sounds familiar, you are not the only one with this dilemma. All of us have had our successful and flop days trading, sometimes it is a good ides to leave it and clear the mind.

With so many things affecting your online currency trading focus, it can be easy to get distracted. Many times when making a trade, it is most important to stay focused, it can have a major effect on your decision making. Being focused can be the difference of knowing when to let a trade go, and when to stay in. Don't let yourself be distracted.

In online currency trading, you may have heard the 20/80 rule, which can be applied to many things. This rule is pretty straight forward, if you have not heard of it, it is simply that 20 percent of the traders are making 80 percent of the profits. The reason this is like this, is that most traders aren't able to focus on the whole game plan.

When it comes to online currency trading, you may have seen "systems" out their that claim to make instant success and easy trades. I am sure you have seen these come and go. Profitable traders don't rely on just one system, they rely on many. Ever hear that age old expression "Don't put all your eggs in one basket"? This could not be any more true, it is a bad idea to have all your money invested into one thing. This applies to pretty well everything out there.

Sticking to one system for online currency trading is asking for a slow ride to any success. In order to become a wealthy trader, applying many systems to your day trading techniques and use them to your advantage. It can sometimes be a difficult process trying to find a system that works right for you. Once you find yourself a few good systems, don't forget to test them out for a few weeks to ensure that they can achieve consistent results. Once you have yourself good systems that have consistent results, it is a piece of cake from there. Don't let yourself fall into the slacking trader statistic of the 20/80 rule, dominate the market and be separate from the rest. - 23222

Are Automated Expert Advisors (EAs) Worth Considering?

By Ash Naeck

If you are familiar with Forex, I bet this is one of those questions that got your brain juices running.

At the start of my trading career, I spent countless hours looking for what I believe would be a perfect Expert Advisor. One with small draw-downs, good returns and that could make consistent profit in any market conditions. To cut this story short I had set myself for a never ending quest. The word "holy-grail" simply does not exist in the Forex world and it took me a lot of time and a large amount of wasted cash to realize this fact.

Why are we so obsessed about Automated Expert Advisors?

Here are some of the benefits of Expert Advisors to the everyday trader:

- System is on autopilot

- No sitting in front of the PC the whole day long looking for the right set-up

- Stress free

- Easy to install and use

- Easy to use

- No experience required

- Improve trading system

The above, outline the main points why traders seek the use of an Automated Expert Advisor. They do look attractive when put that way; however you should also consider the negative aspects as well.

If you've already done some research I doubt you will be surprised if I told you that there are thousands of automated currency providers on the net. They all seem to perform extremely well when you have a look at their performance page. Here are some of their most common sales pitches:

- Robot turns $1000 into $10000 in matter of days

- No losing Forex Robot that can turn $500 into $5000 in less than a month

- Make $1000 on autopilot every day

- Plug in and make money in a matter of minutes

If half of the above were true I would be sitting on a nice beach as we speak enjoying the sun and sipping on a cocktail, however, here I am sharing with you my experiences about automated expert advisors. Systems that promise to make you thousands overnight or 500%+ return per month are simply B.S. You are more likely to lose than actually make money.

If you have stumbled across this article before making any purchase consider yourself as being lucky. I am among the few people out there that will tell you the truth about Expert Advisors. Most expert advisors are just a waste of money. They don't and will never work. If they did, all the major Banks and Hedge Funds would sack their entire FX department and use those robots instead.

However, that is not the case. Banks and major financial institutions rely solely on their human minds (traders) to make money day in and day out on the market, not on the so called Robot traders. Those major institutions understand the fact that market conditions are not always in harmony and that price is highly unpredictable.

Forex robots are many a time designed my mathematicians or engineers who believe they cracked the code to Forex trading. Well no offence to them but if they have already cracked the code, why am I still not profitable. You see the nature of the Forex market is such that changes in market conditions cannot be predicted. This is due to news, catastrophes, political changes etc Do you believe those robots can take all those changes into account?

Here are some of the points to take into account when investing in a Forex Robot:

- Is the developer a successful Forex Trader (make sure he is well-known and has authority in the Forex arena)

- Live account results of the system (very important as the basis of your decision will rely heavily on that point)

- Live track record of the system (no back testing only live accounts)

Potential monthly return

- Maximum draw-down.

If all the above questions are ticked then you got yourself a potential winner.

I have spent a large sum of money over the years trying all sorts of Forex robots. The result was that I lost as much hair as I lost money! Quite frankly, I was quite disgusted with all those Experts advisors until the day I came across a guy named Ashkan Bolour.

Ashkan Bolour is a highly successful professional Forex trader and a money manager who has featured in well-known trading magazines and books. I started looking around to learn more about Ashkan and his automated trading system.

Well the results were quite amazing. It was not a system making 500% or even 100% return each month but it was making some very consistent profits with small draw-downs. If ever you are looking for a proven system backed by consistent profit made on live accounts, Ashkan Bolour's system, the FXprofit Mountain is a must. - 23222

Forex Trade

By Bart Icles

The trading of the different currencies in the world is termed as forex trade, and it involves the trading of paired currencies. This type of market is what is known as Forex, FX or Foreign Exchange. An example is the currency pair of the dollar and the euro. When a trader is actively trading the market, he will see the current currency pair he is involved at present on the forex quote screen. This can be seen at the top left hand corner, with the left currency being the quote currency, and the currency on the right side as the base currency.

Forex trading is usually made through a Forex broker, with the forex trader choosing the currency pair that he wants to participate in accordingly. Trade orders can be done almost instantaneously with just a few clicks of the mouse to the designated broker, who then passes the order along to the Interbank Market partner to fill the position. When the trade is closed, the broker closes the position on the Interbank Market and whatever the gains or losses are is then credited to the clients account.

Since the forex market and forex trading is not centralized and controlled by any central trading system, and happens simultaneously around the world, it virtually never closes. It operates 24 hours a day, with trade starting in Australia on a Sunday evening and ending when the market closes in New York on Friday.

Without virtually closing, and with trade transactions happening in many locations, forex traders are always provided with many price quotations for the many currency pairs being exchanged day in and day out. This gives them the chance to have a wide base of information as basis for whatever trade decisions they come up with, while also getting additional information and other relevant technical tips from various sources around the world. Forex trade is thus referred to as an Over the Counter (OTC) market due to this highly viable trading system.

One of the main advantages of forex trade is that it is highly liquid and offers traders of any type to move even very large sums of money in and out of trading with the movement having the least effect on its price. With forex trading having no restrictions for directional trading, the trader can trade any currency he surmises will decrease or increase in value and gain profit from buying or selling it.

Since forex trade involves the exchange of currencies in very high volumes, there is no fast and hard rule to follow. This is where speculation comes in, with the addition of market indicators such as the trade balances of leading economic countries and the prices of the major commodities at present. - 23222

An Introduction To A Forex Training On Fundamental Analysis

By Bart Icles

Managing risks is one of the most important things that forex traders should learn. Most forex training programs include risk management in their discussions, and managing risks can involve either fundamental or technical analysis. A fundamental analysis refers to the dynamic evaluation of specific plans, unpredictable behaviors, and unanticipated events that affect the economy of a certain individual, business, organization or country. A fundamental analysis mainly focuses on social, political, and economic forces that drive the trends of the supply of and demand for currencies.

A forex training program on fundamental analysis will help you understand the different factors that fundamentalists pay attention to. These factors can include bank policies, government policies, overall economic trends, natural disasters, and social stability. A fundamental analysis can help much in developing mid-term to long-term investment decisions. Forex investors and traders must take note though that fundamental analysis will not help much in day trading because a fundamental analysis mainly evaluates major economic, social, and political forces.

Fundamental analyses involve different kinds of evaluations of macroeconomic factors. A fundamentalist makes use of different economic indicators of a certain country to predict a sensible valuation of the currency of that country. These economic indicators typically include GDP growth rates, interest rates, retail sales, and unemployment rates. A fundamental analysis can also involve an assessment of consumer price index, industrial production reports, and manufacturing production.

Newcomers to the foreign exchange market typically ask why there is a need for fundamental analysis. Fundamental analyses have been developed out of the fact that the economic condition of a certain country directly affects the performance of its currency in the foreign exchange world. This also makes it important for forex investors and traders to keep an eye on financial calendars released by different countries and private sectors. However, traders and investors must understand that macroeconomic factors are not the only drivers of the performance of specific currencies - the valuation of currencies is also affected by many other things like technical factors, and third party reports.

A good forex training program will show you how you can use fundamental analysis while trading. It will show you how to use economic calendars including when and where to get copies of them. It will also give you tips on how you can keep yourself informed of the economic indicators that are getting much of the market's attention. Most importantly, it will help you understand the importance of knowing market expectations for data and whether or not expectations have been met. - 23222

Forex Strategies Manage Your Money

By Chris Green

When taking a look at forex strategies, it is good to adapt one that I call money management. Sounds simple enough doesnt it? Well it is and isnt. Using your money properly to leverage your trading potential is one of the most important strategies of forex. Knowing how much of your trading account to keep tied up in a trade is very important. You never want to put all your chips in one trade, sure you may make a huge profit, but you can also lose your entire trading account.

As far as money management in forex strategies, you should get it mastered first. Without having yourself properly managed, it will make the difference between profitable trades, and loss trades. At any given time it would be recommended to never use more than 50% of your trading account being tied up in a trade, or all your current active trades combined. You should only do as many trades as you can watch and be comfortable with. Rushing over trades is not a good idea.

Getting your forex strategies down or better yet your money management down, is important to master before trying to take on too many trades at one time. There is nothing worse then being in over your head and frustrated with trades. Once this happens it is very difficult to recover, this should not be made a habit.

Doing this can be a little secret to success, you never know what a long time experienced trader will show you. They could give you some amazing tips that could have taken years to figure out through trial and error. Test out your newly acquired strategy, and see if it works for you. What may work for one trader, may not always work for the other. Stick to the strategies that work for you.

After a short period of time you will find your forex strategies to be a tested and proven success result. After you build up a good handful of strategies, you will find that you want to soar even more. When looking at things to add to your trading that could substantially help, there is something amazing out there. There happens to be a little something you can add instantly that could double your profits! - 23222
