Currency Trading With Great Tips

Currency Trading With Great Tips

by Charles Nash

Currency trading with great tips can help you push your trading from mediocre to great. This is an exciting market to get into where you get to work from the comfort of your own home and generate an income solely by yourself. That may scare some, but it is liberating to others.
How important is the news?

I think it is very important, but you don't have to look at it that way. The way I view it is that it is free information. I get up in the morning, turn on the television and watch it while I drink my coffee. It's like my free personal consultant.

You need to pay particular attention to the news that is talking about the economy or will have an affect on the economy. The most important piece of news is an interest rate change by the central bank in your country. This basically signifies that the supply of money in the economy will change, which means the price of currency will change. You will also want to watch out for news on GDP, consumer spending and unemployment.

When should I trade?

I think the best time to trade is during the peak hours. This means there is a lot of people trading and a lot of money moving around. The reason to trade at this time is to ensure that market forces are in control and no one trader can manipulate the market. At this time a big bank could make a huge trade, and the affects would be minor because so many other people are trading. If you look at an off-peak time, this same bank could cause a currency to go in a completely opposite direction.

What software should I use?

The best software I've come across is Forex Killer. It is able to find profitable trends, so you can make more profitable trades. It also has automation features that allow the software to look after trades while you're away from the computer. It's like having a second employee that works 24hrs a day. It is an essential tool for your toolbox.
