Daily Forex Signals: Consolidation Can Be Used to Your Advantage

Consolidation Can Be Used to Your Advantage

If you have traded currencies for very long, you will notice times when price action seems to tighten up. If you drew a line along the falling highs and rising lows, price would look like a coil getting tighter and tighter.

A popular way to measure this consolidation is to look at a bollinger band that has been applied to the chart. If you load a EURCHF chart for 2009 you will see that the weeks leading into mid December was the tightest it has been in ten years. It actuall constricted to an amazing 23 points wide on the daily charts. Today's width of 53 has been hit 9 times in the last 10 years and in four of those years that contained 8 of those touches, the entire year was either consolidative, or reversed a prior years move.

Since this year was certainly consolidative, this points to a serious break out to the bottom continuing last years CHF strength or a reversal of last years CHF strength. Now that the case for the soon to come breakout is established, a look at possible direction is in order. A price channel break of the lower line suggests that further weakness is in store, and currently the PSAR supports that move with a stop around 1.5128

Whether you are looking for price to pull back or break out, finding consolidation area can be very effective when looking for trade opportunities in the Forex market. Use this consolidation to your advantage by trading breaks in the support and resistance of the coil, or top and bottom. Make sure that you also back test this strategy by using software that allows you to do so.

My Journey To Forex Trading - Creat Your Own Ression Proof Business With Forex

My Journey To Forex Trading - Creat Your Own Ression Proof Business With Forex

Have you been searching for a recession proof business? The business I have found is in trading the “foreign exchange market” or Forex. With the type of simple "anyone can learn" trading system taught by Sid Wyemann's Forex Training Works, I now have a safe recession proof business.

After 35 years of working in the construction field, I had climbed the ladder and became the project manager of a booming housing project. I thought it would never end, but as you know almost overnight the economy tanked and the construction bubble burst. I had found what I thought would be the job I would retire from. Now all I could do was watch, as the company I worked for slowly went out of business.

After a futile year of searching for another job in construction had gone by, I realized there was no market for my experience. Quite a helpless feeling and one you might also share.

I decided that it was time to start looking for a new source of income that would never again put me at the mercy of the economy. At about this time I spoke to a friend who told me he was taking a course in learning how to trade in the Forex market.

He had tried other Forex training courses in the past, but with little success. So when he told me about his latest venture I decided to wait and see how he did.

Another year passed for me with no change on the job market. So, I contacted my friend and he told me that after years of trying he was finally successfully trading the Forex market. He told me that as long as you followed the simple instructions laid out in the course, it would work for anyone.

That's when I decided it was time to check out what Sid Wyemann's Forex Training Works was all about.


As I scanned the home page I was immediately impressed with the no nonsense straightforward attitude exhibited there.

I also had the advantage of a ringing endorsement from my friend who had completed the course.

So I decided to take the plunge and signed up for the four week tutorial.

Before I took the Forex Training Works course I had absolutely zero knowledge of the Forex market.

Did you know that over 1.5 trillion dollars is traded in the Forex market daily? Well, you should also know that there are a ton of Forex trading courses out there that promise you a fortune and deliver nothing.

I can tell you right now it was the best investment I've ever made. Thankfully, I didn't have to go through all the failed training programs my friend had paid top dollar for.

Because Sid teaches a simple style of trading, you do not need to know anything about the Forex market. You do not need to read about trends, learn forex jargon or have been the smartest in your class.

The fact is, knowing very little or nothing about Forex will actually give you an advantage with the trading you will learn. You are also given a safe money management strategy that builds your Forex business every day.

The other important plus that sets this course apart from all the others is the incredible support you receive. The Forex Training Works course doesn't end after the four week tutorial, it actually begins.

For example:

* The course is constantly being updated and refined.

* There is a daily blog with feedback pertaining to yesterday's trades.

* Every Sunday Sid leads a chat room meeting and all Forex Training Works members are encouraged to interact.

* You also have one on one contact with Sid by email and over the phone.


Sid is incredibly passionate about every student becoming a successful trader and because of this, his success rate is second to none. How do I know? Every day, ongoing students and live traders send in their results on the blog for all to see.

I have recently become a live trader and expect to be for the rest of my life. I have found the business I was looking for and know I will never again have a job security issue. This is not a get rich scheme. You are actually building a long term business. A business that you can run at home spending 2 hours a day in front of your computer.

Profitable forex strategies with consecutive losses

Profitable forex strategies with consecutive losses

If you are familiar with forex trading you most probably noticed that some strategies have consecutive wins and consecutive losses. That often happens when market conditions changes. E.g. Strategy has many wins in a row when volatility or other factors are beneficial to the strategy and at some point in time it starts to loose. Losses often come in a row as a result of changed market conditions in some period of time.
There are several ways to cope with this problem. The first thing that comes in mind that you should find some indication of changed market conditions and do not trade at this time. However this is easier to say than to do. This leads to the other solution. If strategy has consecutive wins and consecutive losses you can make it more profitable even without knowing the reason why it starts to fail. Money management helps here. More specifically - decrease factor.

What is decrease factor in money management and how it can help you in forex? Decrease factor will decrease your position size after defined number of consecutive losses. E.g. let's say your usual position size is 1 lot and you decrease this size to 0,2 lot after one loss or several consecutive losses. This will minimize drawdown during bad streak. You will go back to normal order sizing after the first win.

In order to understand better how decrease factor helps we can take example when 5 consecutive losses happen and make some calculations. Let's say that your usual position size is 1 lot and you are risking $300 on one position. The total loss in bad streak would be:

Without decrease factor: 1+1+1+1+1 = 5 lots (5 * $300 = $1500 loss);

Decrease to 0,2 after 2 losses: 1+1+0,2+0,2+0,2 = 2,6 (2,6 * $300 = $780 loss);

Decrease to 0,1 after 1 loss: 1+0,1+0,1+0,1+0,1 = 1,4 (1,4 * $300 = $420 loss).

From this example you can see how losses are decreased. Sometimes it can even help to turn unprofitable strategy into profitable one.

Of course it can affect the profit as well so you should find the right combination which works for the strategy. When to decrease and how much to decrease you can find out by testing the strategy.

This will not help strategies with evenly distributed wins and losses, but usually these wins and losses are not evenly distributed during time, so decrease factor can help in those cases.

If you are interested in using decrease factor in expert advisors, you can find a tool with this feature here. You can add decrease factor to any EA created with this online tool.

FAP Turbo - An Autopilot System on Steroids?

FAP Turbo - An Autopilot System on Steroids?

Every day new forex currency trading software are being released into the market, and FAP Turbo is no different.
And it appears that FAP Turbo is the buzz, and considered one of the best on the market. This forex software is a trading program that will monitor the Forex Market, and can automatically make trades for you.

This allows you the freedom to do other tasks whilst continuing trading on the currency market without even being at your computer.

Although, it is similar to other Forex Robots on the market, the difference is - It uses both a long term and short term strategy. As well, the program uses an extremely low draw-down percentage. This limits any potential loss, and at the same time, increases your bottom line.

And unlike other forex software, FAP Turbo trades in 4 currency pairs! This is great advantage to have in any trading plan.

So are there any disadvantages to this autopilot system?

Firstly, it is not a perfect system. Nothing is, and you should not buy this program thinking you will make quick money and get every trade right! So make sure you monitor the program, and have some control over the decision process.

Secondly, you will have to leave your PC on in order to use the software. Hence, your carbon foot-print may increase. However, this software can be hosted on the FAP Turbo creators server.

Aside from these issues, if you are one who panics easily, then a software like FAP Turbo may suit you. It will eliminate the human emotions such as greed and fear, and make that decision for maximum return. Additionally the software can enter and exit trades in ways that people can't possibly do.

So Does It Work?

As mentioned earlier, FAP Turbo is not perfect - it will not get every trade right, and this program will not suit everyone.

Before you buy into any forex software... do yourself a favor, and learn about the forex market - get into a few trades for experience. And when you're ready, give it a go.

Personally I like to have a bit more control over the decision making. Hence, I do keep an eye on FAP Turbo. By all means, use it as a personal assistant to your trading strategy, and do not go on a 3 month holiday, and leave it running.

Forex Jargon You Need to Know

Forex Jargon You Need to Know

Forex may be a completely new experience for you. You maybe experiencing fear and anticipation in the same moment even though it seems impossible because of this new thing you've discovered. Putting your money at risk into any investment is a big decision.

As you know money can buy you many things which can provide you enjoyment. So when you put that gratification on hold to instead buy into an investment the risk is you will never get any enjoyment out of that money.

This is the primary reason I want you to learn more about the forex markets.

Forex is the acronym some clever guy applied to the foreign currency market. This market operates similar to the stock market you know and love, or hate in this recession, only you are trading your currency for the currency of another country.

This market is normalized so that the only thing you can trade are pre-designated currency pairs. This means you can't just buy 37 Chinese Yuan with a certain amount of dollars. Of the 7 main pairs that you're allowed to trade in the US dollar/Euro pair makes up about 70% of all trades in any 24 hour period.

When these currency pairs moves it does so in increments called pips. When 1 currency strengthens it is doing so relative to the other currency in the pair. There are too many factors to list here as to why currencies move relative to one another. As with the stock market when there is good news in a country its currency strengthens. On the flip side of the coin when a country is in trouble its currency tanks.

You maybe witnessing this just like I am here in the US. Outside investors and other governments don't want dollars because they're becoming less valuable each day. The result is that more US dollars have to be given for the same amount of the investor's currency to somewhat equalize this anticipated future fall in value.

And the price of gold and other precious metals are at all-tme highs compared to the dollar because international investors would rather own gold than dollars right now because the dollar continues to sink.

Now after this brief overview I hope you have a deeper understanding of how to successfully play in this marketplace. You know some of the stock symbols for your favorite or most publicized stocks. Similar to these symbols forex currency pairs also have been given symbols. Two examples of US stocks and their corresponding symbols are Yahoo Internet company which is YHOO and Google search engine which is GOOG.

A symbol of gbpchf is the Pound swiss franc pair and the eurgbp is the Euro British pound pair.

As discussed briefly a move in any of these pairs is measured in relative terms by what are called pips. To find out how much dollar amount you'll make in profits is going to depend on the lot size. Once you know your lot size you can multiply by the pips to figure the gain or loss. When trading in bigger lot sizes like when you trade more shares of stock your potential for gain or loss is magnified.

Pips make things absolute so you can compare your trades to other peoples logically which you couldn't do when just talking in money terms because of likely differences in lot sizes. A 50 pip move is the same amount regardless of how big or small a lot size you traded. This really makes intelligent comparisons especially between accounts and time periods possible so you can gauge how your account and trading strategy is doing.

It makes it universal so when you're talking forex you can say you made 50 pips and the guy you're talking to will understand. Since talking money specifics is a mostly taboo subject this makes conversations about forex much easier.

Low risk settings will not make you a millionaire, but will give you a steady percentage growth on your investment, alot better than you will get in any high street bank. High risk settings will either make you or break you, your choice.

Before you can do any trading you will need a trading broker, a broker will handle all your trading orders,and all your trading orders will be placed by your forex EA robot.Most trading brokers are quiet simillar, only difference being that they offer different types of accounts.Most brokers will let you trade on a demo account with no risk to your capital,this is most advisible as it will give you the experience you need before you trade live with your own capital.For those who wish to trade only with a small amount of capital look for a broker that will let you trade on a micro or mini account,this is best if you only have less than 500 USD. Some brokers will let you trade with as little as 100 dollars on a micro account.They is no charge to you for using the broker, the brokers make they money by other means. One thing to note is that a recent change in the NFA rules means that if you trade by hedging,then you will need to trade with a non-US broker.

Choosing a forex ea robot is probably going to be the hardest part of setting up your automated trading. At present the internet is swamped with them and all promising to make you vast amounts of money.You will need to do some research to find out which are genuine, which are scams, and which ones are just a money making rackets for the programme developers.Most will charge about 70 to 200 USD,but there are some free forex ea robots about if you know where to look. Follow my links on this site and they will lead you to genuine websites that will guide you on the best performing robots, the scams, and the waste of time robots.Be sure to get an automated EA robot, some systems are not robots but work by giving you signals of when you should trade manually.

Once you have your trading broker for your forex ea robot the next step is to download your trading platform, this will generally be available to download from your brokers website. Your robot will need to be loaded onto your trading platform for it to function.This is where your robot will place and cancel all your trading orders, almost within seconds, or if you wish trades can be ordered manually by you.The most used and available trading platform is the metatrader MT4 platform that can be downloaded for free and is the most popular trading platform for almost all trading brokers.Some brokers do have they own trading platforms but will also have MT4 has an option.

Forex Market Overview- Get the Truth About Forex Trading

Forex Market Overview- Get the Truth About Forex Trading

Why Cash Is King?

Foreign exchange is the largest financial market in the world. It is estimated that $3.2 trillion[1] global average daily volume is traded across the world every day.

Decentralised Market

Unlike equity or futures market, forex market does not have a centralised exchange. Trading the forex market does not involve an exchange and is usually traded in over-the-counter market where buyers and sellers conduct currency transactions.

Around-the-Clock 24 Hr Market

Forex market is opened 24 hour a day (about 6 days a week) where people from different time zones can participate.

Instant Liquidity

Trading the forex market is most liquid throughout the day. In other words, you can buy and sell currencies almost instantly whenever you want to. This liquidity provides investors and traders minimal risk because they can exit their investments as and when they want to without the possibility of not finding a potential buyer or seller for their transactions.

Transactions Occurring in the Forex Market

Commercial Transactions


Building developers purchase raw material such as mineral ores from Australia and trading companies will import products from abroad and export out to other countries.

Both of these transactions require that the company first sell their currency in exchange for the foreign currency to purchase their products. Subsequently, exporting goods will mean that companies accept foreign currency in exchange for their goods. Thereafter, converting profits back to home currency.

These companies act as both buyers and sellers for foreign currencies.

Hedging

Companies with open currency exposures will frequently buy or sell their local currency against foreign currency to protect from a loss in value due to possible currency fluctuations.

Portfolio Investments

Fund managers and hedge fund managers will make foreign-based investments to participate in the growth of developing countries. Investments in foreign investments require money to be paid in their home currency. Hence, before investment can be made, money must first be converted to their currency.

Personal

Tourists, immigrants and emigrants making money remittance are the main transactions in this category.

Funding

Big banks and government central banks will often borrow large quantity of money from abroad by arranging the sale of securities (government treasury bonds or commercial loans). Money received in foreign currencies will be converted in the forex market. Major Participants

Government and Central Banks

Central banks may regulate their country currency against US dollars by buying or selling US dollars to keep their currency within a certain band. This is also called dirty float.

We have witnessed many times that the Bank of Japan intervened in the forex market by selling Yen against US dollar to prevent Yen from appreciating too much against US dollars. This is because Japan is an exporting countries and prices of their product will become too expensive for its trading partners if Yen appreciate too much against US dollar.

Commercial Banks

They act as primary market dealers and provide liquidity to other participants in the forex market. Examples of these banks are Citibank, UBS and J.P Morgan.

Hedgers

These are usually multi national companies that hold large quantity of money in different currencies. They will take an opposite positions in anticipation of currency movements so as to minimise a lose in value.

Speculators

There are two groups of speculators. Hedge funds are the large speculators looking to profit from changes in major currency movements. The smaller group of speculator is the retail investors. Retail speculators have surged over the past 5 years due to the ability to trade electronically and from home.

The deregulation of the forex market allows retail investors to participate and profit from the forex market. Low brokerage fees, low margin requirements and highly leveraged are reasons why more people decided to participate in forex trading for investment purposes.

Closing Remarks

Foreign exchange market is believed to be the fastest growing period of our time. As forex market does not operate through an exchange, costs of participating in this market are much lower compared to the equity market.

This information are written in the aim of educating people on the facts about forex and the key driving factors which make it one of the fastest growing market of our time. "Cash is king!" - This phrase will hold true for a long time.

Think of your currency trading strategy as the rules for a game. With stock trading systems though you are the one that gets to decide what those rules will be.

Placing Forex Trades With A Stochastic Oscillator

Placing Forex Trades With A Stochastic Oscillator

The stochastic oscillator is in a category of technical indicators called momentum indicators, which measure the velocity of price changes instead of the actual trend or price levels themselves. Since this indicator measures price velocity and does not care about actual price levels, it works as a great predictive indicator that can indicate overbought or oversold market conditions which can warn a trader that the price is vulnerable to a short-term change in direction.
One of the most popular momentum indicators that is included in nearly every charting package is called the Relative Strength Index, which gauges price velocity on a scale of 0-100 with 50 as the center line, where market conditions below 20 indicate oversold and market conditions over 80 indicate overbought. This is very valuable information to a trader for two reasons: First, a change in the velocity of price movement will tend to occur before a change in price levels, so the indicator can yield signals that are predictive and not retrospective in nature. Second, it is the buying or selling pressure of bulls and bears that creates up and down movements in the price, but once a price move reaches its zenith and there is no more momentum or market pressure to keep the market moving, this is the signal for a market reversal and the momentum indicator will precede this reversal.

Looking at a stochastic oscillator can be more insightful in some ways than just the typical RSI momentum indicator because there is more information conveyed on the indicator itself. It uses a typical 0-100 scale with the same overbought and oversold parameters as the RSI, but on the stochastic oscillator there are two lines related to the velocity of price data instead of just one. There is a faster moving line on the indicator which is the actual stochastic level that measures momentum, and then there is the slower moving line which is a moving average of the original momentum levels that can act as your signal line just like a moving average on the price chart will do.

When the stochastic line crosses the moving average line from the bottom going up, this is the signal to buy; when the stochastic line crosses the moving average line from the top going down then this is the signal to sell. These signals are particularly valid when a buy signal is given in oversold territory and a sell signal is given in overbought territory, because this is your indication of a short-term reversal in price which will be given before the actual price movement, meaning that you can get in the market at the right time and make sure that your sell price is higher than your buy price.

How to Automate your Forex Trading

How to Automate your Forex Trading

If you are like me then you dream of automatic income machines. These are businesses, products, or services that generate profit month over month without you having to invest much, if any, time into it. Forex trading can be one of the machines. All you have to do is understand the basics of the market and learn the essential trading methods to automate your Forex trading.
If you are a master at technical analysis and pretty much predict market movements based on a series of your rules then why are you still doing trades manually? You can get programs written for you that follow a series of your rules and will even shut down if they lose to much. Using stop, trailing stops, and other tools you can set up your programs to create massive wealth and protect your account in the event of a dip.

If you don't want to have your own program written you should read up on programs that are currently built for automated forex. The advantage of having a private systems built is complete control, but you wont have the protections built in or the support if anything ever goes wrong. If you don't want to use a program there are many trade options that can give you semi-auto trading control.

A trail is a trading option that can keep your sell order going through based on averages. For example if you buy a currency at .50 and put a sale at .65 with a trail of .03 then if the currency passes .65 and keeps rising to .75 but then goes back down to .60 your currency would have sold out at .72. This is because the sale order tracks the upward movement of the currency and find the top stopping point and then watches the "trail" and once it goes down 3 pips it will sell the currency.

There is much more to learn in this field so I recommend further research using tools such as Investopedia and popular forex forums before you act on any tools that you do not fully understand. The biggest problem with some of the automation tools is that you can lose out of major gains because computers cannot "feel" the sentiment in the market. They also respond to accidentally price prints, so if the market drops a false price that hits your stop then you could be sold out immediately even though your currency hasn't hit its price point. Before you do anything make sure you learn forex trading the right way!

How to Become a Great Forex Scalper by Following the Trend

How to Become a Great Forex Scalper by Following the Trend

Many people want to know how to become a great forex scalper. They love the idea of hit and run trades where you go in and out of the market several times of the day. So, how is any of this accomplished?

Well, for starters you know that indicator menu on your charting software? Yeah, don't bother looking at that, because that's not going to help you. Scalping (or any other kind of trading style) the market requires you to actually understand the market. It's hard to do that when you've got the 5 or 6 indicators on your charts. You are too busy trying to understand the indicators, instead of the market.

Let's get a little more bare bones about this. Pull off all your indicators that you are using, so you are left with nothing but a simple price chart. Then study it. One thing should become very obvious to you after you have gotten rid of all that interference. You are seeing the market at its truest form.

When you really focus, it should become really evident where the trend is going, and as any successful trader would say, "trade with the trend".

So after you figure out how to spot the trend, its time to do a top-down perspective on this. Let's say you like to trade a 5 minute chart. Then start looking to see where the trend is on the 15 minute, 30 minute, and 1 hour chart. After you look at those charts you should have some idea where the intermediate trend is. All you have to do then, is look for scalping opportunities that match that intermediate trend.

Reading and understanding basic price action like this, should be critical to any kind of trader, irregardless of trading style and/or trading market.

Forex Trading - Tips to Improve Your Consistency and Profit

Forex Trading - Tips to Improve Your Consistency and Profit

Do you find with Forex trading that you win some trades only to find a few losing ones follow?
This is one of the main areas to plague many Forex traders. There are some main points to be raised which will make your Forex trading consistently more successful.

For you to make consistent gains it is recommended that your Forex trading strategy is kept as simple as you can make it. You have heard of the KISS strategy right? Keep It Simple and Straight-forward, well this definitely applies to trading Forex.

Forex trading requires good, fast decision making by acting upon your trading strategy. This is so much harder to do if you have many indicators, Moving Averages, oscillators etc to check.

To make fast decisions you need to have a clear head to think and limiting the amount of information you have to process before placing a trade will make this a whole lot easier!

Are you keeping a note book or journal of all your trades? If you write everything down, you will be able to analysis your Forex trading plan. Sometimes you will need to go back to the note book and fine tune your strategy to weed out the indicators, Moving Average settings which may not be working for you.

Another great tip to be consistent is to trade in the same way, at the same time of day over a period of time. Make sure you find out when to expect the results of Fundamental and economic announcements. This will mean you do not get whipsawed out of the market and your trades lost due to bad timing.

Great! So we have a good Forex trading strategy with minimal techniques to help identify the trade, now what?

Well, another point about Forex trading consistency is keeping your emotions in check. If you trade differently every time you open a position then you will be inconsistent with your winning trades. Decide your strategy and then trade it. Plan your trade and then trade your plan!

The best way to do this is over time through paper trading first, followed by using a demo account from a reputable Forex broker like the one mentioned below. Once you have your strategy nailed down, this will give you the confidence to trade with a minimum lot size while you gain experience with the risk factor of trading a live account.

Something which works for me is to think of each trade in pip or point value. So, instead of thinking of how much money you will gain or lose, look at it in a different way. How many pips will you gain or risk with your stop loss. Consequently, money is taken out of the equation together with the associated emotions.

So, in order to trade the Forex with consistency you need to have a simple yet effective strategy with every trade recorded in your Forex trading note book. Make sure you know when to look out for economic and fundamental results which may move the market in an unexpected way.

You have done a great job to get this far!

Have confidence in your strategy. If you are trading a live account, then you would have come a long way in developing your Forex trading strategy and you will be able to benefit from your hard work. Keeping your emotions in check will allow you a clear mind to take those trades and make your profit.

To you success and happy trading.

How to Create a Powerful Forex Trading Strategy

How to Create a Powerful Forex Trading Strategy

There are so many possibilities for a long and lucrative Forex trading career it would seem a wasted opportunity if your Forex trading system let you down! The following tips will help you to maintain a profitable Forex trading account.
Ok, so what do you do first then?

Well, define your own Forex trading system. You can do this by keeping a note book and recording every position you open. This will become your primary education tool and is really important step to take.

The Forex is a vast, global, lucrative market and it would be a shame not to capitalise on its potential to give you a long and lucrative income just because you didn't set up the basics first!

So every trade you enter, write down where the entry point was and why. Follow this by adding where your stop loss was and why, the lots traded and your exit strategy. These will be the main points of your trading plan. Do not forget to plan your trade and then trade your plan. I know it sounds cheesy but it is so true!

Secondly, be really strict with your trade and money management. Work out your risk strategy, remembering not to open a position which risks more than three percent of your total account size.

If your entry point proves to be wrong and goes against you, hitting your stop loss and closing you out of the trade then take that as the cost of doing business. Not every trade will work out. This is the reason for calculating your stop loss level and risk on every trade.

This strategy will keep you in the market long enough for you to learn from your mistakes and keep your trading account live.

Thirdly, can you control your emotions? Trading psychology is important and goes hand in hand with a profitable Forex trading strategy. If you have developed a great strategy, have worked out your risk ratio, then you owe it to yourself to profit from all your hard work.

Keep to your plan and follow your strategy to the letter. No excuses. Period!

This is the part most people find the hardest, believe it or not. Forex trading is based on probability. This theory states you will not win every trade - and that is a fact. But dealing with this can be hard so don't beat yourself up if you get stuck.

A good way to deal with this is to think that every losing trade is just a cost of doing business. It is another business expense - that is all. If you find this hard to accept and lose another trade, take some time out to clear your head.

A good strategy is the three strikes and you are out plan. If you have three bad trades in one day then take the rest of the day off.

So now you have a note book full of past trades so you are able to fine tune your trading strategy. You have a good money and trade management plan which you stick to and a good level of detachment from your trades and a strategy to deal with losing trades.

One of the best known Forex trading quotations is 'The most successful traders are those who lose the least, not make the most' which is a strategy I strive to achieve. The above points are the basis of this theory.

How To Trade Forex: The Basics

How To Trade Forex: The Basics

If you are considering getting involved in currency trading, it is essential that you know the basics of how to trade forex. Even if you plan on using an automated forex trading system (or forex robot) you will need to understand something about what it is doing in order to set it up right.
Forex trading and currency trading mean the same thing. You will be trading world currencies on the foreign exchange market. Forex and FX are simply abbreviations of 'foreign exchange'.

If you do not use a forex robot then you will need some system that will help you sort out whether a country's currency is rising or falling, so that you can decide whether to buy or sell the pair that you are trading. You always have to trade a pair of currencies because you are exchanging one currency for another. A popular pair for beginners is EUR/USD, the euro and the US dollar.

Currency trading systems are usually based on technical analysis, which means watching price movements and indicators on charts. Most brokers supply this kind of data or if you do not get everything that you want from your broker, you can sign up to one of the many online forex charting services.

You can get started for a very low initial investment these days. Competition between brokers and the ease of access through the internet has meant that brokers are offering mini and micro forex trading accounts to encourage the smaller investor to get involved.

Costs are generally low too. Most brokers do not charge a fee or commission, but make their money from the difference between the bid and ask prices of the currency pair (that is, the different prices depending whether you are buying or selling). This is good for small investors who can make many small trades without paying any fixed fees. This is one of the reasons why more and more private individuals are getting into forex and wanting to know how to trade currency.

The forex market is open 24 hours a day from Sunday evening to Friday evening (or Monday morning to Saturday morning if you are in Australia or Asia). This can be very convenient if you have a day job and want to get into trading in the evenings. It is also a huge market, with deals totalling almost $4 trillion a day. Prices move fast and there is a lot of money to be made.

Of course there is also a risk. Like any speculative investment, you may lose more than you make, especially in the beginning. You should be prepared to possibly lose your investment funds so do not trade with money that you need for other purposes.

It is important to stick to a system exactly and keep clear records of your trades. If you do not do this you will be shooting in the dark and the net results could be damaging. You need to be sure of what you are doing and able to look back and see what worked and what did not work.

There are many forex trading systems sold online but remember that you only need one profitable system to make money. It is not a good idea to try to use more than one system, and certainly do not switch from one to another all of the time, because that will not work for you. Being consistent in your trading is the key.

Forex trading is risky, but it can also make you a lot of money. Follow these pointers and you will soon have mastered how to trade currency.

The internet has brought a new world to today's masses and now they can have it all at their fingertips. We currently have over five thousand times more information than the information five years ago and more and more new content is generated every year.
One of the greatest gifts of the internet is the propagation of currency trading in todays market. Before the dawn of the internet, Forex was limited to banks, financial institutions and large importers and exporters. The web has put the power into the hands of the people.

In fact, you can see a meteoric rise in available Forex brokers. You can find them popping out of the woodwork faster than anything I have seen in recent years. The challenge for a novice in Forex is to find the broker that would usher them to a decadent life funded through successful Forex investments. But like other successful endeavours, choosing the right partner is the first logical step.

First of all, what is probably the most important aspect of choosing a forex broker is to find one that you can trust. Even with leverage, Forex still deals with large sums of money that you have worked hard for. You should not hand that out to the first firm that offers you a discount on the spread. Talk to the forex broker and get a feel on what they are all about. If they can be recommended by someone that you trust then that is another plus to add to their credibility. Furthermore, affiliation with regulatory groups is another factor to look at when choosing a forex broker that you can trust. When they are affiliated with commissions and associations like the FSA or Financial Service Authority, they need to adhere to certain standards to stay connected to those organizations. Look for these affiliations displayed prominently on their websites or other marketing material.

Now, not all forex brokers are the same. One might offer more features than the other but it does not make them inferior. It is important to choose a forex broker with features that fit your needs as a forex investor. For example, some people may offer charting, news feeds, and market analysis for a higher premium but if you do not want any of those you can choose to go for the forex broker with lesser features but offer the same security.

One of the most important factors that one must consider in choosing a forex broker is the leverage that they offer. A broker shoulders a portion of the risk when they offer to place your trades at a margin. These margins give you additional buying power and extend the capability of your dollar. Some brokers offer less leverage than others. If you have a limited budget for your trading it is important to get a broker that offers larger leverage so that you can buy more for the little amount that you can shell out. Just be careful about the margin fees because as you well know, nothing in this world comes free. These are just some of the factors to consider when choosing a forex broker to trade with in the currencies market. Once you get that step down and you have made the right choice, the right broker will ensure your success in the forex trading game. Happy trading!

Forex Trading for Beginners

Forex Trading for Beginners

Mankind has been trading in some form for its entire existence. Trading began as bartering, where a basket full of nuts would be traded for a couple of chickens, and slowly grew into a cash based trading process that we're all familiar with, where we now trade our products or services for cash and use the cash to trade for, or purchase, the goods and services we require.
And with the creation of the internet, trading has gone online in a seemingly cashless world of PayPal, credit and online trading, where you can trade almost anything including forex.

Forex stands for foreign exchange, and is essentially the trade of different currencies of money. It's similar to when you travel overseas. You buy some money in the currency of the country you're travelling to, and when you return home you use any left over money in this currency to buy your home currency again.

If you've ever done this, you'll understand that there is an exchange rate, such as $1 in US currency equals $0.80 in Australian currency, and that this exchange rate varies from day to day. Depending on what the exchange rate is doing when you travel, you can either make or lose a little money in this transaction. You'll also realize that the place where you exchange your currencies, called a broker, will take a small cut of the transaction as payment.

Now all Forex trading does is buy and sell different international currencies for the purpose of making money, rather than travel. It's a simple concept, but actually quite a complex activity as you need to be able to buy currencies and then sell them for a profit to make forex trading work for you.

Forex trading is a popular form of investment because:

1. The Forex market is worth up to $3 trillion a day in trade. 2. You can trade 24 hours a day, closing only on weekends and public holidays. 3. Anyone can do it, and you only need a small investment to join in on the action. 4. You can do it from your computer at home, and with automated trading systems like robots, you don't even need to be at home to trade. 5. You can potentially earn significant income from successful trading.

But before you get excited about the promise of untold wealth from forex trading, like all forms of investment there are risks. A poorly executed forex trade can potentially lose all your money, so it's important to do your homework and never invest more than you're prepared to lose.

So if you are interested in trading the forex, it's important that you:

1. Get some training. There are many free tutorials available online, and use a demo account that doesn't use real money, until you are confident with what you're doing. 2. Try using automated systems or robots, but understand that they are not perfect and you still risk losing a lot of money with a bad robot. Do your research! 3. Never trade with more money than you can afford. 4. Learn from your mistakes and move on!

There is money to be made with forex, you just need to find the system that works for you.

Forex Robots - The future of Trading

Forex Robots - The future of Trading

With falling shares and low returns on investments, it's becoming increasingly difficult to find a safe place to make small investments. Many people have taken this opportunity to make enquires about the Forex market. The Forex market is the most liquid market in the world and trades 24 hours a day and 7 days a week turning over a massive $3 dollars a day.

Now the one problem many first timers found was that over time and in the long run approximately 90% of traders lose money in Forex. The reason for this extremely high number is due to the time and energy manually trading forex takes. There is a huge learning curve that needs to be climbed before a trader can take to the market, not to mention a through examination of psychology and mindset. A lifetimes task in itself.

Fortunately new technology in the form of Forex Robots have come to the rescue. Forex Robots have been around for a relatively short while with new and more advanced models coming out onto the market all the time. They have become so popular that now approximately 25% of all Forex trades are now done by forex robots. The main attraction of a Forex robot is that it allows traders to leave their Expert Advisors to run on autopilot so saving valuable time in not having to sit in front of a screen all day. The other big benefit is that Robots don't have emotions and therefore don't make the fear or greed based errors that human traders do.

As with all technology the older Forex Robots were very inconsistent. They would do very well for a while and then would go into periods of losing money. If Forex Robots are so clever why does this happen? The answer is really simple. The older Forex robot models had set coding which only allowed them to understand a limited range of market movement. With new advances in technology forex robots are now programmed with their own intelligence allowing them to adjust to changes in the market.

Let's explain in a little more detail. There are a variety of price patterns that can occur for a currency pair. Due to global macro economic variables a currency pair might show trending pattern where one side of a currency pair gains significant strength vs. it's opposite e.g. the Yen strengthening against the British pound for a long period from July 2008 to January 2009. This is a trending market and a Forex Robot designed for a trending GBPJPY would have shown exceptional profits during this period. However the run did not last. It never does. The GBPJPY pair came into balance at the end of January 2009 when the currency moves into a more sideways pattern. This is known as a ranging market. The trending Forex Robots that did so well for 6 month earlier would have started to lose money. It would expect the trend to continue and would make false trades. The longer the market traded sideways the more money would be lost.

This is where the new adaptive Forex Robots take over. IvyBot is the first of these robots recently launched onto the market. The developers of IvyBot have coded this forex robot to react to changes within the market. Allowing the forex traders who use them to profit for longer. Developers are also constantly updating the forex robot for changes as they happen within the market the beauty of that is all updates are passed on free to the consumer. The program has a 96% accuracy rating.

Why should you pick IvyBot above other Robots?
* IvyBot uses the latest multi market adapting technology
* Designed by Forex Experts and properly tested over a long time period
* Superior profitability
* 60 day money back guarantee

The Truth About Forex Forecasting

The Truth About Forex Forecasting

Forecasting in Forex is the predetermination of events that should eventually lead to you making a sort of handsome profit that everyone is looking for in terms of investment ideals involving the many forms of commodities that are available online. One of the best things in terms of forecasting within the paper trade is that the Forex market has been known to fall into loosely predictable patterns that can, to a certain extent be predicted before market movements.
What directions, flights to safety, market psychology being dependent on several key and core factors, one would be indisposed to study the market patterns over the past few years and form opinions based upon that. If you are really interested in the currency trade, and would like to make some decent money from there, then this is one of the main things you should know about when it comes to forecasting.

The truth is, there is no complicated formula that can be applied because in a strange way, there is an ordered chaos, a dynamic pattern that the market always falls into when certain events happen or when the potential for market movement is there. But beware, do not be fooled into thinking that patterns will change at the touch of a finger because when a trend does occur in the FX market, it tends to stay there indefinitely. Sometimes it can last for weeks, sometimes months and trends (depending on market and external conditions) have been known to stay on for several years at a time.

Always watch the trends in the FX market, but also remember that uniqueness is part and parcel of the currency market that you are investing in. This is because of its highly liquid structure, and within a single trend, there might be rapid but uniformed changes that will happen every minute and every hour. The trend will stay, but changes and microcosms within the trend will definitely change as sure as a tidal wave approaching a small island. There are certain things that you will need to keep in mind when forecasting on the FX market, and the following are a few simple principles that should be at the back of your head at all times.

Forex is a truly 24-hour, round the clock market - so trades are being conducted while you are busy doing other things; including sleeping, so always place these measurables and irregularities of the market within your forecast paradigm. It is also a true-zero sum market, which simply means that wherever there is a winner, there will be an equal loser on the other side of the fence. At the end of the day, the FX market will have to balance itself out.

The currency market has no measures other than the primary ones that are noteworthy, and the FX market can be manipulated by large central banks and governments, who will state their intentions clearly that they will stop the flow of a market movement if it is in the best interests of the majority. These are just some of the truths about Forex forecasting you should be aware of when considering on investing in the Forex market.

Forex Day Trading - Tips To Avoid Making Mistakes

Forex Day Trading - Tips To Avoid Making Mistakes

When you are trying to do the Forex day trade, you will be quite hard pressed to actually find a system that can actually encompass the entire day trade process for you and this is because of the fact that the day trade is really one of the more volatile market forces in the world today when it comes trading.

He or she will be your middleman into the market, you have to ensure that the person you are getting will be able to get you into the market and give you the advice necessary so that you do not make the same mistakes and avoid the pitfalls that normal traders often make on the day trade market all the time.

Last but not least, you must also know that the day trade market is something that is not akin to the normal FX markets, and when you do know this, your level of preparation is something that must be there all the time. You need to be able to learn as much as you can on the market and the technique of trading and if you can, sign up with a demo course from your brokerage to familiarise yourself withy all the market techniques and technicalities for you to master the day trade method and actually make some headway into the market.

So these are some of the things that you need to know about when you are approaching the Forex day trading market, and you need to understand that there is a lot of competition out there in this platform of trading and for one thing, understand this is something that is important to your own survival as a trader.
