FOREX Trading - Catching The Big Trends Live Examples
by sacha tarkovsky
Recently we gave you two live trades to look at:
British Pound long V Dollar and this made a lovely profit on the breakout and long Dollar v Japanese Yen which again gave another great profit.
Here we are going to look at the above trades and perhaps the best trend at the moment in currencies (it's not one of the above or the euro) and a possible contrary trade.
Let's get started.
Before we get started for those of you who have not read previous articles pull up a free chart service such as futuresource.com.
You will need the following studies:
Bollinger bands, RSI and stochastics - if you are not familiar with them check our other articles.
Right lets take a look at some currencies and their profit potential.
Japanese Yen
The odd one out of the major currencies, as its weak against the dollar.
After the recent spike low in the dollar we have seen a lovely rise and were looking to get out here. We have a quadruple top and stochastics are very overbought - time to bank the profit.
We would not take a contrary trade here.
We would look to go long the dollar at lower levels and will wait for the pullback.
B Pound
We banked our profit here and the pound remains out and out bullish.
Price momentum is building and stochastics are set to cross with bullish divergence prices have tested and held the middle Bollinger band.
While the RSI is a little high the odds favour the bulls and a pop to the upside and test of the highs - the bulls get the nod.
The best trend on the board!
Many traders simply like to trade the:
Euro, pound, yen and swissie, but in my view all traders should look at the Canadian Dollar.
It's got good liquidity and great trends and in our trading it is one of the most profitable currencies we trade.
Check out the classic downtrend on the charts.
Here we are going to look at a possible contrary trade and a change of direction.
Pull up the weekly chart and you will see 1.10 is key support from June 2006 and were approaching these levels now.
RSI is almost in oversold territory and stochastics are starting to bottom out.
This gives us the big picture - now pull up the daily chart.
1.1079 was the close so we are near the key level again, but were trying to hammer out support and a triple bottom is forming.
RSI is oversold and stochastics are looking to turn down.
With the 1.10 area being key support we would look for the triple bottom to hold and wait for stochastics to cross with bullish divergence - the bulls then get the nod.
From these oversold areas, we expect a good pop to the upside.
This is an aggressive trade, but 1.10 is great support and a contrary trade if momentum turns bullish has got good upside and a tight stop.
The Canadian dollar has given us a super profit on the downside so we don't mind risking a bit on a contrary trade, providing momentum confirms a bottom.
Don't jump wait for confirmation of change in momentum.
Good luck and good trading!

Online Forex Day Trading: The Tao Of Rapid Wealth Creation And Perpetuation
Online Forex Day Trading: The Tao Of Rapid Wealth Creation And Perpetuation
by Ikey Benney
Foreign currency trading is the most profitable and powerful way to make money today in the world.
It is a 2.5 trillion dollars daily global market and business.
For this reason the knowledge and the secrets of how to do it successfully have been kept away from the public for thousands of years.
This is because it is the jealously guarded "SECRET" of how the "Money and Power" Elites, the multi-national and multi-billion dollars corporations, largest banks and governments of the world, the "Movers & Shakers" of International Banking & Finance, Business moguls & Tycoons, CEOs of major Corporations, secret societies and the privileged blue bloodlines of the Wealthiest Families of Europe and the Americas make their money and get rich.
They create vast fortunes easily trading foreign currencies.
Thereafter, using this great wealth, they create factories to manufacture consumer goods and products and hire you, Joe Bloke to work in those factories, banks and jobs at minimum wages.
So, it is no wonder why they don't want you to know about the REAL TRUTH and "SECRET" on how to generate great wealth through foreign currency trading.
If you know how to trade foreign currency and generate $100,000 monthly for life, will you be idiotic, naïve and crazy to go to work at these DEAD END jobs to earn minimum wages and be paid nickels and dimes?
So, there has been a persistent organized campaign by the powers that be, the Money Elite to KEEP AWAY AND HIDE these "SECRETS" of creating vast wealth from foreign currency trading.
That is why they are always floating false propaganda and negative campaign in the mass media that currency trading is risky and you should not do it because you'll lose all your money. But this is half of the truth.
The other half of the truth is that if you buy and study a good forex currency trading e-book guide or program and understand how it works, avoid the pitfalls and get to know the secrets of risk management and trade with discipline, you can get fabulously rich so fast it will make your head spin round and put the devil to shame.
This is why there is an organized campaign to discredit online currency trading.
If you get rich so fast, then you'll not need to depend on the "Money and Power" Elites and their jobs and welfare system where they allow you nickels and dimes to keep you subjugated.
If you get rich too fast, they will no longer be able to manipulate you into voting and keeping them in power to continue milking your life by making you labor and work yourself to death making them rich.
There are so many reasons why most beginners in foreign currency trading fail to earn money and instead lose all their savings.
When they first hear about how easy and fast it is making money from day trading currency, they search the internet and find a forex trading broker.
Then they open a currency trading account and put in a few thousands of dollars in the online currency trading account and immediately begin to try to earn money from online currency trading.
And they get entangled in all the foreign currency trading sophisticated strategies and systems of technical and fundamental analysis such as reading "Forex charts", "Moving Averages", "Elliot wave", "Stochastics", "Bollinger bands", "Directional movement index", "Trend and Oscillator indicators", "Fibonacci retracements and others.
They spend all day and night listening to business news on radio, reading forex newsletters, forex articles in magazines and watching business news on TV
These beginners don't take their time to buy a valid online currency trading e-book guide to study and understand the forex market and the currency trading "SECRETS" before they begin trading.
They don't open the free demo trial forex trading account to practice for free to develop viable profitable currency trading skills first before they open a paid forex trading account to begin trading and making real money.
They make the fatal and dumb mistake of trying to fly in the world of foreign currency trading market before they learn how to crawl.
So, they get confused, make grievous foreign currencies trading errors and lose their money.
When they lose their money, they will not accept responsibility because that is the difficult part.
The easy thing to do is to blame their mistakes on online currency trading and to declare and gripe that it is risky and a scam designed to con the unsuspecting public.
This gives them the justification to begin filing false complaints and instigating legal action with the lame excuse that they were naïve and didn't know the risk involved and so have been ripped off.
The truth is that there are at least one million people around the world who have foreign currency trading skills and do it well to make millions of dollars monthly!
Yes, sometimes they will lose.
But most of the time they are fabulously profitable.
I once read about a taxi cab driver from New York who started trading foreign currencies about 10 yrs ago.
While driving his taxi cab, occasionally during his lunch break, he will log into his forex trading account and enter a few currency trades.
By the end of his driving day shift, he would check his online currency trading account and was always surprised to find that for a few minutes of trading currencies, he had made more money that day in minutes than he made driving the cab for a whole month.
This encouraged him to stop driving the taxi cab and to begin trading currencies full time.
In 10 years, he made $4 billion dollars ($4,000,000,000) trading foreign currencies online and was listed in Forbes Magazine's 400 richest Americans!
He is just one out of the many average people all over the world who took the time to study online currency trading, understood it and trade it correctly and are making millions of dollars without any hard work.
You too can do the same.
It is simple.
If you can click your mouse once to buy the currency and in a few minutes click your mouse a second time to sell them, you can make money.
It is a no brainer. Even a caveman can do it!
So, foreign currency trading is not difficult to understand or to do like stock or bond or commodity trading.
If you know where to get a good and valid forex trading guide or e-book and be patient to spend 1 hr daily to study it to understand the foreign currency trading market, how to click your mouse to buy and sell the currency; and if you will be patient to do the free demo trial for a few months before you open a paid forex trading account to begin trading, you can get obscenely and insanely rich so fast, it will make your eyes want to pop out, seeing all the piles of cash you generate just by clicking your mouse twice for a few minutes daily!
One powerful secret that will help you as a beginner is to avoid hiring money managers at the beginning to trade currencies for you.
The reason is that 90% of these money managers who advertise with highly impressive websites and brochures and also in TV infomercials and radios and seminars are fraudulent.
When you hire them to trade for you, they will over trade your account (churning) so as to generate a lot of trading fees for themselves because whether they make money for you or not, you must pay them their fees.
So, if you're a beginner, avoid hiring money managers to trade for you at the beginning. Stay away from managed trading.
Instead learn to trade and after you have made at least $500,000, contact us to give you the list of the best and honest money managers in the world (as well as the best forecasting services) who can trade for you and make you richer.
There is another fraud which some money managers perpetrate.
After you open a paid online currency trading account and put in thousands of dollars in there for them to trade for you, they use your money to trade for themselves.
Then they use a computer software to generate a fake forex trading account statement for your forex trading account which will show that you've lost money.
Above all, most beginners in forex currency trading fail to earn money because they spend too much time in doing complicated forex mathematics, reading charts, listening to business news on radio, TV and reading too many forex newsletters and magazine articles, which are conflicting, confusing, time consuming and counter productive.
They spend so much time over stuffing themselves with forex trading news and information that they become constipated with information and overwhelmed and so have little or no time to actually click their mouse to buy and sell the currencies and make money.
Most beginners also are unable to find and use a good currency trading system and software.
Some of them are even conned into buying outrageously expensive trading softwares and system for $4000 from some companies who advertise on TV infomercials late at nights.
They don't know that they can get the same forex trading system and softwares for free online at the websites of some forex trading companies!
These $4000 softwares are not for beginners and when we checked them out, we found they are complicated and not easy to use.
Infact after you manage to master how to use it, they will not help you to make more money!
So, it is not wise squandering your hard earned $4000 to buy them.
If these over priced worthless forex trading softwares work as they are advertised in seminars and infomercial, the companies will not be selling them.
Instead they will keep them secret and use them to make billions of dollars.
If you wake up tomorrow and discover you have a goldmine underneath your house, will you go out and advertise in TV infomercials and radios and seminars to sell your house for $4000???
The truth is that most of these infomercial advertising forex companies don't really trade currencies. They are just sales people. Shysters. Tricksters.
They make their money by peddling worthless forex trading softwares to the naïve beginners for $4000.
So, if you're a beginner who desires to get rich fast from currency trading, you must know these insiders' "SECRETS" of currency trading market and the pitfalls and how to avoid all the fraudulent companies peddling worthless forex trading e-books, books, softwares, systems and complicated trading strategies.
There are millions of them.
Beware because they are smooth operators who are very skilled in salesmanship and who can easily dazzle you with their big refined nonsensical English and so con you.
There are billions of dollars to be made in foreign currency trading and you can get abundantly rich trading these currencies online from home or office starting small.
But you must locate and buy a valid foreign currency trading e-book guide.
You must study it and understand it.
You must try the free demo account trading and do well in it before you can open a paid forex trading account to actually begin making real money.
You must begin by trading only one or two currencies at the beginning.
With time as you acquire more skills, you may trade more currencies.
You must learn how to trade with discipline and learn the BEST DAYS AND HRS to trade to be profitable and the other times when YOU MUST NOT TRADE to avoid losing money.
You must know how to "go long" or "short" on a currency, how to enter "Market Order", "Limit Order", "Stop Order", "OCO order" and "Entry Order".
If you learn how to do Online currency trading hedging, it will help you to maximize your profits.
You must be disciplined and avoid emotional currency trading.
When you make a reasonable amount of money for the day, stop trading because you can't be profitable at all times of the day and if you don't stop and take your profit, you may end up losing all the money you made.
Above all don't open a paid currency day trading account and trade until you have done the free trial demo account trading for a few months and mastered it.
At the beginning, keep your trading strategies simple.
Avoid complications and advanced trading strategies of technical and fundamental analysis because these are the reasons why 90% of beginners lose money.
Use a simple trading strategy to get rich at the beginning.
Afterwards you may then take advanced forex trading courses and do technical, fundamental analysis and use forecasting services to make even more profits and get richer, making millions of dollars effortlessly.

Why Forex? really? by W.Medina
Why Forex? really?
by W.Medina
Why FOREX?
If you thought that Affiliation (gambling / dating / adult) brings you money, we've got news for you ...
Forex. The mainstream business, the biggest market on earth today. It has a daily turnover of more than 2.5 trillion US$ (more than 100 times greater than NASDAQ), and it's still growing.
Affiliating in the FOREX industry is a highly attractive source of income. Your traffic is already there, waiting to be used in the Forex arena.
Millions of traders from all over the world are trading Forex online. The participants are banks, business organizations - large and small, and obviously many private individuals. Everyone on earth today can immediately start trading Forex online, from any computer, anytime, using their credit cards.
The FOREIGN EXCHANGE (FOREX, FX) market is not a "market" in the traditional sense. In fact, it is the nearest to "perfect market" from economics perspective. There is no centralized location for trading as there is in futures or stocks. Trading occurs around the clock over the telephone and on computer terminals at thousands of locations worldwide. Foreign Exchange is also the world's largest and deepest market.
Daily market turnover has skyrocketed from approximately 5 billion USD in 1977, to a staggering 2.5 trillion (and more) US dollars today. This is more than 100 times the daily turnover of the NASDAQ.
Most foreign exchange activity consists of the spot business between the US dollar and the six major currencies (Japanese Yen, Euro, British Pound, Swiss Franc, Canadian Dollar and Australian Dollar). The FOREX market is so large, and is hosting so many participants, that no single player, governments included, can directly control or make any significant influence over the direction of the market. That makes the FOREX market the most exciting market in the world. Central banks, commercial banks, international corporations, money managers, speculators, and private individuals - all involve in FOREX trading.
Foreign exchange (FOREX) is the trading of contracts of currency pair exchange rate. It is a NON-DELIVERY trade, which means that there is no physical transaction of currencies, but it is rather an agreement, or "contract" (FOREX DEAL), to trade specific volume of a pair of currencies at an agreed exchange rate. The magnitude of such FOREX trade is that, in order to make the deal, only a proportional amount is needed (the COLLATERAL, or the MARGIN). Thus, if the currency pair exchange rate has changed by some percentage, the value of the MARGIN invested would accordingly change, however - in a much higher proportion. In fact, the actual change onto the Forex trader's investment (the MARGIN they deposited), will be the nominal change occurred to the exchange rate, multiplied by the MARGIN ratio (the leverage).
For example: a FOREX DAY-TRADING deal has been made, for buying EUR100,000 against USD, on an exchange rate of 1.2500. The MARGIN required for this deal (offered by the FOREX Trading Platform) is of a ratio of around 1:100. Accordingly, the trader invests only USD100. After a few hours, the exchange rate went up to 1.2620. This is an increase of 0.96%, quite normal for the global Forex market. However, thanks to the MARGIN ratio, the trader's investment went up by 96% (since a leverage of 1:100 has been used)!! Remember: that happened in less than a day!
Same could happen in the opposite direction, however - the traders cannot lose more than their original MARGIN deposited. When the rate goes against the trader's favor, the deal closes automatically ("Stop-Loss") when the margin does not cover anymore the contract's decrease in value.
Note that the Forex trader may choose any direction for his deal (for example: either to BUY-EUR or to SELL-EUR in a EUR-USD deal), and still do that with his account base currency (the currency with which he operates his trading account). Hence, he may still profit (in case he was right...) even when the EUR goes down.
The Forex market offers today FOREX trading not only in MAJORS (the leading world currencies) but also in many other currency pairs (including exotic, gold and silver, etc.).
As for Forex affiliates, Easy-Forex™ Trading Platform, for example, paid more than 1 million US dollars commissions during 2005. And it is rapidly growing ...

Why FOREX?
If you thought that Affiliation (gambling / dating / adult) brings you money, we've got news for you ...
Forex. The mainstream business, the biggest market on earth today. It has a daily turnover of more than 2.5 trillion US$ (more than 100 times greater than NASDAQ), and it's still growing.
Affiliating in the FOREX industry is a highly attractive source of income. Your traffic is already there, waiting to be used in the Forex arena.
Millions of traders from all over the world are trading Forex online. The participants are banks, business organizations - large and small, and obviously many private individuals. Everyone on earth today can immediately start trading Forex online, from any computer, anytime, using their credit cards.
The FOREIGN EXCHANGE (FOREX, FX) market is not a "market" in the traditional sense. In fact, it is the nearest to "perfect market" from economics perspective. There is no centralized location for trading as there is in futures or stocks. Trading occurs around the clock over the telephone and on computer terminals at thousands of locations worldwide. Foreign Exchange is also the world's largest and deepest market.
Daily market turnover has skyrocketed from approximately 5 billion USD in 1977, to a staggering 2.5 trillion (and more) US dollars today. This is more than 100 times the daily turnover of the NASDAQ.
Most foreign exchange activity consists of the spot business between the US dollar and the six major currencies (Japanese Yen, Euro, British Pound, Swiss Franc, Canadian Dollar and Australian Dollar). The FOREX market is so large, and is hosting so many participants, that no single player, governments included, can directly control or make any significant influence over the direction of the market. That makes the FOREX market the most exciting market in the world. Central banks, commercial banks, international corporations, money managers, speculators, and private individuals - all involve in FOREX trading.
Foreign exchange (FOREX) is the trading of contracts of currency pair exchange rate. It is a NON-DELIVERY trade, which means that there is no physical transaction of currencies, but it is rather an agreement, or "contract" (FOREX DEAL), to trade specific volume of a pair of currencies at an agreed exchange rate. The magnitude of such FOREX trade is that, in order to make the deal, only a proportional amount is needed (the COLLATERAL, or the MARGIN). Thus, if the currency pair exchange rate has changed by some percentage, the value of the MARGIN invested would accordingly change, however - in a much higher proportion. In fact, the actual change onto the Forex trader's investment (the MARGIN they deposited), will be the nominal change occurred to the exchange rate, multiplied by the MARGIN ratio (the leverage).
For example: a FOREX DAY-TRADING deal has been made, for buying EUR100,000 against USD, on an exchange rate of 1.2500. The MARGIN required for this deal (offered by the FOREX Trading Platform) is of a ratio of around 1:100. Accordingly, the trader invests only USD100. After a few hours, the exchange rate went up to 1.2620. This is an increase of 0.96%, quite normal for the global Forex market. However, thanks to the MARGIN ratio, the trader's investment went up by 96% (since a leverage of 1:100 has been used)!! Remember: that happened in less than a day!
Same could happen in the opposite direction, however - the traders cannot lose more than their original MARGIN deposited. When the rate goes against the trader's favor, the deal closes automatically ("Stop-Loss") when the margin does not cover anymore the contract's decrease in value.
Note that the Forex trader may choose any direction for his deal (for example: either to BUY-EUR or to SELL-EUR in a EUR-USD deal), and still do that with his account base currency (the currency with which he operates his trading account). Hence, he may still profit (in case he was right...) even when the EUR goes down.
The Forex market offers today FOREX trading not only in MAJORS (the leading world currencies) but also in many other currency pairs (including exotic, gold and silver, etc.).

Forex Tester - professional training software for Forex traders by Marat Sabirov
Forex Tester - professional training software for Forex traders.
by Marat Sabirov
The currency market Forex has already ceased to seem exotic, as well as the profession of Forex-trader elite business. The opportunity of participation in the largest market of the planet seems tempting and temptation to make fast money and to grow rich, in fact, was promised by advertising leaflets of all dealing centers and it was impossible to resist. In game there were involved representatives of different layers of the society. However, the statistics eloquently testified: up to 90 % of traders of the Forex market have been losing the money. What is the reason of such results? The basic one is lack of traders' training.
There was the need for the instrument which would allow the trader to be trained not losing his funds (working on an actual account) and not wasting time (training on a demo account). Often to test their trading system traders spend months, pay solid money for round-the-clock access to the Internet and after the lapse of time they found out that this system is unprofitable. The trader changes parameters of the system and all begins again. As the result after a year of such work at the best disappointment of the Forex market arises and in the worst the person loses the savings and creates debts.
Considering the aforesaid, Forex Tester (www.forextester.com) is a professional simulator of the Forex market which eliminates the listed lacks was developed allowing the trader to get necessary skills of work in Forex in reasonable terms and without loss of money. The software emulates the terminal of the trader and does not demand connection to the Internet. Now the trader can test the trading systems calculated for years within hours. The software is intended both for training to trade manually and for testing the automated trading strategies. The user can expose manually comprehensible speed of receipt of quotations, do stops for the analysis of the market situation and in case of acceptance of wrong decisions allows to make recoil back and again to comprehend the situation and to make the true decision. A big set of market indicators and also a set of instruments for graphic analysis are incorporated in the software.
We asked the author of the software, Michael Koshelev, to share with us the sight of the mentioned problems: "The profession of the trader, as well as other professions, demands the appropriate training. At the first sight trading in Forex looks very simple; it is enough to press a couple of keys in the terminal of the trader to give the order on fulfillment of the transaction. Often the beginners are lucky initially and they make some profitable transactions, they feel unjustified confidence of their forces and people hasten to invest serious money. But profitable trading during a long time interval is science, art and craft. The market is a certain environment with the internal rules. Therefore it is necessary for the participant of the market to correspond to the market process: to modify his own behavior, to adjust his/her own preferences to the market laws. Psychology is an exclusively important component of the successful trade. The trader should break the stereotypes borrowed from other spheres of life as trading in many respects is unique - there is no competition as such, no direct dependency between activity and productivity - at times, on the contrary, who does less movements, yields the greatest profit. The trader should understand that he trades not against the depersonalized market, the trader trades with himself - with his expectations.
To help the trader to improve the trading skills and to develop the profitable strategy of work, Forex Tester, which is a simulator of Forex market, has been developed by us. The software is developed in view of the wishes of traders. It is pleasant that it was found useful not only by the beginners, but also by the skilled traders who are trading profitable during several years.
In the software three basic functional blocks are combined: trainings, testing and analysis. At present the training block was already implemented which allows to make transactions on historical quotations with adjustable speed of their submission and the adjustable size of ticks (packages of quotations), once submitted in the schedule. All the perfect transactions find reflection in the list of transactions, there is the automatic calculation of statistics and schedules of the equity, balance, involved margins and drawdown are being displayed. All that allows to trace productivity of the made trading decisions. The trader receives fast feedback between the factors which have induced him to open the position and result of the perfect operation. At training on the demos-accounts offered by Forex-brokers, there are many distracting moments which disseminate attention. These are reading of news and independent analytical articles. Expectation of the outcome of the transaction pushes to infringement of ones own rules discounting the potential of the systematic work. Also the beginning trader replaces his priorities during training in conditions of real time: instead of profitable trading on the first place the desire to appear right in forecasting the market behavior is deduced to prove himself the opportunity to guess the direction of movement of exchange rates. And the process of "guessing" at greater extent is connected with self-deception: the transaction was already closed as unprofitable, only then the rate was displayed and went in the "right" direction, and the trader speaks: «Nevertheless I was right! Next time it will work out". Such an approach prevents to look objectively at things and to estimate ones own abilities.
The accent should be put not on the single result but on the process of trading. This or that approach should provide the statistical advantage. Having made thousand training transactions in our software the trader will start perceiving the trading in another way. The correct attitude to the market will be created. Nothing supernatural is expected from him. The understanding of the inherent restrictions connected with trading in the market comes; more precise reference points on expected potential profitableness are formed, risks are evaluated; and in this connection expectations and behavior are corrected - the purposes are targeted which are possible to aspire and which are really achievable.
The software is supplied with the convenient intuitive interface. Forex Tester allows saving time at training of skills and testing of the approaches not formalized completely with subjective multiplier. First of all the strategies related to recognition of patterns, levels of support/resistance, trend lines, generally speaking - the classical technical analysis.
The software makes the trader to think of the market as about the game and about the rules of this game. The accent on achievement of certain productivity is displaced instead of the abstract reflections about the destiny of the world economy, current market news, forecasts of fundamental analysts. When you think of game, you think - how to win? However, the most important, - there should be no passion - this is a direct way to defeat. Think about Forex as about chess and do not hurry up as in the racing, get yourself prepared for marathon... "

Online Forex Trading - Why Most Traders Cannot Adopt a Mindset To Win by Sacha Tarkovsky
Online Forex Trading - Why Most Traders Cannot Adopt a Mindset To Win
by Sacha Tarkovsky
FOREX trading looks easy yet few succeed.
If you are thinking of trading FOREX then you need to consider the fact 95% of traders lose their equity quickly.
FOREX trading is difficult as it means you have think and act in a totally different way and adopt a different mindset to win.
Here we will outline some of the mistakes novice traders make in adopting the right mindset.
1. Hard work does not guarantee success
In most professions the more you put in the more you get out.
In FOREX trading however this is simply not true, you don't go paid for effort, you get your reward for making winning trades.
Many people say "knowledge is power"
In FOREX trading the right knowledge is power and this does not mean working hard.
2. Systems have to be complicated
Nothing could be further from the truth.
In today's world of technological advances that astound us each day, it is tempting to think that we can conquer the markets with science, but trading remains simple.
Simple systems can and do work best, as they are more robust in the face of ever changing brutal market conditions.
Don't make the mistake of complicating your system.
3. Leave your ego behind
Most people have an ego and none of us want to look stupid, but if you trade you need to accept the market will make you look stupid on numerous occasions.
Be prepared to look and feel stupid, as the market does this to everyone.
4. Taking loses
Related to the above, people hate taking a small loss, after all if they leave it will turn around and they don't want to look stupid.
In a leveraged market this ends in disaster.
A small lose becomes a big loss, then reaches a stage where a trader faces wipe out and has to take it.
5. You need to have the courage to make big profits.
Surely we all want big gains?
We all do, but:
Most novice traders lack the courage to make big profits..
As soon as they get a profit they get excited and want to take it before it gets away, the bigger it gets the more tempted they get to bank their profit.
Add in the fact, that there are retracements into open equity that play havoc with emtotions when open equity is eaten into and the result is a trader will bank a profit of a couple of thousand and be happy.
If they had the courage of their conviction, in many instances they could make £10, 20,000 or more, by staying with the trade.
Currencies trend for months or years and if you have the courage to trade the major trends you can make huge profits, but you need to follow them.
6. Someone else can give me success
This is the biggest mistake in FOREX Trading and is rooted firmly in human nature.
We feel safe in groups and we are used to consulting an expert on a whole manner of things in life.
In FOREX Trading this is a bad move.
You need to know what you are doing and have total confidence in your own ability, without outside inputs.
Buying an e-book for $100 or so, is not going to make you a winner, neither is agreeing with the majority of so called experts in the media.
Firstly, no one can give you success it has to come from within and you will only be successful if you are confident in something you know will work for you.
Furthermore, the majority are wrong, so why follow them?
Trade in isolation, its not a normal human trait but one that is critical for success in online FOREX trading.
Trading can be lonely, make you look stupid and play havoc with your emotions, but if you can adopt the right mindset, you can and will succeed and the best part is:
If you do the above the rewards are huge.

Online FOREX Trading - Become a Successful Forex Trader in Two Weeks! by Sacha tarkovsky
Online FOREX Trading - Become a Successful Forex Trader in Two Weeks!
by sacha tarkovsky
One of the most inspiring stories I ever read, was how legendary trader Richard Dennis taught 14 people who had never traded before, to trade successfully in just two weeks.
The result?
They traded and went on to make millions and become some of the most famous traders of all time.
So how was it done and can you do the same? Let's find out.
Richard Dennis taught them three major points:
1. A simple method they could have confidence in.
2. Money management. 3. Applying the method with discipline.
His advice was very specific with no filler.
So, let's look at what you need to learn.
1. Method
You need a method you have confidence in and it needs to be simple.
There is no correlation between how complicated a method is and how much money it makes.
In fact, the reverse is true.
A complicated method has more components to break and is less robust in the face of brutal market conditions.
Look up "technical analysis" on the net and learn specifically how and why it works and also the theory of "trading breakouts"
You should be using a long term trend following methodology looking for the big trends that produce the big profits and breakout trading is ideal for this.
If you want to win at online forex trading, you need to know about breakouts.
Base your methodology on it - It's simple and it works.
Now you need to time entries.
Look at some indicators that are based on momentum and look up "stochastics" this is simply the best momentum indicator you can use.
2. Money Management
If you start with a "breakout method" and base your trading method on it, then stop placement is obvious.
If you only trade significant breaks your odds of success will be high.
3. Discipline
Is perhaps the hardest part of trading online forex.
You need to apply your method with rigid discipline otherwise you have no method at all.
Discipline is all about experience and even seasoned traders find it hard to keep executing a method when a string of losses occur.
However, you are part of the way there to having discipline, if you have devised your own method.
You know its logic and should be able to stay with it as you will have confidence in it to work.
All the material you need to get up and running is free and on the internet, but it's worth reading a few books.
These are my favorites and will they inspire you.
1. Market Wizards and The New Market Wizards ( edit )
By Jack Shwager.
These are interviews with some of the top traders of all time including:
Richard Dennis and the turtles and many more - Packed with insight and very inspiring.
2. Trader Vic
By Victor Sperandeo.
A true trading legend, who shares with us his thoughts on trading, money management and trading psychology, a fantastic all round book.
By all means read a few more, but these three are my favorites from over 500 I have read.
Trading is Simple, yet people try and complicate it.
They think the more effort they put in the more they will get out - This is totally false.
Work smart not hard!
If you want to make money you need to work smart not hard and if you want a perfect example of this look at the turtles!
In just two weeks they all became great traders.
Maybe, you wont make as much money as them, but if you learn and do the above, you will have the basic platform to make big profits in online forex trading.
Finally, you will have done it all on your own and will have given yourself success, how satisfying is that?

FOREX Trading Systems - How to Pick One with Big Profit Potential by Sacha tarkovsky
FOREX Trading Systems - How to Pick One with Big Profit Potential
by sacha tarkovsky
Forex Trading systems can give you a ready made way to make profits from FOREX trading.
The problem is 90% are junk and are not worth the money.
This article is about choosing a FOREX Trading system with the potential to make big gains.
Let's look at some things that you need to consider:
1. Never pick a day trading system!
FOREX day trading systems are very popular, but they simply don't work and the logic is totally stupid.
Why?
Because all short term volatility is random and therefore you can't trade it.
If you don't believe the above, then ask for a real time track record of profits and you won't get one.
2. Pick a simple system
It's a fact that simple systems work better than complicated ones as they are more robust in the face of brutal market conditions.
There is no correlation between how complicated a system is and how much money it makes.
Simple systems are also easier to understand and this makes them easier to follow through inevitable losing periods.
3. Make sure the logic is revealed
Never buy a black box system where you don't know how it works.
The reason for this is like in point 2, if you don't understand it, you won't be able to follow it through losing periods with discipline.
4. Beware of optimization
Never consider a system that uses different parameters to trade different currencies.
The logic should work on all currencies or not at all.
Many vendors simply tweak the parameters to curve fit the data to make a profit.
This is similar to shooting at a target and drawing bulls eyes around every shot afterwards.
5. Track record
Ideally you want a track record that is real time and has made real dollars for the vendor.
Be wary of hypothetical track records which of course are done in hindsight, knowing the closing prices.
Anyone can make a profit this way!
Look for a track record of 2 years or more, that is real ie has been traded live without the benefit of hinsight - Either with money or done in a simulated fashion but audited by an independent ratings agency.
6. Study the peak to valley drawdown
Look at the worst drawdown on the track record and its time to recovery and decide if you are comfortable with it.
Always assume your worst drawdown is ahead of you.
Some traders can take drawdowns of 50% or more others can't, so get one your comfortable with.
7. Support and money back guarantee
Reputable vendors will give you good support and will normally provide a money back guarantee, as they have confidence in their product.
Do some research on the vendor and never buy a FOREX trading system without a guarantee.
Finally
There is no free lunch with forex trading systems so use common sense when buying one.
The above tips will help you pick one of the small percentage that make big gains.
Doing the above research will save you from potential losses and could see you make some great profits.

Forex trading, or foreign exchange current exchange trading, is a global phenomenon. This is the single largest market in the world. There are many different market sectors that are involved with Forex trading. These include, but are not limited to; " Banks" Corporations" Governments" IndividualsWhat is Forex trading you ask? At its simplest, Forex trading is currency being traded for another currency. However, Forex trading is anything but simple. The market has massive trade volume and is very fluid. Not to mention the hundreds of different currencies being traded and their ever changing value.Forex trading is a very focused area of trading, but the amount of time and energy most people and companies spend getting trained and educated on Forex trading and its inner workings and pitfalls, is at least as much time as it takes to learn the stock market.Because of the complexity, Forex Trading is not your typical overnight success operation. There are many large corporations, such as GCI Financial which is a market leader in this space.Forex trading is unique in that everyone does not have access to all of the same information and prices at the same time, as they do with the stock market. I won't get into specifics here, but basically there is a tiered level whereby different levels of access are given to the Forex traders and Forex firms.The other main thing to remember about Forex trading is, until such time that the world adopts a single currency, Forex Trading will be around for a very long time.

Take Advantage of Forex for Online Earning by Ben Franklin
Take Advantage of Forex for Online Earning
by Ben Franklin
One of the most popular online activities in the past few years has been Forex trading. It is considered one of the most important online opportunities and this is not too far from the truth indeed. But what exactly is Forex trading and what are the advantages that make it the most important online trading option?
Most people, when they hear the word "forex," they immediately associate it the words "risk" or even gamble." The truth is that you control how much you want to risk, no one can force you. Still, Forex trading is not for the faint hearted, but it has some undeniable advantages that make it a great income opportunity for people who are willing to take some chances.
One of the most important advantages of the Forex market is the impressive amount of liquidity volume. An impressive sum of about 2 trillion dollars are said to be traded everyday. This is also the reason why the market is so stable and it allows the traders to get the money in and out without much of a headache.
Then, the company offers an around the clock and very dynamic market. The Forex market has a far more appealing time span than other markets. The trading starts Sunday at 3 o'clock PM EST when New Zealand begins operating. It lasts until Friday 5 PM when EST when San Francisco area closes operations. You can practically work in any time zone.
The low initial investment is another appealing factor to people. You will need a far smaller amount of money to get rolling than in any other existing market. Even if you have as little as $300 to begin with, you can still start making money. This translates into an absolutely minimum investment risk.
The fact that you can trade from anywhere in the world is another important advantage. Worldwide trading allows you to make your trading offers from anywhere in the world, and all you need is a computer with an internet connection. Your trusty laptop is all you need even if you plan your vacation but you still want to be able to do some trading.
Also, the market is a very specialized one. The great majority of all the transactions are made in the most important seven currencies. This means that you will get good at it much faster than usual, and you will manage to get the feel of it in no time.
These five major advantages are what make most people consider starting a trading business. Still, you have to remember that there are some risks involved. If you are not aware of the fact that you can indeed lose some money, you would better stay away. It takes some time to become an expert. However, once you are there, Forex trading can bring you great rewards.

Top Tips and Resources for Forex Trading Success by Ben Franklin
Top Tips and Resources for Forex Trading Success
by Ben Franklin
Forex trading has slowly but surely become one of the most popular online activities in the past few years. Most people, when they are asked about an online money making opportunity, don't hesitate and nominate the Forex market. But many people don't know anything about it. So, what is Forex trading and what makes it the most important online money exchange option?
Although it has indeed gained notoriety, the word "forex" is still mostly associated with the words "risk," "exposure" or even "gamble." There is some truth to that, because Forex trading is not for the faint hearted, but its undeniable advantages make it a great income opportunity for people who are willing to take some chances.
The first one that would pop on top of anyone's head is the impressive amount of liquidity volume. An awe-inspiring sum of about 2 trillion dollars is being speculated everyday. That's a lot of money that changes hands and it, in turn, generates more money, similar to a snowball effect. The market is therefore very stable and it allows the traders to get the money in and out without any problems at all.
Then, there is the time table which is very convenient. The company offers an around the clock and very dynamic market. The trading begins on Sunday at 3 o'clock PM EST when New Zealand begins operating. It lasts until Friday 5 PM when EST when San Francisco closes operations. You can practically work in any time zone you desire.
It also has the advantage of a low initial investment. This is another appealing factor to people who consider starting trading. You will actually need a far smaller amount of money to get you on your way than in any other existing market. As little as 300$ can get you started. This basically means an absolutely minimum investment risk.
Then, you can trade from anywhere in the world and this is another important advantage. Worldwide trading allows you to make your trading offers from anywhere in the world, and all you need is a computer with and an internet connection. Your trusty laptop is all you need even if you plan your dream vacation but you still want to be able to do some trading in between two cocktails.
The market's specialization results in the majority of transactions being made in the most important seven currencies. This means that you will get good at it much faster than usual, and you will manage to get the feel of it in no time.
These five important advantages are what determine most people to consider starting a trading business. The risks involved are also worthy of attention, because if you are not aware of them, it's better that you stay away. It's not easy, but once you become an expert, Forex trading can turn into an impressive money making machine.

Truthful Answers about Foreign Exchange (Forex) by Christopher Smith
Truthful Answers about Foreign Exchange (Forex)
by Christopher Smith
One of the largest money markets in the world today is the Forex market. Traders from around the globe meet both in person and online to swap varied currencies for other currencies in desire of making big money. But what is Foreign Exchange (Forex)? How do you make money at it?, What involved with foreign exchange trading? These and similar questions tend to come up when people dispute the Forex market. The following is designed to help you grasp what this new investment tool is, how it works, and how you might be able to make some money by working the system in your favor.
Here are some common questions relating to Forex Trading:
What made countries move from the Gold Standard to the current agreement?
The challenge with the Gold Standard is that it triggered bouncing periods of recession and economy booms. A country that was doing well economically would import goods from overseas until their gold reserves were too low to properly carry the economy. Finally. Eventually, the recession would cause the cost of that country's goods to sink so low that its goods were very attractive to other countries. Those countries who were doing well economically would begin to import goods and the cycle would continue from country to country. An accord called the Bretton Woods Agreement, the agreement that set the price of the US Dollar and set all other participating countries currencies against it, ended after World War 2 when international trade became so widespread as to render the agreement useless.
When did the Forex Market start?
The market started in the early 1970s. Prior to that, there was an accord between most economic powers of the era that prevented speculation in the currency market. The accord was created in 1945 with the aim of stabilizing international currencies. Most currency was set to challenge the US Dollar, which was set at $35 dollars per ounce of gold. Prior to that, the Gold Standard was followed, which kept kings and dictators from arbitrarily lowering or raising the price of gold in order to trigger inflation. It was considered a good course to keep economies steadfast and it worked for awhile.
What are the most common organizations to take part in Forex trading?
The largest organizations to take part in Forex trading are large banks. Given that they tend to have billions of dollars, they can often access the top tier of Forex trading. After that, it would be Commercial companies and Central banks. These two organizations tend to do the most "on paper" trading, trading over longer periods. After that, it would be investment management firms. These companies tend to exchange currencies more to secure foreign assets for their customers than to make a profit. Lastly, retail brokers who take part in the market on behalf of individuals make up about two per cent of the whole market.
What is the Forex Market?
The Foreign Exchange or Forex market is, at its most basic level, any place where one currency is exchanged for another currency. More specifically, it's where one country's currency is exchanged for another country's currency. An organization, such as a bank or a company, in one country will exchange big amounts of their own country's currency for another country's currency in the hopes that the exchange rate for the currencies will change in their favor. When and if they do, the organization will then exchange the foreign currency they have for their own country's currency and will have made a profit.
How does the current agreement work?
Currently, there is no agreement. Countries base the worth of their money from internal economical situations. If the current economical situation is good, their money is worth more. Conversely, if the economic situation is not so good, the money is worth less. This ultimately is what led to the existing Forex Market. Since money worth is based off almost nebulous forces, an organization can attempt to gauge a country's current economical situation. With luck, they can guess correctly and attempt to buy other currency when the currency is worth less and sell the currency when it's worth more. This is how the Forex Market works.
Does Forex Trading cause any economic hardships?
Debatably, yes. Based on the Forex market, many large banks will change their interest rates and sometimes their exchange rates (since banks will sometimes have different exchange rates based on various factors). In general, this doesn't end up causing much in the way of problems. But occasionally it can cause foreign currency to seem unappealing, which causes doubt in that country's market. Because of doubt, people stop purchasing that country's goods and things go downhill. Some economists, however, argue that this only happens with countries that have been mismanaging their economy, and that a healthy economy is able to withstand fluctuations in the market. So, yes, one can argue that the Forex market can cause financial hardship. But one can also argue that it does not.

An organization, such as a bank or a company, in one country will exchange big amounts of their own country's currency for another country's currency in the hopes that the exchange rate for the currencies will change in their favor. When and if they do, the organization will then exchange the foreign currency they have for their own country's currency and will have made a profit.
How does the current agreement work?
Currently, there is no agreement. Countries base the worth of their money from internal economical situations. If the current economical situation is good, their money is worth more. Conversely, if the economic situation is not so good, the money is worth less. This ultimately is what led to the existing Forex Market. Since money worth is based off almost nebulous forces, an organization can attempt to gauge a country's current economical situation. With luck, they can guess correctly and attempt to buy other currency when the currency is worth less and sell the currency when it's worth more. This is how the Forex Market works.
Does Forex Trading cause any economic hardships?
Debatably, yes. Based on the Forex market, many large banks will change their interest rates and sometimes their exchange rates (since banks will sometimes have different exchange rates based on various factors). In general, this doesn't end up causing much in the way of problems. But occasionally it can cause foreign currency to seem unappealing, which causes doubt in that country's market. Because of doubt, people stop purchasing that country's goods and things go downhill. Some economists, however, argue that this only happens with countries that have been mismanaging their economy, and that a healthy economy is able to withstand fluctuations in the market. So, yes, one can argue that the Forex market can cause financial hardship. But one can also argue that it does not.

Practicing In The Forex Market by J.Foley
Practicing In The Forex Market
by J. Foley
So you want to learn about the Forex market, and trading internationally but you are risking your personal wealth if you jump in before knowing all about how trading takes place. Online, you will find many games and simulations while learning the methods involved in forex market trading. The forex markets include countries from around the world, where all countries involved are using different currencies, and when faced against each other are worth more or less than the original valued currencies that are being traded. The forex markets are used to build wealth in, for governments, banks, and brokers, and for many countries.
To get started in learning about forex trading, you will need to locate the forex trading software, education-learning system you want to use. As you find the games, as they are called, you will enter information about yourself, about what you are interested in learning and then you will download software to your computer. In following the 'game', you will learn how to make and lose money in the forex market. This type of game is going to make you more aware of what happens daily, how the markets open and close, and how different the various countries currencies really are.
You will open an online 'account' using the gaming system. You will then be able to read the news, find and compare markets, and you will be able to make 'fake' trades so you can watch your money build or be eaten away in losses. As you learn the system, using it a few times a week, you are going to be more prepared, more educated and you will be ready to use the forex trades to make money. Of course, you may still need the aid of broker or a company to make your transactions happen but you will better understand the process, what will happen, and what calls you may want to make when you read about the news, the markets, and the currencies in other countries.
The forex market is also referred to as the FX market. If you are interested in joining the millions who are making money in the forex markets, you want to ensure you are dealing with a reputable banker or company involved in forex trading. With the spur of interest in the forex markets, there are many types of companies that are popping out on the Internet appearing to be genuine forex trading companies but in reality, they are not. Forex trading can be completed through a broker, a company that deals in the funds, and from within your own country. For example, the US has many regulations and laws regarding forex trading and what companies are permitted to work with the public dealing with international trading and markets.

Forex Trading - The Basics by Eddie Yakubovich
Forex Trading - The Basics
by Eddie Yakubovich
Is forex trading for you? Well, the fairest way to answer that is by explaining the basics of foreign exchange trading to you.
First things first, the Forex is a market on which the currency of one country is "compared" to the currency of another country in order to determine a value. This value is what you will be trading.
The forex, or foreign exchange market is open and availalbe for trading 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. This gives the currency trading markets a distinct advantage over all other financial markets available to investors.
Also, the size of the forex absolutely dwarfs all other financial markets combined. This massive size creates unique advantages over all other trading tools.
According to most forex brokers, all stop orders (with few exceptions) will be filled at their enetered price. In trading terms this means no slippage. I can't even begin to put a value on this feature.
Due to this quality you can have orders filled of up to $20 million of currency at the market price. Again, an almost unnatural feature when compared to other trading markets.
A more advanced feature is the ability to sell short with no regulations. Ok, technically you are never selling currency short, but I won't get into that in this article.
What this means is that, if at any time you believe the value of a currency is going to decrease, you will be able to take act on your hunch without delay.
Another one of a kind characteristic of the forex market is it's amazingly accurate technical analysis. Like all other financial trading tools, the forex market has all of its' "stocks charted". This is no big surprise, or advantage.
However, unlike other tools, all points on a chart in the forex are based on the bid price. So, Eddie, why does this matter to me? Because this means that the spread is not factored into the chart price. This leads to a much more accurate and readable chart.
In fact, the spread is constant on all forex currency pairs. Some have spreads as low as 2 pips and others as high as 10 or even more. However, they remain constatn with almost all forex brokers and forex banks. This is yet another reason to look at the forex markets.
In my incredibly humble opinion, there is no market that provides the opportunity and benefits like the foreign exchange. The forex has been traded by banks and financial institutions for decades. Now, you, as an individual can climb into the ring and take your shots.
Ok, hopefully this gives you some sort of direction of whether or not forex trading is right for you.
Stay tuned, there will be much more info to come in the near future.

by Jason Rockfeller
The market

How does one profit in Forex?
Obviously, buy cheap and sell for more! The profit potential comes from the fluctuations (changes) in the currency exchange market.The nice thing about the FOREX market, is that regular daily fluctuations, say - around 1%, are multiplied by 100! (in general, Easy-Forex™ offers trading ratios from 1:50 to 1:200).
How risky is Forex trading?
You cannot lose more than your "margin" (your initial investment)! You may profit unlimited amounts, but you never lose more than what you initially risked. However, risk only what you can afford and is not vital for your well-being.
How do I start trading?
Register (Easy-Forex™ offers the simplest and quickest registration process, no obligation); deposit your first trading "margin" amount (credit cards are welcome, only by Easy-Forex™); start trading.

Mini Forex Trading by Paul Bryan
Mini Forex Trading
by Paul Bryan
Mini Forex Trading account is extremely helpful for a new trader who is more interested in developing a disciplined, rational trading strategy without focusing entirely on profits and losses.
When you start forex trading you can start with a paper trading account with which you can understand how the market moves and you can develop more skills and knowledge about this trading account. Once you are successful with the paper trading account then you can move in for the Mini Forex Trading account.
In mini forex trading, you get all the benefits of a full-size forex accounts. The same software, charts and graphs can be used while handling mini forex trading. But it helps you to develop confidence needed to be a successful without the anxiety and distractions that come when large sums are on stake.
Mini Forex trading is done in smaller contract sizes of ten thousand units, which is 1/10th the size of the standard account. For opening a mini forex account you would require 250-300 dollars. Here one PIP is equivalent to one dollar for EUR/USD and GBP/USD.
With a mini forex trading account you can learn risk management, which will help you in future while dealing full-size trading account. You can trade by using one mini lot and can then build up on the lot size later.
In conventional sense, you should use only one mini lot for a thousand dollar that you have in your account. Say if you have five thousand dollars, you can take only five mini lots. But in mini forex trading the pip value is one dollar and therefore, you can concentrate on building strategies without paying much attention to the profit and loss.
With Mini Forex trading, you can invest just $250, but trade 10,000 worth of a currency because of the high leverage. In a mini account, the margin deposit requirement per $10,000 lot traded is only $50. This leads to a leverage of 200 to 1 (10,000/50 = 200). Therefore, with your $250, you can trade a maximum of 5 mini lots, with $500 a maximum of 10, with $1000 a maximum of 20, etc.
So the basic advantages of Mini Forex trading are:
The account can be opened with as small an amount as $250
It has a leverage of 200 - 1
It facilitates smaller trade size
The account helps new forex traders build confidence as they are trying out different strategies
There are other methods like Base 10 Trading for small traders. But Mini forex trading is most suitable if you want to maintain the account under $10,000. It will provide you the flexibility of implementing strategies and offer more staying power in the forex market as you can take advantage of multiple trades without over-leveraging your trading account.

Contrary Trading - 2 Powerful Tools To Catch the Mega Trends by Sacha Tarkovsky
Contrary Trading - 2 Powerful Tools To Catch the Mega Trends
by sacha tarkovsky
Here we are going to look at two contrary trading tools that most traders never use, yet if you use them as part of your FOREX Trading method you will spot and see the really big trend changes.
These contrary moves are the ones all traders want and these two little known tools will help you Hit them for big profits.
The tools are % Bullish and the Commitment of Traders Report Net Traders Positions Report.
These tools will add a new dimension to your trading so let's look at them.
We all know that the really big trend changes come when greed and fear have pushed prices to far either up or down.
When prices are pushed to far from fair value they eventually turn around and go the other way.
Here are two tools which will help you spot when a market has been pushed to far and a turn is likely.
We have written more in depth on both of these indicators, so look them up. Here we will introduce you to them and show you how to incorporate them in your trading plan.
1. % Bullish
This is a poll of investors and people involved in FOREX and it assesses the bullishness of the market.
If the number is below 20% prices are probably oversold and if they are above 80%, they are probably overbought.
The fact is if the fundamentals are to bullish a trend change is due and the same applies if they are too bearish.
Keeping an eye on the % bullish number will alert you to big contrary trades forming.
2. Commitment of Traders Report
How would you like to track the really successful investors and see what they do, well that's what this report does and its free!
Every two weeks the CFTC publishes a breakdown of the holdings of the futures markets (including the major currencies) and these positions are very useful for FOREX traders to.
Hedgers get preferential margin treatment if they disclose their positions - these guys are close the fundamentals and are the smart money.
The other two groups in the report are small and large speculators.
Hedgers are looking simply to protect their position and will move their positions slowly.
They are not influenced by the emotions of greed or fear and when a price moves to far from the fundamentals they will aggressively sell a market top and buy a market bottom.
Speculators both large and small are influenced by greed and fear.
When you see extremes:
Commercials heavily long or short and speculators opposing them - prices will break in favor of the commercials in most cases.
These two indicators will help you spot every major market top or bottom.
Once you spot a position it is then a question of timing your move by using technical analysis.
These 2 contrary trading tools will help you spot the opportunity then it's to your charts and use your normal tools to get in on the action!

Internet and Computer Systems in the FOREX BusinessWith every passing year the interest in electronic trading is bigger, more especially trading shares and currency through Internet. A new profession came forward - this of the currency dealer.
The Secrets of the Super-TradersThe first and perhaps most important "secret" is to realize that your methodology or approach (no matter how good) is only part of being a highly successful trader. This applies to any trading style including, day trading, swing trading or position trading.

Five Top Advantages of Forex Trading Today by Ray La Foy
Five Top Advantages of Forex Trading Today
by Ray La Foy
Forex trading has become a very popular activity in the last few years. Many people around the world see it as a big opportunity and they are not too wrong about it either. But what are the strong points of Forex trading and what put it in the front of the online trading industry?
Most people when hearing the word "forex" think immediately of great risks and undesirable exposure. You risk as much as you want to risk, no one can force you into it. However, forex trading is indeed not for the faint hearted, but it has some undeniable advantages that make it a great income opportunity for people who are willing to take some chances.
TREMENDOUS LIQUIDITY VOLUMEThis is one of the biggest advantages of the Forex market. It is speculated that about 2 trillion dollars are being traded everyday. It isn't necessary for me to tell you what large a sum that is. This allows a greater stability to develop and the traders have no problems in getting money in and out.
AROUND THE CLOCK MARKETThe Forex market has a far more appealing time span. It all starts Sunday at 3 o'clock PM EST when New Zealand begins operating. It lasts until Friday 5 PM when EST when San Francisco area closes operations. You can practically work in any time zone.
LOW INVESTMENTYou will need a far smaller amount of money to get going than in any other market. You can start making money for as low as 300$. This is an important advantage, I am sure that you can see that. It basically means that you can keep your investment risk to an absolute minimum.
WORLDWIDE TRADINGThis is another important advantage, as you can make your trading offers from anywhere in the world, all you need is a computer or an internet connection. So, even if you plan your vacation but you still want to be able to do some trading, all you need to take along is your trusty laptop.
SPECIALIZATIONThe great majority of all the transactions are made in the most important seven currencies. This means that you will get good at it much faster than usual, and you will manage to get the feel of it in no time.
These five major advantages are what make most people start trading. Still, you have to remember that there are some risks involved. If you are not aware of that, you would better stay away. However, if you manage to learn it and to become an expert, Forex trading can bring you great rewards.

Advantages of Forex Trading by Pj Germain
Advantages of Forex Trading
by Pj Germain
When considering investing for the first time, you may have run into several different types of ways of gaining profits, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. While Forex may be the lesser known type of investing, it is seemingly the one with the most advantages.
Forex investing is the act of trading one currency for another in order to gain profit. With a daily average of over 1.8 trillion dollars, it is pretty easy to see why the Forex market is the largest in the world.
The Forex does not actually have a physical address. Instead, the Forex market is a network of central banks and investors all over the world that handle currency, and the trading of such. Because the Forex market deals in all countries in the world, including the United States, Asia, and Europe, the market is open 24 hours a day. You can trade Forex anytime, anywhere, as long as you have the knowledge to do so(or a professional broker or trading program) and access to a computer.
Due to the rising popularity of the market, brokers and online programs have made simulated programs, which allow you to trade in real time, without the use of actual money. This, along with various other forms of education, allows you to prepare to trade without actually losing any money in the process. You can trade using "fake" money as long as you feel necessary before diving into the Forex market will real money.
The Forex market is an extremely liquid market, allowing you to control your profits. You have the ability to invest as little or as large amount of money as you would like. Most other types of investments require you to place large amounts of money up for extended amounts of time. Forex trading works on a margin system, which means you only have to put a portion of the contract up. This money is more of an insurance policy just in case the contract goes negative. Say for example, you have a one million dollar contract. Instead of having to put up the full one million dollars to start the transaction, you are only required to put you a percentage, which is typically around 1%, or $10,000.
You have several options when it comes to investing. You can attempt to invest yourself, though I would strongly caution you against it, since over 95% of buyers who have never traded before will only break even, if not loose profit, the first year. It is safer to get a good working knowledge of the market before trying it on your. The next option is hiring a professional broker, who is trained to invest and handle your money efficiently. Finally, you have the option of using a online trading that does the work for you. When using the online program, you are asked to set up predetermined limits and stipulations for trading. The program will them take these and trade for you when the market conditions meets your requirements. This is perhaps one of the most efficient ways to invest in the Forex market since the program will run 24 hours a day.
One of the best advantages to the Forex market is the fact that you do not have to rely on the market to be up in order to make money. Profits can be made in both upward trends and downward trends.

Analyzing Movements In The Forex Market by Donald Saunders
Analyzing Movements In The Forex Market
by Donald Saunders
Movements in the Forex market are based upon the simple law of supply and demand. When there is a demand for a particular currency its price will rise and when there is an excessive supply of a currency its price will fall. Despite this seemingly simple principle, predicting movements in foreign exchange prices is not at all easy.
Today there are two main methods used to predict movements in the Forex market - fundamental analysis, which dominated the Forex market until the mid 1980s, and technical analysis, which has become increasingly popular in recent years with the arrival of new technology providing the necessary analytical tools.
Fundamental Analysis
Traders who base their predictions on fundamental analysis focus their attention on the economic, political and social factors which drive supply and demand. Their analysis is based upon such things as interest rates, inflation, unemployment and economic growth rates and from these they make an assessment of a currency's present performance and predict its future movement.
The biggest problem with fundamental analysis is that it requires the trader to constantly keep abreast of events and to analyze a huge amount of data. There is also considerable debate about just what data should be included in this analysis and just how much weight should be given to each of the various indicators.
All analysts would however agree that central to fundamental analysis is a country's balance of payments which shows the flow of money in and out of a country. In theory at least, a balance of payments of zero would produce a static price and a balance of payments surplus or deficit would cause the currency to move. For example, a balance of payments deficit indicates that money is leaving a country faster than it is coming in and would normally result in a fall in the value of the currency.
Technical Analysis
The technical analyst studies price movements and uses historical price data to predict future prices.
There are two principles to technical analysis. The first is that history repeats itself and that prices will move today according to patterns which have been well established over time. The second is that it is not necessary to study current market information to predict movements in the market as this will already be reflected in currency prices. In other words, it is the movement in the price itself which needs to be studied to predict the direction in which it is heading.
The primary tool of the technical analyst is a chart which presents a graphic representation of the market over time and allows trends to be spotted in the pattern of price movements. A wide variety of different charting techniques are used including such things as moving averages, candlestick charts, oscillators, Fibonacci retracement levels, Bollinger bands and others.

FOREX Advice should you buy it? Read This First by Sacha Tarkovsky
FOREX Advice should you buy it? Read This First
by Sacha Tarkovsky
Should you by FOREX advice from a guru or mentor?
Many novice traders think they should do this and it's easy to make money but you need to be very careful of the FOREX advice you buy as, 99% of advice sold on the net won't give you profits.
Here are some pointers on getting the RIGHT FOREX advice.
If the advice is so good why are they selling it?
Look around the net and you will see lot's of FOREX advice that promises you instant riches, but consider this:
Most FOREX advice sold relies on sales copy that sounds convincing but the reality does not add up:
When you see FOREX advice sold, the first step is to make sure that the person selling it has a real time track record.
If they haven't traded it and made money, why on earth would you want to buy it?
Look for a real time track record, which is audited over one or two years.
If they can't provide this:
Don't buy it.
There is a vast amount of FOREX advice sold ( mostly by sales people who have never traded in their lives or failed brokers and it won't make you money) they don't trade themselves, but what they will give you in the vast majority of cases is:
A hypothetical track record.
Keep in mind - A hypothetical track record is done in hindsight knowing the closing prices!
Of course we can all make money doing this and you will never see one that loses, until you come to trade it!
Also, don't trust testimonials.
These are normally friends, or someone who has had a lucky trade.
It's a real time track record you are after.
This may not give you profits in future, but will show you that the vendor at least has confidence in his FOREX advice and that the logic is soundly based.
If you find a system with a track record the next step is to make sure you understand and the methodology suits your trading personality.
You will never follow advice from someone else ( even if it has a great track record ) if you don't understand the logic it is based upon and can take the losses that occur on any system.
If you understand the logic of the FOREX advice you will be able to follow it with discipline.
Also, check the worst peak to valley drawdown, time to recovery and see if that fits in with your risk tolerance.
There is lots of FOREX Advice you can buy but only a small percentage of it makes money and an even smaller percentage of it will suit your trading personality.
Follow the above tips if you want to buy FOREX advice and make money.
A real time track record is your starting point.
Then, you need to know the logic the FOREX advice is based upon and finally, make sure you can follow it through the inevitable periods of drawdown.

FOREX Education - Want to Win? Don't Pay Attention To The News! By Sacha Tarkovsky
FOREX Education - Want to Win? Don't Pay Attention To The News!
by sacha tarkovsky
The rise of the internet has seen more news and FOREX education than ever before become available to traders and it's available instantly, but it won't help you make money.
In fact if you try and trade by utilizing news stories you will lose and a simple fact will explain why:
Fact:
Consider this:
50 years ago around 90% of traders lost all their money and this figure remains the same today 90%.
This is despite the huge range of new tools and breaking online news that is available to help traders - the ratio still remains the same.
The reason for this is an important part of your FOREX education:
Markets move to the following equation
Market fundamentals + Investor Perception = Price movement.
We all see the news but it is the way all the investors interpret it that is important.
The market is a discounting mechanism and all the news instantly is reflected in the fundamentals.
If you see experts talking on the TV or writing stories, then this information is discounted - The arguments may sound convincing, but that is what the media does sell stories.
The experts who put out stories are not traders and their more often than not dead wrong.
If it was easy to trade off news stories, a lot more traders would make money and the fact is they don't.
By listening to the news and acting upon it you will lose.
Let's go back to the equation:
Market fundamentals + Investor perception = Price movement
As the market is instantly discounting news we can simply assume all fundamentals and news is instantly reflected in price action.
All you need to do is follow price action and focus on investor perception of the fundamentals.
This makes a technical approach ignoring the news the best way to trade the markets.
As investor psychology is constant, repetitive chart patterns can be spotted and acted upon.
If you try and use the news you will simply lose.
Consider the fact that markets collapse when the fundamentals are most bullish and rally when they are most bearish and you will see that trying to act of the news is a waste of time.
How many times do you see a market ignore the news and go the other way?
It happens all the time.
Will Rogers famously said:
"I only believe what I read in the papers"
He was joking, but many FOREX traders actually do believe what they read and think they can trade off it and lose.
The market is a discounting mechanism and trying to trade off news stories will most likely see you fail.
So if you want to make money trading FOREX keep in mind this important bit of FOREX Education
Understand the past, think in the present and look to the future.
You can do this by simply following technical analysis and see future trend changes people listening to the news will never see.

Factors That Move & Shake The Forex Market by Brian Lee
Factors That Move & Shake The Forex Market
by Brian Lee
There is no way to really understand the workings of the Forex (Fx or Foreign exchange) currency market unless you've got a firm comprehension of what elements can shape the manner the Forex (Fx or Foreign exchange) market will operate on any given day. Here are some examples of the assorted factors that can come into play each and every single day and impact the Forex (Fx or Foreign exchange) market for better or for worse.
Perhaps one of the up most common variable that can shape the daily market is that of economics within any given country. One very important element that can make a really big difference in how well a nation's currency will trade that day, has a lot to do with the total sum of the deficit presently held by the current nation's governing body. Sudden spikes in the deficit will result in the underlying nation's currency dropping in exchange with other countries. As the nation's governing body reduces the shortfall, the nation's currency will begin to recuperate and rise in the exchange rate.
Along with the budget shortfall, a trade deficit can also affect the exchange rate. Simply put, if a nation isn't doing at least as much exporting of services and goods as its importation, a deficit develops. This is a very clear economic sign that will have a damaging impact on the economic value of the nation's currency exchange rate.
As with all aspects of life, political relations also can have a positive effect on currency rates of exchange, or it can bottom them out. Changes in governing bodies that are considered in a damaging light will very rapidly reflect a devaluing of the nation's currency. The same is held true when the government makes decisions that are taken as not being in the better interests of the global community. At the same time, an election that elects government personal, who are looked on to be positive by the world community, can very speedily raise the value of that country's currency, at least as long as those officials keep up their favorable position.
Internal inflation or recessions will also play a very big part in the way the foreign exchange rate of a given country is appraised. Inflation particularly has the power to cause currencies to suffer a lost. As a nation embarks into a period of time where inflation is rampant, the desirability of the underlying currency will drop, as it's perceived as being more volatile in general. Because inflation diminishes the buying power of a country internally, it's also seen as being a shortfall in the power to buy goods and services from other nations. As inflation is reined in and times of mild recession come into play, the value of the currency will once more climb in comparison to other countries.
The fact of the matter is that quite a number of elements that have to do with trading and the overall fiscal picture of a country will make a very big difference in how the country's currency exchange rate will perform on any day. Some elements may result in only temporary upwards or downwards trends, while others will have more long-run effects. One thing is for sure: the Forex (Fx or Foreign exchange) currency market is a fast-paced environment that never gets boring.
