Reduce Currency Trading Risk

I'm going to take the time to share with you how you can reduce currency trading risk. This market has a lot of money moving around each day and there is a lot of money to be made. With these kinds of rewards, there is definitely a lot of risk. Learning how you reduce it, can really help protect your long term profits and leave you with much more confidence in this business. I'm going to take the time to share with you how you some of my experience trading over the years that will help you reduce your overall risk.

I think the best thing you can do is choose a competent time of trading. You're typically granted the high volume (business time) and low volume (late evening, overnight) to make your trades. The problem is that one of these times is more risky than the other. If you look at the low volume time, there isn't much in the way of trading. It is much more calm and would appear more "safe", but that isn't so. Since there is so little volume, supply and demand can easily go erratic with one big trade. If you look at high volume times, supply and demand is solid. There will be a negligible change from large trades.

Another way of reducing currency trading risk is to learn how to read candlestick graphs fast and competently. This type of graph is the most common used because it looks the cleanest and has the most information on it. Understanding it easily can help you identify how the market will behave, so you can make the best possible trade.

Forex Candlesticks Made Easy is an excellent book on learning how to read candlestick graphs. It works on the philosophy that you should just understand the graphs, rather than memorizing dozens of scenarios.

Guide To Profitable Forex Trading

I wanted to present this guide to profitable forex trading because I know there are a lot of new traders out there that are noticing their savings account going down. It takes a certain caliber of behavior to be a good forex trader and I hope to share that with you.

The first skill you're going to have to develop is that of controlling your emotions. Emotional thinking is really the enemy in this business. You don't have to worry about competitors; you have to worry about yourself getting emotional and making trades in that mindset. If you find yourself getting "upset" or "worked up", than you need to learn to control these emotions. If you experience them, the best thing you can do is walk away until you clear your head, so you can get back to making logical trading choices.

The next thing you need to develop is the ability to let go of a bad trade. This really has to do with being able to cut your losses. Bad trades happen all the time to everyone. They really aren't that bad if you can contain them before they get bad. The best thing you can do is set a stop loss point before you make the trade. That is deciding before hand if the currency drops to this point, I will exit the trade.

Lastly, you'll want to avoid the problem of overconfidence. Often after you make some good trades that your head will get inflated and you think you are really good. What will happen is you'll view things as very bullish and when prices don't reflect that, you end up losing out. Try to be humble with your profitable trades and continue on the path of learning.

This was my guide to profitable forex trading. I hope you enjoyed it and use these tips to your advantage.

How a Stop Loss Can Work Against You in Forex Trading

Proper money management in forex trading is essential for long term successful trades. This usually means among other things, setting a stop loss to control losses. The tricky part is how much of a stop loss should you set? If you set too much of a stop loss you are exposing yourself to excessive risk and the possibility of losing a large amount if the trade reverses. On the other hand if you set too narrow a stop loss you run the risk of being stopped out of the trade if the temporary replacement goes beyond your stop loss and then resumes the original direction.

I learned the need for this on a trade I did today. The trade signals were strong and an entry signal was triggered. I entered the trade, set my take profit level, and set a narrow stop loss of about 15 pips. It was a long trade and it was going well and strongly moving in the direction that I wanted it to.

Then a correction came which always comes and usually is not a problem, however, being overcautious and conservative,it worked against me and the reversal was more than my stop loss. I was stopped out of the trade with a 14 pip loss. The trade then shortly reversed again and continued in the original direction. If my stop loss had been set at say 25 or 30 I would have been able to meet my profit objective on the trade.

Lesson learned: Set a wider stop loss. On the EUR/USD this should probably be at least 30 pips since most of the replacements are within this range.

The reason I set such a narrow stop loss is because of the fear of losing more than I was comfortable with. Remember, in a previous article I told you that this is one of the things that kills long term success. Here is a real life situation.

Of course, a wider stop loss is recommended in the Forex Trading Machine which is the system I am using. I thought I could do better by being more conservative. Then I realized that Avi Frister, the author, knows what he is talking about.

My trades have been successful, but I will get greater success closely following his system.

4X Trading - The New Gold Rush

If you were to ask the average person that you might meet during your day what the largest international market is today, they would most likely guess its the worlds stock markets. Their second guess would then be international commodities markets. Tell them its the international 4X markets and their next question would inevitably be, "what is 4X"? For decades now multinational corporations and large international banking institutions have been trading 4X and making huge sums of money, while most regular working people have looked to the worlds stock markets as the preferred place to invest their money. The problem with stock markets though, is that they are too vulnerable to undue influences that are difficult if not impossible to calculate.

Wagering on Personal Knowledge

4X trading is very different from trading in the stock market in a few very specific ways. When you invest in a stock you are, in a way, wagering on the success in a company for the coming future. When you trade in 4X, you are wagering on knowledge that you posses concerning impending changes in the value of a countries currency.

The Downsides of Stock Investments

While 401Ks do offer the benefit of tax deferment and employer contribution, the downside of them is that they are invested in the stock market. The problem with the stock market, is that it is like one big ship, in that no matter which end of it one runs to, if it is sinking they are going down with it.

Massive Profit Potential

The 4X market on the other hand always has opportunity for profit. By trading in the worlds leading currencies it is possible to generate huge profits even while the world economies are in decline. This is not theory but rather it is fact and people are doing it twenty- four hours a day, every day of the year.

Endless Possibilities

4X trading has a much higher potential for profits then the stock market. With margin and leverage rates available at up to 200-1 and currencies around the globe fluctuating daily, a person can potentially parlay a relatively modest investment into millions in profits is less than a years time.

Online Trading - Breaking Through Trading Distractions!

In my opinion, the second biggest challenge that you face in your online forex, stock commodity or futures trading is distraction.

Now, I say the second biggest challenge, because the first challenge is to know what the heck you are doing in the first place! Frankly, if you don't know that- and most beginner and many intermediate level traders really don't- then you're going to need all the distractions you can get to keep you away from the markets so that you don't keep losing your money!

However, assuming that you do know what you are doing in the markets and have a sound plan, then the next major challenge that you face is distraction. It goes back to what we have discussed about the need for mental focus. However, the issue of distraction is wider ranging. When we spoke about focus, we were talking about the need to focus within all the vast variety of choices available to you in the trading world.

With distractions, the issue is much wider and potentially worse still. Here, we are talking about literally everything that can distract you from your online trading. If you are a private trader working from your home, this can be an endless list; the postman, your cat, the need to get some bills paid,the shopping,the fact that it's a sunny day and you'd rather be outside,surfing the internet, checking your email, the telephone, odd jobs around the house, and so on. If you are in this position, I am sure you can add to the list.

Even if you are an investment bank trader, there are still plenty of distractions. Some of the above- email and the internet for example still apply- and there are others. Chatter from your colleagues, meaningless bullshit meetings that you must attend and are not allowed to get out of, the endless stream of media "information" and more.

At least for the institutional trader, it is understood that trading is a business. It is literally his/her job. There is daily accountability involved and it cannot therefore be mistaken for a hobby and treated as one. However, for the person working at home, this is a much easier mistake to fall into, especially at the very start, when you may not have decided upon your trading routine.

Speaking personally, I have to say that distraction is something that I have a big problem battling against, since I do operate from home. The problem is that if your mind is not totally focused upon what you are doing in the financial markets, and getting the process right, the margin for error quietly widens and things can start to go wrong.

The key point to come back to is that trading has to be a business, if it is intended to be your primary source of income for yourself and your family. If that is the case, then it is imperative that you treat it with the seriousness that it deserves. That means that even though you may be working for yourself at home, you need to impose some business disciplines that you would find in a standard office environment.

If at all possible, you should establish for yourself a separate room for your online trading. Wherever possible, you need to give very serious thought to closing the door to family and pets in order to concentrate on what you are doing. (Now, I know that this is hard because my two cats basically have total access to me, and I can't see that changing. But as the saying goes: do what I say, not what I do!)

Let's not forget that neither your friends, your pets, nor your family would have access to you if you were working at an office job somewhere, would they? Hence, closing the door closes out an enormous source of distraction.

Use effective time management principles to deal with other distractions. In other words, schedule other things that need to be done appropriately so that they do not interfere with your trading. Maybe you need to fix upon a time when you check and deal with your email once in the day, or at most twice, but you certainly do not keep looking at it every five minutes or so.

Do you know what constantly checking your email all the time is like?

It's like going to your front door every few minutes to see if there is anyone there! Did you ever think of it like that? Well, if you would never do that, why check your email every 5 minutes?!

What's the big deal? Well, it takes time away from you focusing upon your business, which is trading, not email checking or chatting idly. When you break your focus, then it takes a certain period of time to restore it. If this keeps happening the whole time, your mind is working hard just to stand still, i.e. to keep getting back to where it left off last time.

That is why it is so vital to get this under control. If not, it is not the trading that is exhausting you, so much as the sheer amount of clutter that you have allowed to invade your own brain. They say that failing to plan is planning to fail. Hence, starting today, sit down and plan out what you can do to minimize the distractions during your trading day. Consider the email challenge. Consider too scheduling certain activities together, e.g. make all of your outgoing calls at the same time, when you go out to the shops, make sure that you get that post office visit done too. Try to handle pieces of paper that come onto your desk once, and don't keep coming back to them over and over again.

This is all about organizing you, and you are unique. Hence, it is impossible for me or anyone else to give you a list. You have to come up with it yourself, and then go to work to reduce the distraction to your trading. I've given you a broad hint in what we have been discussing, but it is ultimately down to you.

Remember, your online trading is a business, not a hobby. It will ultimately, if it is not already, be your primary source of income and that upon which your family depends. Hence, you owe it both to yourself and to them to get serious and to get professional, no matter whether you trade from home or on the proprietary trading desk of the biggest firm on Wall Street.

The Currency Trading Revolution

I want to share with you the currency trading revolution that has transformed this business into a new market. This is the fastest growing and also largest market in the world with over three trillion dollars a day in trades.

If you go back around 30 years ago, there was currency trading going on, as there is today. But there were much different players back than. Only the biggest banks and firms were trading. A lot of money was moving around, but only a few elite people were in the position to trade. Ordinary people never had access to this, unless they were involved with a bank. Banks would take commissions and there was really nothing an average Joe could do about this.

Fast forward to the 90's and the real birth of the internet. Dial up become a big service for people to have and really transformed the way we communicate on the internet. If you move into the 2000 era, we're experiencing an explosion of high speed internet. In the Western world most people have high speed internet now. What does this have to do with currency trading? The internet has leveled the playing field.

Today, the smallest trader from their home can compete along side the biggest banks and be successful at it. The internet has created a currency trading revolution that has made this market explode in size. Never before was it so easy for just ordinary people to trade in this market. There is an amazing potential for all people to profit and learn.

The Real Secret to Day Trading Forex Currency

You want to know the real secret to day trading forex currency? Well, here it is: Confidence and understanding of the market. There you go. There's your real holy grail. If you can accomplish these two feats then you can write your own paycheck. Happy? Ok, so you probably need a little more information. Fine. Here it is:

Confidence! I cannot begin to tell you how many forex traders in the world are having anxiety attacks watching their trades just as I am typing. If you can't handle a trade or trading or in general, then don't do it. You'll never have success day trading forex currency if you are watching every pip move like it's life or death. Emotions can destroy a trader. A trader's fear can cause him/her to hold a trade even though the obvious trend is going against them. It could also have the adverse effect in which a trader closes a trade WAY too early because he's afraid to hold it, even though all the signs are pointing in the right direction.

I could give you the greatest trading system in the world, but it won't do you much good if you don't have any confidence in trading it.

The understanding of the market goes hand in hand with the confidence. When I say understand, I mean just that: Understand what you are looking at. Don't be like everybody else who has to use indicators to tell them what the market is doing. Does anybody understand what these indicators even mean? Can you honestly tell me what using an MACD Divergence does? It's colorful and its pretty on a chart, but what does that have to do with the tea in China? Take the time to understand the underlying causes of price and market movement.

Take off the indicators on your charts and see if you notice some repeated patterns. If you can start to see them then you can be ahead of the other 95% of forex traders who end up losing money on the markets. After all how can you have confidence day trading forex currency if you have no idea what you are looking at.

How To Win Short Term In Forex Trading

Short term Forex trading can get pretty scary sometimes and good traders are always looking for a way to reduce the risk and increase the profits.

Do you have a short term forex trading style? If so, you need to be aware every day of the data releases, prominent speakers, and other potential big market moving events in the day ahead. Do not forget that the economic data calendar for the forex market is all encompassing. On any given day it's possible for items coming from several different countries to have an impact on price action. Consider the following example, this is an indicator that moves the market.

CCI - Consumer Confidence Index

The Conference Board; Last Tuesday of each month, 10:00am EST, covers current month's data. The CCI is a survey based on a sample of 5,000 U.S. households and is considered one of the most accurate indicators of confidence. The idea behind consumer confidence is that when the economy warrants more jobs, increased wages, and lower interest rates, it increases our confidence and spending power. The respondents answer questions about their income, the market condition as they see it, and the chances to see increase in their income. Confidence is looked at closely by the Federal Reserve when determining interest rates. It is considered to be a big market mover as private consumption is two thirds of the American economy. If you are looking for an effective forex currency trading system, then using this report can make it even better.

Obviously, long-term traders don't have to be keenly aware of the upcoming data and influential speakers. However, they should, be alert to the happenings in markets which influence forex. Those include interest rates, commodities, and perhaps stocks at times.

Learn Forex - Trading Currencies On The Margin

For many people the key to Forex trading is the ability to trade on the margin. Without this ability, many small investors would not be able to trade the currency markets. But just what is trading on the margin and how does it work?

A margin account allows a Forex trader to open an account with a relatively small amount of money, and to then control large amounts of currency. In effect, opening a margin account with a Forex broker allows you to borrow money from the broker to control large currency lots. The degree to which you can borrow is known as leverage and is usually expressed as a ratio. For example, a leverage of 100:1 means that you can control assets worth 100 times your deposit.

By opening a 1% margin account and depositing just US $1,000 you can control standard Forex and lots of US $100,000. The ability to trade on the margin can clearly increase your profits, but it can also increase your losses with the possibility that you could lose more than your original deposit. Brokers, however, normally monitor margin accounts closely and will terminate a transaction which extends beyond the margin deposit.

While it is obvious that being able to trade US $100,000 with as little as US $1,000 provides for the possibility of both greater profit and greater loss, we need to look in a little more detail at just how this works.

Forex currencies are traded in much smaller lots than cash is. If we take the American dollar for example, a Forex quote might read $1.3256, rather than the $1.32 which you might expect. This is because in Forex trading currencies are traded in units down to four decimal places, with the smallest unit in Forex currency being known as the pip. In a standard US $100,000 lot therefore each pip is worth US $10.

If our example quote for the American dollar of $1 .3256 were to change to $1.3356 this would represent a change of 100 pips and a profit or loss of US $1000 and, if you were holding US $1000 of currency, a profit or loss of just US $10. This might be significant to a tourist but is unlikely to impress an investor. However, by using your US $1,000 on a 1% margin account to control US $100,000, your US $1,000 profit now looks far more healthy.

Of course your risks are also increased and, if the American dollar moves by just one cent against you on your 1% margin account, you stand to lose your entire account.

Fortunately there are a number of tools available to the Forex trader to help in minimizing any potential losses. One such tool is the stop loss order which automatically closes your position if the value of the currency reaches a level which you set.

One price that Forex traders have to pay for operating a margin account is that brokers normally have the right to override a transaction when they believe that it may result in an unacceptable loss. It may be the case therefore that, while you are riding out a downturn in the market in the expectation of a market reversal, your broker may close out your position and leave you with a substantial loss.

Let's say for example that you sell EUR/USD at 1.2144 (in other words sell 100,000 and a buy US $121,440) in the belief that the euro will fall in price. Your 1% margin account has a balance of $1, 250 and so after the transaction costing $1, 214.40 the balance in your account is $35.60.

After you have entered this position, and assuming that you have not set a stop loss, let's say that the euro gains 0.0263 for a price of 1.2407 making 100,000 worth US $124,070. The requirement on your 1% margin account is now $1, 240.70 and, depending on your broker's policy, the additional funds may be taken from your account or, with such a low balance, your position may be closed. In any event, if the euro continues to gain in value, you will need to add further funds to your account or risk your account being closed and losing everything.

Despite the risks of trading on a margin account it is this ability which makes Forex trading such an attractive proposition to so many people. You should not therefore be put off by these risks, but you certainly need to be aware of them and to know your broker's policy and to manage your account accordingly.

Forex Scalping- A Key Market Factor You Must Know

Forex scalping requires a completely different mindset to other forms of day trading. Those who engage in Forex scalping normally make a number of trades a day taking somewhere between 5 to 10 pips from the market each time in many cases. Of course, the more trades that are made, the higher probability the scalper will have losses.

Hence the need to exercise discipline and not shoot at everything that moves. Look for only high probability trades. This however is easier said than done. That is why the following piece of information is critical in understanding market behavior from a Forex scalping point of view.

A Crucial Piece Of Information

The crucial piece of information we are referring to is this:

Somewhere between 60 - 80% of the time, the market is in consolidation.

This means that most of the time, the market is not making significant moves. It tends to range in a consolidation channel for hours at times before another significant move takes price to another level.

This market behavior pattern is ideal for Forex scalping once the trader fully understands it.

Develop Recognition Skills

Whenever the trader opens a chart, key support and resistance levels need to be identified. Previous highs and lows should jump out at the trader and be quickly recognized and identified.

To this end it helps to draw horizontal lines on the charting software to mark the top of a channel and the bottom of a channel on whichever time frame the trader is using.

The Key Forex Scalping Principle

The main principle that governs Forex scalping is the same principle that applies to all forms of day trading:

Sell The Rallies - Buy The Dips

Hence, when Forex scalping, the trader will look for ranges or consolidation channels where price is obviously moving (often within a 20, 30 or 40 pip range) and set an entry order to go long when price hits the bottom of the range, or an entry order to go short when price hits the top of the range.

There is always the possibility price will breakout at that point in which case it will be a losing trade. That's why it is important to maintain tight stops, perhaps no more than around 15 pips to keep the profit/loss ratio within reason.

Be Selective

To make Forex scalping trades higher probability it is important to select trades that have a number of elements going for them.

It is often not enough to just jump in on any range you see and enter an order to go long or short at the top or bottom of the range.

You want to look for ranges where the top or bottom coincides with other indicators. For example, the 200 EMA (Exponential Moving Average) is a very powerful indicator on the 4 hour, 1 hour, and 15 minute time frames. Seeing it is one of the most popular indicators of all time used by traders in the global market place, it pays to take notice of where price is in relation to the 200 EMA.

So if you see a trading range where the top or bottom also coincides with the 200 EMA on one of the higher time frames, zero in using the 5 minute chart, draw your horizontal lines to mark the range or consolidation channel, and choose a suitable order entry point. The 200 EMA provides a strong level of support or resistance, depending on which direction you are trading.

Likewise, if the top or bottom of the range is also lining up with a pivot level, or a Fibonacci retracement or extension level, you have added reasons to believe price is going to respect that level, at least for a while. You can then enter an order at the price point with reasonable certainty that you can grab 5 to 10 pips from the market, depending on the height or depth of the trading range.

Why Forex Scalping Methods Should Be Part Of Your Overall Strategy

This characteristic of market behavior, the fact price spends most of its time in trading ranges, makes Forex scalping a very profitable method once the trader has acquired experience and developed understanding and recognition skills.

Rather than waiting for the occasional significant price move, the trader who also has a Forex scalping strategy in his toolkit can utilize those long periods in the trading day when price doesn't go anywhere.

Is Forex Better Than Stocks? 3 Reasons Why It Is

If you're looking for the ultimate trading market, forget Wall Street. The Forex Market is where the largest volume in trading is going on, with an incredible amount of nearly $2 billion worth of trading in a 24 hour day. Why is the Forex Market better than stocks? Why is a dollar better than a nickel? Because it's worth a lot more. That is one of the most basic and obvious answers to this question. There is a fortune that can be made in trading Forex because the Forex market is constantly trading.

Reason #1 Why Forex is Better Than Stocks Because:

The Forex market trades a larger volume than any other market in the world. The stock market trades roughly $10 billion in volume a day. That's not bad at all, but it isn't even 1% of what the Forex market trades daily. Not even close.

The Forex market trades an average of $1.8 TRILLION dollars of currency a day. No other market in the world comes remotely close to this figure. $1.8 Trillion dollars is only the first reason that the Forex is better than stocks.

Reason #2 Why Forex is Better Than Stocks:

No Enron, no WorldCom, no Tyco. These currencies are based on the strength of an entire nation's economy, not the reports of one company. This doesn't mean there isn't risk - every market has risk and Forex is no exception, but usually stable countries don't fall overnight.

I had a friend who went to college, got into stock trading, and had a personal stock portfolio worth six figures by the time he was only 27. Not bad. But almost all of it was McCloud, Enron, and MCI WorldCom. Nearly overnight his small fortune was worth less than $20,000.

All because of false stock reports from CEOs. This can't happen in the Forex. While economies can go up or down, there is both technical and fundamental analysis that can help you identify ahead of time the potential for a currency that is going to drop. Forex trading has risks like anywhere else, but one corrupt CEO is not one of them.

Also, when one currency goes down, the other in the pair goes up, so being on the right side can mean that one country's misery can still makes you a fortune.

Reason #3 Why Forex is Better Than Stocks:

There's always action. Unlike the stock market, which has a daily close to the market day, the Forex market is open every day, except Saturday. There is only one close in the Forex for an entire week, meaning almost any day, any time, you have the ability to trade. This allows a great flexibility in when, where, and how you can trade. Options are good.

These are only three of several reasons why the Forex is better than stocks, but if you want to trade where the most action is, there's no question you want the Forex market.

Currency Trading E-books - Another Way to Be Rich, Or to Be Poor?

Currency trading, or Forex trading as it is generally known, is the act of exchanging one country's currency for another. The way currency trading works is simple. You exchange the currency for better rates than they were before and therefore make money on the transaction. All currency traders are dreaming of learning new ways to make more money out of currency trading and many e-books out there promise to make them a truck of money with currency trading.

Now, many people have been complaining about this type of trading just being another scam that people use in order to get money for e-books, but at the same time it is important to realize that Forex trading is a legitimate type of investment that people use every single day in order to make a lot of money.

In general, there are far fewer scams online than you would think from reading the angry forum posts or e-mails of people that have misunderstood the instructions and ended up performing badly as a result. While nobody in their right mind would say that there are no scams online, the actual act of Forex trading is by no means a scam. Some of the e-books that are offered on the topic might very well be scams and that is definitely something that you need to guard against.

I am not saying that there are no good currency exchange e-books out there because it's not the truth. However I suggest you use caution when you have to pay for that kind of e-book. Better to be safe than sorry.

So, how do you figure out whether a particular Forex system is a scam? Well, short of buying it and trying it out on the free version of Forex trading software offered by many companies, there is not much that you can really do. This is why before you buy a Forex system e-book, you need to make sure that there is a no questions asked refund policy behind the purchase so that if you find it doesn't work, you can easily return it and get your money back. Most of the people that sell products of that type do include refund policies, but make sure that you know before you make the purchase that you can get a refund later on down the road.

Another good way to understand if a particular e-book might be a scam is to read up on Forex at the local library or in financial circles, thereby understanding exactly what Forex trading is and how it can make you money. If you do this and you understand what the experts are doing to make themselves money, you'll be better prepared to determine whether a particular e-book might make you money. However, you should never be hesitant to buy and try if there is a refund policy in place, because you can always get your money back if the system does not meet with your expectations.

Why You'll Go Broke Without Forex Demo Trading

Every day, hundreds of forex newbies who rush into the foreign exchange market after reading promises of overnight wealth. They sign up online, throw together a campaign, and hurl at least a thousand dollars into something they don't understand at all. After all of this, it never ceases to amaze me the number of these victims who would still question how it all happened.

In my experience, there is no substitute for experience. In the foreign exchange market, this takes the form of forex demo trading. This is where you use virtual money to trade on the actual foreign exchange market. You use the same information that real traders use daily and you'll be tracking your results, but you'll be doing it all without the risk. This is a great way to start out because you'll be more willing to make the learning mistakes that you would never risk making with your own money. Once you get to the point where you have several successful trades under your belt, you can make the transition to real trading.

The best way to get a forex demo trading account is to get it coupled with forex automated trading software. This is software which automatically trades for you in your best interest at all times. It acts like an added safety net which is invaluable, particularly when you're just starting out. They best programs include incredibly accurate signal generation which predicts trends in the market so that you can trade ahead of the curve to maximize your profits.

As you go along with the program you'll learn first hand the benefits and features. The forex demo trading account which comes with the program allows you to learn both the market and program simultaneously to best prepare you for a jump started career in currency exchange.

Not all forex programs are the same, in fact there are a number of sloppily designed programs which have helped to give the market a bad reputation overall. There are, however, a few gems mixed in which are more than worth their purchase prices based on their signal generation alone.

A Few Ways To Check If Your Trading Strategy Is Really Successful

You've finally settled on a trading strategy. But how do you know it's actually successful? Well, luckily, there are a few ways. Here are two:

1.) Back-Testing

Back-testing is a method of testing which will run your strategy against prior time periods. Basically, you're performing a simulation: you use your strategy with relevant past data to test its effectiveness. By using the historical data, you're saving a ton of time; if you tried to test your strategy by applying it to the time periods yet to come, it might take you years. The effectiveness of back-testing relies on the theory that what has happened in the past WILL happen again in the future.

2.) Paper Trading

Paper trading is a method of "risk-free" trading. Basically, you set up a dummy account, through which you can test your trading strategy with paper money. There are two methods to this: you can either pretend to buy and sell stocks, bonds, commodities, etc., and keep track of your profits and losses on paper, or you can open an account online, usually through your broker (and usually for free).

This is a fantastic way for traders to kill a whole tree full of birds with one stone. First off, you'll learn the tricks of the trade without putting your own money at risk. Second, you'll be able to gain some much-needed confidence when it comes to maneuvering in the markets. And third, you'll be able to test out your trading strategy in real-time simulation.

This is probably the best way to test a trading strategy, since it doesn't rely on historical data. On the other hand, it's the most time-consuming strategy, since it might take weeks or months until you have enough data for a statistically relevant performance report.

When testing a strategy, keep in mind that markets change.

When back-testing, there are definitely things you need to be aware of. It's not enough to just run a strategy on as much data as possible; it's important to know the underlying market conditions.

Either method of evaluating your strategy will require time and effort, but both will pay off in the long run.

Smart Tactics For Currency Trading

I'm going to share with you some smart tactics for currency trading. There is a huge potential to make a profit in this market, which has over three trillion dollars in trades a day. The problem is that people tend to have the wrong information and make the wrong moves to yield a profit. I'm going to share a few things that I've learned over the years that have helped me continuously earn.

I think the first thing you need to have is a reality check. A lot of people have this assumption about making money at home or at your own business is this big complicated task. You have it built up in your mind that if it was simple, everyone would be doing it. That's a fair point, but the reason people don't do it is because they have to rely on themselves to earn an income. That is a very unnerving thought to most people. You have to really believe you can generate that money knowing that you're fully responsible for it materializing.

The next thing I want to point out is gossip. That typically has a negative appeal to it, but I'm not talking about small town gossip, but financial/economic/business gossip. This is what you'll find on business channels like CNBC. There's always talk about the economy. If you're not already aware, a currency is held up by the economy. This means when things are going good, you can expect a stable or rising currency. If things are bad, you can expect the currency to go down. As well, if there is a planned big announcement coming up, you can tell when things will go erratic.

Lastly, you'll want to get the Super Forex System to help automate your trading process. It is an excellent tool for the currency trader tool belt. It actively seeks out profitable trades and makes them for you.

Make Money by Trading

Have you ever wondered how some people can sit in an office for a couple of hours a day and yet make close to $1,000,000 a year? Yes there are lots of people in this world that make a million dollars or more a year by sitting in an office and trading.

If you were given the choice to do the very same, to sit around and trade your way to riches would you do that? This sounds almost too good to be true. I tell you, it is too good to be true. How many new traders have been lured by the false promise of a quick buck that they pour all their live savings into a trading account, only to lose it all in 6 months.

The only way to be able to make money by trading is following:
1. Proper money management
2. Disciplined trading
3. Trading plan
4. Knowledge of market forces
5. General world knowledge

Many retail or private investors fail to grasp either one or another of the above 5 points. This makes their investing and trading like a visit to the casino. How then can you as a trader make money by trading?

The answer is readily presented in the 5 points above. Master them and use them to your advantage.

Money management is not about how much to trade but also when to trade. Have there been times when the indicators are telling you not to do anything, but the price action on the screen seems crazy? You feel that if you don't take the trade then you might lose out on a good thing. Use proper money management and be disciplined, stay on the sidelines and not trade. Trade your plan and plan your trade.

A disciplined trader will always take the trades that follow the pre-defined indicators. That is why only the most disciplined traders are the most successful ones. Having a trading plan is also essential for you if you want to trade correctly and consistently make a profit. More often than not, if you failed to plan the trade before hand, you will lose your money when you trade.

One thing you will realize if you have been trading for a while is that many new traders seem to forget to read up and understand about the current situation of the world right now. There is a big issue to not know what is happening right at your doorstep! Know about how countries are being affected by climate change; learn about how policies will change the way a nation work. This is fundamental to your trading and should be part of your daily routine as a trader.

To make money as a trader, please remember the above 5 points and be sure to make each a daily activity when you trade, or risk losing your money!

Pivot Points Anticipate Forex Market Breakouts

Wouldn't it be great to be psychic? Wouldn't it be great if when you sat down to make your Forex trade you could somehow know ahead of time when and where the market was going to breakout, and ride that baby to maximum profits?

It's one thing to look back on a month of charts and point out where all the pivot points occurred, and see where the best pivot reversal points were, but it's an entirely different thing to be able to see and anticipate the pivot reversals as they are happening, and to make profit from them.

A pivot point, when it is part of a pivot reversal, is basically the turning point where a currency pair hits the highest point of a high trend, or the lowest point of a low trend, before retracing back the direction it came. Basically, the "new high" or "new low" will help show you how far the market is willing to go in either direction before it reverses course back into itself. This is critical!

The reason these pivot highs and pivot lows are so important is that the area between the pivot high and low bars is where you will notice most of the price action, but there are certain breakout days when the market will shoot past the current range, and these days are the pivot reversal breakout days. These are denoted by large movements in the market that are fueled by strong momentum. Remember: large movements + strong momentum = HUGE PROFITS!

Pivot points can lead to pivot reversal breakouts, and these opportunities are too good to ignore. Now you have knowledge, but knowledge is power (or in this case, profits) only when you know how to use it right! When a pivot reversal happens, you want to see whether the market breaks a new higher high or a lower low. Once you have this information, here's the basic rule for how to act on it:

1. If the market goes higher than a pivot high, you want to BUY!

2. If the market drops lower than a pivot low, you want to SELL SHORT!

It usually takes a day for the breakout to occur. Sometimes the breakout won't materialize. That's fine. If that's the case, close out your positions and wait for the next pivot reversal. Have patience, and you will bag that big profit day.

Make sure that these trades are performed with a one day time table in mind. Once the breakout occurs, close your position at the end of the trading day to protect your gains. Follow this advice, and you will be a very happy and wealthy Forex trader.

Forex Trading - The Road to Financial Freedom If You Understand These Key Points

Forex trading can be a road to financial freedom or at least a great second income but 95% of traders fail not because they can't achieve it but due to the errors contained in this article - avoid them and you can enjoy currency trading success...

Here are the key points you need to understand.

1. You are Responsible

You're on your own and there is no one who will give you success. Forget the mentors gurus and systems who say they will make you rich, they won't. You don't get on the road to financial freedom buying a system from a vendor which has never been traded, that's not life.

You need to do it on your own and if you do, then you will not only have the right knowledge to succeed but also confidence in what your doing, to have discipline to stick with your plan.

2. Why You Can Win

Everything about successful trading can be learned and this was proved to dramatic effect by trading legend Richard Dennis who taught a group people with no trading experience to trade in just 14 days and they went down as trading legends, earning hundreds of millions of dollars within a few years.

Dennis knew anyone could learn to trade and he proved it.

Sure you might not be as successful as his group but the opportunity is open to you.

3. Work Smart not Hard

You don't get rewarded for effort you get rewarded for results generated from your trading signals.

To learn to trade should take you no more than a couple of weeks and your then all set to enjoy currency trading success in around 30 minutes or less a day.

The key is getting the right knowledge and building a simple robust forex trading strategy you understand and can apply with discipline.

4. Discipline and Money Management

Are the keys to earning big profits in forex trading.

Forex offers you the ability to leverage your investment dramatically and while this creates opportunity, it also creates risk. You must play great defence first like all good football teams look after the defence and the offence will create and take opportunities.

The forex market is no place for people who want to be right all the time - it's not possible.

The market price is always right and only you can be wrong and you will be wrong a lot of the time but that wont stop you making a lot of money - just learn to keep your losses small and accept them cheerfully. Don't worry the big profits will come.

Sounds simple yes in theory but don't be deceived its still a challenge and this is obvious from the fact most traders lose but if you work smart and have the will to win forex trading offers you the road to financial freedom and its up to you to take it.

Learn Online Forex Currency Trading

Online Forex currency trading is a fast business, and if you do not have the proper training, it can be very easy to lose your money in it. Make sure you have all the right information and skills before you even begin buying and selling currencies. Where and how do you get the right education? Here are some ideas.

Learn Online

Taking online currency trading courses is the most cost-effective and convenient way to learn the ropes of the industry. Many currency trading websites offer potential traders like you free tutorials and demos on how to get started in online Forex trading. Some websites ask for a minimum membership or tuition fee before they grant you access to full-scale tutorials.

What will you learn, exactly? Most courses let you in on basics such as day trading, position trading, and swing trading. You will also learn fundamental investment theories specifically for currencies. Some sites even offer tailor-fit, one-on-one trader mentoring. Instruction is still remote, but you are usually assigned a mentor (a proven successful trader) who will give you customized training materials and simulations.

Buy CDs or Books

There are many "complete home study" CDs and books that deal particularly with currency trading. These materials usually cover all essential aspects of trading and taxes, and give valuable insight on making a living as an online trader.

Read the Newspaper

The value of a country's currency is greatly affected by its political and economic situations. You need to know the latest country-specific developments in order to make sound trading decisions. Staying on top of world news by reading the newspaper, watching cable television, or subscribing to an online news portal immediately gives you a trading advantage. Get the latest on inflation rates, changes in government, and tax laws in the countries of the currency you are trading so you can make intelligent moves.
