Currency traders make profits over the small fluctuations in exchange rates. In the Forex market, you can buy or sell one currency for another. When you buy a currency, you are said to be "long" when you sell a currency, you are said to be "short". For example, in the GBP/USD pair. When you go "long", mean you buy GBP and sell USD, when you go short, you sell GBP and buy USD. As the value of one currency rises or falls relative to another, trader's investments increase or decrease in value accordingly.
The Seven Most Traded Currencies in FOREX

Currencies are traded in dollar amounts called “lots”. One lot is equal to $1,000, which controls $100,000 in currency. This is what is known as the "margin". You can control $100,000 worth of currency for only 1,000 dollars. This is what is called “High Leverage”.

Currencies are always traded in pairs in the FOREX. The pairs have a unique notation that expresses what currencies are being traded. The symbol for a currency pair will always be in the form ABC/DEF. ABC/DEF is not a real currency pair, it is an example of a symbol for a currency pair. In this example ABC is the symbol for one countries currency and DEF is the symbol for another countries currency.

Here are some of the common symbols used in the Forex:

USD - The US Dollar EUR - The currency of the European Union "EURO" GBP - The British Pound JPN - The Japanese Yen CHF - The Swiss Franc AUD - The Australian Dollar CAD - The Canadian Dollar

There are symbols for other currencies as well, but these are the most commonly traded ones.

A currency can never be traded by itself. So you can not ever trade a EUR by itself. You always need to compare one currency with another currency to make a trade possible.

Some of the common PAIRS are:

EUR/USD Euro / US Dollar "Euro"

USD/JPY US Dollar / Japanese Yen "Dollar Yen"

GBP/USD British Pound / US Dollar "Cable"

USD/CAD US Dollar / Canadian Dollar "Dollar Canada"

AUD/USD Australian Dollar/US Dollar "Aussie Dollar"

USD/CHF US Dollar / Swiss Franc "Swissy"

EUR/JPY Euro / Japanese Yen "Euro Yen"

The listed currency pairs above look like a fraction. The numerator (top of the fraction or "left" of the / however you want to SEE it) is called the base currency. The denominator (bottom of the fraction or "right" of the /however you want to SEE it) is called the counter currency. When you place an order to buy the EUR/USD, for instance, you are actually buying the EUR and selling the USD. If you were to sell the pair, you would be selling the EUR and buying the USD. So if you buy or sell a currency PAIR, you are buying/selling the base currency. You are always doing the opposite of what you did with to base currency with the counter currency.

If this seems confusing then you’re in luck. You can always get by with just thinking of the entire pair as one item. Then you are just buying or selling that one item. Thinking like this will still enable you to place trades. You only need to be aware of the base/counter concept for Fundamental Analysis issues.

So why is it important to know about the base/counter currency? The base/counter currency concept illustrates what is actually taking place in a Forex transaction. Some of you reading this, know that short-selling was restricted in the stock market *(Short-selling is where you sell a stock/currency/option/commodity first and then try to buy it back at a lower price later). But in the FOREX you are always buying one currency (base) and selling another (counter). If you sell the pair you are simply flipping which one you buy and which one you sell. The transaction is essentially the same. This allows you to short-sell with no restrictions.

You want to be able to short-sell with no restrictions so you can make money when the market drops as well as when it rises. The problem with traditional stock market trading is that the market has to go up for you to make money. With FOREX trading you can make money in all directions.

Placing a trade in the foreign exchange market is simple. What you need is to open a trading account with a reliable broker. You can start trading almost immediately after the account is up. Beginners are advisable to observe the traders' rules and read more books and articles from experienced traders before getting their hand wet.

Now, we have an bird-eye view of what Forex trading is. Next, we will move on to the introduction of forex market.

Forex Trading
Foreign Currency Exchange (Forex) Trading allows an investor to participate in profitable fluctuations of world currencies. Forex trading works by selecting pairs of currencies and then measuring profit or loss by the fluctuations of one one currency's market activity compared to the other. For example, fluctuations in the value of the $ U.S. Dollar are measured against another world currency such as the £ British Pound, € Eurodollar, ¥ Japanese Yen etc. Being able to discern price trends in market activity is the essence of all profitable trading and this is what makes foreign currencies so exciting, currencies are the world's 'best trending' market. This gives Forex investors a profit making edge that is unavailable in most other markets.Forex Trading is being called 'today's exciting new investment opportunity for the savvy investor'. The reason is that the Forex Trading Market only began to emerge in 1978, when worldwide currencies were allowed to 'float' according to supply and demand, 7 years after the Gold Standard was abandoned. Up until 1995 Forex Trading was only available to banks and large multinational corporations but today, thanks to the proliferation of the computer and a new era of internet-based communication technologies, this highly profitable market is open to everyone. The Forex Trading Market's growth has been unprecedented, explosive, and continues to be unequaled by any other trading market.Unlike traditional trading which brings buyers and sellers together in a central location (trading floors) in Forex Trading there is no need for a centralized location. Forex is a market where worldwide traders conduct business by high-speed Internet connections with the Interbank Foreign Currency Exchange via Forex Clearinghouses (also called Forex Brokerage Firms). Forex has not only become the fastest growing trading market, but also the most profitable trading marketplace in the world.Simply stated, Forex is the most profitable because it is the world's largest marketplace. The Foreign Currency market as a whole accounts for over 1.2 trillion dollars of trading per day (as determined by the fourth Central Bank Survey of Foreign Exchange and Derivatives Market Activity, 1998. This figure is understood to be significantly higher today). To put this into perspective, on any given day the Foreign Currency Exchange Market activity is vastly greater than the Stock Market. It is 75 times greater than the New York Stock Exchange where the average total daily value (using 1998 figures) of both foreign and domestic stocks is $16 billion, and much greater than the daily activity on the London Stock Exchange, with $11 billion.Furthermore, in addition to being the world's largest and most profitable market, The Foreign Currency Exchange Market is the world's most powerful and persistent trading market regardless of negative economic indicators. This is because currencies 'trend' better than every other market due to their macro-economic nature. Unlike many commodities whose supply and demand fundamentals can literally change overnight (as we found in the sudden dot com 'market adjustment' and even more abruptly on September 11, 2001), currency fundamentals are much less random, and far more predictable. This is well illustrated in the way interest rates are changed gradually and only in small increments.Other examples of fundamental predictability are illustrated by the following statistics. Of the $1.2 trillion day trading in Foreign Currency Exchange, 83% of spot foreign exchange activity and 95% of swap activity involves US Dollars. The Euro is the second most active currency at 37%. The Japanese Yen (24%) and the British Pound Sterling (10%) are ranked third and fourth. The Swiss Franc is 7%, and the Canadian and Australian Dollars account for 3%.Spot Forex is the type of forex trade in which self-traders concentrate most of their investment activity for reasons that are self-explanatory. By definition, a Spot Forex transaction is a currency trade transaction that has a settlement (liquidation) within a maximum of 2 working days following the closing of the trade. Therefore Spot Forex allows the self-trader high liquidity. Another popular feature for well-advised Spot Forex self-traders is the strong profit potential from continual market fluctuations by buying a specific currency when it is weaker and selling it when it is stronger, and the continual pairing of strong currencies against weak ones. This potential for profit or loss is amplified by the effect of leverage. Leverage is a term that describes what can be achieved when a smaller amount of money controls a much larger amount of money. With regards to Forex Trading for example, a leverage-factor of 100 can allow the trader to hold a 100,000 US Dollar position with a modest 1,000 US Dollar margin deposit. Online Forex day trading focuses its investment activity largely on Spot Forex because of the 'risk manageability' of in-and-out trading plus the potential to generate excellent and highly liquid profits."Few financial industries generate as much excitement and profit as currency exchange. Traders around the world enter trades for weeks, days or split seconds, generating explosive moves or steady flows, and money changes hands quickly at a staggering daily average of a trillion US dollars. Forex profitability is legendary. George Soros of Quantum Fund realized a profit in excess of 1 billion dollars for a couple of days work in September 1992. Hans Hufschmid of Soloman Brothers, Inc. netted $28 million for 1993. Even by Wall Street standards, these numbers are heartstoppers".*

Introduction to Fibonacci trading techniques.

First, a few words about Fibonacci himself…

Leonardo Pisano (nickname Fibonacci) was a mathematician, born in 1170, in Pisa (now Italy). His father was Guilielmo, of the Bonacci family. His father was a diplomat, as a result Fibonacci was educated in North Africa, where he learned "accounting" and "mathematics".

Fibonacci also contributed to the science of numbers, and introduced the "Fibonacci sequence"

The Fibonacci sequence is the sequence 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, introduced in his work "Liber abaci" in a problem involving the growth of a population of rabbits.

Aside from this sequence of number where every next number is the sum of the proceeding two, 0, 1 (0+1), 2 (1+1), 3 (2+1), 5 (3+2), 8 (5+3), 13 (8+5), etc.

There are the "Fibonacci ratios".. By comparing the relationship between each number, and each alternate number, and even each number to the one four places to the right, we arrive at some fairly consistent ratios.. The important ones are .236, 50, .382, .618, .764, 1.382, 1.618, 2.618, 4.236, and for good measure we include 1.00 ..

The down move was $29.78 (59.97-30.19), quite a substantial amount.

Projecting from that low in May, and using a Fibonacci ratio, we can calculate 29.78*.382=$11.37 . So 38.2% of 29.78 is 11.37 . If MSFT were to rally 38.2% of the down-move it would reach $41.57 (11.37+30.20). I’m using rounded numbers in my calculations, the chart above calculates it to be $41.564, we don’t need that degree of accuracy!

Several weeks later, MSFT rallied and resisted right near that .382 Fibonacci level !!

So we were able to predict a future probable turning point (after the low of May 2000), using the Fibonacci ratio of .382!! If only it were always so easy.

The steps involved are:

Calculate the total value of a significant price-move (high to low, or vice-versa).
Calculate a Fibonacci retracement (in this case .382) of the prior move.
Look for price to confirm, by resisting (or support in an up-move) near that predicted retracement area.

Fibonacci example - Microsoft Daily chart.
This chart shows how a different Fibonacci level (61.8%) predicted resistance and a market turn.

Notice how the market behaved at the .382 level (30.80 area). Initially the market spiked through, then fell back to that level (late October). We cannot expect a chart to retrace at every Fib level. We can expect some support/resistance as buyers/sellers enter the market at these levels, but we can’t always predict whether the market will actually turn at any particular level. Fibonacci techniques are used to alert you to a possible trade, if that price level does cause support or resistance. These techniques are not used as a trigger for entry. Other indicators are used in conjunction with Fibonacci studies to provide higher-probability entries..
It turns out that the ratios are mathematical principles prevalent in nature around us, and is also in man-made objects. There are many interesting, entertaining, and poetic observations about Fibonacci numbers and ratios in the universe (see the reference section below). Fibonacci numbers appear in ancient buildings, in plants, planets, molecules, the dimensions of human bodies, and of course snails… But of what use is all that to the lowly trader?

What really interests you, the application of Fibonacci techniques in the trading environment..

Traders usually study charts! Fibonacci ratios may be applied to the Price scale, and also to the time scale of charts. I study the price scale. My focus here will be on the price scale for now, perhaps in the future I’ll add some time-scale studies.

Prices never move in a straight line. Look at any chart, you will see many wiggles, as price advances and retraces.. Stocks, Futures, Forex, all instruments which are liquid, will often retrace in Fibonacci proportions, and advance in Fibonacci proportions. Not always, and not precisely to the penny. But very often, and reasonably close! This happens often enough that profitable trades can result. I will show you some examples below.

I used Fibonacci ratios with a few simple indicators to help determine probable price turning points, optimum entry, exit and stop-loss levels. My complete techniques are available in on-line video seminars, in-person seminars, and via my real-time on-line chat facility. For more details, see the this web page

The application of Fibonacci to trading can be very complex, and take much time and experience to perfect. Many traders enjoy making the process as difficult and as complex as they can tolerate.. I do the opposite, I try to simplify, try to bring clarity.

Fibonacci example - Microsoft Weekly chart.
This lesson demonstrates a very basic way to use Fibonacci levels. You just read about Fibonacci ratios. We will use just one of those ratios for now, the .382 Fibonacci ratio. In this chart MSFT made a high of (approximately) $59.97 in December of 1999. After that, it moved down to make a low of $30.19 in May of 2000.

Foreign Exchange Market
The foreign exchange (currency or FX) market is where currency trading takes place. FX transactions typically involve one party purchasing a quantity of one currency in exchange for paying a quantity of another. The foreign exchange market that we see today started evolving during the 1970s when worldover countries gradually switched to floating exchange rate from their erstwhile exchange rate regime, which remained fixed as per the Bretton Woods system till 1971.Today, the FX market is one of the largest and most liquid financial markets in the world, and includes trading between large banks, central banks, currency speculators, corporations, governments, and other institutions. The average daily volume in the global foreign exchange and related markets is continuously growing. Traditional daily turnover was reported to be over US$3.2 trillion in April 2007 by the Bank for International Settlements.[1] Since then, the market has continued to grow. According to Euromoney's annual FX Poll, volumes grew a further 41% between 2007 and 2008.[2]The purpose of FX market is to facilitate trade and investment. The need for a foreign exchange market arises because of the presence of multifarious international currencies such as US Dollar, Pound Sterling, etc., and the need for trading in such currencies.

As mentioned before, there are several Fib levels, .236, 50, .382, .618, .764, 1.382, 1.618, 2.618, 4.236, and 1.00 .. So there are several places to look for a market turn. They can be calculated in advance, but trading blindly at a fib level can be dangerous, because you never know for certain (in advance) whether the market will turn at any particular Fib level. I use other indicators to help overcome that problem, click here to learn how to determine which Fib ratio is likely to be strong enough to turn the market.

Important notes from this lesson:

There are several Fib levels.
It takes some skill to determine which Fib level is likely to cause the market to turn.
There are some techniques to help you determine where a market is more likely to turn.
Do not blindly anticipate a market turn at a Fib level.

The next step in this Forex guide is specially designed to deal with emotions and to confirm the results obtained in the prior step (consistent results in a demo account.) At this step you need to trade in a real account with limited funds. Some brokers offer fractional lot trading. Meaning you are able to trade any desired amount (even cents.) The important thing here is that these emotions we’ve been talking about are present only when there is real money at risk. At this stage, you are going to see if you are really comfortable trading your system and if you are able to trade with such system, remember different systems produce different emotions. If you are able to produce similar results than those obtained in a demo account, then ready for the next step. If you didn’t, then you might need to create another system, there is chance your system never fit you. If you created consistent profitable results on this stage, you have a chance to produce similar results in the next one, on the other hand, if you didn’t produce good results in this stage, you will not be able to make on the next stage. Remember, you need to do things right, and be honest to yourself.

The last stage is trading in a real account with sufficient funds. If you are at this stage, and have passed successfully every prior stage, then you have a chance to make it, go ahead and try it, you need to be confident in yourself and in your system, your strategy have already produced consistent profitable results, there are reasons to believe you are going to make it. Very few traders fail at this stage (if passed successfully prior stages.)

Trading successfully is no easy task, it requires a lot of work, patience, discipline, and education. By completing the steps outlined in this Forex course, you have a chance to produce profitable results. I repeat it again, you need to be honest to yourself about the results obtained in every stage. Some times you might need expert guidance regarding your system development strategies.

Forex trading Strageticies
By far regarded as the largest and the busiest market, the Forex market has tremendous profit potential. The Forex currency market is a lot different from the stock market and you need to have a very good understanding about the way this market functions. Its not surprising that there's a lot being said and written about Forex currency trading. In fact, those who are keen on mastering Forex trading skills can actually take up a Forex trading course and get formal Forex education. Before you set out to trade in the Forex market or the Foreign Currency Exchange Market, you must make sure that you have done plenty of research, studied historical trends, analyzed existing trends, and worked out profitable Forex trading strategies that can boost your Forex trade.There is no standard strategy that can be safely applied when it comes to Forex currency trading. Basically, what may work for one may not necessarily fit your trading needs and you must therefore devise your own strategies that can guarantee success in the long run. You need to first analyze the market using a technical analysis approach or the fundamental analysis approach to plan your moves. While technical analysis refers to forecasting future movement based on past performance, fundamental analysis refers to studying current accounts and impact of imports and exports on currency flow.Understanding how volatile this market is, every experienced trader understands that it is not practically possible to generate profits from every trade. However, as you study this market closely, you will be able to work out better strategies that can minimize your risk levels.Use surplus money for tradingThis market is speculative and "timing a trade' is crucial. Even a slightest mistake can cost you a lot of money. So, make sure that you use only surplus money in order to save yourself from financial wreck. One of the biggest mistakes many traders do is staking all their money in a single trade. If you are not sure, go for margin trading to enjoy more leverage.Do some market researchConsult your financial advisor or a Forex broker who can tell you the exact status of the Forex market. You need to understand whether current trend is upwards or downwards, is it strong or weak, and how long has this trend been going on or is a new trend in the making. A trade without prior market research can lead to financial disasters.Decide the time frame for tradingAs a smart Forex trader, you must have a time frame in mind beyond which you wont like to trade and also decide an approximate exit price. This gives you a proper perspective and helps you to plan your Forex trade more efficiently. You need to therefore decide whether you would like to go for long term trading or intra-day trading. This will help you to determine which approach you must adopt for research and analysis. For instance, for someone trading several times a day, a daily graph analysis will be useless and the trader will require thirty minute or hour graphs to plan his exit. Another important factor that you need to take into account is the time periods when different financial companies enter and exit the foreign exchange market in order to study the market trends.Choosing the right time to trade Timing is everything when it comes to Forex trading and once you have understood the market trends you need to immediately plan an entry. Rely on technical analysis to time your move and predict market movements.If you are not sure about which Forex trading strategy to use, find a good Forex broker who can handle your financial portfolio for you

Do you think you can master the forex market if you combine all the strategies taught by every forex trading expert? If your answer is yes, you are WRONG!

Successful Forex Trading Operation
Take your time to read these few lines, as I am going to provide you with some essential forex trading info.First thing you should know is that the forex market is very profitable, because you can make money every time it moves, and believe me, it never stops moving.However, as any other trading operation, forex trading will involve a risk, so you need to make sure that you reduce it as much as you can. To do this you need to find reliable forex trading info focused precisely on showing you ways to ensure a high performance within the market.But what forex trading info should you look for in order to achieve that goal?Well, simply look for forex trading info about educational products and other forex trading tools designed to put you on the right track..I cannot tell you enough how important this is, because when I first started with forex trading I decided to read a little bit here and there, and settled for some forex trading info provided by friends already in the market, I thought I was invincible.As it turns out, I did not do so well. Thankfully I did not lose much money and I managed to make a profit, but not nearly as much as what my friends were making.That obviously meant that I was doing something wrong, so to turn things around and start making it right, I knew I had to go out and find reliable forex trading info about educational products or forex trading tools that would allow me to enhance my performance fast.I knew that would not come without a cost, but before I payed a dime to anyone I did some insane research, and I found several places dedicated to providing forex trading info. Most of the websites I found where not very insightful, and some of them were too sale oriented. However, I kept gathering information and getting an idea of which way to go.After visiting tons forex trading info sites, I concluded that you can improve your forex trading performance in basically three ways:1) By taking a forex trading course, which involves purchasing a good and easy to swallow e-book about forex.2) By getting a forex trading assistant, which involves purchasing a good software or system designed to provide you with reliable signals to enter and exit the forex market at the right time for a profit.3) By getting an automated forex trading system, which involves purchasing a good software designed to place trades and close them automatically for a profit.When confronted with these alternatives, I simply did not know where to start because you see, to me any of these options were good choices.Indeed, you can never go wrong with the first option, because knowledge is always a good thing, but if you can not -or do not want to- put the right amount of effort into the learning process, you can end up losing money instead of making a profit.The second option sounded even better to me because I would not have to make much decisions, since I simply would be pointed out the right moment to place my orders and close them for profits. However I would have to be attentive of the market movements during the day.Being lazy as a I am, I decided to start by taking the third option, because with this one I would not need to dedicate a lot of time in order to profit from the market (although after a few months with automated trading I decided to invest in a forex trading course too). Indeed, the automated forex trading system did all the work, including placing and closing the trade orders, and up so far with over 90% success rate.So as you can see, I ultimately improved my performance as I wanted, but not before I did my homework searching for good forex trading info.As I told you before, forex trading is a very profitable business, but you need to understand that you rely on market movements to make money, so if you are not in the right place at the right time, you could miss a lot of profitable entry points. By having the right tool you will never have to go through that.So before you put a dime on forex trading, start by getting some good forex trading info about educational products and forex tools that will allow you to become a successful trader from the very start. Avoid wasting time and money like I did and make money from day one.

Trading the forex Market Through a expart Advisor
You would think the Forex market isnt for everyone. As the largest market of the world, with a value of over 2 trillion dollars it seems a big man game only. However, even students and housewives can trade the forex market through a expert advisor.Also known in the business world as EA, the forex expert advisor is an automated system software built by experts on the field of currency trading who have had the experience inside and out. From the name itself, individuals who make use of the EA are given the option to choose their trade parameters and are advised by the system which part of the trade would be beneficial and which could potentially make you lose your money.The tricks and expertise of the programmer, his strategies are embedded on the software. Since the trading itself is automatically executed by the system, it saves an individual a great deal from emotional stress and the physical strains of trading.

A new development in the market, which the program is not acquainted or programmed with, may throw off the system from considering other options and alternatives. This goes completely in contrast with the flexibility offered by the Meta Trade 4 platform. Another closely related to this are news releases. Changes in government policies, economy fluctuation and other such factors significantly affect the foreign currency trading market.Since these are conflicting advantages and disadvantages, individuals who wish to succeed in the business of trading should be careful and indentify the ratings objectively. Although the forex expert advisors may seem to do everything for you and help increase those dollar signs, a sound decision should come directly from you. If others deem that there are disadvantages against using these systems, then negate them by doing the actions yourself. Make sure the program you do buy is reviewed and has a good name in the field.

The average daily volume in the global foreign exchange and related markets is continuously growing. Traditional daily turnover was reported to be over US$3.2 trillion in April 2007 by the Bank for International Settlements.[1] Since then, the market has continued to grow. According to Euromoney's annual FX Poll, volumes grew a further 41% between 2007 and 2008.[2]The purpose of FX market is to facilitate trade and investment. The need for a foreign exchange market arises because of the presence of multifarious international currencies such as US Dollar, Pound Sterling, etc., and the need for trading in such currencies.

However, I kept gathering information and getting an idea of which way to go.After visiting tons forex trading info sites, I concluded that you can improve your forex trading performance in basically three ways:1) By taking a forex trading course, which involves purchasing a good and easy to swallow e-book about forex.2) By getting a forex trading assistant, which involves purchasing a good software or system designed to provide you with reliable signals to enter and exit the forex market at the right time for a profit.3) By getting an automated forex trading system, which involves purchasing a good software designed to place trades and close them automatically for a profit.When confronted with these alternatives, I simply did not know where to start because you see, to me any of these options were good choices.Indeed, you can never go wrong with the first option, because knowledge is always a good thing, but if you can not -or do not want to- put the right amount of effort into the learning process, you can end up losing money instead of making a profit.The second option sounded even better to me because I would not have to make much decisions, since I simply would be pointed out the right moment to place my orders and close them for profits. However I would have to be attentive of the market movements during the day.Being lazy as a I am, I decided to start by taking the third option, because with this one I would not need to dedicate a lot of time in order to profit from the market (although after a few months with automated trading I decided to invest in a forex trading course too). Indeed, the automated forex trading system did all the work, including placing and closing the trade orders, and up so far with over 90% success rate.So as you can see, I ultimately improved my performance as I wanted, but not before I did my homework searching for good forex trading info.As I told you before, forex trading is a very profitable business, but you need to understand that you rely on market movements to make money, so if you are not in the right place at the right time, you could miss a lot of profitable entry points. By having the right tool you will never have to go through that.So before you put a dime on forex trading, start by getting some good forex trading info about educational products and forex tools that will allow you to become a successful trader from the very start. Avoid wasting time and money like I did and make money from day one.

you have seen several advertisings featuring how easy is to make money in the Forex market. You might think this is your opportunity to reach your financial freedom, right away, time is money, why waiting any longer if you have the opportunity to make money now. I know, I’ve been there, but you have a chance now, I didn’t, no body told me what I am going to tell you.

We, Forex traders, make transactions based on a set of rules. These sets of rules are what we call a Trading System. Our systems tell us the exact time where we need to get in the market and out the market in order to make a profit (i.e. buy low sell high.)

Creating a system is the first big step you need to take care first. Why is this so important? Because you need to build a system that suits your personality, otherwise you are going to find hard to follow it, thus hard to profit from. A system can be based on technical indicators or what we called a mechanical system or based on experience and intuition or what we call discretionary systems. I highly recommend using and trying first a mechanical system, because discretionary systems are dangerous during the early stages of a Forex trader (can lead to indiscipline.) With experience, on later stages, you will find out which signals work better and which ones to avoid.

The next step in this Forex guide is to try your system on a demo account. Most Forex brokers offer a demo account, an account with virtual money. This is an excellent choice to test your trading system as there is no money at risk. In this step you will figure out if the strategy works for you. If you feel comfortable trading it, then it is most likely to produce good results. How much time should you stay in this step? It varies, but you shouldn’t go one step further until your system gets consistent profitable results over a period of time. It can take many months, but remember, you need to be patient.

You must be honest to yourself; you need to take every single signal generated by your system, not only the signals you thought were going to work, otherwise, you are going to have problems in the next two steps.

Ok, by know you had consistent profitable results on your demo account. You might think its time to go full. Nope, nope, nope. There is a big difference between trading a demo and a real account. The most important difference lies on emotions (fear, greed, anger, etc.) These are psychological barriers that affect every single decision made by traders regardless of what he/she is trading (stocks, bonds, Forex, futures, grains, etc.) These emotional factors, in my opinion, are the most determinant factor that separates profitable traders from the others.

The next step in this Forex guide is specially designed to deal with emotions and to confirm the results obtained in the prior step (consistent results in a demo account.) At this step you need to trade in a real account with limited funds. Some brokers offer fractional lot trading. Meaning you are able to trade any desired amount (even cents.) The important thing here is that these emotions we’ve been talking about are present only when there is real money at risk. At this stage, you are going to see if you are really comfortable trading your system and if you are able to trade with such system, remember different systems produce different emotions. If you are able to produce similar results than those obtained in a demo account, then ready for the next step. If you didn’t, then you might need to create another system, there is chance your system never fit you. If you created consistent profitable results on this stage, you have a chance to produce similar results in the next one, on the other hand, if you didn’t produce good results in this stage, you will not be able to make on the next stage. Remember, you need to do things right, and be honest to yourself.

The last stage is trading in a real account with sufficient funds. If you are at this stage, and have passed successfully every prior stage, then you have a chance to make it, go ahead and try it, you need to be confident in yourself and in your system, your strategy have already produced consistent profitable results, there are reasons to believe you are going to make it. Very few traders fail at this stage (if passed successfully prior stages.)

Trading successfully is no easy task, it requires a lot of work, patience, discipline, and education. By completing the steps outlined in this Forex course, you have a chance to produce profitable results. I repeat it again, you need to be honest to yourself about the results obtained in every stage. Some times you might need expert guidance regarding your system development strategies.

Forex trading Strageticies
By far regarded as the largest and the busiest market, the Forex market has tremendous profit potential. The Forex currency market is a lot different from the stock market and you need to have a very good understanding about the way this market functions. Its not surprising that there's a lot being said and written about Forex currency trading. In fact, those who are keen on mastering Forex trading skills can actually take up a Forex trading course and get formal Forex education. Before you set out to trade in the Forex market or the Foreign Currency Exchange Market, you must make sure that you have done plenty of research, studied historical trends, analyzed existing trends, and worked out profitable Forex trading strategies that can boost your Forex trade.There is no standard strategy that can be safely applied when it comes to Forex currency trading. Basically, what may work for one may not necessarily fit your trading needs and you must therefore devise your own strategies that can guarantee success in the long run. You need to first analyze the market using a technical analysis approach or the fundamental analysis approach to plan your moves. While technical analysis refers to forecasting future movement based on past performance, fundamental analysis refers to studying current accounts and impact of imports and exports on currency flow.Understanding how volatile this market is, every experienced trader understands that it is not practically possible to generate profits from every trade. However, as you study this market closely, you will be able to work out better strategies that can minimize your risk levels.Use surplus money for tradingThis market is speculative and "timing a trade' is crucial. Even a slightest mistake can cost you a lot of money. So, make sure that you use only surplus money in order to save yourself from financial wreck. One of the biggest mistakes many traders do is staking all their money in a single trade. If you are not sure, go for margin trading to enjoy more leverage.Do some market researchConsult your financial advisor or a Forex broker who can tell you the exact status of the Forex market. You need to understand whether current trend is upwards or downwards, is it strong or weak, and how long has this trend been going on or is a new trend in the making. A trade without prior market research can lead to financial disasters.Decide the time frame for tradingAs a smart Forex trader, you must have a time frame in mind beyond which you wont like to trade and also decide an approximate exit price. This gives you a proper perspective and helps you to plan your Forex trade more efficiently. You need to therefore decide whether you would like to go for long term trading or intra-day trading. This will help you to determine which approach you must adopt for research and analysis. For instance, for someone trading several times a day, a daily graph analysis will be useless and the trader will require thirty minute or hour graphs to plan his exit. Another important factor that you need to take into account is the time periods when different financial companies enter and exit the foreign exchange market in order to study the market trends.Choosing the right time to trade Timing is everything when it comes to Forex trading and once you have understood the market trends you need to immediately plan an entry. Rely on technical analysis to time your move and predict market movements.If you are not sure about which Forex trading strategy to use, find a good Forex broker who can handle your financial portfolio for you

Advantages of Forex Trading

Some traders prefer the monthly, weekly or daily trade forex strategy. Others consider that the best forex strategy is the intraday trading, and probably none of them is the absolute best.

In reality, there can be profits in any forex strategy as long as you are well aware of the market movers and signals at any given time, and you have a clear understanding of all the elements that support your forex strategy.

Some traders base their forex strategy in long term investments (monthly or weekly positions), while others will build their forex strategy around daily or intradaily positions that might be open no longer than a few hours or even minutes (this traders are known as scalpers).

A long term forex strategy will probably earn you 100 or 200 pips in one trade, but that is probably all you will gain within a month or a week if your forex strategy gravitates around monthly or weekly positions, But on the other hand, a well carried scalping forex strategy can deliver many little 10 or 20 pip trades during a day, meaning that maybe you can total anything between 80 to 160 pips in one day using this forex strategy.

The intraday forex strategy benefits from the fact that the forex market, whether moving up or down within any particular currency pair, will always make small fluctuations that you can profit from using an intraday forex strategy.

Which forex strategy is best for you will depend greatly on your personal investment and risk management style, and also on how much time you can dedicate during the day in order to follow the market trends and spot the right entry points for a profitable trade.

I prefer the intraday forex strategy because of its profitability and because frankly I have some time to spare, but mostly because I have the assistance of a software I discovered a while ago, which places trades by itself based on the market trends occurring both during the day an during the night.

So even when if am not in front of my pc, I can go on trading all day and all night, profiting from of every little window of opportunity to scalp a few pips out of the market. With this approach, my intraday forex strategy delivers about 120 pips daily, which in my particular case means I earn about $3,000 per month with a 5,000 investment.

So the intraday forex strategy can indeed be the most profitable one, but it will demand that you stay very attentive at what is going on within the market on a minute by minute basis, unless of course you have a software that stays on guard while you are busy with your job or anything else that might keep you from continuously analyzing the market trends.

If you are wondering about the software I use to help me with my intraday forex strategy, I will only tell you that it does work and that its called the FAPS.

Foreign exchange trading involves buying and selling different currencies. It works on the theory that is similar with share market. As we know that to make the profit, you have to buy at lower price and sell at higher price, or we can also sell at higher price first and buy at lower price. But its not as easy as it sounds. By studying certain market conditions, you can actually make profits in forex. All you have to do is to analyze the forex in a correct way and do the good trade.Why to go for Foreign exchange trading? There is an option to invest in stock market also but here are a few important advantages of currency trading over stock market.24-hour TradingForex trading is done on 24-hours basis. This market is open throughout day and night as somewhere in the world, there must be this buy and sell trading is going on. Traders involved in forex trading strategy can always get that first hand information and can act accordingly. The currency rate is actually run through telecommunication all over the network of banks 24 hours a day from 00:00 GMT on Monday to 10:00 pm GMT on Friday. There are ECNs (Electronic Communication Networks) which bring together buyers and sellers.Greater LiquidityThere is a superior liquidity in the market as there are always buyers and sellers to purchase and sell foreign currencies. Forex trading market size is 50 times bigger than the New York Stock Exchange and liquidity of such large market ensures price stability. Forex trading stop orders could be carried out more simply. This makes Forex trading signal more liquid and permits Forex traders to take benefit of trading opportunities as they happen rather than waiting for the market to open the next day.100:1 High Leverage in forex trading100 to 1 leverage is commonly available from online forex dealers, which substantially exceeds the common 2:1 margin offered by equity brokers. This gives them a huge leverage in their trading and presents the potential for extraordinary profits with relative small investments. Leverage can also go the opposite way and may lead to huge losses if you are not careful.Forex trading transactions have no commissions. Forex Brokers can earn money by fixing their own speculation between what a currency could be bought at and what it could be sold at. In difference, Forex traders have to pay a commission fee or brokerage fee for every futures transaction they come in to the view. The forex market is so large that no one individual, bank, fund or government body can influence it for a long period of time. In forex trading strategy, you can trade between seven currencies but not everyone trade in all.There are certain trading signals that give indications to the trade.

Although trading in this market is not easy, it can be, provided you find a proven and profitable Forex trading system.Even a planned investment can often take a wrong turn. The investor has a bad day even after planning his actions. Nevertheless, this is of little concern to the Forex trader. Every trader in the Forex market knows that to keep the losses to a minimum the trader will have to follow their forex trading strategy and use proper money management. In this way, he will learn to survive the volatile investment market and make profitable trades in the long term.The Forex market allows traders to conduct their transactions in a rather emotionless manner. This is because the pre-determined guidelines that form a forex trading system can make it easier for traders. Executing actions is now easy as there are fixed price levels of initial stop loss and trailing loss. Apart from this, there already exists a computed price profit, which is projected in the traders interests. This computation allows the trader to know what his level of loss or profit is and even the risk to reward ratio before he even begins to trade for the day.Using the proper forex trading system, the trader plans his trade and makes a profit with the right moves. But on the other hand, if the trader makes a wrong move and is more likely to make a loss than a profit, the Forex trading system will show the trader that he is making a wrong move. In this way the trader is able to move out of the situation quickly and the huge losses he would have otherwise incurred is no more a worry. Trading in this way protect the trader from large losses and helps lock in higher profits for winning trades.There are many types of forex traders from position traders to swing traders to day traders. Forex traders who buy and sell their currencies or open and close their markets on the very same day are considered day traders. There are many traders who believe that the day trading system is not worthwhile and do not give it much importance, but with the right forex trading strategy, day trading can be very profitable. When researching a forex trading strategy, what you need to do is review it by finding out the reactions of other Forex traders. You can ask any existing Forex traders about their trading experience and how they like their trading system and if they consider it to be a profitable one. Trading forums are another way of receiving reviews about Forex trading systems. As there are a number of forums, you will have no difficulty in getting the information you require. However, many professionals feel that day trading is quite profitable though it is not the easiest way to trade. If this wasnt a profitable method of investing then how does one explain the large number of day traders who earn their income solely from this source? Therefore, if you wish to be part of any system that relates to day trading then it is necessary that you have sufficient knowledge about many Forex trading systems and strategies.Many sites let you in on the Dos and Donts of Forex trading.

Most traders venture into the Forex market with little or no experience in the Forex market. This results in painful experiences like loosing most of the risk capital, frustration because it seemed so easy to make money, etc.

US Dollars of forex

2009-05-07T13:02:00.002-07:00

USD - The US Dollar EUR - The currency of the European Union "EURO" GBP - The British Pound JPN - The Japanese Yen CHF - The Swiss Franc AUD - The Australian Dollar CAD - The Canadian Dollar

There are symbols for other currencies as well, but these are the most commonly traded ones.

A currency can never be traded by itself. So you can not ever trade a EUR by itself. You always need to compare one currency with another currency to make a trade possible.

Some of the common PAIRS are:

EUR/USD Euro / US Dollar "Euro"

USD/JPY US Dollar / Japanese Yen "Dollar Yen"

GBP/USD British Pound / US Dollar "Cable"

USD/CAD US Dollar / Canadian Dollar "Dollar Canada"

AUD/USD Australian Dollar/US Dollar "Aussie Dollar"

USD/CHF US Dollar / Swiss Franc "Swissy"

EUR/JPY Euro / Japanese Yen "Euro Yen"

The listed currency pairs above look like a fraction. The numerator (top of the fraction or "left" of the / however you want to SEE it) is called the base currency. The denominator (bottom of the fraction or "right" of the /however you want to SEE it) is called the counter currency. When you place an order to buy the EUR/USD, for instance, you are actually buying the EUR and selling the USD. If you were to sell the pair, you would be selling the EUR and buying the USD. So if you buy or sell a currency PAIR, you are buying/selling the base currency. You are always doing the opposite of what you did with to base currency with the counter currency.

If this seems confusing then you’re in luck. You can always get by with just thinking of the entire pair as one item. Then you are just buying or selling that one item. Thinking like this will still enable you to place trades. You only need to be aware of the base/counter concept for Fundamental Analysis issues.

So why is it important to know about the base/counter currency? The base/counter currency concept illustrates what is actually taking place in a Forex transaction. Some of you reading this, know that short-selling was restricted in the stock market *(Short-selling is where you sell a stock/currency/option/commodity first and then try to buy it back at a lower price later). But in the FOREX you are always buying one currency (base) and selling another (counter). If you sell the pair you are simply flipping which one you buy and which one you sell. The transaction is essentially the same. This allows you to short-sell with no restrictions.

You want to be able to short-sell with no restrictions so you can make money when the market drops as well as when it rises. The problem with traditional stock market trading is that the market has to go up for you to make money. With FOREX trading you can make money in all directions.

Placing a trade in the foreign exchange market is simple. What you need is to open a trading account with a reliable broker. You can start trading almost immediately after the account is up. Beginners are advisable to observe the traders' rules and read more books and articles from experienced traders before getting their hand wet.

Now, we have an bird-eye view of what Forex trading is. Next, we will move on to the introduction of forex market. What you need to prepare before you trade.

Speaking of dollars
have been thinking about this whole economic mess lately and something interesting occured to me.Before this huge hole in the economy happened, we were exporting a record amount of dollars. Oil prices were at an all time high and money was flowing out of the country in huge waves. Not to mention all those chinese products at walmart.Does anyone wonder if perhaps we just exported so much money that it created this void which the goverment is now madly trying to fill?This mess has been attributted to a credit freeze. While it’s obvious that America has been living on too much credit, it’s hard to believe that the economy can reverse course so hard on credit alone.This is all just food for thought. Right now, the government is trying to ride in and convince us all that we absolutely must spend all this money to save the system. Not to mention, they want us to go for that, without really questioning how it happened in the first place.What do you think is the real cause of this mess? Any suggestions on the solution? We know what solution we are getting, but is it the right one?

US Stimulus Package Passes
The stimulus package passed in the US this past week. The markets don’t seem to be breathing the sigh of relief that was expected.The stimulus package is only like a shot in the arm for the US economy. While the shot will help, it doesn’t solve the problems that created the illness.It’s time to address the “irrational exuberance” that brought on this current credit mess. The government has it right by focusing on jobs and infrastructure, but this is the third swing in a series of billion dollar swings.The first swing was the infamous “stimulus checks”, which turned out to be a total waste of money and useless extension of debt. The second swing was over 700 billion dollars aimed at shoring up banks, yet banks are failing left and right.
Bank of Canada Pushes Rates Towards Zero
The Bank of Canada lowered interest rates on the Canadian dollar by 50 basis points for January. The Canadian interest rate now stands at a very low 1 percent. This is the lowest level for interest rates in Canada since 1934.Canada has been experiencing a lot of trouble with exports and general economic conditions in the country deteriorating. I have no doubt that within two months they will have an interest rate of 25 basis points or lower. Interest rates hitting zero is just a reality now for countries around the globe. The rabbit hole goes so deep, that no one really knows where it ends. Central banks are just reacting during each meeting with a look at trends and facing the reality that they don’t know where the end of the line is.Numerous politicians in the US have said this is a crisis on confidence, and while most of us might laugh at that, it is true to an extent. I wouldn’t say that we are in a “mental recession”, however, how it this has been approached has a lot to do with the spreading crisis. As businesses and people get nervous and stop spending, the cycle just starts over. Governments are paranoid because there really isn’t a way to communicate with people without committing political suicide.Most of the governments around the world have been slow to react as the global economy turned down, and they have reacted rashly and without enough thought when they finally did act.The world is to the point where the officials that are responsible for economic policy have to stop playing shell games. They need to just admit that there are problems with the system and that some real purging must be done. It is inevitable. The truth is that all these central banks should have done 3 or 4 percent rate cuts a few months ago, and given the system a real shock that was fast and hard instead of waiting to see how bad the damage was going to be. Generally, I don’t support actions like that, I think it is smarter to be more cautious. However, we are facing the implosion of some very dangerous games that have taken place throughout the global economy. It is all interconnected more than ever, so everyone is affected. It’s not that anything like this has never happened before, it’s just that this is the biggest.The global reality is interest rates have to be at almost zero before any type of recovery is going to be seen. Interest rates are not the only key, but they are an important part of the equation.

Trading the forex Market Through a expart Advisor
You would think the Forex market isnt for everyone. As the largest market of the world, with a value of over 2 trillion dollars it seems a big man game only. However, even students and housewives can trade the forex market through a expert advisor.Also known in the business world as EA, the forex expert advisor is an automated system software built by experts on the field of currency trading who have had the experience inside and out. From the name itself, individuals who make use of the EA are given the option to choose their trade parameters and are advised by the system which part of the trade would be beneficial and which could potentially make you lose your money.The tricks and expertise of the programmer, his strategies are embedded on the software. Since the trading itself is automatically executed by the system, it saves an individual a great deal from emotional stress and the physical strains of trading. After setting the needed parameters, you can minimize your acting on impulse and instinct, working mathematically. Although both impulse and instinct will allways remain factors.These forex expert advisor systems run on Meta Trade 4 platform which protects the individual with a highly developed security, interfaces that a user can customize and set the parameters with, flexibility, multilingual support and historical data. The last part refers to a previous success in the trading industry, that once the system detects the same winning condition, can send you an advice and make the trade.However, some may view the use of robots and forex expert advisors as ineffective. Since the foreign exchange is a fast moving market, the first reason why people doubt it is due to inability to point out new circumstances which arise from a combination of different elements. A new development in the market, which the program is not acquainted or programmed with, may throw off the system from considering other options and alternatives. This goes completely in contrast with the flexibility offered by the Meta Trade 4 platform. Another closely related to this are news releases. Changes in government policies, economy fluctuation and other such factors significantly affect the foreign currency trading market.Since these are conflicting advantages and disadvantages, individuals who wish to succeed in the business of trading should be careful and indentify the ratings objectively. Although the forex expert advisors may seem to do everything for you and help increase those dollar signs, a sound decision should come directly from you. If others deem that there are disadvantages against using these systems, then negate them by doing the actions yourself. Make sure the program you do buy is reviewed and has a good name in the field. Then, you can start experiencing the forex trad

What is forex trading? Introduction of Forex Currency symbols

Currency traders make profits over the small fluctuations in exchange rates. In the Forex market, you can buy or sell one currency for another. When you buy a currency, you are said to be "long" when you sell a currency, you are said to be "short". For example, in the GBP/USD pair. When you go "long", mean you buy GBP and sell USD, when you go short, you sell GBP and buy USD. As the value of one currency rises or falls relative to another, trader's investments increase or decrease in value accordingly.
The Seven Most Traded Currencies in FOREX

Currencies are traded in dollar amounts called “lots”. One lot is equal to $1,000, which controls $100,000 in currency. This is what is known as the "margin". You can control $100,000 worth of currency for only 1,000 dollars. This is what is called “High Leverage”.

Currencies are always traded in pairs in the FOREX. The pairs have a unique notation that expresses what currencies are being traded. The symbol for a currency pair will always be in the form ABC/DEF. ABC/DEF is not a real currency pair, it is an example of a symbol for a currency pair. In this example ABC is the symbol for one countries currency and DEF is the symbol for another countries currency.

There are five essential aspects of foreign currency market a beginner trader (and an old one as well) should be aware of:Forex Fundamental Analysis Forex Technical Analysis Money Management Forex Trading Psychology Forex Brokerage Understanding and mastering these sides of trading are crucial to organize your Forex trading experience.Forex Fundamental AnalysisFundamental analysis is the process of market analysis which is done regarding only "real" events and macroeconomic data which is related to the traded currencies. Fundamental analysis is used not only in Forex but can be a part of any financial planning or forecasting. Concepts that are part of Forex fundamental analysis: overnight interest rates, central banks meetings and decisions, any macroeconomic news, global industrial, economical, political and weather news. Fundamental analysis is the most natural way of making Forex market forecasts. In theory, it alone should work perfectly, but in practice it is often used in pair with technical analysis. Recommended e-books on Forex fundamental analysis:Reminiscences of a Stock Operator What Moves the Currency Market?Forex Technical AnalysisTechnical analysis is the process of market analysis that relies only on market data numbers - quotes, charts, simple and complex indicators, volume of supply and demand, past market data, etc. The main idea behind Forex technical analysis is the postulate of functional dependence of the future market technical data on the past market technical data. As well as with fundamental analysis, technical analysis is believed to be self-sufficient and you can use only it to successfully trade Forex. In practice, both analysis methods are used. Recommended e-books on Forex fundamental analysis are:The Law Of Charts Candlesticks For Support And Resistance Trend DeterminationMoney Management in ForexEven if you master every possible method of market analysis and will make very accurate predictions for future Forex market behavior, you won't make any money without a proper money management strategy. Money management in Forex (as well as in other financial markets) is a complex set of rules which you develop to fit your own trading style and amount of money you have for trading. Money management play very important role in getting profits out of Forex; do not underestimate it. To get more information on money management you can read these books:Risk Control and Money Management Money Management (A chapter from The Mathematics of Gambling)Forex Trading PsychologyWhile learning a lot about market analysis and money management is an obvious and necessary step to be a successful Forex traders, you also need to master your emotions to keep your trading performance under strict control of mind and intuition. Controlling your emotions in Forex trading is often a balancing between greed and cautiousness. Almost any known psychology practices and techniques can work for Forex traders to help them keep to their trading strategies rather to their spontaneous emotions. Problems you'll have to deal while being a professional Forex trader:Your greed Overtrading Lack of discipline Lack of confidence Blind following others' forecasts These are very professional books on psychology written specially for financial traders:Calming The Mind So That Body Can Perform Emotion Free Trading The Miracle of DisciplineForex BrokerageEvery Forex trader like any other professional needs tools to trade. One of these tools, which is vital to be in market, is a Forex broker and specifically for Internet - on-line Forex broker - a company which will provide real-time market information to trader and bring his orders to Forex market. While choosing a right Forex broker things to look for are the following:Being a professional company you can trust Provide you with real-time quotes Execute your orders fast and accurately Don't take a lot of commissions Support the withdraw/deposit methods that you can use For beginning Forex traders I recommend these four brokerage companies that are probably the best Forex brokers to start with:FXOpen — one of the most popular and progressive brokers with MetaTrader platform and comfortable trading conditions for all kind of traders.

LiteForex — broker that supports MetaTrader 4 Forex trading platform and doesn't require a lot of money to start with.

Australia, New Zealand to Lower Rates
I won't lie; the Forex Blog is admittedly Dollar-centric, in that developments in forex markets are usually assessed relative to their projected impact on the US Dollar. Sometimes, we forget that their are other currency pairs that move irrespective of the Dollar. Take the Australian Dollar and New Zealand Kiwi, for example. As both currencies are backed by high interest rates, they have benefited equally from the carry trade and as a result, they behave quite similarly. Combined with the fact that they are practically neighbors, it's easy to forget that there are unique circumstances that weigh separately on them.Over the next 12 months, both countries' Central Banks are expected to significantly lower their benchmark interest rates as a result of slowing economic growth. However, as New Zealand does not have a large stock of natural resources to depend on in times of economic turmoil, it is projected to lower rates quite sharply, compared to Australia. Accordingly, the Australian Dollar may represent a buying opportunity against the Kiwi in the near-term. Bloomberg News reports:New Zealand's dollar is likely to fall 8.7 percent to NZ$1.33 versus Australia's by year-end as the nation's economic slowdown accelerates, boosting prospects the RBNZ will lower borrowing costs...according to RBC Capital Markets.

created this page to share my story of how I lost my house, had to file for bankruptcy, and almost lost my entire life savings before I was able to turn it all around. I had so many of my friends and friends of friends asking me how on earth I was able to pull out of such a horrible situation, and then end up retired only 6 months later.I Made 6k On My FIRST Try...It all started back when I was a trader in the days when the market was at its best. (Up to Sept 11th.) I had sold my business and every one I knew was making a ton of money in the stock market. So I put my life savings into the market and turned 200k into about 10k in 6 short months. I lost my house and had to declare bankruptcy. I had always worked for myself before this, but now I had to get a job just to pay the bills. Luckily my wife stuck with me through all of this.After that I had found a decent job in the Denver area, and lived in a fairly nice part of town. I never really got used to having to work for someone else, but in the position I was in I felt like I had no option. I had virtually no money left for my retirement, and it was beginning to dawn on me that I very well might end up working for the rest of my life.Thats when I stumbled across an ad online for a program called Forex Secrets. The program seemed like everything I wish I had years ago, but I was still very skeptical of course. I have paid over 5k for a weekend course before that I took while I was going broke. But I ordered it anyway just to take a look, although I honestly expected to be shipping it back in a week or two.Right off the bat I loved how the system was not just trying to tell me what to trade and when to get in and get out. No, instead it taught me how to actually read the markets, and what to do in various demanding situations. It reminds me of a saying by Tony Robbins, ”John the baker took 20 years to perfect his chocolate cake recipe. But how long will it take you to learn to make the cake if John is willing to teach you?” This system has turned out to be my “John the baker”.I am happy to say that 6 months after beginning Forex Secrets, I left my job and am devoting myself to trading in the Forex as my “full-time” job. Since leaving work in January, I have consistently made more money trading than I would have made working for someone else.I’m excited to report that I am having a very good week this week. Currently I am monitoring and managing some trades that I have had on for 9 days now, and will make a profit of $702,102.00 from these trades alone.This program has totally given me my freedom back, and allowed me to retire just when I thought id be working for the rest of my life. That is why I have written this page. I am deeply indebted to Forex Secrets and I really appreciate the level completeness and quality of the program. You can get more information about the Forex Secrets at

Forex Trading
Foreign Currency Exchange (Forex) Trading allows an investor to participate in profitable fluctuations of world currencies. Forex trading works by selecting pairs of currencies and then measuring profit or loss by the fluctuations of one one currency's market activity compared to the other. For example, fluctuations in the value of the $ U.S. Dollar are measured against another world currency such as the £ British Pound, € Eurodollar, ¥ Japanese Yen etc. Being able to discern price trends in market activity is the essence of all profitable trading and this is what makes foreign currencies so exciting, currencies are the world's 'best trending' market. This gives Forex investors a profit making edge that is unavailable in most other markets.Forex Trading is being called 'today's exciting new investment opportunity for the savvy investor'. The reason is that the Forex Trading Market only began to emerge in 1978, when worldwide currencies were allowed to 'float' according to supply and demand, 7 years after the Gold Standard was abandoned. Up until 1995 Forex Trading was only available to banks and large multinational corporations but today, thanks to the proliferation of the computer and a new era of internet-based communication technologies, this highly profitable market is open to everyone. The Forex Trading Market's growth has been unprecedented, explosive, and continues to be unequaled by any other trading market.Unlike traditional trading which brings buyers and sellers together in a central location (trading floors) in Forex Trading there is no need for a centralized location. Forex is a market where worldwide traders conduct business by high-speed Internet connections with the Interbank Foreign Currency Exchange via Forex Clearinghouses (also called Forex Brokerage Firms). Forex has not only become the fastest growing trading market, but also the most profitable trading marketplace in the world.Simply stated, Forex is the most profitable because it is the world's largest marketplace. The Foreign Currency market as a whole accounts for over 1.2 trillion dollars of trading per day (as determined by the fourth Central Bank Survey of Foreign Exchange and Derivatives Market Activity, 1998. This figure is understood to be significantly higher today). To put this into perspective, on any given day the Foreign Currency Exchange Market activity is vastly greater than the Stock Market. It is 75 times greater than the New York Stock Exchange where the average total daily value (using 1998 figures) of both foreign and domestic stocks is $16 billion, and much greater than the daily activity on the London Stock Exchange, with $11 billion.Furthermore, in addition to being the world's largest and most profitable market, The Foreign Currency Exchange Market is the world's most powerful and persistent trading market regardless of negative economic indicators. This is because currencies 'trend' better than every other market due to their macro-economic nature. Unlike many commodities whose supply and demand fundamentals can literally change overnight (as we found in the sudden dot com 'market adjustment' and even more abruptly on September 11, 2001), currency fundamentals are much less random, and far more predictable. This is well illustrated in the way interest rates are changed gradually and only in small increments.Other examples of fundamental predictability are illustrated by the following statistics. Of the $1.2 trillion day trading in Foreign Currency Exchange, 83% of spot foreign exchange activity and 95% of swap activity involves US Dollars. The Euro is the second most active currency at 37%. The Japanese Yen (24%) and the British Pound Sterling (10%) are ranked third and fourth. The Swiss Franc is 7%, and the Canadian and Australian Dollars account for 3%.Spot Forex is the type of forex trade in which self-traders concentrate most of their investment activity for reasons that are self-explanatory. By definition, a Spot Forex transaction is a currency trade transaction that has a settlement (liquidation) within a maximum of 2 working days following the closing of the trade. Therefore Spot Forex allows the self-trader high liquidity. Another popular feature for well-advised Spot Forex self-traders is the strong profit potential from continual market fluctuations by buying a specific currency when it is weaker and selling it when it is stronger, and the continual pairing of strong currencies against weak ones. This potential for profit or loss is amplified by the effect of leverage. Leverage is a term that describes what can be achieved when a smaller amount of money controls a much larger amount of money. With regards to Forex Trading for example, a leverage-factor of 100 can allow the trader to hold a 100,000 US Dollar position with a modest 1,000 US Dollar margin deposit. Online Forex day trading focuses its investment activity largely on Spot Forex because of the 'risk manageability' of in-and-out trading plus the potential to generate excellent and highly liquid profits."Few financial industries generate as much excitement and profit as currency exchange. Traders around the world enter trades for weeks, days or split seconds, generating explosive moves or steady flows, and money changes hands quickly at a staggering daily average of a trillion US dollars. Forex profitability is legendary. George Soros of Quantum Fund realized a profit in excess of 1 billion dollars for a couple of days work in September 1992. Hans Hufschmid of Soloman Brothers, Inc. netted $28 million for 1993. Even by Wall Street standards, these numbers are heartstoppers".*

Creating a system is the first big step you need to take care first. Why is this so important? Because you need to build a system that suits your personality, otherwise you are going to find hard to follow it, thus hard to profit from. A system can be based on technical indicators or what we called a mechanical system or based on experience and intuition or what we call discretionary systems. I highly recommend using and trying first a mechanical system, because discretionary systems are dangerous during the early stages of a Forex trader (can lead to indiscipline.) With experience, on later stages, you will find out which signals work better and which ones to avoid.

The next step in this Forex guide is to try your system on a demo account. Most Forex brokers offer a demo account, an account with virtual money. This is an excellent choice to test your trading system as there is no money at risk. In this step you will figure out if the strategy works for you. If you feel comfortable trading it, then it is most likely to produce good results. How much time should you stay in this step? It varies, but you shouldn’t go one step further until your system gets consistent profitable results over a period of time. It can take many months, but remember, you need to be patient.

You must be honest to yourself; you need to take every single signal generated by your system, not only the signals you thought were going to work, otherwise, you are going to have problems in the next two steps.

Ok, by know you had consistent profitable results on your demo account. You might think its time to go full. Nope, nope, nope. There is a big difference between trading a demo and a real account. The most important difference lies on emotions (fear, greed, anger, etc.) These are psychological barriers that affect every single decision made by traders regardless of what he/she is trading (stocks, bonds, Forex, futures, grains, etc.) These emotional factors, in my opinion, are the most determinant factor that separates profitable traders from the others.

The next step in this Forex guide is specially designed to deal with emotions and to confirm the results obtained in the prior step (consistent results in a demo account.) At this step you need to trade in a real account with limited funds. Some brokers offer fractional lot trading. Meaning you are able to trade any desired amount (even cents.) The important thing here is that these emotions we’ve been talking about are present only when there is real money at risk. At this stage, you are going to see if you are really comfortable trading your system and if you are able to trade with such system, remember different systems produce different emotions. If you are able to produce similar results than those obtained in a demo account, then ready for the next step. If you didn’t, then you might need to create another system, there is chance your system never fit you. If you created consistent profitable results on this stage, you have a chance to produce similar results in the next one, on the other hand, if you didn’t produce good results in this stage, you will not be able to make on the next stage. Remember, you need to do things right, and be honest to yourself.

The last stage is trading in a real account with sufficient funds. If you are at this stage, and have passed successfully every prior stage, then you have a chance to make it, go ahead and try it, you need to be confident in yourself and in your system, your strategy have already produced consistent profitable results, there are reasons to believe you are going to make it. Very few traders fail at this stage (if passed successfully prior stages.)

Trading successfully is no easy task, it requires a lot of work, patience, discipline, and education. By completing the steps outlined in this Forex course, you have a chance to produce profitable results. I repeat it again, you need to be honest to yourself about the results obtained in every stage. Some times you might need expert guidance regarding your system development strategies.

Even a slightest mistake can cost you a lot of money. So, make sure that you use only surplus money in order to save yourself from financial wreck.

If you are not sure, go for margin trading to enjoy more leverage.Do some market researchConsult your financial advisor or a Forex broker who can tell you the exact status of the Forex market.

However, even students and housewives can trade the forex market through a expert advisor.Also known in the business world as EA, the forex expert advisor is an automated system software built by experts on the field of currency trading who have had the experience inside and out.

Forigen Exchange market
The foreign exchange (currency or FX) market is where currency trading takes place. FX transactions typically involve one party purchasing a quantity of one currency in exchange for paying a quantity of another. The foreign exchange market that we see today started evolving during the 1970s when worldover countries gradually switched to floating exchange rate from their erstwhile exchange rate regime, which remained fixed as per the Bretton Woods system till 1971.Today, the FX market is one of the largest and most liquid financial markets in the world, and includes trading between large banks, central banks, currency speculators, corporations, governments, and other institutions. The average daily volume in the global foreign exchange and related markets is continuously growing. Traditional daily turnover was reported to be over US$3.2 trillion in April 2007 by the Bank for International Settlements.[1] Since then, the market has continued to grow. According to Euromoney's annual FX Poll, volumes grew a further 41% between 2007 and 2008.[2]The purpose of FX market is to facilitate trade and investment. The need for a foreign exchange market arises because of the presence of multifarious international currencies such as US Dollar, Pound Sterling, etc., and the need for trading in such currencies.

Advantages of Forex Trading

Some traders prefer the monthly, weekly or daily trade forex strategy. Others consider that the best forex strategy is the intraday trading, and probably none of them is the absolute best.

In reality, there can be profits in any forex strategy as long as you are well aware of the market movers and signals at any given time, and you have a clear understanding of all the elements that support your forex strategy.

Some traders base their forex strategy in long term investments (monthly or weekly positions), while others will build their forex strategy around daily or intradaily positions that might be open no longer than a few hours or even minutes (this traders are known as scalpers).

A long term forex strategy will probably earn you 100 or 200 pips in one trade, but that is probably all you will gain within a month or a week if your forex strategy gravitates around monthly or weekly positions, But on the other hand, a well carried scalping forex strategy can deliver many little 10 or 20 pip trades during a day, meaning that maybe you can total anything between 80 to 160 pips in one day using this forex strategy.

The intraday forex strategy benefits from the fact that the forex market, whether moving up or down within any particular currency pair, will always make small fluctuations that you can profit from using an intraday forex strategy.

Foreign exchange trading involves buying and selling different currencies. It works on the theory that is similar with share market. As we know that to make the profit, you have to buy at lower price and sell at higher price, or we can also sell at higher price first and buy at lower price. But its not as easy as it sounds. By studying certain market conditions, you can actually make profits in forex. All you have to do is to analyze the forex in a correct way and do the good trade.Why to go for Foreign exchange trading? There is an option to invest in stock market also but here are a few important advantages of currency trading over stock market.24-hour TradingForex trading is done on 24-hours basis. This market is open throughout day and night as somewhere in the world, there must be this buy and sell trading is going on. Traders involved in forex trading strategy can always get that first hand information and can act accordingly. The currency rate is actually run through telecommunication all over the network of banks 24 hours a day from 00:00 GMT on Monday to 10:00 pm GMT on Friday. There are ECNs (Electronic Communication Networks) which bring together buyers and sellers.Greater LiquidityThere is a superior liquidity in the market as there are always buyers and sellers to purchase and sell foreign currencies. Forex trading market size is 50 times bigger than the New York Stock Exchange and liquidity of such large market ensures price stability. Forex trading stop orders could be carried out more simply. This makes Forex trading signal more liquid and permits Forex traders to take benefit of trading opportunities as they happen rather than waiting for the market to open the next day.100:1 High Leverage in forex trading100 to 1 leverage is commonly available from online forex dealers, which substantially exceeds the common 2:1 margin offered by equity brokers. This gives them a huge leverage in their trading and presents the potential for extraordinary profits with relative small investments. Leverage can also go the opposite way and may lead to huge losses if you are not careful.Forex trading transactions have no commissions. Forex Brokers can earn money by fixing their own speculation between what a currency could be bought at and what it could be sold at. In difference, Forex traders have to pay a commission fee or brokerage fee for every futures transaction they come in to the view. The forex market is so large that no one individual, bank, fund or government body can influence it for a long period of time. In forex trading strategy, you can trade between seven currencies but not everyone trade in all.There are certain trading signals that give indications to the trade. These forex signals are delivered by email, instant messenger or direct to your desktop. Some services even offer auto-trading, allowing you to auto-execute their trading signals direct into your broker account.

EUR/USD Euro / US Dollar "Euro"

USD/JPY US Dollar / Japanese Yen "Dollar Yen"

GBP/USD British Pound / US Dollar "Cable"

USD/CAD US Dollar / Canadian Dollar "Dollar Canada"

AUD/USD Australian Dollar/US Dollar "Aussie Dollar"

USD/CHF US Dollar / Swiss Franc "Swissy"

EUR/JPY Euro / Japanese Yen "Euro Yen"

The listed currency pairs above look like a fraction. The numerator (top of the fraction or "left" of the / however you want to SEE it) is called the base currency. The denominator (bottom of the fraction or "right" of the /however you want to SEE it) is called the counter currency. When you place an order to buy the EUR/USD, for instance, you are actually buying the EUR and selling the USD. If you were to sell the pair, you would be selling the EUR and buying the USD. So if you buy or sell a currency PAIR, you are buying/selling the base currency. You are always doing the opposite of what you did with to base currency with the counter currency.

If this seems confusing then you’re in luck. You can always get by with just thinking of the entire pair as one item. Then you are just buying or selling that one item. Thinking like this will still enable you to place trades. You only need to be aware of the base/counter concept for Fundamental Analysis issues.

So why is it important to know about the base/counter currency? The base/counter currency concept illustrates what is actually taking place in a Forex transaction. Some of you reading this, know that short-selling was restricted in the stock market *(Short-selling is where you sell a stock/currency/option/commodity first and then try to buy it back at a lower price later). But in the FOREX you are always buying one currency (base) and selling another (counter). If you sell the pair you are simply flipping which one you buy and which one you sell. The transaction is essentially the same. This allows you to short-sell with no restrictions.

You want to be able to short-sell with no restrictions so you can make money when the market drops as well as when it rises. The problem with traditional stock market trading is that the market has to go up for you to make money. With FOREX trading you can make money in all directions.

Placing a trade in the foreign exchange market is simple. What you need is to open a trading account with a reliable broker. You can start trading almost immediately after the account is up. Beginners are advisable to observe the traders' rules and read more books and articles from experienced traders before getting their hand wet.

Now, we have an bird-eye view of what Forex trading is. Next, we will move on to the introduction of forex market. What you need to prepare before you trade.

Forex Trading
Foreign Currency Exchange (Forex) Trading allows an investor to participate in profitable fluctuations of world currencies. Forex trading works by selecting pairs of currencies and then measuring profit or loss by the fluctuations of one one currency's market activity compared to the other. For example, fluctuations in the value of the $ U.S. Dollar are measured against another world currency such as the £ British Pound, € Eurodollar, ¥ Japanese Yen etc. Being able to discern price trends in market activity is the essence of all profitable trading and this is what makes foreign currencies so exciting, currencies are the world's 'best trending' market. This gives Forex investors a profit making edge that is unavailable in most other markets.Forex Trading is being called 'today's exciting new investment opportunity for the savvy investor'. The reason is that the Forex Trading Market only began to emerge in 1978, when worldwide currencies were allowed to 'float' according to supply and demand, 7 years after the Gold Standard was abandoned. Up until 1995 Forex Trading was only available to banks and large multinational corporations but today, thanks to the proliferation of the computer and a new era of internet-based communication technologies, this highly profitable market is open to everyone. The Forex Trading Market's growth has been unprecedented, explosive, and continues to be unequaled by any other trading market.Unlike traditional trading which brings buyers and sellers together in a central location (trading floors) in Forex Trading there is no need for a centralized location. Forex is a market where worldwide traders conduct business by high-speed Internet connections with the Interbank Foreign Currency Exchange via Forex Clearinghouses (also called Forex Brokerage Firms). Forex has not only become the fastest growing trading market, but also the most profitable trading marketplace in the world.Simply stated, Forex is the most profitable because it is the world's largest marketplace. The Foreign Currency market as a whole accounts for over 1.2 trillion dollars of trading per day (as determined by the fourth Central Bank Survey of Foreign Exchange and Derivatives Market Activity, 1998. This figure is understood to be significantly higher today). To put this into perspective, on any given day the Foreign Currency Exchange Market activity is vastly greater than the Stock Market. It is 75 times greater than the New York Stock Exchange where the average total daily value (using 1998 figures) of both foreign and domestic stocks is $16 billion, and much greater than the daily activity on the London Stock Exchange, with $11 billion.Furthermore, in addition to being the world's largest and most profitable market, The Foreign Currency Exchange Market is the world's most powerful and persistent trading market regardless of negative economic indicators. This is because currencies 'trend' better than every other market due to their macro-economic nature. Unlike many commodities whose supply and demand fundamentals can literally change overnight (as we found in the sudden dot com 'market adjustment' and even more abruptly on September 11, 2001), currency fundamentals are much less random, and far more predictable. This is well illustrated in the way interest rates are changed gradually and only in small increments.Other examples of fundamental predictability are illustrated by the following statistics. Of the $1.2 trillion day trading in Foreign Currency Exchange, 83% of spot foreign exchange activity and 95% of swap activity involves US Dollars. The Euro is the second most active currency at 37%. The Japanese Yen (24%) and the British Pound Sterling (10%) are ranked third and fourth. The Swiss Franc is 7%, and the Canadian and Australian Dollars account for 3%.Spot Forex is the type of forex trade in which self-traders concentrate most of their investment activity for reasons that are self-explanatory. By definition, a Spot Forex transaction is a currency trade transaction that has a settlement (liquidation) within a maximum of 2 working days following the closing of the trade. Therefore Spot Forex allows the self-trader high liquidity. Another popular feature for well-advised Spot Forex self-traders is the strong profit potential from continual market fluctuations by buying a specific currency when it is weaker and selling it when it is stronger, and the continual pairing of strong currencies against weak ones. This potential for profit or loss is amplified by the effect of leverage. Leverage is a term that describes what can be achieved when a smaller amount of money controls a much larger amount of money. With regards to Forex Trading for example, a leverage-factor of 100 can allow the trader to hold a 100,000 US Dollar position with a modest 1,000 US Dollar margin deposit. Online Forex day trading focuses its investment activity largely on Spot Forex because of the 'risk manageability' of in-and-out trading plus the potential to generate excellent and highly liquid profits."Few financial industries generate as much excitement and profit as currency exchange. Traders around the world enter trades for weeks, days or split seconds, generating explosive moves or steady flows, and money changes hands quickly at a staggering daily average of a trillion US dollars. Forex profitability is legendary. George Soros of Quantum Fund realized a profit in excess of 1 billion dollars for a couple of days work in September 1992. Hans Hufschmid of Soloman Brothers, Inc. netted $28 million for 1993. Even by Wall Street standards, these numbers are heartstoppers".*

What is forex trading? Introduction of Forex Currency symbols

Currency traders make profits over the small fluctuations in exchange rates. In the Forex market, you can buy or sell one currency for another. When you buy a currency, you are said to be "long" when you sell a currency, you are said to be "short". For example, in the GBP/USD pair. When you go "long", mean you buy GBP and sell USD, when you go short, you sell GBP and buy USD. As the value of one currency rises or falls relative to another, trader's investments increase or decrease in value accordingly.
The Seven Most Traded Currencies in FOREX

Currencies are traded in dollar amounts called “lots”. One lot is equal to $1,000, which controls $100,000 in currency. This is what is known as the "margin". You can control $100,000 worth of currency for only 1,000 dollars. This is what is called “High Leverage”.

Currencies are always traded in pairs in the FOREX. The pairs have a unique notation that expresses what currencies are being traded. The symbol for a currency pair will always be in the form ABC/DEF. ABC/DEF is not a real currency pair, it is an example of a symbol for a currency pair. In this example ABC is the symbol for one countries currency and DEF is the symbol for another countries currency.

Here are some of the common symbols used in the Forex:

USD - The US Dollar EUR - The currency of the European Union "EURO" GBP - The British Pound JPN - The Japanese Yen CHF - The Swiss Franc AUD - The Australian Dollar CAD - The Canadian Dollar

There are symbols for other currencies as well, but these are the most commonly traded ones.

A currency can never be traded by itself. So you can not ever trade a EUR by itself. You always need to compare one currency with another currency to make a trade possible.

Leonardo Pisano (nickname Fibonacci) was a mathematician, born in 1170, in Pisa (now Italy). His father was Guilielmo, of the Bonacci family. His father was a diplomat, as a result Fibonacci was educated in North Africa, where he learned "accounting" and "mathematics".

Fibonacci also contributed to the science of numbers, and introduced the "Fibonacci sequence"

The Fibonacci sequence is the sequence 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, introduced in his work "Liber abaci" in a problem involving the growth of a population of rabbits.

Aside from this sequence of number where every next number is the sum of the proceeding two, 0, 1 (0+1), 2 (1+1), 3 (2+1), 5 (3+2), 8 (5+3), 13 (8+5), etc.

There are the "Fibonacci ratios".. By comparing the relationship between each number, and each alternate number, and even each number to the one four places to the right, we arrive at some fairly consistent ratios.. The important ones are .236, 50, .382, .618, .764, 1.382, 1.618, 2.618, 4.236, and for good measure we include 1.00 ..

The down move was $29.78 (59.97-30.19), quite a substantial amount.

Projecting from that low in May, and using a Fibonacci ratio, we can calculate 29.78*.382=$11.37 . So 38.2% of 29.78 is 11.37 . If MSFT were to rally 38.2% of the down-move it would reach $41.57 (11.37+30.20). I’m using rounded numbers in my calculations, the chart above calculates it to be $41.564, we don’t need that degree of accuracy!

Several weeks later, MSFT rallied and resisted right near that .382 Fibonacci level !!

So we were able to predict a future probable turning point (after the low of May 2000), using the Fibonacci ratio of .382!! If only it were always so easy.

The steps involved are:

Calculate the total value of a significant price-move (high to low, or vice-versa).
Calculate a Fibonacci retracement (in this case .382) of the prior move.
Look for price to confirm, by resisting (or support in an up-move) near that predicted retracement area.

Fibonacci example - Microsoft Daily chart.
This chart shows how a different Fibonacci level (61.8%) predicted resistance and a market turn.

Notice how the market behaved at the .382 level (30.80 area). Initially the market spiked through, then fell back to that level (late October). We cannot expect a chart to retrace at every Fib level. We can expect some support/resistance as buyers/sellers enter the market at these levels, but we can’t always predict whether the market will actually turn at any particular level. Fibonacci techniques are used to alert you to a possible trade, if that price level does cause support or resistance. These techniques are not used as a trigger for entry. Other indicators are used in conjunction with Fibonacci studies to provide higher-probability entries..
It turns out that the ratios are mathematical principles prevalent in nature around us, and is also in man-made objects. There are many interesting, entertaining, and poetic observations about Fibonacci numbers and ratios in the universe (see the reference section below). Fibonacci numbers appear in ancient buildings, in plants, planets, molecules, the dimensions of human bodies, and of course snails… But of what use is all that to the lowly trader?

What really interests you, the application of Fibonacci techniques in the trading environment..

Traders usually study charts! Fibonacci ratios may be applied to the Price scale, and also to the time scale of charts. I study the price scale. My focus here will be on the price scale for now, perhaps in the future I’ll add some time-scale studies.

Prices never move in a straight line. Look at any chart, you will see many wiggles, as price advances and retraces.. Stocks, Futures, Forex, all instruments which are liquid, will often retrace in Fibonacci proportions, and advance in Fibonacci proportions. Not always, and not precisely to the penny. But very often, and reasonably close! This happens often enough that profitable trades can result. I will show you some examples below.

I used Fibonacci ratios with a few simple indicators to help determine probable price turning points, optimum entry, exit and stop-loss levels. My complete techniques are available in on-line video seminars, in-person seminars, and via my real-time on-line chat facility. For more details, see the this web page

The application of Fibonacci to trading can be very complex, and take much time and experience to perfect. Many traders enjoy making the process as difficult and as complex as they can tolerate.. I do the opposite, I try to simplify, try to bring clarity.

Fibonacci example - Microsoft Weekly chart.
This lesson demonstrates a very basic way to use Fibonacci levels. You just read about Fibonacci ratios. We will use just one of those ratios for now, the .382 Fibonacci ratio. In this chart MSFT made a high of (approximately) $59.97 in December of 1999. After that, it moved down to make a low of $30.19 in May of 2000.

Foreign Exchange Market
The foreign exchange (currency or FX) market is where currency trading takes place. FX transactions typically involve one party purchasing a quantity of one currency in exchange for paying a quantity of another. The foreign exchange market that we see today started evolving during the 1970s when worldover countries gradually switched to floating exchange rate from their erstwhile exchange rate regime, which remained fixed as per the Bretton Woods system till 1971.Today, the FX market is one of the largest and most liquid financial markets in the world, and includes trading between large banks, central banks, currency speculators, corporations, governments, and other institutions. The average daily volume in the global foreign exchange and related markets is continuously growing. Traditional daily turnover was reported to be over US$3.2 trillion in April 2007 by the Bank for International Settlements.[1] Since then, the market has continued to grow. According to Euromoney's annual FX Poll, volumes grew a further 41% between 2007 and 2008.[2]The purpose of FX market is to facilitate trade and investment. The need for a foreign exchange market arises because of the presence of multifarious international currencies such as US Dollar, Pound Sterling, etc., and the need for trading in such currencies.

As mentioned before, there are several Fib levels, .236, 50, .382, .618, .764, 1.382, 1.618, 2.618, 4.236, and 1.00 .. So there are several places to look for a market turn. They can be calculated in advance, but trading blindly at a fib level can be dangerous, because you never know for certain (in advance) whether the market will turn at any particular Fib level. I use other indicators to help overcome that problem, click here to learn how to determine which Fib ratio is likely to be strong enough to turn the market.

Important notes from this lesson:

There are several Fib levels.
It takes some skill to determine which Fib level is likely to cause the market to turn.
There are some techniques to help you determine where a market is more likely to turn.
Do not blindly anticipate a market turn at a Fib level.

When you said long for EUR/USD currency pair mean you are buying the EUR and selling the USD. In the event, the exchange rate goes up let say from 1.5720 to 1.5760, this trade becomes profitable, unfortunately, if the exchange rate goes down, this trade becomes a losing one.

On the other hand, if you said short to the currency pair EUR/USD, you are selling the EUR currency and buying the USD. Let say the exchange rate from 1.5720 to 1.5700 this trade becomes profitable. If the rate goes up, this becomes a losing one.

At all time, we are focused on whether a certain currency pair will go up or down, If we anticipate that the currency will go up, we conduct a long trade ( Buy ), if our anticipation tells us that it is likely to be go down, we conduct a short trade ( Sell ).

Forex for Dummies
Forex for DummiesForex BasicsIf you've already read the "What is Forex?" section then you should know what Forex market is and what it is all about. If not, please, do it. There are five essential aspects of foreign currency market a beginner trader (and an old one as well) should be aware of:Forex Fundamental Analysis Forex Technical Analysis Money Management Forex Trading Psychology Forex Brokerage Understanding and mastering these sides of trading are crucial to organize your Forex trading experience.Forex Fundamental AnalysisFundamental analysis is the process of market analysis which is done regarding only "real" events and macroeconomic data which is related to the traded currencies. Fundamental analysis is used not only in Forex but can be a part of any financial planning or forecasting. Concepts that are part of Forex fundamental analysis: overnight interest rates, central banks meetings and decisions, any macroeconomic news, global industrial, economical, political and weather news. Fundamental analysis is the most natural way of making Forex market forecasts. In theory, it alone should work perfectly, but in practice it is often used in pair with technical analysis. Recommended e-books on Forex fundamental analysis:Reminiscences of a Stock Operator What Moves the Currency Market?Forex Technical AnalysisTechnical analysis is the process of market analysis that relies only on market data numbers - quotes, charts, simple and complex indicators, volume of supply and demand, past market data, etc. The main idea behind Forex technical analysis is the postulate of functional dependence of the future market technical data on the past market technical data. As well as with fundamental analysis, technical analysis is believed to be self-sufficient and you can use only it to successfully trade Forex. In practice, both analysis methods are used. Recommended e-books on Forex fundamental analysis are:The Law Of Charts Candlesticks For Support And Resistance Trend DeterminationMoney Management in ForexEven if you master every possible method of market analysis and will make very accurate predictions for future Forex market behavior, you won't make any money without a proper money management strategy. Money management in Forex (as well as in other financial markets) is a complex set of rules which you develop to fit your own trading style and amount of money you have for trading. Money management play very important role in getting profits out of Forex; do not underestimate it. To get more information on money management you can read these books:Risk Control and Money Management Money Management (A chapter from The Mathematics of Gambling)Forex Trading PsychologyWhile learning a lot about market analysis and money management is an obvious and necessary step to be a successful Forex traders, you also need to master your emotions to keep your trading performance under strict control of mind and intuition. Controlling your emotions in Forex trading is often a balancing between greed and cautiousness. Almost any known psychology practices and techniques can work for Forex traders to help them keep to their trading strategies rather to their spontaneous emotions. Problems you'll have to deal while being a professional Forex trader:Your greed Overtrading Lack of discipline Lack of confidence Blind following others' forecasts These are very professional books on psychology written specially for financial traders:Calming The Mind So That Body Can Perform Emotion Free Trading The Miracle of DisciplineForex BrokerageEvery Forex trader like any other professional needs tools to trade. One of these tools, which is vital to be in market, is a Forex broker and specifically for Internet - on-line Forex broker - a company which will provide real-time market information to trader and bring his orders to Forex market. While choosing a right Forex broker things to look for are the following:Being a professional company you can trust Provide you with real-time quotes Execute your orders fast and accurately Don't take a lot of commissions Support the withdraw/deposit methods that you can use For beginning Forex traders I recommend these four brokerage companies that are probably the best Forex brokers to start with:FXOpen — one of the most popular and progressive brokers with MetaTrader platform and comfortable trading conditions for all kind of traders.

LiteForex — broker that supports MetaTrader 4 Forex trading platform and doesn't require a lot of money to start with.

Australia, New Zealand to Lower Rates
I won't lie; the Forex Blog is admittedly Dollar-centric, in that developments in forex markets are usually assessed relative to their projected impact on the US Dollar. Sometimes, we forget that their are other currency pairs that move irrespective of the Dollar. Take the Australian Dollar and New Zealand Kiwi, for example. As both currencies are backed by high interest rates, they have benefited equally from the carry trade and as a result, they behave quite similarly. Combined with the fact that they are practically neighbors, it's easy to forget that there are unique circumstances that weigh separately on them.Over the next 12 months, both countries' Central Banks are expected to significantly lower their benchmark interest rates as a result of slowing economic growth. However, as New Zealand does not have a large stock of natural resources to depend on in times of economic turmoil, it is projected to lower rates quite sharply, compared to Australia. Accordingly, the Australian Dollar may represent a buying opportunity against the Kiwi in the near-term. Bloomberg News reports:New Zealand's dollar is likely to fall 8.7 percent to NZ$1.33 versus Australia's by year-end as the nation's economic slowdown accelerates, boosting prospects the RBNZ will lower borrowing costs...according to RBC Capital Markets.

created this page to share my story of how I lost my house, had to file for bankruptcy, and almost lost my entire life savings before I was able to turn it all around. I had so many of my friends and friends of friends asking me how on earth I was able to pull out of such a horrible situation, and then end up retired only 6 months later.I Made 6k On My FIRST Try...It all started back when I was a trader in the days when the market was at its best. (Up to Sept 11th.) I had sold my business and every one I knew was making a ton of money in the stock market. So I put my life savings into the market and turned 200k into about 10k in 6 short months. I lost my house and had to declare bankruptcy. I had always worked for myself before this, but now I had to get a job just to pay the bills. Luckily my wife stuck with me through all of this.After that I had found a decent job in the Denver area, and lived in a fairly nice part of town. I never really got used to having to work for someone else, but in the position I was in I felt like I had no option. I had virtually no money left for my retirement, and it was beginning to dawn on me that I very well might end up working for the rest of my life.Thats when I stumbled across an ad online for a program called Forex Secrets. The program seemed like everything I wish I had years ago, but I was still very skeptical of course. I have paid over 5k for a weekend course before that I took while I was going broke. But I ordered it anyway just to take a look, although I honestly expected to be shipping it back in a week or two.Right off the bat I loved how the system was not just trying to tell me what to trade and when to get in and get out. No, instead it taught me how to actually read the markets, and what to do in various demanding situations. It reminds me of a saying by Tony Robbins, ”John the baker took 20 years to perfect his chocolate cake recipe. But how long will it take you to learn to make the cake if John is willing to teach you?” This system has turned out to be my “John the baker”.I am happy to say that 6 months after beginning Forex Secrets, I left my job and am devoting myself to trading in the Forex as my “full-time” job. Since leaving work in January, I have consistently made more money trading than I would have made working for someone else.I’m excited to report that I am having a very good week this week. Currently I am monitoring and managing some trades that I have had on for 9 days now, and will make a profit of $702,102.00 from these trades alone.This program has totally given me my freedom back, and allowed me to retire just when I thought id be working for the rest of my life. That is why I have written this page. I am deeply indebted to Forex Secrets and I really appreciate the level completeness and quality of the program. You can get more information about the Forex Secrets at

Forex trading Strageticies
By far regarded as the largest and the busiest market, the Forex market has tremendous profit potential. The Forex currency market is a lot different from the stock market and you need to have a very good understanding about the way this market functions. Its not surprising that there's a lot being said and written about Forex currency trading. In fact, those who are keen on mastering Forex trading skills can actually take up a Forex trading course and get formal Forex education. Before you set out to trade in the Forex market or the Foreign Currency Exchange Market, you must make sure that you have done plenty of research, studied historical trends, analyzed existing trends, and worked out profitable Forex trading strategies that can boost your Forex trade.There is no standard strategy that can be safely applied when it comes to Forex currency trading. Basically, what may work for one may not necessarily fit your trading needs and you must therefore devise your own strategies that can guarantee success in the long run. You need to first analyze the market using a technical analysis approach or the fundamental analysis approach to plan your moves. While technical analysis refers to forecasting future movement based on past performance, fundamental analysis refers to studying current accounts and impact of imports and exports on currency flow.Understanding how volatile this market is, every experienced trader understands that it is not practically possible to generate profits from every trade. However, as you study this market closely, you will be able to work out better strategies that can minimize your risk levels.Use surplus money for tradingThis market is speculative and "timing a trade' is crucial. Even a slightest mistake can cost you a lot of money. So, make sure that you use only surplus money in order to save yourself from financial wreck. One of the biggest mistakes many traders do is staking all their money in a single trade. If you are not sure, go for margin trading to enjoy more leverage.Do some market researchConsult your financial advisor or a Forex broker who can tell you the exact status of the Forex market. You need to understand whether current trend is upwards or downwards, is it strong or weak, and how long has this trend been going on or is a new trend in the making. A trade without prior market research can lead to financial disasters.Decide the time frame for tradingAs a smart Forex trader, you must have a time frame in mind beyond which you wont like to trade and also decide an approximate exit price. This gives you a proper perspective and helps you to plan your Forex trade more efficiently. You need to therefore decide whether you would like to go for long term trading or intra-day trading. This will help you to determine which approach you must adopt for research and analysis. For instance, for someone trading several times a day, a daily graph analysis will be useless and the trader will require thirty minute or hour graphs to plan his exit. Another important factor that you need to take into account is the time periods when different financial companies enter and exit the foreign exchange market in order to study the market trends.Choosing the right time to trade Timing is everything when it comes to Forex trading and once you have understood the market trends you need to immediately plan an entry. Rely on technical analysis to time your move and predict market movements.If you are not sure about which Forex trading strategy to use, find a good Forex broker who can handle your financial portfolio for you

When it comes to implementing a forex trading strategy, don't expect that what may have worked for someone may work for you as well. Find one that fits your Forex investment style and needs. To begin with, you may require Forex trading software if you are planning to trade Forex. A good software program is typically required to compile information about market prices and you may choose between a web based or a client based Forex trading software.In order to make good trades in a high paced market such as Forex, you must also have a high-speed Internet connection so that you have the right information at your fingertips. You need to understand what your software program can do for you so that you can make the right choice. If you are planning to download client based software, in most cases it can only be accessed from the computer on which it is installed. Besides, this may cause security concerns that you cannot afford to overlook. On the other hand, web based software is far more convenient and can be accessed from any computer. All you need to do is login with an Internet connection from anywhere and start trading. In addition, this type of software is less susceptible to viruses and not very easy to hack due to the stringent security standards being implemented. No matter what software you choose to use for your Forex trading needs, you must ensure that the software satisfies two main purposes; providing real time quotes and the means to trade quickly in the Forex market. While the web based software is more user-friendly, many prefer the client based one, as it updates you about the changes that take place so often.For security reasons, brokers store client information on two servers at two different locations and in case of power failure at one of the servers; data is instantly and automatically transferred to the other server. As a result, you get a steady supply of information without even realizing that there was any form of interruption in data transmission. Besides, brokers also have a back up system so that data is not lost under any circumstances.Now that you have all the necessary information regarding Forex trading software, all you need to do is have a proper Forex trading system in place and prepare yourself for online trading.

Successful Forex Trading Operation
Take your time to read these few lines, as I am going to provide you with some essential forex trading info.First thing you should know is that the forex market is very profitable, because you can make money every time it moves, and believe me, it never stops moving.However, as any other trading operation, forex trading will involve a risk, so you need to make sure that you reduce it as much as you can. To do this you need to find reliable forex trading info focused precisely on showing you ways to ensure a high performance within the market.But what forex trading info should you look for in order to achieve that goal?Well, simply look for forex trading info about educational products and other forex trading tools designed to put you on the right track..I cannot tell you enough how important this is, because when I first started with forex trading I decided to read a little bit here and there, and settled for some forex trading info provided by friends already in the market, I thought I was invincible.As it turns out, I did not do so well. Thankfully I did not lose much money and I managed to make a profit, but not nearly as much as what my friends were making.That obviously meant that I was doing something wrong, so to turn things around and start making it right, I knew I had to go out and find reliable forex trading info about educational products or forex trading tools that would allow me to enhance my performance fast.I knew that would not come without a cost, but before I payed a dime to anyone I did some insane research, and I found several places dedicated to providing forex trading info. Most of the websites I found where not very insightful, and some of them were too sale oriented. However, I kept gathering information and getting an idea of which way to go.After visiting tons forex trading info sites, I concluded that you can improve your forex trading performance in basically three ways:1) By taking a forex trading course, which involves purchasing a good and easy to swallow e-book about forex.2) By getting a forex trading assistant, which involves purchasing a good software or system designed to provide you with reliable signals to enter and exit the forex market at the right time for a profit.3) By getting an automated forex trading system, which involves purchasing a good software designed to place trades and close them automatically for a profit.When confronted with these alternatives, I simply did not know where to start because you see, to me any of these options were good choices.Indeed, you can never go wrong with the first option, because knowledge is always a good thing, but if you can not -or do not want to- put the right amount of effort into the learning process, you can end up losing money instead of making a profit.The second option sounded even better to me because I would not have to make much decisions, since I simply would be pointed out the right moment to place my orders and close them for profits. However I would have to be attentive of the market movements during the day.Being lazy as a I am, I decided to start by taking the third option, because with this one I would not need to dedicate a lot of time in order to profit from the market (although after a few months with automated trading I decided to invest in a forex trading course too). Indeed, the automated forex trading system did all the work, including placing and closing the trade orders, and up so far with over 90% success rate.So as you can see, I ultimately improved my performance as I wanted, but not before I did my homework searching for good forex trading info.As I told you before, forex trading is a very profitable business, but you need to understand that you rely on market movements to make money, so if you are not in the right place at the right time, you could miss a lot of profitable entry points. By having the right tool you will never have to go through that.So before you put a dime on forex trading, start by getting some good forex trading info about educational products and forex tools that will allow you to become a successful trader from the very start. Avoid wasting time and money like I did and make money from day one.

Solid Forex Trading System
Said to be one of the largest exchange markets, the Forex market is gaining immense popularity. The possibility of earning large profits adds to the appeal. Although trading in this market is not easy, it can be, provided you find a proven and profitable Forex trading system.Even a planned investment can often take a wrong turn. The investor has a bad day even after planning his actions. Nevertheless, this is of little concern to the Forex trader. Every trader in the Forex market knows that to keep the losses to a minimum the trader will have to follow their forex trading strategy and use proper money management. In this way, he will learn to survive the volatile investment market and make profitable trades in the long term.The Forex market allows traders to conduct their transactions in a rather emotionless manner. This is because the pre-determined guidelines that form a forex trading system can make it easier for traders. Executing actions is now easy as there are fixed price levels of initial stop loss and trailing loss. Apart from this, there already exists a computed price profit, which is projected in the traders interests. This computation allows the trader to know what his level of loss or profit is and even the risk to reward ratio before he even begins to trade for the day.Using the proper forex trading system, the trader plans his trade and makes a profit with the right moves. But on the other hand, if the trader makes a wrong move and is more likely to make a loss than a profit, the Forex trading system will show the trader that he is making a wrong move. In this way the trader is able to move out of the situation quickly and the huge losses he would have otherwise incurred is no more a worry. Trading in this way protect the trader from large losses and helps lock in higher profits for winning trades.There are many types of forex traders from position traders to swing traders to day traders. Forex traders who buy and sell their currencies or open and close their markets on the very same day are considered day traders. There are many traders who believe that the day trading system is not worthwhile and do not give it much importance, but with the right forex trading strategy, day trading can be very profitable. When researching a forex trading strategy, what you need to do is review it by finding out the reactions of other Forex traders. You can ask any existing Forex traders about their trading experience and how they like their trading system and if they consider it to be a profitable one. Trading forums are another way of receiving reviews about Forex trading systems. As there are a number of forums, you will have no difficulty in getting the information you require. However, many professionals feel that day trading is quite profitable though it is not the easiest way to trade. If this wasnt a profitable method of investing then how does one explain the large number of day traders who earn their income solely from this source? Therefore, if you wish to be part of any system that relates to day trading then it is necessary that you have sufficient knowledge about many Forex trading systems and strategies.Many sites let you in on the Dos and Donts of Forex trading. There are no secrets but there are things you do need to be aware of. These sites provide you information on Forex trading strategies, forex trading techniques and all other information that you may be in need of. You can also find a number of helpful forex trading tools, information and techniques are made available to make Forex trading easier for the trader.

In this Forex guide we will review some steps you need to take care before you venture into your trading journey. Most traders venture into the Forex market with little or no experience in the Forex market. This results in painful experiences like loosing most of the risk capital, frustration because it seemed so easy to make money, etc.

The first thing you need to realize is that, it is not easy to make money. As every other endeavor in life, where important rewards are to come after mastering it, you need to work hard. You need to get very well educated and experienced before having the possibility to receive important rewards on it. The key on mastering the Forex market relies on commitment, patience and discipline.

Ok, you have decided you are going to trade the Forex market, you have seen several advertisings featuring how easy is to make money in the Forex market. You might think this is your opportunity to reach your financial freedom, right away, time is money, why waiting any longer if you have the opportunity to make money now. I know, I’ve been there, but you have a chance now, I didn’t, no body told me what I am going to tell you.

We, Forex traders, make transactions based on a set of rules. These sets of rules are what we call a Trading System. Our systems tell us the exact time where we need to get in the market and out the market in order to make a profit (i.e. buy low sell high.)

Creating a system is the first big step you need to take care first. Why is this so important? Because you need to build a system that suits your personality, otherwise you are going to find hard to follow it, thus hard to profit from. A system can be based on technical indicators or what we called a mechanical system or based on experience and intuition or what we call discretionary systems. I highly recommend using and trying first a mechanical system, because discretionary systems are dangerous during the early stages of a Forex trader (can lead to indiscipline.) With experience, on later stages, you will find out which signals work better and which ones to avoid.

The next step in this Forex guide is to try your system on a demo account. Most Forex brokers offer a demo account, an account with virtual money. This is an excellent choice to test your trading system as there is no money at risk. In this step you will figure out if the strategy works for you. If you feel comfortable trading it, then it is most likely to produce good results. How much time should you stay in this step? It varies, but you shouldn’t go one step further until your system gets consistent profitable results over a period of time. It can take many months, but remember, you need to be patient.

You must be honest to yourself; you need to take every single signal generated by your system, not only the signals you thought were going to work, otherwise, you are going to have problems in the next two steps.

Ok, by know you had consistent profitable results on your demo account. You might think its time to go full. Nope, nope, nope. There is a big difference between trading a demo and a real account. The most important difference lies on emotions (fear, greed, anger, etc.) These are psychological barriers that affect every single decision made by traders regardless of what he/she is trading (stocks, bonds, Forex, futures, grains, etc.) These emotional factors, in my opinion, are the most determinant factor that separates profitable traders from the others.

The next step in this Forex guide is specially designed to deal with emotions and to confirm the results obtained in the prior step (consistent results in a demo account.) At this step you need to trade in a real account with limited funds. Some brokers offer fractional lot trading. Meaning you are able to trade any desired amount (even cents.) The important thing here is that these emotions we’ve been talking about are present only when there is real money at risk. At this stage, you are going to see if you are really comfortable trading your system and if you are able to trade with such system, remember different systems produce different emotions. If you are able to produce similar results than those obtained in a demo account, then ready for the next step. If you didn’t, then you might need to create another system, there is chance your system never fit you. If you created consistent profitable results on this stage, you have a chance to produce similar results in the next one, on the other hand, if you didn’t produce good results in this stage, you will not be able to make on the next stage. Remember, you need to do things right, and be honest to yourself.

The last stage is trading in a real account with sufficient funds. If you are at this stage, and have passed successfully every prior stage, then you have a chance to make it, go ahead and try it, you need to be confident in yourself and in your system, your strategy have already produced consistent profitable results, there are reasons to believe you are going to make it. Very few traders fail at this stage (if passed successfully prior stages.)

Trading successfully is no easy task, it requires a lot of work, patience, discipline, and education. By completing the steps outlined in this Forex course, you have a chance to produce profitable results. I repeat it again, you need to be honest to yourself about the results obtained in every stage. Some times you might need expert guidance regarding your system development strategies.

Speaking of dollars
have been thinking about this whole economic mess lately and something interesting occured to me.Before this huge hole in the economy happened, we were exporting a record amount of dollars. Oil prices were at an all time high and money was flowing out of the country in huge waves. Not to mention all those chinese products at walmart.Does anyone wonder if perhaps we just exported so much money that it created this void which the goverment is now madly trying to fill?This mess has been attributted to a credit freeze. While it’s obvious that America has been living on too much credit, it’s hard to believe that the economy can reverse course so hard on credit alone.This is all just food for thought. Right now, the government is trying to ride in and convince us all that we absolutely must spend all this money to save the system. Not to mention, they want us to go for that, without really questioning how it happened in the first place.What do you think is the real cause of this mess? Any suggestions on the solution? We know what solution we are getting, but is it the right one?

US Stimulus Package Passes
The stimulus package passed in the US this past week. The markets don’t seem to be breathing the sigh of relief that was expected.The stimulus package is only like a shot in the arm for the US economy. While the shot will help, it doesn’t solve the problems that created the illness.It’s time to address the “irrational exuberance” that brought on this current credit mess. The government has it right by focusing on jobs and infrastructure, but this is the third swing in a series of billion dollar swings.The first swing was the infamous “stimulus checks”, which turned out to be a total waste of money and useless extension of debt. The second swing was over 700 billion dollars aimed at shoring up banks, yet banks are failing left and right.
Bank of Canada Pushes Rates Towards Zero
The Bank of Canada lowered interest rates on the Canadian dollar by 50 basis points for January. The Canadian interest rate now stands at a very low 1 percent. This is the lowest level for interest rates in Canada since 1934.Canada has been experiencing a lot of trouble with exports and general economic conditions in the country deteriorating. I have no doubt that within two months they will have an interest rate of 25 basis points or lower. Interest rates hitting zero is just a reality now for countries around the globe. The rabbit hole goes so deep, that no one really knows where it ends. Central banks are just reacting during each meeting with a look at trends and facing the reality that they don’t know where the end of the line is.Numerous politicians in the US have said this is a crisis on confidence, and while most of us might laugh at that, it is true to an extent. I wouldn’t say that we are in a “mental recession”, however, how it this has been approached has a lot to do with the spreading crisis. As businesses and people get nervous and stop spending, the cycle just starts over. Governments are paranoid because there really isn’t a way to communicate with people without committing political suicide.Most of the governments around the world have been slow to react as the global economy turned down, and they have reacted rashly and without enough thought when they finally did act.The world is to the point where the officials that are responsible for economic policy have to stop playing shell games. They need to just admit that there are problems with the system and that some real purging must be done. It is inevitable. The truth is that all these central banks should have done 3 or 4 percent rate cuts a few months ago, and given the system a real shock that was fast and hard instead of waiting to see how bad the damage was going to be. Generally, I don’t support actions like that, I think it is smarter to be more cautious. However, we are facing the implosion of some very dangerous games that have taken place throughout the global economy. It is all interconnected more than ever, so everyone is affected. It’s not that anything like this has never happened before, it’s just that this is the biggest.The global reality is interest rates have to be at almost zero before any type of recovery is going to be seen. Interest rates are not the only key, but they are an important part of the equation.

Trading the forex Market Through a expart Advisor
You would think the Forex market isnt for everyone. As the largest market of the world, with a value of over 2 trillion dollars it seems a big man game only. However, even students and housewives can trade the forex market through a expert advisor.Also known in the business world as EA, the forex expert advisor is an automated system software built by experts on the field of currency trading who have had the experience inside and out. From the name itself, individuals who make use of the EA are given the option to choose their trade parameters and are advised by the system which part of the trade would be beneficial and which could potentially make you lose your money.The tricks and expertise of the programmer, his strategies are embedded on the software. Since the trading itself is automatically executed by the system, it saves an individual a great deal from emotional stress and the physical strains of trading. After setting the needed parameters, you can minimize your acting on impulse and instinct, working mathematically. Although both impulse and instinct will allways remain factors.These forex expert advisor systems run on Meta Trade 4 platform which protects the individual with a highly developed security, interfaces that a user can customize and set the parameters with, flexibility, multilingual support and historical data. The last part refers to a previous success in the trading industry, that once the system detects the same winning condition, can send you an advice and make the trade.However, some may view the use of robots and forex expert advisors as ineffective. Since the foreign exchange is a fast moving market, the first reason why people doubt it is due to inability to point out new circumstances which arise from a combination of different elements. A new development in the market, which the program is not acquainted or programmed with, may throw off the system from considering other options and alternatives. This goes completely in contrast with the flexibility offered by the Meta Trade 4 platform. Another closely related to this are news releases. Changes in government policies, economy fluctuation and other such factors significantly affect the foreign currency trading market.Since these are conflicting advantages and disadvantages, individuals who wish to succeed in the business of trading should be careful and indentify the ratings objectively. Although the forex expert advisors may seem to do everything for you and help increase those dollar signs, a sound decision should come directly from you. If others deem that there are disadvantages against using these systems, then negate them by doing the actions yourself. Make sure the program you do buy is reviewed and has a good name in the field. Then, you can start experiencing the forex trad

Forigen Exchange market
The foreign exchange (currency or FX) market is where currency trading takes place. FX transactions typically involve one party purchasing a quantity of one currency in exchange for paying a quantity of another. The foreign exchange market that we see today started evolving during the 1970s when worldover countries gradually switched to floating exchange rate from their erstwhile exchange rate regime, which remained fixed as per the Bretton Woods system till 1971.Today, the FX market is one of the largest and most liquid financial markets in the world, and includes trading between large banks, central banks, currency speculators, corporations, governments, and other institutions. The average daily volume in the global foreign exchange and related markets is continuously growing. Traditional daily turnover was reported to be over US$3.2 trillion in April 2007 by the Bank for International Settlements.[1] Since then, the market has continued to grow. According to Euromoney's annual FX Poll, volumes grew a further 41% between 2007 and 2008.[2]The purpose of FX market is to facilitate trade and investment. The need for a foreign exchange market arises because of the presence of multifarious international currencies such as US Dollar, Pound Sterling, etc., and the need for trading in such currencies.

Advantages of Forex Trading

Some traders prefer the monthly, weekly or daily trade forex strategy. Others consider that the best forex strategy is the intraday trading, and probably none of them is the absolute best.

In reality, there can be profits in any forex strategy as long as you are well aware of the market movers and signals at any given time, and you have a clear understanding of all the elements that support your forex strategy.

Some traders base their forex strategy in long term investments (monthly or weekly positions), while others will build their forex strategy around daily or intradaily positions that might be open no longer than a few hours or even minutes (this traders are known as scalpers).

A long term forex strategy will probably earn you 100 or 200 pips in one trade, but that is probably all you will gain within a month or a week if your forex strategy gravitates around monthly or weekly positions, But on the other hand, a well carried scalping forex strategy can deliver many little 10 or 20 pip trades during a day, meaning that maybe you can total anything between 80 to 160 pips in one day using this forex strategy.

The intraday forex strategy benefits from the fact that the forex market, whether moving up or down within any particular currency pair, will always make small fluctuations that you can profit from using an intraday forex strategy.

Which forex strategy is best for you will depend greatly on your personal investment and risk management style, and also on how much time you can dedicate during the day in order to follow the market trends and spot the right entry points for a profitable trade.

I prefer the intraday forex strategy because of its profitability and because frankly I have some time to spare, but mostly because I have the assistance of a software I discovered a while ago, which places trades by itself based on the market trends occurring both during the day an during the night.

So even when if am not in front of my pc, I can go on trading all day and all night, profiting from of every little window of opportunity to scalp a few pips out of the market. With this approach, my intraday forex strategy delivers about 120 pips daily, which in my particular case means I earn about $3,000 per month with a 5,000 investment.

So the intraday forex strategy can indeed be the most profitable one, but it will demand that you stay very attentive at what is going on within the market on a minute by minute basis, unless of course you have a software that stays on guard while you are busy with your job or anything else that might keep you from continuously analyzing the market trends.

If you are wondering about the software I use to help me with my intraday forex strategy, I will only tell you that it does work and that its called the FAPS.

Foreign exchange trading involves buying and selling different currencies. It works on the theory that is similar with share market. As we know that to make the profit, you have to buy at lower price and sell at higher price, or we can also sell at higher price first and buy at lower price. But its not as easy as it sounds. By studying certain market conditions, you can actually make profits in forex. All you have to do is to analyze the forex in a correct way and do the good trade.Why to go for Foreign exchange trading? There is an option to invest in stock market also but here are a few important advantages of currency trading over stock market.24-hour TradingForex trading is done on 24-hours basis. This market is open throughout day and night as somewhere in the world, there must be this buy and sell trading is going on. Traders involved in forex trading strategy can always get that first hand information and can act accordingly. The currency rate is actually run through telecommunication all over the network of banks 24 hours a day from 00:00 GMT on Monday to 10:00 pm GMT on Friday. There are ECNs (Electronic Communication Networks) which bring together buyers and sellers.Greater LiquidityThere is a superior liquidity in the market as there are always buyers and sellers to purchase and sell foreign currencies. Forex trading market size is 50 times bigger than the New York Stock Exchange and liquidity of such large market ensures price stability. Forex trading stop orders could be carried out more simply. This makes Forex trading signal more liquid and permits Forex traders to take benefit of trading opportunities as they happen rather than waiting for the market to open the next day.100:1 High Leverage in forex trading100 to 1 leverage is commonly available from online forex dealers, which substantially exceeds the common 2:1 margin offered by equity brokers. This gives them a huge leverage in their trading and presents the potential for extraordinary profits with relative small investments. Leverage can also go the opposite way and may lead to huge losses if you are not careful.Forex trading transactions have no commissions. Forex Brokers can earn money by fixing their own speculation between what a currency could be bought at and what it could be sold at. In difference, Forex traders have to pay a commission fee or brokerage fee for every futures transaction they come in to the view. The forex market is so large that no one individual, bank, fund or government body can influence it for a long period of time. In forex trading strategy, you can trade between seven currencies but not everyone trade in all.There are certain trading signals that give indications to the trade. These forex signals are delivered by email, instant messenger or direct to your desktop. Some services even offer auto-trading, allowing you to auto-execute their trading signals direct into your broker account.

Investors Return to Emerging Markets

2009-03-11T10:21:00.001-07:00

In the last few weeks, investors have waded cautiously back into emerging markets. Spurred in part by the Obama economic stimulus plan and pending US investment in Citigroup, investors have evidently been persuaded to take on more risk. The Japanese Yen, accordingly, has already begun to beat a retreat from the highs it reached earlier this year. If this trend continues, the US Dollar could become the next “victim.” On the other side of the equation are currencies such as the South African Rand, which have benefited from a renewed interest in yield, as well as increased monetary stability driven by lower inflation. Ultimately, this movement of capital can just as easily reverse itself, which it no doubt will at the next economic hiccup. Bloomberg News reports:“There is a little more risk appetite,” said..an analyst. “The rand is being driven by offshore sentiment.”

Asia Forms Forex Pool

2009-03-11T10:20:00.000-07:00

After nearly six months of currency depreciation, the nations of Asia have finally been spurred to action. Japan, China, and South Korea have joined together with the 10 ASEAN economies to form a $120 Billion pool of foreign exchange reserves, which contributors can tap into to protect their currencies. The goal is to prevent capital flight and currency weakness from engendering the same kind of financial crisis that only 10 years ago ravaged Asia. Fortunately, this time around, the 13 countries possess a combined $3.6 Trillion in reserves, which can be deployed in forex and securities markets in order to restore investor confidence. Ironically, the bulk of these reserves belong to China and Japan (who are also funding a large portion of the forex pool), both of whose currencies remain strong in spite of the crisis. Bloomberg News reports:The fund is aimed at ensuring central banks have enough to shield their currencies from speculative attacks such as those that depleted the reserves of Indonesia, Thailand and South Korea during the 1997-1998 financial crisis.

Forex is a Zero-Sum Game

2009-03-11T10:19:00.000-07:00

I recently stumbled across an article that argued that forex trading is not a zero-sum game. The author is (unwittingly) correct in his conclusion, although not in his reasoning that it is possible for a trade to produce two winners. The conclusion verged on truth only because after accounting for broker commissions (i.e. the bid/ask spread), forex trading is actually a negative-sum game. It is important to recognize that the nature of forex is such that all currencies cannot simultaneously appreciate, and hence, every trade involves a winning party and a losing party. Even if all parties manage to break even over the long run, the existence of spreads and commissions ensures a long-term average return that is negative. This does not mean that it is impossible to to profit in forex, but rather that the profits of the winners are underwritten by the losers. While one cannot expect to always occupy the winning side, there are steps that can be taken to minimize being on the losing side. Admittedly this is vague; the idea here is simply that it’s vitally important to be well-informed when investing in forex so as to enter and exit trades only at levels that are “fundamentally” sound.

Will Mexican Peso Crisis of 1994 repeat itself? (Forex Trading)

2009-03-11T10:18:00.001-07:00

Having risen to a six-year high against the Dollar in late 2008, the Mexican Peso seemed to have firmly distanced itself from the devastating financial and economic crisis suffered in the early 1990’s. However, all of the factors that were blamed for the earlier crisis have since re-emerged, leading some analysts to question whether a repeat is possible. According to a report published by the Atlanta Fed shortly after the 1994 crisis:The main fly in the ointment was Mexico’s current account deficit, which ballooned from $6 billion in 1989 to $15 billion in 1991 and to more than $20 billion in 1992 and 1993. To some extent, the current account deficit was a favorable development, reflecting the capital inflow stimulated by Mexican policy reforms. However, the large size of the deficit led some observers to worry that the peso was becoming overvalued, a circumstance that could discourage exports, stimulate imports, and lead eventually to a crisis.Sound familiar? A future (hypothetical) report that follows the looming currency crisis will likely point to a similar inflow of speculative capital and a surging current account deficit, which has reached the highest level since 2000. Given that “the size of the deficit may more than double this year as industrial production, foreign direct investment and money transfers from abroad continue to fall,” the likelihood of peso devaluation is rising, regardless of how low the currency has already fallen. On the one hand, Mexico’s response to the weakened Peso is promising. With the blessing of the US (which played a prominent role in the 1994 crisis), the Central Bank of Mexico has injected Billions of Dollars directly into the forex market, so as to keep up the facade that everything is under control. At the same time, it hasn’t lowered interest rates nearly to the extent of some of its peers, in order to guard against inflation and appeal to investors with comparatively attractive yields. Unfortunately, there are a couple reasons why both prongs of this strategy will backfire. On the monetary policy side of the equation, investors would actually prefer steeper interest rate cuts. The carry trade is functionally dead, and investors are now primarily concerned with the risk of deflation, which only becomes more likely as a result of higher interest rates. In other words, the consensus is that the Central Bank should stop griping about inflation, and focus instead on stimulating aggregate demand, since the Mexican economy is especially vulnerable due its dependence on (oil) exports to the US. The Central Bank is also likely to fail in its efforts to directly prop up the Peso, because of the tide of speculators betting against it. To quote the same Atlanta Fed report:A sudden shift of funds out of a currency is called a speculative attack in the economics literature…Rather than waiting for the central bank’s reserves to run out through a gradual process of current account deficits, speculators who realize that a devaluation is inevitable will attack the currency through massive capital outflows as soon as they command enough resources to force a devaluation.Most analysts have since turned bearish on Mexico, which means the fall of the Peso has become self-fulfilling. Check out the Mexican Peso ETF (FXM), which represents a simple and effective way to bet against (or for, for all of the contrarians out there) the Peso

Spike in Eastern Europe is Short-Lived (forex)

2009-03-11T10:16:00.000-07:00

Last week, the currencies of Eastern Europe (Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, etc.) received a nice bump from the announcement of a $25 Billion loan from several multilateral banks, as well as from a slight pickup in risk aversion. The sense of optimism proved to be short-lived, however, as the EU recently rejected a request to provide large scale ($200 Billion+) assistance to the the region. The swift and decisive refusal to intervene injected a fresh wave of uncertainty into a region that is already among the hardest-hit from the credit crisis. The move also carried important political implications, conveying that the EU still sees a clear distinction between eastern and western Europe. Bloomberg News reports:Growth in Poland, the biggest eastern European economy, will slow to 2 percent, the slackest pace since 2002, the European Commission forecasts. Latvia, a former Soviet republic, will contract 6.9 percent.

Forex Achieves New Prominence

The credit crisis has resulted in a collapse in prices for nearly every type of investable asset class (i.e. stocks, bonds, commodities, real estate)- with the notable exception of one: currencies. Of course, this is an inherent quality of forex: a rise in one currency must necessarily be offset by a fall in another currency. While you are probably rolling your eye at the obviousness of this observation, it is still worthwhile to make because it implies that there is always a bull market in forex. Accordingly, capital from both institutions and retail investors continues to pour in, causing daily turnover to surge by 41% (according to one survey), which would imply a total of $4.5 Trillion per day!Investment banks, especially, are trying to increase their forex business in order to compensate for a decline in other divisions. Said one representative: ”We have probably made more of an aggressive leapfrog in growing our revenue base, which has virtually doubled in 2008 versus 2007. With the situation that has been developing over the past six months, where banks are clearly re-embarking on a new role leading back to basics, foreign exchange has to be one of the products that tops that list.” Based on New York data, which generally reflects global forex activity, transactions between the Dollar, Euro, and Yen (i.e. not including outside currencies) now account for more than half of the total.Contrary to popular belief, however, most foreign exchange transactions involve derivatives, rather than spot trades. In the case of swaps, it is the nominal value of the swap that is reported, which well exceeds the total amount of currency that is exchanged, and thus results in an inflated estimate of total daily turnover. One would expect that the increase in both liquidity and the role of derivatives in forex markets would result in a corresponding decrease in volatility. Of course, this is quickly belied by the turbulence of the last six months, in which many currency pairs set daily, weekly, and/or monthly records for swings and volatility. I recently read an article about so-called “predictive markets,” which use a grassroots approach to make forecasts by “by giving people virtual trading accounts that allow them to buy and sell “shares” that correspond to a particular outcome. Shares in an outcome that is considered more likely to occur then trade at a higher price than those that represent a less likely outcome.” Given that the “experts” are almost invariably wrong, I think this idea has tremendous potential to make forex markets even more transparent.

Regarding fractional reserve lending. After spending lots of time reading about how banking systems work (including lots of really dry stuff like international settlement systems) I’ve come to the conclusion that fractional reserve practices fill critically important and likely delicate roles in highly interconnected and critical global systems and that leading the charge to change those rules would be tilting at windmills. This is not the sort of problem where we should write a new system, reinstall and reboot.We should instead address one of the major flaws of the system, the accumulation of debt in excess of the money supply (think of it as an in-memory patch).Perhaps this issue could be solved with by tasking the Treasury with issuing into circulation of non-debt dollars in a quantity equal to the interest paid for each reporting period (quarterly I’d suppose).I’m not convinced that the ‘boom and bust’ cycle is solely the result of Fed control of the monetary system (seems to me that complex social factors probably also play in important role; consider the development of CDOs and MBSs), or that it is /necessarily/ a bad thing. Booms encourage and enable new ideas (lots of money available results in funding of wild and harebrained ideas that just might work but that wouldn’t be able to pay off in an environment of higher interest rates one would expect in a completely stable economy), and busts weed out marginal or weak practices (the harebrained ideas). The cycle (provided it describes mild recessions rather than Great Depressions) may help to prevent stagnation.What is bad is that in conjunction with the current practice of creating only principle rather than principle+interest the system can be managed to (or perhaps must) cause an accumulation of debt obligation toward the entities permitted to practice fractional reserve lending.Perhaps we can greatly improve the system simply by causing to exist each quarter all the money required to pay off the interest on loans. This would begin the injection of credit money into the system with minimal impact on business.

Paul Monroe Says about Forex

2009-03-11T10:14:00.001-07:00

The honest truth is that our banking system and money itself is a complete mystery to most Americans - myself included up until about a year ago. Although I have done a good bit of reading on the monetary issue, it is still a very confusing subject full of overlapping jargon and complex systems.I think that criticism of fractional reserve banking is certainly fair when it is practiced under a central bank on the basis of a purely “paper” currency. If I was to loan out money to others, and charge interest, by writing checks for money that I did not have, I would be charged with fraud. Even if I had $10 in the bank, I would still be committing fraud by writing checks for $100 and exchanging them with you for the promise of repayment plus interest.Yet this is precisely what banks do every day. They make loans to individuals using money they do not have. Well, how do they make the loans? They simply create the new money on the spot by typing on the computer and updating the size of your account.The unfairness is that 1) the government essentially mandates that we can only use Federal Reserve Notes as currency and 2) the government mandates that only institutions which are part of the Federal Reserve banking cartel can create this commodity. Such is not the case with gold. Gold is not valuable because the government says so, and no one has an exclusive legal right (or physical ability) to conjure gold out of nothing. Hence, fractional reserve banking - where only a portion of your liabilities are backed by reserves of currency - is immoral primarily because it rests upon a legal monopoly given to and benefiting the banks of the Federal Reserve system.On the other hand, I’m inclined to believe that fractional reserve banking - in a true free market monetary system (free banking system) - would not be immoral or even necessarily dangerous. In such a system, the currency would most likely be gold, silver, or even potentially shares of a basket of commodities… whatever consumers and producers conclude, in aggregate, is the most stable/flexible/desirable basis for a medium of exchange in trade. Banks, then, would provide the services of 1) storing money 2) providing bank notes (paper or electronic) to facilitate economic transactions and 3) issuing loans.Currently, you can go to a bank and exchange a Federal Reserve note for just another Federal Reserve note. Under a free market system, no one would accept such a currency that had no intrinsic value (unless it is an extremely well-established social norm/tradition - like pacific island cultures that used round stones with holes in the middle as money), instead they would demand something of actual value in return that they could then trade with others. Banks would have vaults of gold (or other commodities perhaps), but to facilitate transactions they would issue private notes which are essential mini-contractual obligations to exchange the note for real currency on demand.These notes, like Federal Reserve notes, would be used in trade. People would only accept them, however, if they believed the bank was sound, and that the probability that the notes would be redeemed on demand was certain. This would provide an incentive for banks to behave more cautiously and to show the public proof of their soundness. This contrasts with our current system in which default FDIC insurance discourages consumers from caring about the financial status of their bank.At the same time, such a system would allow banks to engage in fractional reserve banking. By issuing loans in their own private bank notes, they would be able to create more notes (contracts guaranteeing the exchange of the note for real currency) than actual currency in their reserves. The question is, would this be immoral? I don’t think so.First, under a free market system, anyone would be free to establish such a bank and issue notes. Membership in a central banking cartel would not be enforced by law - the system would be completely voluntary. Banks may exist which use 100% reserve ratios, and if you did not trust using a fractional reserve bank’s notes, you could turn to alternatives. Secondly, the entire system would be on the basis of contract. No one would be living under the pretense that the notes are actual money, as we do today. Although banks would be issuing contracts that they know, under certain conditions, they would not be able to deliver on (assume a huge bank run, or theft of the reserves), such contracts are made every day by businesses who know that, under rare or extreme circumstances, they will not be able to fulfill (hurricane, theft, etc).If a bank issues notes and is aware of a substantial risk that it will be unable to perform the contract, or should have been aware of that fact, or if it issues them knowing for certain that they will not fulfill it - the role of the government is to punish them for fraud. Even still, it would against the bank’s own interest to create too many notes since the danger of insolvency in a free market would not be accompanied by the subtle guarantee of a government bailout as it is today.In conclusion, as supply and demand for money changes (in both actual form and in contractual note form), only a free market monetary system would be able to react appropriately. Like all commodities such as lamps, canned soup, or iron ore, money must be left to the free market.I realize this is quite a lengthy post, but I think that the subject is absolutely fascinating. Thank you B.J. for providing a place for discussion of these important and often-ignored issues.

A Short Stack of Lies and Half-Truths from the Wall Street Journal About forex

2009-03-11T10:12:00.001-07:00

I’m grateful that Dr. Tom DiLorenzo, professor of economics at Loyola College, took the time to write a rebuttal to an inexplicably ignorant hit-piece recently published in the Wall Street Journal entitled “A Short Banking History of the United States.”The author of this article, Mr. John Steele Gordon, makes a number of spurious claims in an attempt to discredit the economic philosophy of sound money controlled by the people, and defend Alexander Hamilton’s loyalty to banking interests in the drive to create a private central bank to own our money supply.Beneath Mr. Gordon’s flowery rhetoric, however, is a profound ignorance of a fundamental problem in our money and banking system: fractional reserve lending. As I noted in an article last August, this ignorance in the mainstream media is nothing new, and par for the Once you understand the root of the problem, namely that banks are given a monopoly on the ability to create money out of nothing based solely out of someone’s promise to pay it back with interest, the tragic absurdity of our current situation becomes clearI’m especially grateful, though, for Dr. DiLorenzo’s rebuttal that puts Mr. Gordon’s revisionist history in the proper context:The system of financial regulatory dictatorship that Gordon praises, and which is about to be forced down the throats of the American public, has been tried before in other countries. During one of its own periodic financial crises, Italian government officials complained bitterly, as Gordon does, of regulation that has been “disorganic” and “case by case, as the need arises.” The Italian regime altered its regulatory system so that it could pursue “certain fixed objectives,” just as Gordon argues for a “unified and coherent regulatory system.” This highly centralized or even dictatorial regulatory system, the Italians argued, would supposedly “introduce order in the economic field” and achieve the goal of “unity of aim” with regard to government regulation of industry.All of the words in quotation marks in the preceding paragraph, except for the last ones, are the words of Benito Mussolini. The “unity of aim” phrase was from Mussolini apologist/propagandist Fausto Pitigliani. There is, after all, a very keen similarity between Hamiltonian mercantilism — or an economy directed and controlled by government, supposedly “in the public interest” but in reality for the benefit of a privileged few — and the economic fascism of Italy (and Germany) of the 1920s and ’30s.I encourage you to read the rest of Dr. DiLorenzo’s article, and to evaluate the credentials of those who praise our Federal Reserve and banking system carefully — including my opponent. As with many corporate interests in Washington, the fox has been left guarding the henhouse.Once you’ve read the explanations of how banking works, you’ll really enjoy the below cartoon (from Sinfest) that beautifully explains the bailout in action

Forex news-What is Ulcer Index or UI?

2009-03-11T10:11:00.001-07:00

Ulcer index or UI is a popular indicator which shows the riskiness of an investment. The indicator was developed by Peter G. Martin and Byron B. McCann and was published in 1989 in the book “The Investors Guide to Fidelity Funds”. Ulcer index is mainly used by traders to measure short-term risk associated with an instrument; stock, index, funds or commodities.Ulcer index differs from standard deviation and from other risk indicators in considering only the downside volatility. The idea is that, from a trader point of view only the downside risk is to be considered; as upside volatility usually favors the stock holder. Ulcer value for an investment is calculated by the formulaWhere R is the percentage drop of closing prices calculated asR = 100 x (Price –highest price)/ highest price.High values of ulcer index shows high risk associated with an instrument and if the instrument drops in price, it can take a long time to recover. Thus these kinds of instruments are not suitable for traders looking for short-term profits or who are trading on risk-capital. Most traders use 14-day ulcer index for technical analysis. Traders can also set a safe ulcer level (eg: at 5) for screening stocks, and can use the index for comparing two or more related stocks (same industry or section) and to trade the most suited ones. Remember ulcer level does not consider any upward movements and it drops with it

Hedging Against Trading Portfolio Risks

2009-03-11T10:09:00.002-07:00

Hedging is one of the most commonly used financial words which denote any practice to reduce or remove future loss associated with an investment or instrument. Hedging is like insurance; actually insurance is also a hedge. Today one can hedge against almost all type of future losses including disasters, market volatility, robbery, inflation, interest rate changes, and more. Hedging do not stop these events from happening but enables a person to reduce the effect (loss) of the events.From a trader or investor point of view, hedging is trading or investing in instruments with negative correlations; i.e. if one goes up then the other goes down. Usually, stock traders hedge their portfolio risks by using derivatives – futures and options.Futures are the most widely used hedging method; mostly practiced by institutional traders, companies and other big players of the market. Futures can be used for both short and long-term hedging. Futures allow the holder to buy or sell the underlying product at a set price at a future time. Thus if the stock that one is holding is likely to go down, he can trade a futures contract to sell the stock for a fixed price (around current market price) to hedge his loss.Options are flexible (also can be complex) instruments which are very good hedging instruments for retail traders. Options allow the trader the option to buy or sell the underlying product at a set price at future time; remember there is no obligation.Hedging includes costs and precise market timings; and it as it reduces your risks, it also reduces the return. Most retail traders in their trading life do not practice hedging. They let their investments to grow/fall with the market. But it is worthy to learn various hedging practices, its effects, and its advantages and disadvantages.

Forex Trading with Gann Fans

2009-03-11T10:09:00.001-07:00

Gann Fans, developed by Gann, are one of the most widely used tools by Gann himself to exploit the relationship between price and time. Gann fans derive their existence from Gann angles, there are 9 major Gann angles and 1 x 1 or 45 degree angle is the single most important one. Know more about Gann Angles. Gann fans are used by traders to find support and resistance levels, trend changes and major price-time junctions.Gann fans are plotted over charts; from recent peaks or bottoms. The chart should have same unit in X and Y axis; in other words consistency of unit is important. Lines of various lines (at 82.5, 75, 71.25, 63.75, 45, 26.25, 18.75, 15 and 7.5 degrees) are plotted. When ever the price moves above a line, the instrument is in upward trend and whenever the price moves below a line, the instrument is in downward trend. The lines serve as immediate support and resistance levels. Trend changes are indicated when a line is crossed and new trends are identified when price cross another line. When one line is broken prices then fall/rise to next nearest line.In most cases Gann fans serve the function of trend lines and Fibonacci fans. Traders can enter and exit trades when the lines are broken or prices are at a strong trend (like 1 x 1 line). Price movements in higher degrees indicate swift price movements. Gann fans offer better results when used in conjunction with other trend and volume indicators.

Rising or Inclining Wedge Formation about Forex

2009-03-11T10:08:00.002-07:00

Wedge formations are one of the difficult formations to identify. They look like symmetrical triangle formation but unlike symmetrical triangle they have strong bullish or bearish bias and have slop. Wedge formations can be trend-reversal or trend-continuation patterns which favor long-term traders, as they usually take 2 to 4 months to form. Note that wedge formations have a high failure rate than others.Rising wedge formation has a strong bearish bias. They are considered trend-continuation pattern, when formed after a strong downtrend, and trend-reversal pattern, when formed after an uptrend. Both lines of a rising wedge have upward slops, and the lower line is steeper than the upper one. The highs and lows tend to converge to a point and the break out occurs; in most cases downwards. Volume of trades tends to get lower as the pattern forms and the breakout is noticeable with a significant increase in volume.Rising wedge formations occur when there is high-uncertainty in market and the bulls continuously fail to break the resistance level. The pattern in considered true one if there are two or more reaction highs and lows touching upper resistance and lower support lines. Rising wedge formations are more reliable as trend-continuation formation and traders enter sell orders when the pattern breaks down. Remember, rising wedge formation is considered less reliable when there is no sufficient increase in volume at breakout. The trader should use other indicators to confirm trend changes.

Ease of Movement Indicator

2009-03-11T10:08:00.001-07:00

Ease of Movement or EMV is a momentum indicator which shows the relationship between price change and trading volume. Many traders trading stocks, futures and currencies use this indicator to generate buy and sell signals. Ease of Movement indicator was developed by Richard W Arms Jr. and is closely related to Equivolume charts. The formula for calculating EMV isEase of Movement = Mid Point Move / Box RatioWhereMid-point move = Today’s mid point (high + low/2) – Yesterday’s midpointBox Ratio = Volume / (high - low)The daily values of Ease of Movement are then smoothed by using a moving average (often 10 or 14 day).Ease of the movement indicator shows both negative and positive values.High negative values show downtrends with low trading volume. i.e. low volume is required to make a movement.High positive values show uptrends with low trading volume. Again low volume is required to make a movement.Low values (around zero) show corresponding trends with high trading volume indicating accumulation or distribution. Here high volume is required to make a movement.Zero value is generated when there is very high trading volume for very small price changes.Most systems generate buying signals when ease of the movement crosses above zero from below and generate sell signals when it crosses below zero from above. With most other technicals, it is advised to use other indicators and tools to confirm price changes and buy/sell signals.

Weekly Stock Market Letter, 23 February 2009

2009-03-11T10:07:00.001-07:00

The Week Ahead: Although the White House continues to favor a privately held banking system, nationalization seems to be gaining the upper hand as many believe this to be inevitable. President Obama will address Congress on Tuesday while Ben Bernanke begins his two day testimony on Capital Hill. The Case Shiller House Price Index is also released. Existing home sales data is out on Wednesday. Durable goods and new home sales data are due by Thursday. Lastly, a preliminary look at the nations GDP for the fourth quarter on Friday will be closely watched.Stocks to Watch: Kindred Healthcare (KND) surprised many by beating EPS estimates and lifting their 2009 target as the stock reached a 4 month high. Cabela's (CAB), the outdoor sporting goods company, also broke strongly to the upside after beating estimates for their Q4. Actuant (ATU) shares fell because preliminary Q2 sales will be off by 23%. Tim Horton's (THI), the Canadian retaurant chain, boosted its quarterly dividend by 10 cents after releasing its Q4 results. Morningstar (MORN) came in light on their Q4 EPS and the stock fell about 14%.Special Note: The Dow Industrials are leading the market lower as it reached its lowest level since October 2002 and joined the Dow Transports in breaking last November's low. It's possible that some form of nationalization of the major banks could be the catalyzing event that would produce a more lasting low in the major indexes since the peak in October 2007 but at what level? All the major indexes are currently below their 20 year MA and long term charts indicate the 30 year moving averages at 5800, 675, and 1200 on the DJIA, S&P 500, and Nasdaq respectively.Commentary provided by Barry Ward, Registered Principal, NobleTrading.com, Inc.

What is Forex (Foreign Exchange)?

2009-03-11T09:56:00.000-07:00

Foreign Exchange (FOREX) is the arena where a nation's currency is exchanged for that of another. The foreign exchange market is the largest financial market in the world, with the equivalent of over $1.9 trillion changing hands daily; more than three times the aggregate amount of the US Equity and Treasury markets combined. Unlike other financial markets, the Forex market has no physical location and no central exchange (off-exchange). It operates through a global network of banks, corporations and individuals trading one currency for another. The lack of a physical exchange enables the Forex market to operate on a 24-hour basis, spanning from one zone to another in all the major financial centers.Traditionally, retail investors' only means of gaining access to the foreign exchange market was through banks that transacted large amounts of currencies for commercial and investment purposes. Trading volume has increased rapidly over time, especially after exchange rates were allowed to float freely in 1971. Today, importers and exporters, international portfolio managers, multinational corporations, speculators, day traders, long-term holders and hedge funds all use the FOREX market to pay for goods and services, transact in financial assets or to reduce the risk of currency movements by hedging their exposure in other markets.

With a Forex mini account you can expect low minimum deposits of as little as $100 which can usually be deposited through bank transfer or Credit Card, sometimes even Debit Cards which is obviously very advantageous.The idea of a Forex mini account is that it allows a new trader to get started in currency trading with small amounts until they gain the confidence, experience and profits to be able to tackle a professional account and make the really big money.To help you do this many mini accounts come packaged with a variety of support tools from simple charting right through to personal 1 to 1 tuition. The software of the mini account is usually very easy to use since its main user is the inexperienced trader and there are usually measures in place to help you manage your trading and avoid any significant losses.A mini Forex account will still offer you good leverages (often up to 200:1) and competitive pip spreads (3-5 is the typical) so you can still make big profits while you learn the fundamentals of trading and work on developing your own Forex strategy.

They respond to technical indicators very well
