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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Trading Forex - Outlook For GBP-CHF

With financial markets in turmoil, press is full of speculation regarding US dollar and Euro. A lot of coverage is given to unprecedented commodities boom, especially record prices for oil and grains. Precious and industrial metals also draw a lot of attention. Credit and debt markets have been on front pages for a couple of years now. Let's not forget about stock markets, which, both in US and globally, are experiencing wild swings with seemingly no end in sight.

With so much going on, it's no wonder that some very large moves in currencies have escaped attention, or at least wide coverage. British Pound, for one, has not been mentioned as often as it deserves. Same goes to Swiss Franc, and by extension, the cross of these two currencies, GBP-CHF.

Despite being one of speculator's favorite financial vehicle, this pair seems to be living in a shadow of it's cousin, GBP-JPY, which gets far more coverage from Forex analysts. This fact is likely due to much more vaunted stature of Japanese Yen, while Swiss Franc is so much correlated to Euro, that has been loosing trading volume to other currencies, most notably both Australian and Canadian Dollars. By some accounts, even Swedish Krone has reached comparable trading volume about a year ago.

That is when Franc started to regain some of its past luster as a safe heaven during times of uncertainty and financial turmoil. Swiss central bank started to bust interest rates and CHF staged a very impressive rally, lasting better part of a year. Combined with bearish news coming from Great Brittan, GBP-CHF has seen the most severe sell off amongst CHF crosses.

Between July 2007 and March 2008 this pair fell from 2.5000 to 1.9375. That is a staggering 5600+ pips, a huge move by any standard. In fact, it has been first time in over 10 years, and only the second time ever, that this cross fell under 2.0000, a very important psychological level. As it is often the case in such furious moves, the price rebounded sharply from the March low to about 2.0960 and has since settled into a sideways movement.

This "settled price action" is a relative term and true only in light of past few month. Comparing to other currency pairs, daily moves are still large. Average True Range still shows a reading well over 200, and 300+ pips days are the norm. Just last Thursday daily range was over 420 pips. Certainly this kind of volatility demands respect and creates trading opportunities.

Extreme price fluctuations might make it unsuitable for some traders. Also, trading GBP-CHF on short time frames, might be an expensive proposition. The spread, cost of trading, is still relatively wide. Even though over last few years spreads narrowed down, they are still minimum of 6 pips, with 8-10 pips being the norm. In frequent trading, even the larger profit potential might not offset these costs.

Trading longer time frames might be a better proposition for most traders. The recent low of 1.9375 seems to be a major low, which is likely hold for the the rest of this year. As a matter of fact, patterns on long term charts, weekly and monthly, indicate this to be a multi year low. Long term up trend is expected for the rest of the year with a target of 2.1600-2.1800 over next few months. After that next target would be 2.3000 or perhaps even 2.3500, maybe a year later.

This kind of long term expectations should be reviewed and adjusted every few months. As of this writing, the price is around 2.0470, providing us with a substantial long term trading opportunity. Due to large volatility of this pair, one shouldn't use high leverage as there are almost sure to be severe pullbacks over time. While not suitable for everybody, GBP-CHF is certainly an exciting cross, worth of a closer look.

Day Trading The Forex Market

Almost everyone that talks to me about trading Forex refer the day trading. To all this people I tend to say that if you're just starting in this market, "Watch out!" It's not as simple or as easy as it looks.

There are some reasons why most beginners and even advanced traders can't make money consistently day trading Forex.

1 - The Forex market is open 24 hours a day.

Well, this could be an enormous advantage and it sure seems like it. But let us analyze it. If the Forex market is open 24 hours a day and you want to day trade and make money, this would mean be in front of your computer 24 hours a day. Well, this is impossible for one person to do. Even if you could stay awake 24 hours a day (which you can, obviously), would you be in the right frame mind to do a good trade? Would you even recognize that it was a good trade to enter? I don't think so.

2 - The Forex market lacks volatility during most of the day.

I'm sure you already figured it out. If the market is open 24 hours a day, there are periods where there's no volatility and others that the volatility explodes. On these volatility explosions, sometimes you don't even have time to think, not to mention entering an order. When you are day trading, you're constantly looking for a good trade. As during most of the day, the Forex market lacks volatility, prepare yourself to wait a long time before a good opportunity appears. And when it does, will you be able to correctly identify it? Will you recognize that it's a good trade?

3 - The spreads are huge to day trade.

I can imagine what you're thinking. 2, 3 or 4 pips spread is not that much... But let's see what these 2, 3 or 4 pips actually mean when you're day trading. When you want to day trade, you might do several trades during the day. Let's imagine that on a particular day, you made 6 trades. This means that you pay the spread for 12 times. If the spread of the currency pair you're trading is let's say 3 pips, this means that you spent 36 pips just for entering and exiting the trades. So, in order for you to make money for the day, you need to have done at least 36 pips.

4 - The day trading stress.

This doesn't only happen in Forex but also in other financial markets. Although, in the Forex it's even more stressing due to the fact that the market is open 24 hours a day and you can be waiting for a good trade to appear for a long time. Add this to the fact of the lack of volatility of this market.

As you can see, there are a lot of difficulties concerning day trading. This is why I tell all Forex traders, beginners or experienced, that making money consistently day trading Forex is not a simple task.

Trading For A Living - Is It Easy? Hardly!

Trading for a living, what could be a more alluring profession? The Forbes list of the 500 wealthiest people in the world is littered with names of people who have amassed huge fortunes in the world of Wall Street. Warren Buffett, George Soros, Paul Tudor Jones, James Simons, Louis Bacon, and Eddie Lampert, just to name a few. In 2007, to make the list of 100 top earners on Wall Street, you needed an income of at least $75 million! The top earners made over $1 billion!

With that in mind, it is no wonder that new traders set out to make their fortunes in the financial markets. After all, they are bombarded with advertisements and infomercials describing the next great thing in the world of trading. Starting with accounts as small as just a few thousand dollars, these traders hope to hit it big, and they seek to find that holy grail of trading systems that will lead them to the promised land of Wall Street riches.

I was one of those traders almost 15 years ago. At that time, after subscribing to a couple stock newsletters, I was bombarded with other newsletter writers, telling me they new the way to financial fortune. One service got me interested in commodity trading by sending me some spread trading strategies. These proved to be outdated and ineffective, since markets change over time. I then learned a popular trend following system, had some initial success, and then was hooked on trading. Little did I know that trading is a lot more difficult than I realized.

What I didn't realize is that the competition in the financial markets is fierce. Wall Street is littered with MBA's and PHD's from the Ivy League schools. These people are groomed for Wall Street careers through summer internships at the big investment houses such as Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, or even some big hedge funds. Some of these hedge funds not only hire traders, but top scientific minds from disciplines such as physics, chemistry and engineering.

In 1998 I had the opportunity to work for a hedge fund and commodity trading firm as an execution trader dealing with Asian and European markets. This firm was run by a trader who hired computer programmers that could test and research all of his ideas and then program them into automated trading models. The only orders I needed to execute were the more sizable orders so we could avoid the slippage caused by large stop orders. There were other traders and research staff that all had a hand in developing new models for the system. In spite of this, that firm eventually nearly failed and is now just a shell of itself.

Around that same time, I learned that a friend of mine from college worked for one of the biggest offshore commodity funds, and one of the most successful. He indicated that firm also had a significant number of research personnel conducting research on new trading models. Their system was also heavily automated, they had their own research platform for developing these new models.

Also in the late 1990's I was introduced to Jaffray Woodriff of Quantitative Investment Management in Charlottesville, Virginia. We had a mutual friend that was a fraternity brother of mine at William and Mary. The first time I spoke with Jaffray, I realized that he was far more intelligent than I. He was also a computer programmer and learned how to test and develop his own trading models on his own software. He clearly had a passion for the markets and I could just tell this guy was going to make it big. At that time, he had a small trading business, but ran into some initial problems. So, he took off for Wall Street to work at an investment bank. He had some good success on the trading desk there and a few years ago, decided to start up his current business with a partner. That hedge fund now manages over $3 billion!

Now that you know how stiff the competition is, you may think twice about trying your hand at trading for a living. Can it be done? Of course it can. However, the statistics suggest that traders who start out with less than $10,000 trading futures or in the Forex currency markets will fail 90% of the time. The main reason for this is the lack of capital, but it can also be attributed to not having a coherent plan for trading.

With this in mind, new traders should follow the following process before attempting to stake their claim in the financial markets:

1. Determine the absolute highest amount of money you are willing to lose in the markets, money that if lost, will not affect your standard of living.

2. Determine what you seek to achieve in this business. What are your short term goals and long term goals?

3. Determine your monthly bills and make sure those are covered by ANOTHER source of income besides trading.

4. Figure out what type of trading suits your personality best. Are you able to withstand significant losses while waiting for significant trends to develop? Do you need to be right more often than you are wrong? Do you want to take quick small profits or wait for big trades that occur over longer periods of time? Can you pay attention to the markets with no distraction throughout the day, or do you have a real day job that requires most of your attention? Are you more interested in technical analysis or fundamental analysis? Do you like mechanical trading systems or do you like to go with your gut? When you answer these questions you can figure out whether you should focus on longer term stock trading, daytrading, short term swing trading, options trading, etc.

5. Once you figure out the trading style that suits you best, then you must conduct a good bit of research on the markets to develop your trading strategies. I recommend backtesting strategies on historical data with a program such as TradeStation. If you are able to program your own software for developing trading models, that is even better. Do not fall into the trap of just looking at the bottom line results of the models that you test. You must see how they perform on a day-to-day and month-to-month basis so that you will have an idea of the losses you can expect when trading for real.

6. Do not start trading until you are absolutely confident in the strategies you have developed. One big mistake a lot of traders make is not sticking to their plan. As soon they experience a drawdown, they give up on their strategy and try and trade a new one. As soon as they start the new one, the old one starts working. This is one reason I recommend against the purchase of black box trading systems without any knowledge of how these systems select their trades.

7. After you start trading, maintain records on how your trading. Be sure to write down the reason for initiating your trade, and the reason you exit. If you deviate from your strategy, state why, and how that deviant trade performed. In this way you will be able to keep track of what works for you and what does not.

Ultimately, you must approach trading like you would any other business or profession. It requires research, education and knowledge to succeed in this business. Many people fail, so do not assume that because you have some smarts that you can be successful. Successful trading requires careful planning, common sense, intestinal fortitude, and a little luck!

Forex Trading Strategies Or Forex Trading System?

If you've been in the Forex trading game for any number of days, hours or minutes you'll have realized there are a plethora of applications, strategies and methods available to get you the results you want. Mad confusion, so which are better and for what purpose? Don't stop now, keep reading!

Let's start with the big one, Forex trading strategies. One thing you should understand before even thinking about designing or getting help with a trading strategy is you need knowledge of the trading game. You try to develop a strategy or get one from someone else but you have little to no knowledge you're likely to lose money. So if you don't know the market, skip the next paragraph because they're not for you. Come on now don't cry; there's something for everyone in this article (even those with no experience).

So yeah, Forex strategies are to be used by those who know what they're doing. The idea is pretty self-explanatory from the term. You use a strategy to stop missing good Forex trades and start making a consistent and reliable income in both large numbers and a fast manner. These strategies go from basic like "fast moving averages crossover" to complex like "picking tops and bottoms". Google those terms and you'll be guaranteed to find those strategies and likely many more. I just want to add that strategies like those are for educational purposes only as the trading market can significantly change at any time. I am not suggesting those do or do not work I am simply saying those are common strategies. Use at your own risk.

Next come Forex trading systems. There are a ton of these bad boys out there but let's focus on a common style, autopilot, and a common choice, Forex Tracer. The concept, again, is pretty self-explanatory by the term. It's an autopilot application. It does it all on its own. These are the optimal choices for lazy people like me who want large amounts of cash with little effort. Worst case scenario we spend 10-15 minutes in front of the computer per-day. All that's left is leaving the computer on and connected to the Internet 24/7 and it'll do the trading for us. What's not to love?

The GOOD autopilot Forex trading systems are created by expert traders/advisors along with mathematicians and in some cases, behavioral psychologists. Heavy stuff man. This combination of experts ensures you're getting reliable information (they send updates, newsletters, have full support, etc.) from credible sources. That's what we're after for maximum profits. In the case of Forex Tracer there is also a "demo account" where you can play the trading market with "play money" to see how much you could potentially profit. No investment needed, it's great.

So there you have it. Strategies are great for those who know and understand the complicated magic that we call Forex trading and Forex trading systems are for those who genuinely don't care about the complicated business and just want the money (with little work).

Currency Trading Profit Tips

I'm here to share with you some of my currency trading profit tips. These should help you make more profitable trades that will yield long term success in this business. These need to be applied on a daily basis because that is how you build the routines that make you successful.

Profit Margins

When you first get into this business, it seems to be that most people want to make small trades for small profits to learn how to do this. That is a good thing to do, but there is something you need to understand and that is your broker is getting paid. When your profits are a slim margin and your broker is taking a slim margin, that means your broker ends up taking a significant portion of your profit. It also means that they add to your loss too. If you look at the overall cash, you might find yourself down, even if you're doing good trading that would show a profit if you had better margins.

What is margin trading?

Margin trading is the ability to leverage your money with the brokers and make larger trades. This means you deposit like $100, and your broker will let you trade $10,000. As long as you're making profits, your broker is happy. IF you make losses, your broker will cut you off as soon as you get close to your original deposit of $100.

Forex Killer

Forex Killer is the most sophisticated piece of forex trading software on the market. It has a trend finding system in it, so you'll know exactly when to buy and when to sell.

The automated software of Forex Killer will give you an immediate edge in the market. Make trades that work for your profit line. For more information on the Forex Killer software, check out Forex Charting Software.

Currency Trading Training - 7 Favorite Tips

Currency trading training is not over when a trader finally sees the equity increasing in their account.

The Forex market is a very demanding environment and for a trader to maintain a success level, constant currency trading training is necessary.

The following 7 favorite tips can be used as timely reminders and need to be read and absorbed on a regular basis:

#1 - Take Responsibility

"The buck stops here." Don't blame the markets, or a host of other factors for a losing trade. You entered it for whatever reasons you had at the time. Take responsibility for it.

#2 - Use Each Losing Trade As A Stepping Stone

You lost a trade? Good. It will help you focus on a potential problem in your trading method. If after careful analysis you are satisfied you worked according to your plan, fine. Move on.

#3 - Never Become Impatient With The Market

New traders in the early stages of their currency trading training can be eaten alive by the market. During periods of consolidation with little liquidity the anxious impatient trader will force trading opportunities where there none.

Learn to accept the fact that around 70% of the time price will be in a consolidation channel.

#4 - Focus Daily On Improving Your Trading Skills

Currency trading training is an ongoing process. Day by day, step by step the trader improves. So rather than be preoccupied with profits and losses, concentrate on developing the skills. Your account will start to reflect your focus in time.

#5 - Be Pleased With Well Executed Trades Whatever The Outcome

Is this possible? Yes. You can feel well pleased even with a losing trade if you stuck to your methodology and executed the trade well. It is dangerous to feel good about a winning trade when you went against your trading method to achieve it. Your elation is likely to be short lived. Learn to execute the plan!

#6 - If In Doubt Stay Out

The feeling of regret can drain a person mentally and emotionally from entering a poorly considered trade. Once the trigger has been pulled and the trade starts going wrong, the agony of watching it inch towards your stop should renew in the trader the determination to stay out when in doubt!

#7 - Always Have A Good Reason

Currency trading training involves careful analysis of reasons for entering a trade. Just because price is high is not a reason to go short or long if price is low. Price will do what price wants to do so rather than trading from gut reaction, e.g. "Price can't go any higher (or lower)" learn to detach emotions and use pure technical analysis to establish a number of reasons why you should take a trade.

As currency trading training is a long term commitment, skills and disciplines learned can sometimes be forgotten as bad habits creep in.

It is necessary to constantly renew the thinking processes by repeating over and over the habits of successful traders.

These 7 favorite tips will keep the newer trader out of a lot of trouble!

Some Simple, Yet Effective Forex Trading Techniques

Experts will always assert that one of the surest ways to succeed in currency trading is knowing and implementing forex trading techniques. Foreign exchange is truly a dynamic and demanding investment avenue and there is the need to understand and truly comprehend such trading if you want to make your capital grow from it.

What are forex trading techniques? To begin with, such strategies are special and are schematic processes or styles of trading that are designed and implemented with the principal aim of generating higher revenue or income. Just like in any other form of trading, there is also a need to know and implement proper and working techniques to make your money grow through currency trading. Thus, it would be helpful if you would be familiar with several simple, yet proven effective forex trading techniques.

The first simple technique would be buying low, selling high. In general, this is the principal principle that should be practiced. Through this, investors should always strive to buy currencies that have lower values than what your currency form is. Thus, you would realize that you are actually making your capital valuation instantly. Then, you should wait for sometime until that currency appreciates and when it does, it would be the perfect time to sell it, which would return your money into your base currency, but this time in higher value.

Another simple technique is to convert your capital into US dollar as a base currency. If you are already having the dollar as a base currency, you could stick to it, but otherwise, it would be advisable if you convert into dollar. From there, you could easily convert into other currencies. Almost all currencies have direct dollar conversion rate, making it easier for traders to determine and actually run transactions.

Lastly, trade currency based on to market and economic factors. This technique employs the value of research about the factors and risks of the economy of particular countries. For example, if you want to trade into Japanese yen, it would be helpful if you would first understand what is going on in the business environment in Japan. This way, you could easily foretell if your converted money would rise or fall.

As an investor or trader, it should always be your goal to make your capital grow. Know and adopt effective forex trading techniques and see how your money could attain its real growth potential in no time.

An Overview

So, you want to make big bucks trading the markets? We've heard all the stories of how fortunes were made in the time it takes to say, "where's the keys to my Porsche?" But can it be done? Well - maybe. And you want a piece of the action, yes? And I don't blame you. Trading for a living, for me, is the best occupation there is. No boss, no overheads to speak of, work when you want, anywhere you want, freedom; just you, the computer, and your plan. Plan? What plan?

Of course, 'plan'. Anything in life worth doing must have a plan of sorts. Trading is no different. In fact trading without a plan is asking for trouble of the most serious kind, financially speaking. You must have a plan. Read on.

The content of this very modest document has been the subject of many books, has been studied in depth by the very best of us, and will be debated for years to come. My aim here is to plant a seed that hopefully will steer you in the right direction thus saving you countless dollars, not to mention heartache and ruin.

Before you start to lay your hard-earned money on the line, there are many, MANY, things that need to be taken into consideration. The very first lesson to learn quickly is that the guys and gals who trade the markets for a living, the professionals, are not going to think twice about taking that money from you. They know all the tricks in the book, and a few more to boot. The idea is to act and think like those professionals and eventually become one. The profits will then begin to flow.

If you have no idea what you are doing, then you may as well just mail a cheque to those above-mentioned professionals and leave it at that, saving a lot of time.

On the other hand, after losing 'quite a bit' in the markets, I copied them and you could do the same. Learn their tricks. In short, study, study some more, then continue studying. As they say, 'knowledge is a powerful thing'.

Everything will then fall into place.

Where do I start?

Trading is very, very easy. Making a consistent profit is not - unless you have the plan we talked about earlier; a master plan. You need to learn, and sustain, some good habits. The primary weapon in your arsenal in fighting your opponents is getting the odds in your favour. Gaining an EDGE. Just like the casinos. Take a look at the house edge in the casino and how small it is. Something like 2.5%, this is enough to make them a fortune over time! It's just the same with trading the forex markets, get yourself an 'edge'.

Let's stay with the casino example for a moment. They often have losing days when a punter will win big, but at the final reckoning; those boys will be in the money. And that is because of the 'edge'. Your edge starts here. It's not one item to concentrate on but your whole approach to trading. Sound complicated? Not really, when you break it down into its component parts. We'll do this now with headings and sub-headings. There really is no point in doing this exercise if you only pay lip service to it. You must follow your rules because they will get you into the money, no argument.

Rules

There's no point in having trading rules if you don't follow them, which very nicely brings us to our only golden rule.

FOLLOW YOUR DEFINED RULES RIGIDLY

This rule may sound silly but think about it, how often do you break minor rules in some other pursuit such as driving, sport, work? Sometimes it can be costly, in forex it can be very expensive indeed, account-wise.

My forex rules are split into three sections, you may wish to do the same:

a) General - similar to laws

b) Trading - similar to regulations

c) System - well, rules when actually trading your system

Remember, this is a very short article on the ways that I have tackled the problem of gaining an edge in my trading, and in trying to emulate the professionals. This is by no means the only way, so you will need to address your trading traits in a similar manner to extract those profits from the market that we all aspire to. Let's look at the general rules.

The reason you are reading this is because you want to make money. I have been in your shoes doing exactly the same thing, but at the wrong end of an 8,000 account. Yes, all gone! It wasn't the first account that I had delivered to 'the professionals' so something HAD to be done. I made rules and divided them into sections, analysing them yet further. Here are my general rules that you may want to consider:

a) General rules

Work/study hard continuously, knowledge is essential, but

Strike a balance, have a life. Trading at all times will make you stale

Take responsibility for every decision that affects your trading

Self-belief in your aim, in what you are trying to achieve

Do you want to trade full time or part time, how many hours per day?

What IS your aim, what do you want to get out of it, know yourself?

The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary

Treat trading as a business and organise it as such

A whole book could be devoted to just the above section, this article cannot delve too deeply into what only you can answer for yourself. Please take the time to write down your rules and how you will address them. Your trading will evolve for the better I assure you.

b) Trading rules

What type of trader am I, do I want action, stress etc?

Have a system that fits your trading style

Become good at one style, tweak it to suit you

Keep an open mind for each and every trade

Do not form opinions on the market, let it tell you where it's going

Do not listen to the opinions of others

The words 'hope' and 'wish' are not in your trading vocabulary

Trade with money that is not indispensable, can you afford to lose it?

Learn to take losses as part of the business, learn from them

Take regular breaks from trading

Don't over commit yourself, not too many open positions

Stand aside if you are not sure about a trade

Do not add to losing positions

Keep the dollar signs away, try to score points

Without fail, have a trading plan and trade that plan

That last point in the list brings us to our final section in honing our trading skills, and making a living from trading the currency markets.

c) System rules

Most aspiring traders hope to win on every trade. This is just not possible and there will be losing trades. It is a fact of trading life. It should not be taken as a failing of your rules or system when these occur. Rather, it highlights how good your rules are in dealing with those losses. The aim is to win more than you lose by utilizing the 'edge' described in the previous paragraphs. This 'edge' is gained by following your rules religiously, coupled with a trading system that suits your style. I have managed to do this after almost ten years of trading and using many differing systems, styles, and techniques. We will add to your edge in this section. As a minimum your system should include:

What time frame you will be trading

The times not to trade

Clear and unambiguous means of entry into the trade

The reasons for entering and exiting the trade

What your means of exiting the trade will be

What size your stop loss should be

Will you use trailing stops

What position size will you use

Dealing with news announcements?

Will you scale out of the position etc. etc.

Each system has its own merits (or lack of) on dealing with the problems presented by the markets on a daily basis. Another example that I will mention is my own unwritten rule that I never trade on the first Friday of every month, this is when the NFP report is released and the markets tend to be a little too volatile for me. This is a lesson that I have learned the hard way (and I've paid for that lesson handsomely).

You can see, then, that your rules can evolve as your trading experience grows. You will also see that you will become more confident in your trading as you add rules to your overall trading system. Sometimes though these rules will be added after experiencing some drawback, or even a minor disaster, but this is all part of the learning process. You can bet your bottom dollar that the top traders amongst us have suffered a disaster or two along the way. The idea is to learn from those mistakes.

The trouble is that it's difficult to learn a lesson by the written word alone. Some form of interaction is best in order to firmly plant that lesson in our brain. This is where experience comes in. But, I firmly believe that these pages will get you started on the right path. My own system has very clear rules on the items mentioned above, plus many more, keeping me out of trouble when my money is on the line. Before I even pulled up a chart onto my computer, I started by asking myself what I actually wanted my new system to address by making a list. I already had most of the General, and Trading rules in place, in fact I have added to them fairly recently, but I wanted a whole new set of System rules. These are the items on my list that enabled me to build a new, easy to use, profitable system:

First and foremost it must trade with the trend

Must be good for all currency pairs

Must be good for all time frames

Must try to get me into the big moves of the day

Must be user friendly

Must be simple

Must utilize more than one of my strategies on the same chart

Must keep losses to a minimum

Must enable decision-making at a glance

I must be able to use aggressive/non-aggressive tactics

Must have a higher time frame and trend confirmation

Must have clear and unambiguous accurate entry signals

Must also give clear re-entry signals into trends

Must tell me when to exit

Must have multi-timeframe trading on one chart

Must give an audio alarm when signals are generated (important)

Must stop me from overtrading (important)

Must stop me from fishing for tops and bottoms (important)

Don't take any part of this set-up lightly, as it will definitely pay dividends at a later stage of the whole process. The last two items on the list had cost me dearly in the past. The audio alarm is to call me to the computer when a trade presents itself, this way I do not need to stare at the screen all day. No more missed opportunities. Perfect.

The biggest task was to convert those 'must haves' into a working system that enabled me to trade for a (profitable) living. This has been achieved after no small amount of work, blood, sweat, and tears! In some small way, I hope that I have given you a base on which to build your own trading strategy.

The Black Dog Trading Strategy goes from strength to strength. I wish you all the luck in your trading endeavors.

Is Forex Better Than Stocks? 3 Reasons Why It Is

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

Reason #1 Why Forex is Better Than Stocks Because:

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

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

Reason #2 Why Forex is Better Than Stocks:

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

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

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

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

Reason #3 Why Forex is Better Than Stocks:

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

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

Is Foreign Exchange Trading Profitable

I'm here to answer the question, is foreign exchange trading profitable? The answer to this question is yes. A lot of people think that this might be some sort of scam, but this market has been around for a long time. It's just the last decade that individual people were given the right to trade in it from their own home. It's a continuously growing market with over three trillion dollars a day moving around. It is definitely a profitable market for most people and I'll share some of my experiences on how to get it to work for you.

The first thing about starting out in this market is having a great broker. A broker acts as the middleman between you and the marketplace. It holds your money and makes the trades when you request them. The problem (like many on the internet) is that you can't really tell the difference in websites from legit businesses and some operation run out of a basement. Obviously when it comes to your money, you want to have the quality similar to a bank. I found the best way to research these brokers is online forex forums. There is constant discussion about them and you just have to read through threads to learn which ones are good, bad and scams.

My last tip is on demo accounts. Is foreign exchange trading easy? Yes and no. I prefer to think of it as a process with a learning curve that takes time. A demo account is an excellent tool to start using now, without having to risk any money on the market. You get to have simulated experience of actual trades, the only difference is you don't use real money. It builds confidence and allows you to figure out what you need to do.

Forex Trading Education - Understanding the Lingo Part 1

When learning anything new there are usually a few words or terms you don't understand so I'll do my best to clear those up. When I first heard the word "pip" I thought it was just something English people said; I don't really know why. Try saying it with an English accent aloud right now, the more people in the room the better. Now say it twice and add a "jolly hoe" to the end (in the English accent of course). Hah, now that's good stuff.

I'll start with the obvious terms, those being "major and minor currencies". As you may have guessed major currencies are the 8 most-traded currencies (USD, JPY, CAD, EUR, GBP, CHF, NZD and AUD); incase you aren't sure that's US dollars, Japanese yen, Canadian dollars, Euro, British pound, Swiss Franc, New Zealand dollars and Australian dollars. Minor currencies are all the other currencies (who'da thunk it?).

Base currency would be the first currency in any pair; it shows how much the base is worth against the secondary currency. Like if the USD/JPY rate equals 108.0263 then one USD is worth 108.0263 JPY. Typically in Forex markets the USD is the base currency for quotes; exceptions to this are the GBP, EUR, AUD and NZD.

Next we have quote currency; this is the secondary currency in any pair, it's often called the "pip currency" as well.

What is a pip? A pip (stop saying it in an English accent!) is the smallest unit price for any currency. Almost all currency pairs have five significant digits and a lot of them have the decimal point after the first digit (as you can see above, JPY is a big exception). Like if EUR/USD equals 1.5448 (which it currently does) a single pip equals the smallest change in the fourth decimal place (that being 0.0001). That means if the quote currency (or secondary currency in one pair) is USD, one pip will always equal 1/100 of a cent. Pretty simple right?

Forex Trading Just Got a Lot Easier - Forex Automated Trading Software

If you have been trading on the forex market then you know how exhausting it can be to keep track of. The alternative is loosening up on the whole thing and unfortunately seeing your profits go with it. They say necessity is the mother of invention and hence the reason that forex automated trading software has become so popular in recent years. Trading software is on the incline as an estimated 25% of all forex traders are running auto forex campaigns now in 2008 which is up from the 18% that were reportedly doing it in 2005. There are a number of reasons which traders make use of forex automated trading software in their auto forex enterprise.

A big reason is the fact that these programs work tirelessly for you every day and night. It would be near impossible to stay on stop of the ever changing and dynamic forex market constantly, particularly as the market practically never closes. Instead, these programs trade on your behalf using stop loss and take profit protocols, thus minimizing your losses and maximizing your profits. This ensures that you are on the winning side of a trade almost 100% of the time without you having see over it yourself.

Some traders employ forex automated trading software for the accuracy which makes the biggest difference in your forex enterprise. These programs generate signals which essentially predict what certain forex pairs are going to do next and then trade accordingly for you. They make use of complex mathematical algorithms which is an improvement from the old way of doing things when expert analysts would read the market and do the math work by hand or worse make predictions from guesswork. While this worked at the time, it was far from perfect. These programs take out the possibility of human error and emotion to make cold, calculated trades for you. The best of these programs are incredibly accurate and offer updates to continually make them better and more accurate to keep them in front. As they say, when companies compete, it is the consumer who comes out the winner.

As I said, there are a number of differing programs on the market today. Some are sloppily thrown together products just out to capture your eye and your buck, whereas there are a small number of winners who are single handedly keeping this market alive. After testing a number of these programs, I set up a website where I review forex automated trading software at http://www.forexautotradingreviewed.com which I advise you visit and do some reading to determine which product is best for you in building up your forex enterprise.

Booking profits and making money by trading in forex is no longer restricted to experts - ordinary people like you and me can make profits by using readily available forex trading tutorials, some of which are available online.

The players in this trading system are major financial institutions, central banks, retail currency traders, speculators, large international companies, government institutions, companies with overseas operations etc. The trading instructions are exchanged via global network system over telephone or computers.

Majority of forex trading tutorial with the purpose of educating the users on how to forex trade emphasize and begin with the basics of forex which are:

Each world currency is denoted by a uniform three letter code which is used in forex quotes by all involved. Normally instruments which are traded by forex traders/ investors are currency pairs. A currency pair is the exchange rate of one currency over another. The most traded currency pairs are EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, AUD/USD.

Trade can happen only when you compare one currency with another. To quote an example - you cannot trade by buying and selling USD alone. You need to compare the USD rate to any other world currency rate if you desire to undertake a forex transaction. In the above example say you may wish to sell USD and purchase EUR against it. Forex trade will happen when you accept the price offered for this transaction by your dealer. To continue with our example upon receipt of your concurrence to the price quote, the dealer will actually buy and sell as per your instruction and confirm the price for this trade transaction involving sale of USD and purchase of EUR.

Forex trading tutorial give detailed explanation of some of the technical terminologies also. For example technical terminology for first currency of a currency pair is base currency which is USD in the referred example. The second currency is referred to as the counter or quote currency. Each currency pair is expressed in units of the counter currency needed to get one unit of the base currency.

Forex trading tutorial are indeed of great help in getting us started. However a word of caution here. While trading in currencies take care to ensure that you trade only when you expect the currency you are buying to increase in value relative to the currency you are selling. If the currency you are buying does increase in value, you must sell back the other currency in order to lock in a profit.

Online FOREX Trading - 3 Common Errors That Will Make You Lose

Online FOREX Trading was seen as the way for the little guy to compete with the big professional traders but guess what?

The ratio of losers remains them same as it was before the rise of online FOREX trading.

How can this be so surely they should do better? The answer is no because traders make these common errors.

1. Blinded by technology

This happens to many novice traders they see the vast amount of news and indicators at their disposal and think they have technology on their side and will win.

Most over complicate their trading and lose.

Simplicity is the key to trading and this was so before the rise of online trading and is still true today.

There is no correlation between how complicated a system is and how much money it makes.

In fact, simple systems are best as they more robust in the face of brutal market conditions.

2. Day trading and over trading

The rise of online forex trading has seen the bulk of new traders try and make money day trading.

This is a huge mistake.

Day trading doesnt work, as the logic its based upon is nonsense.

Day traders have no reliable data to work with.

It's obvious that daily moves are random as daily volatility is random!

Day traders argue that trading short term is possible with online forex trading but this is not true you cant win if you cant calculate the odds.

Dont believe me?

Ask any day trader for a real time track record of profits, they have made over the longer term and you wont get one because it doesnt work PERIOD

3. Money management

The speed of the Internet in delivering information has increased volatility.

This means that traders have to be far more careful with money management than before.

Most traders in online forex trading are trying to restrict risk so much that they almost guarantee they will be stopped out and lose.

If you want to make money in forex trading your stops cannot be to tight or volatility will simply stop you out.

You need to take risks to make profits and this is as true as its ever been.

Placing stops close to entry may keep your losses small, but whats the point of that if you are almost guaranteeing yourself that you will are stopped out?

To make money you need to risk it Its as simple as that.

The tools need to be applied correctly!

Online forex trading is seen as a way for the little man to compete on an equal footing with the big players but nothing could be further from the truth.

Online forex trading has lured many traders into a false sense of security where they think because they have all the tools they can win (but they dont learn how to apply them)

Additionally, they think they can now catch short term moves and engage in the best way to lose money in forex day trading.

Finally, they think they dont need to take big risks to make big gains and end up eroding their accounts with consistent losses - all small but they add up.

Online forex trading has not seen any increase in small speculators winning and the three reasons above are the major ones why

Forex Trading Success - Do You Have What it Takes to Win?

What makes you think you can win when 95% of traders lose money? Here is a checklist for you to see your chances of succeeding as a forex trader and being one of the elite traders, who make huge long term profits.

Here are some ways to lose money if you are thinking of tying any of them you may wish to change your mind now to avoid losses and continue your forex education!

1. Following a Forex Robot with Simulated Gains

They promise you that you will achieve success with no effort and ask you to accept there track records that are simulated going backwards. Try them and your equity will get destroyed.

2. Day trading and Scalping

Simply doesn't work, as all short term volatility is random. The people selling these always have simulated track records like the robots just mentioned.

There are more but they all fall into the category of trying to find someone else to give you success and this doesn't work in forex markets.

Not only do you need a trading edge, you also have to understand how and why it will lead you to success - lets look at this in more detail.

Success Comes From Within

Forex trading is essentially a combination of a simple robust system which you understand and can trade with discipline.

To trade with discipline, you need to know what you are doing. This means having confidence and you don't get confidence from someone telling you what to do - but from your own knowledge and learning.

Discipline & Losses

Discipline is hard, as you have to keep executing trading signals through losing periods, until you hit a home run, even when the market is making you a fool and taking your money.

A Trading Edge

This is what separates out your forex trading system from the 95% of losers. Ask yourself what is your trading edge and how will it help you beat the majority?

Don't know what it is then you don't have one!

Forex trading looks simple yet few succeed and the ones that do have these elements in their forex trading strategy

- They use simple robust forex trading system

- They have solid grounding in the basics of forex trading

- They know exactly why their system will lead them to success

- They have confidence and discipline to stick with their plan

- They know they are responsible for their Forex trading success no one else

Forex trading requires you stand alone and have confidence in what you are doing and the discipline to follow your plan.

Success is in YOUR Hands

It sounds simple and it is if you approach forex trading with the right mindset and get the right education. In forex trading the market doesn't beat the trader the trader beats himself.

If you want to enjoy currency trading success - learn the basics, get a system, get confident, get an edge and be disciplined!

The Differences in Forex Trading Styles

Forex trading is becoming more and more popular. More people are starting to trade in the forex market every day. One of the reasons for the gain in popularity, is the way that the internet has made forex trading convenient and accessible, with forex trading sites popping up all over the web.

Forex trading is the buying and selling of foreign currencies. Many see it as an alternative to stocks and mutual funds, since currencies are much more liquid than stocks. Companies that deal in forex trading for their investments, by buying foreign currencies will have those currencies available if they decide to expand into foreign markets. Another advantage that forex has over stocks is that the trading window is much larger. Stocks are bought and sold only when the stock market is open. Forex may be traded 24 hours a day, Monday through Friday.

The forex market offers different types of forex trading. These different types of trading may seem very similar to each other, but they are in fact different. Each type of trading has its advantages and disadvantages. If you plan on entering the forex market, you should know the differences.

Traditional forex trading one of the common methods. Traditional trading involves buying a currency at a low rate, and then either selling it for a higher price, or exchanging it for another currency when the exchange rates rise.

Spread betting is probably the most common type of trading, even though it differs from the way that forex trading is normally done. It does not involve buying or selling currencies as in the traditional method. Spread betting involves betting on whether a currency will appreciate or depreciate. Despite the image of gambling, many people feel that this method is a good way to earn money in forex market.

Day trading is a notorious type of forex trading. Similar to day trading in the stock market, this method involves buying and selling currencies for one day, rather than holding on to them and waiting for them to appreciate in value. This type of trading can be risky, but can also yield some good results. Because of the risk, however, many experts do not get involved in this style of trading.

Auto trading is an automatic trading system, as you may probably guess from the name. With this method, an investor will invest in a platform that will automatically execute trades depending on its analysis. In this style of trading, the investor can save money since there are no commission and transaction fees. Some people, though, are not comfortable letting a computer handle the trading. They are more comfortable doing the trading themselves.

As with any investment, there is some risk. If you know what you're doing, however, there are much lower risks in forex trading than investing in the stock market. Before you get involved in trading currencies, read up on the market. Know how the trading is done, and what signals to watch for. Knowing forex trading, and knowing the signals will help to minimize the risks of investing.

You have to understand that the news is a great free resource that can really giving information that a consultant would give you. The thing about the news is that it doesn't talk in forex terms, but it really isn't hard to figure out how to translate it to the forex community. To make money trading currency watch your business channel that will announce important economic information. Any announcement by the central bank, economic growth, consumer spending, etc all play a vital role in the price of a currency. Typically if they're good for the economy, they're good for the currency. Vice versa applies as well. The only difference is in the central bank. When interest rates are cut, which is typically a economic stimulating position, the currency will drop in price. When interest rates are raised, which is typically a economic cooling position, the currency will go up.

You'll as want to take the time to get yourself familiarized with trading software. A lot of these can help you out with trading especially if you're new and hold onto a full time job. I know when I started out, I couldn't watch all my trades while I was at work, so I got software and it made sure that all my trades were protected completely.

How to Ace the Currency Market With a Forex Trading System

It's a deliciously tempting scenario; you're sitting in the comfort of your home in front of your computer trading forex online. You cast an expert eye over the running digits and shifting charts on your screen and soon a deftly executed order floods you bank account with cash. You give thanks for the lucrative world of online currency trading.

After all, the figures are seductive - as you read more about forex you'll discover it's the biggest market in the world, trillions traded daily, fantastic leverage, just put down $1000 and trade with $100000 and so on. It all sounds like financial nirvana and you've just stumbled onto the keys to the kingdom. Soon it will be all yours.

But then the doubts set in. As you research more you start reading things like '95% of trader fail'. And maybe you start to wonder why large financial institutions such as banks staffed with teams of very bright and highly educated and experienced people don't just milk the forex market for a never ending stream of cash. Could it be they know something you don't?

The fact is trading the forex market is a very difficult undertaking whatever the hype-filled sales pages for books, courses and currency trading systems may tell you. It demands a wealth of knowledge and experience like any other profession.

But more importantly it also requires an almost zen-like ability to control your emotions both in the turmoil of the market and in the aftermath of a trade whether good or bad. Controlling the exuberance of winning or the anger and depression of loss are crucial to your success as a trader.

One option is a to use a proven forex trading system, one that tells you when to enter the market and perhaps even more importantly when to exit. Having a forex trading systems also helps to manage the emotional aspect of currency trading. Without one you're at the mercy of the market's mood.

A good currency trading system allows you to trade without doubt or hesitation as all your moves are laid out for you in advance. This has tremendous benefits in reducing stress as all the turmoil and confusion of the market is reduced to a simple set of rules you follow. You no longer have to agonize over interpretation.

Unless you want to spend your whole day poring over charts it's best to pick a system that is "set and forget". In other words, you check at a certain time of day for the signals and if they're favorable, you make your trade and leave it run its course. You can check back the next day to hopefully count your profits. If the signals aren't there, you don't trade for that day.

If you decide to enter the exciting world of forex trading, make sure you acquire or develop a solid and proven system. It makes all the difference between acing the market and losing all you money.

Which Stocks to Invest In

How do you know which stocks to invest in? There are literally hundreds of thousands of stocks out there available on the stock market, just waiting for you to buy shares in them, with the promise of making you money if you hold onto their stock long enough.

Unless you have a particularly strong disposition to one particular industry, you might it find it next to impossible to find the perfect stock to invest in. How do you know which stock will earn you money? How do you know which stock will lose you money? It almost seems like gambling to invest in stocks, doesn't it?

You may have heard many stock analysts exhort you to "do your homework". Check a company's P/E (price to earnings) ratios and read their financial reports.

But even if you do that, you can still lose money, because you don't really know the nitty gritty details of the company's health and you certainly don't have the bigger picture of the company's overall performance since it first started trading publicly on the market.

Now, imagine having to do your "homework" for dozens and dozens of stocks, to find the one that is right for you. Even if you find one that you like, what if the price per share is too high? If you only have a limited budget with which to invest, and each share is too expensive, what is the point of investing if you can only buy one or two shares of a stock?

Perhaps the answer lies in the use of computers. There are computer programs out there that are programmed to analyze hundreds of thousands of stocks on the market and analyze them for their past performance, their daily trading volume, their highs and lows, their splits, and many other dimensions of data. Based on their analysis, they are able to perform millions of computations per second and identify which stocks have the highest statistical probability of surging in value in the upcoming time horizon.

What Is The Forex Assassin System And How Does It Work?

Forex Assassin is a good trading system for you and your lifestyle The problem is
do you really want to spend countless hour in front of your computer screen to watch the market trends, only to see that what is working to a professional traders don't seem to work for average Joe who is sitting at home and try to make some money out of trading currency market? There are lots of trading systems out there, recently there are more and more robots introduced to the market and for the little guy out there.

These robots take a trading formula and find all your profit and, if you leave it running , it's stop the losses for you automatically. The downside with this, is that market conditions change every day, so you still have to monitor them to make sure you are profitable.

Is there any good trading system to use?

I saw so many good forex trading systems lately which promise you to make lots of pips, and most of them they do. However, it requires big effort in gathering the data which you must input to make the system work. This is one of the reason I love Forex Assassin system. It requires you only to introduce the price data, i.e. USD/EUR , USD/GDB OR EUR/GDB, and that's it.You only need to find these data, not spend so much time in studding the charts.

How does it work?

Forex Assassin trading system is a very easy and simple, yet effective way of trading currency market. It is using a completely time driven strategy that uses time zone, so you can utilise it even if you have a day time zone. This is a big relief, as many people cannot take the risk of being full-time forex trader, at least at the beginning.

So, using the price of currency pairs that I searched for, I input the data into the formula spread sheet that the system provided me with, and after that it will calculate me the profit and stop losses points. No more overloads of information with which you don't know what to do and how to use it.
