FOREX 101: Make Money with Currency Trading
2008-02-03 13:22:00
For those unfamiliar with the term, Forex (FOReign EXchange market), refers to an international exchange market where currencies are bought and sold. The Foreign Exchange Market that we see today began in the 1970's, when free exchange rates and floating currencies were introduced. In such an environment only participants in the market determine the price of one currency against another, based upon supply and demand for that currency.Forex is a somewhat unique market for a number of reasons. Firstly, it is one of the few markets in which it can be said with very few qualifications that it is free of external controls and that it cannot be manipulated. It is also the largest liquid financial market, with trade reaching between 1 and 1.5 trillion US dollars a day. With this much money moving

Advantages of the Forex Market
2008-02-03 13:19:00
What are the advantages of the Forex Market over other types of investments?When thinking about various investments, there is one investment vehicle that comes to mind. The Forex or Foreign Currency Market has many advantages over other types of investments. The Forex market is open 24 hrs a day, unlike the regular stock markets. Most investments require a substantial amount of capital before you can take advantage of an investment opportunity. To trade Forex, you only need a small amount of capital. Anyone can enter the market with as little as $300 USD to trade a "mini account", which allows you to trade lots of 10,000 units. One lot of 10,000 units of currency is equal to 1 contract. Each "pip" or move up or down in the currency pair is worth a $1 gain or loss, depending on which side o

What is Forex?
2008-02-03 13:09:00
FOREX - the foreign exchange market or currency market or Forex is the market where one currency is traded for another. It is one of the largest markets in the world.Some of the participants in this market are simply seeking to exchange a foreign currency for their own, like multinational corporations which must pay wages and other expenses in different nations than they sell products in.

Making Money At Home With Clickbank Elite : A Product Review
2008-01-26 10:02:00
An easy way to start making money at home almost effortlessly with your online business is to set up a Clickbank website. This site would offer electronic products available through the Clickbank marketplace that you can sell as an affiliate and earn commissions from. Clickbank is probably the best way online to sell affiliate products. I wouldn't say that Clickbank is a business for making money at home in itself. Rather, it is something that allows you earn extra cash, big or small, from product sales to boost your regular online business income. In my opinion, it should be used as a supplement to your internet business, not as your only means of generating income. I say that because an online business is more than just selling products and services to make money at home. A business mean

Canadian Employment Boom Stalls, The Loonie Has A
2008-01-25 16:51:00
Canadian Employment Boom Stalls, The Loonie Has A The top market moving currency last week was without doubt the Canadian dollar. Though USDCAD didn’t see the largest percentage change among the majors (deferring that title to AUDUSD and NZDUSD), its sharp, end of the week move and the dramatic shift in fundamentals certainly won it a place of honor among volatility traders. The pair began the week with its usual chop as the first few trading days didn’t see any economic indicators, commodity markets had stalled in their respective advances and the greenback was treading water. All that changed on Wednesday though. In the past few weeks, forecasts for strong Canadian growth had already taken a serious blow when the physical trade balance contracted to its smallest positive balance sinc

My Initial Experience
2007-08-13 15:28:00
So I started in January with an fx game account on oanda.com. They give you $100,000 to start with, so I started playing. First thing I learned was that all forex trading is or can be leveraged. My initial settings were 20:1. I bought a couple thousand dollars worth of something like USD/AUD or JPY/AUD because I had read a post about how good they have been. I had good success initially. everything I bought was going up. So I sold some things and bought more. I would sell once soemthing went up 20-40 pips. (First I learned what a pip was). Then I started figuring things out. I changed my leverage ratio to 50:1. So for every dollar I bought of something I was actually trading $50. assuming 10 pips equals 10 cents, I was earning 10 cents on one dollar. I realized, hey this is good stuff. If


My Personal Theory for the future of Forex Trading
2007-08-13 15:25:00
I have two theories: First, there are sophisiticated investors out there in the world. Years ago those investors were targeting stocks some got into short trading, others researched financial information and made calculated bets on long positions. These sophisticated investors also know when to sell. Enter the common investor, unfortunately this common investor usually gets the memo about what is working and what isn't working a few years too late. Once the common investor enters the sophisticated investor leaves. When you have a theory or methodology that works on a small scale in a large public market, chances are that once the larger public market figures it out and implements it as there own the returns become minimalized. The sophisticated investor moves on before any real damage is d

My Initial Experience - Continued
2007-08-13 15:22:00
So I'm up $200 off of $1,000 in the first 2 weeks. Then something happened. The bottom fell out of the JPY. All of my positions went negative. My broker margin called me. I ended up with $500 in my account. I lost $700 because of leverage in 3 days. That hurt. How did that happen. What did I do wrong. Well first of all my picks are based on a one day chart. If it looks high based on the last few months I'll short the trade. If it is low, I'll buy. My problem is that I haven't been patient at all. I read on a post that you should trade around 5% of your account value on each trade. Initially I thought that is a great idea. Problem is that I was too impatient. Something that looks really high I would go in more like 20-30% of NAV. The other problem is that I don't like having money in the ac


starting over
2007-08-13 15:01:00
So I got out of all my trades and decided to start over. I'm down $500. I do however have something on my side. The reason I got into foreign exchange trading is because a friend of mine is developing software that will click you into trades based on news announcements. I got to preview the software yesterday for the NZD announcement. It was awesome. I went all in and I'm up $160 from $500. The greatest part about it is that the software will not get you into a bad trade. I'm excited to get my copy of the software. I'll keep ya'll posted on how it is going based on this software.

Forex - You Need A Real System !Although it has been some years since I was actively involved in trading, I have just returned to the markets and have begun to trade a small account on my own behalf. This has perhaps given me a slightly skewed perspective of the markets, almost like a new entrant, but one with a lot of experience.There have been some big changes whilst I have been inactive, not least in the number of online brokerages fighting for every dollar.But many things stay the same, at the heart of which is one, I guess, unbreakable truth.
