If you are someone who’s really looking into the prospects of trading your money in the Forex market,
you have to consider that you could incur loses if you take the plunge before knowing what is really involved in trading currencies. Take some time to educate yourself first. There are many only Forex trading games that don’t need to involve real money to learn the basics of trading. What you are going to be facing in the actual trading are the exchange of currencies from one country’s currency to another. These currencies are slightly valued more of less – although there are some that the disparity is huge – than the other. Governments, banks, small brokers, and big time financial institutions use Forex as a means to accumulate, too.
In order for you to start learning, find yourself software that will allow you to trade make-believed money. The software companies offering these programs to you will ask you some personal information (only those that you can give in public) and your particular interest in the market before you can install the system on your computer. The game will allow you to feel what it’s like to gain and lose money as you trade currency with your make-believed sum. You will use real time exchange rate and real time data so that your learning about how the markets behave and how different currencies move in the market is at maximum.
Your game account will also allow you to view the latest Forex news about how the different economies are doing. You can see in real time how your profit grows – or false – following the actual trading that’s happening in the real market. You’ll only need to play few times a week, or as often as you want and then you’ll be prepared to do the actual trading with real money. It’s also advisable to ask advice from real brokers and financial companies while you play the game because you need to do this, too, when you’re doing the actual trading. You also need to gather about the latest on different markets around the world and how their currencies are doing before you make your judgment.
If you’re ready to do the actual trade, be sure that you consult only reputable brokers and financial institutions to entrust your money onto. Be careful also with the rise of online companies offering to broker your currency trading needs. Most of these fly-by-night online brokers are just exploiting the clamor of the people to have easy access on currency trading but what they’re really after is to steal your money from you. Bear in mind that only legitimate brokers and financial institutions can bring you the gain you are wanting for in Forex, and these people and institutions are jus around in your country. You must also understand that there are laws and regulations that govern currency trading. For instance, the United States has one of the most well-defined guidelines in trading; perhaps the most advanced in the world

Investing Money in the Forex Market
Reading a Chart and Acting Effectively
Technical analysis is a guide that tells you, in simple understandable language, how to choose the right charts, reading these charts correctly, and act effectively in the market from what you see on these charts.
Probably most of you have taken a course or studied the use of charts in the past. This should add to your knowledge about choosing the right carts and reading these charts correctly. There are several good charting packages available free. I use and what I recommend you "Netdania". Using Charts Effectively The default number of periods on these charts is 300. Here are a few good starting points if you are new to charting and technical analysis: Hourly chart that's about 12 days of data, 15 minute chart its 3 days of data, 5-minute chart it's slightly more than 24 hours of data.

Understanding the risks in Forex trading
Forex: To trade, or not to trade?
Many are reluctant to involve in Forex trading because of its ‘risks’. Generally speaking, there are risks everywhere in our life: Factories may malfunction, customer may not walk-in if you open a shop, stock market may crush, and if you are employed you may get fired during company downsizing. There are risks everywhere! The important issue here is how you learn and maintain your risk. So if you are considering participating in Forex market, you should learn managing the risk involved, instead of being terrified.
Picking up the right Forex dealer
One of the best methods to avoid unnecessary risks is avoid fraud dealer.
Forex is a special trading business with no centralized market. Thus, unlike regulated futures exchanges, there is no central market place for Forex buyers or sellers therefore the price offered by different Forex dealers may vary a lot. When you are trading in Forex market, you are totally relying on the dealer’s integrity for a fair deal.
Further more, you need to select a right Forex dealer to avoid scams. There may be Forex dealers that are not regulated legally and there maybe investment scams, especially on the Internet. Be very careful on who you are dealing with in Forex and always check cautiously on the investment offer.
Stop loss order
The Forex market could move against you. No one can predict with certainty which way exchange rates will go, and the Forex market is volatile. Fluctuations in the foreign exchange rate between the time you place the trade and the time you attempt to liquidate it will affect the price of your Forex contract and the potential profit and losses relating to it. To avoid losing all of your investment capital, you should have a pre-arrangement on your risk profile. A solid risk profile will limit the Forex dealer not to overtake risk that you cannot handle. For example, if you have 100,000 to invest, you can say that you are willing to risk 10,000 of that capital with the potential to gain another 100,000. This can be easily implemented by a fund manager, so your losses can be limited to 10% or 5% of invested capital.

Fundamental analysis and Technical analysis in Forex
Fundamental Analysis refers to the study of the core underlying elements that influence the economy of a particular entity.
As in Forex trading, government policies, bank policies, natural disasters, and speculators mood are some of the fundamentals considered to predict the currency market trends. Fundamental FOREX traders will review a country economy's situation base on these fundamental elements and respond accordingly. To gain max, fundamentalists often apply precise method to convert study's results into accurate entry/exit price indicator.
Technical Analysis, on the other hand, is a completely different story. Instead of reviewing on the fundamental issues, traders from the technical side define market movement according to data purely generated from the market. The term 'Technical' is applied in all trading fields, from commodity stocks exchange to option trading, from Forex to futures.
Generally, the purpose of technical analysis is to find potential price reversal or pivotal points. These points basically refer the change of market trends, which then indicates when to enter or exit from the market. It is important to know that as with any other techniques in your trading system, these technical analysis indicators could be used alone or with other indicators. Traders are always recommended to learn more different technical methods to analyze different market data because none of these techniques are 100% accurate and 100% foolproof. Taking example of the 'price' data and the 'time' data, which are widely used by FOREX trader.
There are some techniques consider solely on the 'price' factor, while some solely rely on the 'time' factor. The fact is if you know both technical methods, you can take both price and time into consideration during estimating market future trends. This will of course then reduce the risks of losing money in Forex market. Also, it would be wise if traders combine both technical and fundamental techniques when trading Forex, as a country currency value depends a lot on fundamental variables such as war, change of national leaders, terrorism attacks, as well as natural disasters.

Facts about Forex market
As a matter of fact, large international banks are still the major traders in currency exchange market. Deutsche Bank is one of the top currency traders; along with other major banks like UBS, Citi Group, HSBC, Barclays, J. P. Morgan Chase, Coldman Sachs, ABN Amro, Morgan Stanley, and Merril Lynch; these banks are said to be responsible for more than 70% trades in currency market.
When you are trading Forex with currency dealer, the Forex quotes might look a bit different from our previous example. Often, a two-sided quote, consisting of 'bid' and 'ask' price, is listed when dealing with currency brokers. For example, EUR/USD 1.2385/1.2390: 1.2385 is known as the 'bid' price while 1.2390 is commonly known as the 'ask' or 'buy' price. The 'bid' is the price at which you can sell the base currency; while the 'ask' is the price at which you can buy the base currency. As you study the numbers, you might realize that the two-sided currency price is quoted against you. Traders are forced to buy the currency in a higher price than the selling one.
This is done because FOREX trades are done without any commission chargers. Thru quoting currency 'bid & ask' price differently in this way, the currency brokers are manage to make profit without charging their client commission fees directly.

How currency exchange (FOREX) market works
bet you are well aware of the existent of Forex trading nowadays.
Forex market exists wherever one currency is traded for another. Forex, or Foreign Exchange Market, is generally works as an international currency exchange market. Investors and speculators are allowed to trade currencies from all around the world thru Forex trading.
Forex is a very unique type of trading where traders are buying and selling 'money' in the same time. The trades are done in pairs, such as Euro/JPY, USD/CHF, and CAD/USD. It is the world largest trading market where an average of $1.9 trillion trades is done on a daily basis. The turnover rates in FOREX are nearly 30 times larger than the total volume of equity trades in United States.
Despite its large volume of trades done daily, Forex is relative new to the publics nonetheless. It is only made available to publics in year 1998 where big sized inter-bank units are sliced into smaller pieces and offered to individual traders like you and me. Before that, Forex is a game only for banks, multi national cooperation, and big currency dealers. Only those with large business size and strong financial background were permitted to trade foreign currencies

2. Learn the different currencies. This does not take long but familiarity is a relative term and the degree that you can understand the currency you are trading will be the degree of success that you attain ultimately.
3. Learn how to use technical indicators. This is a very important area that cannot be ignored. In fact, if you can learn just two complimentary indicators then you have a very good chance of making consistent profits.

A return to value
What has intrinsic value ? Artwork, no matter how creative, has no intrinsic value. Designer jeans,
no matter how fashionable, have value the same as Levi 501 in terms of their use-value. In an inflated economy when money is pouring out of consumers wallets, they may pay any price for something with no value at all, such as a $1,000 pizza ; but that does not make a pizza worth more than the ingredients and labor.
A re-pricing of assets has begun, and a revaluation of money itself. A safe bet is to invest in anything that has intrinsic value. A power generator, no matter how ugly, can create energy and life. A vase from the Ming dynasty, no matter how beautiful, will not help freezing homeowners in the Northeast.

Automated Trading Systems
As a contrast to investing, investors can place money in fully automated trading systems for any market.
Elite E Services specializes in FX, but systems’ trading is very popular for futures, stocks, and almost any electronic market. The advantage of trading these systems is that it does not depend on market direction if the system is profitable. Of course, not all systems are good systems, so one must be very careful when evaluating them. However, a good system should perform consistently, and have an account protection to save the account from catastrophic drawdowns. Systems like this do exist, and there are rankings of such systems available on many websites. Short term systems have less risk of getting caught in choppy markets or losing the ability to predict trends over the medium or long term.
In a complex market environment, only an intelligent trading system can make dynamic decisions in seconds. As the markets become more volatile and complex, as indicated by a trend in the VIX,

Moving to a trans-industrial paradigm
Moving to a trans-industrial paradigm
Depression.. or collapse of industrial system?
Why is there an underlying assumption that a market collapse and financial meltdown needs to be a bad thing? Doom and gloom is all the talk , as if the only positive thing is when the markets are going up. Many believe that increasing markets are ‘healthy’ and declining markets need ‘fixing’. Isn’t the idea of pure market capitalism that the markets determine the prices freely, i.e. what market participants are willing to (and can afford) to pay, not what sellers would like prices to be? Is it a question of what is vs. what should be? Every seller would like a higher price, but their dreams about higher prices are only justified by people willing to pay the price.
Short sellers have known for a long time the profits that can be made in declining markets. Catastrophe is opportunity; it is the birth of modern day fortunes such as Rockefellers and Morgans. These noble houses were not crafty geniuses who invented the cure for cancer, they were shrewd, well-informed executives who were at the right place at the right time, and they had the cash to strike.
In fact, it is much easier to profit from calamity than success, because of the predictability and calculability of crises . Success is more difficult to predict, and you do not have a measure of how successful a company can be. If a company goes IPO at $20 per share, and you expect them to increase, the price could go to $50 or $500 like Google. However, if you expect bankruptcy, you have a ground floor at zero. In addition, the statistics are in your favor, 95% of all businesses in USA fail . Knowing that, it makes sense statistically to bet on failure rather than success.
Stocks have the tendency to swing upwards less on hype than downwards on fear. Example, if there is a rumor that the FDA will approve a new drug for a drug company, it may increase by 5%. However, if the existing business vanishes due to a lawsuit because their latest drug has a terrible side effect, it could drop into oblivion and possibly bankrupt the company.
“You want to profit at the expense of others?”
First, short selling a company stock is not profiting at the expense of the company. In fact, if management proves a short seller wrong, a short seller can lose a lot in a short squeeze. Short squeezes account for large upswings in declining shares that otherwise might not exist. If a company is successful and the balance sheets are clean, there is no mechanism for a short seller to profit. Secondly, there are many other opportunities to make money in a collapse than short selling.
Commodities
The commodity boom has been obvious after the fact, but some, like Jim Rogers, were predicting it from the beginning. It is far from over if you can understand the basic fact that in a depression there is scarcity, and with scarcity comes increased demand and increased price. The commodity bubble is not a traditional bubble and commodities are not inflated, they are reverting to real prices based on demand. As global warming affects crops and real demand for hard commodities increases, there will be huge trading opportunities in the commodities markets .
Distressed equity
Companies hurt by a failing industrial system will turn to anyone with cash to keep the business afloat, and those investors can make hefty demands. There will be a fire sale of businesses and hard assets because they will be essentially worthless, as companies will face hard times to turn those assets into revenue . However, the assets are not worthless, so there will be a value play in purchasing distressed assets in many forms: equity, real estate, debt. Anyone who is financially desperate selling their family heirlooms on eBay understands there is someone getting value for 5 cents on the dollar.

The purpose of this article is to reveal 12 interesting facts about the Forex trading market.
1. What is a Forex trading system? According to Howard Abell, "The [Forex] trading system gives the trader the ability to control his or her emotional states rather than allowing them to control him. A [Forex trading] system is a disciplined method for organizing dynamic, ever-changing market phenomena."
2. Forex is the most liquid market in the world, thus making it easy to trade most currencies.
3. Unlike equities or futures trading, you pay no commissions on the Forex deals that you make.
4. According to the Wall Street Journal Europe, the most commonly traded currencies on the Forex market are the U.S. Dollar (USD), the Japanese Yen (JPY), the Euro (EUR), the British Pound (GPB), the Canadian Dollar (CAD), the Australian Dollar (AUD), and the Swiss Franc (CHF).
5. The most commonly traded currency pairs are the U.S. Dollar and the Japanese Yen, the U.S. Dollar and the Euro, and the U.S. Dollar and the Swiss Franc.
6. The U.S. Dollar is involved in nearly 90% of all Forex transactions.
7. Ten financial institutions account for nearly 73% of the total Forex trading market volume. The Top 10 most active traders include Deutsche Bank (17.0%), UBS (12.5%), Citigroup (7.5%), HSBC (6.4%), Barclays (5.9%), Merrill Lynch (5.7%), J. P. Morgan Chase (5.3%), Goldman Sachs (4.4%), ABN AMRO (4.2%), and Morgan Stanley (3.9%).
8. The five major Forex trading centers are London, New York, Tokyo, Sydney, and Frankfurt.
9. The three major Forex trading countries are the United Kingdom (32.4%), the United States (18.2%), and Japan (7.6%).
10. Currency market players typically use "Forex analysis" as a means of predicting currency price movements. Forex analysis is divided into two types: fundamental and technical. A fundamental analysis uses economic and political factors, such as unemployment rates, interest rates, or inflation, as a means of predicting currency movements. A technical analysis uses reliable historical data as a means of forecasting these movements. The technical analyst believes that history repeats itself over and over again.
11. Some Forex traders depend on fundamental analysis while others depend on technical analysis. However, many successful Forex traders use a combination of both strategies. The important point to remember here is that no one strategy or combination of strategies is 100% certain.
12. Margin is referred to as the collateral needed to facilitate the Forex deal. Usually, this is a very small portion of the entire deal, say 1% or 1:100. Please note that margin is a "double-edged sword." Without the proper use of risk management tools (for example, the stop-loss option), you can experience substantial losses as well as gains. We suggest that you take complete advantage of stop-loss and take-profit options in your Forex trading.

What a Good Forex Training Program Should Include
The following subjects are what I consider the most important aspects of trading and every training program or trading course should address:
Forex trading basics - Review basic concepts such as: margin, type of orders, a little background, bid/ask, rollover, etc. You need to make sure you understand every single concept to perfection.
Main drawbacks of Forex traders - Being aware of the common mistakes made by Forex traders and knowing how to handle them will prevent new traders from making those mistakes.
Technical and fundamental analysis - These are the two main approaches adopted by Forex traders. Knowing how to properly apply each concept will definitely put the odds in your favor.
The three pillars of Forex trading. I consider that these three subjects have the most impact on every trader trading account.
Forex trading system development - Having the right system is a must if you want to have consistent profitable results. Having a system that doesn’t fit you will cause a series of problems that will make your trading account vanish away (second guessing the system, not following your system, etc.)
Money management - This is considered by many successful traders to be the most important single aspect of trading. Money management helps to increase your profits geometrically and at the same time limit your losses (i.e. a good risk reward ratio of about 2:1 will make you money in a Forex trading system that is right only 38% of the time.)
Trading psychology - Being aware and knowing hot to handle the psychological barriers that affect every trader decision will put the odds in your favor.
Other important aspects every training program should include are:
Developing habits for success (such as discipline patience, taking responsibility of every action, commitment, etc.,) understanding and taking our trading as a business, risk and trade management.
Another important aspect you should take into consideration when choosing a Forex training program is the mechanics of it, getting to know how the training program works.
A good Forex course will have the following:
A live conference room, to apply everything learned under live market conditions.
One-on-one coaching, every trader has different needs and requires special attention. For instance a trader wanting to improve the system and requires individual feedback from the instructor about it.
Online trading course, a course that could be accessible through internet. A plus is a course where you are able to access the course at the convenient time for you, so you don’t have to change your lifestyle.
A forum, where members can talk just about everything related to the Forex market and the Forex training program.

How to take a loss
There are quite a few books written on how to make money in the market.
Some of them are even written by people who have made money as traders! What you don't see often, however, are books or articles written on how to lose money. "Cut your losers and let your winners run" is commonsensical advice, but how do you determine when a position is a loser? Interestingly, most traders I have seen don't formulate an answer to this question when they put on a position. They focus on the entry, but then don't have a clear sense of exit-especially if that exit is going to put them into the red.
One of the real culprits, I have to believe, is in the difficulty traders have in separating the reality of a losing trade from the psychological sense of feeling like a loser. At some level, many traders equate losing with being a loser. This frustrates them, depresses them, makes them anxious-in short, it interferes with their future decision-making, because their P & L is a blank check written against their self-esteem. Once a trader is self-focused and not market focused, distortions in decision-making are inevitable.
A particularly valuable section of the classic book Reminiscences of a Stock Operator describes Livermore 's approach to buying stock. He would sell a quantity and see how the stock responded. Then he would do that again and again, testing the underlying demand for the issue. When his sales could not push the market down, then he would move aggressively to the buy side and make his money.
What I loved about this methodology is that Livermore's losses were part of a grander plan. He wasn't just losing money; he was paying for information. If my maximum position size is ten contracts in the ES and I buy the highs of a range with a one-lot, expecting a breakout, I am testing the waters. While I am not potentially moving the market in the way that Livermore might have, I still have begun a test of my breakout hypothesis. I then watch carefully. How are the other averages behaving at the top ends of their range? How is the market absorbing the activity of sellers? Like any good scientist, I am gathering data to determine whether or not my hypothesis is supported.
Suppose the breakout does not materialize and the initial move above the range falls back into the range on some increased selling pressure. I take the loss on my one-lot, but then what happens from there?
The unsuccessful trader will respond with frustration: "Why do I always get caught buying the highs? I can't believe "they" ran the market against me! This market is impossible to trade." Because of that frustration-and the associated self-focus-the unsuccessful trader does not take any information away from that trade.

Forex Strategy: Trading with Stochastics
There are three types of Stochastics: Full, fast and slow stochastics. Slow stochastics are simply a smother version of the fast stochastics, and full stochastics are even a smother version of the slow stochastics.
Interpretation:
Buy when %K falls below the oversold level (below 20) and rises back above the same level.
Sell when %K rises above de overbought level (above 80) and falls back below the same level.
The interpretation above is how most traders and investors use them; however, it only works when the market is trendless or ranging. When the market is trending, a reading above the overbought territory isn't necessary a bearish signal, while a reading below de oversold territory isn't necessary bullish signal.
Trending market
When the market is trending is necessary to adapt the oscillator to the same conditions: When the market is trending up, then the signals with the higher probability of success are those in direction of the trend "Buy signals", on the other hand when the market is trending down, selling signals offer the lowest risk opportunities.
Thus when the market is trending up, we will only look for oversold conditions (when the stochastics fall below the oversold level [below 20] and rises back above the same level) to get ready to trade, and in the same way, when the market is trending down we will only look for overbought conditions (when the stochastics rise above de overbought level [above 80] and falls back below the same level.
Taking all overbought/oversold signals during a trending market will lead us to many whipsaws. If you are not comfortable with the number of signals given, try expanding your trading to other currency pairs.
Trend-less market
During a ranging market we could use the interpretation explained above to trade off stochastics.
Divergence
Divergence trades are amongst the most reliable trading signals in the Forex market. A divergence occurs either when the indicator reaches new highs/lows and the market fails to do it or the market reaches new highs/lows and the indicator fails to do it. Both conditions mean that the market isn't as strong as it used to be giving us opportunities to profit from the market.
Stochastics can also be used to trade off divergences.
Price behavior
A price behavior can be incorporated into any kind of system or Forex strategy. When using divergences or overbought/oversold condition with a price behavior approach, the probability of success of our signals increases enormously. Why? Because price dictates at the end, how all indicators will behave, it also gives us a lot of information about the probable direction it will take in the future.
