By fxreport

If you are a forex trader you should be prepared for winning trades and losing trades. To be a great forex trader you need to be prepared for this, as if you are not prepared to take some risks you can never become an effective and profitable forex trader.

The hardest thing for most forex traders to take is a loss, so if you can't take a loss you will never make a forex trader.

Being a trader in the Forex market has its ups and downs. There are times when you earn lots of profits but there are also times when you lose a great deal too. Foreign Exchange is a complicated, profitable, and risky endeavor. If you're not ready to take some risks, you can't be an effective and efficient trader.

Are you aware that the Forex market is the largest market to conduct trade all over the globe? It turns over $2.5 trillion dollars everyday and is larger than the world stock markets and bond markets put together.

The forex market was primarily created to meet the demand and supply of different kinds of currencies by individuals, companies, and government. It was also created to assist exporters and importers to buy and sell goods across the world. Most of the traders are investors, businesspersons, speculators, businesses, and those in the industry of banking. However since the introduction of the internet people from all walks of life are now trading the Forex Market.

Most Forex Traders accept the risk of any adverse movements in the exchange rate and in the case of a favorable currency movement the speculator can earn lots of profits. Those that make the most profit are those that are the best educated.

In order to become a successful forex trader you must have your own trading system. This is a must for all traders and beginners in the industry are encouraged to develop their own system. For starters, you can start with a small investment or you can start with a demo trading account. Once you build up enough knowledge and confidence from your practice account you can then start trading with your capital. With the system in place, you can easily decide when to enter the market and when to exit. Remember just your losses quickly and let your profits runs. Always use the old saying that Trend is your Friend. The cost for every transaction is very minimal and so you can trade for as many times as you like in a day; besides, the Forex market is open round the clock.

Never enter the Forex marketwith limited knowledge. You must be aware that around 90% of all Forex traders suffer great loses. Only 5% are able to gain profitable results while the remaining 5% are only break-even. So the most important thing that you can do is educate yourself as knowledge is power.

Moving On With the Trading Race

By Rick Amorey

2009 is truly a new and possibly dreadful year for us. The economy is in shambles, insurance companies are bending the rules, and the end of it all is not in clear sight. We do have a new president that promises to spearhead the battle, but he's still getting a feel for the position, and he'll surely make mistakes on the way. In short, we may be in this ditch for a while. I do believe that we'll recover, however.

But what does this recession mean for the average American? The most obvious repercussion of the financial crisis is the rapid drop in available jobs. Unemployment, of course, is expensive. Old spending habits die hard, and we may find ourselves broke long before we find a new job.

It goes without saying that a little frugality is a good idea. It's advisable to try and cut back on things that aren't necessary, but try to keep a few expenses on hand to keep you happy and sane. You most likely have cash saved up, set an amount aside for mortgages and other necessities, and use the rest for minor investments.

You may be asking; what possible investments can one go into in these times? You don't have to be an expert broker to know that most stocks are really low in the stock market. But even though prices are way below and may still drop, you'll notice that things are a bit more stable now than when the crisis began. And when recovery starts, and it's inevitable, cheap stocks of today will steadily push upwards.

The unfamiliarity of the stock environment, of course, means that things are a bit chaotic. At the end, what's important is that you plan what you're going to do and stick with what you planned out. Stumbling is something everyone goes through in a race, but if you stop and groan at your mistake, you'll still get left behind. - 23199

Real Estate investing and the human animal

By Doc Schmyz

Ever noticed how when you walk in to a book store and find your way to the business or financial books all the views that are expressed in the titles are almost the same??? Almost all of them,in one way or another, call out for a monetary version of bloodshed. I mean the titles are about how you can crush the other guy, or it's not personal its business. Years ago when I got into the real estate investment game I spent hours looking thru the book titles. Trying to find the one book that would teach me how to become a "REAL ESTATE INVESTING GOD" That I knew I could become. After reading most of the popular books of the time I actually would feel beat up over the content. I mean did I have to be a "take no prisoners " type of investor? Did I have to prey on some one else's misfortune?? No, of course I dont. However I did need to learn to take somethings to heart and NEVER let go of them. I had to build my investment suit of armor so to say. So I set out to build a list of my investment rules. We each should have our own set of investment rules. It will help you keep the animal investor inside of you in check. In my case,being that I am a VERY competitive aggressive alpha male type personality I need rules that would keep me "Human". My own set of personal laws that would keep me on the "non- predatory" path. Doc's Rules for investing:

1) Set up personal guidelines: Define and follow your personal guidelines. This is the most important rule I have. My guidelines define the investments I will go after as well as the amount of investment I'm willing to part with to get it. It outlines my investment strategy as well as how I want to conduct my investment business. Things to include, but not limit you to, are: Top dollar amount and lowest dollar amount. Type of investment you want to deal with. Period of term for investment.. Etc etc. (Between you and me I even have a guideline about the amount of time I will work per-day)

2) Remember some ones family is behind the deal you?re working on. Simply put,whoever you are dealing with has mouths to feed. Treat everyone with dignity and respect. If the price they are offering still falls within the personal investing guidelines you have set for yourself don't use your position to abuse the seller. If you are getting the house for .40 cents on the dollar,don't be a jerk and push for .30 cents. Always remember...it could be you in the sellers postion. (This rule DOES NOT come in to play when dealing with a bank owned property)

3) Always ask for what you want. Where does it say you can't ask for something in an investment deal you like? I.E. if you're looking at a piece of real estate, ask the seller if they would be willing to throw in new carpet to the sale. I knew a investor who was looking at a house that had been on the market for more than 6 months, when he went to talk to the seller he happen to see a 1954 Merc Coupe in the garage,so he asked if it was included in the deal. The deal eventually closed for the house AND the car. 4) Offer everyone the chance to make money as a bird dog for you. I always give several of my business cards to anyone I do business with and offer them a portion of any profit I make from any investments they help me locate. You would be amazed at how many people are willing to help you make money when they get a small part of it for doing very little work. (And if you follow rule #2 you will be amazed at how many of those bird dogs will sing your praises from the highest mountains)

These are just some ideas of things to keep in mind when you're working on your investment mindset. These rules have worked well for me over the years,and in more cases then not, have gotten me more return and repeat networking opportunities then I can count. - 23199

Forex Trading Strategies-interest rate strategy

By forexreport

With a host of strategies employed in Forex Trading , the question is where do we start?

The first strategy I would like to discuss is a longer term one, in the time frame of a few weeks to a few months. This particular strategy will exploit the fact that a country currency value will appreciate with a hike in the interest rate and vice versa.

Based on the macro economic conditions of a country, the central bank shall decide which of the two, inflationary pressure or market downturn (credit crunch, poor employment data) is of a greater concern to the economy of the country. If the concern on high prices outweighs bad economic situations, then the central bank will hike the interest rate.

If the central bankers are more worried about the credit crunch in the markets than inflation, then the central bank shall go into rate cutting exercise. Normally, central bank will have the same bias in a direction for at least a few weeks or months. The central banks of most countries would not be changing its bias abruptly once a decision is made and announced to the world. Therefore, a central bank will continue to raise it interest rate in a row. The opposite is true for a rate cutting exercise.

So the strategy is to look for economies that are in rate hiking direction and another one in a rate cutting direction. Then long (buy) the currency of the country having the rate hiking tendency and short (sell) the currency of the country having the rate cuts. Beware that this strategy is for longer term, therefore, it is prudent to use extremely low leverage or no leverage at all. The advantage of this strategy is that a trader does not need to monitor the market every single minute other than keeping abreast about the relevant countries monetary / fiscal policy may be once a day.

Observe the rise in rate of Euro against USD in the chart below while USA FED was in the rate cutting mode and then European Union Central Bank was in rate hiking mode in the chart below. European Union Central Bank started the rate hiking exercise from 2005, raising the interest rate from 2.00 to 4.25. So make sure that you look back at the rate cutes and you will see how this affects the movements in currencies.

What if now all countries are in rate cutting mode? How can this strategy work? The exchange rate is determined by the relative value of each currency. Therefore, a potential twist to this strategy is to determine which country is having higher interest rate now, and therefore having the higher potential of bigger cuts than those having low interest rate. With the economic slowdown we are seeing countries cutting rates, all over the world. So make sure you pay particular attention to what is happening. The strategy is then to short (sell) a currency with higher interest rate, where the country is likely to cut interest rate (again) and long the currency having low interest rate. One good example (for discussion purpose only and not a recommendation for trade) of country having high interest rate is Australia. It started rate cutting last year from 7.5% to 6.5%. If credit crunch is getting worse in Australia, the potential of big rate cut is obviously higher than Japan that is having an official interest rate at 0.3 For more information or strategies feel free to CFD FX REPORTIt is a real time trading tool that offers clients free trading reports, with trading ideas, stock market and forex market education as well helping them with.
