Why You Should Use Forex Demos

By Paul Seals

There is a new growing trend in the internet. The trend that is growing is the number of investors who have become cautious of the forex market. This has to do with the fact that many traders are losing money.

There are more people losing money than making money in the market. As few as 10% of investors are sticking with it. This makes online companies very unhappy, since they very much need to hold onto their investors, who are their principal income source.

Even in this market, Forex is strong with an increasing turnover of a few trillion a day during the peaks and valleys of a days trading. There has to be a system that helps people stay in the game, especially new investors. The Forex market can be difficult to master, but it is possible.

But when you succeed in beating the market, the rewards are well worth the effort. The system that is currently in place throughout the internet, offered by banks, other financial companies, and the online brokerages of course, is that of Forex demo accounts.

Demos work just like the real thing, but with no risk. You are first given a dummy account, which means you can begin to use fake cash to get used to the system. Companies usually will charge you a nominal fee to set up the demo, but thats all you have to loose.

You need that simulation to get a first hand idea of how the market works, and to see what your strength and weaknesses are. You can choose from a wide variety of demo accounts, as you want to see which one fits your need perfectly. If you are just starting out, you want to make sure you pick the most basic program, until you get used to it.

You can see why demo accounts are so helpful. They develop your insight into the market as they let you see what it would be like to really be a trader. You are shown all the risks and pitfalls, and all the subtle technicalities are revealed to you with no holding back. You can see for yourself if the market is something you really want to get into.

Better training and more realistic demo accounts can help improve retention. Recently, some financial institutions have developed games that push users and provide their institution with a competitive edge. - 23199

Forex trading systems carefully monitor currency prices and fluctuations, which inform its decisions of whether or not to open a position for the trader. Additionally, forex effectively reduces risks for traders by evaluating take profits and stop losses, and making changes as necessary.

We are aware that online forex robots have helped people to reduce the risk of trading online to a great extent. But with that, has it also reduced the artlessness of the human emotions? So many times we find it a challenging to judge between the different transactions of the currency charges.

Online Brokers Need to be Unique

By Trading Mechanic

Online brokers are all over so it's hard to figure out which one is really the best. I've compiled a list of the different ones out there and give a brief description of my thoughts on each.

Etrade Financial really messed up with its mortgage division. During the past 2 years, the brokerage have been posting consecutive quarters of losses and it doesn't even have anything to do with its brokerage firm. It's really letting Charles Schwab and TD Ameritrade take its share and it's just going downhill slowly.

TD Waterhouse acquired Ameritrade to make TD Ameritrade. They also changed it to green but that's about all the changes they made. The online user interface still looks like it's from the 1990s when everything was based on command lines. I would recommend other options over this one any day.

Charles Schwab have been cleaning up in the last year or so, especially with the troubles of Etrade. Honestly, I've been thinking about moving my money to Charles Schwab as well since they offer everything you'd want.

TradeKing is a smaller player in the space but it's solid. In fact, it's won many awards from the likes of Barons and Smart Money for its interface, customer support and fast execution.

Zecco used to offer everyone free stock trades but if you don't have $25,000 or trade 25 or more times a month, you need to pay $4.50 per trade. Options are $0.50 per contract which is a good price though, and it also has Zecco Forex where you can trade currencies.

I was looking forward to SogoTrade until I can't seem to find a way to trade options. Huh? The stock trade is cheap at $3 per trade but your cash earn no interest (yes, 0%). Protection seems to be good though with up to $5 million protected but still, probably not my cup of tea.

Wells Fargo offers free trades for those that have at least $25k with them. This is the good news. The interface isn't so great but it works. Can't complain when it's free right?

Bank of America basically has the same offering as Wells Fargo. It matches them with the free stock trades with the same conditions ($25k minimum to qualify for the free trades). I wouldn't be surprised that they will change something though after they set their feet and start integrating with Merrill Lynch though.

OptionsXpress has a weird name because it's not just a options house. It's not the cheapest and it's not the bigger. Everything is just middle of the pack but then if you are into options, they have the most comprehensive tools. - 23199

Forex Signals and Alerts

By Volodq Christoff

There are very few forex trading signals providers that are genuinely consistently profitable month after month. There are many that claim to be and have impressive looking performance records but very often it transpires that they massage their numbers, and use hypothetical figures in their calculations, rather than trade their signals themselves.

I've come across many different forex signals providers in my time. It's hard not to as the internet's full of them. Nearly all of them have turned out to be a waste of time. I thought I'd found a great site a while back in the shape of Forex Live Pro, but after having several highly profitable months, even they ended up going on a losing streak and have since closed down.

That's why there's only one company that I'm more than happy to recommend and that's ForexManuals.com

It's basically a managed forex trading account where you're in complete control over which signal providers you use, and all trading is completely automated.

I'm not sure how common the Smoothed Repulse indicator actually is but it's one that I've recently discovered hidden away in ProRealTime, the excellent charting software, and I have to say I'm quite impressed by it so far. - 23199
