Knowing the Ins and Outs of Chandelier Exit

noreply@blogger.com (Dziaulhaque) — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 18:49:00 +0000

Have you ever heard of a stop placement strategy that trails stop based on previous 'high' points? It is called Chandelier exit as it hangs down from the high point or the ceiling of our trade, just as a chandelier hangs from a room ceiling. The distance, which is usually calculated from the high point to the trailing stop; could also be calculated in dollars or in contract based points. However, the value of this trailing stop moves upward very promptly as higher highs is reached.

The Chandelier Exit, which has a trailing stop from either the highest high of the trade or the highest close of the trade, is best measured in units of Average True Range (ATR). One of the many factors leading to use ATR for measuring the distance from the high to our stop is that, it is pertinent across markets and is adaptive to changes in unpredictability.

The essence of this calculative measure is that, even on expansion and contraction of trading ranges, our stop will automatically adjust and move to the apt level, thereby, constantly staying in tune with changing market conditions. Chandelier Exit is one of the most tried exit methodology used across a varied portfolio of futures markets to generate profitable test results.

It is imperative that the changes in unpredictability can curtail or stretch the distance to the actual stop, since the highs used to hang the Chandelier move only upward. However, in order to witness less fluctuation in the stop distance, you can use a longer moving average to calculate Average True Range. In other ways, shorter moving average is required, in case you want the stop placement to be more adaptive to fluctuating market conditions.

When short averages for the ATR is used; brief periods of small ranges can bring the stops too close, abnormally resulting in premature exit. To avoid this, you can have a short and highly adaptive ATR while calculating a short average and a longer average and using the average that produces the widest stop.

Although Chandelier Exit differs from Channel Exit (which trails a stop based on previous 'low' points), the combination of both, where the trade is initialized by the trailing Channel Exit and then adding the Chandelier Exit, after the price has moved away from the entrance point, will help in making the open trade lucrative. Here the Channel Exit is fastened at a low point and does not move up as new profits are accomplished. At the same time, it is necessary to have the Chandelier Exit at the right position so that the exits are never too far away from the high point of the trade.

The fundamentals behind combining the exit techniques, Channel and Chandelier exit is that, while Channel Exit as a suitable stop that very steadily rises at the commencement of the trade, switching over to Chandelier Exit is necessary to ensure better exit that protects more of our profit. This feature makes Chandelier Exit one of the most sought after rational exits from the profitable trades.

How Does the Relative Strength Indicator Function?

noreply@blogger.com (Dziaulhaque) — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 12:02:00 +0000

How Does the Relative Strength Indicator Function?

Have you read Welles Wilder’s “New Strategies in Technical Trading Systems?” If you haven’t I would advise reading the book today. If you want to trade the RSI, learn about it from the original text, and apply the original RSI knowledge to your trading. Don’t settle for the endless stream of reviews and technical explanations on the nature of this remarkable volume, and don’t be satisfied with simply understanding a bit about his technical indicators. No, I think a proper foundation in trading starts at the source, not the endless stream of late comers who have adapted aspects of the book into their trading systems. Now let’s get started with the RSI.

Let me ask you a quick question. What do all of the following have in common?

1. Relative Strength Indicator 2. Directional Movement Indicator 3. Average Directional Index 4. Parabolic Stop and Reverse 5. Average True Range 6. Wilder Smoothing Average

The were all in one book! Yep, “New Strategies in Technical Trading Systems” is the source. Of course, today we are going to concentrate on just one of those indicators, the Relative Strength Index, or RSI.

RS = Average of x days’ up closes / Average of x days’ down closes

The RSI is an indicator that compares recent gains and recent losses to formulate a system for determining overbought and oversold conditions. I can’t see it as a stand-alone indicator, as it tends to whipshaw you in and out of the markets, but it is the perfect indicator to use in conjunction with other indicators. I use it as a confirming indicator for my primary indicator.

There are three primary areas to pay attention to when trading the RSI. The overbought area is derived from the data when the indicator hits 70. The oversold indication is derived from data when the indicator hits 30. In his original thesis, both these readings (70, 30) were buy and sell points of the RSI. Since the RSI is used to measure the strength of the underlying security, there is a wealth of information to be gleaned from the RSI. Again, I caution you in trading the RSI as a primary indicator.

Another system uses the RSI in a similar manner, except it focuses on the 50 line in the RSI. Some believe that when the RSI pierces the 50 line going upward a buy signal is generated, and the corollary is true also…when the line is headed downward through the 50 line, a short signal is generated. While I am aware of these two trading methods, it’s not what I am looking for in the RSI, though the information is valuable for confirming trade decisions.

No, I want to look a price divergences with the RSI. When the RSI is headed one way and the price action on the chart is headed another I like to take notice, especially if I am currently in a trade. Divergent indicators are the stuff of gold, and they are hard to come across, especially in short term trading, but the RSI shines at it’s assigned task. When price is still headed in an upward direction and the RSI joins that movement direction, I am looking for a point in time when the RSI changes direction, and it usually begins to swing before the price movement reflects the deteriorating underlying short term trend. Put in less esoteric terms; if the price is going up and the RSI starts to head down, you better be prepared to take quick action. Convergence and divergence are what makes guys like me, who trade with price action and oscilllators, feel good. Any information that I can glean about what is happening in the market is helpful, especially when you are trying to scan your screen for something that isn’t necessarily reflected in the charts.

I feel using the RSI makes me a more nimble trader, more informed. It generally occupies the middle of the indicator row, second from the top. Once I am in a trade I generally keep a close watch on what the RSI is trying to tell me, and then plan my strategy accordingly. My recommendation is to give the RSI a try, and see if makes sense in your overall trading strategy. Are you paying attention to divergent indicators? You should be.

More on Emotional Considerations in Your Day Trading

noreply@blogger.com (Dziaulhaque) — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 11:46:00 +0000

You have a responsibility to be prepared mentally each day you choose to day trade. Many traders shun the emotional realities of trading, and this aspect of trading is among the most important. Recent findings in scientific studies reveal, unequivocally, that a traders emotional state during a trading session may be the single most important factor in determining whether a trader has a successful day or loses money.

In my experience the best way to quiet a group of chatting traders is to ask them about their emotional preparation to trading. For a variety of reasons, traders are reluctant to discuss how they feel, at the emotional level, during their trading. Whether the root cause of the this phenomena is vanity, inability or reluctance to share emotional tendencies, or a societal norm for traders to be mentally “tough” is unclear. What is clear, however, is the incontrovertible evidence that states that your mental and emotional state has a profound effect on your ability to trade.

In a past article I discussed outside factors like television, radio, and music that effect our emotional state, and in this article I will discuss internal emotional considerations each trader must conquer. There is a feeling that some traders are gifted, that they are natural born traders. It is my opinion that some traders have an emotional profile that makes them successful, as oppose to a technical style. As a chaos theory trader, I am convinced the market is, at the macro level, random and difficult to predict. At the micro level, certain patterns occur over and over. That being said, most of the successful trading systems share some common characteristics and very little has occurred in the past ten years that we could consider revolutionary breakthroughs in trading technique. To be sure, no trading style has in any way pulled ahead of the pack of mainstream traders. Sure, we have new styles of trading, but the ultimate judge of trading successfully is profits and losses, and the new styles have done anything but disproved the long standing tenets of trading with their profits and losses.

So what kind of emotional situations hinder a trader?

Emotional attachments to a trading position are among the toughest to recognize and rectify. For a variety of reasons, traders invest their emotions into a particular trade in the belief they are right, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. For example, a trader may decide the market is going to go in a certain direction for a certain period of time and positions his trade to capitalize on this perceived winning trade. Before long, the market begins to move counter to the trader’s theory, but the emotionally invested trader does not take corrective action because he is convinced he is right. Despite his indicators telling him he wrong, despite the market price action that is telling him he is wrong, the trader has invested himself so deeply in his conviction he is right he rides a trade straight into his stops. (if he has stops) When I think I know what the market is going to do, especially if it is contrary to what my chart is telling me, I know it is time to stop for the day.

What causes this phenomena?

The need to be right, basically. The literature on this topic suggests there are more than one factor that contributes to emotional attachment to a given trade. Losing trades are a part of day trading, and how you handle a trade at the emotional level will determine whether or not you can trade successfully. You are not going to always be right, and an individuals ability to accept that he/she was wrong and move on to a new trade is essential. It sounds very easy, but it’s not. Many traders are unable to adjust if they are in a losing trade, it unnerves and rattles them. I have watched many traders battle this problem and most are unable to conquer emotional investment in a trading position. For some, their need to be right simply overwhelms the intellect they possess. While emotional investment in trading positions is not necessarily the end of a traders career, it takes a considerable amount of work to overcome.

Another serious emotional issue with traders is overconfidence, especially on a day with many winning trades. This is a tough issue to deal with. As you make good trades throughout the day, you become convinced that any trade you make will be a winner. It’s a great way to give back all you have earned, which is not uncommon. This usually occurs on a trending day when nearly all your trades will be profitable if you stay in the trend. Of course, the next day may well be a trend in the opposite direction, or a consolidating market, and your overconfidence becomes a distinct liability. You must be nimble in your trading, and not lock in on ideas to the point where you are not able to properly focus on the market. Overconfidence is terminal to a trading account. You must stay a student of the markets, not the master. There are few masters of the market, just observant and nimble traders.

In summary, we have looked at the effects emotions have upon trading futures. Many traders tend to become emotionally involved in the positions fail to adjust to the trading situation. They have an intense need to be right. Other traders become confident, which is a great attribute to have if you are in a sporting contest with another opponent. On the other hand, the market is inanimate and overconfidence is poorly deployed in the trading environment. Your ability to recognize the emotional demands of trading will, more or less, be a major contributor to your success.

Profit Ratio in Forex Transaction

noreply@blogger.com (Dziaulhaque) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 07:19:00 +0000

Truly, how is the best profit / loss ratio in forex transaction?

Hm .. the question above, bother easy answer. Easy, right .. let’s say we want to have a profit / loss ratio = 2:1, so we just have to set the take profit and stop loss order accordingly. But, … the facts speak the other, especially in the forex market is so volatile, up and down like a roller coaster.

Okay, now let us ponder this question first … which is easier to gain. A little bit gain, but often, or big profit, and seldom. The answer should be a little bit lucky but often, even though he want a big profit and often (he.. he. . he ..)

Usually in every transaction we are to set a value, how much profit we want to accomplish and how much risk we ready to bear. OK, let’s say the ratio of profit / loss = 2:1, meaning for a profit of 200, we are willing to lose 100. In 10 x transactions, how likely is this happening? Say 3 x we reach the desired profit and loss x 7, so this is what we get 3 x 200 to 7 x 100 = - 100.

Now we try another approach, say the ratio of profit / loss = 1:2, meaning for every profit of 100, we are willing to bear the loss of 200. In 10 x transactions, how likely is this happening? let’s say we reach 7 x profit and 3 x loss, so this is what we get 7 x 100 to 3 x 200 = 100

Now, through the example above, which one is better? Once again, nothing is certain in this world, includinge foreign exchange transaction. We can not avoid losses, but the important thing is how we gain more often than the loss.

Always the best for us all!

Commonly Overlooked Ideas That Are Pertinent To Forex Money Trading Success

noreply@blogger.com (Dziaulhaque) — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 17:28:00 +0000

Forex money trading certainly is not as simple as it seems. For sure, whenever you hear about other traders who are succeeding in generating profit through Forex trading, you could not help but wonder how you could do likewise. Often, you surely scout the market and ask experts about possible trading secrets you should know about.

You certainly are already familiar with the usual and logical tips being run to help you succeed in Forex money trading. You might not be aware but some of the most important ideas you should take note of are often overlooked and ignored. Here are those ideas you know but probably have not thought about.

Do not rely on others’ opinions

As a Forex money trader, you could be always listening to experts’ and brokers’ advice, analysis, and recommendations. This could be safe if you are sure the expert is always accurate and correct in doing analysis. Otherwise, you should not continue the practice.

Be discerning when listening to opinions. Your colleagues’ and peers’ views could not be reliable as they might not have done enough research to come up with such perceptions. Trust your own voice, especially if you are confident about the analysis you make based on accurate and updated data.

Do not share your strategies

It could be considered a mortal sin in Forex money trading to discuss your trades, strategies, and system with any other else. This could be for your own confidentiality and for the overall security of your investments.

It is also not healthy to harvest much negativity and criticisms from others. A colleague may be too critical about your strategy that you would immediately feel the need to enter into an unnecessary debate. Not even your family and friends should hear your Forex trading positions unless you really aim to be bombarded by negativity.

Social trading

Take Forex money trading seriously. It is not advisable to indulge in alcoholic beverages while trading. Some traders do this especially as they trade comfortably at home. Combining leisure and business could be cool and fun, but it may not be profitable.

Also remember that alcohol has effects on your thinking and judgment. Under the spirit of beer or wine, you may not be able to resist an extremely tempting trade even if the pitfalls and risks are obvious. Being drunk brings about an unlikely level of confidence in people.

Choosing a Competitive Forex Broker

noreply@blogger.com (Dziaulhaque) — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 17:26:00 +0000

Choosing a Competitive Forex Broker is also a lesson in itself and requires learning. How do you choose a Forex broker who has all the elements necessary to take you through a learning curve and train you in the ways on how to trade profitably in the best possible manner? There are hundreds and thousands of Forex brokers out there, and choosing one that is good can indeed be a tough call to make.

There are several ways in which you can decide whether or not the Forex broker you are considering to hire is good enough for you or not. Communication being the first requirement you should look for before hiring the broker. It is of extreme important, that you are able to establish communication with him and can relate to his school of thought.

Forex Broker’s job revolves around the fact that you know what you are doing and to help you make money through capital trading. The more money you as his client are able to make in the Forex market, the more his company profits too but the relationship should go beyond this simple mutual reliance.

Another point to look for t in your Forex Broker is to get a good look at his qualifications and experience. Where he has done all this learning and training, does he have any degrees or papers to his credit, and most crucial of them all, what do his clients say about his services and trades. Also try and find out about his specialties. Things like what trades has he been entering into and what sort of targets has he hit at the end of the day with his strategies. All these answers will help you to know what they can do for you as a new trader.

When you are doing all this digging about your broker don’t forget that the broker will also try to assess your behavior as an investor, and then advice you or make recommendations based on the availability of funds and the portfolio that you want to start with. This is also termed as risk assessment and it is an important component when you are trading on the Forex market and the therefore it is crucial for the broker to assess you as a trader before you even are given permission to open an account with them.

These are some of the facts and practical things that you need to look out for when you meet your next potential broker for the first time. Keeping these facts in consideration can help you to trade better on the Forex market. There are so many people making the mistake of choosing the wrong broker for themselves and as a result or are scammed by bogus fly-by –night companies and individuals who are on a look out for such ignorant investors and make a quick buck at their cost. After reading this article, I hope you will be careful and won’t let anyone dupe you.

Foreign Exchange Market (Forex) Introduction

noreply@blogger.com (Dziaulhaque) — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 21:49:00 +0000

The FOREX or Foreign Exchange Market is the market where we are dealing with currency parities.

Example: EURO against the dollar, or more commonly known as EUR / USD. It is therefore beside the value of one euro in dollars.

In our example, the EURO is the base currency, the dollar is the currency that generates your more or less value for your trades. In short, you buy or sell the EUR / USD, you win or lose dollars. At the closing of the position, more or less this value is then converted to base currency of your account at the market.

Parities Forex evolve as new economies of the two currencies involved in the parity. For the EUR / USD will therefore monitor all the economic news of the euro area, as well as those of the United States. Each new economic prévisionnée, a new and better than its forecast generally increase its currency. So if a new sort EURO, EUR / USD and appreciate good news sort USD, EUR / USD will depreciate.

However, keep in mind that a good new EURO can devalue the EUR / USD, where the news was widely anticipated (most often at the rate of change of central banks), or again that new USD grows stronger dollar on the rise, because even better.

The FOREX is a market that lends itself well to technical analysis. Indeed, when no new leaves, the market will most likely his last (which is why the FOREX market is also called trend), often forming very beautiful figures Chartists. The figure found on the FOREX is the channel (bullish or bearish), since it is mostly in trend, with corrections.

The FOREX market is ultra fluid. The daily volume now exceeds 2,000 billion dollars. There is therefore no problem of return (especially since your broker is your return guarantee). This volume ammené exchange is to increase day by day, since today, it is very easy to handle on the FOREX, through brokers and internet trading platform. The more so that all brokers offer their clients to leverage the deal.

The FOREX market is not a really volatile. The average daily volatility of parity is around 1.5%. The FOREX is made volatile by the leverage effect. Indeed, if we take the example of an individual investing 10,000 euros with leverage of up to 500, it can be processed on the FOREX for 5000000 EURO. Such a position on the EUR / USD for example generate variations on balance more or less 500 USD per pip. So with a level of EUR / USD at 1.4000, a simple change of 28 pips in the wrong direction, he would lose everything he has on his account. (conversely, in 28 pips, it doubles its capital ...)

Financial Trading - So Many Markets

noreply@blogger.com (Dziaulhaque) — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 20:45:00 +0000

Trading covers a multitude of sins, or at least a multitude of markets. Mention "trading" to a non-trader and they'll probably think of stock and shares but there

are many other markets you can trade in. These include commodities, futures, indices, CFDs and options. They all have their pros and cons and some require specialized knowledge.

The most popular markets used by traders are stocks, commodities, futures, indices and forex. Some traders switch between markets, others stick to just one. Let's highlight some of the similarities and differences between them.

Shares

In the USA there are over 40,000 shares so you have a lot of markets to choose from. You can't deal in all of them so you need to home in on those that offer good trading opportunities using whatever trading methods you decide to use.

When buying shares you usually have to put up all the money at the time of sale. That might seem obvious but it's not so with all markets. Some brokers offer a 50%

margin with shares which means you can trade to the value of twice the amount in your account. This seems like a good deal but if your shares start to go down you'll get a "margin call" and will either have to put more money in your account or sell the shares at a loss.

Shares are normally traded in lots of 100. If you want to trade an expensive share - and some shares are very expensive, particularly in the US markets - you need a considerable amount of money in your account.

It's not easy to sell shares short. Selling short is a strange concept to many people who think of buying shares at a low price and selling then at a higher price.

But it's often easier to predict that a share will fall rather than rise so what you'd like to do is to sell it at a high price and then buy it back later at a low price. The net result is the same whatever the order of the deals - buy low, sell high.

However, you can't sell something you don't own so in order to sell shares short you must "borrow" them from your broker. This is not quite as straightforward as buying and not all shares are available for selling short.

Finally, share dealing takes place during market hours so if you don't live in the country where they are being traded you must adjust your trading hours to suit.

Futures, commodities and indices

Commodities are goods such as corn, copper, crude oil, orange juice, oats, gold and wheat.

Technically, a futures contract is an agreement to make or accept delivery of a commodity on a certain day at a certain price. In practice this rarely happens unless you're a manufacturer who actually wants the goods. The vast majority of futures traders are simply speculating on whether the price will go up or down and never take delivery of an item.

Futures contacts include commodities and also stock market indices such as the S&P 500, Dow Jones and the Russell. Indices are simply a composite of securities that provide an overall reading of the market or some section of it.

The S&P 500 (Standard & Poor's 500) tracks 500 of the largest companies in the US market. The Dow Jones Industrial Average tracks only 30 of the largest and longest-established companies while the Russell 2000 is an index of smaller stocks.

Essentially, commodities and indices are futures and traded in much the same way although traders may use the terms interchangeably.

Unlike shares, futures can be sold short just as easily as they can be bought. Each futures contract has its own fluctuating price and many traders deal in just one lot contracts.

Brokers usually charge a flat fee commission per contract, often expressed as a "round turn" which is one buy and one sell transaction. This may be a few dollars,

often less than the value of a point or two on the contract. If you're trading a long time frame the commission is negligible but if you're day trading and scalping for a few points here and there it becomes a considerable part of the cost.

Futures brokers usually offer a margin of around 20% of the value of the underlying instrument so you can control $10,000's worth of a contract for maybe $2,000.

However, the same rules apply - if you over-leverage your account you'll receive a margin call or your positions will be closed at a loss. Margin and leverage are a double-edged sword.

Many brokers offer a demo account so you can get used to the trading platform and test your trading strategies before you put real money on the line.

Forex Currency Trading

Currency trading, foreign exchange or forex as it's more commonly known, has fast become one of the most popular markets for private traders in recent years.

As its name suggests, it involves buying and selling foreign currency. The most commonly traded currencies are referenced against the US Dollar and are sometimes referred to as a "currency pair" even though you are only trading one instrument. For example, the GBPUSD is the UK Pound/US Dollar pair. A value of 1.7625 would

mean that the one Pound is worth 1.7625 Dollars. Other popular pairs include the Euro (EURUSD), the Swiss Franc (USDCHF) and the Japanese Yen (USDJPY) although there are others.

So unlike shares and futures, you don't have a mass of markets to choose from, but there is variety within forex currency trading to give you a range of markets to trade.

The value of each pair differs slightly but the minimum movement - called a "pip" - is worth approximately $10. The GBPUSD has been averaging 100-150 pips per day

which would be $1000-1500. Many brokers let you trade half or even quarter-size lots which are useful when you're starting out. Also, many brokers offer a demo account so you can practice before risking real money.

The total value of the forex market is worth trillions of dollars per day, far larger than shares or futures. It is also a truly international market with dealing

taking place all around the globe 24 hours per day from Monday to Friday. You can, therefore, trade at any time of the day or night at times to suit you. It's worth noting, however, that the bigger moves generally occur during the US and European trading sessions.

You can sell short forex just as easily as you can buy and brokers offer highly-leveraged accounts too - but the same warning regarding margins apply here as well.

Brokers tend not to charge a commission for trading forex and you will often see adverts for "commission free" trading. However, they make their money on the spread which is the difference between the buying price and the selling price. The spread is usually between 3 and 5 pips although some brokers may offer a 2 pip spread on some pairs, and some less-popular pairs may have a larger spread.

Paying on the spread is particularly useful when trading mini lots. A 3-pip spread on a quarter lot will be about $7.50 whereas on a full-size lot it would be $30.

Again, the spread is more important when trading short time frames where you're only aiming to make a few pips per trade. You need to build the spread into your trading system so you don't overestimate the amount you might make per trade.

One interesting aspect of forex currency trading is that there is no central clearing house where absolute prices are quoted, unlike shares and futures. So it's quite possible to see different brokers quoting slightly different prices for the same pair. As the market has become more efficient, this difference has reduced,

in most cases, to a few pips but it highlights the importance of checking that the data you are using for analysis is the same - or close to - that used by your broker for placing your orders.

The market you decide to trade will depend on many things, not least of all, your budget, but also how many markets you want to look at and what hours you want to trade. There are trading vehicles to suit all preferences and pockets.

Daily Do Your Fundamental Analysis Before You Start Trading With Forex Trading Software!

noreply@blogger.com (Dziaulhaque) — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 20:25:00 +0000

If you want make more profits using forex software, you always need to do your fundamental analysis. If you do your fundamental analysis then you will clearly know when to use the forex trading software. Just by plugging in and turning on your forex trading software will never make you profits and there are even more chances that you loose at the end of the day.

Yes, it is possible! It is possible only if you know when to use it.

Trading with forex software is not at all a big deal. You can make profits, but you cannot make your money double as the forex software providers say, if you do not know when to use forex trading software. If you want to make your money double, you should really know when to use the forex software system. So, when and what is the right time to use automated forex system?

The answer is Fundamental analysis! To make your money double with forex trading software, you should know what fundamental analysis is and should also know how to use fundamental analysis with forex trading software.

Fundamental analysis is nothing but analyzing the economical conditions of a country with respect to the other country. Let us say that you are trading with EUR/USD. Then you need to analyze the economical conditions of America with respect to Europe. There are many factors which affect the economical conditions of a country. So, you need to consider each and every factor that affects the economical conditions.

The economical conditions of a country will never oscillate rapidly. The economical conditions of a country either appreciate or depreciate at a very slow pace. Fundamental analysis is really easier compared to the technical analysis. You just need to spare some time to do your fundamental analysis.

It is a must that every one needs to analyze the economical conditions of a country before they start trading. Fundamental analysis is always important whether you trade manually or you trade with forex system software.

If you want to make more profits using forex software, you need to do your fundamental analysis. If you do your fundamental analysis, then you will clearly know when to use the forex trading system. There are many chances to loose in trading by just plug and playing the forex trading software. And you can never make the profits.

To find out when to use automated forex trading software, you need to do your fundamental analysis. Plug in your forex trading software and let it trade for you, if your fundamental analysis gives you a good sign. Do not trade, if your fundamental analysis gives you a bad sign. Wait until your analysis gives you a good sign and then start trading with forex trading software. You will then surely make huge profits with automated forex software systems and can even double your money in a month.

In trading, both the fundamental analysis and technical analysis play a major role. Fundamental analysis and technical analysis are like the two sides of a coin. If you want to be successful in trading, you need to take care of both fundamental analysis and technical analysis. Any forex software system takes care of the technical analysis but they cannot take care of fundamental analysis. So fundamental analysis has to be taken care of by you and technical analysis will be taken care of by forex trading software system.

There are many traders who lost their money in trading by just using forex system software. A lot of analysis has been done, and it has been found that those traders who lost in trading, even after using forex trading software, lost because they never took care of the fundamental analysis which is a must in trading to make profits. They simply turned on their forex trading software and started trading. They have finally ended up with loss. Just by turning on the forex system and make them trade for you all the time will never make profits. If your fundamental analysis gives a good sign and if you turn on your forex trading system, you can really make good profits. There is no need to make the forex system software trade for you round the clock.

I summarize that both fundamental analysis and technical analysis play a very important role in trading. If you really want to make your money double with forex trading system software, then it is a must that you need to do your fundamental analysis and need to find the right time to use forex software.

An Informative Forex Broker Review

noreply@blogger.com (Dziaulhaque) — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 20:24:00 +0000

According to our forex broker review, Gain Capital and Oanda come out on top.

Gain Capial has set a high standard with trailing stops. The trailing stop can only be entered as a separate order. Once the investor is in an order he can enter his trailing stop limit in pips to trail the market the distance the investor has set with the closest distance the investor can go being 10 pips. Gain Capital also has a facility whereby a trader can download 5 years of tick data on the 6 major currencies. In addition, an investor can also download a free DDE application whereby he can obtain live quotes.

While most brokers allow only the standard ($100,000) or mini ($10,000) lot size, Oanda gives traders the ability to trade any lot amount. Another attractive quality is that has its own user forum. In addition, Oanda has the capacity to have multi-denominated sub accounts other than in USD with no minimum deposit. The different currency accounts available include AUD, EUR, JPY, GBP, CAD & CHF. This allows the user to transfer between their primary account and their sub account easily, with the only restriction being that the investor cannot externally withdraw funds from a sub account, and withdrawals must come out of the primary account only.

Forex Strategy - Forex Scalping - Scalp Forex

noreply@blogger.com (Dziaulhaque) — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 18:23:00 +0000

.
Forex scalping is a trading strategy in which the trader enters and exits a trade quickly, attempting to make gains on very small pip movements. Usually the trade is entered and then closed within minutes and profits are desired on quick 5 to 15 pip movements. After awhile, profits claimed on these small movements will add up.

The name "Forex Scalping" sounds risky. But the scalping method can be low risk when they implemented during the best times for scalping in the market. The best time to use a scalping forex strategy is during times of market consolidation. Since the market is generally in a consolidation pattern 80% of the time, this suggest that Forex Scalping is a good strategy to choose and use often. Many new forex traders attempt to scalp the market during times of volatility or of news trading -- but these highly volatile trading times are risky for all trading strategies, including the forex scalping strategy.

The trader must always determine ahead of time their risk management strategy. The Forex Scalping trader must decide to get out of bad trades when they have lower pip losses. Waiting for a hopeful recovery if the very short trade does not go as expected is too dangerous. It is best to take profits of small pips and also limit amount of pips accepted as loss. Otherwise one larger bad trade could completely wipe out numerous smaller profitable trades.

By using the forexscalping strategy a trader enters and exits a trade within minutes, planning to take gains on 5 to 10 pip movements. During time of market consolidation, the trader may scalp the market several times within an hour or so. Forex scalping can be a very consistent way to execute high probability trades, if the conditions are right for the strategy and if pip losses are kept to a minimum too.

Forex Expert Advisors - Why Traders Lose With Them

noreply@blogger.com (Dziaulhaque) — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 17:27:00 +0000

.
Forex Expert advisors are big business online and they're the choice of many new traders but traders continue to lose with them - Why?

The problem with Forex Expert Advisors is they don't work and the name is really a contradiction in terms. Any Forex trading system that calls itself an Expert Advisor has probably been developed by someone who hasn't traded or made any money.

But I have seen the track records they make money!

Yes they do but it's never real or verified by an outside source.

Most of these systems simply make up a track record in hindsight, knowing all the highs and lows and that is easy; trading not knowing the closing price is the hard part.

To many traders today, think they can make money without making any effort. By paying a hundred dollars or so, to a so called expert they can get a lifetime income!

If anyone is naïve enough to believe they will win doing the above, they are going to get taught a lesson by the market.

95% of traders lose in Forex trading and only a small minority win, it's obvious that to enter the small minority of winners, you need to make an effort.

Forget these get rich quick trading systems and focus on getting yourself a solid Forex education and you can win. Forex trading is a learned skill and success is open to anyone, you just have to make the effort to learn skills.

Forget Forex Experts and Robots that promise you riches with no effort and a small outlay, you know it's not true! Instead, get the right Forex trading education and mindset and enjoy currency trading success.

The Difference Between Investing and Trading

noreply@blogger.com (Dziaulhaque) — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 08:58:00 +0000

Investing and Trading are not the same thing. The returns you seek, the length of time it takes to achieve those returns, the amount of risk one is prepared to take, and the commitment one can make to monitor the investments dictate the strategy of whether to invest or trade.

Investing

Investing is holding an asset for a longer term, expecting it to increase in value. The most common example is investing in equity mutual funds through a retirement plan. Many of these funds are held for years and are expected to show a substantial appreciation over the long term.

You can also invest in individual stocks and hold them for 6 to 18 months or longer, sometimes much longer. This is referred to as the "buy and hold" strategy.

Real estate would be another example of investing, unless the property is purchased for quick flipping.

Jewelry, art, stamps, and collectibles are still other examples of investing where they are kept for a long time in the hope their value appreciates. Trading

Trading is also investing but the time frame for a return on that investment is a much shorter period, usually a matter of a few days or weeks.

The most obvious example would be day trading where a trader is in and out of a market the same day.

Still other trading takes place over a period from a few days to a few weeks.

Most trading takes place with individual stocks and commodities, with commodity markets being the most predominant vehicle. Rob Hall

How to Make Serious Money Forex Trading

noreply@blogger.com (Dziaulhaque) — Fri, 29 May 2009 18:30:00 +0000

.
Forex trading, like any other form of trading, is about planning your strategy in advance. In other words, you must know exactly how are you going to profit from the stock market before you even think about putting money at stake.

There are many ways to achieve the goal of having a trading strategy:

1. You can device one yourself.

2. You can take a Forex course and learn from an expert.

3. You can use a signal service and simply execute a strategy provided by a third party; or

4. You can use an EA or Forex software with the ability to manage your trading account automatically.

Any of these options will be a good one, although I you will be better off if you have a little bit of everything.

What I mean by this is that even if you have the best Forex software in your trading platform, or you use the best Forex signals service, having an understanding of the Forex market will always be a plus.

Therefore, if you want to actually make money Forex trading, you must always keep your arsenal of trading tools and resources growing, along with your knowledge of the Forex market.

Also, once you have a strategy in place (whether it is via Forex courses, services or software) always put that strategy to the test on paper money for at least two months, because as they say: only practice makes perfect, and even if you are using signals or a software, you have to make sure your are doing everything by the book.

Two Timeless Rules in FOREX Investing

noreply@blogger.com (Dziaulhaque) — Fri, 29 May 2009 18:18:00 +0000

.
RULE #1) ~ Cut your losers; let your winners ride.

One important thing that every new trader must know before entering this highly profitable business is that life is not perfect, even in FOREX land, and you should always know one fact: YOU WILL HAVE LOSING TRADES.

Every FOREX trader does. The key to being a consistent, predictable, reliable trader is to, at the end of the day, add up more wins than losses. And, when you KNOW(based off your trading rules), without a doubt, that YES, indeed you are, in a losing trade, don't keep losing money (lowering your stop loss) just to *prove you are right* or your rules are wrong (however you want to look at it).

All traders have to face it - you can't turn a donkey into a ferrari. You can't change the strips of a zebra and you can't turn chicken poop into chicken salad. The best trades are usually "right" immediately (the techniques, rules, methods and strategies you can learn in my website will be your best indicator for just what a "right" trade really is).

Remember, people have been trading the markets for a hundred and sixty years. The smart traders know there's going to be another trade. Cut your loses short and compound those winning positions.

RULE #2) ~ Thou Shall Not Trade the FOREX Without Placing a Stop Loss Order.

When you place a STOP order, right along with your ENTRY order, via your online trade station, you've just automatically prevented a potential loss from "running" too far.

Before initiating any trade, if you haven't already figured out at what point you would be wrong and would want to cut your loses or, at the very least, reevaluate your position from the sidelines, then you shouldn't be putting on the trade in the first place.

Show me a FOREX trader who doesn't use stop loss orders and I'll show you someone who loses a lot of money.

a Simple Proven Forex Trading Strategy for Success

noreply@blogger.com (Dziaulhaque) — Sat, 16 May 2009 17:20:00 +0000

.
Here we will outline a Forex trading strategy anyone can understand and apply for success. It works and will continue to work so here it is...

First let's look at common mistakes that Forex traders make in terms of their Forex trading strategy and there are two which are common and lead to losses.

Trying to Predict Prices in Advance

Forex prices simply cannot be predicted and if you predict, you're hoping or guessing and that won't make you money, as your predictions will be as accurate as your horoscope!

You need to trade the reality of price change only and get the odds on your side.

Too Many Inputs

Many traders think the more inputs they have in their Forex trading system and the more complicated it is the better but there is no correlation between the number of inputs and Forex trading profits. Have to many inputs and the system will break in the brutal, hard world of Forex trading.

You should only have a few inputs or parameters and I know many systems which use just one rule and win.

The simplest way to make money is to use a Forex breakout strategy.

This means buying new highs and selling new lows. It's a fact that most big moves start and continue from new market highs and lows and if you go with them you can make a lot of money. You're not predicting, you are simply trading the reality of price change as you see it on a Forex chart.

Most traders don't like trading breakouts, as they feel there not getting in at an exact top or bottom but as you can't do this anyway, you shouldn't try!

These traders lose, because they think pinpoint trading is the way to make money but its not - its trading a move when the odds are at there highest, that the move will continue in your favour and that's what breakout trading gives you.

Breakout trading is all about making big profits and that should be the aim of any Forex trader not trying to be perfect or clever - you won't get rewarded for that!

Use a simple breakout Forex trading strategy which you understand and can apply with discipline and you're on your way to Forex trading success.

You Must Understand the 2 Key Points Enclosed Or You Will Lose

noreply@blogger.com (Dziaulhaque) — Sat, 09 May 2009 17:07:00 +0000

.
It's a known fact that 95% of traders lose at forex trading and if you don't want to join the majority, you need to understand the two points enclosed and make them part of your essential Forex education.

The good news is anyone can win at forex trading, if they have the right education and mindset. Let's look at the two key points you need to consider which can put you on the road to success.

1. Forex Expert Advisors and Robots Will not Help You Win

There is a huge industry in these "sure fire" trading systems and the sales copy tells you that you will get rich with no effort, all you do is pay a couple of hundred of dollars and a life long income will be yours. If this was as easy as this, the whole world would be trading and not working; these systems don't work and that's why there so cheap. If you want to win at forex trading understand this:

You need to make an effort and you need to learn skills, you don't get rich without making an effort and that's a fact.

2. Understand the Unique Skills You Need to Win

Forex trading is not hard to learn and anyone can learn a method that works; the hard part of forex trading is getting the mindset to execute your method with discipline.

If you listen to a lot of the self proclaimed experts online, you would think that losing periods happen to other traders and never last long but in forex trading, you will suffer losses and they can last for weeks! This doesn't mean you can't enjoy long term currency trading success, you can but you must learn to trade through these periods, keep losses small and execute your system with discipline.

Discipline is the key trait which separates winners from losers and if you can't follow your system with discipline, you simply don't have one. Discipline comes from a solid Forex education and knowing what your doing and having confidence in your system.

As you can see forex trading success is based on effort but in terms of the effort you have to make, no venture can reward you as much as global forex trading.

The foreign exchange market, also knows as FOREX, originated in 1973 has become the largest e-currency trade market in the world today. FOREX trading occurs 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. The FOREX market offers a unique trading opportunity to those seeking a substantial profit in a market that trades over 1.2 trillion dollars each day.

FOREX market is primarily traded between central banks, commercial banks, non-banking International Corporation, hedge funds, private investors and speculators. Previously small investors were unable to trade in the FOREX market due to the large deposit required. However until recent years, with the continuing growth of the internet and competition, FOREX trading has made it so small investors can now open a FOREX trading account with as little as $250.

There are a few factors as to why FOREX investing is starting to attract more small investors. For one, FOREX can be traded 24 hours a day 5 days a week. Previously trades were placed by phone, the internet has made it possible for traders to monitor their FOREX trading accounts from home and execute trades in real time with the click of a mouse button.

In order to start trading in the FOREX market, one must first open an account with a broker. It is recommended to obtain a list of brokers and do some research before deciding on which broker to deal with. Each broker offers different policies and different spreads on each currency that is traded.

Before trading in FOREX, one must first understand the risk and reward behind margin trading in FOREX. A margined account can be leveraged, which means trading in FOREX can be done with solely cash or a combination of cash and collateral such as a security deposit. The main risk involved in margin trading is that margin trading tends to inflate loss. In addition the rate of loss and leverage makes FOREX a high risk investment. However, regardless of the downside in margin trading, FOREX is still very profitable as huge gains can be made.

There are plenty of resources on the internet that will discuss trading strategies, emotions and what it takes to become a successful trader. Most of these web sites are going to tell you that emotions play the largest roll in your success as a trader. Any experienced trader will tell you that trading is a psychological game and usually the people who go against the crowd are the ones that end up making the money. When you decide to get started in the FOREX market be sure to look at multiple resources and decide on which broker will be the best for you.
