Trading Large NAV Percentags
Carry Trading Becomes Useless
If you only have hundreds of dollars in your Forex account, then there is no point trying to take advantage of carry trades. If the market didn't fluctuate so much it might be worthwhile, but in all likelihood you'll make a few bucks here and there and end up wasting your time. So what if you make 200% over a year, you still only have several hundred dollars in your account.Concluding ThoughtsWhen you are trading relatively large positions relative to your account size, it can be exciting. You'll quickly win or lose tens of percentage points. If you are good you'll be able to build up a bit of a nest egg before too long and then start trading more appropriately for the size of the account you've built up. Quite simply, as your account gets larger the need to large risks dissipates.Get out there, take your time, make sure the market sets itself up for you just right, and then stomp around and rip a few dollars out!
Waiting For A Buying Opportunity
If you don't know how to recognize a buying opportunity, then you need to be playing with funny money still. Perhaps there has been a big movement recently. Perhaps there is a news release on the way. Perhaps you have noticed a trend and your indicators are giving you signals. Whatever the case, don't just throw your money at the market and hope for a profitable move
Managing Your Risk
It's easy to get fully invested. Heck, if you are careless you can do this in one trade. If you aren't careful you can blow up your entire account within minutes. Sure, you do have to take a risk every time you enter the market, but you don't have to take huge risks in order to achieve significant returns on your money. Make sure you are around for the long haul because eventually the market will make a move in your direction.

Forex For The Small Speculator
Today was a banner day for me... trading the AUD/JPY with a return of more than 10% NAV. The market simply walked up and down my trend lines bringing me profits with every pass. How come this doesn't happen more often?Anyway, as a small time speculator I thought I'd outline some issues that we face compared to some of the larger traders:We trade in very small lot sizesTo make any meaningful revenue we may trade with a large percentage of our NAV.Carry trading strategies may be meaningless
Trading Large NAV Percentags
There is nothing wrong with trading a large percentage of your NAV as long as you know what you are doing. It's a problem if you are trading this way because you keep acquiring positions as the market moves against you. It's okay if you take a measured defined risk because the market has entered a condition that you have decided represents an opportunity. It is very important to get out of losing positions once you know that your market position is unfounded
FOREX Trading Strategy
Once you've identified a trading opportunity, the next step is to decide EXACTLY when to buy - and this is where many traders go wrong.Here we explain how to incorporate better market timing into your FOREX strategy - so that you can make bigger profits.Most traders time their entry levels incorrectly, so here's the right way to do it:Using Support and Resistance CorrectlyA basic wisdom of market timing is ¡°buy low, sell high¡± - well, the reality is, if you try this in FOREX trading, you'll end up losing money. First, let's define what support and resistance meansA support level is a historical price that traders come in, and buy to ¡°support the market¡± ¨C and the more times it's tested, the more valid the support will be.

Foreign Exchange Trading
Foreign exchange trading is generally conducted in a decentralized manner,with the exceptions of currency futures and options. Foreign exchange hasexperienced spectacular growth in volume ever since currencies were allowed tofloat freely against each other. While the daily turnover in 1977 was U.S. $5billion, it increased to U.S. $600 billion in 1987, reached the U.S. $1 trillion markin September 1992, and stabilized at around $1,5 trillion by the year 2000.Main factors influence on this spectacular growth in volume are indicatedbelow.For foreign exchange, currency volatility is a prime factor in the growthof volume. In fact, volatility is a sine qua non condition for trading. The onlyinstruments that may be profitable under conditions of low volatility arecurrency options.
Why Forex Is So Popular Nowdays?

Forex Currency Trading Market
WHAT IS FOREX CURRENCY TRADING? If you read about investing, you've seen the word forex trading. But because forex doesn't get much publicity in the major publications and websites, many investors don't know that forex is just short for "foreign exchange". So trading the forex market is simply trading foreign currencies.
As recently as ten years ago, currency trading had high barriers to entry, so only large banking and institutional firms had access to the tools and systems required to play in the forex trading game. Recently, however, technology has developed to the point that any individual investor can hop right in and trade with one of the many online platforms.
When buying and selling in the forex currency trading system market, you'll see that there are four "currency pairs" that dominate the percentage of trades. Those four are the Euro vs U.S. Dollar, US Dollar vs Japanese Yen, US Dollar vs Swiss Franc, and US Dollar vs British Pound.
The goal when investing in currency is to be holding a currency that appreciates in value in relation to the other currencies. To use an overly simplistic example, if you bought 50 British Pounds for 100 US Dollars, held the Pounds for 1 week, and in that period the value of Pounds increased in relation to US Dollars, you could then convert those Pounds back into dollars for, say, $120.
Unlike the domestic stock markets, the forex currency trading is open for trades 24 hours a day. Much like the phrase "it's always noon somewhere," it's always business hours at some region of the globe. Since every country trades on the FX market, and it's open all day, the daily volume is roughly $1.2 trillion, which dwarfs that of the NYSE. Another comparison to make in order to truly realize the magnitude of the forex market is with the currency futures market (which has around 1% of the daily volume).
One other important distinction to make is that forex currency trading is not centered on an exchange like the NYSE or NASDAQ. There is no central body or organization required to act as middleman. Trading circulates between major banking centers around the world.
Until recently, there were strict financial requirements and massive minimum transaction sizes which prevented individual investors from trading. But with the advent of the internet came the FX brokers. A forex currency broker is similar to an online stock trading account such as etrade.
Anybody can open an account and buy and sell in any quantity. Because the brokers have thousands of investors placing orders through them, they are able to meet the large minimum transaction size by purchasing in large blocks and distributing currency amongst the purchasing investors.
Although it is now easy to start trading forex, it is a complicated and complex market. While it offers fantastic opportunity for wealth, it is also very easy to lose your shirt in a hurry. Before trading forex, do your homework and read as much as you can find before investing your hard earned money.
Overview of the Forex Market
The speaker provides an overview of the forex market. He suggests that the forex market carries the most amount of liquidity in relation to any other type of securities market. Not only is there tremendous liquidity, there is also trading available 24 hours per day; however, this can be a negative if you cannot pull yourself away from the screen. He also talks through the leverage that is taken in the forex market. Typically, traders will use 200:1 leverage when placing trades. New traders should be extremely careful as their accounts can be wiped out on 1 trade if proper risk management is not employed.
Another benefit of the forex market is that it only moves dramatically when macroeconomic events take place, as opposed to a stock which can have a huge drop overnight due to earnings releases or other negative news.

Historically, currency trading has been a “closed” market, reserved primarily for major banks, multi-national corporations, and other large organizations. These institutions trade in large transaction sizes and high volumes and it has been next to impossible for smaller-scale, individual investors to participate in an equal and competitive manner.Friday, May 22, 2009
Forex Market Comparison
Forex vs. Stocks| Trade Around the Clock |
| The forex market is a near-seamless 24-hour market. Subject to available liquidity, FXCM offers trading from Sunday, starting after 5:15 PM EST, until Friday, 4PM, EST (FXCM Client Service is available 24/7). With the ability to trade around the clock, currency traders have the advantage of customizing their own trading schedule; they can usually get in or out of the market at any time without waiting for an opening bell or encountering a market gap. While trading stocks after usual market hours is possible, very often that possibility is negated by a lack of order flow or a drastic widening of the bid-ask spread. |
| Pay No Commissions* |
| In the forex market costs are confined to the bid-ask spread. FXCM charges no commission or additional transaction fees, and its customers trade on spreads provided to FXCM by some of the world's largest banks via the FX Trading Station. In the stock market, “no-fee” programs are frequently offered only with provisos mandating minimum account balances or minimum trades per month. |
| * FXCM is compensated through the bid/ask spread except where otherwise noted. Please note commission charges apply for certain classes of non-standard accounts such as Active Trader. For additional information click here. |
| No Uptick Rule |
| Unlike the equity market, there is no restriction on short selling in the forex currency market, no matter which way the market is moving. Since currency trading involves buying one currency and selling another, a trader has the same ability to trade in a rising market as in a falling one. |
| Forex Market Information Easily Accessible |
| Information about stocks is abundant, but so are the stocks. Finding a trade opportunity in the equities markets may mean sifting through data on thousands of stocks, while the forex trader has only six major currencies to research. Additionally, the vital information that moves equity markets, such as revenues and profits, is proprietary and private, and sometimes subject to fraud, deception and insider trading. In contrast, virtually all of the news that bears on the forex market is in publicly disseminated reports from governments or research institutions, and released to everybody at the same time. |
| The knowledge you've gained in analyzing stocks is easily transferable to the forex market. Many of the economic indicators familiar to equity traders, such as payroll data and interest rates, affect the currency markets. And many technical traders have found the forex market to be particularly attractive, since currencies respond well to many of the common technical indicators, such as MACD, RSI, and Candlestick charting |

BEIRUT: The Beirut Stock Exchange underwent a relative dormant week of trading as regular activity was interrupted by the festive period. Nevertheless, the decline in global capital markets and in particular Gulf stock exchanges weighed down on investor sentiment as they preferred to realize their remaining positions in anticipation of worse times ahead. Thus, the Blom Stock Index dropped by 1.55 percent on a weekly basis to close at 1182 with a year to date decline of 21.28 percent. Weekly traded volume and value also went down significantly by 71 percent and 81 percent to 372,788 and $4.5 million. Out of the 26 listed stocks on the Beirut Stock Exchange, 12 exchanged hands during this slow week, which saw only two gain in price, while seven decreased and two stabilized. Solidere stocks alone represented 70 percent of the total value traded while the banking sector accounted for the remaining 30 percent.

International Currency Trading
One of the most profitable business ventures these days is international currency trading. Despite the fact that the world of trading seem to be unstable with the global economic meltdown posting a threat, entrepreneurs still find themselves dabbling into the world of currency trading on a global scale. In spite of the recession happening in various industries, people who are into the forex trade continue to expand their business in this trade. Why is this so? The main reason for this is because the international currency trading scene is very dynamic. You never really know how it’s going to spin. Although some people might think that this unpredictability can cause this business to become unattractive, the contrary seems to happen. Alongside with the unpredictability of forex comes the fact that it presents a fair game to everyone. So long as you have what it takes to thrive in this fast paced environment then you can expect a windfall of profits to proceed.
Trade Forex For a Living
If you want to enjoy currency trading success you can, but you need to be aware of one key point. 95% of traders lose money and that’s a lot of people! Don’t think you can’t do it, you can and this article will show you how. The Forex markets remain the final frontier of the free market economy it’s the world’s biggest business and the most lucrative and is one of the few businesses you can start with small stakes and build real wealth. You can earn huge profits due to leverage, which allows you deposit 1,000 dollars and leverage it up 200 times to trade $100,000! If you can use leverage the right way, you can make huge profits let’s take a look at how to do this.
Forex trading is a learned skill and anyone can learn a simple Forex trading strategy for success; in Forex trading simple systems work best, because they have fewer elements to break than complicated ones. You only need a simple strategy to succeed but that’s not enough, you need the right mindset and that’s why most traders lose they don’t understand the next key point!
Despite what a lot of so called experts or Forex robot advisors will tell you, you can’t predict what Forex markets will do in advance and this means you will have losing periods. These losing periods, can last for weeks but that’s ok, so long as you cut your losses and run your profits. If you are trading with leverage you can lose 70% of the time (if you keep your losses small) and win just 30% of the time (if you run your winners) and still make triple digit gains!
The key to Forex is simply trading with discipline; forget your ego, learn to lose keep losses small, have faith in your system and the courage to run your winners and you can enjoy currency trading success.
New Forex traders think geeks and mathematicians, make the best traders but they don’t - Why?
Because they think being clever and building complicated trading systems, is the way to make money but as we have seen, simple trading systems always work best. Clever traders also come with egos, they simply hate losing and let their losses run and with leverage that leads to disaster. The best traders tend to be humble, highly disciplined and simply focus on what needs to be done and that’s, keeping losses small and running profitable trades for as long as they can.
Most traders don’t lose because they can’t learn to win, they lose because they don’t adopt the right mindset to succeed. Anyone can learn a method and anyone can adopt the right mindset, if they really want to and you can too.
