Some Advice For HYIP Beginners

This article describes hyip - investment programs. It is intended for those who are the beginners in such business. I think, a beginner can gather some rules and advice that can help not to lose but earn some money by participating in such projects.
First of all, you should decide: whether this method of earning money appeals to you? First of all, answer the following questions, and then make your own decision.
I do not advise you to start participating in this business if the following character traits are inherent to you:

1. You are afraid to risk your money. It is necessary to note, that absolutely reliable hyip projects do not exist. Any commercial or state bank offers low profitability of an investment with high reliability. On the contrary, hyip offers high liquidity, but often many of them have a short term of existence.

2. You should realize that hyip projects cannot make a profit from anything. You should deposit necessarily some minimum of money to receive profit. It is well-known, that it is impossible to receive something from anything. If you do not have necessary minimum (as a rule, it's over 100-1000$) you should earn and deposit them first.

3. Are you very emotional? Are you nervous? In this case, hyip business is not for you. Moreover, if you are capable to unforeseen rash acts, is very dangerous to participate in hyip projects. In the first case you'll suffer from sleeplessness, in the second - an opportunity to lose quickly all the money.

4. You like to blame others for your mistakes.
If, once a failure occurs, you blame everyone (be it an administrator, a friend, a boss, the government, God, weather, coincidence etc) except yourself, you should stay away from HYIP. Keep in mind that YOU are the only one being responsible for the decisions you are making, and the entire fault in case of a failure is yours. If you have lost money in HYIP – you are the only one who is to blame for your unpredictability and greed, having taken over your common sense. Remember that no one was pulling you on a lace and you have voluntarily given your money to a scammer.

5. I strongly advise you not to participate in hyip projects, if cheating is inherent in your character. There are too many dishonest persons in this business besides you.

HYIP – is for you, if:

1. HYIP is the best way of earning money for you, if the realized risk - congenital feature of your character. You should understand, that risk is a noble business. You should be ready to risk anywhere and anywhen to subdue top or to lose all. You’ve got a well-developed intuition and common sense.

2. For a successful promotion in hyip business you should have a good intuition and skill of precise analysis. Your experience and intuition should be a basis of your decisions. Your experience and opinion should have priority over the opinion of hyip forums participants etc. You and only you make a decision whether participate or not participate in this or that project.

3. You should be capable of taking experience from the latest mistakes.

Hyip is not intended for those who recedes after the first defeat. Hyip - a choice of strong people, able to make conclusions from their mistakes.

HYIP : first steps.

This part of the article is an array of advices for those people, who meet the requirements stated above and decide to take part in hyip business.
How to begin. You should take some knowledge before participation in hyip. You can get this knowledge by reading news on different forums, opinions of well-known people and professionals of this business. It is well-known, that's learning from mistakes of others is better than from your own. You should start only after your own close research of hyip business world.

Starting capital. A lot of hyip programs have too small start invest capital about $1-5. You should clearly understand that such a small sum of money can’t be the foundation of real business. You’d better buy a beer for yourself than participate in hyip business with such money. You should start your learning with at least $100, expanding this amount till $1000, if you want to succeed. And you should remember that amount of your investments and possible loosing of them should not be fatally dangerous for you.

A variety of investments. Do not invest all of your money in any unique invest-project. You should have contributions in at least ten various projects, you'll have an opportunity to succeed. You should clearly understand, that always there is a high risk of half of these funds to be closed.

You should ensure the safety of your accounts if do not want to be plundered by hackers of various kinds, swindlers, etc. Do not forget to update anti-virus software and firewall programs on your machine. Only you can protect yourself from a robbery by hackers.

Life expectancy of hyip projects.
Any investment program chosen by you should be preliminary researched by you. You should estimate the time of its existence and starting your work on the project. You should know, that any of such investment projects has a certain term of life. The overwhelming majority of projects are financial pyramids, also known as ponzies. They pay you from the deposits of new investors for a period of time while new investments are larger than the total amount of payouts. If you try to participate in an old program, you will face a huge risk of getting in the bottom of such financial pyramid.

Stages of development. Any program has a certain life of expectancy. This life can be divided into some periods conditionally:

1. The opening of the program. This is the most successful time for investment. The program receives big investments, investors receive their interest and demand withdrawal quite seldom. Bankruptcy at this stage can be caused by admin's insincerity. He can decide and disappear with the money instead of continuing the work of the project. Such state of events can be determined by researching statistics of the program. Such project is a bankrupt if in statistics the huge quantity of investments in the beginning of the work of the project is specified. Also the project can become incapacitated, because a huge amount of money was spent on advertising campaign and website design.

2. The period of stability. It is the period of the most fruitful existence of the project, when the program develops, deposits grow, and the small quantity of withdrawals of money is made.

3. The end of existence. This stage comes, when the amount of inquiries about withdrawal reaches the sizes of the common capital of the project. Admin closes the project, leaving difference of investments and the withdrawn incomes to itself.

4. Sometimes project continues its existence. It is possible in that case if it's really the productive investment project or a commercial deceit by means of advertising. This stage is a logic end of activity of the project. You should o withdraw the money at this stage if it is still possible.

5. Extraordinary events.It may take place if the website of the project is attacked by hackers. The most probable consequence of this accident is complete bankruptcy of the project.

Types of hyip projects.

1. Short-term ponzies
It is a kind of programs promising up to 200% daily payment. Usually term of life of such programs is no longer than one or two weeks. It is very dangerous to invest in such projects, which are like “roulette." I strongly recommend not to participate in such programs.

2. Medium-term ponzies
Term of life of such programs may change from about two weeks to two months. They pay around 5-7 percent a day. This is the most dangerous kind of projects.

3. Long-term ponzies
It's the best way for your investments. The real period of existing of such programs is about five months, and some of the most successful can live till half a year. Their payments are about from 2-3 percent a day. So, you have a high possibility of returning your investments in a two-month term and earn some profit.
4. Extra-long term projects.

This type of projects can work a very long period of time, a whole year. They promise less than 25 % monthly. Nevertheless, it is a very dangerous kind of projects. You should put concerning the big deposit to receive the essential income in this case. The risk in this project is very high, so, participation in such projects is not your best way to earn the money.
Private programs.

When you start to participate in investment projects, you'll hear about so called private projects. Their admins admit that new members can participate in such programs only by the special invitation. It is not a VIP project as you think. It's a simple advertising attempt to get more investments from its old members. The unique feature of such projects is their quite high life expectancy. You should be very careful with such projects. Programs of such kind have too high possibility to be closed soon.

You should keep in mind that HYIP world has a lot fake programs. You should rely on your own experience and experience of professional investors. Pay attention to messages on hyip forums. It is important to monitor the admin's speeches - it is not very difficult to tell the truth from lie. For example, admin, most likely, say lies speaking about the use of investments on FOREX, because an overwhelming majority of such projects are only financial pyramids.

HYIP is an uneasy business, and administrators often escape with the invested money. You should clearly understand that there is no way to get back your loosed money. You should always remember it! You should know that there is no mechanism to control Internet payments. Rules of all HYIP projects say that the administrator is not responsible for your money and you are depositing them voluntarily. Practically it is impossible to start lawsuit against a dishonest admin of hyip project, but it's impossible to return your money. Even charges on police investigation will exceed the sum of your deposit. HYIP projects do not submit to any laws.
If you have decided to participate in HYIP business - I sincerely wish you good luck and be rich!

To Day Trade or Not to Day Trade

Day trading earned a much-deserved negative reputation during the Nasdaq bubble in the late 1990's. Then you could find many day trading schools and trading rooms that tried to make day trading look like easy money, mostly with video arcade style trading applied to Nasdaq stocks. Most of those rooms and methods are now gone. But replacing the Nasdaq day traders are a new crop of on-line trading rooms and trading schools that focus on stock index futures and forex.

Is this the same madness of nearly a decade ago? Is day trading a viable approach to making money in the markets?

Among the investing establishment, day trading certainly has a negative reputation. When I am in a debate with a typical investor I hear comments such as: "I've never met a day trader that made any money. The costs of commissions and data eat up any profits. Day traders are chained to their computers all day while I am at the golf course. And of course, the really big money is made in the long term and day traders miss all those big trends."

These are all good points. I'll take them one at a time. Of course most people I meet near where I live have never met a day trader that made any money. I live in the Pacific Northwest, far away from the pits and trading floors in New York and Chicago. Most of the traders on the floors of the pits and exchanges are in fact trading in and out of the markets all day long. The are day trading. They are creating liquidity in the markets. They insure that the spread between contract months is in line and liquid. They are there to take the other side of the retail paper that comes into the market. The markets could not exits without the day traders who are professional and make their full time living from the small, numerous trades and small profits they take out of the markets. With new technology and lower transactions costs, off the floor, screen based day traders also contribute to this liquidity.

Are transaction costs and equipment a detriment? It was difficult to overcome transaction costs just a few years ago if you were an off the floor trader. Today commissions are practically negligible, and some of the best charting and data packages are essentially free with a minimum of trading activity.

And what about being chained to a computer all day, while your friends are out playing golf. It is true that to make money day trading one has to monitor the market during the trading day. I guess one could also say that to be a surgeon one has to spend some time at the hospital, and if you were a baseball player you would have to spend some time at the baseball field. It is hard to comment much further if anyone is going to criticize someone's career for actually having to be there while working at it.

Day traders certainly do miss some of the big moves. However, the big moves are rare. More common is the daily up and down pulsation of the market, and day traders are able to capture many up and down swings during the day, while the longer time frame trader has to sit through seemingly endless back and forth chop. In fact, markets spend most of their time trying to find trend direction, with much of that time spent in sideways patterns that make it difficult to make money on a position trade basis. Also, what information does the longer-term trader have to suggest a profit in that time frame? The day trader can more easily see what is there and what is happening right now. It is much more difficult to look out into the future and to make an assessment of what conditions might prevail a year or two out. A day trader doesn't rely on information disseminated by an analyst. He merely trades what is in front of him. He trades what he sees; not what he is fed by outside, non-market-generated information that may be questionable.

And what about the really big, wealth building kind of money that is the objective of the very long-term investor. Warren Buffett has made some really big money, and he is about the longest-term investor you could use as an example. I am quite sure he wouldn't advise day trading. Of course his ability to place large trades is made much easier because day traders are doing their job. It is true that in the very long term, if you are very good at seeing the big picture mega-trends, and use the power of compounding, truly spectacular gains can be had in the very long-term time frame. But even Mr. Buffett has a difficult time maintaining his own track record. Very few portfolio managers can keep up with the broad-based indexes for more than a year or two, let along better them. But the very long term does take advantage of the overall bullish trend of stocks over long periods of time. The same cannot be said for commodities, although to some degree they can keep up with inflation. While short-term day trading can be stressful, long-term investing can try your patience. Can you sit through twelve or more years of no returns or even negative returns? That can happen to the long time frame investor. The market may have long stretches of sideways movement, but the day trader still has the opportunity of many up and down trends available nearly every day.

There are some additional points to consider before considering day trading. It should be obvious, but some people just cannot make decisions quickly enough to day trade. Some people require more information and confirmation by looking at many indicators. With day trading, there just isn't the luxury of time to consult with many indicators, especially if a very short time frame is being used. It is better to use few or no indicators. A certain amount of intuition about the market you trade will in time, with enough experience, begin to emerge, which may take the place of looking at many indicators.

For many the biggest obstacle to day trading is the stress level. Concentration often must be maintained for long period of time during sometimes inhospitable market conditions. The stress level can be magnified as the time frame shortens. The stress can be intense while in a trade if the equipment and technology break down. You can have a backup computer, a backup high speed internet connections, a backup power supply, and backup brokerage accounts. Even with everything backed up the exchange order entry or data feed can go down at just the wrong time. With electronically traded contracts the only thing that can be done is to try to hedge in a similar market, if one is available. Even when all the technology seems to be working, there can be deceptive delays in data during sudden fast market conditions that can introduce slippage that wasn't apparent during testing.

After having traded in many time frames and trading styles, I think the most important issue is to find a trading style that fits the personality of the trader, and not rule out day trading because of misconceptions. There is not a right or wrong answer to the question of the feasibility of day trading. But it must suit the individual trader. For some traders long term investing is totally wrong, and day trading is a better fit. One will only know after trying, and keeping realistic expectations in mind. Also, I think it is a good idea to stay out of the crowd and chose a time frame very short or very long. It is difficult to take profits from the market if you are looking at the same information as the masses. Often either a day trading approach or a very long-term approach will prove to be a

A Managed Forex Account Can be Advantageous

Forex (foreign exchange) is a highly specialized form of day trading that deals in the worlds many currencies. To begin trading, a player needs to open an account, choose a trading platform and a reputable broker. Forex brokers offer clients several ways to invest, including a managed forex account.

A managed forex account allows the client to authorize the broke to execute trades on the forex marker. Having a knowledgeable broker handling the transactions can be advantageous. Forex is speculative, with potential for huge profits and, of course, incredible losses. In addition, forex has no central exchange, but is traded over the counter (OTC) via the “interbank”. Trading centers in New York, London, Sydney and Tokyo make it a global, 24-hour market as well.

Many forex investors are not able to watch the market 24 hours a day. Others simply do not have the desire or the background to keep watch. In the forex market, though, that 24-hour watchdog capability is essential for success. Obtaining and instantly acting upon new information is also essential, which is difficult not only for newcomers to the market, but also for most busy investors. A managed forex account is perfect for such investors, those with risk capital who do not necessarily want, or know how to trade on their own.

In addition to handling the transactions, a managed forex account provides several other benefits. Compared to more traditional account like equities and real estate, a managed forex account requires a lower minimum investment. In addition, the client’s money is always available. No lock-up period exists, so the investor can withdraw the balance at any time. Better timing is a great benefit of a managed account. Forex trading is all about time: when to buy, when to sell, when to bet the pot and when to fold. The professionals have access to the latest information on multiple markets, so have greater resources to affect a trade.

A managed forex account can also be advantageous for the traditional investor who seeks diversification of his portfolio. Traditional investments, such as real estate, equities and fixed income tend to be cyclical in nature. Trading on the forex market gives the classical trader an opportunity to make money regardless of the status of the stock market. Unlike equity and fixed income managers, a managed forex account trader can use both long and short positions equally. In forex trading, no difference exists in the profit potential between the two positions. Forex, therefore, is not “biased long”, but capable of profiting under any market condition. In addition, a professional forex account manager can process information on the fly and take advantage of opportunities as they arise.

Regardless of the level of involvement, an investor wants when choosing a managed forex account, he/she must do some research on the industry to be successful. Brokers can vary in services offered, but they must be registered with the Futures Commission Merchant (FCM), and be backed by a reliable lending institution. Bottom line: The managed forex account must be held accountable.

FOREX Trading 101

Welcome to the exciting and often very profitable world of foreign exchange trading or FOREX for short. Forex trading is the trading of different foreign currencies against one another, taking advantage of their ever fluctuating values to make very nice profits.

Forex trading, or currency trading, used to be out of the reach of the everyday investor until recent technological advancements took Forex out of the hands of large banks and institutional traders, and put it right in front of anyone with a computer and internet connection. Now there are dozens of Forex trading platforms available from a wide selection of brokers. Now anyone can learn to make money trading the currency market!

Although the major focus of the investment world appears to be on stocks and bonds, the currency market is the oldest and largest financial market in the world. The FOREX is a world-wide market, therefore, it is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This eliminates the closing/opening gaps you see with traditional stocks ever morning. The Forex market trades approximately $1.2 trillion every day, making it a very liquid market, you'll never have a problem filling your buy or sell orders.

Forex trading is done with pairs, that is either buying or selling one currency against another currency. You profit from Forex trading when you take a position in a currency that you appreciates against the currency it is paired against. The great majority of daily Forex trading involves four major currency pairs. Currency trading usually involves the British Pound against the US dollar, the Euro against the US dollar, the US dollar against the Japanese Yen, and the US dollar against the Swiss Franc.

These four pairs are displayed on the FOREX as: GBP/USD, EUR/USD, USD/JPY, USD/CHF.

One major benefit of trading the Forex market, is leverage. Because of the liquidity of the Forex, most brokers offer the option to trade on margin with a leverage ratio as might as 400! Providing you with the opportunity to invest with a much small amount of capital and still pull in substantial profits.

Forex Investing And Its Profitability

There are plenty out there giving good solid advice that can help you make forex profits, but take a bit of time to seek them out. If you trade breakouts and look for significant breaks, you will catch the major moves and big profits. I happened to be browsing the internet one day looking for things such as Forex signals, automated trading signals and profits. If this sounds odd (after all we all want profits) on reflection it's not. This article will explain how incredibly easy it is to learn the basics of trading and how to make fast profits.

What is very important in making a Forex investment is realizing that there is an instant nature to the trade and huge amounts being traded every single day. A lot of these have high leverage available to clients, which when it involves an investment can lend itself to an environment where high gains are made with comparatively small amounts. Since the majority of Forex business is based on credit, the partnership with financial institution is crucial to offers their clients better in Forex investment.

An investment can be made without actually having the money. To better understand how the exchange rate can affect the value of your Forex investment, watch or read the news and stay on top of current events. Even the slightest movement in a countries stability can make a currency plummet or skyrocket.

Forex money managers or individuals who take the time to properly educate themselves about the Foreign Currency market and can bring above average returns for themselves or to their clients. Another somewhat unique characteristic of the foreign exchange market is the variance of its participants. Generally, the delta of a deep out-of-the-money forex option will be closer to zero, the delta of an at-the-money forex option will be near 10.

Many a times, you might see Forex trading related advertisements in your local newspaper where firms with names unheard of are trying to sell you the idea of a profit, they guarantee profits. With the explanation given to the general issues of Forex trading, I hope that you get what you want to read about Forex trading. Trading, again, is always in relation to another currency since the values of currencies are relative figures.

For them, there are different forex brokerage firms that will offer advice with a greater emphasis on the logic behind the forex trading strategy and will go into greater depth on this matter. Using a tested approach will save you a lot of stress when forex trading. Foreign exchange trading requires more than just pure luck.

So for forex trading advice think about relying on yourself. Simulated trading allows beginner traders to learn the fundamentals of money management and to perfect their technical analysis skills, which are one of the most critical fundamentals of every Forex trader. This article is for information only, any action you may take on the foreign exchange market is your sole responsibility and I accept no liability. Do this and you too can turn your $300 seed into your own Forex money tree.

A Sneaky Way to Steal Someone Else's Forex Trading System


Anyone who is serious about trading needs to have a Forex Trading System that is tailored to them, but there is no reason to start constructing your Forex trading system from scratch.
Why try and reinvent the wheel when you can benefit from other traders years of experience and borrow your trading system’s ideas and concepts?

It’s easy to do, and there are some pretty good Forex trading systems out there for you to work with. Some of them are free and some are very expensive, but the price tags don’t always reflect the actual value of the Forex trading systems. But, many of these systems won’t work for you, and I am not talking about out-right dishonesty here, which can be a big problem when trading. What I am talking about is your ability to effectively trade with the system that you may be considering using or buying.

You need to use a system that matches your life style and personality. If you have a day job (not trading), a Forex Trading System that requires you to stare at a screen all day wouldn’t be appropriate. You would be distracted at work and miss the opportunities to make money, or even worse, you will not close a trade effectively and could lose money.

Some Forex trading systems have a potential to lose 20, 30 or 40% of your money before they are profitable. Can you handle a system that can drop your trading capital to half before making money? Or, are you prepared to have a string of 8 to 10 loses in a row before you have a winning trade? Some of the best traders in the world lose money on more than 50% of their trades. These are all important points to consider when you are creating your Forex Trading System. Choose aspects of the different systems that are out there that fit your trading style best, and then build your Forex trading system.

An excellent trading method, which was made famous by Richard Dennis and William Eckhardt and is sometimes referred to as Turtle Trading, is one of the best Forex trading systems that I know of. They get returns in excess of 20 to 100% per year using this system. But, could most traders trade their system? Not a chance! Dennis and Eckhardt also loose on over 60% of their trades.

Once you know what sort of Forex Trading System will work best for you, look at the components that make it work. Face it; if you are a new, or even a fairly serious, trader how likely are you to come up with a totally new concept? There are some very smart and wealthy traders out there. Why not use their ideas. Consider Dennis and Eckhardt’s turtle trading, their system is based on a “breakout” method. I know most traders could not trade using their exact method, but they could take parts of it, such as the breakouts, to confirm a trend.

You can also use other Forex trading systems to give you an outline of what parts a system has to have for it to make money. All great Forex trading systems have these three basics:
1. Entry Rules,2. Money Management Rules and3. Exit Rules.

Study and learn from the Forex trading systems out there, borrow their concepts, and steal their ideas. It will put you on the track to the system that will make you a successful trader.

FXCM Forex Review


Online forex trading is become a hot market, with many companies stepping in and offering their services. The myriad of websites that have entered the market has created some stiff competition, and the resulting hit on commission and trading rates has been felt across the industry. Many people, such as myself, have had a hard time finding a reputable and reliable brokerage to use when investing on the forex market.

FXCM comes at the recommendation of many people, citing their extremely low commission rates and their 24 hour trading. However, when dealing with a commodity like Forex, the user needs to know that they can trust their online brokerage to be fast, reliable, and truthful.

Mini FOREX Trading


Open an online FOREX trading account first before considering of betting big if you're a beginner. FOREX trading is risky if you don't have enough experience. If your intention is to get some experience and not interested in making big investment yet, you can start by investing $50 - $100 first and see how it goes. Starting to trade with such small amounts is the best way to get familiar with FOREX marketplace. It is much better than operating 'DEMO' accounts, where you're not really risking your money and there are no return at all using 'DEMO' accounts.

You can start an account and some website let you start from as little as $50. Do not laugh - mini accounts are a good ways to get your feet wet without taking a bath. Also, mini FOREX trading does not suffer the illiquidity of many futures mini-contracts, as everyone feeds from the same currency "pool". Not only that, you can start in less than 5 minutes. You can immediately register, deposit the margins of the deal and start running.

Mini accounts are a great way to get started and test your basic expertise. Trading with small amounts is much more telling than paper trading. Remember to choose a platform with competitive spreads. This way will save your costs. It can be as low as 5 pips, depending on how much money you want to trade.

I would want to give a few tips before you start an online FOREX trading account. By nature everyone is emotionally attached to their money. Since you're trading with funds, you must cultivate an attitude of emotional detachment from your FOREX account. Otherwise, each sour trade will infest you with stress, worry and fear. Just be calm when you trade and you can do much better.

If you want tips on choosing a platform, you can go to Google or Yahoo to look for more information.

Easy forex is an online trading platform gives lots of free valuable tools. You can start trading instantly at a very low cost. However trading forex involves risks, easy forex will not be responsible for the losses incurred by forex traders.

Basic Knowledge of Foreign Exchange


The purpose of this article is to add our knowledge, preparations before we enter the Forex world which is very dynamic and volatile.
Let's start with four basic foundations that we need before we enter forex.
Forex trading is not a way to make us rich
Time needed to study the science of Forex trading, a successful trader don't come up with a formula in one single night. What is needed are: Practice + Patience + Persistent = Profit
Only take one or two pairs of currency
It will be complicated if we take up the four main currency because we will have difficulties controlling it.
Watch for Forex News and Forex analysis
Although forex system is based on chart analysis, we must also pay attention to the latest news that will affect price. Knowing exactly whether it's support or resistant, and analysis whether a news can drive the price to support or persistant.
Only use techniques that you master
Make it habit to use only one method you master in playing forex. Before mastering other techniques it is better to understand and master fully one forex trading method.
Also remember that once we enter the forex, we must have a good strategy. Putting stop loss in every trade because every trader have a certain level of tolerance in losses that he could take and depend on the capital that one has.
* Try virtual trading before going to the real world* Trading is what you see not what you think* Win or lose is common things, the most important things are trading formula and discipline.* 90% failed because they are indiscipline, 10% then broke.* Money management is very important, taking up a lots of gain must be put out of your head.
The advice is to use money that won't affect our financial if we lose it. Prepare ourselves the best before entering the market. Do not underestimate something because it looks easy. Buy in low price, sell it on its top then we'll get profit from it and profit that we might not get in other business. It's very sweet but 90% traders failed and 10% of them broke.
Slowly but sure. This kind of mental is had to find in traders' mind. They all want big profits but what the get is only the other way. Don't always follow your passion, remember always to buy at low price and sell it while it's on its top.

The Fibonacci Forex Trader


As forex trading becomes a more extended activity among many people around the world; reliable price forecasting techniques that allow them to become profitable traders have turned into one of the most looked after trading “jewels” for new and experienced forex traders.
One of the best techniques you can find and use is called “Fibonacci Trading” . This forex trading technique is the basis of many forex trading systems used by a great number of professional forex brokers around the globe, and many billions of dollars are profitable traded every year based on this trading technique.
Fibonacci trading is directly related to the curious phenomenon of the existence of specific mathematical proportions that are prevalent in many places and structures in nature, as well as in many human made creations.
Fibonacci was the last name of an Italian mathematician and he is best remembered by his world famous “Fibonacci sequence”, the definition of this sequence is that it’s formed by a series of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers; 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 ...But in the case of currency trading what is more important for the forex trader is the Fibonacci ratios derived from this sequence of numbers, i.e. .236, .50, .382, .618, etc.
It is very probable that you have already observed a forex chart and the oscillating pattern prevailing no matter what time frame you are observing. Thanks to these observed patterns in the currency price charts, people started to think that maybe Fibonacci ratios could be applied to trading as a reliable indicator of future price movements.
And it was indeed a great discovery to find out that Fibonacci ratios described with great accuracy the currency markets price oscillations. This means that in fact, Forex traders can greatly benefit from this mathematical proportions due to the fact that the oscillations observed in forex charts, where prices are visibly changing in an oscillatory pattern, follow Fibonacci ratios very closely as indicators of resistance and support levels; maybe not to the last cent, but so close as to be really amazing.
Fibonacci price points, or levels, for any forex currency pair you may be trading at the moment can be calculated in advance as a forecast tool, so that the you as a forex trader will know when to enter or exit the market if the prediction given by the Fibonacci ratios technique you are using as a day trading system fulfills its predictions of resistance or support levels.

Never, never, never put the money you can't afford to lose in your account. You family, health, life is more important than making money.

These are few major things that will affect our emotion in trading. So, master your emotion first will you master 80% of your trading.

Making Money With Forex


The recent explosion in popularity of the Forex trading market has ensured it has become one of the key ways for savvy investors to make money online. Trading in foreign currencies can be very profitable but inevitably this means there is also a high risk factor as well. For this reason, Forex trading may not be suitable for everyone
If you are not familiar with what Forex trading is all about, then it can really be summarised as buying and selling currencies with the aim of making a profit. Typically, if the investor expects a particular currency to increase in price then he will buy it and then later sell it to achieve his profit. It's easy to see where a large amount of profit can be made in a short space of time if you can accurately predict the movement of the various currencies.
We should not, however, assume that making lots of money in Forex is necessarily straightforward. It takes a lot of experience to be able to correctly predict the movement of the currency markets. One of the main problems that speculators face is that the currency markets can very often behave like "choppy" seas. What this means is that in the short term, the price of the currencies can go about and down rapidly. This can make it difficult predict a trend which is what we need to do to find profit.
So, clearly Forex trading is not for those that are feint of heart. For every person making a killing at the Forex game, there must be someone on the other side who has lost heavily. If you are planning to get into the Forex game then you should aim to start off small and always use a stop-loss and then as you gain knowledge and experience you can take things further.

'Fixed Ratio' Money Management

Money management is the most important and overlooked subject in trading!

In my opinion, the best money management system for Forex/Futures traders is outlined in great detail in Ryan Jones' book The Trading Game: Playing by the Numbers to Make Millions. In this book, he teaches 'Fixed Ratio' money management. This method, he argues, will help any trading system as long as it is profitable over time.

This is how to put the fixed ratio money management system into practice:

1. Start with the total number of dollars in your trading account. For example let's say it's 1000 USD.

2. Now pick how many pips profit you need to achieve before you trade with more lots. Let's say 200 pips (10 pips/day for 20 trading days in a month average).

3. Now start trading .1 mini lots (which is profit/loss 1 USD). You would only increase to .2 lots after gaining 200 pips. When you gain 200 more pips profit you would trade .3 lots etc...

4.Here is an example of how fixed ratio trading would work:

Month 1: $1000 + (200 pips x .1 lot = $200 ) Total: $1200

You start with $1000 in your trading account and after 1 month of trading you gain 200 pips profit trading .1 lots. You now have $1200 in your trading account. You are now at the next level. If your account balance falls below $1200 then you will go back to trading .1 lots.

Month 2: $1200 + (200 pips x .2 lots = $400) Total: $1600

You now start month two with $1200 and gain 200 pips profit trading .2 lots. You now have $1600 in your trading account. You are now on the next level. If your account falls below $1600 then you will go back to trading .2 lots.

Month 3: $1600 + (200 pips x .3 lots = $600) Total: $2200

You now start month three with $1600 and gain 200 pips profit trading .3 lots. You now have $2200 in your trading account. You are now on the next level. If your account falls below $2200 then you will go back to trading .3 lots.

Month 4: $2200 + (200 pips x .4 lots = $800) Total: $3000 You now start month four with $2200 and gain 200 pips profit trading .4 lots. You now have $3000 in your trading account. You are now on the next level. If your account falls below $3000 then you will go back to trading .4 lots.

Month 5: $3000 + (200 pips x .5 lots = $1000) Total: $4000

You now start month four with $3000 and gain 200 pips profit trading .5 lots. You now have $4000 in your trading account. You are now on the next level. If your account falls below $4000 then you will go back to trading .5 lots.

RESULTS:

Month 6: $4000 + (200 pips x .6 lots = $1200) Total: $5200
Month 7: $5200 + (200 pips x .7 lots = $1400) Total: $6600
Month 8: $6600 + (200 pips x .8 lots = $1600) Total: $8200
Month 9: $8200 + (200 pips x .9 lots = $1800) Total: $10000
Month 10:$10,000 + (200 pips x 1 lot = $2000) Total: $12000

Notice that gaining an average of 10 pips a day, along with fixed ratio money management helps your equity grow asymmetrically. Your $1000 turned into $12,000 in 10 months!

Notice that your trading system doesn't have to always hit a home run, you simply need to average 10 pips/day in this example.

If you wanted to be more conservative than the above example, you could simply add more pips profit in the formula. For example you could only increase number of lots traded after gaining 400 pips instead of 200 pips like in my example. This would mean slower growth. Try setting up a fixed ratio money management plan before you start your next live trade!

This unique approach to day trading the EUR/USD involves using financial Fractals and no other technical indicators, as outlined in the Euro Fractal Trading System.

Day Trading Tutorials Will Help You Succeed

A good brokerage firm will always warn you that day trading is a very risky business. Even if you are an experienced player, it is still extremely difficult to break even in this game, let alone make a profit. This is why day trading tutorials can be of great benefit to everyone, whether you are just a beginner or an old hand.

Day trading involves the buying and selling of stocks at such a rapid pace that ownership of certain stocks can change hands every few minutes, or even seconds. The idea is to buy them low and sell them high, amid a highly unpredictable market.

To participate in day trading you will need to have $25,000 up-front, so this is not a game for those who are struggling financially. Many people have compared day trading to gambling, but unlike gambling, it is not purely a game of chance. Of course, nothing is 100% guaranteed, but there is more opportunity to increase the odds in your favor, once you know how.

So, what are the major risks involved in day trading? Well, there is really only one risk - losing money - and a lot of traders often lose it in big amounts, simply because they have not taken the time to learn how to become a successful day trader, and they rely too much on chance.

This is where day trading tutorials come in handy. These tutorials teach people how to become a successful day trader by showing them how to avoid huge risks and minimize their losses. Armed with the proper knowledge, you can become one of the 20% of day traders that actually make a profit on a regular basis. This statistic, alone, should be enough to motivate you to undertake some day trading tutorials.

Futures contracts can be issued on a variety of financial instruments such as commodities, equities, currencies etc.

What are the advantages of trading futures?

In comparison to trading financial instruments directly there are a couple of advantages of trading futures contracts instead.

(1) Leverage: You are able to control larger quantities of the financial instrument with smaller amounts of money. An investor can control the underlying instrument by paying a fraction of the value of the contract (also called margin). In this manner the investor has access to 100 ounces of gold for a couple hundred dollars.

(2) Minimal transaction costs: Due to the liquidity of the futures market, the transaction costs are very competitive hence usually minimal.

(3) 'Shorting' and Tax advantages: Another advantage is that investors can "short" the futures contract or be the seller. This technique can be used to make money if the belief is that the price of the instrument is going down. In addition, there could be tax advantages in comparison with normal investing depending on the taxation laws in place.

What are the disadvantages of trading futures?

Leverage is a double-edged sword. In the case where an investor purchases a futures contract by making a payment equivalent to margin and the price of the underlying instrument goes down, then the buyer could lose more than the initial stake in the transaction. That is why its very important to understand why trading futures for this reason is considered risky.

Discover Forex Futures Trading

The FOREX, FX or foreign exchange market is the place where currencies from one country are traded for the currency of another country. Forex futures trading accounts for a very small percentage of the trillions of dollars that are traded in the forex market on a daily basis.

Forex trading strategy involves buying currency whose exchange rate will increase, while simultaneously trading out or selling a less valuable currency. Forex futures trading strategy is basically the same. The difference is that an investor may choose to contract to buy or sell a specific currency at a specific price on a future date.

If you are interested in forex trading, you are probably not actually interested in forex futures trading. Not many people do it and there is no fundamental difference between forex futures and the traditional futures market, but forex trading has quite a few advantages over the traditional futures market.

First and most important for many people is that forex trading platforms are available through websites 24 hours a day; there is no central exchange as there is in the futures market. Forex trading is commission free trading. There are no National Futures Association Fees.

Forex trading offers higher liquidity and price certainty since getting in and out of positions tends to happen with lightning speed. The price quoted for a futures contract, on the other hand, is not necessarily the price for which the contract will be filled.

By using forex trading online platforms, the investor can see real time prices and exchange rates. There also tends to be a controllable amount of risk with forex trading; the required margin amount can never exceed the dollar value of an account. Forex trading strategy is also quite different from futures market investing and desired results -- other than making money of course -- are different.

Before beginning to trade, education is important, devising a forex strategy and what you need from that strategy is important, and choosing a broker or website trading platform and deciding what you need from them is also important. As previously alluded to, there are no commissions charged by forex brokers. Forex brokers make their money on the “spread”. To the investor, this means that a lower spread saves money.

As a final note, education on forex trading and the futures market, as well as assistance in developing a strategy are available from many websites with a trading platform. We cover some of the best with our top recommendations. Our recommended newsletter is written by forex pros and includes mentoring and analysis of current factors influencing currencies.

Swing Trading

Swing trading is a trading style where a stock is held for a period ranging from a few days to 2 or 3 weeks. Beginners in the stock market usually employ this style, although intermediate and advanced traders may also gain from it. Swing trading depends on the weekly or monthly fluctuations in stock prices.

Monitoring short-term variations in the market must trade in this style, because the trader must be quick to react. Traders employing swing trading do not depend on the fundamental value of stocks; rather they stress price patterns and short-term momentum.

Swing trading lies somewhere between day trading and trend trading. In day trading, the trader holds on to a stock for a time period ranging from a few minutes to few hours. However, he does not hold the stock for more than a day. A trend trader, on the other hand, analyzes the fundamental trend of the stock, and may hold it for weeks or months. Swing traders do not wait for the prices to reach rock bottom while purchasing or for the highest prices while selling. Instead, they capitalize on the short-term movements in the stock market. Persons involved in swing trading do not face competition from big traders.

A person seeking success through swing trading must learn to pick the right stocks. The right stocks usually include the ones belonging to blue-chip companies. These stocks tend to swing between extreme values. A swing trader follows a stock for a couple of days during the upward swing. During the stock’s downward journey, the trader simply switches over to another rising stock. Swing trading is most profitable when the markets are stable. It is during this period that the stocks display a general pattern of rising and declining within a time span of few days. In more unstable markets, stocks do not exhibit any expected oscillating patterns. They are either in rising mode or in falling mode, with less fluctuation. When those are the market conditions, swing trading is not a profitable option.

The Differences Between Forex Trading And Stock Trading

In the stock market the most common way of placing an order is to buy a share of stock, and sell it later at a higher price. This is essentially what all businesses do. They buy something at one price and attempt to sell it at a higher price. Forex trading is no different. With forex trading, currencies are always traded in pairs. Since you have to pay one currency for another, the transactions always involve a "pair" of currencies. The goal of forex trading is to buy the "currency pair" at one price, and sell it later for a higher price.

There is also another way to make money on the stock market, This other way is called short selling. Short selling is simply when you sell the stock first at one price, and then try to buy the stock back at a lower price. The goal does not change - you still want to buy low and sell high. With short selling, you just sell the stock first. Short selling has a much larger risk than traditional stock trading. There are many rules that limit short selling to serious market professionals.

Forex trading does not impose any limit on short selling. The risk on short selling in forex is no different than the risk of buying in forex. I know you may be asking, "Why isn't there any risk or limitations on short selling on the forex?" Simply answered, the rules are different in forex trading.

If you're new to Forex, you might find it to be confusing at first. Use the quick beginner's guide to Forex below to learn more about Forex and automated Forex.

What is Forex?
Forex is the act of trading various currencies from around the world. The Forex market started in the 1970s, but has in recent years caught on like wildfire in the stock market world. Forex trading systems record about USD $1.5 trillion in transactions every single day!

The goal in Forex trading is to make a profit when currency values increase or decrease within a currency pair. You will trade only when you expect the value of a currency to increase. In a currency pair, when the currency you bought increases, then you must sell the other currency to make a profit.
An open trade, or open position, is a type of trade in which you have already purchased or sold a currency pair, but have not yet bought back an equivalent amount.

The five most significant currency pairs in Forex right now are USD/Yen, Euro/Yen, Pound/USD, Swiss franc/USD, and the Euro/USD.
To get started in Forex trading, you will create a Forex account through a Forex broker. Then, you will need to create a Forex trading strategy that works best for you. The strategy you choose should be tested using a practice account if possible before you start investing your real money. This will enable you to become familiar with Forex trading without risk.

Forex Killer Software - A Money Generator or Problem Creator?


Andreas Kerchberger is a "home based" Forex trader and businessman. He says he gained years of experience working at Deutsch Bank. Working at one of the world's most prestigious banks is certainly an accolade but does work experience at an elite financial institution mean you can create a worthwhile Forex trading software?


The Forex Killer software, aside from it's clever name contains embedded mathematical algorithms which analyzer when to buy and sell foreign currencies on the Forex market. The software works by breaking down the percentage in pip change and computing an ideal buy/sell time. The software is user friendly and utilizes a large button and menu format. I always like this sort of feature in a program because I hate to squint my eyes while I am trying to work!


The Forex market as even the most basic trader knows; trades 24 hours a day, and seven days a week all over the world. Thus, even while you are sleeping your currency holds are either appreciating or depreciating in value. Subsequently, even if a piece of software could tell you what to do.. if you are sleeping it will not do you much good. The software does have some drawbacks.


The one I found most annoying was the language barrier (Andreas is German), but after a few uses you get used to a few misspellings. The Forex Killer software is a valuable tool for Forex trading, but is certainly no substitute for a basic knowledge of the Forex market. If you trade with common sense, diligence, and a competitive spirit then the Forex Killer Software will almost certainly help you skyrocket your profits.


The Forex Killer Software has personally helped me a great deal with my trading. It is my hope that it will do the same for you.

A Profitable Trend Forex System


The goal of every forex trader is to be able to generate enough money from his trading account so he can make a living from this activity. And considering all the advantages associated with the forex markets this goal can be realistically achievable if the trader knows how to navigate and tame the currency markets.


Most of the secrets in forex trading can be reduced to learning what’s the right timing of the markets. This is when to open a trade and when to close it such that you maximize your profit and reduce the risk to a minimum. And this doesn’t mean you will need any future predicting abilities as a forex trader. Predicting the future is a complicated and somehow unrealistic way of approaching the currency markets for the ordinary trader who usually doesn’t relay on a crystal ball to guide his life.

Reality always imposes itself in every aspect of our lives, and at the end it shows us the way things are. Here in the case of forex trading, reality tells the trader he must aim to understand the currency markets if he wants to succeed. Aiming at predicting the future of any particular currency pair is seldom a good business decision.


Systems that are based on logical, scientifically sound, and well-tested forex trading concepts have been performing extremely well and will continue to do so for many years to come. According to the Trend Forex System author, to be successful in forex trading, you only need two things in your arsenal: Knowing how to identify the trend & and learning how to join the trend with a precise timing. That’s really what profitable forex trading is all about.
