start forex

Like most things in life, there are easy, but very effective ways of doing things. The same is a true in forex. This is a big market with a lot of money moving around at any given time. It can be intimidating going into a market with some of the worlds biggest banks, but you truly aren’t competing. You’re all just trying to find when a trade will go up. You’re not really trying to undercut someone else.

When you start out trading forex, there is a million different things you can do and try. You’ll have to try something out. Eventually, you’re going to have to get to the point where you evaluate the profitability of what you’re doing. You’ll find that the most profitable things you do are done for a very short period of time. The majority of your time will be wasted on the least profitable. What you want to do is cut out that unprofitable behavior and just duplicate the profitable behavior. It seems really simple, but you’d be amazed at how much you do that is just a complete waste of time. Focus on what works and repeat it.

You also want to develop a daily routine. I’ve seen too many people waste their time doing new things everyday. New strategies and tactics seem nice, but they take time to figure out and find. Routine is the key to success because it requires no time, no learning curve and absolutely no thinking. When you have a routine, all you do is act. Action is the only way to profits.

Recently at a convention on FOREX Hedging there were people in the audience who had spent as much as 80,000 or more on trading courses. None of them had any success with trying to predict trends as directional traders. Most lost a lot of money in the process.

Apparently there are about 250,000 FOREX traders. I would guess that 98% of them are directional traders. Yes, 250,000 traders in a 3.2 Trillion/day market while there are 144 Million stock traders in a much smaller market place. The New York stock exchange is about 30 million a day and comes nowhere near the liquidity of the decentralized FOREX market.

So, why so few are hedging the FOREX market? I believe this is mostly because of a lack of a system that consistently works.

Most directional traders with any experience have thought of hedging the market but most come to the conclusion the hedge just cancels itself out over time. So, most just give up on it not knowing how to make it work. But, what if, instead of zeroing out all profits you could actually double your profits with the hedge?

Let’s take the EURUSD and the CHFUSD pairs.

These pairs are historically negatively 93-98% of the time. That is when one pair goes up the other goes down, and vice versa, up to 98% of the time. Now, over time these would pretty much just cancel each other out and you would not be left with much of a profit and maybe would even see a slight loss if the hedge was not in your favor.

Now what if you could ALWAYS buy low when one pair went down and sell high when the other correlated pair went up? And when the market corrected do the same in the opposite direction over and over and over again?

This is how I ‘trade’ the market. Really it is more like ‘investing’ since I do not look at charts, do no analysis of markets, care very little about fundamentals as long as the hedge is sticking. I also only spend about 5-15 minutes a week resetting my buy and sell limits. The rest is done automatically.

Now, that is the ONE of the ways that I build my equity. The other is daily interest paid at special negotiated rates from some of the biggest brokers in the US and Switzerland. Not all brokers are alike in the rates that they pay even though they are based on the rates set by the respective central banks.

Because the system I use is so consistent and works so well the brokers are not only willing to bend over backwards to give us the best interest rates available they are also willing to give us 400:1 leveraging. Some brokers extend this 400:1 leveraging up to one million dollars. Note that no other system to my knowledge gets this kind of leverage on that kind of money. It is a first in FOREX retail history and there is a good reason why.

Now, at first blush you may think that 400:1 leveraging is increasing our risk. In directional trading it certainly would be putting you in grave danger of losing your capital all that much quicker.

But, in fact, when you hedge the market as we do 400:1 leverage actually DECREASES your risk. Hence, the brokers are quite happy to provide this kind of leverage for this style of trading because it actually reduces the risk of a margin call and it makes the brokers that much more money.

Now, why is 400:1 so important to hedging the market in the way we do it? Well, because of the daily interest!

Let’s take an example and say you have $5000 in your trading account and a 10% margin set.

That means you have $500 allocated to the market. If the net interest we receive is 1.11% annually then this would not be a lot of money. We could do better at the bank! …well maybe…

But, what happens when this $500 is leveraged at 400:1? All of a sudden this 1.11% interest becomes 44% per annum! Now, I am sure you would agree that this is a return worth looking at and that most money managers would sell their mothers for this kind of return!

But, this return does not include the buy low/sell high profits. Add these all together and you have a system that on fairly conservative margin can produce very handsome and consistent profits without risking your shirt and without needing to sit in front of a computer all day and night watching charts until you go cross-eyed.

There is one more way that equity can increase or decrease. That is via the market fluctuations in the hedge. Sometimes the hedge will work in your favor and sometimes it will go against you. When it is in your favor you can see windfall profits beyond the daily interest and buy and selling process. If it goes against you it will cause a pullback in your equity for a period of time.

Compounding is also possible. When your balance and equity increase significantly over time your margin is going down. That means it is getting more conservative and safer if you just let it grow. But, if you want to keep your margin at say 10% then you can reallocate your portfolio and buy more lots which bring more interest and more buy low/sell profits.

Now, if you think that daily interest at 400:1 and 100% winning transactions makes sense what would you think if we could smooth out the fluctuations that give us the big profits and big pullbacks, i.e. volatility?

Well, we could up our margin could we not? We could increase our margin without incurring much more risk and in fact may even be able to reduce it when we hedge the hedge. The net result means more interest, more profit, and less risk while freeing up our time to spend the money we are making instead of ignoring our family stuck to a chart on a screen.

Presently such an enhancement is in testing and may soon to be released to the public if tests are successful. If you want to keep updated on this new development be sure to subscribe to my update list.

By learning how to HEDGE the FOREX you not only increase your profit and reduce your risk. You can also get a life! That to me is the most attractive part of this whole system.

The great thing is it is not difficult to learn either. I personally coach people in the system I use and it usually takes a couple of hours and about 10 minutes a week to monitor before my students are on their own.

The Twelfth Step

As a follow up to my previous posts on this blog, I’ll continue to assert the fact that Nigeria is a force to be reckoned with as regards every known endeavor on the face of this planet called Earth, and the internet is no exception, it is left for the rest of the world most especially the United States to fathom this cold hard fact out. Well I would have titled this piece ‘the online conspiracies of the west against Nigeria’ well that would sound cynic and inane. It will look as we are beggars at the rich man’s table waiting for crumbs that falls off his table; when we are kings in the making. However, it has become imperative that we will take on destiny instead of waiting lazily for it to come beckoning at us. But do you know one thing my friend? Your destiny cannot come to you except you shrug off the ashes of defeat, rise to your feet, and then take what rightly belongs to you. Sorry if I have digressed from the main topic of the day, well I was trying to crave your indulgence as is always the case with me. Like I said earlier on, Nigeria remains the biggest internet estate and can compete favorably with India on the third world country category and in the real sense can give the west a run for their money; and as a member of cyber world is not immune to the fistful of online fallacies that pervades the internet daily. But I’ll only deal with this ill wind the as it concerns we Nigerian.

One thing that has remained obvious to we Nigerians especially those who wants to make a decent living doing decent business online is that we are greatly disadvantaged because of some pre-conceived notion of the developed economies against Africa and Nigeria in particular, but I wont dwell much on the bad side as an optimist but will deal on the possible and well established side as a realist. What do I mean by this? The internet has become a real estate and as such many people world wide are reaping the benefits of this innovation and smiling to the bank every other day, so my main concern is to get you acquainted with the common myth that pervades the internet daily and the obvious.

Recently, online FOREX TRADING has become a niche that every person with little or no experience on money matters wants to get involved in within a short period of time (most attend one to two days seminar) and want to start reaping from it, stop! I’ll love to ask, why is it that we still have few people that are rich from trading FOREX with all the hype associated with it? Well have you stooped to think this over? But my friend like I titled this article I’ll love to list the myths, facts and the reality of online FOREX trading. Personally I don’t trade FOREX but I know of an array of people who do; and from the fillers I get daily, it is not as rosy as it sounds. You loose money and you gain money, however the tendency of loosing far out weighs that of gaining if you don’t know the fundamentals of the trade. Knowing the fundamentals is not some thing you gain the knowledge in 1, 2, 3 or even 7 days as those who advertise it in dailies will tell you. What the organizers of various FOREX seminars are after is to gain back what they have loosed trading through levying outrageous seminar fees on the participants. At the seminar they don’t take the time to explain the technical and fundamentals of the market, terms like pips, bull traps, Fibonacci analysis etc are not well explained: leaving the participant more confused than ever. But like I said earlier on, trading with no fore knowledge of the aforementioned points makes trading an experience not worth the venture.

Still on online FOREX trading, it will be unfair if I don’t mention the benefits of this online money making venture even if I’m not trading this very lucrative market (yet). Basically FOREX trading exceeds about 1.3 trillion dollars daily, so it will be mediocre of a person to jump into a market as large as this with no formal knowledge of the happenings. However ,it becomes expedient of the person to get fully into the know of this liquid market before getting his hands burnt in the process of wanting to make 100 pips a day as most of the self acclaimed FOREX experts promise you when you trade on their systems. Like I always do when posting any article, I try to make detailed research (even if I know little or not) before coming to press, and when I do it is in the form of a personal experience. While this FOREX rave reached fever pitch, every person wanted to tap into this market to reap bountifully; I decided to make my own in road. Daily, I hit every search engine on the net for a detailed report, I subscribed to every ezine, news letter, and every available publication that deals with the subject. From my findings I observed that the requirements of this market is quite tasking, however if all these requirements are met, the market is worth the venture, what are the requirements I’m talking of: they include a laptop computer connected to the internet; as you need this to enhance the mobility of the market, a domiciliary account, and a form of identity which could come in form of an international passport or national identity card and a plat form to trade on.

One day I saw an advert on a daily on a FOREX seminar that’ll last for about two days, and within these two days you will be taught all the basics required to start making between 30 to 40 pips daily (note: a pip is worth about 10 dollars). I did not attend the seminar as the seminar fee was too much, not that I can’t afford it but because the money was too much for a seminar that will last a couple of days. So I took the address of the FOREX firm and decided to pay them a visit and perhaps make more inquiries. On getting there I met a lady who looked more like a cleaner than a FOREX expert, as I was expecting to see a person who looked like those who work in wall street or if I want to sound modest like some one who works for one of the banks, then how can such a person teach me the basics of the trade for me to start making 50 pips every day!. I thought may be if she really is an expert as she claims, I figure she should be making good money as a FOREX expert and at least look good for her troubles. Is not like I’m saying that there aren’t people here in Nigeria who are doing good trading FOREX, but what I’m saying is that they are very few, this is the fact and the sooner it downs on you the better. I don’t want to sound cynical but in this business is very good for you to be very truthful to your audience, telling them the reality of every situation, instead of leading them falsely by reporting fallacies and stuff.

On the contrary, FOREX trading is a niche and can not be ignored as it has enriched many Nigerians (the few who know the rudiments of the business) as I know of a guy who takes home close to 30 to 40 pips any time he trades, do you know his secret? He sells when others are buying, and sells when others are buying. He knows where to make his stop loss and quit when it really mattered, he understands the basic trends mostly the fundamental, since with it you have a clue as to how the currencies are performing in the market relative to how the various big economies are faring. One other fact in relation to a myth pervading the scenario is that FOREX is not a vocation as the ‘experts’ will tell you. It is not some thing you do on a part time basis; rather I will say it is more of a career, since most traders do it full time. Why this is so is that you can dwell on a chart a whole day waiting for a favorable signal to begin trading, while you are in your office waiting for the required signal, your boss will be telling the secretary to prepare your sack letter and pay-off. But if you learn the ropes you work smart as a FOREX trader, knowing the best times to trade; then you can jolly well make it a vocation, rather than a career as earlier speculated. The secret is that most FOREX traders don’t trade every day. This is another fact, you only trade when there are auspicious signs. Another secret is contentment (avoid being unnecessarily greedy), when you make a good move that gives you 20 to 30 pips, is usually advisable to quit at that juncture even if you see another favorable trend. Usually such trends end with you loosing the money you already made. So be careful, as it could be very enticing as well as deceitful

The fact about this market is that you make money if you avoid bull traps and interpret the market trends both fundamental and technical, looking at the charts, knowing when to buy and when to sell, knowing the best currency pair (e.g. euro/dollar), knowing when to enter and when to quit and Fibonacci analysis. If you get your self acquainted with all these, then your venture into this market will be worth the while, on the contrary the myth is that you don’t, make 30-40 pips daily by just taking part in a 2 day seminar or workshop as most will call it, most self acclaimed experts introduce you to robots that trade on your behalf, well the truth about robots is that they only function according to how they are programmed. Most robots are programmed using technical analysis, but this market is very volatile and economic trends in most leading economies especially the US can affect the market negatively or positively, for example the recent recession so experienced in the US resulted into a weak dollar and like a virus it spread to other economy especially the Euro zone and Japan: so if your robot was programmed following the reverse you can figure out what happens. The reality here is that you can only make it in FOREX when you master the ropes of the market as it has been noted that about 90 percent of those who go into FOREX exit after a short period of venturing. The fact then is that FOREX trading can be lucrative as well unprofitable. Which ever side of the divide you belong the choice is yours. But I assure you that you can make a difference if you believe in your self, since many plat forms reject registration from Nigeria (another western conspiracy), for example FXSOL no longer accepts registration from Nigeria. So it is left to you to decide how to take this market by storm as I promise to give frequent updates as regards my online experiences since I’ve decided to join the trend of Nigerians making dollars form FOREX trading.

I’m going to share with you some of my advice and tips for the forex currency traders out there struggling to improve their trading. This market is very exciting because it is growing at such a high pace. There is a great potential for all people to profit in this business.

The first point I want to discuss is the exit trading. You have to block out that training we got in society that has us looking for the cheapest buys and bargains on the shelf. It doesn’t work that way. We don’t make a penny of profit until we exit the trade, therefore the exit price is what we should be looking for. Developing the necessary analysis to predict the direction of a currency overtime should be your main concern. If you can fairly confidently predict a currency will go up to a value of A, and if you buy it for B, you will make a profit of A-B. If that profit is good, you should make the trade.

The next thing we’re going to talk about is the role of a central bank on a currency. All countries have them. In the United States, it is the Federal Reserve. In Canada, it’s the Bank of Canada. In England, it’s the Bank of England. All these banks play one simple role, controlling the supply of money. Basic economics state as an economy grows, more money needs to be added to meet the amount of value created by an economy. The way money enters the economy is through the banking system. The way they do it is by changing interest rates. A cut means more money goes into the economy, causing the price of currency to go down. A raise means less money goes into the economy, causing the price of currency to go up.

Lastly, be a simple person because simple works. You don’t have to make a big complex plan to win at this game. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel. Just keep it simple and you’ll do fine.

I’m currently giving a 7 day free forex course. Newbies and experienced are all welcome. If you’re interested in participating, check out the Casual Forex Trader.

You can call it by any of these names—Foreign exchange, forex or just FX. They all describe the mode of trading of the world’s major currencies. Today, the forex market is considered the largest market in the world with the volume of trading that amounts to around USD 1.5 trillion every day. Add the volume of activities of all the domestic trading exchanges and even then the forex transaction on an average day is more than this combined value. The forex trading value is also one hundred times greater than the daily trading on the NYSE (New York Stock Exchange). The activities in this market are mostly speculative, with a small portion representing governments’ and banks’ fundamental currency conversion needs.

The forex market is fundamentally different in nature having an operation on the “interbank” market, instead of operating through a central exchange like those of the domestic stock markets. In nature forex market resembles an OTC or over the counter market, where trading takes place directly between the two parties whether over the telephone or on electronic networks all over the world. The main centers for trading are Sydney, Tokyo, London, Frankfurt and New York. Because of this worldwide network of trading centres, the forex market remains operative 24-hour all through the week.

In the earlier days, the forex trading was the monopoly of financial giants and a few selective big time traders. But the globalization and internet has thrown open the market to common traders with a sharp intuition for speculative trading. In addition to a sharp intuition and predicting abilities, a first time trader needs some basi training in the major terms of forex trading.

The basic forex terms:

Spot:
The forex market is described as the spot market as the trades are settled instantly, “on the spot”. In real life it amounts to two banking days.

Spread
You sell currencies in this market through a ‘bid’, and you buy them through ‘ask’. The spread is the difference between the price at which you sold the currency and the price you have bought them. Under normal market condition you will find a spread on majors amounting to 3 pips.

Pips
As said earlier you will often come across such scenario as a 3-pip spread on trading the majors. It is the basic unit for measuring a cross price quote changes. Consider this instance, where EURUSD is quoted at a bid price of 0.9875 and an ask price of 0.9878. The difference is USD 0.0003, which is equal to 3 “pips”.

Margin Trading
Foreign exchange is normally traded on margin which is considerably higher than any other stock exchanges. In forex market you will enjoy a margin up to 100 times.

Base Currency and Variable Currency
In forex market you are always trading on a combination of two currencies. For example, you will buy US dollars and sell Euro. It means you have to speculate on the assumption of comparative strength and weaknesses of the any two currencies.

Forex market is a perfect for those who do not dare to take risks. But you will be in a position of taking risks when you adequately educated in this field and your basic minimum education in this field should start with a clear perception about the above described forex trading terms.

I’ve found when it comes to forex trading that the most simple tactic, usually ends up being the most effective tactic. We sort of delude things up in our mind and make things appear to be more complicated than they really are. If you break down things into simple components, it is often easier to profit from.

The most simple tactic that is always looked over, except by experts, is cutting your losses. You will have bad trades. I have bad trades. Everyone has bad trades, but the difference between experts and newbies is how they handle it. Experts will cut their losses after they have given a reasonable amount of time to perform. Why? So they can get their money back part of their initial investment right away and make another trade. The newbie says to themselves, “it will go back up”. They’re probably right, the problem is that it could take years. Just look at the US dollar, it’s been for a while now. If you just cut your losses, you would of got part of your money back and been able to use it in profitable trades immediately.

Another thing you should be ever vigilant on is the Federal Reserve or any other central bank in a country. Basically, we are told that our central banks control inflation in a country. That is just a nice way of saying they face the task of controlling the supply of money in the economy. Since money still follows supply and demand, the central bank inevitably effects the price of currency. This can be a blessing or a problem. If you don’t pay attention to the central bank, it’s a problem. If you can figure out what the central bank will do, you have a huge potential to make a profit.

Is you are just starting out in Forex trading then you may well have been lured into the exciting world of currency trading by one of the hundreds of websites that will tell you that for a very low initial investment you can enjoy high returns in a low or risk free market. Unfortunately, like most things in life, it is not quite as easy as these websites would have you believe and Forex trading, while not as complicated as many other forms of trading, is still a reasonably complicated business.

Many novice traders are tempted to open an account, which is a very easy process these days, and to simply dive head first into trading and, in so doing, they make two basic mistakes. Their first mistake is to begin trading without any clear strategy and their second mistakes is to move one trade to the next being driven on purely by emotion.

In many cases a novice trader will buy a currency pair in the certain belief (based upon nothing but a hunch) that it offers the opportunity for an easy profit and is tempted to buy quickly before the opportunity is lost. Shortly after opening the trade however the market will move in what the novice trader perceives as being the wrong direction and he will panic and close the trade taking a loss. However, he will then continue to watch the market for reassurance that his decision to get out was a wise one and to comfort himself with the knowledge that things could have been worse and his loss far greater. Now sometimes this is exactly what happens but, very often, he will simply watch the market reverse and his currency pair climb quickly into a position which would have made him a nice profit if only he had not panicked.

There are many different groups involved in Forex trading today including governments, banks, investment funds, corporation and of course individual private traders. Leaving the individual traders on one side for a moment, the other players in the market all have very specific objectives for their trading and, most importantly, they also have a very clearly defined set of guidelines and rules for their trading, not least because they will be held accountable for their trading decisions. This means that, for the larger players, trading is an extremely disciplined business and this to a very large degree explains why these large players are so successful.

For the private trader there is of course no accountability issue and so no specific requirement to adopt a trading strategy or to follow a set of trading rules. However, if you wish to succeed in currency trading then there is no doubt that this is one area in which you need to follow the example of the larger players.

Success in the longer term will never come from trading based upon a hunch or on emotion, but will only come from a sound knowledge of the workings of the market combined with a clear trading strategy.

Franklin D. Roosevelt, the former President of the United States of America was the driving force of the enactment of the Emergency Banking Act or also known as the Emergency Banking Relief Act during the era of Great Depression. Emergency banking Relief Act was passed on March 9th of 1933. This act has created a plan that would terminate the services of those banking institutions that cannot satisfy their clients’ needs any longer as far as banking is concerned while giving chance for those banks that has enough funds to resume and to undergo new changes in their organization. On the 5th day of March, 1933, just one day after President Roosevelt took the seat of presidency, he ordered a special meeting of Congress wherein a 4-day bank suspension is to be implemented to provide enough time for the federal inspectors to declare those banks that has the capacity to operate again. The federal inspectors are the only official governments who are allowed to declare if a particular financial institution is financially stable or not.

The Emergency Banking Relief Act has granted the Treasury Secretary the power to seize the gold of the private civilians in the return for a corresponding amount of paper money which will be subjected to later reduction of its value in connection to the gold. Though this bill has an immense significance, it was rather passed too quickly that most of the congressmen did not have the time to read it. Most of them only had the chance to know about the bill when it was read to them by the clerk of the congress. Some congressmen were against to the fast passage of this bill; however, it was still passed. After 10 months of the bill’s enactment, 5,000 banking institutions have passed the federal inspection and were ordered to resume their services and operation. Majority of banks promptly reopened and the trust of the people on the banking institution was re-established.

However, this bill was only a transient solution to a more problematic situation. In the following year, the 1933 Banking Act was later passed which provides more stable and long-lasting resolution to the banking problems; this includes the creation of FDIC or the Federal Deposit Insurance Company. FDIC is a government organization that helps secure the money of the depositors. In order for the depositors to be eligible for this, their deposit should not be less than 100,000 and their bank should be a member of FDIC. President Roosevelt was first against to the idea of establishing FDIC; he argues that this kind of insurance will only give protection to the irresponsible banking institutions but soon conceded when he saw that the support of the Congressmen was overwhelming. Roosevelt’s fear came to a realization when he appointed Leo Crowley- a banker from Wisconsin, in 1934 to head FDIC. He learned that Crowley was using FDIC to hide his money fraud activities. Crowley’s embezzlement was only made public in 1996.
