Quick Corner Stats:

Forex Tracer is a new forex product being sold on the internet and it has been becoming extremely popular lately. I think there are several reasons behind why this product has been becoming so popular lately, and why it has been out competing its forex competition in many areas:

1. The site has real pictures of forex tracer accounts, and not made up pictures cropped to look like money has been earned. You are able to see how their automatic signal earned someone 58% profit which was close to $20,000

2. The site has a risk free refund. Most forex products are classic internet scams that are trying to steal your money and run. That is why they cannot offer refunds. Forex Tracer has a 60 day no questions asked risk free refund.

3. Forex Tracer has automatic signaling. Rather than having to learn the forex trade which can take severak months to years to really master, all you have to learn here is one simple technique that the forex tracer automatic signal uses.

4. History has shown that Forex Tracer made $335,000 last year in profit. Clearly, the signaling is working because otherwise the site would be history by now. However, the opposite has happened. Forex Tracer is becoming as popular as ever since their product has been proven time and time again to produce results.

5. There is an option for a demo account for as long as you want before you trade real money. Therefore, you can see that the automatic signaling of Forex Tracer really is all that it is talked up to be without risking any money.

6. Automatic signaling is easy to learn, convenient, and the #1 way for people interested in forex to start earning money either part-time or full-time from home.

Cons

1. If you want to make lots of money, you will have to put in at least a couple of hours a day. I would estimate it takes 20 - 30 hours a week to make a 58% profit.

The product is being sold for $97 and that lines up with what other forex products are currently being sold for. You can compare it with forex mentor, which is being sold for $247 so this is a pretty solid deal. There are currently tens of thousands of members all receiving the same automatic signaling daily, and you can jump on the bandwagon and get started also.

The Threat Hanging over Our Heads

Most Americans are not aware of a very powerful threat hanging over our heads. It’s not terrorism, oil shortages or some other political issue. The clearest and most pressing danger lies in the fact that every second American has at least one chronic illness, while 60 million people suffer from multiple chronic conditions. Despite advances in modern medicine our health is worse today than ever before in our history! There is no doubt that sickness affects us directly, causing untold suffering and hardship. I’m here to tell you how the situation got so bad and what you can do about it. Please read on.

In the year 2000, the U.S. population was 276 million. Nearly half of the population - 125 million Americans - lived with some type of chronic condition. About 60 million lived with multiple chronic conditions. Examples of chronic conditions are diabetes, cancer, glaucoma and heart disease. The number of people with chronic conditions is growing at an alarming rate.

So Why Are We Sick?

I’ll be brutally honest here so there are no misunderstandings: We get sick because our lack of health is economically profitable for a lot of big companies and shareholders. Including:

* The food industry with all the ‘designer’ junk foods and beverages that hold no nutritional value and actually make us fat and sick

* All the polluting industries that fill our lives and bodies with harmful chemicals and toxins

The ’sick care’ industry figured out long ago that there’s a lot more money to be made in treating symptoms with drugs and surgeries in expensive hospitals than in patient education, prevention and natural medicine. There’s a lot of money to be made in making and keeping us sick. As professor Paul Zane Pilzer explains in his best-selling book, The Wellness Revolution: “Incredibly powerful economic forces are preventing people from taking control of their health and actually encouraging them to gain weight - forces so powerful that nothing short of a revolution will be able to stop them.”

Since birth we’ve been bombarded with millions of ads that turn us into happily paying consumers of the very things that make us sick. Now the only way for us to become and stay healthy for life is to train ourselves to see through all the commercial deception and brainwashing, and learn how to be healthy. This is what we believe at Health Seekers.

We cannot expect a solution from those who don’t have our best interest at heart. We have to take matters into our own hands. And when we learn how to take care of ourselves and our loved ones, we learn something equally important at the same time: How to help the other half of the population that is constantly and chronically ill.

Wellness - The Biggest Opportunity of The 21st Century

Professor Pilzer defines the wellness industry as the next big boom that will revolutionize our lives.

“We are now at the very beginning of the next trillion dollar industry”, he writes in The Wellness Revolution, “an industry that will impact almost every aspect of our lives and achieve $1 trillion in sales within 10 years, but one that is as unknown today as the automobile industry was in 1908 or the personal computer industry was in 1981.

“In order to define the wellness industry and identify its opportunities, we must first distinguish it from a related industry based on some of the same technology - the current $1.5 trillion ( U.S. ) healthcare industry. … Healthcare is a misnomer, as this one seventh of the economy is really devoted to the sickness business… The sickness business is reactive. Despite its enormous size, people become customers only when they are stricken by and react to a specific condition or ailment. No one really wants to be a customer”. Medical doctors know a lot about medicine, but very little about health… yours or theirs.

“In the next 10 years, an additional $1 trillion of the U.S. economy will be devoted to the yet-unnamed wellness business… The wellness business is proactive. People voluntarily become customers - to feel healthier, to reduce the effects of aging, and to avoid becoming customers of the sickness business. Everyone wants to be a customer of this earlier stage approach to health.”

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

Your credit history can influence your ability to get a loan or a credit card, but did you also know that it can play a large role in the cost of your car insurance? It can. In fact, poor credit can result in higher auto insurance rates regardless of your past driving history. When you apply for coverage from an auto insurance company, you will likely be required to sign a release giving the company permission to access your credit file. If you want the best auto insurance rate possible, it’s time to start cleaning up that credit report.

Your first step to cheap auto insurance is to check your credit report from each of the three major credit reporting agencies, including TransUnion, Equifax and Experian. Closely review all information contained in each report, including both payment history and contact information. If there are any inaccuracies, file a dispute with the reporting agency immediately and await correction. In most cases, this takes less than two weeks.

You may be wondering why your credit history would play such a crucial role in how much you pay for auto insurance rates. When you apply for this type of coverage, you are asking the auto insurance company to put their trust in both you and your driving ability. By applying for coverage, you are agreeing to pay a premium and, in the event of an accident, a deductible. Your past credit history will give the auto insurance company an idea as to how you will handle your car insurance payments.

It’s important to note that even with a few blemishes in your credit history, it is still possible to compare auto insurance rates and even find discount auto insurance if you know where to shop. Many auto insurance companies realize that past credit history is, well, in the past. If you have a less than perfect financial history, don’t hesitate to explain your situation to the auto insurance company and let them go to work to find you the best auto insurance rate available.

If you have a credit report that needs improving, you can begin to see positive results in as little as three months. Avoid carrying a credit card balance that exceeds 50% of your total available credit, always pay your bills on time and pay more than the minimum payment if/when possible. After several months of regular payments, your credit report and score will begin to improve. What does this mean for your auto insurance rates? As your credit score goes up, your auto insurance rates may go down. One of the best ways to find the best provider for your needs is through obtaining several auto insurance quotes, compare rates and choosing the best one that offers a customizable plan.

It should not be used as, in place of or in conjunction with professional financial or insurance advice relating to auto insurance quotes, discount auto insurance or auto insurance rates. For additional information or to receive an auto insurance quote, contact a local auto insurance company.

For those unfamiliar with the term, FOREX (FOReign EXchange market), refers to an international exchange market where currencies are bought and sold. The Foreign Exchange Market that we see today began in the 1970’s, when free exchange rates and floating currencies were introduced. In such an environment only participants in the market determine the price of one currency against another, based upon supply and demand for that currency.

FOREX is a somewhat unique market for a number of reasons. Firstly, it is one of the few markets in which it can be said with very few qualifications that it is free of external controls and that it cannot be manipulated. It is also the largest liquid financial market, with trade reaching between 1 and 1.5 trillion US dollars a day. With this much money moving this fast, it is clear why a single investor would find it near impossible to significantly affect the price of a major currency. Furthermore, the liquidity of the market means that unlike some rarely traded stock, traders are able to open and close positions within a few seconds as there are always willing buyers and sellers.

Another somewhat unique characteristic of the FOREX money market is the variance of its participants. Investors find a number of reasons for entering the market, some as longer term hedge investors, while others utilize massive credit lines to seek large short term gains. Interestingly, unlike blue-chip stocks, which are usually most attractive only to the long term investor, the combination of rather constant but small daily fluctuations in currency prices, create an environment which attracts investors with a broad range of strategies.

How FOREX Works

Transactions in foreign currencies are not centralized on an exchange, unlike say the NYSE, and thus take place all over the world via telecommunications. Trade is open 24 hours a day from Sunday afternoon until Friday afternoon (00:00 GMT on Monday to 10:00 pm GMT on Friday). In almost every time zone around the world, there are dealers who will quote all major currencies. After deciding what currency the investor would like to purchase, he or she does so via one of these dealers (some of which can be found online). It is quite common practice for investors to speculate on currency prices by getting a credit line (which are available to those with capital as small as $500), and vastly increase their potential gains and losses. This is called marginal trading.

Marginal Trading

Marginal trading is simply the term used for trading with borrowed capital. It is appealing because of the fact that in FOREX investments can be made without a real money supply. This allows investors to invest much more money with fewer money transfer costs, and open bigger positions with a much smaller amount of actual capital. Thus, one can conduct relatively large transactions, very quickly and cheaply, with a small amount of initial capital. Marginal trading in an exchange market is quantified in lots. The term “lot” refers to approximately $100,000, an amount which can be obtained by putting up as little as 0.5% or $500.

EXAMPLE: You believe that signals in the market are indicating that the British Pound will go up against the US Dollar. You open 1 lot for buying the Pound with a 1% margin at the price of 1.49889 and wait for the exchange rate to climb. At some point in the future, your predictions come true and you decide to sell. You close the position at 1.5050 and earn 61 pips or about $405. Thus, on an initial capital investment of $1,000, you have made over 40% in profits. (Just as an example of how exchange rates change in the course of a day, an average daily change of the Euro (in Dollars) is about 70 to 100 pips.)

When you decide to close a position, the deposit sum that you originally made is returned to you and a calculation of your profits or losses is done. This profit or loss is then credited to your account.

Investment Strategies: Technical Analysis and Fundamental Analysis

The two fundamental strategies in investing in FOREX are Technical Analysis or Fundamental Analysis. Most small and medium sized investors in financial markets use Technical Analysis. This technique stems from the assumption that all information about the market and a particular currency’s future fluctuations is found in the price chain. That is to say, that all factors which have an effect on the price have already been considered by the market and are thus reflected in the price. Essentially then, what this type of investor does is base his/her investments upon three fundamental suppositions. These are: that the movement of the market considers all factors, that the movement of prices is purposeful and directly tied to these events, and that history repeats itself. Someone utilizing technical analysis looks at the highest and lowest prices of a currency, the prices of opening and closing, and the volume of transactions. This investor does not try to outsmart the market, or even predict major long term trends, but simply looks at what has happened to that currency in the recent past, and predicts that the small fluctuations will generally continue just as they have before.

A Fundamental Analysis is one which analyzes the current situations in the country of the currency, including such things as its economy, its political situation, and other related rumors. By the numbers, a country’s economy depends on a number of quantifiable measurements such as its Central Bank’s interest rate, the national unemployment level, tax policy and the rate of inflation. An investor can also anticipate that less quantifiable occurrences, such as political unrest or transition will also have an effect on the market. Before basing all predictions on the factors alone, however, it is important to remember that investors must also keep in mind the expectations and anticipations of market participants. For just as in any stock market, the value of a currency is also based in large part on perceptions of and anticipations about that currency, not solely on its reality.

Make Money with Currency Trading on FOREX

FOREX investing is one of the most potentially rewarding types of investments available. While certainly the risk is great, the ability to conduct marginal trading on FOREX means that potential profits are enormous relative to initial capital investments. Another benefit of FOREX is that its size prevents almost all attempts by others to influence the market for their own gain. So that when investing in foreign currency markets one can feel quite confident that the investment he or she is making has the same opportunity for profit as other investors throughout the world. While investing in FOREX short term requires a certain degree of diligence, investors who utilize a technical analysis can feel relatively confident that their own ability to read the daily fluctuations of the currency market are sufficiently adequate to give them the knowledge necessary to make informed investments.

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.

History of online day trading

The birth of day trading was made possible when the computerized, over-the-counter NASD became available in 1971. Day trading was pretty much the domain of stockbrokers and remained that way until the late 1990s, when the increasing popularity of the internet, motivated the international stock markets to move online. The consequence of this move was that day trading brokers became optional because anybody with Web access could execute their own trades, provided that they had an account with a registered online brokerage. The uptake was enormous, because by 1999, at least 25% of all trades made were done as online trading by individual investors. Day trading online grew in popularity as these investors started gaining online trading maturity. This growth found further impetus with the Dot Com Bubble as many traders could buy and sell the same share on the same day with three digit returns.

What is day trading?

The U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations defines day trading as “Placing multiple buy and sell orders for securities and holding positions for a very short period of time, usually minutes or a few hours, but rarely longer than a day. Day traders seek profits in small increments from momentary fluctuations in stock prices after paying commissions.” With day trading it is common to focus on short-term trading, where a trade could last for anything between a couple of seconds to a couple of hours. In day trading online, the number of trades made may vary from between just a few to a couple of hundred per day. It is also common to finish the day with a closed overnight position. This means that everything you bought gets sold, before market close. There are many different techniques or strategies that you can use in day trading. Some of the more common online trading systems include:

• Trend following
• Range trading
• Scalping
• Rebate Trading
• News Playing

One of the techniques that started surfacing in day trading is algorithmic trading. Algo, as it is commonly called, is favoured by hedge -, pension and mutual funds. It is estimated that 33% of all US and 40% of all UK trades during 2006 were made by algo traders. Algo trading is automated, meaning that the trader leaves it up to the computer to decide when to buy and sell. Day trading can either be done by institutions or by individuals. Individual day traders normally make use of direct trading firms that offer them direct, real-time electronic access to stock markets. For a day trader real-time access is important because it enables them to have a ‘live’ view of movements on the Securities Exchange of those stocks, stock options, currencies, futures contracts, interest rate futures and commodity futures that they are trading online.

What are the pros of day trading?

Self employment - Day trading online offers you the potential to earn really good money and it goes without saying that you will enjoy flexibility in where and when you work.

Stimulation - Trading online is both exhilarating and interesting. It requires analytical thinking and continually challenges your abilities. Every day is a new start - stagnation is not possible at all!

What are the cons of day trading?

Financing - In day trading you need money to make money - and lots of it. Day trading penny stocks could be high risk, so you will probably need to play in the bigger leagues, or at least find a happy (and profitable) balance between the two. There are also regulatory requirements around the amount of money you need in your account. In the US for example, it is $25,000.

Latent loss potential - You are pretty much at the mercy of economy figures, analyst comments, interest rates, and so forth. A single press release or a single comment could turn a profitable stock into a dead loss. This makes your income unpredictable. Day trading online can be highly profitable and produce rapid returns, in spite of being high risk. The risk is mainly due to margin use, and other day trading practices. Naturally, most risks can be managed if you remain prepared, alert and focussed. In example, when you start trading online, you will probably find that you have to exit a losing position very quickly, to prevent a loss. At the same time, you will need to move just as quickly to capitalise on any winning positions you may have. Day trading online can be a fun and even profitable adventure, provided that you have good discipline, -risk and -money management.

“The key is consistency and discipline. Almost anybody can make up a list of rules that are 80% as good as what we taught. What they can’t do is give (people) the confidence to stick to those rules even when things are going bad.” Richard Dennis, on Turtle Trading

LearningForexTradingOnline.com is the idea place to learn currency trading and provides information on everything from the history of the Forex market to how to operate a Forex mini trading account.

You can trade for a living anyone has the opportunity but you won’t make a lot of money if you listen to the so called expert advice online. Understand the key points enclosed and the opportunity is open to you…

Before we look at the key reasons, let’s look at a famous experiment that proved anyone can learn to trade regardless of - their age, sex or educational background.

Richard Dennis conducted one of the most famous experiments of all time, when he taught a group of people with no previous experience to trade in 14 days. The result?

They went on to make $100 million in four years and the experiment when down in trading history.

Now let’s look at a paradox:

Anyone can learn to trade but 95% of traders fail and that’s a huge percentage so what makes a successful trader?

The problem for most traders is they think they can follow a so called expert and think forex trading is easy and the market teaches them some manners.

On the other hand, there are traders who think working hard and being clever guarantees success and of course this is not true. You are judged on one criteria only - the accuracy of your market timing.

Let’s start with your key points that you need to understand for trading success.

1. You Are Responsible

No one is going to make you rich. As in all areas of life you are in control of your destiny. Accept this and you are on to the next steps.

2. You Need to Know the Basics

You often here you can make money by following others and not knowing what you are doing and in no area of life is this true. You have to know the basics and understand how and why markets move and avoid the myths.

3. You Need to keep it Simple

Complexity is seen as the route to profits by many but its not. This is proven by the fact that 95% of people lost 30 or 50 years ago and the ratio remains the same today, despite all the advances we have seen in software, computers, news and forecasting.

In fact - simple forex trading systems work best, as they are more robust in the brutal ever changing world of forex.

Dennis proved this in his experiment the system was easy to learn but a method by itself is not enough and that leads me to my next point.

4. You Need Confidence and an Edge

You need to have confidence in a trading edge - that is what will lead you to success when most others fail. If you don’t know your edge, you don’t have one!

5. Discipline is the Key

If you have confidence in what you are doing then you can obtain discipline and this is the trait very few traders achieve.

You need discipline to trade through losing periods of weeks on end and keep going until you hit a home run. Forget all the rubbish you are told you can trade with 90% accuracy etc - you will face a long losing period and that’s a fact. This doesn’t mean you won’t win, you can but you must ride out the period and stay n course.

The people Richard Dennis taught often said the system was easy to learn, the hard part was executing it with discipline.

If you think discipline is easy - you haven’t traded! It’s hard but if you know what you are doing and have confidence, you can do it and it will lead you to Forex trading success.

6. How Much do you Want Success?

This is really a key question, because if you have a burning desire to succeed, you will do what it takes to succeed and accept that you can change your financial future if you want to by taking note of the key points noted above.

Forex trading is simple to learn but beware method is not enough it is the discipline to execute your method, that separates out the few who win big.

Can You Trade For a Living?

Of course you can - but don’t believe it’s easy - its not, that’s why the rewards are so high. You need the right mindset and forex education and you need too believe in yourself. If you can do this you can trade for a living.

Always keep in mind the market doesn’t beat the trader, the trader beats himself.

If you want success the door is open - how much do you want it?
