Alasan menulis di blog ini

Sedikit mengutip ucapan dari seorang trader sukses, William Echart yang mengatakan "Jika anda membawa kebiasaan manusia normal dan kecenderungannya di dalam trading, secara tak terelakkan anda akan condong masuk ke dalam mayoritas orang yang merugi."

Selama hampir 2 tahun berlalu di dunia trading, saya banyak sekali mengalami kekalahan di dalam trading. Dan saya tahu banyak sekali trader pemula yang juga mengalaminya. Inilah alasan yang membuat saya menulis di blog ini.

fakta yang menunjukan banyak sekali trader yang mengalami kekalahan dalam berbisnis di bidang ini bukan sebuah harga mati bahwa trading tidak bisa dipelajari. Pasar tidaklah memihak, pasar itu adil dimana ada yang gagal pasti ada yang berhasil. disini sudah jelas bahwa peluang yang kita miliki adalah sama. Trading adalah sesuatu yang dapat dipelajari dan bukan merupakan bakat dari lahir.

Banyak dari kita menjalankan transaksi dalam trading dengan tidak didasari dengan pengendalian diri yang kuat serta tidak mempunyai disiplin. Saya akui bahwa saya tidak memiliki pendalian diri yang kuat sehingga saya sering kalah dalam trading. Tapi saya yakin pengalaman akan membentuk diri saya menjadi pribadi yang tegar. Tak perlu menoleh ke belakang dan menangisi yang sudah lalu. Yang perlu saya lakukan adalah membakar kapal saya
dan maju terus menuju medan pertempuran dengan tujuan memenangkan pertempuran.

Tidak perduli siapa anda, pintar atau bodoh, suku, agama, ras atau apapun saya mengajak anda bersama-sama untuk memenangkan pertempuran ini.
Yang perlu kita lakukan untuk menang adalah sebuah sikap untuk mau mengubah diri kita.

The Truth About ForexTrading Programs

Forex Trading Programs.

Whether you’re a beginner forex trader or a more experienced trader, you’ll need a forex trading program.

There are literally thousands of forex trading programs available. Some are free, while others charge a fee to access, but they’re all crucial tools for anyone who is serious about generating an income from trading in the foreign currency exchange markets. After all, without a system you might as well be flying blind.

It’s important that you research your choice of forex trading program carefully. You should choose a program that suits your level of skill and experience, but it’s a good idea to recognize programs that are able to grow and offer more advantages as your knowledge grows.

Things to Look For in a Forex Trading Program

1. Charts

Charting the movement of a particular currency can be a time consuming process. It is possible to find software that is able to follow the actions of your chosen currencies and then generate indicators that will help you solidify your trading strategy.

2. Pricing Indicators

The ability of forex software to offer pricing indicators based on real-time data is a vital tool for any serious foreign exchange trader. You can know at a glance which direction a currencies pricing is trending at any given moment. Most forex software

programs offer the ability to set both buy and sell indicators.

3. Trading Safeguards

Many newer traders lose large amounts of money during times of low volume. The inclusion of safeguards in your forex trading program can help you to know when to avoid entering the market and when to set your stop-loss orders at a more conservative level.

4. Exit Strategy

Any successful forex trader knows that an entry strategy – or knowing when is the best time to buy – is only part of trading well. It’s equally important to understand and plan for your exit strategy before you place your trades. A good forex trading program will

encourage you to take notice of a stop loss indicator at the same time as offering you a trade entry point. This allows you to minimize any potential losses and maximize your chances of a profit.

5. Automated Trading Ability

Some forex trading programs offer the ability to automate your trading strategy. You simply enter the parameters and the indicators you want your software to watch for and the program can have the ability to place trades on your behalf even when you’re away from your computer. This should include the ability to place entry trades and exit trades.

6. No Limit on Currency Pairings

Some forex trading programs only have the capacity to follow the major currencies. While it’s wise to leave some of the emerging currencies and the minor crosses until you’re a little more experienced, you should still be sure your trading system offers the ability to increase the currencies you want to track for later use.

Not every forex trading program offers the same capacities and features. When you’re choosing the right software for your personal strategy, you should be sure you buy the one that suits your individual goals, needs, and personality.

The Triple Moving Average Crossover System

The triple moving average crossover system is used to generate buy and sell signals. Its buy signals come early in the development of a trend, and its sell signals are generated early when a trend ends. The third moving average can be used in combination with the other two moving averages to confirm or deny the signals that they generate. It thereby reduces the chance that the investor will be acting on false signals.

The shorter the moving average, the more closely it will follow the price trend. When a stock begins an uptrend, short-term moving averages will begin rising far earlier than longer-term moving averages. For example, if a stock declines by equal amounts each day for 50 days, and then begins to rise by the same amount each day for 50 days, the 5-day moving average will start to rise on the third day after the change in direction, the 10-day average will begin to rise on the sixth day after the change, and the 20-day average will begin to rise on the eleventh day. The longer a trend has persisted, the more likely it is to continue persisting, up to a point. Waiting too long to enter a trend can result in missing most of the gain. Entering the trend too early can mean entering on a false start and having to sell at a loss. Traders have addressed this problem by waiting for three moving averages to verify a trend by aligning in a certain way. To illustrate, we’ll use the 5-day, 10-day, and 20-day moving averages. When an uptrend begins, the 5-day moving average will start rising first. Traders view this as interesting but of no major significance. As the upside momentum increases, longer moving averages gradually begin to follow suit.

A buying alert takes place when the 5-day crosses above both the 10 and the 20. That is, the average price of the stock over the last five days is greater than its average over both the last ten days and the last twenty days. This shows a short-term shift in trend. A buy signal is confirmed when the 10-day then crosses above the 20-day. The 10-day average price of a stock is more meaningful than the 5-day average price. If the average price over the last ten days is greater than the average price over the last twenty days, the shift in momentum is considered to be much more significant. Conversely, when an uptrend changes to a downtrend, the first thing that happens is that the 5-day declines below the 10-day and 20-day averages. This constitutes an alert that a sell signal may be forthcoming. The confirmed sell signal occurs when the 10-day crosses below the 20-day resulting in an alignment in which the 5-day average is below the 10-day average and the 10-day average is below the 20-day average. More aggressive traders often use the alert crossover as the actual sell signal because it locks in more of the profit. However, the risk of doing this is that the stock may only be "catching its breath" before continuing its advance. The confirmed sell signal could then take place at a much higher price. Therefore most traders consider the signals to be generated by the 10-day crossing the 20-day.

I recommend using the 5-day moving average as a filter for each crossover event. That is, alignment can be used as a tool to reduce whipsaws. For a buy signal, the appropriate alignment is for the 5-day average to be above the 10-day, and for the 10-day to be above the 20-day. For a sell signal, the 5-day would be below the 10-day and the 10-day below the 20-day. If the 10-day has just given a buy signal by crossing above the 20-day average, a trader might abstain from making the purchase if the 5-day is now declining or below the 10-day average. The purchase would be made only if the 5-day resumes its ascent or is above the 10-day average while the 10-day average is still above the 20-day average. If the 10-day average gives a sell signal by crossing below the 20-day average, the trader might abstain from selling if the 5-day average has turned and is now rising, or if it is now above the 10-day average rather than below it. The sale would be made only if the 5-day resumes its decline or falls below the 10-day average while the 10-day average is still below the 20-day average. Traders at stockdisciplines.com have learned through experience that using the 5-day average in this way can dramatically reduce whipsaws (untimely and unnecessary buying and selling). The reason these alignments are important is because the shorter moving average is extremely sensitive to the development of a counter-trend in the stock's price. If a trend counter to the trend indicated by the crossover of your major moving averages is developing, it makes sense to wait for that counter-trend to dissipate before taking action.

Investors and traders might be wise to incorporate another indicator into their decision-making. To increase the reliability of the signals given by the system outlined above, it might be wise to use the 50-day moving average as a context and reference. The best and most profitable time to buy a stock is early in a new trend. Later buy signals carry greater risk that the stock will soon decline (because stocks don’t go up forever). Therefore, if the 50-day average has been in a significant decline and is now leveling off or just beginning to rise, a buy signal using the triple crossover method outlined above has a greater chance of success than if the 50-day average has been rising for a long time, or is beginning to level off or decline after a prolonged advance. In other words, the intermediate-term 50-day average can be used to confirm and "support" the signals given by the shorter-term moving averages. Generally, it's better to avoid buying a stock if its 50-day moving average is in decline. A short-term trader might make an exception to this general policy in order to profit from a snap-back toward the declining 50-day average from an extreme oversold condition.

Mengapa Saya Terkena Margin Call

Banyak trader yang bertanya-tanya " Mengapa Saya bisa kalah?
Strategi yang saya pakai juga dipakai trader lain yang sukses dan katanya sih bagus. Saya sudah ikuti money management yang disarankan.
Saya sudah menghabiskan banyak waktu untuk mempelajari bagaimana cara supaya menang di pasar. TAPI KOK TETAP KALAH !!!"

Hal itu menurut saya wajar sekali karena sesuai dengan artikel yang pernah saya baca dan pengalaman trading saya (yang sering kali kalah pastinya)
dan mungkin anda sudah mengetahui tentang pernyataan " 90% trader pemula mengalami kekalahan dan hanya 10 % yang bisa melanjutkan kegiatan tradingnya.

Saya pribadi mengakui bahwa saya termasuk yang 90% tersebut. Akan tetapi mungkin pribadi saya yang ngawur ini membuat saya makin ngawur untuk trading.
Terus maju pokoknya trading terus, sebab suatu hari saya yakin saya bisa. He..he... Traderngawur mau menang.

Mungkin banyak juga dari anda yang seperti saya. Saya menyebutnya dengan Perkumpulan Trader Penasaran ha.. haa...?

Disini saya tidak menyebutkan masalah strategi mana yang bagus. Bagi saya semua strategi bagus. Bahkan sebuah strategi yang ngawur juga menurut saya
bagus selama menghasilkan kemenangan. Saya cuma menggaris bawahi sebuah masalah besar yang saya hadapi sekarang.
MENTAL TRADING atau juga bisa disebut PSIKOLOGI TRADING.

Para trader pemula seperti saya sering melupakan hal ini. Bahkan walaupun banyak buku, ebook, dan artikel dari para master trader yang menjelaskan
panjang lebar tetapi hal ini kayaknya dianggap hal sepele. Kita lebih banyak memfokuskan diri pada strategi yang kita pakai.
Kita terlalu banyak mempelajari indikator-indikator dan mencoba semuanya.

Mungkin sekarang yang bagus buat kita ialah kembali mempelajari apa itu MENTAL TRADING atau PSIKOLOGI TRADING.
Karena walaupun kita tahu teorinya akan tetapi sulit untuk dipraktekkan. Semua berhubungan dengan kejiwaan yang berarti kita harus mengubah sedikit-sedikit
pribadi kita supaya memiliki mental seorang pemenang.

Apapun strategi yang anda pakai saat ini pasti menang asalkan anda punya mental seorang pemenang. Jadi kembali ke pertanyaan Mengapa Saya Terkena MArgin Call
yang jawabannya menurut saya seorang traderngawur adalah pada diri anda sendiri. apakah anda mempunyai mental seorang pemenang?

Saya mengajak anda bersama-sama untuk memiliki mental seorang pemenang. Semoga kebanyakan dari kita menjadi pemenang dalam trading (kalau menang semua ngak mungkin
saya rasa). Tapi apa salahnya berharap ???

What Separates the Good Traders from the Bad Traders?

There are many forms of investing online. While I can give you a list that is a mile long, these are the most common forms of successful investments. Some of the following know how to invest terms are:

1. Option trading 2. Future trading3. Currency trading4. Stock trading5. Future trading6. Forex trading (or) foreign exchange trading

I want to start this investing online critique out with a story... On a beautiful late spring afternoon, twenty-five years ago, two young men graduated from the same college. These men were very much alike. Both, better than average students, were personable and filled with ambitious dreams for the future.

For the sake of my example, I will set both college graduates off online trading using a day trading plat form. Through a gift, both start with the same online investing investment risk capital, the same daytrading plat form, and the same trading system with precise rules for entry and exits.

Shockingly, there is a difference. After one month, one day-trader went broke / bust, while the other day trader returned a 20% profit.

Have you ever wondered, as I have, what makes this kind of difference in people's trading? It is not always a native intelligence, talent or dedication. It is not that one person wants success and the other does not.

The difference lies within the psychology of the brain. Your psychological mind set is likely to play a larger role in your trading online career than your chosen technique or any other details associated with your day-to-day practice.

Here are some good examples:

1. One person looks at a glass � empty, while the other personality looks at that same cup as � full. 2. Someone may look at problems and call them stress, while another individual looks at troubles as challenges.3. Another one may look at a ship in a storm as an adventurous roller coaster ride, while another human being sees the same situation as a hurricane that has a death call.

I am not the only one to discover this�

In his book, �Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom�, the renowned American psychologist Dr. Van Tharp discusses the role psychology plays in trading success. He divides trading into three Ingredients.

In his pie chart:

-- System is 10%-- Money Management Success is 30%, and -- 60% pertains to the psychology of thought and emotion.

Tharp discovered that the trader's psychology make up of the mind has more to do with his success than anything else does.

However, what exactly is the psychology of the mind?

In short, the psychology of the mind refers to your thinking and emotional actions and responses to any given situation�In trading, fear, greed, vanity, pride, hope, jealousy, denial - all these can affect investment decisions. Although, your aim in the market is to maximize your profit and minimize your risk, thinking and emotions often make this easier said than done.

FOR EXAMPLE - Traders, who cannot control the psychological process of thought and emotion, make the wrong decision - such as the common amateur mistake of holding a losing position in the belief that someday it will become a winner.

Loss aversion is a classic mistake. By nature, humans value a loss. Therefore, you suffer almost twice as much pain losing $1 as you would in gaining $1. Loss aversion compels most traders to hold a losing stock while it plummets downward. This clouded judgment clearly contradicts the trading adage: cut your losses and let your profits run.

Emotional investors hold losing positions because they view paper losses differently from realized losses. An investor also engages in other forms of irrational behavior.

EXAMPLES are attributing success as natural and losses to bad luck.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. When talking about the other devastating effects of trading, if you do not have the psychology of your thought and emotions in the proper prospective the consequences can be devastating.

This is what opens up problems for new traders, and then they lose manage money very quickly in the markets. Most people completely wiped out their finances within the first year of trading. So, as you can see, your thinking and emotions play a big part in determining whether you fail or succeed, but did you know that thought and emotion make up two different spheres pertaining to trading success?

The Basics Of Bollinger Bands

John Bollinger, a long-time technician of the markets, in the 1980s developed the technique of using a moving average with two trading bands above and below it. Unlike a percentage calculation from a normal moving average, Bollinger bands simply add and subtract a standard deviation calculation.

Standard deviation is a mathematical formula that measures volatility, showing how the stock price can vary from its true value. By measuring price volatility, Bollinger bands adjust themselves to market conditions. The trader finds almost all of the price data needed between the two bands. (For more on volatility, see Tips For Investors In Volatile Markets.)

Bollinger bands consist of a center line and two price channels (bands) above and below it. The center line is an exponential moving average, and the price channels are the standard deviations of the stock being studied. The bands will expand and contract as the price action of an issue becomes volatile (expansion) or becomes bound into a tight trading pattern (contraction). (Learn about the difference between simple and exponential moving averages by checking out Moving Averages: What Are They?)

A stock may trade for long periods in a trend, albeit with some volatility from time to time. To better see the trend, traders use the moving average to filter the price action. This way, traders can gather important information about how the market is trading. For example, after a sharp rise or fall in the trend, the market may consolidate, trading in a narrow fashion and criss-crossing above and below the moving average. To better monitor this behavior, traders use the price channels, which encompass the trading activity around the trend.

We know that markets trade erratically on a daily basis even though they are still trading in an uptrend or downtrend. Technicians use moving averages with support and resistance lines to anticipate the price action of a stock. Upper resistance and lower support lines are first drawn and then extrapolated to form channels within which the trader expects prices to be contained. Some traders draw straight lines connecting either tops or bottoms of prices to identify the upper or lower price extremes, respectively, and then add parallel lines to define the channel within which the prices should move. As long as prices do not move out of this channel, the trader can be reasonably confident that prices are moving as expected.

When stock prices continually touch the upper Bollinger band, the prices are thought to be overbought; and conversely, when they continually touch the lower band, prices are thought to be oversold, triggering a buy signal.

When using Bollinger bands, designate the upper and lower bands as price targets. If the price deflects off the lower band and crosses above the 20-day average (the middle line), the upper band comes to represent the upper price target. In a strong uptrend, prices usually fluctuate between the upper band and the 20-day moving average. When that happens, a crossing below the 20-day moving average warns of a trend reversal to the downside. (For more about gauging an asset's direction and profiting from it, see Track Stock Prices With Trendlines.)

Source: Tradestation

You can see in this chart of Nortel Networks from the start of 2001 that for the most part, the price action was touching the lower band and the stock price fell from the $40 level in the dead of winter to its October position of $5.69. In a couple of instances, the price action cut through the center line (mid-January and early April), but for many traders this was certainly not a buy signal as the trend had not been broken.

Source: Tradestation


In the 2001 chart of Microsoft Corporation (above), you can see the trend reversed to an uptrend in the early part of January, but look how slow it was in showing the trend change. Before the price action crossed over the center line, the stock price had moved from $40 to $47 and then on to between $48 and $49 before some traders would have confirmation of this trend reversal.

This is not to say that Bollinger bands aren't a well-regarded indicator of overbought or oversold issues, but charts like the Microsoft layout remind us of what Ralph Acampora once said in an interview on CNBC: "Start each day remembering the basics of technical analysis. Start with recognizing trends and then simple moving averages, and leave the more 'exotic indicators' to last."

While every strategy has its drawbacks, Bollinger bands have become one of the most useful and commonly used tools in spotlighting extreme short-term prices in a security. Buying when stock prices cross below the lower Bollinger band often helps traders take advantage of oversold conditions and profit when the stock price moves back up toward the center moving-average line.

What is leverage ?

The forex deals are accomplished in lots and each lot consists of 100,000 units of any particular foreign currency, to purchase one single lot of foreign exchange a lot of investment is required and that may run into hundreds of thousands of dollars which means the small investors are left out of the fray. For this very purpose the concept of leverage was introduced in the forex trade. Leverage backed with credit, such as a margin account is very common in Forex trade. The leverage account in which Forex can be purchased for a combination of cash or collateral, what the broker accepts is quite popular with the forex traders. Usually the leverage in the margined account is collateralized by the initial deposit made by you in that account, if the value of the trade goes down significantly then the broker may ask you to either deposit more cash, or sell a portion of your holding.

Margin requirements and interest vary among broker/dealers. The amount of leverage you use will depend on your broker and what you feel comfortable with. You can get leverage from a high as 1% with some brokers. This means you can control $100,000 with the investment of only $1,000. The broker sets a minimum account size also known as account margin or initial investment. Once you have deposited the required sum you will be able to trade in the forex market. The minimum security for each lot usually varies from broker to broker. While with the brokers you should be well aware of the Margin call. Suppose for any reason, if the broker thinks that your holdings are in danger and your losses are approaching your margin quite fast. He may ask you to deposit more money, or dispose your holding of the forex lots to limit your risk and his risk.

Another term is quite relevant in this connection and that is variation margin. Variation Margin is also very important and it is the amount of profit or loss your account is showing on the holdings of the forex lots. There is one more point to keep in the mind is that some brokers require a higher margin during the weekends. It all depends on your broker. The leverage accounts in the forex market have actually made the life easy for the small investors. These leverage accounts helps the small investors to buy the big lots of the foreign currencies and in turn allow them to earn handsome profits. They also act as the alarm bell for the unaware investor while making any loosing proposition and in case of the loss it restricts the amount of the loss of the investor to a bearable limit of the initial investment.

The online forex market has further reduced the requirement of the margin amount to a great extent and it is now reduced to couple of hundred dollars from the initial hundreds of thousands dollars. The small investor in a forex market can earn handsomely due to the presence of the leverage accounts in the online forex market. The effect of the leverage accounts actually enables the small investor to earn huge returns like if he invests $300 on 1% leverage he gets to operate the forex of $30,000. The forex moves from 0.5 to 1.5% at the maximum on daily basis and the earnings if taken on your own investment of $300 make it quite a negligible sum but the leverage provides the magical touch to it and it becomes 100 times and now the amount interests you and attracts you. The leverage is the key to make this forex trade lucrative for the investors in true sense and till it is there it will continue to attract thousands and thousands of people towards the forex trade.

Caution - Forex ahead

I remember when I first heard of Forex; I had no idea what Forex was all about, what traps or rewards it had to offer. My head was filled with confusion, worry and excitement, all at the same time.

Confusion because there was so much information about it all around the net, from strategies, datafeeds, trading platforms and backtested system etc, that the sheer volume of information was overwhelming. Then there were all the jargons, candlesticks and high and lows and trends and sideway movements, inside and outside days. I had no idea what it all meant.

Then I was also worried, too. Forex did not exactly have a 'good' reputation in the circles I was frequenting, not in the investment fraternity and definitely not in the public arena. As I looked further in to Forex and tried to figure out what it was all about, I got confusing messages from all over the place. Some people said it was a great way to make money and yet others said it was a great way to go bankrupt...

And I was also very excited about Forex as well. Before jumping on the Forex bandwagon, I'd dabbled in Stock Options. I found Options a reasonably safe way of 'playing' the market and make some money without ruining myself. But I also found it a bit boring and slow. For one thing, because I live in New Zealand, I was limited to certain times of the day where I could make profitable trades and of course the market is not open all week, either. This meant I was taking time away from my family and friends, not a good idea.

With Forex on the other hand, I'd have an opportunity to trade almost anytime that was convenient to me and I've also found that the software that you normally get for free when you open a Forex account is much better then the ones you normally have to buy to trade on the stock market. Not only that, but when you trade the stock market, you still have to pay for your own datafeed, which can be a substantial amount of money and the data is usually delayed unless you pay some extraordinary amount for your datafeed.

So you can see that even before you've made a single trade, you are already starting with a negative equity because of all the expenses you have to incur before you can actually start trading. And I haven't mentioned any of the other costs involved once you have made a trade. This includes brokerage fees and government charges that you have to pay every time you made a trade, even if you have lost on the trade!

Forex on the other hand offered an almost 'instant fix' of the 'just add water' variety, to the problems I had with Options. Better software, easy, 24 hour access to the market, almost all week, no government charges and very, very low commission rates. I did not have to pay extra for datafeeds and it also seemed like a very exciting, fun thing to do.

I think a lot of people have the same feeling about anything new. You buy a new car and it is the best thing...for a month. Things get even worse where money is involved. People seem to jump on any and all opportunities promising great returns and we seem to forget about common sense as we see the five letter word, money...

I must admit that I was the same when I'd first heard of Forex and all it's attractive 'features'. I thought Options are good, but Forex is better! I will make a million in no time at all. In fact I'd lost $7000.00 in the first week! But strangely enough, I made $1200.00 on my very first trade which lasted less than an hour and had made many trades that made anywhere between $120.00 to $4800.00! So what was going on?

I'd learnt a very obvious lesson in that week, I knew nothing about Forex! There is more to it than reading charts and having a 'gut-feel' about a trade. It's quite funny because I knew this lesson from my Options trading and yet I forgot it as quickly as I could say Forex. So, I had to do a quick reality check and 'compose' myself to see just what had happened and how I was going to prevent it from happening again.

The first thing I had to do was to go back to paper trading to make sure I'd still have a home to go to. Then I had to educate myself. I used to work as a software engineer and thinking back, I 'm quite amazed how much time I had spent on learning the ins and outs of writing programs. Why I thought being good at trading Forex would be any different I will never understand. Anything we do needs to be learnt and perfected and it requires time. Forex is no different. The one 'good' thing about Forex is that you quickly find out if you are right or wrong. With stocks and Options it could take weeks or even months, years to find out if you are on the right track or if you should go and beg on a street corner or sell your kids to slave traders, just kidding...

With Forex you know in a few short hours or even minutes, depending on your trading preference, what your next move should, celebrate or 'miserate', yeah, I know there is no such word...however, for a lot of people 'miserate' is unfortunately a real word! The statistics are really frightening not unlike those of gambling. But I think this is where the problem starts...

Most people don't treat Forex with the professionalism it deserves. You have to treat it like a business or trade. And as with any business or trade you have to learn the 'trade-secrets'. Is it difficult? No. Does it take time and effort? Yes, as does anything worth doing.

Against equity Forex

Forex market offers several advantages over private equity, in terms of:

24 hours of free market
The biggest advantage of the Forex market on a balance of action is 24 hours of a free market. Active 5 days a week, the Forex market which gives its equity traders is not the action.

Price stability through superior liquidity

The superior liquidity of the major currencies also helps ensure price stability in the Forex market. But this is not the case for equity, which is a low volume of trade. This may be followed by a consequence, investors in stock market liquidity risk, resulting in a higher price developments.

Higher leverage
Higher leverage gives the foreign exchange market, compared with hauptsächlichbörsehandel all markets. Although in general the means available to the online Forex dealers is 100:1, the influence resulting from the capital is offered as a low margin of 2:1. As high leverage enables the Forex traders, much larger sum of currency, to act as they have resigned. It also depends on the types of foreign exchange brokers takes into account the action.

Potential benefits
Forex market allows investors in the course up and down market to serve and provide service for buying and selling currencies. This serves as another major advantage of the Forex market in the trading of equity.

The Days with Loss and Margin Call Horror

I don’t know how much strategy’s that I tried.
I have read books about forex strategy but the profit is not yet come.
The writer of strategy says that their strategy is good. Non sense!
As long as we don’t change our mental to a winner we will not meet withdrawal.
All of you surely know what is winner mental. There so much book said discipline, not fear, not gluttonous, etc is the key to become a winner. You never become a real trader before you get loss.

Everyone want to become a winner and get rich from forex, but how? I can only say learn psychology of trading. If you can do that, next you must learn about money management.

But I feel if we have had to bounce winner, we have halfway go to success in forex. Any kind of strategy will bring me to succeed
having a bounce winner that's difficult.
Even until now I am not yet mastered its psychology. only is vexed which make me continue to trading.
Justly let of people mention me crazy trader. I often fail but barge ahead.
All important is trying and continue to try.
In a moment surely will succeed. In essence optimism.
I hopefully all of us can walk together go to success.
Amen.

Will I get rich from Forex?

The Foreign Exchange market (also referred to as the Forex or FX market) is the largest financial market in the world, with over $1.5 trillion changing hands every day.

That is larger than all US equity and Treasury markets combined!

Unlike other financial markets that operate at a centralized location (i.e. stock exchange), the worldwide Forex market has no central location. It is a global electronic network of banks, financial institutions and individual traders, all involved in the buying and selling of national currencies. Another major feature of the Forex market is that it operates 24 hours a day, corresponding to the opening and closing of financial centers in countries all across the world, starting each day in Sydney, then Tokyo, London and New York. At any time, in any location, there are buyers and sellers, making the Forex market the most liquid market in the world.

Traditionally, access to the Forex market has been made available only to banks and other large financial institutions. With advances in technology over the years, however, the Forex market is now available to everybody, from banks to money managers to individual traders trading retail accounts. The time to get involved in this exciting, global market has never been better than now. Open an account and become an active player in the largest market on the planet.

The Forex Market is very different than trading currencies on the futures market, and a lot easier, than trading stocks or commodities.


The FOREX plays a vital role in the world economy and there will always be a tremendous need for the exchange of currencies. International trade increases as technology and communication increases. As long as there is international trade, there will be a FOREX market. The FX market has to exist so a country like Germany can sell products in the United States and be able to receive Euros in exchange for US Dollar.

So you know how it is financially rewarding if you traded successfully in the forex market every single day. Whether a bad economy or not, it has made millions taking advantage of the flactuations in the market. And the good thing is that trading is now available to all of us, having internet access and right knowledge creates wealth.

Ok, ok , i got your point, how do I start trading in forex?

Well, forex is like any other investment or business, it has signifitcant amount of loss sometime.But it is better than having a job because you can work for so little time, yet earn so much more. There is a career waiting for people who are willing to exert their effor, time and mind to learning and benefiting from the Currency Market.

It is important for traders to have consistent learning in the market, and not just giving that role of trading to their brokers. The good thing is there are many learning modules out there available through the online universe. But not all guarantees 100% success on trading. Of course no person or product can be dumb enough to guarantee your success. It also demands effort on your part. A factor you should find when purchasing or looking for information is its reputation and quality.

Poor learning = higher risks and losses
Quality learning = happy trader

One highly credited Stock and Forex Investor, Bill Poulos has made some home study courses that has helped made millions of successful traders around the world. And in one of his courses, Forex Profit Accelerator, is not more of a study home course, it is more of a learning system.
