How They Earn a Living

The traditional definition of a forex broker is one who puts buyers and sellers together for a commission or fee. Many forex brokers make their money by charging you a spread, the difference between the buying and selling prices for a currency pair.

Spreads greatly impact your forex returns and vary depending on the type of account you open. As buying low and transacting high is the trader’s goal, a wider spread means you have to pay more when you buy and wind up with less when you sell. In some cases, your broker gets the difference, which is added onto the price of the trade. Spreads often narrow or widen depending on market liquidity and other factors.

Pips (Percentage in Points) are the smallest price unit of a forex currency, which is quoted to the fourth decimal point. Spreads, one of the primary costs of your forex trading, are measured in pips and the slightest variances can make a big difference.
I have worked with many different types of forex brokers and have witnessed the haphazard ways in which clients’ investments were distributed. In many cases, the trading transaction would go into a ‘bucket’, and never actually execute. My heart would go out to the scores of clients who had quit their day jobs, anticipating income from trading forex, only to learn their profits had disappeared due to some alleged violation. In reality, there was no profit to deliver since the buy/sell trade never happened and the broker had to come up with an excuse. These types of brokers operate in what’s commonly known in the forex industry as a “bucket shop.”

From Electronic Communication Networks (ECNs) to retail forex companies, the type of forex broker chosen is a factor in the timeliness and return on your investment. ECNs do not trade against you and act as an Interbank broker in the free market by connecting the major banks and brokerages with individual forex traders. The spreads may be smaller but you know upfront what you’re paying for the service – either a flat fee or commission.

Retail forex companies are glorified bucket shops and are often referred to as market makers, since they essentially create their own trading markets. Spreads are arbitrarily decided, trades are made against you, and profits are distributed at the broker’s discretion. Retail forex companies are attractive to newcomers and those short on cash because they don’t require large investments. If you don’t mind running the risk of having your profits disappear on a whim, then retail forex companies are a good place to learn the ins and outs of forex trading. They allow you to demo trade on their platforms until you know what you’re doing and give you unusually high leverage.

Of the two types of brokers, a forex ECN broker is the more legitimate. They provide a place where banks, traders, and multiple market makers can enter competing bids and offers around the spread amount. Unlike a dealing desk, bank quotes are consolidated and orders are matched to the best bid/offer price on which traders are permitted to trade. Although minimum trade requirements are often higher and leverage is lower, prices are not manipulated, profits can be more stable, and trades are passed to a real trader, the Interbank.

When honestly executed, forex spreads can be a valid indicator of what’s happening with your trade. After years of mistakes and believing everything I was told, I now know to look for the red flags, such as reverse pips, rejected transactions, tight spreads, and delayed executions. These are common strategies used to deceive many forex traders.

An Introduction To Forex Scalping

Scalping for quick small profits is a very popular Foreign Currency (Forex) trading strategy, requiring extreme discipline and focus. True Forex scalpers make between 10 and 100 trades per day. If a position goes against them they exit quickly rather than holding on and hoping that it will turn around. A Forex scalping system aims to make 5-15 pips per trade.
The goal of a Forex scalper is to buy or short a pair of currency at the bid or ask price and then sell quickly when the trade is in profit by a few pips. Using this trading strategy of taking a few pips out of the Forex market at a time, can easily compound into large gains as long as a strict exit strategy is used to prevent losing trades absorbing all profits.

Generally Forex scalpers use the 1 min, 5 min and hourly charts to find trades that can make them a small profit. As the Forex scalper is only interested in making a few pips per trade it is essential to use a broker with low spreads and instant execution of trades.
A few things that can improve your chances of being successful as a Forex scalper are:

- Make sure you know when news relevant to your currency pair is coming out.
- Write down the previous days Open, High, Low and Close.
- Learn some basic candlestick patterns so you can identify them when they occur.
- Draw in major trendlines and pivot points on the daily and hourly charts of your currency.
- Determine the major direction for the day, Bullish or Bearish, trading in the longer term direction will gives trades more chance of being successful.
- Adjust your stop when you are 10 pips in profit.
- If the trade is taking to long to go in your direction or you don’t feel comfortable with it, get out.
One advantage of Forex scalping is that the small targets of 5-15 pips are easier to achieve.

One of the frustrations Forex traders have is when the trend reverses during a trade, because Forex scalper’s get in and out of the market quickly this is less likely to happen. Many people have been successful with Forex scalping, so there is proof that it can be a profitable Forex trading method. A disadvantage is that the risk to reward ratio can be very low. As the profit per trade is so low, one bad trade can wipe out all the profits for a day. This means it is especially important to set and move a stop loss.

There are a couple of traps that new Forex traders fall into when they begin Forex scalping. They may become addicted to making random profits, especially if they are immediately successful. This can lead to the trader taking more risky trades and not sticking to their plan. A second trap is trying to make up for the losses of yesterday. New traders often think about how they can win back the money they lost a previous day, this tends to cloud their judgment and can lead to emotional trades that are doomed for failure.

Forex Trading Common Mistakes

Learning about the common mistakes made in foreign currency trading will help you to improve your skills and chances of being successful. Here are some common mistakes and assumptions new traders make:

- Misplacing Stops
Stops are necessary to avoid bad losses, however poorly placed stops can be just as bad. Before placing a trade the trader should consider the risk to reward ratio for the trade. The stop needs to be set with the traders money management in mind and should not be too close or too far away from the price. Traders should also consider moving their stop as the trade goes in their favor to lock in profits and reduce potential losses.

- Abusing Leverage
With Forex brokers offering up to 400:1 leverage, it’s easy for inexperienced traders to get carried away with the hope of making quick profits. When traders use a high level of leverage the returns can be astounding, but when the trade doesn’t work out the result can be catastrophic. Traders should always calculate the dollar value of the risk they are taking for each trade and ensure that this is appropriate for their account balance. Experienced traders rarely risk more than 2-3% of their account balance on any one trade.

- Placing Technicals On A Pedestal
Technical indicators are great tools that assist traders to make decisions. However making decisions for trades based solely on what the technical indicators are telling us can result in large losses. By considering fundamental information together with technical information you will have a much better chance at being successful.

- Day Trading
There are successful day traders out there. However, for new traders, trading with the longer term trend will be easier and have a better chance of making profits. Longer duration trades give the position more time to move in your favor, particularly if the market is volatile.

- Blindly Following A System
There are a lot of Forex systems out there that promise miraculous results. But if you start trading one of these systems without proof that it actually works you could find your account balance quickly reduced to 0. If you want to use a Forex trading system, a sensible approach is to backtest and forward test it using software or on paper before putting any real money at risk.

- Underestimating Emotions
Emotions can have a huge impact on your Forex trading. Keeping a trade diary will help you to understand how your emotions are affecting your trading, you can then learn to use them to your advantage.

- I Backtested It So It Must Work
A mistake traders make is to assume a backtested system will continue to work. Forex markets are constantly changing and are effected by global and political events. Before you begin to use a backtested system you should consider if it reasonable to assume that the market conditions the system has been tested on are likely to be similar to market conditions in the future.
Hopefully this article has given you some tips on how to avoid common Forex trading mistakes.

Forex Envelope Scalper

The envelope scalper system is one of the most revolutionary ways to make money in the Forex Market based on an age old method called SCALPING. Scalping is probably the method that makes most sense to you and the one you probably thought of the most often: trade larger lots and go for locking in gains on smaller movements multiple times every day. In a nutshell, here is what Forex scalping entails:

1. Scalping is a better way to control risk.
2. Scalping is often considered "easier" than trying for large gains.
If you have ever seen the traders in the pits flashing hand signals to each other, they are scalping. And Forex traders are notorious scalpers because there is zero commission. Nasdaq market makers scalp and so do the specialists on the floor of the NYSE.
LETS FACE IT = SMART MONEY SCALPS FOR PROFITS
We felt there was a need to introduce a viable scalping tool, one that everyone could take advantage of, not just upper tier firms. With the Envelope Scalping strategy everyone can participate in one of the streets most used money making methods...scalping.

What are Envelopes?
What we have developed is a scalping strategy for the masses. One that can be used by the most experienced fund manager to the newbie looking to place their first trade. We avoided the complexities of lagging chart indicators in favor of simple math.
These simple algorithms are used to trade any market intraday; with 5 minutes of work in the evening you are all set for trading the next day.

Why Is This Strategy Different?
• Focuses on the actual trading strategy...not useless pages about what type of computer you'll need.
• Is a unique scalping strategy, not recycled ideas.
• Can be used as a stand alone strategy or as an addition to your existing trading arsenal.
• Recognizes that trading is very much a mental game and covers the topic appropriately.

Scalping As A Trading Style

Scalpers inhabit an area of fairly small trade movements and feed off the table of bigger fish. The casualty rate is high (although this statement cannot be limited to scalpers only), but those who survive are well prepared to profit, in spite of the constantly changing trading environment. This ability to adjust immediately is worth it, as such a skill is necessary to prosper in difficult and quickly changing markets.

BUT WHAT IS SCALPING?
The basic definition of scalping is a trading style in which a trader takes a profit on the first leg of a movement, not allowing the stock any meaningful retreat. It is based on an assumption that it is easier to get a higher amount of winning trades when profits are taken faster, minimizing the cases when relatively small profits evaporate and turn into a loss. This is contrary to the more conventional and commonly accepted approach where a trader lets profits run, risking losing them on a reversal or a severe pullback, and trying to make up for a diminished win/loss ratio by a bigger ratio of winner vs. loser.

Scalping is based on the following main premises:
1. Lessened exposure limits risk. Being in the market for a relatively brief period of time decreases the chances of running into extreme adverse movements, causing huge losses.
2. Smaller moves are easier to obtain. Obviously, it takes a bigger imbalance of potential buyers and sellers to cause bigger price changes.

3 Crucial Points to Get You on the Road to Huge Profits in Just 30 Minutes a Day!

Forex Trading

It's a fact that most people learn Forex trading the wrong way and lose - a whopping 95%. If you want to avoid them and join the elite 5% of winners, you can but you must understand these 3 points for Forex trading success...

The three points came to mind when reading of a famous trading experiment where trading legend Richard Dennis set out to prove that anyone could learn to trade.

He took a group of ordinary people and in just 14 days taught them, then set them up with accounts and they went on to make hundreds of millions of dollars.

In the above experiment, 3 points stand out that any trader should make an essential part of their Forex education.

1. A Simple System is all You Need

The system was simple. It was based on breakout methodology, long term in nature and so simple, that anyone could learn it and learn it quickly.

It's a big myth that complex systems work better than simple ones they don't.

Why?

Simple systems have an edge in that they're more robust, with fewer elements to break in the brutal world of Forex trading.

2. The Ability to Ride out Drawdown

Every system will lose at times and this one would lose for many weeks on end, the system had strict money management rules to follow, to preserve equity which the traders had to follow.

So far you are thinking this all sounds to simple and so far it is - but having a sound, logical Forex method is only part of the equation for success. The next key point we are going to cover is the hard part of Forex trading.

3. You Must have Discipline to Win!

Many traders have heard the word discipline is important and it is - but they don't fully understand just how hard it is to follow a system, through long periods of losses, as the market takes your money and makes you look a fool - it's hard!

You don't just get discipline, its based on a sound Forex education and knowing why your system will win longer term. Only then, will you have the discipline to carry on through a period of losses, keep them small and carry on until you hit a home run and profits.

The Fatal Mistake Most Traders Make

Is to think they can follow someone else and trade with no drawdown and just clean up each month. They fall for the hype sold to them by vendors of sure fire trading systems and robots and of course lose.

The reality as you have just seen, is trading success comes from within and is based upon - a simple system, rigid money management and an ability to take losses, stay on track and keep them small.

Anyone can win at Forex trading but most don't and a key point to keep in mind is the market doesn't beat the trader - the trader beats himself. I hope this article inspires you, to learn the points enclosed and get on the road to Forex trading success.

Currency Trading System - A Timeless Simple Way to Make Huge Gains

Here we will show a simple method you can base your currency trading system on which will always work, is simple to understand and can make huge gains. Let's take a look at it in more detail...

The method we are going to look at is simply buying or selling new highs or lows on a currency chart.

If you take a look at any currency chart, you will see that all big trends start and continue from breakouts to new highs and lows and they last a long time, many last several weeks, months or even years.

Most traders hate breakout trading, because they are obsessed with buy lows or selling highs (even though that's impossible) and they think when a break comes, they have missed the move. They then want to enter on a pullback but the trends don't pull back and they miss the opportunity.

Its not about pinpoint market timing it's about the odds of the trade.Valid breakouts make huge profits so don't think about the little bit you missed, think of the huge amount that could be coming!

Breakout trading works and you can put a simple, robust, trading system together quickly. Let's look at how to do it.

Step 1 - Use Bar Charts

Just simple charts and look for areas of support or resistance that have been tested a few times and are considered important by the market. The minim number of tests is 2 but the more the better and generally, if there in time frames wide apart that's better too.

The really good breakouts only come around a few times a month so be patient, you want the big high odds trades.

Step 2 - Confirm the Break

Not all breakouts continue of course so you need to filter them and for this you need some momentum indicators to confirm that price momentum is accelerating. Two good ones to use are the stochastic and RSI. These indicators give confirmation of whether momentum supports the break or not.

There are other momentum indicators but the above two are a good place to start. Don't use too many one or two is enough.

Step 3 - Stops and money Management

Stops are easy behind the breakout point. The real key to making money is trailing the stop, don't move it too quickly! If you are trading big breakouts, you need to give the market room to breathe and accept dips in open equity. A moving average near a key trend line, is a good way of doing it. We like the 40 day MA, then look for strong level around this average.

Keep in mind you will always give bit back at the end of a trend but the big trends can last many weeks or months and if you get just 70% of these trends, you will make a lot of money.
Breakouts A Timeless Method for Profits
Sure breakout trading is simple but it works and its obvious why.

If you put together a simple system and apply it with discipline, you could soon be making triple digit gains and enjoying currency trading success.
