The Forex Tips


The forex tips below are all easy to do and all will help you achieve one aim increasing your overall profitability. So here are 5 forex tips for greater profits.


1. Use the Weekly Chart

I am amazed that most traders never bother looking at weekly charts but if you want to separate out “the wood from the trees” the weekly chart gives you a much clearer perspective.

The big trends are clearly visible on the weekly chart and if you are long term trend follower, start with this chart first and you will have a clearer view of support and resistance levels and entry points.

2. Cut Your Trading Frequency

This Forex tip addresses a major problem that most novice traders have – they trade too much.

They think they have to be in the market all the time and chase profits but the fact is, if you cut your trading frequency, you stand a better chance of success. Keep in mind; you only get paid for being right in forex trading - NOT for your effort and how often you trade!

By cutting your trading back, you can concentrate only on the high reward, high odds trades which give the best potential profits.I know traders who only trade a few times a year yet - they make between 120 – 430%! Annually.

Their simply trading the cream of the trades and ignoring the low odds, high risk ones and there are plenty of those.

If you cut your trading, you will probably see your profits soar.

3. Risk More Per Trade

This is directly related to the above point.

If you have a high odds trade take this tip and risk more.

You will read a lot of nonsense on the net about risking 2% per trade and no more.

Well, that’s fine if you are trading 100k but if you’re a small potato trader, trading 10k or less, that’s a maximum of $200!

If you have a small account you need to load up and risk 10 -20% on the high odds trades. Keep in mind if you don’t risk much you won’t make much!

To make meaningful gains you have to take risks – if you don’t like taking risks don’t trade forex.

4. Don’t Diversify

If you are trading a small account don’t diversify!

You need to load up as we have said above and concentrate on one trade only.

Diversification is simply another word for diluting profit potential and is something a small trader should not engage in.

5. Use an Account Profit Target

What s a realistic target to make per annum in forex trading?

You may have your own ideas - but if you made 100% that puts you up there with the best fund managers in the world.

You will often see people look at risk per trade but looking at your account overall and using a profit target is highly effective.

You will often see trades that give you big profits in short periods of time and if they are a substantial – i.e. more than 25% of your 100% bank them.

Have a break and start again.

If you hit your profit target for the year early - decide whether you should trade again at all or at the very least give yourself a deserved break.

The tips above are really saying:

Focus only on the best trades with the best odds, load them up and have a target -if you do the above, chances are you will make bigger profits.

Foreign Exchange Market is Different from the Stock Market

What's the Difference between Foreign Exchange Market and the Stock Market

The buying and selling of currencies is known best all over the world as the Forex market or simply, the FX market. What this market facilitates is the exchange of currencies between to countries; currency trading is what drives the engine of Forex market. It’s been established way back in the 1970’s so that this market exists for more than thirty years now. The Forex market is not tied up on any single business or country, but rather the money making engine of this market lies in the buying and the selling of currencies.

The startling difference between the Forex market and the stock market is the sheer size; Forex market is way bigger than the stock market. In fact, the volume of transaction in Forex for a single day is amounting to two-trillion dollars tops. This amount dwarfs the volume of transaction happening in a day in the stock market of the wealthiest nation in the world. The agencies involved in Forex include governments, banks, financial institutions, and similar institutions from country to country.

The commodity traded in Forex – which is money – is very liquid; easily convertible into cash at any given time, which is the usual thing that’s happening. Investors have easy and quick access to obtain one currency and convert it into another in the Forex market.
Another disparity of Forex and stock markets is the place where trading happens; the Forex’ business arena is the world, not confined to any particular building or slaved of any particular stock market software. Also, the stock market is dependent on the products and services produced in a particular country while Forex includes all currencies in the world.

Given any country, their stock market only opens during working days and it follows a specified trading hour; usually the whole working hours of the day. But its Forex market on the other hand is open 24-hours a day since markets around the world open and close on different time zones. While there is people/institution that’s willing and able to sell you currency, you can trade in Forex. This is the life of Forex market; a 24-hour chance of buying and selling currencies.

Moreover, the stock market for particular country is also dependent on its own currency only; for example, if you want to trade stocks in the US stock market, you can only use US dollar to do so. But if you want to trade currency, the sky is the limit; you have the whole world as your market and thousands of currency as your product. This is perhaps the biggest difference between the Forex and the stock markets.

Who And What Are The People and The Things Involved in Forex?

The people or institutions involved in Forex are usually those that are involved in the cash business like the money changers and those that are involved in liquid assets such as the stocks. This market is large; it covers the whole world basically. The stock market pales in comparison to the Forex market in terms of size. The trading in Forex can occur 24 hours a day and it may even go over the weekend.

Today, the number of individuals involved in Forex is staggering. And this industry reported an average of two-trillion dollars worth of trade everyday in 2004. This number is huge when you consider that it’s valued in dollars and the amount of transactions that has taken place. Just imagine that a trillion-dollar is thousands of millions of dollars already, how much more is a two-trillion.

The Forex market has been around for over thirty years now; so this money making scheme is not new to most people. With the advent of telephones, computers, and the Internet, the awareness about this kind of trading grew even more so that more people are participating in this industry. But even then, the contribution of Forex to the trading that’s happening between two nations only amounts to an average of 10 percent. But with the growing number of interest in this industry, it’ll not be long for this average to go up.

FOREX, Trading Foreign Currency

Forex: Buying and Selling Foreign Currency

The backbone of Forex is the buying and selling of foreign currencies and other financial instruments such as stocks and many more. Each currency has an equivalent value in terms of anther currency; this value is determined based on how one country’s economy is doing compared to the other.

This difference in currency value is what is taken into consideration when trading currencies. Most countries also have ways to control the ups and downs of their currency in terms of another. The institutions that are involved in Forex include banks, larger businesses, governments, and financial institutions.

Investing Money in the Forex Market

If you are someone who’s really looking into the prospects of trading your money in the Forex market, you have to consider that you could incur loses if you take the plunge before knowing what is really involved in trading currencies. Take some time to educate yourself first. There are many only Forex trading games that don’t need to involve real money to learn the basics of trading. What you are going to be facing in the actual trading are the exchange of currencies from one country’s currency to another. These currencies are slightly valued more of less – although there are some that the disparity is huge – than the other. Governments, banks, small brokers, and big time financial institutions use Forex as a means to accumulate, too.

In order for you to start learning, find yourself software that will allow you to trade make-believed money. The software companies offering these programs to you will ask you some personal information (only those that you can give in public) and your particular interest in the market before you can install the system on your computer. The game will allow you to feel what it’s like to gain and lose money as you trade currency with your make-believed sum. You will use real time exchange rate and real time data so that your learning about how the markets behave and how different currencies move in the market is at maximum.

Your game account will also allow you to view the latest Forex news about how the different economies are doing. You can see in real time how your profit grows – or false – following the actual trading that’s happening in the real market. You’ll only need to play few times a week, or as often as you want and then you’ll be prepared to do the actual trading with real money. It’s also advisable to ask advice from real brokers and financial companies while you play the game because you need to do this, too, when you’re doing the actual trading. You also need to gather about the latest on different markets around the world and how their currencies are doing before you make your judgment.

If you’re ready to do the actual trade, be sure that you consult only reputable brokers and financial institutions to entrust your money onto. Be careful also with the rise of online companies offering to broker your currency trading needs. Most of these fly-by-night online brokers are just exploiting the clamor of the people to have easy access on currency trading but what they’re really after is to steal your money from you. Bear in mind that only legitimate brokers and financial institutions can bring you the gain you are wanting for in Forex, and these people and institutions are jus around in your country. You must also understand that there are laws and regulations that govern currency trading. For instance, the United States has one of the most well-defined guidelines in trading; perhaps the most advanced in the world.
