Others Vs Forex Trading

What are the advantages of Forex over other types of investments?


LOW RISK - HIGH YIELD is the first thing that comes to mind.


Forex Trading can be risky and the general rule for investing is: When the return is high the risk is high, but with correct planning and strategy combined with a certain amount of self discipline you can bring the risk factor down to a level that is quite low. It is even possible to strategically plan your market entry and exit levels and control exactly how much you profit or lose.


This can be done in a way that allows the investor to still profit even when they misjudge the market 50% of the time! Compare that to other types of investments.


GEARING, is another area that stands out as a major advantage; this also substantially reduces the risk to you the investor. When you trade 1 forex “Mini lot” you will be trading a parcel of money valued at $10,000 USD


And you only need $100 USD of your own money!


If you trade a regular “Lot” you only need $1,000 USD to trade $100,000 USD.


How’s that for gearing? Try and do that with other kinds of investments!


LOW CAPITAL REQUIRED, many investments require a substantial amount of capital before you can take advantage of a particular investment opportunity, with Forex You only need $300 USD to “get into the market”, and only need to have $100 USD in order to trade your $10,000 “Mini Lot”.


CONVIENIENCE, if you have a laptop and an internet connection you can make a trade in 5- 10 minutes! Depending on how long your computer takes to start up, and the speed of your connection.


LIQUIDITY, many other forms of investing require tying your money up for long periods of time, and if you need to use the capital it can be difficult or impossible to access to it without taking a huge loss (Real Estate).


Not so with Forex trading. With Forex Trading you have full control of your capital.


CAN PROFIT IN BULLISH OR BEARISH MARKETS,


Stock market traders need stock prices to rise in order to take a profit, Real Estate prices must go up in order to make a capital gain.


However, The Forex investor can make a profit in both situations, a rising or falling market.


The Forex Market is open 24 hrs a day.


Can anyone do it or do you need to be some kind of super genius?


Forex Trading isn’t for the faint hearted so be warned, while you can get yourself a “Demo Account” and practice as you learn in real time in the real market.


You can’t experience the emotions that come with putting your real money on the line.


You can however prepare yourself well by using one of the many Forex Trading courses that are available online today.

How To Start Trading The Forex Market Part 4

How Currencies are quoted and what moves individual currencies? ONE of the best advantages in FOREX Trading is The amount of money you need to place a trade (known as "margin") is all that can be lost ! You have to know, that despite the super-high leverage offered by some Forex brokers up to (400:1); meaning if you put up $ 1000 the broker will allow you to trade like you really have $400.000). Forex trading is still less riskier than Stock or Futures Trading, where you can loose more than you have deposited in your account.

But because of the FX market’s deep liquidity and 24-hour, continuous trading, dangerous trading gaps and limit m...

Is It Safe To Invest In Shares Or The Forex

You feel yourself financially able and personally qualified to invest. You can meet the conditions of reasonable stability, reasonable flexibility, and reasonable caution. But nagging doubt remains. Wouldn't you really be better off with your extra cash in a savings account? Or a piece of real estate? In short, is it really safe to invest? Well, how much safety do you require? Since there are no absolutely sure things anywhere, safety must be looked at as a matter of degree. There are no guarantees of success in stock ownership, no guarantees against loss. Even the thoughtful, conscientious investor can be taken to the cleaners. It should be remembered, however, that investment in stocks is a way of sharing in the profit potential of American industry.

Forex Exiting Positions At A Right Time

The presented article covers one of the most important (in author’s opinion) aspects of trading in general and FOREX trading in particular – managing of orders and positions. This includes choosing entry points, making decisions about exit points, stop-loss and take-profit of the trader. I hope this article will help new traders, who just began to work with FOREX, and also to experienced traders who trade regularly and regularly make or loose their money to the market. When I started to trade FOREX and made my first big losses and profits I began to notice when very important thing about the whole trading process. While the right time to enter a position was rarely a problem for myself (nearly 80% of all my open positions had gone into the “green” profit zone), the problem was hidden in the determining the right exit point for that position. Not only was it important to cut my risk on the potential losses with stop-loss orders, but to limit my greediness and take profit when I can take...
