Explore The Business Benefits Of The Foreign Exchange Forex Market

A. Cost of Entry and Operation:


The modern day Forex market can actually be entered with as little as $200, one of the lowest requirements of any business. Certainly there are advantages to starting with more capital, but almost any motivated person can get involved.


Another significant cost of operation for any business is …time. The Forex markets are open 24 hours per day, allowing you to choose your own schedule. Especially nice if you’re already working at something else. This freedom to schedule allows you to have a Forex business on your terms, where so many business activities require you to operate on someone else’s terms. You can own your own business, your business doesn’t have to own you!


B. Transaction Costs:


A wonderful feature of the Forex market, especially for small business operator, is that there are NO commission charges. YES I said NO commission charges. While most markets charge for commissions in addition to a bid/ask spread, the Forex market only has the bid/ask spread, typically narrower than other markets.


C. Risk Factors:


When operating your own small Forex business, you don’t need employees, or to rent commercial space. You can operate from anywhere you like as long as you have an internet connection.


For each transaction or trade your risk is limited to a small percentage of the trade called “margin”. You cannot lose more than your margin and you’ll always know what that amount is upfront.


D. Profit Potential:


A small business person or “trader” has potential profits that can range from $200 to $3,000 per trade Time to complete a trade can be measured in minutes to hours and might be repeated several times per week.


Markets move up and down. The Forex market is structured so that you have an equal chance of profits regardless of which direction the market moves in.


Leverage is available at up to 200:1. Depending on your business plan, you may choose to use less leverage.


Forex tends to exhibit “trending” characteristics. This nicely lends itself to a technical and rules based approach which is reasonably learned.


E. Summary:


For ease of entry, low transaction costs, controllable risk, and profit potential, the Forex market compares more than favorably with the real estate, stock, commodities, or futures markets. If you would like to operate a business that can be tailored to support your quality of life, the Forex business deserves your serious consideration.

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. This type of LEVERAGE does NOT EXIST in the equities or futures market In the Equities or Futures markets, very often, sudden and dramatic moves occur, against which you can’t protect yourself, even by having placed your protective stops. Your position may be liquidated at a loss, and you’ll be liable for any resulting deficit in the 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. Is the American economy safe? It seems to be. Since 1900 it has been rising in productivity at an average rate of 4 per cent per year. Our Gross National Product is now nearly $480 billion. By 1965, according to quite conservative es...

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...
