10-30-094:31a GMT – Small for yesterday was stopped out for a small loss yesterday as US GDP grew by 3.5% – more than probable and technically signaling an end to the US recession. There is still a lot of weakness in the US economy and much of that growth was obsessed by government programs/spending, but [...]

10-27-095:38a GMT – The problem with trend reversal signals is that technically when you back out to a larger timeframe any “reversal” just looks like a minor correction in the by and large trend. We have a similiar situation today with the EUR/USD as it approaches its daily trend support. You can see just the edge of [...]

How to Trade Forex – A Simple 3 Step Plan Anyone Can Follow to Achieve Currency Trading Success
0 Comments Published October 31st, 2009 in 4xGenieIf you want to know how to trade Forex and make big profits, when the majority of traders lose, then this article will show you how. It's a known fact that currency trading is a specifically learned cleverness and in this article we will show you how to get the right Forex education in 3 simple steps.
The first step should be obvious but it's the one, that more novice traders fail to see than any other and the result is they get wiped out and it's this:
1. You need to Learn Skills and Gain Confidence
Most new traders don't bother making an try and learning skills, they think their going to make money with no try, by buying a Forex robot. They should think about the fact that 95% traders lose! If these low-cost automatic systems worked the ratio of losers would be far lower and it isn't.
If you want to win, you need to learn the basics and get confidence in what your responsibility but you can do this quickly because:
2. Keep Your Strategy Simple
When many traders come to devise a Forex trading strategy, they think the more elements they cram into it and the more work they put in, the more money they will make but this is simply not right. Simple strategies are more effective because they are more robust in the face of ever changing brutal market situation. You can get all the Forex education you need to trade successfully, in a few weeks and your all set to trade but before you do, you must pay attention to the next point:
3. Getting the Assess Mindset for Success
When you trade Forex you are going to face losing periods and in these periods, you must keep losses small and keep trading your plot. Many traders get frustrated when they lose, let their emotions get involved and this leads to disaster, as they override trading signals and run losses. If you want to win you need to keep your losses small, so you have your equity intact so you hit and hold the big trends when they emerge.
You can lose far more trades than you win and still make triple digit gains - if you cut losses quickly and have the courage to run your profits
Anyone can learn how to trade Forex, if they get the right education and just as importantly, adopt the right mindset.

In Commodity trading there are countless answers that need to be answered. The good news…is you get to choose…the terrible news is that most commodity traders, stock traders or even forex traders never think of all the questions they need to answer and do not develop a trading plot. If you truly want to make it in commodity trading you need to develop your trading plot…or you have another choice…look to invest with a commodity trading advisor in which you know his/her methodology and how they approach risk.
Regardless of if you want to trade on your own ( preferably with a trend following systematic approach) or allocate to a commodity trading advisor or even groups of commodity trading advisors you need to be aware of time frames and preferably diversify them.
The thought of time frame generally refers to the length of time you would expect to hold the trade. One can trade intra day..( & run up large commissions and encounter slippage) or small term…mid term…long term. More so how you do really define each of these periods is up to you?Again the good news is you get to chose. It is all up to you…BUT YOU MUST THINK ABOUT IT. If you don’t you will become another statistic of failed commodity traders.
No one can make these decisions… and you must determine what fits your personality. You must trade in which it is carefree.. Yes.. I truly mean carefree…
I know that I do not know the future..(contrary to CNBC or Bloomberg). I know that even different time frame charts look different.
In person one of the things that works for me is to simply spread it all out and diversify.
What I do is allocate to other commodity trading advisors that have different time frames… or run multiple time frame models…This gives me some diversification from one of the models I am trading with my colleagues….More so after almost a combined 100 years of seeing virtually every mistake ( between me and my 2 colleagues)… one of the models we trade is multi market.. multi system…and multi time frame… with strong risk management from the trade level…to the sector level…and to the whole portfolio level.
You need to question yourself …do you really want to have a chance of success in commodity trading or forex … If the answer is yes…then develop a comprehensive plot..realize you need to include a time frame that matches your personality and work framework…Or you have the option of investing with a commodity trading advisor in which you know what he/she is responsibility…and allocate to them…

Futures trading involves risk. Public can and do lose money
My name in Andrew Abraham. I have been investing in commodities and managed futures since 1994. I am a commodity trading advisor/co manager of a commodity pool who adheres to the philosophy of trend following. Trend following stresses a restricted approach to commodity/ futures trading. Successful trend following and commodity futures investing requires patience, discipline and actively managing the risk. What sets us apart from other Commodity trading advisors and commodity pools is that we are not only concerned about the return on investment but how much risk you will have to tolerate to achieve your goals.

A wise trader will be able to interpret the benefits of forex trading tips provided in their course of trading. There are a number of different kinds of tips one can find in their days in the foreign currency exchange market. There are some which are more crucial than others.
Though there are forex trading tips given from the beginning of ones journey to learning the ropes of the trade until such time that they are on their own. Fantastic forex trading mentors one would wish to teach below would also be able to grant them fantastic tips of which they can practically apply in the future. The most common tips one will find in their courses would be to wisely and diligently watch the schedule of the graphs. To be able to properly analyze these facts and figures would be vital for them to make wise decisions for their own benefit and profit.
Some of the forex trading tips one will find most helpful would be those which would require them to always be updated. As they will be trading currencies and not stocks or bonds, the daily fiscal standing of a country which owns the currency one wishes to trade will determine the movement or inflation or fluctuation. The rise and fall of a country would greatly affect the value of their money; and if an investor or a broker is diligent in watching, interpreting and predicting future schedule, they will be able to have fantastic profit from their investments - if not, they would still be able to cut their losses at an ahead of schedule phase.

FXOpen is one of the companies that are most responsible for Metaquotes’ (the company in the rear Metatrader) success simply because it introduces features that Metatrader should have but it doesn’t. Alpari is another of these companies and occasionally serves as Metaquotes’ beta-site.
FXOpen recently introduced the first ever MT4 ECN platform and also added PAMM accounts making money managers’ life much simpler.
Today FXOpen announced (http://forum.fxopen.com/showthread.php?t=62155) that it completed the enhancement and testing of another very vital figure – incremental lot trading. With the exception of MB Trading small time traders could not have traded ECN style due to the very large minimal order requirements.
If opening an account with an ECN broker like Dukascopy requires a minimal deposit of $10,000 and a minimal trade size of 1 lot, with FXOpen you can start trading with 0.1 lots. For now, FXOpen’s commissions are about 30% lower than MB Trading’s.
FXOpen’s key doesn’t mean that anyone can show any size of order inside the spread – this would obviously worsen the ECN feed with its liquidity providers. What it earnings is that orders less than 1.00 lot will be aggregated and processed via STP and will be filled when the market moves. These small orders have a slightly higher chance of not being filled than the large orders but it’s a small price to pay for the ability to trade ECN with as low as 0.1 lot (10,000 order size).
The minimal deposit and trade size limitations were one of the reasons why small retail traders haven’t jumped on the ECN bandwagon yet. With it being lifted it should become much simpler. While it obviously doesn’t appeal to large traders, who never had problems trading at least 1 lot any way, but it does appeal to public who would like to try ECN with small amounts to see how it works and then make larger investment decisions based on their experience. It also makes the market more accessible to Martingale and Grid style traders who place large number of small sized orders in the market.
Traders can give this figure a test (I will appreciate any feedback) by using the demo or live environments which FXOpen claims to be like peas in a pod.
It ruins to be seen how the market will accept this new figure and FXOpen’s test would be the ability to successfully place as many orders as possible.
All in all, I think it’s an vital go in the right direction for all brokers as innovation and transparency are one of the key factors driving growth in this market.
It is also fascinating to see how non-US, non-NFA, brokers are giving the US industry a decent fight. With 4% of the clients by now having left the US looking for a better option, some decent offshore brokers are destined to profit as they can offer more trading tools such as hedging and they also don’t have a burdensome and time consuming registration processes.

After weeks of weakness, the US dough made a strong corrective go, gaining across the board. Today’s CB Consumer Confidence is the main event, and there are lots of other events all over the world. Let’s see what’s up for today:
Australian NAB Quarterly Business Confidence was finally published, and it turned positive, rising to 16 points. This helped the Aussie slightly recover. AUD/USD now trades at 0.9180. The Australian dough was also hit by yesterday’s disappointing PPI, that rose by only 0.1% last quarter.
For more on the Aussie, read the AUD/USD Forecast.
In Switzerland, the UBS Utilization Indicator is due today. USD/CHF is now getting away from parity. If you’re into the Swissy, check out James Chen’s recent technical analysis for this pair.
In Europe, the M3 Money Supply is probable to grow more slowly, at 2.1%, showing that deflation is still strong. EUR/USD now trades at 1.4895, bouncing off the support line. Read Casey Stubbs’ analysis about the Euro’s corrective go.
For more on the Euro, read the EUR/USD Forecast.
The British Pound is weathering this dough correction quite well, with GBP/USD currently at 1.6335. CBI Realized Sales are due to double from 3 to 6 points, selection the Pound.
For more on the Pound, read the GBP/USD Forecast.
Moving to the US, the S&P/CS Composite-20 HPI is probable to show a softer fall in prices. An annualized figure of a 11.9% fall is predicted to be reported, better than the 13.3% fall.
The CB Consumer Confidence is probable to show that consumers are a little bit more confident, rising from 53.1 to 53.7 points. Late in the day, Timothy Geithner will be speaking, and he might slip something that will go the markets.
In Canada, BOC administrator Mark Carney will start testifying in parliament and will talk about last week’s monetary crash. USD/CAD gained from the dough’s correction, rising above the 1.0625 support line, currently trading at 1.0684.
For more on the loonie, read the USD/CAD Forecast.
Japanese Retail Sales close the day, with an probable annual fall of 1.5%.
That’s it for today. Pleased forex trading!
