Before Starting Forex Trading


Understand the ins and outs of forex trading first before we decide to do forex trading with real money. If you do not really understand what forex trading is and how it works, do not ever depositing your money in the broker / broker. We must first understand the theory and practice with a demo account until proficient. Once we gain an understanding of which is considered sufficient and practice with a demo account, then we decide if we are going to open a real trading account forex or not.

Understanding is not enough, must be accompanied by exercises to really get. Like we plunge into the pool without being able to swim, it's just committed suicide. Though we know the theory of how to swim even memorized all our swim styles, but without practice and training, it all does not mean we can practically swim. Likewise, in forex trading, capital theory just is not enough to say can trade forex.

Enjoy the demo accounts provided by broker / broker as an exercise. Find information about forex as much as possible. Can search the internet browsing, reading books on forex, participate in forex trading forum and others. It would be better if we have mentors who are ready to teach and share experiences with us.

Forex Mentor arguably the first and qualified to forex trading than we do, and have the experience and understanding of forex trading. Learning Forex with a mentor that would be easier than learning itself.

But let us not be discouraged by not having a mentor. We can learn from scratch by collecting information from the internet or from books. Although self-taught learning will be more severe than if we have a mentor. Many also our trader friends who started from scratch by himself. What is important is the willingness and determination to learn to be.

Many forums, web / blogs scattered around the internet forex trading. we can obtain all the information we need for forex trading. Starting from a paid to a free. Thus, we need not fear can not gain knowledge about forex trading. Forex trading education is very abundant on the Internet, free of charge anyway. If there are free why should pay. Technology is really spoiling us.

So thank you.

WOW! I think that sums it up

Many of you have been reading this blog may have noticed that my blogging frequency has increased over the past few weeks as I got short the market. As you can imagine I am down money since getting short the market, this is the time when most people pull away from posting. But my goal is to stay active and involved and show you that trading is not always rainbows and butterflies. It is times like these that the things I have been sharing over the past couple of weeks are so important. You need to trade small relative to your account. I have a decent short position in the market and my portfolios are set up to make some awesome returns if we finally turn lower. But something I would like to point out is that my account is 70% Cash.  I learned a long time ago how important it is to live by the rules you preach. Because of my discipline I am able to continue to hold my positions, I have time and capital on my side. I can't stress enough how important it is not to get to big....

Stay Small, Stay Out of Trouble

To expand on my post from yesterday about patience. I want to talk about a very important element that allows patience in a position, and that is staying small. If you trade too big RELATIVE to your personal account size, you are likely to be forced to exit the trade before the trade works in your favor. Many trades myself included have all experienced the pains of trading a position way too large given our account size. There is this predisposition out there that the only way you are going to make money in the financial markets is if you are trading 10 lots of options and 1000 shares of stock at the time. This is not the case, and if this is your mentality you will likely ensure yourself trouble. We have all read the stories of traders blowing up their account. I personally think a good rule of thumb is to not risk more than 5% of your account value on any one position. Good Luck Trading! In The Money Trades And 1 favor that we ask:  If you like the hard work w...
more good news from FXStreet : Tom Fitzpatrick, senior technical analyst at Citibank in New York. Monday, July 15, 2002 "Parity is a psychological, not a technical level...and whether we pause around parity or not, we are likely to see significant further dollar losses...Our initial target is $1.03 to $1.0450. If that level is taken out, it actually casts a question mark against the whole of the dollar's rally of the last seven years, and could open up a full-blown bear market for the dollar." Julian Jessop, chief European economist at Standard Chartered Bank. Monday, July 15, 2002 "The dollar is under pressure from everything from economic problems to asset reallocation away from the U.S. and corporate accounting problems. It's difficult to see any positive factor for the dollar at the moment. The root of the problem is the U.S. current account deficit. If the U.S. doesn't have to attract an enormous amount of foreign capital, people wouldn't have to wor...
