If you're looking at trading in the foreign currency exchange market (commonly known as the forex) and you have the classic Pink Floyd tune "Money" playing in your head, complete with the "cha-ching" sound, you might want to read this article first. With all of the forex brokers out there, ready and willing to take your cash to help you make your first trade, it may be a little intimidating finding a broker that can help your profits grow and not walk away with your cash! To that end, as part of your forex training, here are a few tips that will help you in selecting a broker that you can trust and not end up with a proverbial "bucket shop."
1."There is no risk!" Watch out for a company that claims that there is little or no risk in trading the commodities market. Any broker that is legitimate should tell you that there is ALWAYS risk! True, you can mitigate that risk with stop losses, sound trading techniques, and equity management, but there is always a risk involved in trading. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is too good to be true!
2."It's in the background." Check out the company's background. If a company refuses to give you background information on their company or information about their customer's experiences, beware! You may also want to check with the National Futures Association for any history of fines or deceptive trade practices by the company in question. Another excellent source of information is the Chicago Board of Trade. It's there that you can check to see if the company is a registered "futures commission merchant" (or FCM for short). Companies registered with these two organizations are more likely to be legitimate than those that are not. In addition, there is a lot of information that can be found with these two organizations that can help you further your forex training.
3."Millions are offered for the taking!" If a company says that you will make fantastic amounts of money in a short time, run for cover! Like anything else in life, to be a good forex trader takes time, effort, and LOTS of study. There is no magic bullet that will have you makings thousands in just a week (unless you're the scammer!).
4."Be careful sending cash!" Use caution when sending cash over the internet. Make sure the entity you are sending money to has satisfied your background check and that they are registered to business in a country with strong legal remedies in case a problem arises. Be especially wary about sending money to countries that have reputations for high levels of corruption and bribery.
5."Margins, Margins!" Use caution when trading on the margin. Depending on the broker, it may make you responsible for more money than you actually deposited! A key part of your forex training should teach you how margins work and your broker's approach to them before you trade margins.
6."Which bank?" Watch out if a company states that they are safe to work with because they trade in the "interbank market." To date, the interbank market is largely unregulated and is usually traded by central banks, multinational corporations and other big time players. A potential scam by a fraudulent currency trading firm may boast of good prices because they deal with the "interbank market." It is most often the case that only extremely large concerns deal with the interbank, and again, it is not regulated and is a loose conglomerate large business and governmental organizations and institutions.
Now that you have some of this forex training under your belt, there are a few other ways to evaluate a broker. They are: websites that compare brokerages, forex training courses, word of mouth, and finally, checking in with an experienced retail forex trader who has good trading strategies and deals with his or her broker on a regular basis. Doing all of these things can help you make a great choice in selecting a forex broker which, of course, will help you keep that great tune "Money" playing in your head.

Forex Trading - How To Shave Years Off The Learning Curve To Become A Profitable Trader
by Peter Lim
Here is a true story about a professional forex trader.
Bob Aristide is making a consistent 5 figure income trading forex in the comfort of his own home. It wasn't that way all the time. He started off like anyone else...and needed time to discover through the trading world of hard knocks to hone his skills. But then losing money is a good teacher. It forces you to face the truth about your trading. You got to sit up, face the facts and the figures, and work out what is going wrong and how you can be successful. That was what Bob Aristide found out early in his forex trading career. It was losing trade after trade, and it wasn't a good feeling to lose money. Bob wished he could dig a hole and hide his head into the sand like an ostrich.
One day, he summoned enough courage to talk to an old man who seemed to be always celebrating his success in making a killing in the forex markets. Stern though he was, Bob managed to humbly and politely asked him to be his mentor, to teach him what he knew...and of course for a price.
It really accelerates your learning curve if you have a mentor who can shave off years of experience from your self driven effort to learn the best in forex trading...someone who is willing to show you what indicators to use to identify a trade, where to enter and at what price and when to exit, skills that will allow you to pounce on the best trading setups with the natural reflexes of a cat!
It is very rare to find a professional trader who would be willing to reveal his powerful trading secrets and take you by the hand so that you can duplicate his trading system.
In Bob's case, he was pleasantly surprised because this old man did accept to be his mentor, and shortly after, Bob was successfully trading on his own. He never had a losing month for the first year after that training.
The morale of this story?
If you are struggling in your trading, be it in stocks or shares or in forex trading, find yourself a mentor and learn from him. This will shave years of your personal learning and add countless powerful tips to your trading arsenal that you can use almost instantly. If you do not have enough experience, tap the experience of others and make it your own. Then you will find success coming your way.

What is Forex Currency Trading?
by Andrew Daigle
Everyone is talking about it. It's the newest get rich quick scheme on the block and you want a piece of the action. Who wouldn't? But before you go any further, it's good to spend some time to familiarize yourself with some of the basics. What is forex? Forex stands for foreign exchange, i.e. the currency of any country anywhere in the world, such as the US Dollar, the Chinese Yuan, the British Pound and so on. The concept of forex trading implies that one currency is exchanged for another; hence it is also called currency trading. There exists a huge international forex market where currencies are bought, sold and traded.
The forex market is one of largest financial markets in the world. And the amazing thing is that Sunday to Friday, it is a 24 hour market, it does not close daily like the stock market. Further, it is an international market, so it is bigger than almost any domestic stock market could ever be. Speculators on the forex market make money depending on the movements of the market and many have their own forex trading strategy. The most widely traded currencies are the US Dollar, the Euro, the British Pound, and the Japanese Yen. As you can see, these are the world's most powerful economies, implying that due to the amount of trade going on in these countries, businesses in these countries need plenty of foreign exchange.
As a speculator or forex trader, one would take a position on a country, depending on what one believes are the future prospects for that country and then either buy or sell its currency. For instance, if you believe that the US dollar will depreciate against the Euro, as a forex trader, you would sell US dollars right now at a higher price with the expectation of buying them from the market at a lower price when the US dollar depreciates. You will make the differential between the higher price and the lower price per dollar that you sold. Since you did not actually have stock of US dollars at the time you sold, this is called a short position.
The opposite of this is a long position, meaning that you believe the US dollar will appreciate and as a forex trader, you buy US dollars in hopes of selling them at a higher price when the market for them goes up. This is a simple long trade. There are plenty of forex currency trading systems to help you maximize your profitability.
An understanding of factors that go into successful forex currency trading is essential when you decide to become a forex trader, or maybe eventually a broker. The main factors that interact to form the basis for the trade are time, currency, interest rates and exchange rates. A solid understanding of these elements and their interplay is what makes a good forex trader.
The internet is a big driving force in the increased popularity of forex currency trading. With the introduction of the internet into every home, the average person now has gained access to the huge forex market. Earlier a playground for rich individual investors or huge institutions like financial companies and banks, the international forex market is now open to you and millions of others. And people are already tapping it to make their private fortunes.

FOREX - Is it an investment or gambling?
by Mike Malli
There are hundreds and thousands of work at home opportunities out there in this internet world. Are they all real? Experts say lots of them are scam. FOREX and Affiliate programs are the widely accepted get rich quickly opportunity. Affiliate program might need more hand holding or advice from expert to establish your position. Forex may not require any hand holding from experts to being making money or losing money. All you need is some emotion control and tips to buy or sell currencies. This article will explain some tips and strategies around how you can become good in Forex trading.
There are hundreds of firms available to begin Forex trading with very minimal investment. Most of them have robust platform and help document to support your trades online. So, you don't need to worry much about picking a Forex service provider. No one should be charging any additional amount to place the trade like they do with stock trading.
Some experts call Forex as Gambling. This is true in most cases. The only way in Forex is up or down. When the market is on its way up, then the market is on its way up. When the market is going down, then the market is going down. There are many systems analyze the past trend to predict the future trend. But no one can accurately predict. You will not be able to blame anyone if the predictions go wrong. It is just the market is moving. Don't get carried away with predictions.
It is normal for any human being to kind upset in their day to day life. This is the real strength for the Forex. When you are upset, you don't make wisest decisions. It is real easy to get upset when you are day trading with Forex. Don't let your emotions play major role in the trading and most likely you will face the pain when the day is over. How can you over come this emotion when you play the day trader role?
Make sure you don't try to be smart. If you look at the profit makers in the day trading, they don't analyze or research historical data all day. Not spending lot of time with the trend analyze surely will keep you out of your emotions a lot.
Wait for the market news/announcements and this is the best time to trade. You will see big up/down in the market based on the news/announcement. If you picked the right direction, then you make money. You should control your emotion when you picked the wrong direction. Liquidating your position is not an answer if you picked the wrong direction. Look at the overall currency strength. If overall strength and the direction you picked are matching, you can wait for sometime for the market to bounce back. This normally helps to reduce your lose and sometime it may gain you a little profit.
Don't trade during the off-peak hours. There will not be much market movements during this time. Your emotions may not allow you to stay in a static market for a long time. You may tend to quit the position and try with another currency pair. This will make you to lose money even in the off-peak hours.

Forex Trading - This Long Term Trading Chart Pattern Can Make You Very Rich...If You Know How
by Peter Lim
I have often been asked to explain whether it is a complicated matter to know when a trading pattern can result in massive profits.
So I will share with you such a trading setup that has taken EIGHT YEARS to build up. And if a trading pattern takes that long to build up and there is an outbreak, you can bet that the trading action will persists for some time.
What does that mean?
This can mean massive profits to you...if you know how to trade, enter and exit at the correct times.
Or it can mean nothing to you, because you have not learnt how to trade, or you are still sitting on the sidelines.
If you run over to your charting interface or your forex trading platform charting facility and pull up the Yen-US currency chart, you
can see that the yen looks to continue its weakness against the US$ over the next few months!
As of today, the third week of January, 2007, the yen has done two important things that you can benefit and make massive gains if you know how!
Firstly, the yen has broke out of its 8-years resistance trend line in Dec 2006.
Secondly, the yen has continued to rally and is now above 120 yen/US$.
Technically from the chart, we can see no major resistance for the yen until the 125-129 levels.
The key to successfully trading this pattern is to be able to convert this information into trading action...trading action that can mean profits to you.
Long term trading patterns like this always present superior opportunities for you to make good profits. They take years to roll out their cycles, to oscillate from low to high and then to low again. Once the opportunity is lost, you will need to wait years again before another similar pattern forms.
SPEED AND TIME IS OF ESSENSE in this matter.
It has never been easier for you to avail yourself to training and pick up the correct skills to become a good trader. Get a mentor and learn from him, and then you will be able to position yourself into success.
Either you know how to trade this long term 8 years pattern and earn massive profits or you will continue to be disappointed as you hesitate and continue to be a loser. Therefore it is important to enhance your opportunities by reducing the risk ...learn how to trade with a professional trader as your mentor and be successful.

by Paul Bryan

Learning Forex Online Currency Trading
by Paul Bryan
The exponential growth of Forex online currency trading has resulted in setting up of online currency trading operations by many big companies. These websites are of great help when you actually wish to learn Forex online currency trading.
Through these training methods you can learn Forex currency trading easily; you come to know about the secure and safe places to conduct online currency trade, and how to use various online resources and tools for Forex trading.
As you start to learn Forex currency trading online, you come to know about real time market prices, which as a result, enable you to take better trading decisions with timely and accurate information. Your trades are executed instantaneously when you participate in currency trading and take just a fraction of a second on average.
When you open any site to learn Forex it will ask you for some basic information. For example you will have to select the Group of account for trading - a USD 100k account or a USD Mini account.
The brokers offer different options for opening an account. For example they may set the criteria as: "requires $2000 to open and with a 100:1 Leverage and 100,000 Trade Size" and so on.
The Mini account is designed for those who are new to online currency trading and want to learn Forex online currency trading thoroughly and properly. It is intended to introduce traders to the excitement of currency trading while minimizing risk. A particular broker may fix the criteria as "$300 to open with 200:1 Leverage and 10,000 Trade Size"
The next step in learning to trade currencies online is to know about the type of account. You will come to know about various account types like Individual Account, Joint, Corporate, Partnership, Trust and LLC.
Depending on the choice of account type the next section appears, which is the form that traders need to fill up to provide basic information like, Name, address, Identification proof etc.
When you learn Forex online currency trading, selecting the 'Dealing' option is an important part of the learning. It offers you two options of trading: No dealing desk and Fixed spread dealing.
No dealing desk is ideal for active or professional where the spreads are variable and can move sharply and multiple banks provide competing rates. It has no dealer intervention or trade restrictions during news or economic events.
On the other hand, Fixed spread dealings are performed under normal market conditions and are ideal for retail Forex traders looking for a "trader friendly" environment. Once you pick the option and fill in the information wanted by the broker site your online Forex currency trading account is ready to be operated.
The initial sum to open the account can usually be paid by a credit card or any other electronic clearing system.
If you want to learn Forex online currency trading, you can go for the Forex online trading program created by National Futures Association or the NFA.
As you go deep into the course you will get many of the answers of your questions regarding Forex online currency trading.

As you start to learn Forex currency trading online, you come to know about real time market prices, which as a result, enable you to take better trading decisions with timely and accurate information. Your trades are executed instantaneously when you participate in currency trading and take just a fraction of a second on average.
When you open any site to learn Forex it will ask you for some basic information. For example you will have to select the Group of account for trading - a USD 100k account or a USD Mini account.
The brokers offer different options for opening an account. For example they may set the criteria as: "requires $2000 to open and with a 100:1 Leverage and 100,000 Trade Size" and so on.
The Mini account is designed for those who are new to online currency trading and want to learn Forex online currency trading thoroughly and properly. It is intended to introduce traders to the excitement of currency trading while minimizing risk. A particular broker may fix the criteria as "$300 to open with 200:1 Leverage and 10,000 Trade Size"
The next step in learning to trade currencies online is to know about the type of account. You will come to know about various account types like Individual Account, Joint, Corporate, Partnership, Trust and LLC.
Depending on the choice of account type the next section appears, which is the form that traders need to fill up to provide basic information like, Name, address, Identification proof etc.
When you learn Forex online currency trading, selecting the 'Dealing' option is an important part of the learning. It offers you two options of trading: No dealing desk and Fixed spread dealing.
No dealing desk is ideal for active or professional where the spreads are variable and can move sharply and multiple banks provide competing rates. It has no dealer intervention or trade restrictions during news or economic events.
On the other hand, Fixed spread dealings are performed under normal market conditions and are ideal for retail Forex traders looking for a "trader friendly" environment. Once you pick the option and fill in the information wanted by the broker site your online Forex currency trading account is ready to be operated.
The initial sum to open the account can usually be paid by a credit card or any other electronic clearing system.
If you want to learn Forex online currency trading, you can go for the Forex online trading program created by National Futures Association or the NFA.
As you go deep into the course you will get many of the answers of your questions regarding Forex online currency trading.

FOREX Day Trading - Will Lose Your Money Quickly
by sacha tarkovsky
FOREX day trading is big business and there are plenty of FOREX day trading systems tip sheets and guru's who will promise you they can make you rich.
The problem is odds are you won't make money and ask anyone selling to you to show you a real time track record chances is are you won't get one!
FOREX day trading sounds good in theory but doesn't work in practice. Here's why.
Currency movements tend to reflect the underlying economic climate and interest rate outlook of the countries currency and they trade long term. Short term movements within a day are random and are the same as flipping a coin.
Even if you think you can day trade FOREX, consider one of the fundamental laws of trading:
Run your profits and cut your loses
Well in day trading, a short trading session is all you have to make money in before you close your position.
You will never be able to run your profits long enough and make enough money to cover your inevitable losses.
When you add transaction costs to losses and subtract them from profits, FOREX day trading will soon empty your account of money and leave you with losses.
It would seem fairly obvious that FOREX day trading on the whole stacks the odds against you, but investors still buy day trading courses and systems through greed and ignorance.
So why is day trading so popular?
Simply people think it restricts risk, but on the flip side it restricts profit as well - and you need to take risk to make a profit - there is no free lunch.
If you can't run profits enough to cover your losses you will lose pre and simple.
Day traders think they are restricting risk but really they are creating it and stacking the odds firmly against them.
Many people who sell the concept of FOREX day trading are also linked to brokers, who pay commission to them on each transation and there is no better commission earner than someone trading every day.
Fact is, if you want to make money in FOREX Don't day trade - Do what the pro's do, catch the bigger profits from the longer term moves.
Have a day trading system on my computer, says its 91% accurate and will cost me just $99.00!
Wonder if I should buy it?
On second thoughts, Let's give it the benefit of the doubt and ask for the real time track record.
Wonder if I will get one?

FOREX Profits - A Simple FOREX System For Big Profits
by sacha tarkovsky
In this article wee will give you a simple system that you can use to make big profits, even if you have never traded currencies before.
It's simple to understand, easy to apply and because you will understand the logic you will have confidence to trade it with discipline. So here is a simple route to bigger FOREX profits
1. look at the weekly charts
Many people simply look at the daily charts but the weekly gives you the big picture and the big currency trends, which we all want to catch, as these are the ones that can pile up huge profits.
2. Compare the weekly and daily
Look for daily and weekly support and resistance to coincide.
These will represent significant points that if broken will have good odds of the trend continuing once the support or resistance is broken.
3. Forget buy low sell high
The above statement is one of the biggest myths of currency trading as you are trying to predict what may happen.
With this system you will wait for confirmation and only trade when the break is confirmed.
4. Understand this concept
The way to make money is to "buy high and sell higher" What you will do is look for a break to occur.
Let's say it's a break of resistance to trade in anticipation wait for a clear break of the highs and then trade.
It's a fact that most of the major FOREX trends start from a break of new highs and this is the beauty of a breakout system.
5. Understand trader psychology
Most traders can't do this as it feels uncomfortable but it's the only way to make big FOREX profits.
They want to wait for the pullback to get in at a lower level, but of course this does not occur and they sit their frustrated at what might have been.
You on the other hand will understand that you may miss the first bit of the move but there is plenty more to come and that means you will make big FOREX profits regardless.
6. Watch the stochastic
If you don't know what the above is then you need to, so see our other articles or look on the net it's the most powerful indicator to time your entry with and to see how strong the breakout is
When prices break look for stochastic crossovers with bullish divergence.
You can't beat this article for timing so look at it closely
6. Bollinger bands
This is another great tool to use as a filter if a breakout occurs and allows you to pick value areas where you can bank partial profits, or add existing positions.
7. Stops
Breakouts confirm very quickly.
Let the break ride for a day and then place a stop or stop close, below the breakout point.
If momentum fails and stochastics are weak, exit the market on the same day at market.
What you need to do
There is not enough room here to explain everything, but essentially all you need to do is operate this system and it's very simple
Look for basic support and resistance and use both daily and weekly charts.
Accept the logic of trading the breakout and use the stochastic to time and the Bollinger band as an additional filter.
If you trade breakouts and look for significant breaks, you will catch the major moves and big FOREX Profits.

3 Reasons Forex Trading is So Popular
by MK Smith
First, it may be necessary to explain what forex trading is. Forex trading, also called currency trading, FX trading, Foreign Exchange trading and forex currency trading refers to the largest financial investment market in the world. Forex trading is fully electronic and has an average daily capital turnover amount in the area of $1.5 trillion. This amount of capital changing hands dwarfs the stock and commodity markets. Forex trading is the simultaneous buying of one particular currency and the simultaneous selling of another particular currency. If a forex investor believed that the Euro Currency would weaken versus the US Dollar they would Sell EUR/USD. In forex trading the strongest currency is listed first in the pair. Currently the European Currency (EUR), the Australian Dollar (AUD) and the British Pound (GBP) are the only 3 currencies valued higher than the US Dollar (USD).
The #1 reason forex trading is so popular is the ease and accuracy of trading at the forex traders convenience. Forex trading follows the sun around the world which enables investors to trade on their schedule 24 hours a day from the comfort of their own computer. Most forex trading platforms offer free real time quotes, charts and news to facilitate forex trading efficiency. Many also offer free practice forex trading accounts so investors can learn forex trading without any risk. Visit www.tkfutures.com/forex.htm and open an educational forex trading demo practice account. These typically offer the forex trader $50,000 in virtual equity and 30 days to practice forex trading with.
The #2 reason forex trading is so popular is the inexpensive trading costs. Many forex trading companies charge no commissions. The forex trading company and the introducing broker are compensated by the pip spread. For instance, a EUR/USD pip spread may be 3 pips which are equal to $30. The investor is leveraging $100,000 of EUR/USD with a total transaction cost of $30.
The #3 reason forex trading is so popular is the limited risk of capital loss. Many but not all forex trading platforms do not allow trading once the forex account equity amount falls below the required margin level. The forex trading platforms that offer this service will automatically liquidate the currency positions before the account can go negative. There are no margin calls in forex trading for the investor to worry about. Forex trading does offer extreme leverage of up to 100 times the value of the trading account which can cause significant losses in a short period of time.

Forex Trading Tips
by Rob Rens
Although i can never be seperated from my quotetracker charts and systems, in forex one is often faced with the Metatrader 4 (MT-4) charting and order entry platform, which is decent and usable, although far from "geeky" enough for me.
BUT a trick i use with the LRC is one i thought good enough to pass on ---------
can be used on any time period chart, but i find it great on the D1 charts (what we call the 3 (or longer) month/daily charts !
once you have one open, draw an lrc from the LOWEST PRIOR POINT on the chart and then draw another from the HIGHEST PRIOR POINT on the chart (if the highest prior point is just a day or two before the present candle, use a high candle from further back )----- WHERE THE TWO LRC's MEET NEAR YOUR PRESENT CANDLE IS THE POINT TO WATCH FOR A BREAKOUT OR BREAKDOWN. (its either gonna go thru and therefore up or down, depending on its direction or its gonna reverse at that point !)
NOW, look at your stochastics, cci and adx and you will be able to tell pretty well what is about to happen !
IF THE SYMBOL BREAKS THRU this resistance point, the LRC lines that have broken thru and are heading up, away from the old LRC, BECOME YOUR NEW TREND LINES, and each day you should draw another LRC from the LOWEST point on your chart to establish new "breakout points" Essentially, by using this modified TREND TRADING system, you can do away with fibs, gann and all the latest and greatest, cause all the points you need to watch are right in front of you !
once you watch a few of these, youll get pretty danged good at entering a currency reversal --- just watch them for a little so that you can estimate well !
enjoy and trade well

All About Forex Currency Trading and Exchange
by Paul Bryan
Today, the Forex market is the largest market in the world with more than 1.8 trillion dollars changing hands daily. With its attractive features like super liquidity, 24 hours market and better execution, it is also considered as one of the most striking and rewarding market. But is it very difficult to make money in the Forex market? Definitely not, provided you know all about Forex and currency trading.
In the Forex market, if you look at the performance graph of Forex brokers, you will see that some traders succeed while others fail to trade successfully. The main reason is lack of proper trading knowledge.
That means they are trading currencies but they don't know all about Forex and currency trading. Therefore it is very important to know everything you can about Forex and currency trading before you start trading in the Forex market.
If you want to know more about Forex and currency trading, start with fundamental analysis and technical analysis. These are two major things that will help you to understand when the market will move up, what is the right time to buy or sell currency pairs, how to gain more profits and what are the currencies to be traded.
Fundamental analysis includes world news, studying variables like monetary and fiscal policy, political conditions, trade patterns, economic indicators, inflation rates, unemployment rates etc.
On the other hand, technical analysis involves computer charting, using trend lines, support and resistant levels, reversals and numerous patterns, and studying the behavior pattern of market crowds to track and identify buying and selling opportunities.
As you enter into the realm of knowing all about Forex and currency trading, you will have a good idea about the major currency pairs that are traded in the Forex market. Among all the traded currencies, currencies that are most liquid and often traded along with the US dollar are:
European Euro Japanese Yen British Pound Swiss Franc Canadian dollar Aussie dollar
Generally the most commonly traded currencies are those of countries with stable governments, reputable banks and low inflation.
As you gradually come to gain knowledge, you will understand that your success rate will be high if you follow the Forex trading system. The system has its own discipline that it follows rigorously. The system will let you know what are the trades that have greater rate of success and will send signals accordingly.
The Forex market is global and it is a 24 hour market. You can access Forex market anytime; don't worry if it is night at your place, it will be daytime in some other parts of the world and trade is ongoing over there. So if you know all about Forex and currency trading, you can easily use your online currency trading system and start trading.
The major dealer centers and time zones are that of Sydney, Tokyo, London and New York. However, since the markets are interconnected, if any events occur at any hour, in any part of the globe, the investment community gets affected instantly.
Trading successfully in the Forex market is not an easy task. However, if you know all about Forex and currency trading your success rate will be highly influenced.

FOREX Trading Advice - Which Is Best To Make Big Profits?
Author: sacha tarkovsky
Many new traders want to take FOREX Trading advice to give them
success, but what should they look for from an advisory service?
How do you pick FOREX trading advice that can make you profits?
Let's find out.
Here some of the things you should look for in terms of FOREX
trading advice.
1. Know how the advisor makes trades
You will never make money following FOREX trading advice if you
don't understand the logic the trades are based upon.
Why?
Quite simply any FOREX Trading advisory service will lose money
at some point.
They all do, (don't believe track records that look to good to
be true they probably are) so when the losses occur, unless you
know how the advice is generated, you wont have the discipline
to stay with it.
Currency trading success is based around the following equation
A logical method + the discipline to follow it = currency
trading profits
If you don't have the discipline to follow the advice you will
never make money and this comes from having confidence that a
system can overcome losing periods and lead you to currency
trading profits
2. Look for a real-time track record
A lot of FOREX Trading advice is presented with a hypothetical
track record (lets face it we can all make a profit if we know
past data) and they all look great but the acid test is trading
in advance.
Look for a real time track record of the advisor making money in
currencies. That's real dollars and account statements.
Today, many e-book writers offer advice with simulated track
records and simply appeal to the greed and stupidity of buyers -
Don't fall into this trap.
Get a real time track record and make sure the advisor has put
their money where their mouth is and have a track record of
success.
No track record? Then don't buy - PERIOD.
3. Does the advisors strategy suit your mentality?
Does the FOREX trading advice suit your trading mentality?
For example, they may make 100% annual gains but with 80%
drawdowns at times.
Can you cope with this?
Or
Are you happier with lower profits and lower drawdowns?
Some traders like to preserve their capital and others like to
be more aggressive, so only pick a FOREX advisory service where
you can cope with the worst drawdown (peak to valley) they have
had in the past.
4. Look for a satisfaction guarantee
Most reputable sellers of FOREX trading advice will give you a
satisfaction guarantee if not delighted, so only buy from one
who does.
Final words
There is some great FOREX Trading advice you can buy but you
need to be careful to get a service that has made money, to
inspire confidence and one that suits your trading mentality.

currencies. That's real dollars and account statements.
Today, many e-book writers offer advice with simulated track
records and simply appeal to the greed and stupidity of buyers -
Don't fall into this trap.
Get a real time track record and make sure the advisor has put
their money where their mouth is and have a track record of
success.
No track record? Then don't buy - PERIOD.
3. Does the advisors strategy suit your mentality?
Does the FOREX trading advice suit your trading mentality?
For example, they may make 100% annual gains but with 80%
drawdowns at times.
Can you cope with this?
Or
Are you happier with lower profits and lower drawdowns?
Some traders like to preserve their capital and others like to
be more aggressive, so only pick a FOREX advisory service where
you can cope with the worst drawdown (peak to valley) they have
had in the past.
4. Look for a satisfaction guarantee
Most reputable sellers of FOREX trading advice will give you a
satisfaction guarantee if not delighted, so only buy from one
who does.
Final words
There is some great FOREX Trading advice you can buy but you
need to be careful to get a service that has made money, to
inspire confidence and one that suits your trading mentality.
