So what is it that the 5% of CFD Traders are doing to make them win in CFD Trading. What are the mistakes that the 95% of people are making, and how can you avoid them!<br /><br />One of the major reasons that so many people lose when it comes to CFD trading is that they believe they have a sure fire winning CFD trading system or CFD robot that is going to make them rich. The first thing to take from this is that making money from CFD Trading is not easy, and it does take some skill.<br /><br />Think about this for minute if it was so easy to win, everybody would be CFD Trading and if a Robot was so successful would you in fact sell that robot? Probably not! More often than not people that develop these CFD Robots sell them and this is how they generate their income and not from CFD FX REPORT. So be very careful when it comes to buying a CFD Robot especially off the back of all the claims they make.<br /><br /><br />The second group just don't understand the unique skills you need to win and they have the following misconceptions:<br /><br />If they work hard they will win but effort counts for nothing in CFD trading, just being right does and this means you have to work smart - not hard.<br /><br />Some people believe that they need to have a highly complicated trading system to be successful, however the opposite is more likely, the less complicated the better.<br /><br />Another portion of this group, believes the myths that can be found all on internet which include:<br /><br />- Scalping and day trading is a way to make massive money<br /><br />- You can predict CFD markets in advance<br /><br />- Buy low sell high is a great way to make money<br /><br />- CFD markets move to science and a mathematical theory<br /><br />There are many more and the above are just a few myths.<br /><br />This group wants to put in effort but they do so in the wrong areas and lose, because they simply get the wrong CFD education.<br /><br />How to be successful<br /><br />To learn to trade CFD is easy anyone can learn a logical robust system that can make gains but that is not all you need for success - you need the right mindset to apply it and this means trading with discipline. It is not just matter following these systems.<br /><br />Discipline is the key to success and you have to understand that you will have losing streaks, so you must stick to your rules and trading plans.<br /><br />Discipline comes from the right CFD education and having confidence in your trading plan. For further educational information feel free to visit the CFD FX REPORT, as they have a lot of educational information and can help you find the best CFD Broker.<br /><br />To be a successful CFD Trader you don't have to just work hard, work smarter, use simple systems and have discipline.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331982799060021660.post-63985317214773597032008-09-11T23:45:00.001-03:002008-09-11T23:45:35.677-03:00The 5 Traits of a Successful Forex TraderForex trading is definitely not for everybody. There are many factors to take into account and the risk of losing money is always present. Some people just aren't cut out for this. If you are thinking about become a Forex trader, you should keep reading. Successful Forex traders have different traits from other people.<br /><br />If you don't possess all or at least most of the following traits, Forex trading might not be the right path for you:<br /><br />You will need discipline. Successful traders don't try to trade "on the fly". Instead they put together a trading system which works and they stick with that.<br /><br />You need the ability to accept risk. Forex trading is not risk-free. You can lose money when trading and you might be prepared to accept this risk.<br /><br />You also need to be able to accept failure. Even the world's best traders lose money sometimes. The difference between them and other traders is that they accept their failure, learn from it and move on, rather than focusing on the failure.<br /><br />Successful traders must have confidence in their ability to make successful trades and in their knowledge of the market. They don't guess or doubt their trades.<br /><br />You need to accept being wrong. Nobody is perfect and everyone makes mistakes. There will be times when your analysis is inaccurate. Don't stay in trades which have turned bad just because you don't want to admit you were wrong. You should instead cut your losses and search for another opportunity to make them up.<br /><br />You need to be patient. Good traders follow their system and await the best opportunities. You don't need to have positions open all the time. You might have a few days without any trades being made. Don't trade just for the sake of it because this is how you end up picking bad trades over good ones.<br /><br />Know when to get out. You need to know when to get in but getting out is important too. A lot of traders have become greedy and remained in a trade too long, only to see a sudden downtrend wipe all their profits out. If your trading system suggests getting out, do it.<br /><br />Be aware of your financial limitations. Never over-leverage yourself. Don't trade with money that you need for other things, such as paying your mortgage and bills. If you do that, you are risking your home. Trade only with money you can live without. This might mean you only have a couple of hundred dollars to begin with but that is fine.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331982799060021660.post-6274604312767845512008-09-11T23:42:00.000-03:002008-09-11T23:43:01.818-03:00Why Forex Trading without a Plan FailsForex trading can and should be a profitable venture. However, the sad fact remains that, statistically, over ninety percent of the people who get into forex trading will lose money. So how do you discover a method for trading that is consistently profitable and allows you to build up your financial future while minimizing your risks?<br /><br />One of the most consistent methods for profiting with forex market trading is using what are known as forex signals. While this may not be the most exciting method of trading available, it is ideally suited to those who would like to get into forex trading without losing the proverbial shirt off their backs. With forex trading signals, there are no complicated systems or instructions that you have to practice, play with, adjust and ultimately pay for.<br /><br />Forex signals allow you to utilize someone else's wisdom while you gain your own knowledge. You will receive a single email on a daily basis and you simply sign into your online forex account and place your orders. After that, you enjoy the rewards of their work while you go about your life as you normally would. The only difference is that now you will be secure in the knowledge that you are not paying for your education, but rather, you are actually earning money as you learn more about the forex trading market.<br /><br />Another key factor in being successful with the forex trading markets is knowing when to start and knowing when to stop. Again, forex signals take all of the guess work out of the equation altogether. Many people believe that they can win each and every day. While this may be possible for a very few people, it is the exception rather than the rule.<br /><br />Placing a viable stopping point on your investments will allow you to consistently walk away a winner without reinvesting all of your new-found fortunes or giving away your life savings. Knowing when to stop is every bit as important as knowing where to invest if you want to be a successful forex trader. Being able to walk away with your profits in your pocket will only enhance your forex trading experience.<br /><br />The only difficulty that should remain when you are interested in learning more about the forex trading markets should be finding a safe, reliable and consistently profitable forex signals service. Look for opportunities to join in with other members and discuss the current markets and methods that did and did not work for them.<br /><br />Look for testimonials from the people that are using the system and listen to what they have or have not been able to accomplish with their forex signal service. Mostly, you should look for one that allows you to join without forcing you to put your life's savings in their hands and under their control. The forex markets are a great way to enhance your financial portfolio during these difficult economic times. If you want to work on securing your financial future, forex trading signals are without any doubt, the best method for getting started today.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331982799060021660.post-80081290491900616562008-09-11T23:41:00.002-03:002008-09-11T23:42:28.615-03:00Forex Mechanical System Trading: Why Not MeForex auto trading systems have become very popular for both beginners and intermediate traders. Many claim auto trading systems will produce better results than any sole human can achieve.<br /><br />Let's address four key critical areas where a Forex auto trading system helps a trader to better profits.<br /><br />1. Complex technical analysis is handled by software.<br /><br />2. Human emotions are removed from the equation.<br /><br />3. Can trade anytime.<br /><br />4. One can back test, and forward test on a free account.<br /><br />1. Technical analysis is used extensively for forex trading. There are a vast number of indicators, many of them involving complex mathematical calculations. More importantly a good system never relies on a single technical indicator but involves several and how they relate to one another. A good Forex trading system uses a computer to analyze these different technical indicators and issue buy and sell signals based on probability of past correlation of these indicators. This is critical as experienced traders often spend hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars learning different technical indicators and how they relate to one another. We all know computers are great at number crunching and detecting patterns. A good Forex auto trading system uses this huge advantage to benefit the trader.<br /><br />2. Any experienced trader will tell you the biggest obstacle any trader will have regards successful trading is their emotions. A good trader must master their emotions and this can take several years. An automated system removes the element of emotions, all one does is let the system do the trades. Fear has prevented many traders from entering a position when the technical indicators are positive. More importantly greed has often turned huge gains into losses, just ask any trader. I can't stress enough that human emotions are a Forex trader's worst enemy. When you have a trading system that you know works over time you just let it run its course.<br /><br />3. Forex trading occurs around the clock Monday to Friday. There are systems that run on autopilot, they attach to your trading software and execute trades without your intervention. Institutions, banks, and large broker houses have done this for years. The main reason are for the two items listed above. Now, consider if you live in New York and you are trading the US/EURO. A very active timeframe for trading is during the European business hours, that would be 1AM to 4AM your time. So why not sleep and let an automated forex trading system do the trades for you. And let's not forget when the Japanese traders are active during their normal business hours.<br /><br />4. I mentioned being able to do back testing and forward free testing on a forex trading system. If I am to purchase a trading system I want to be able to do a risk-free test of the system. Some systems will give you the exact details of their signals and you can then actually go back in time to the charts and see how effective they were. Also many forex trading systems will provide you with historical records, but keep in mind there are other factors involved and you may be observing ideal situations. As almost every forex broker will provide a demo account you can actually test a system for free using a demo account. This is a MUST. I would never test a trading system with real money.<br /><br />Forex trading, and Forex trading systems are becoming very popular today mainly because you no longer need $100,000 to open account, in fact you can open account with some brokers with with as little as $100. Also in the past the systems have been cost prohibitive so only large institutions used them. Forex has always offered huge leverage like 200:1 and for this reason has been very popular. You are hearing more about it today because almost anyone can get started for the very little money.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331982799060021660.post-22838182279821928792008-09-11T23:41:00.001-03:002008-09-11T23:41:48.545-03:00Margins in Forex Trading - Importance of Margins for ProfitTrading in the Forex market is done with "lots" and "mini-lots" of currency pairs. These lots and mini-lots are leveraged money, which is what allows you the potential to make so much profit from trading currency in the Forex. The standard size for a lot is $100,000 in currency, while a mini-lot usually represents $10,000 in currency. What leverage allows, is that you don't need $100,000 to trade $100,000 worth of currency. That's where leverage comes in.<br /><br />If you have leverage of 100:1 then you only need $1,000 to trade a lot, since the money is leveraged at around 100 to 1. Most leverage comes at levels of 50:1, 100:1, and rarely at 200:1, although those ratios do exist out in the world of Forex trading.<br /><br />These are the most common amounts used, though sometimes you might hear about a "micro-lot" being traded. A micro-lot is 10% of a mini-lot and has a value of $1,000 of currency. Usually, though, all trading will be done with lots and mini-lots. The use of lots allows more trading because a smaller amount of money (the margin) can allow a trader to control a much larger stake of actual currency.<br /><br />Margin, leverage, lots, and mini-lots are very much connected and allow the common trader to be involved in the Forex market, since you don't need a fortune to be able to trade.<br /><br />Traders can trade larger amounts of money with leverage than they could otherwise afford, allowing them to make a much larger return on their trades. This occurs because money is being returned on the entire lot, not just on the initial amount in the trader's account. You don't just get the raise in pips that come from a $1,000 lot, but you get the raise in pips from all the money that was leveraged by that lot.<br /><br />This is how a trader can make profit on a .0001 raise in a currency value, because the sheer amount of currency involved is likely leveraged 100 times over.<br /><br />The same can happen the other way, however, so while the Forex market offers unmatched opportunities in gaining profit, leverage also magnifies losses when the trader is on the wrong side of a market swing.<br /><br />You need a good proven trading system to avoid being on the wrong end of a market swing, because as with any market as open and volatile as the Forex, where there's great opportunity, there is also great risk.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331982799060021660.post-63322531016616025712008-09-11T23:40:00.000-03:002008-09-11T23:41:11.371-03:00Why Have Forex Expert Advisors Become So Popular?Forex expert advisors have really grown in popularity in recent years. For so long they were the preserve of large financial institutions, but now they are available at a very reasonable price to the ordinary trader. So why are expert advisors so popular?<br /><br />Well the main reason is because these programs or robots enable you to profit from forex trading without actually having to trade yourself. All you do is download the software, configure it to run on MetaTrader4 and allow it to run in the background. The expert advisor will then place trades automatically for you based on the trading criteria that it's programmer has pre-configured.<br /><br />So therefore you don't really need to know anything about forex trading in order to use expert advisors, although at least a little of knowledge is advised in order to configure the software correctly.<br /><br />It is very difficult to come up with your own profitable trading method so thankfully these expert advisors can trade for you. They are programmed to look for high probability set-ups so over the long term many of these systems have more winning trades than losing ones.<br /><br />This isn't always the case of course. No expert advisor can win all the time. There are still occasions when you will be stopped out at a loss, and ultimately the success or failure of a particular EA depends entirely on the skills of the programmer. If it has been programmed to use sound trading principles such as a tight stop loss policy, for example, then there's no reason at all why an expert advisor can't make consistent long-term profits for it's user.<br /><br />The major benefit of an expert advisor is therefore it's potential profitability. It can take several years for you to devise your own successful trading methods, so you can bypass this steep learning curve by using an automated trading robot instead.<br /><br />Furthermore an expert advisor is extremely convenient because even if you become a successful forex trader yourself, forex trading basically just becomes a job, albeit a very lucrative one, that requires you to sit staring at a computer screen all day long. An EA can be set up and left running during the day and can take positions for you without any intervention needed from you at all.<br /><br />You can often turn them on and off at will and in some cases can configure them to suit your own particular trading style. So you can take a pre-existing expert advisor and tweak them to make them even more profitable.<br /><br />So overall it's easy to see why forex expert advisors are becoming increasingly popular. Whether you are a professional trader or a complete newbie, an expert advisor has multiple benefits.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331982799060021660.post-141202403272722492008-09-11T23:36:00.000-03:002008-09-11T23:40:16.489-03:00An Introduction to the Forex MarketsThe Forex market is known to be a very lucrative market, with trillions of dollars exchanged daily. The forex market is known as an international exchange currency market, where currencies are exchanged on a daily basis. Or are you a trader who is looking for other markets to play around with? Well hopefully, we will give you an introduction to the Forex markets that will accommodate both your needs and inform you of the basic concepts and issues that intertwine with the world's currency exchange market.<br /><br />While these Forex traders know their market, it's simply not possible to understand and stay in touch with everything that occurs in all the types of investment vehicles and markets across the world. Did you know that the forex (foreign exchange) market is 30 times larger then all other US markets combined. As you start analyzing forex charts you will realize that the market often displays some very familiar patterns of price movement, that are known as trends; and you will notice that once a pattern is established, it becomes the most probable course of future price action until the market changes.<br /><br />As always in Forex, your main trading objective is to get into profitable trades most of the time and a trending market is the perfect situation to find this profitable trades by riding the trends until you make your target profit objective of the day. As you fill find mentioned in any article about forex, the key difference between technical analysis in the equities market, and technical analysis in the Forex currency trading market, is the fact that it is possible to participate in Forex trading 24 hours a day, seven days a week. However it should be accepted that forex currency trading could also be a very risky investment as the market can swing both in an upward and downward movement in a split second depending on the market conditions.<br /><br />All that can be said is that it does offer an alternative method of currency trading but should still be ventured into with predetermined loss limits and careful study of the currency market. You're probably thinking that demo accounts are worthless since they don't mimic live trading very accurately, but in the case of currency trading the forex, you would be wrong. There are a number of workshops available that are ideal if you're new to the Forex market and have some experience trading stocks or other products.<br /><br />There are a bunch of benefits that make the Forex market a far superior investing and/or trading vehicle than any other financial instrument in the world. For the Forex trader it is simply a question of deciding in which direction the market is likely to move and then deciding upon a payoff should the market move as he expects within a given time frame. There is another situation in which stop hunters try to move the market toward a group of stops in the hope that triggering the stops will push the market further in the same direction, thus triggering even more stops and so forth in a snowball effect.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331982799060021660.post-15387817692242862032008-08-14T23:58:00.003-03:002008-08-18T12:45:02.137-03:00Blaze Media Pro Multimedia SoftwareBlaze Media Pro is a powerful all-in-one multimedia application that offers conversion, ripping, editing, recording, burning, playback, and much more.

Dennis wanted to prove anyone could become a successful trader and trading was a learned skill so he did the following:<br /><br />1. He got a diverse group of people together who had never traded before and they were of all ages, men and women and of varying levels of academic achievement.<br /><br />2. He taught them a method and the mindset to succeed and set a period of 2 weeks.<br /><br />3. They were then given live trading accounts to see how well they would do.<br /><br />The result of this experiment was - they made Dennis $100 million dollars in just 4 years and went down in trading history as legends.<br /><br />The Paradox<br /><br />The experiment throws up a question:<br /><br />If anyone can learn to trade then how come 95% of ALL traders lose?<br /><br />Dennis knew the answer and its simple - traders either get the wrong forex education or they don't have the correct mindset.<br /><br />The trading system taught was simple and it was just a long term breakout style system with strict money management rules.<br /><br />While the system was simple Dennis knew the traders would not win unless they could apply the trading system with discipline so he didn't tell them it worked and to follow it blindly, he taught them why it worked and instilled confidence in the traders that it did work, by showing them how it could lead them to trading success.<br /><br />Losing is Part of Winning<br /><br />He knew the traders would have to trade through long periods of losses and if they didn't have the discipline to keep going through these periods, they would lose and this is the reason most traders:<br /><br />They won't accept responsibility for their actions (how many follow worthless forex robots? Or mentors) and they can't take losses and keep them small, as they don't have discipline.<br /><br />The Market Doesn't Beat the Trader the Trader Beats Himself<br /><br />The turtle experiment is one any trader can learn from as it shows anyone can learn to trade and the key is not just a trading system, but a combination of a trading system and the discipline to apply it.<br /><br />Keep in mind forex trading looks easy and learning it is but you must have the correct mindset in place as well as a good system to win.<br /><br />This story is inspiring and sure you may not make as much as them but the opportunity is there for all, to earn a great side income or even a life changing income - if you have a desire to succeed, a willingness to learn and simple robust method, then forex trading success can be yours.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331982799060021660.post-42279217738054947562008-08-10T15:17:00.001-03:002008-08-10T15:17:37.938-03:00A Guide to Choosing an IRA CustodianChoose your IRA custodian according to the investment types that you would like to make. Check out the options that they offer, as well as the fees that they charge before you may a decision. Otherwise, you could end up paying more than you need to with a company that offers fewer services.<br /><br />Under the tax law, every qualified retirement account is required to have a qualified IRA custodian. An individual can only offer the service if they meet the requirements set down by the IRS.<br /><br />It’s not that difficult to qualify. Most brokers are approved. Most bankers are too. I would suggest that you avoid the guy down the street that just hung out a shingle. You want someone experienced and someone you can trust.<br /><br />An IRA custodian is basically an account manager, but holdings within the account are deeded to his or her name or the name of the company that they work for. For example, if you are holding a piece of real estate within the account and your name is Warren, the deed will read “IRA custodian’s name or company’s name for the benefit of Warren’s individual retirement accountâ€.<br /><br />That’s why you should be able to “trust†your IRA custodian. The company is basically holding your retirement wealth in their hands. You should also look at the fees they charge.<br /><br />The best choice is a company that charges a basic set-up fee and a reasonable annual charge. Otherwise, transaction fees, check writing fees, processing fees, asset administration fees and any number of hidden fees may be charged, as long as they are considered customary.<br /><br />If you are opening a self-directed account, choose according to the types of investments that you would like to make. Not all companies offer all of the options that are allowed under the tax laws.<br /><br />For example, real estate is an increasingly popular choice for retirement accounts, but the average IRA custodian does not offer the option. With the condition of the stock market, today, the need to diversify is greater than ever.<br /><br />You simply cannot fund your retirement by investing in stocks, bonds and bank certificates of deposit. Bonds and CD rates of return are hardly enough to keep up with inflation, particularly if you only have a small amount to start with.<br /><br />Some banks are offering high rates of return on large opening balances, but for the small investor, the rate is less than three percent for IRA CDs and money market funds. The rates are actually higher for non-IRA types.<br /><br />It’s seems like banks don’t want your retirement money. But, actually, they want to encourage more people from the general population to invest. They are almost guaranteed to get some retirement account investors, since it is the only “insured†investment type.<br /><br />There are many success stories from people who have chosen to include real estate in their retirement portfolios. If you know very little about the market, there are plenty of people willing to help you learn.<br /><br />Your IRA custodian cannot give you the investment advice that you need. But, others can. So, choose the right company and get the right advice. Soon, you’ll be on your way to making a million, possibly even more.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331982799060021660.post-42781868272495832942008-08-10T15:16:00.000-03:002008-08-10T15:17:10.197-03:00Forex Trading System - a Free Simple One Rule System For Huge GainsHere I am going to give a complete forex trading system - It's simple to understand and you can after reading this article, you will have all the details you need...<br /><br />Automated forex trading systems or robots have a bad reputation and this is due to the huge amount that are sold on line with made up track records which are paper simulations - they have never been traded and don't work.<br /><br />Now while this system is free, it has worked and will continue to work.<br /><br />It has made countless millions for savvy traders all over the world, for over 20 years and even trading legends as Richard Dennis were huge fans, so you know you are in good company if you use it.<br /><br />The system was devised by one of the great traders of modern times - Richard Donchian.<br /><br />It's simple and effective and here it is - it's called "The 4 Week Rule" and the rule of this forex robot is.<br /><br />Maintain a constant position in the market at all times and buy a new calendar 4 week high, then when a four week low is hit, stop and reverse and then do the same on the next 4 week high.<br /><br />That's it! How simple is that? VERY. Does it make money, yes longer term it does and is based on simple logic which is:<br /><br />1. Forex markets exhibit long term trends which last for weeks, months or in some instances years and this system will put you on the right side of every major forex trend.<br /><br />2. It's based on breakout methodology which, is based simply on the logic that most major trends start and continue, from new highs or lows.<br /><br />Do not think just because its simple it won't work it does.<br /><br />Simple forex trading systems are always best, as they are robust in the face of brutal market conditions.<br /><br />Its only downside is when markets don't trend it will get chopped incur drawdown, as all trend following systems do - but you can add a filter.<br /><br />When you take a 4 week trading signal, exit on a 1 or 2 week low or high and then re-enter on the next 4 week signal.<br /><br />This will smooth the equity curve.<br /><br />Now most traders won't use it, despite the fact it makes money here's why<br /><br />1. Its brutally objective, you have to take the signals as given and many traders have a problem following mechanical signals - others like it for this, so its an advantage or disadvantage.<br /><br />2. It's not fussy about perfect market timing. You can pick exact market tops and bottoms but most traders are obsessed with it.<br /><br />3. It doesn't require much time. You would think this would be an advantage and it is -but most traders like to trade all the time and if you like (excitement as most traders do), then this system would not be for you, if of course you just like making money - it's great!<br /><br />A System For Long Term Gains<br /><br />This forex trading system is free and has made millions and stood the test of time and the logic it is based on never goes out of date - currencies will always trend long term and breakout methodology works.<br /><br />If you are interested in making money from forex trading, then you should consider the 4 Week Rule - it works and will continue to work and you can be making big long term profits in less than 30 minutes a day.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331982799060021660.post-25873035261807882592008-08-10T15:15:00.000-03:002008-08-10T15:16:19.290-03:00Forex BrokersForex brokers are in abundance and that makes it very hard for someone new to forex trading to decide which is the right company to go with.<br /><br />First off, I am not an Introducing Broker or affiliated with any forex broker. An Introducing Broker otherwise know as IB or an affiliate is a person or organization promoting the broker in return for some form of commission either once off or ongoing. I have previously promoted a particular company from my website but soon realized that this is not in the best interest of my readers and now do not promote any forex brokers. Quite often IB's or affiliates will advertise brokers on their websites as graphics. I was on a seminar where the seminar company was heavily promoting a broker and offering all sorts of freebies if we signed up this weekend. It was clear they were some how associated with the broker and they were serving their own needs and not the seminar attendees requirements.<br /><br />Never rush into signing up with a broker. You wouldnt buy a car without knowing something about it so don't rush into opening a broker account without knowing more about them.<br /><br />Choosing a forex broker can be confusing but here are some tips to help you identify the qualities your broker should have.<br /><br />Low Spreads: The spreads is the difference between the buy price and sell price and is measured in pips. Compare spreads across a few brokers and look for the brokers with smaller spreads.<br /><br />Accounts: New forex traders should look to start trading with either a Micro or Mini account. Once experienced then a trader can move onto a Standard account. Your broker should offer a micro or mini account.<br /><br />Regulation: The forex broker should be registered as a Futures Commission Merchant with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CTFC).<br /><br />Customer Service and Speed: Trading in forex is available 24 hours a day from Sunday evening until Friday evening. Customer service should be open during these exact times. Try calling the trading desk or helpdesk to see if they are open and check the speed at which they answer the phone. When in a trade the last thing a forex trader wants is to be kept waiting for the phone to be answered.<br /><br />Trading Platform: If you use many different computers you may prefer the trading platform that is web based. If you will be trading from just one computer all the time then downloading and installing the software to your computer will be fine. Check to see if your broker is software based or web based. Some brokers offer both options which would be the better option.<br /><br />How Many Currencies: Check to see what currencies they offer trading on. As a guidance confirm they trade most of the major pairs and all the ones that you may like to trade in addition.<br /><br />Leverage: How much leverage does the broker offer? For inexperienced traders using mini accounts should not use too much leverage and 100:1 would be adequate in most cases.<br /><br />Money: Check what the procedure is to fund your account and also to withdraw your profits including the time it takes to do both.<br /><br />Tools: What tools are offered with the account? Some brokers offer an array of charting tools and although useful and well worth having I do not recommend relying on these solely for your trading. You get what you pay for and even though any free tools offered with the trading account is always great, a trader needs to invest in good tools to become a good trader. You can read more about the tools I use on my blog.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331982799060021660.post-69423399945102110822008-08-10T15:14:00.000-03:002008-08-10T15:15:20.973-03:00Investing in Gold Coins is Safe and FunInvesting and collecting gold coins can be an interesting and quite profitable hobby for you or your whole family. If you are a savvy collector very special pieces can be found in a wide array of price ranges and places. Buying from a specific dealer or reputable store is almost always the best place to start, but other possibilities can certainly arise. Investing in gold coins can be a fruitful venture, but there are many things to keep in mind when getting started.<br /><br />The first thing you need to decide is what kind of gold coins you are going to collect. Maybe you would like to collect American Eagle gold coins to start. Another viable option would be start with some of the less pricey coins that are one twentieth of an ounce instead of the traditional one-ounce coins.<br /><br />The next thing that you might want to decide is if you would like to buy just individual coins or entire sets. While entire sets are often quite pricey they are usually worth the money, as they tend to appreciate in value greatly over the years. It can be more fun, however, to collect individual coins and try to find that diamond in the rough with your son, daughter, grandson or granddaughter. Spending quality time with loved ones participating in a shared interest is always a good investment.<br /><br />A third decision that you might want to make is what country you would like to buy coins from. Maybe you would like to invest in ancient coins from Rome or Greece. It's possible that you have family from a certain place in the world and you would like to buy coins from there. Maybe you would prefer to invest in more modern day Canadian Maples or South African Kruggerands. A good place to start, and a path that many collectors and investors take is that of the American Eagle gold coins.<br /><br />The American Eagle gold coins were first issued by the United States Mint in 1986 and over the years have became the #1 most collected gold bullion coins in the world. One of the major advantages to buying an authentic American Eagle gold coin is that they are minted by the United States government, guaranteeing you are buying a coin whose weight, content and purity are scrupulously kept within stringent standards. These coins oftentimes hold their value quite independently of the stocks or bonds market and are easily made liquid, making them a savvy investment.<br /><br />So whether you're in it to make money or you just want to find a nice hobby to spend some more time with your kids, gold coin collecting might be the perfect fit for you.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331982799060021660.post-27694008395775326202008-07-12T23:13:00.001-03:002008-07-12T23:14:02.200-03:00Choosing the Best Mutual FundMutual Funds are investment vehicles with their funds invested in securities such as stocks, money market instruments and bonds. Operated by a third party money manager, mutual funds seek to invest in securities that will produce capital gains for their investors. However, as with any investing, there is a risk for money loss. So the question is, How do I Choose the right mutual fund?<br /><br />First of all, all mutual funds have huge advantages over investments in particular stocks or other securities. These funds are professionally managed by a money manager working for your investment firm. This gives the average person the chance to have a diversified and well managed portfolio that would be difficult to develop alone.<br /><br />Now, When it comes to choosing a fund, many people have different methods. One popular method is to study the past performance, which can be obtained through a simple google search. But, can how a fund did in the past really give us any clue as to how it will do in the future? The obvious answer is no, although past performance is important in determining the credibility of the fund manager's decisions. However, there is no way of knowing what may happen in the future that may affect the securities of the fund.<br /><br />If you want you can choose a growth fund, which is a fund with holdings in companies that the fund manager feels can sustain growth at the present time. There are also value funds, which have holdings in companies that seem as though their value has not been completely realixed. Or, you can choose a blended mutual fund, which is a mix of the two previous mentioned types. It is up to the investor to find the fund that will suit them best. For example, a growth fund may spend several years dwindling around the same value because that particular market is not ready to grow. But, when it is, one can expect large yields from the fund as the companies expand to meet the growing demands of their market.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331982799060021660.post-73615176195661847832008-07-11T19:03:00.000-03:002008-07-11T19:16:00.994-03:00Zenni Optical was on FOX news!At <a href="http://zennioptical.com/cart/home.php">ZenniOptical.com</a> I can found eyeglasses from $ 8 like the Zenni Optical $ 8 Rx Eyeglasses model.<br />The website contains lots of models to choose from and latest too.

This market has been growing extremely fast with the introduction of high speed internet. This has allowed individuals all over the world to trade in the market, which has grown to over three trillion dollars a day. The problem is that most people don't know what they're doing. It is estimated that 95% of traders are losing money. This means there is a huge problem with their style of training and information they're using. I'm going to share a little about what I know.<br /><br />The news is a great source of information that can really help boost the potential of a profitable trade. Even though you're never going to hear someone talk about forex, you will hear them talk about the economy and that is the foundation that holds of a solid currency. If you just extrapolate the economic news to how it will affect the currency market, you'll be two steps ahead of everyone else. The most popular ones are GDP growth, inflation, interest rates, unemployment, etc. If they show good signs for the economy, than it's good for the currency. If it's bad news, it is bad for currency.<br /><br />You're also going to notice that this market takes up a lot of time. In fact, a 24hr period of time each day for trading. That can really put you at a disadvantage of having to sell down trades at the end of the day, even though if you were capable of watching in for the next 24hrs you'd probably do good. Get a software package to watch it for you. They're programmed to make the most profitable decision.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331982799060021660.post-8516480917940221792008-07-09T19:06:00.006-03:002008-07-12T21:46:09.466-03:00Beautiful Stylish New Frames From Zenni OpticalI think this will be a good news for those who want to buy a stylish sun glasses over the internet. <a href="http://zennioptical.com/cart/home.php">zennioptical.com</a>, Sells Stylish Prescription Glasses Online.

However, an investor really needs to analyze various investment alternatives in the aviation industry before making the right decision.<br /><br />An aviation company operating in a niche market has greater chances of success in this competitive industry. It can be a wise decision to invest in such companies because operating margins and bottom line profitability of such companies will be typically higher than those serving different segments. In other words, a focused aviation company with targeted market approach can make more money in the business.<br /><br />Investing in a new start up typically provide greater potential to earn large profits because such investments are acquired at lower PE multiples or attractive valuations. When such newly listed companies start performing, they catch the eye of investors and become more valuable. The stock price of such companies multiple, as performance levels become better and better. Therefore, the chances to multiple your profit over and above the industry returns is quite high.<br /><br />One such company in the aviation sector is Baltia Air Lines, which is launching services to numerous destinations in Russia. By looking at the prospects of growing air travel to Russia, the airline does appear to be an attractive investment opportunity at this stage.<br /><br />Baltia will be offering three passenger classes along with cargo and mail services. Therefore, the company will be offering diversified services, which reduces its risk in terms of dependency on one service segment. Further, the pricing is expected to be economical, which will be a major strength of the company in this sector.<br /><br />Baltia is targeting a niche market and is connecting two major countries of the world. The airline is connecting two important cities of the world- New York and St. Petersburg. It will fly from New York's JFK to St. Petersburg. Another feather in its cap is that the time total journey time will be much less as compared to other airlines serving this sector.<br /><br />People will love to board Baltia in this sector due to the multiple benefits offered by the airlines.<br /><br />Baltia's non-stop services in this sector will attract those customers who are interested in getting home early. It will be difficult for other airlines to compete with Baltia in this route.<br /><br />The airline is surely on its way to success in this busy but underserved sector. As soon as the airline is launched, it is expected to attract high number of passengers in this sector. Therefore, an investment in Baltia can generate multiple returns for a savvy investor in the future. This is a right time to consider this company as a serious long time investment. As soon as the company will launch its service, it will catch the eyes of investors and stock price is expected to boost.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331982799060021660.post-36311489763857401152008-07-09T12:30:00.005-03:002008-07-09T12:35:01.052-03:00Zenni Optical: Desing inovatorTo buy eyeglasses involves many variable.

Its very important to make sure you make the right choice, as this will have an effect on your profit. Do not make the mistake of not figuring this out in the beginning. It will come back to cause you loss.<br /><br />This decision making is like when you are about to buy a car. You usually do thorough research on different aspects of the car such as type, price and safety. The same type of vigilance is paramount when trying to know where to put your cash.<br /><br />This decision encompasses a number of factors:<br /><br />1) You need to figure out how tolerant you are to risk this is called your risk tolerance.This is affected by a number of things. For instance how quickly you want to make money as well as age and financial goals<br /><br />2) Learn and research about the different types of investing possibilities out there. The internet has a large resource base for you to learn as much about investing as you want use that!<br /><br />3) There are different styles of investing out there for instance you could be what is called a growth investor who is interested in long term gains rather than short term gain. Make sure you know where you stand as this will affect what you invest in.<br /><br />4) The most important factor to consider when choosing where you invest are your financial goals. What do you want to get out of the investment will make a big difference in what you invest in.<br /><br />Its vitally important to learn as much about the investment world as possible. This can be done by researching the numerous resources online, borrowing books from your library and taking online courses. The good news is that there is even an opportunity online to invest for fake without actually forking out your cash. This will allow you to learn without risking any money.<br /><br />On the internet there are different investor games for you to practice. Go to any search engine and search for investments games, stock market games or stock market simulations. This will allow you lots of practice before the real deal. For those investments without games to practice you will unfortunately have to get as much theoretical learning as possible before you begin.<br /><br />Another important factor to note when researching where to invest is, past performance by other investors. This of course is common sense sort of learn from other peoples experiences.<br /><br />A good starting point would be to start with the basics. Get for yourself as many investing books for beginners and subscribe to online e-courses which will help you learn the basics. Do not go straight to intermediate and advanced information as this might confuse you and cause you to make mistakes.<br /><br />On a final note go and have a consultation with a financial advisor. You can discuss all the above factors with them, from your goals to your risk tolerance. A plan will be made and this will allow you to get closer to your aspirations.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331982799060021660.post-85307294573531208842008-07-08T13:42:00.004-03:002008-07-08T14:07:12.599-03:00Variable Dimension Frames From Zenni OpticalEyeglasses are definitely a personal fashion and style item, and to that end the <a href="http://zennioptical.com/cart/home.php?cat=30">zennioptical.com</a> strive to provide a fashionable and stylish product.

There is always a silver lining. The needle is somewhere in the haystack , if you look hard enough for it.<br /><br />So, the bad news is we have some issues with the economy. Stock market woes, rising oil costs, unemployment and job loss due to outsourcing are a few of the concerns. Let's concentrate on the stock market for now.<br /><br />Does anyone think the reporters get commissions on how many bad things they can report on? The "mad currency guy on TV".. can he be any more negative? A skeptic may wonder if he recommends selling to everyone; then goes and buys up what he wants at reduced prices.<br /><br />Newsflash: The stock market goes up and it goes down. Recently its been trending down. Not a reason to go sell off your whole portfolio.<br />Quite the contrary, some crazy aggressive people may say. Who are these brash, radical people?<br /><br />Well, history tells us just how several of the wealthiest investors built their fortunes. They used a is a simple formula that most, if not all of us, are familiar with . Its called BL-SH ( BUY LOW and SELL HIGH).<br /><br />Have you ever heard of investment gurus Peter Lynch, Warren Buffett, and Ben Graham (the pioneer of value investing)? What about real estate tycoons Steve Wynn (Mr. Las Vegas), Donald Trump and Conrad Hilton (you may know of his great granddaughter Paris, or you may have stayed in one of his hotels somewhere on the planet)?<br /><br />What quality do all of these giants have in common? Other than putting their pants on the same way... they all subscribe to the BL-SH method.This is one way to gather great wealth. When the masses are selling scared (thanks to a ultra negative media), who do you think is gobbling up these companies at extremely reduced prices?<br /><br />Here is a case history of 3 solid NYSE companies.<br /><br />Johnson and Johnson (JNJ) in 2002 was at a high of $65 and crashed to a low of $41 in 2002. The proverbial sky was falling, people were very nervous and JNJ was in major trouble as the market was going "bad". Some bad periods last longer than others. Nonetheless, JNJ keeps doing what it does best, making baby shampoos and powders and other household items we've all used since we can remember. So did JNJ survive? In the last 3 years JNJ had traded between $59- 70 and today is at $64. Wish I bought in 2002 when everyone was seilling in the $40's.<br /><br />Abbott Labs(ABT)is another rock solid company. Similarly, it was at $58 in 2002 and went all the way to $29 ( people lost 50% of their investment, IF THEY SOLD). The last three years its been between $37-61 and today its at $53. Another one I'd love to have bought, even in the high $30's.<br /><br />Stryker(SYK) is another incredible cash cow. In 2002 investors of Stryker saw it go from $33 to 21.. a 34% decline for a rock soilid company. Cause for concern?? The people buying in the last three years have seen Stryker in a $39-77 range, and today at a tempting $62. Stryker has increased its earnings 10-20% per year, for as long as I can remember, and if management is correct, the future looks pretty bright too.<br /><br />Enough math. The point is if you own solid companies, why get all nervous and sell because some so called "expert" on tv has told you all the scary reasons why our economy is doomed? As always, do your homework and buy good solid companies with track records that consistently churn out a profit. Sell, if you think there is a good , viable reason to sell. Look around. Have your adviser/ broker/ investment person find you 10-20 stocks that are rock solid. There are several hundred out there to choose from. And, they are "on sale".<br /><br />Don't forget a few famous laws of physics. For every action there is a reaction. For every problem, there is an opportunity for those looking.<br /><br />There is an old saying "Don t be afraid to go out on a limb, for that is where the fruit is". The great news is some of that "bargain fruit" may turn out quite tasty.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331982799060021660.post-64983024733698459882008-07-06T14:11:00.000-03:002008-07-06T14:12:26.933-03:00Investing Basics and PreparationsMany investors have lost money in stock markets or even when they placed money in bonds. Some have found themselves sinking deeper into debts. The more unfortunate ones have declared bankruptcy. All these happen because of insufficient preparations and knowledge.<br /><br />How then, should one prepare herself before investing? In the following paragraphs are important information that will assist you on the path towards an optimal financial future.<br /><br />Investing consists of mainly lending and owning instruments. Lending instruments include bonds, treasury bills and bank certificate of deposits. In each of these cases, you're paid an agreed upon interest after lending your money to the specific organizations. The organizations also guarantee the original investment returned to you after a specific period of time.<br /><br />There is also the ownership investment class which is preferred by most moderate or aggressive investors. This class includes stocks, property and small businesses. Stock prices are determined by whether the company becomes better off or worse off. Property prices are usually affected by the well being of the local economy. Small businesses give the choice of whether to participate in their operations or just simply injecting money into them and watch their growth.<br /><br />It is often advocated in every investment book or article to plan before you step onto any investment path. Nothing is truer than that. It is important to set goals for yourself before embarking onto any investment vehicle. Check how much you have yet to clear for your house or credit card debts for example. Plan for at least five years ahead. What do you want to achieve then? After you establish where you want to be, chart your course by working backwards. At the same time, the steps taken must be sensible, not far-fetched and most importantly, you must feel comfortable and happy with it. Or else, there is no point in it either.<br /><br />Other than charting a course, there are certain habits that should be eliminated as well. As an analogy, take your life to be a boat in the vast sea. Try best to mend holes in the boat so that cash will not flow out and ensure that there will not be an influx of debts. Simultaneously, try to eliminate the debts as well. By that, you have to start with the debts which incur the highest interest rates first. Do not and I emphasize, do not rely on a Samaritan to help you settle your debts if you have. What is important is to alter your lifestyle to address spending and debt problems.<br /><br />So, why do you invest? It aids in your savings for the future. Be it investing or saving, be sure to create inaccessibility for this account so that the money will be gone or untouchable for a certain number of years and thus you will not spend the money put aside for saving or investing. It is very important to find an alternative way to pay for urgent debts that might come along instead of using the money saved up. Remember, first pay yourself regularly and then pay your bills. Money saved religiously will only be for the goals that he or she sets, like retirement for instance. It is best to save on a regular basis because as you save more money, the more you'll find that you are not missing out on anything. Thus, the more you are closer to your saving or investing target.<br /><br />Whatever the circumstances, if you have set a goal, work towards it. We just will adapt to the new environment that we have created for ourselves. None of us would like to be living from paycheck to paycheck every month or worse, to have only one thousand dollars or less in our bank account when we reach fifty-five or sixty years of age.<br /><br />I must stress again the importance of preparations and knowledge before investing.
