How to Begin With Forex



The Forex market offers many advantages to investors, but knowing how to begin is more than half the battle. This guide will give a rundown of the steps it takes to get started.

Forex is not easy! You MUST have your knowledge or the knowledge of experts to make money on your investments! It is easy to get started trading, but knowing the trades to take--that is the difficult part!

Step 1: LEARN! Learn as much as you can about Forex. Read Forums, blogs, guides, books...anything you can get your hands on! The more you know, the more knowledge you will have when it comes time to make decisions about a trade or a trading service!

Step 2: A broker is required to handle your trades. Do a LOT of research! Find a broker with NO DEALING DESK, as these broker have a human watching the trades that come in an out of the brokerage...often trading against you in order to make money on your trades (in which case you lose!) Once you have done your research and chosen a broker, open a demo account. This will allow you to learn how to place a trade, look at charts, watch the speed of the market, and test out a strategy. Once you have had a demo account and feel comfortable with Forex, you can fund a live account with the broker and begin trading for money.

A mini account is an option for those with less than $5,000. This allows you to trade with very small lots and manage the amount of money you are risking.

An honest broker makes its money on the spread: this is the difference between the price you pay for the currency and the actual price. On most major currencies, this runs between 2 -5 pips. Few brokers charge commission, which means that you can make small trades without the worry that profits will get eaten up by commissions and fees.

Step 3: Strategy. You MUST have a strategy of some kind before you begin trading! Whether this is your own strategy or one you pay a monthly subscription fee for, FOLLOW IT! The biggest mistake traders make is discontinuing a strategy because of a bad day, week, or month.

Step 4: Repeat, repeat, repeat. KEEP LEARNING! The more you know, the better! Continue your strategy! Join blogs and forums to discuss the market with other traders. Be consistent, and you will make money in the Forex market!

Successful Forex Trading - How to Generate 10 Pips a Day

Gambar
A common approach to forex trading is to play with small stakes and target large price moves in the region of 50-200 pips. Indeed I trade this way myself using my main 4 hour trading system. However an alternative approach is to increase your stakes and look for much smaller price moves. That way you only need to find one decent trade per day if it generates around 10 pips, for instance. It's not that easy to do, but you can achieve this target if you employ a sound trading strategy. The best approach is to concentrate only on the major currency pairs (such as the GBP/USD, EUR/USD, USD/JPY, EUR/GBP and GBP/JPY, etc) and look for pairs that are trending strongly upwards or downwards during a given trading session. You simply look at say the 1 hour chart of all of the major pairs and see which ones are moving strongly upwards or downwards. Then once you've done that you can use the shorter time frames to get a good entry point. The best strategy is to find out which currency p...

Combining Technical and Fundamental Trading Methods For Success

So far, in the previous two articles, we looked at each of the two systems used to analyze currency value in forex currency pairs when traders are assessing trade positions. Most traders see themselves as one type of trader or the other, but successful traders use both methods to varying degree with a bias towards their favorite. Both of these approaches to market forecasting attempt to solve the same problem; to determine the direction prices are likely to move. They just approach the problem from different directions - the technical trading method focuses more on the value history and uses the current value of a currency in a pair referenced again historical trading ranges and value to give an indication of the likely change and new value that a currency will have in the near future. Currency charting in graphical format is the primary tool. Fundamental trading looks primarily at the primary real market conditions that should determine a currency value now and overlays that assess...
