Difficult or Easy To Get Money In Forex?

In the various forums we often see the titles in the thread that began with, "the easy way ...."," 100-150 pips a day with .....". "Get the daily input ....." and so on. So as if forex trading will be easy for them so that there is also a robot that makes the trading movement can beat the price that is difficult to predict. There are no useless in providing a request for payment. Well, the last of this interesting, if trading robot that can sell their produce hundreds of pips in a month why would they still selling in the forums ya? Hmmm ... Big Question. That should not happen they had a forum entry or make a beautiful website as its occupation for the money he spends.

Just imagine, if it's their system you can restore the capital only 100% during the month, in 2 years they can rival the wealth of the world traders classmates Soros. I do not believe let's countdown
Month 1: $ 100
Month 2: $ 200
Month 3: $ 400
Month 4: $ 800
Month 5: $ 1600
Month 6: $ 3200
Month 7: $ 6400
Month 8: $ 128,000
Month 9: $ 256,000
Month 10: $ 512,000
Month 11: $ 1,024,000
Month 12: $ 2,048,000
Month 13: $ if I continue up to 24 months to a calculator I can not afford to accommodate the numbers shown on the screen.

If the robot system or they can be like that, why they are still busy to go to the forum and make a website ?????????

So this is actually trading forex is easy or difficult? If so why in many out there who can promise to return capital to you in 1 month even have a 3-day (a fortune that may be quite difficult to re-delivery). The fact is they are often loss as we need them so that injection of funds for real money in their forex.

Is that what they are. Hmmm, I am including one to give input, hehehehe. Many reasons can be you as they need recognition, or they just find a system both for itself and profit that day so that happiness saking trading system directly proclaim that finding. So that the victim, of course, the newbie.

That they should be able to feel each month from forex provide bait and teach them how to fish certainly can not promise success, and so forth. All need the process, its success does not mean someone can be successful people. Cases such as this example, there can provide an indie that could accurately predict 90% but not followed by indie is how to manage the margin with the newbie. Of course, the newbie who will be interested to try with a margin more than 10% even 80% of the initial capital for the indie. When exposed to loss, lost all the capital he once in a while they can profit the previous 1-2 weeks, so to start again from the start they need more, so capital can sway.

So what I answered that the master is here, so easy to do forex or forex so hard to do this.

How do I easily answered: Forex is difficult when we want the results of a large forex and can make himself suddenly rich in the long period of 2 years. But Forex become easy and fun when we do not expect a large profit, and how we try to be so in the forex without having to think how I should profit per day ????.

Indicators Volume and Open Interest

Volume and open interest is the second indicator such as 2 of the currency pair. Maybe some of you have been through a lot of the second indicator. If we see this second indicator can reflect the market position that we are facing.

Generally, the futures trader prefer this concept in terms of its position.

Volume reflects the size of the trading ativitas or lot number of the switch hands between the markets. The more the market that perform the activity the greater the number of the lot akan diperjual sale. On the other hand that we need to see is a market trend. The greater the volume of a trend in the usually trend will continue. As an example of the current market trends tend to go down, if this is supported by a number of the larger volume, it is not closed will likely trend continues. However, if a trend is not supported by volume, in this case the volume is not closed down the possibility of a trend akan akan expired or face stagnation.
Open Interest represents the number of positions open. What is the open position, open position is a position that we have not been completed in a trade, eg the time you open a position you do not get close in this case is a sell position. What is open interest that affect this market? This reflects the nature of the market, as an illustration of the greater market held positions that are open to buy the larger trend increases. So vice versa. So if trends are rising, we can approximate the trader holds a position that opens the big buy.

Generally, the perpetrators of these two indicators the market is at the same reflection in the market. Generally, if the market trend is supported by the volume and open interest will be the big trend continues. However, if there are discrepancies between the volume and open interest eg large volume and open interest so small trend will enter the correction or change the period to enter the trend.


Therefore the discussion about the second indicator. Generally, this indicator is often used in the position. Because the two indicators have your trading in every platform.

1. Create a plan and description of trading with both. Criteria, when you need to know:

This is related to how long you bertrading in a month, how the level of resilience against the risk of your account loss, when the pull of the funds, when the increase of funds, and allocation of income to savings, investment and consumption.



2. Make a trend your crony (Trend FOLLOWER). Never against the market trend (although not including the mandatory rules). If prices are rising, you can install Buy position and vice versa when prices are down then you can install Sell position. Most people often take on the (counter trend) and often wrong - even though there is also often true:).

3. Hold with both capital & carefully you. Do not leave your investment to $ 0.0. If this is the loss, try pertahankan 10 - 50% of your capital, so that in time will want to add funds or injeck, Rupiah Dollar is paid or not too large. Imagine if you have to add funds for the large loss due to Forex trading you.

If in two or three times already trading spend 20 - 40% of the capital due to loss, stop a moment. Hold yourself to a new position. Do not follow up to "avenge" or "want to back the capital." Try tenangkan mind and your head. Arrange your trading system back in the Demo Account. Sisihkan within 3 days - 1 week to try trading system in the Demo Account.

If you have steady, please go back to Real Account.

4. Knowing when the time dispose of "toxic". Term toxicity is Buy or Sell a position that has been opened that has been floating (float position / not closed) or negative position minus the rather large. Say if Buy GBP / USD you have -150 points in the period of 2 hours, if still eligible kept. Or if the position of AUD / USD is minus -100 within 20 minutes, if still disayang-pity?!

Ah, the price is later return. Well, if no price back and forth, we become "poisoned" their own, both mind and body. We can hurt physically if not yet reflect the position of the closed reach 200 points for example. Just remember, find the money now rather difficult period yah. I have no productive time in 2 - 3 hours, I have to be amputated / Cut Loss. Cut, remove the already tumefy & not productive. Moreover, that would make the position of stay, more than one day with the hope that more profit and also get a premium interest rate, legal obligation to install Stop Loss. Our suggestions, if you want to be tomorrow, attach Stop Loss 200 points from the position you open. Use trailing only facilities provided by the Stop if the trading platform.

Stop Loss Plan your early as possible. These days, the price movement for the Euro & Pound reaches 200 - 400 points per day. Determine the ideal Capital Start & Stop Loss you with situations like that.

5. Do not be emotional. If the target is to reach a daily or monthly, right out of the market. Do not be greedy.

6. Be smart & informed. Not intend to support one of the private TV, but be a smart trader. Here is a smart base and why should I have to Buy Sell.

9. Do not trade too much or excessive. In one day, you are a scalper for 10 times the maximum position. For your Daytrader good position and a maximum of 2 Trader swing away. Remember, the condition of fundamental & technical analysis of Forex that often change from time to time.

You Beginners Forex Trading?

1. The best advice on how to learn to trade profitably is to learn from experts with proven track records. Many learning styles are available to beginners at all levels: books, CDs, online courses, group seminars, even one-on-one mentors who will come right your home for a few days. We outline our Forex-Trader picks in Learning Forex Trading. Learning to trade from experts is worth every penny and has saved us untold thousands in mistakes. We would not recommend starting forex trading without any training. It is not hard to learn, nor difficult to trade successfully, but you must first provide yourself with a basic functioning knowledge of 'the game you're in'.

2. While you are learning you will need charting software to practice reading the Market. Charting is an indispensable tool that shows you in real-time data what the market is doing moment by moment and also what the market has done in the past. As you learn to analyze these charts you can determine what trades to enter and exit, where to set your stop losses, limits etc. There are several good charting software services that you can subscribe to online monthly. See our Forex-Trader tested Charting Software picks in Tools of The Trade.

3. Then, to perform your actual trades online you need a real-time 'trading platform' to execute your 'buys' and 'sells' directly in the Foreign Currency Market. You obtain a trading platform from a Forex Clearinghouse that is connected real-time to the interbank market. There are many good Clearinghouses (also confusingly called Brokerage Firms, Market Makers, etc.) that provide you with the trading platform to trade the funds in the account you have opened with them. Before you begin trading your 'real' money, while you are learning, you will practice on your own 'demo account' with play-money in it, which will be provided to you by the clearinghouse you plan to trade through. The contractual relationship you enter into with your Clearinghouse is a very important one because the Clearinghouse you choose determines many trading features and financial advantages to you both as a trader and as an investor. Forex-Trader tested Clearinghouses are reviewed in Tools of The Trade.

We have outlined a Getting Started path with uncomplicated steps. This is the path that we would take if we were beginning trading over again today with 'what we know now'. The products and services we mention in these steps are all ones that we have personally used for some time with consistent success. As always you are free to forge your own path, and if you do, happy hiking. There is a mountain of products and services try out, and if you find ones you like better we would love to compare notes with you.

Explain More About Charting Services

To trade successfully you also must have good charting software and instantaneous data feeds critical to helping you analysis and interpret the movement of currencies moment to moment so you know when/why to buy or sell -- this you subscribe to monthly. You can get a 2 week or more demo to familiarize yourself with one that has the features you like. The costs also vary, and some companies require a year commitment. There are some free charting services offered through the clearinghouses, but they tend to lack the tools to be truly useful. There are also some costly proprietary Specialty Software charting 'hybrids' which are market forecasters tools that look more like video games than charts.

Explain More About How Clearinghouses Work

A good clearinghouse (i.e.. your computer access/link to the live Forex Exchange Market) is the partner with which you trade the money you have deposited with them in your trading account. After trying and demo-ing many we have found a small handful that are truly excellent for the beginner (and continue to be excellent as you grow) -- meaning user friendly, legally accountable to regulatory bodies, and offering fair costs (spreads) for their services/trading software platforms. There still are many worrisome ones practicing in this closing era of unregulated forex trading (new Commodities laws are imminent).

The topic of matching the right clearinghouse for your needs is discussed more in Tools of the Trade, because it depends on a number of factors -- how much you can open an account with, how much the clearinghouse profit spread, what your liquidity needs are, your minimum/maximum stop loss and margin requirements, even where you live and how much time you have to give to trading in a 24 hr. day.

How Much Does it Cost to Begin to Trade?
Learning to trade will entail the cost of books and whatever training method you choose. It will also include a reliable computer with a minimum 128 Mb of memory to run the charting software and trading platform. Ongoing 'costs of operation' include the monthly costs of high-speed internet, charting software, the email forecasting subscriptions -- plan on spending $150./mo. up for ongoing costs.

What about Pooled Clearinghouse Accounts to Trade with More Leverage?

We strongly do not recommend pooled accounts in any circumstance. Perhaps you are considering self-trading a pooled- together family account because it would give you a perceived advantage of more leveraged funds to trade (50:1 up to 100:1 leverage) -- any risks of loss represent a potential risk to family relationships, and for this reason alone we do not recommend aggregating with family or friends.

However much worse are the too-numerous negative experiences of people allowing their investment funds to leave their control to become part of a 'managed' pooled account. Not only is it a very risky investment idea, it is illegal for anyone to 'pool' accounts without compliance with SEC (a USA Securities Exchange Commission) or international equivalent license. Never relinquish direct control over your money/trading account to anyone (i.e.. the ability to make withdrawals, deposits etc. directly by your own authority into your own account).

A good fund manager, if you do choose to go the (legitimate) Managed Account route rather than the Self-Trader route, will make certain you have your own 'segregated account' in your own name in a bank or brokerage firm. These individual segregated accounts can still be traded together as though they were in a single account by a designated trader as long as the clearing house uses a trading platform that allows it. You, as the investor/account holder, have direct access online to your account activity at all times, and direct control over your own account in your own name (just like a bank account). The importance of this, for the safety of your funds, cannot be over emphasized.

Questions From Our Email Inbox

Thank you for inviting people to learn from your experience. I found that to be very generous. I was hoping you may be able to shed little light on just how to go about finding the right currency pairs to buy.

This is where charting software will make it self-evident for you to know what pairs are 'trending'. Technical analysis using charting software: Elliott Wave, Retracements, Fibonacci patterns, short term trending, etc. Good charting software is invaluable! Look at it as one of your 'costs of doing business'.

I have just begun learning how the FOREX works. There are so few opportunities for the lower economic class to achieve financial independence.

It took us a full year to learn to trade forex to achieve consistent profits, but well worth the time and effort. Forex trading can be the great leveler of the self-investor playing field. I and we believe that with dedication to sound, risk-management trading methods you can succeed.

I'm trying to build a financial base, but I just can't find a door in. Is it possible for me to participate directly in the FOREX with smaller amounts - like $1000?

Beginning with $1K. is more of a challenge and more of a risk (but not impossible). $1K represents 1 lot in Forex Trading, and that is the minimum (leveraged) trade that can be made. Perhaps that $1K would be better spent on trading education?

I have participated in Forex 'Games' and other types of online investments that claim to be investing in Foreign Currency (among other things), with returns of 50% a month and more. I actually did get paid. Opinions please?

We strongly urge you to resist any further temptation to send your money away to an investment-type pool (by this we mean do not send your money away to be under someone else's control and in someone else's account). It is unjustified risk, there are much better ways to begin to experience profits from forex trading. Many such online investments have totally disappeared into the Internet ethers from which they came. Typically these investments give no contact information, claiming to be 'offshore', 'for privacy reasons'. They last a few months, their bulletin boards or email newsletters extoll their climbing numbers of 'members' and pay-outs, then without warning their site goes off-line forever. And you never knew who they were that disappeared with your trust and your money or e-gold.

How do you forecast which currency is next in line to increase?

It is not so much that you want to know when any one currency is going up. You can make profits whether a currency is going up (buy), or down (sell). All Currencies are continually rising and falling relative to other currencies, and forex trading is in fact trading one currency relative to another. Good trading opportunities are always present when you know how to recognize them. Technical analysis using charting software, market sentiment, experience will show you which currencies to pair to trade. Forex Trading is a skill of identifying (and acting on) the probabilities.

How do you choose when to rollover or close positions?

Technical analysis using charting software that (when you learn how to identify what you are seeing) depicts resistance levels (how high it will likely rise to) or support levels (how low it will likely stop dropping at). This is helpful for determining whether to rollover the trade for a bigger forecasted profit the next day. However, a rollover does have additional clearinghouse fees attached. Quick in-and-out trades are closed intentionally with the goal of a smaller profit gain (such as a 4 pip profit).

For example, Beginners, who are learning to read their charts, can do very well closing positions at whatever point they have gained +4 pips profit. This represents a $40. profit (in this example we are trading 1 lot Euro/USD, so 1 pip equals $10.). A $40./4 pip gain is a relatively small move on the chart and may not seem impressive until you consider that If you do this successfully 4 times a day you have made $160. profit. With 4 such daily trades in a four day trading week you will have made $640. (consider also that this is even without the magic of compounding). We leave the monthly and yearly calculations to you.

What indicators do you utilize?
We have tried everything we could ever get our hands on. Over time we have selected the ones that are most consistent and well suited to our trading style. See our review of different indicator tools in Tools of the Trade. You will develop your own trading style (best times of day, favorite currency pairs, best instinctual moving-average chart pattern etc.). But experience with basic technical analysis using charting software is always the starting point. Then you add forex forecasting email subscriptions, Allan Greenspan's body language (no kidding) etc.

Are there any real time & reliable direct (commission free) market maker entry sites online?

Yes. It is not necessary to pay a clearinghouse (also known as a market maker, or forex brokerage house) an additional 'commission' for self-trading using their platform/services. They are usually compensated in the 'spread' between the buy price and sell price.

A Word of Experience:
FXCM Charting software is free with a demo or live account, although useful it is not as complete as professional charting software.

Forex Trade Drawbacks of Forex Trader

Why is it that very few traders succeed in the Forex trading environment while the grand majority of traders fail to achieve success? Although there is no hard answer to this question, there are a few things that will put you one step ahead and will definitely put the odds in your favor.

The main purpose of this article is to guide you through some important aspects of Forex trading. But in a different way, instead of telling you what to do or the best way to do it, it will tell you what to avoid. Sometimes it is better to identify the main drawbacks on a discipline and then isolate them so we have the best results at a certain level of development.

The search for the Holy Grail

Many traders spend years and years trying to find the Holy Grail of trading. That magic indicator or set of indicators, only known by a few traders, that will make them rich in a short period of time.
Fact: Well, there is no magic indicator, nor a set of indicators that will make anyone rich in a short period of time. The main reason of this is because market changes, every single moment is unique. Every Forex trading system will fail from time to time. Our work here is to find a Forex trading system that fits our personality as traders, otherwise the trader will find it hard to follow it.

Looking for Easy Money

Unfortunately most traders are attracted to the Forex market for this reason. Mainly because of the publicity showing or rather trying to show how easy is to trade and make money in the Forex market.
Fact: Yes, it is very easy to trade, anyone can do it. It is as hard as one click. But the second part of it isn't that easy. Making money or achieving consistent profitable results is hard. It requires lots of education, patience, discipline, commitment, and this list could go to infinite. In a few words, it is possible to have consistent profitable results, but definitely it is not easy.

Looking for Excitement

Some other traders are attracted to the Forex market or any other financial market because they think it is exciting to be a trader.
Fact: Yes, it is very exciting to trade the Forex market. But if this is the main reason you are still trading the Forex market, sooner or later you will discover the most expensive adventure you have ever known. Do some thinking on it.

Not Using Money Management.

Most traders forget about this important aspect of trading. They think they shouldn't be using money management until they achieve consistent profitable results. They totally forget about the risk side of trading.
Fact: Money management allows your profits to increase geometrically, but also limits your risk on every single trade. Money management tells you how much to risk on each trade. Using money management is a must if you want to achieve your trading goals. By using money management you make sure you are going to be able to trade tomorrow, the next week, month and the following years.

Not Being Psychology Tuned

This is one of the most underestimated subjects when it comes to trading. One of the main principles of financial markets is that the price of each instrument is based on the perception of each individual participant "the crowd." In other words the price of each instrument is determined by the fear, greed, ego and hope of all traders.
Fact: Being aware of all psychological issues that affect the decisions made by traders will definitely put the odds in your favor.

Lack of Education

Education is the base of knowledge on every discipline. As lawyers and doctors require several years of college until they get their degree, Forex traders also require long years of study. It is better to have someone experienced to guide you through your trading, since some information could take you in the wrong path.
Fact: The market teaches us invaluable lessons on every single trade made. The process of education for a Forex trader could take for ever. That's right, we never stop learning. We should be humble about the markets and our knowledge; otherwise the market will prove us wrong.

These are some of the most important barriers every trader faces when trying to trade successfully.

Trading successfully the Forex markets is no easy task, it requires a lot of hard work to do it right, but with the right education, you will put yourself closer to your trading goals.

About Presence Online Forex Trading

The most traded are United States Dollar, Japanese Yen, Euro, Canadian Dollar, British Pound Sterling, Australian Dollar and Swiss Franc.

Many brokers will let you open an account with a starting balance of just $250. Though that may seem small, remember you will be trading on margin. Your $250 investment may let you control $25,000. As with all investments there are risks so make sure you take the time to study the markets and your exposure before making your first trades. I highly recommend that you do some paper trades first to make sure you have understood how the markets work.
