What Forex Dealers Do
Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008What Forex Dealers Do
Chosing a Forex Dealer is a very important decision. A forex dealer should be the one who executes all the orders on your behalf.
This is very important because the wrong move could mean a loss of a lot of money. When chosing a forex dealer, make sure they have exactly what you are looking for. If you are a first time trader, technical support is a must, either via phone, email, or chat, and also a demo account. Can you practice before you invest? Another good thing to look for in a forex dealer is their financial status. You want to be sure they are financially stable, otherwise this could just mean trouble. Review the contract and make sure there are no hidden fees that you could get popped with, and make sure they are recognized by a regulatory body, such as the National Futures Association (NFA).
How much do forex traders make? If you are looking to get into the world of forex trading, you should be wondering this. Before investing money into any making money system, you should understand if the system you are about to get involved in will even be lucrative for you. The answer to this question is not going to be straight forward, but hopefully you’ll have a better understanding at the amount of money forex traders can expect to make.
There is $1-2 trillion dollars a DAY traded on the forex. What this means is there is money to be made. Every forex trader has their ups and downs, but if there is that much money being traded, it should give you an idea if the industry is a good one to invest in.
I can tell you for certain that the forex is a good place to invest and you can usually expect a return. ONLY if you know what you are doing, or at least know the basics. You can lose a lot of money if you go into it blindly.
The amount of money you make largely depends on the amount of money you have to invest. The larger the investment, the larger your profit. There are many forex traders who make thousands of dollars a day, and then there are some who make just a few hundred a day.
It is highly recommended if you are going to invest in the forex you invest in a forex trading robot. This will essentially automate your trading, and greatly reduce the amount of work you must personally do, plus it takes the guessing out of the business.

Scalping Forex Pips or Not?
Sunday, December 14th, 2008Forex Scalping – How To Limit Risk And Make Huge Profits
Forex scalpers aim to make small regular profits and in time build this up to a large income. forex scalping is very popular and here we are going to look at how not to lose your money at it.
The best way not to lose money is not to even try it – it doesn’t work, before we explain why you may wonder why you see so many courses and people claiming big gains so here is the answer – the gains are paper gains and not real money. Read the disclaimer below which you will always see or a similar one with any forex scalping system:
"CFTC RULE 4.41 – Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not been executed, the results may have under-or-over compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profit or losses similar to those shown".
As you can see if a trading system carries the above it’s of no real use in terms of indicating profitability. We can all make money knowing closing prices and past data – it’s easy. In the real hard world of forex trading, you don’t have this luxury.
So why is forex scalping doomed to failure? The answer lies in the data is not reliable and you cannot (no matter how clever your trading system is) get the odds on your side.
In currencies prices in a few hours can and do go any where volatility is random and support and resistance levels within a day simply cannot be used to get the odds on your side.
As all volatility is random you are destined to lose long term. If you think about this it’s obvious:
Huge numbers of traders make the final price and they all have different motivations, skills and levels of emotion that input into their trading and to say this huge mass can be predicted in short time frames is ridiculous.
Not only do you have the above to contend with but forex scalping breaks a fundamental rule of trading:
Run your profits to cover your inevitable losses.
All trading systems have losses and drawdown periods and you need to run your profits to cover them. Now scalpers do get profits (everyone is lucky some time) but what do they do – Do they run it? Not a chance they bank it!
Of course luck doesn’t last for ever and if you are trading with the odds against you your on borrowed time and will lose eventually it’s just a question of when.
So if you want to keep your equity intact don’t forex scalp – trade longer term and get the odds on your side. Sure, short term trading sounds great but the odds don’t stack up it’s a wonder that sane intelligent people in other walks of life think they can win with a made up track record and a system costing a few hundred bucks.
You can make a lot of money trading but forex scalping is doomed to failure – trade longer term, get the odds on your side and win.

Scalping Forex Pips Reviewed
Sunday, December 14th, 2008Your Roadmap To Scalp Trading
If anyone needs a plan for trading, scalp traders are at the top of the list. Scalping requires a great deal of nerves and a temper for losses. On the other side of the coin, scalp trading does offer the ability to churn huge percentage profits on a large or small account balance.
Scalp trading is similar to day trading, but works on smaller price movements and shorter periods of time. While day traders hold positions intraday, scalping requires buying and selling by the minute.
The time differential
Scalping the markets means that you must have access to the markets all the time. When scalping, rarely would it be wise to leave your trading desk without closing orders. Though scalping works on small price movements, high leveraged accounts are often used up to 400:1 on Forex accounts to generate profits that are unheard of anywhere else. The key to consistent profits in scalping is a solid trading plan and money management.
Risk and money management tips
If you use a highly leveraged account, it is critical that you pay deep attention to risk and money management. Though a 1% movement in price hardly affects a long term investing account, in the game of scalping, that same 1% movement could mean a gain of 400% on your stake, or a loss four times greater than your stake. There is much to lose when scalping the markets, but just as much to profit.
Scalp traders have one large disadvantage
The biggest disadvantage to scalping is the high commissions and spreads that traders rack up when making numerous trades per day and sometimes tens of trades per hour. In the stock market and in the Forex markets, the amount of money that is taken out of a trading account by the spread and fees is often enough to turn a profitable trader to a big time loss. Considering that the purchase of 10 lots of a currency pair often costs as much as $400 with a four pip spread, scalping requires much of the profits to go only to trading fees. Investing rarely creates the same kind of expenses, nor any method that requires buying and selling infrequently.
Who scalps?
There are many traders that scalp, and these professional traders have a knack for scalping the markets and generating huge results. But it doesn’t require a professional to do well with scalping; many small investors are finding it as an extremely lucrative way to make large amounts of money with small amounts of capital and trade from the comfort of their own home. Scalping is a great method for anyone, that is, if your nerves can handle it.
