Can Money Be Made Online With Trading?

By Shaun Swilling

There are countless 'get rich quick' websites online promising you a million dollars a year by pushing a button. With all the sophisticated variations that the experts use to predict the direction of the market, they still do not get more than 60% on trades in the money.

The automatic trading software that we get offered for free is a scam and you will lose money. You will get a great sales video telling you that the guy who invented the software wants to pay it back, so he is now giving it away for free. He does not tell you that the $250 you need to deposit in order to activate the software puts commission into his pocket.

Set in a multi-million dollar mansion he will even introduce his wife and his family and tell you an impossible story how he stumbled on this magic software. This sales video will be accompanied with a wide range of accounts with a million dollars or more shown in his name.

Some of these sales video even go into detail about how the algorithm that the software is based on was discovered. All very far-fetched and unlikely when one considers the unpredictable changes in fundamentals affecting the market that happen every day.

With over 150 000 new people coming online for the first time every day the potential for these unscrupulous websites to continue making a profit gets stronger. When something looks like it is too good to be true, it usually is and those precious listings of subscribers that are owned by any respected 'guru' have produced loyal subscribers who get sent links that are tried and tested.

Unfortunately most people online who send you a link that they want you to sign up with and lose money have not been tested. They swop advertising with each other and this is all done automatically so most of the links that are sent to your email address by these gurus have not been tested, some have never been seen.

With the continued growth in social media, honesty and integrity now have a financial value when these lists of subscribers are treated correctly. When the links and advice sent to these subscribers are anything just thrown together specifically to make money they will fail in the long term.

With 95% of all binary option traders still losing money the few people who do make money on a daily basis are able to do this for two reasons. The first reason is because they have the experience and the education on how to create a profitable strategy.

The second and probably the most important reason is that they do not just start off with $200 but invest at least $1,000 to start trading. Just like anywhere else in the world you need money to make money. The more you invest, the better chances of success, depending on your trading strategy.

The news you see on your TV screen are called fundamentals in the trading world and these fundamentals, like a bomb in London or the Russian sanctions will have a direct effect on the stock price. These completely unpredictable events that happen every day cannot be put into some magic software that will be able to predict these events.

A trader that makes money month after month and year after year is a trader who uses a combination of both technical analysis and fundamental analysis. Creative software can only take advantage of technical analysis and this needs to be taken into consideration when planning a trade.

I will write a well researched Copyscape passed 500 word article on ANY subject for only $5.

Understanding Investment Terminology

By Steve Ong

Investment is the use of money to earn income or profit. This term also refers to the expenditure of funds for capital goods such as livestock, machinery, agricultural equipment and this according to Alan Gart's book which is titled "The Insider's Guide to the Financial Services Revolution".

It promotes economic growth and contributes to a nation's wealth. When people deposit money in a savings account in a bank, take for an example, the bank may invest by loaning the funds to various business companies or to the borrower.

This experience is in line with the often observed diversity of expert opinion and has led the author of this article to discount much of the so called research that investment experts boasts about.

It is much of the statistical and field research that there are times that they will convinced clients very hard to deal in which, it does not lead to good results and it is very clear that thinking in essentials and broad mindedness appear to be more practical investment tools.

They must expect the companies in which they have invested the money to stay in business; enjoy a trend of profits at least a bit better than average; employ any additional capital with adequate profit; they must continue in order to attract favorable investment attention, to which should be added, they must pay more than a fair price for the stock.

It is possible for the earnings per share of common stock even to grow and it also hides an underlying unfavorable trend. There are several things that could happen when it talks about investment.

Any earnings, no matter how small, that arise from the investment of retained funds will be added to the earnings on the prior capital, and thus a rise in earnings will be reported.

Investors are likely to look with a jaundiced eye at ventures which must retain a large part of their earnings not to expand the business although merely to stay in business or to maintain competitive ability.

In this connection, the leverage factor which is the quality of earnings is also involved.

It will cause anxiety instead of allaying it. They will look upon the determination of the productivity of additional capital for the investors, as the owner, as a way of unpleasant surprises and an assurance that they are aware of the basic facts of life of their respective companies.

This is their nature that they should satisfy the facts and figures that will urge them to invest. For most investors, however the types of statistical data outlined in this part of article will be sufficient. At least they exemplify the fundamental statistical concepts which are required for choosing individual issues whether they are alone in decision-making or a participant.

Forex Fundamentals Made Easy

By Greg Bukkosi

We established that in every trading plan the fundamentals of currencies should take the primary seat and we use technicals as a co-driver to boost our probability model. In the following article we are going to show a way to keep on top of the Fundamental analysis and use it in your trading in essence we are going to show you fundamentals made easy.

Fundamentals are easy to keep up with, once we have caught up which what the major global economies, their actions and intentions are we simply follow their outlook from then on. As they change their view on policy for the currencies we simply note that the sentiment of that currency has either changed or remained the same. We pay attention to their statements and watch the economic data that they point to as leading data for their decisions.

     Read also : Market Timing, Risk and Profits

Fundamentals are primary because we would not want to buy a currency that has a monetary policy which indicates weakness. If we do that we simply trade against the professional traders, the largest banks and hedge funds around the world which will surely result in losses. If we take into consideration the fundamental view of the hedge fund managers and large banks then we can trade with confidence that the currency will head in the desired direction overall.

We can keep up with fundamental news and economic data releases when we access central banks' websites and we read their official published statements, then we can head to an economic calendar which are provided through reputable forums and see the economic data releases for each currency in real time. We can always see the previous figures, the forecasted ones and at the given time the actual data that is being released. Bear in mind that just because a data comes out better it doesn't automatically mean that the given currency strengthens. It is important to analyze the whole economy of a country and not solely rely on one data release, because every economic data is linked to another which influences the big picture that is playing out.

Unfortunately it is fact that 95% of retail traders fail to turn a profit month on month in trading; one of the reasons for this comes down to the lack of understanding of the fundamentals of the market. All the brokers will offer free training on the subject of spread betting, however you will find this is technically based. The reason for this is simple; they don't want you to follow the fundamentals and be successful.

Market Timing, Risk and Profits

By Rick Ratchford

There is a correlation between market timing, risk and profits.

The better you are at timing your trades, the lower your risk exposure and the higher your profit potential.

For example, suppose that the market (pick any) has made a bottom at 100 and eventually tops out at 300.

And suppose that you use a protective stop-loss (recommended) every time you enter a trade.

When buying into a market, you normally place your initial stop-loss just below the low of the day you enter long.

So which would provide you with less risk exposure?

A. Buying at 145 with a stop-loss at 99, or...

B. Buying at 115 with a stop-loss at 99.

The correct answer of course would be 'B', as this would give you an initial risk exposure of 16 points as opposed to 46 points.

What is the difference between the two entries?

The difference is that with better market timing the trader is able to enter closer to the bottom with option 'B' and therefore has less risk exposure to deal with.

In addition, because of getting in closer to the bottom of the market, this allows for more upside (profit) potential as well.

        Read also : 3 Tips Every Beginner Needs To Know When Trading Binary Options

By entering at 115 rather than 145, there is an additional 30 points available for the trade.

Naturally this example is extremely simplified, and this article is not about buying the very bottom or selling the very top of any given trend.

The example is only to illustrate that the better your market timing happens to be, the less risk exposure you will have and the higher potential for profit.

Understanding this should prompt the trader to devote a good amount of time and energy towards enhancing his or her market timing skills and resources.

Traders need to be good at timing to go along with other important facets of successful trading, such as good money-management, good risk-management, overcoming fear and greed, trading with the momentum and trend, etc.

There are many available tools and resources to help traders become better market timers. The key is to test and determine which is better for you and your goals.

As a trader of 30 years now, I have spent three decades honing my timing skills. Spotting when the market is most likely going to make bottom or top is much easier today than it was years ago due to accumulated knowledge and practice. When I talk about market timing, I am talking from a wealth of personal experience.

Anyone can improve their market timing skills without having to invest a great amount of money, but some time is required. The more time invested the better you will get.

So allow me to point you in the right direction.

Avoid the fundamentals as your main resource for market timing. News and rumors have little value if any.

As for Government reports, they have value as to 'when' they are released more than what they contain.

The reason for this is that, depending on the level of importance certain reports have on certain markets, the markets often will react to their release.

However, the direction a market moves based on what a report says can often be contrary to how it acted to a similar report previously.

Technical Analysis is the best approach to market timing. This is not limited to technical indicators.

Other valuable technical approaches fall under esoteric areas of analysis, such as seasonals, Gann analysis, Cycle Analysis, market geometry, etc.

Be open minded as you embark on learning ways to time the markets better. Do not dismiss something just because it is not commonly used by the majority.

Keep in mind that the majority are on the losing side and you will understand my recommendation to be open.

3 Tips Every Beginner Needs To Know When Trading Binary Options

By Duncan Lancer

Binary is a good trade where you can make a lot of money if you do it right. At the same time the trade is very risky and you can lose a lot of money if you do it wrongly. To guide you through, here are tips that you should put into consideration when trading:

Understand the Trade and Its Trading Tools

You shouldn't jump into trading just because you heard your friend is making good money in trading options. Before you invest your money you should take your time to understand the market and how it works. The cool thing is that many trading websites have plenty of information that will help you in understanding the market.

To know more about trading it's highly recommended that you first work with a demo account. This is an account that bears all the features of a real account, but makes use of virtual money instead of real money. You should use the account to learn how to trade.

Manage Your Money and Risks

Binary trading is risky and for you to continue trading for a long time you need to manage your risks. One of the ways of managing your risks is setting a limit on your bets. Here you need to put a limit on the amount of money that you are willing to put on a single trade. Many traders have a limit of 10%-15% while the braver ones go with 20%-25%. Since you are a beginner, you should go with a limit of between 5% and 10%.

Another way of managing your risks is avoiding very long-term binary options. The best way of going about it is trading one-hour binary options. The cool thing with trading the short binary options is that you are able to accurately predict the closing asset price from your analysis, news stories, research, and upcoming economic events.

Be Informed

There are very many factors that affect the price of binary options. These factors include news, economic events, politics among many others. To keep up with the recent information and updates you should always read about the latest events. To be on the safe side you should always read the news that are related to the assets that you are trading. This will help you to react appropriately.

Conclusion

These are tips on how to trade binary options. Remember that your success greatly depends on the binary options broker that you choose. Due to this, you should do your research and only work with the best broker in the market.

Banc de Binary is one of the most reputable binary options brokers you can work with.

On Forex Advisors and Safe Forex Trading

By Boris Fesenko

Safe Forex trading is an important part of trading success. Safety can be attained with the help of Forex advisors. These advisors are frequently referred to as "bots," "robots", "experts", etc. Whatever the terminology used, the meaning and purpose are the same: to automate the trading process and, eventually, help the trader get profitable.

A Forex advisor is a software that is developed with a view to automate routine processes. Such software is based on a given algorithm, which can in turn be based on any type of Forex strategy. A Forex advisor can also be based on a trading system.

Forex advisors can be programmed for different trading platforms.

MetaTrader 4

This platform has a standard .mq4 extension and is a software with a source code. Naturally, the average user cannot do much here, but any amateur developer can make some changes. Alternatively, one can use the .ex4 extension, a compiled advisor for the MT4 terminal.

The goals of the advisor are clear. As for the functions, they are similar for all advisors. However, you can neither review the workings of a compiled advisor nor change its code. It is not worth noting that the.ex4 version may appear in a gray color on your terminal, as it makes no difference and has no effect on performance.

MetaTrader 5

This platform uses a standard.mq5 extension for the source code and the.ex5 extension for its compiled files.

JForex

This platform belongs to DukasCopy. The source code file has the.java extension, while the compiled file the .jfx one.

Other platforms.

It is also possible to create a Forex robot that will work in FIX API.

Classifying Forex advisors based on type of work

1. Automated advisors. If you use this Forex advisor, you will have very little to do because the entire process will be fully automated. The software will search by itself for appropriate market conditions to enter the market. It will establish positions and close them too, in part or in full. Such programs are also referred to as "expert advisors". As a rule, they are fully automated and do not require any intervention on your part. The advisor will control the trading process entirely. All you will need to do is to ensure that your MetaTrader 4 is turned on at all times. Obviously, you will have to have continuous, uninterrupted access to the Internet. You will also have to keep an eye on the cash flow. You will have to watch your balance in order for the advisor to have enough money on hand to open new positions with a safe lot. This type of advisor involves minimum participation on your part once you have got your advisor in place. But you do have to be very confident in your choice of software before you leave the screen to have a latte or play with your children.

2. Partially automated advisors. A partially automated advisor plays an auxiliary role. You will have to analyze the market yourself, applying the software when you deem it appropriate. The software, in turn, will carry out its functions based on the algorithm of the software. Once the application meets the requirements of its algorithm, it will automatically turn itself off, and you will need to turn it back on manually for it to work again. Trailing stop expert advisors, trade assistance expert advisors, and news trading expert advisors can all be considered as partially automated advisors. These utilities do not trade on their own, performing instead a number of tasks and carrying out functions based on the predetermined and preset algorithms used in the development of the utilities. Unlike with fully automated advisors, you do not need to overanalyze your advisor to check for possible defects in the way it operates. It is sufficient to control the reasonableness of your trades before they are placed.

3. Trade assistance expert advisors. These advisors have few trading functions to carry out. Mainly, they display information. The Forex advisor Statistics is one such program. The real purpose of trade assistance expert advisors is to collect information and transmit it to your screen.

Classification based on type of strategy

1. Scalping advisors. A scalping advisor opens a position and closes it soon after, seeking to achieve a profit of several points. These strategies come with advantages (e.g. low risk) and disadvantages (sensitivity to the spread and the execution time, as well as to the broker). These strategies can be easily nixed by the broker.

2. Grid advisors. A grid advisor opens additional orders to achieve "averaging", meaning it changes the size of a position in anticipation of a market change. If a grid advisor does not come with any limits that restrict the number of open orders it can place, you are at high risk of losing your entire deposit.

3. Trend-following advisors. These advisors detect the start of a trend and open positions based on the direction of that trend.

4. Swing advisors. Swing advisors are used to profit from market fluctuations.

I have listed only a few advisors here. In reality, there are far more of them. A Forex advisor can also be based on a combination of several strategies.

Now we can discuss the selection of a Forex advisor, bearing in mind that it is possible that you might need more than one advisor.

1. First and foremost, it is necessary to understand that not every Forex expert will trade based on an open algorithm, which is why you should always exercise care in choosing your Forex advisor. Try to find as much information about a Forex advisor as you can before you arrive at a conclusion and settle on your choice. Forex advisor developers often pursue only one goal: to make money off the sale of their products. Products created with nothing but their successful sale in mind should be distinguished from normal products. For example, there are Forex advisors that come with so-called Martingale methods. Sellers do not close disclose that information, so when you buy such a Forex advisor, you will be surprised by the discrepancy between the perfect graphs that you saw at the time of your purchase and what you see now that you have bought the advisor. You will find yourself in a situation where you are trying to make less than a hundred dollars in profits while risking hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars. For that reason I have always been against the use of such strategies. Not that the use of these strategies rules out successful trading. But it seems to me that this would entail the successful application of capital management rules more than anything else.

Unfortunately, it isn't often that you are able to see a Forex advisor with an algorithm open for your review. But should the opportunity present itself, you will be well advised to try it in real life and see if the strategy is workable, and whether your understanding of it is complete. You should also assess the degree of risk that comes with unprofitable trades. Most important, you have to understand the profit potential of the advisor. Once you have tested its algorithm and seen how well it works in practice, once you are confident that it is workable, at that point you can consider its purchase and application in your trading.

2. Always try to canvass the Internet for all available information about the Forex advisor in question. Frankly, I am rather sceptical when it comes to online reviews. However, they are not useless. I always evaluate the reviews I read. Sometimes you can tell fake reviews from genuine ones. Lively discussions and debates, opposing viewpoints - they can all help you analyze the quality and genuineness of the reviews for a given product, and test it for objectivity. On the other hand, an abundance of reviews that seem "tailor-made" warrants scepticism. Such reviews should be taken with a grain of salt. In any case, the point is to obtain as much information as possible, put it all together, and decide whether a purchase of the product makes sense.

3. The more impatient among Forex traders sometimes snap up several advisors or experts at once to start trading. There is really no need to hurry. Things are best done in an orderly manner. It is much better to evaluate whether it is worth buying one Forex trader before moving on to another, if the need for a second one exists. Yes, many advisors can work concurrently and complement each other. It is certainly possible. But a good deal of thought should go into the use of multiple advisors. It is necessary to understand how a Forex advisor works, adjust and fine-tune it, determine what, if anything, is missing. Only then does it make sense to look for another Forex advisor to complement the first one. Above all, keep in mind that you also need a surplus of cash in your account for possible emergency situations.

4. Let's assume that you have bought an advisor. Do not rush to start using it. See how well it works with market quotes, check for compatibility with your chosen MetaTrader 4 strategy. You may find that something has gone awry. In that case, I advise you to contact the developer or retailer of the product. Usually, you should be able to get them to adjust the settings of the advisor so that it can perform as per your requirements.

5. Be prudent. If you have just purchased a Forex advisor, it is best to avoid trading with large sums of money. Test it first with smaller amounts to get a feel for it. Never forget the rules of money management. Whatever the size of money that you allot to trading, the rules will always help you preserve your capital.

Other conditions necessary for successful trading with Forex advisors

1. The primary prerequisite is having constant, uninterrupted access to the Internet. Those who have the benefit of experience know what it's like to lose your connection at the most inopportune of times. It is a waste of both time and money. Therefore, be sure to secure your trading terminal against possible interruptions. Many professional traders place their experts on VPS servers with the MT4 trading terminal. Or they use hosting. Let me be clearer. Constant, round-the-clock use of your computer may be problematic and inconvenient. Imagine for a moment that your computer works 24 hours a day - a situation that is probably less than ideal. You can, however, rent virtual space. If you are trading on a small scale, this is out of the question. If you are going to trade with a lot of money, though, renting virtual space will protect you from connection disruptions with your broker.

2. A bit more about money management. If you are using a single Forex advisor to trade in several currency pairs, your trade volume has to be reasonable. The reason for that is simple: there is no such thing as a non-losing Forex advisor. As with Forex trading strategies, foolproof Forex advisors do not exist. If you risk your entire position at once, a momentary loss of connection can wipe out your entire position instantly.

Unfortunately, it often happens that people don't observe basic rules of money management, lose their money, and blame it on the Forex advisor. Even a cursory review of the situation usually reveals that the losses have more to do with the trader rather than the advisor. From an incorrect calculation of size and volume to a lack of basic technical analysis planning, the reasons can vary but have nothing to do with the advisor used.

Admittedly, I have had a chance to observe a lot of different traders, enough to say that there are no pat formulae. Some trade using maximum lots and somehow achieve substantial capital appreciation instead of getting wiped out, sometimes in as little as one week, while starting out with small amounts of money. These traders take their profits off the table and resume trading with small amounts again, to "ram up" the size of the original deposit. In that situation, even the loss of the entire deposit will not be fatal, because the trader has started off with a modest deposit. The risks are contained. It's not the worst of strategies, and if it works, its existence is justified. In any case, it's just an example of how your capital can be managed. If it works and makes profits, it is legitimate. In fact, never mind profits: it is legitimate as long as it doesn't lead to losses.

3. Always keep tabs on how your advisor is doing, even if it has been working correctly. Be especially vigilant if you have been using the advisor for a long period of time. If you see that your advisor is beginning to make unprofitable trades, it will be prudent to switch to trading with minimum lots while you try to determine the cause of the problem.

As for using advisors for your trading - a lot of people erroneously believe that advisors can solve all of their problems. That is not the case. A Forex advisor has its limitations. Don't delude yourself into thinking that you can leave your advisor to trade on its own and come back sometime later to collect a million dollars. An advisor is only an assistant. If you have chosen a certain strategy, this assistant will help you determine whether you are going in the right direction. The really big upside of using a Forex advisor is that it frees you from a number of psychological problems that often accompany Forex trading. Considering that mental clarity is vital to successful trading, the advantage is obvious.

Important Tips For Stock Trading

By Sylvester Madxen

Stock trading is one of the ventures that you can put your money in so as to get some extra money to supplement your income. You however need to understand what this business is all about if you want to have an easy time navigating it and increase your chance of profitability. If you enter the stock market blindly, you will be at a high risk of losing your money.

One of things you need to know about stocks is that they are not mere pieces of paper. When doing stock trading, you are taking a share of ownership of the company whose stocks you will have bought. The company is collectively owned by all of its shareholders, and each share that every individual has bought from that company represents a claim on assets as well as earnings.

Another thing you need to understand about stocks before you start trading in the stock market is that there various kinds of stocks. Some of the ways that you can use to divide the market include size, sector as well as type of growth patterns. You will hear stock investors mostly talking about energy versus technology stocks, large cap versus small cap stocks, or growth versus value stocks. These are examples of the stocks that you will find in the market.

      Read also : Forex Money Management Rules

You also need to know the behavior of the stock market. Over the short term, the behavior of this market is usually based on factors such as fear, enthusiasm, news and rumors. Over the long term, it is mostly the company earnings that affect the movement of the stock. The company earnings determine whether a stock will go up, sideways or down.

Another important fact you need to understand about stock trading is that a great track record of a company does not always mean that there will be guaranteed strong performance in the future. What determines the stock prices are future projections on earnings of the company. A strong track record is a good factor to consider when choosing a company to buy your shares, but it is also important to know that even the best companies can slip.

In order to get a sense of whether the stock you want to buy is overvalued or undervalued, you should compare the price of that stock to earnings, revenue, and cash flow among other fundamental criteria. It will also be a good idea to compare the company's performance alongside the performance of the industry that it is in. You should consider purchasing stocks from companies whose sectors are more robust as opposed to those that are operating in industries that are experiencing slow growth.

Some people usually engage in rapid-fire trading while others choose to buy and hold good stocks for a long time. The latter will be a smarter idea than the former if you want to maximize your profits when trading in the stock market. If you go the short-term trading way, you will need to be pay close attention to fluctuations in stock prices all the time.

Forex Money Management Rules

By Adil Adeel


The money management strategy is very personalized, since it is designed and executed to meet individual requirements of a trader. This strategy varies from one trader to another, because every trader has a different goal, different risk tolerance level, and different amount of capital. Therefore, there is no universal advice to formulate this strategy.

However, following are some tips that can be used by binary options traders to select a reasonable money management strategy that will be useful for them to make profitable trades:

Control the Risk and Achieve Consistency

A trader must be careful in formulating the money management strategy to increase returns. The successful binary options traders with long term plans do not seek to increase their return. Instead, they strive to control the risk, and achieve consistency over a longer period of time. They try to find the techniques that will help them attain consistent outcome with minimal drawdowns, even if it means earning small profits in the process. Therefore, a trader should control his risk, and achieve consistency first, and then accept the returns no matter how small they are.

Try to Achieve Break Even

In the past few years, most traders have adopted a strategy to risk a small portion of their profit. Money management strategy is also known as fixed fractional trading, as it decreases the dollar amount of risk when a trader suffers a loss, and increases the risk level when he earns profits. Therefore, a trader must strive to achieve a breakeven with a proper money management strategy. When traders use this strategy to risk a small portion of their profit, they turn their trading system into a loser. But if their approach involves risking a fixed dollar amount on every trade they place, it will not only improve the system's performance, but will also allow them to hit the break even, and improve profits.

However, this approach has its down side. By adopting it, the recovery of the drawdowns is not as quick as traders expect, and the profits cannot be recovered as fast as they were made by traders.

Periodically Taking out Profits and investing them elsewhere to allow Diversification

In order to get back the profits as quickly as they were made by traders using fixed dollar amount approach, a trader must take some profit out of his account, and invest it elsewhere to allow diversification and reduce the overall risk. Being a trader, you must make it a habit to take a portion of your profit and invest it where it can be best utilized to increase its value.

Although, the account balance may grow at a slower pace with this approach, but it is better to keep on increasing the value of your money than to expose it to risk. This way, a trader will be relieved and stress free by reducing his bet size, in case he faces a series of losses.

Keeping the Focus on Maximizing Returns is not a Wise Approach

Therefore, a successful trading approach with a money management strategy is to keep a certain amount of profit aside, and invest it in something more productive to diversify away the risk. Nowadays, every trader tries to find a formula to maximize the returns, but what they don't realize is that winning big doesn't mean they will not suffer losses. Sometimes, the highly profitable accounts end up losing all of the balance due to lack of understanding.

A trader must always develop a sound trading plan when placing their money in the binary options market, because it is the real money they are trading with. Therefore, they have to adopt reasonable strategies and approaches to trade successfully in the market. Being a trader, if you manage to keep a portion of your profit aside every time you trade, it will improve the overall value of your investment, and boost your confidence.

Know Your Risks With Trading Options

Risk is a core element of trading in the Stock Market. When trading any security at any level, there is no way to avoid risk, but only the ability to manage and minimize that risk. Any professional trader would agree that risk management is a critical component of building a successful portfolio over the long-term. And within that, the art of trading options carries risks, just the same. It is critical to your trading success that you recognize and understand the most common risks that come along with trading options.

The first risk, and one of the most important, is the risk of losing your entire investment in a relatively short period of time. Options carry with them an expiration, and if you ride that option contract until the expiration date, losing your entire investment will be the byproduct. Along with that, is the fact that you can lose your entire investment BEFORE the expiration date, as the option goes further out-of-the-money (OTM). Without tending to your option contract, you are bound to wave your investment goodbye.

Option contracts have what are called exercise provisions. Just like with any contractual agreement, these are the rules, regulations, and limitations tied to the contract that the buyer must adhere to. With these provisions, come obstacles that create risk that is out of your hands and out of your control. The only control the buyer has is to either not purchase that particular option contract, or manage that position based on the provisions he or she is trading. Also critical, is the fact that regulatory agencies may impose exercise restrictions which may stop you from seizing certain opportunities and realizing value.

Now when it comes to selling options, there are also particular risks that come along with this side of the business. In perfect design, the relationship between an option contract buyer and seller should be always be mutually beneficial. But the inherent risk is the simple fact that options sold may be exercised at anytime before expiration, at the buyer's discretion.

When it comes to selling different types of calls, there are risks and parameters that come along with each entry. Concerning selling covered calls, the risk lies in the fact that you forgo the right to profit when option's underlying stock rises above the strike price of the call options sold. You then continue to run a risk when the underlying stock declines past your covered call income.

There will always be risk when dealing with selling naked calls and puts. The critical risk to note is that sellers of a naked call risk unlimited losses if the underlying stock rises and, inversely, that sellers of a naked put risk significant losses if the underlying stock drops. Sellers of naked positions also run "margin call" risks if the position yields significant losses. Such may include, but are not limited to, "subject to liquidation" by the broker. This is not fun and should be avoided at all costs!

A stipulation that may run a risk without the right strategy, is that as a seller of stock options, you are obligated under the terms of the contract to deliver the option they sold whether or not a trading market is available or whether or not they are able to perform a closing transaction. In that same context, is the fact that the value of an option contract (call or put) may surge or plummet unexpectedly when the underlying stock or security moves drastically, leading to automatic exercises and losses.

You cannot run from risk. With trading any security in the Stock Market, and of course trading stock options, there will always be risk brought on by the nature of the security and the risks brought on by your trading decisions. Of course, you can implement the    various proven strategies to guide your trading, there is also risk in adhering to the complexities of these strategies. There is no way to avoid risk in the Stock Market, there is only to manage and minimize risk.

Forex observers identify the following as top factors that impact the Forex currency market:

International Trade

How the balance of trade plays between two countries is a huge factor in determining currency values. A trade deficit happens when there are more goods and services being imported than exported. In this case, the country spends more domestic currency in the purchase of foreign currency to buy the goods, weakening the currency value of the country. In the meantime, there will be a surplus when exports are greater than imports, which pushes up the country's currency value.

Economic Conditions

The direction of a country's economy will affect its currency value, and every shift that happens will impact the Forex market as well. Naturally, when the economy is strong and growing, market confidence blossoms and the domestic currency becomes more stable and more valuable.Serious traders often keep an eye on different indicators such as government policies, credit ratings, foreign investments and other elements representing various components of the economy to determine how a country's currency rate will compare to others.

Recent Events

Do You Want To Invest In The Stock Market?

By Mansfield Peters

There is certainly money to be made when playing the stock market, but the first thing you have to ask before getting started is whether or not you have the personality traits to become an investor. That is what we will try to address throughout the course of this article.

The idea of investing may have come from hearing a story about someone who bought into a stock at a low price and sold it for a much higher price in a short period of time, making a nice chunk of change in the process. While that can happen, it's not something that happens regularly for the average investor.

Here are some things you may do well to consider before you do any investing.

Are you able to look at things objectively?

Can you make decisions without any type of personal bias coming into play?

Will you be able to stick to the amount of money you plan on investing?

Are you able to stop yourself from adding more money when you lose on a trade?


You need to have a clear financial objective in mind when you start investing, and that has to be maintained over the long haul. If you are thinking of cashing in your retirement savings and "gambling" on the stock market, investing may not be for you.

If you can take a percentage of your disposable income and work hard at following trends on the market, you may do well. It helps to be able to look at your investing in the same way as you would a savings account. Sometimes the gains you make will be small, but as longs as your balance is increasing you will be on the right track to financial success. Before you start out, you need to be aware of just how much you can afford to invest, and you need to stick to that number.

Can you set goals and take advice from others?

We briefly touched on the fact that you need to have a plan when you invest. You need to decide whether you are saving for your retirement, trying to create a second income, or perhaps looking for shorter term investments that might yield enough to create a down payment for a car or home. Your financial goals will determine the type of investment that will suit your specific goals. For example, mutual funds or municipal bonds are often the way to go for those looking to start a retirement fund. Once you make that decision, you can then draw up a budget that fits your plan.

If you are new to investing, you are likely going to need some help to get the ball rolling. There are a number of large investment companies out there who have found managers and consultants ready to offer sound advice. Can you listen to that advice and choose the plan that works best for you? It's important to be objective her once again, as the information and advice given may be contrary to what you wanted to do. Can you take that advice and understand that the experts know better than you do when it comes to investing?

While it may seem like an odd question, you need to ask if you have what it takes to pull the trigger on a deal. It can seem easy to make a down payment or a car or a home, usually because you have a tangible product right in front of you that show what you got for that money. That's not the case with investing, and some people will balk at dropping thousands of dollars on what amounts to a piece of paper.

Do You Have The Patience To Ride It Out?

We are assuming at this point that you have done all your homework, taken advice, and have a plan on how to invest and how much. The final question you have to ask is whether or not you have the personality and patience to see your investment through to the end.



Can you wait until the investments you made mature and bring in the money?

Can you hang in there when your investments take a dip, which they most likely will at some point or another?


If you can let it go and are able to keep your end goal in sight at all times, you will be fine. If you are someone who stresses over every little detail, you may not be good with the ups and downs of investing. By all means check in on your investments on a regular basis, but always stick to the plan you had going in. Instincts and listening to good advice makes for a great investor.

If you went the retirement investment route with mutual funds, you really don't have to check in that often. You really won't see any changes on a monthly basis, so think about just checking in quarterly. If you have a fund manager, let him take control, whilst also making sure that he knows to contact on a regularly agreed upon schedule.

What Is the Best Form of Trading?

By J. S. Ryan

Day trading has taken the market by storm, but the fact still remains that very few people are actually successful at it which leaves a lot of traders wondering what they are doing wrong. With the variety of strategies available now, it's very difficult to stick to one thing and not search for something better when you have a losing streak.

This article aims to improve your knowledge and guide you in the right direction on knowing what to do and what not to do.

1. Don't listen to the media. This is not a dig at the financial journalists but they are very off putting when it comes to trading, as one day they are screaming a bull market and the next day they are screaming a bear market. So although they can talk a good spiel, half of the recommendations they share end up doing no better than your own. If you've put a trade on and you hear conflicting information from someone in a newspaper, magazine or TV, don't change your mind because of them, as thousands of other traders will have the exact same opinion as you.

      Read also : Things To Consider While Selecting An Ideal Forex Broker

2. Set yourself targets. When entering a trade, if you haven't got a clear defined strategy before you've placed a trade, you've already started off on the wrong foot. What you need to know beforehand is what you are willing to risk on the trade and what you are looking to make in regards to profit on the trade, and make sure your profit is larger than what you want to risk.

Stop losses should always be used and place in valid price level, mainly below or above support and resistance levels, depending if you are going long and short. Lets say you the S&P 500 is currently at 2005, support is at 2000 and you think it will go to 2050, you can't be placing your stop loss exactly at 2000 as you have a high chance of it getting stopped out. So make sure you put it wide enough to stop this from happening, so maybe between 1996-1994..

3. Don't chase your losses. If you've had a bad run, don't start increasing your position size to make it back as you could end up blowing up your whole account. It might even be wiser to decrease your position size until you start to feel comfortable again. Also sometimes its better to not trade if the conditions aren't right, and trading for the sake of it is never a good idea.

4. Be prepared for market swings. You are never going to guess the market right every time, so you will need to be prepared for big swings which can seriously hurt your positions. So instead of trying to react after the market has moved, wait it out and once it's calmed down, see what adjustments need to be made.

5. Consider using advice from a professional. Let's face it, it's a very time consuming job and professionals have a much better understanding of how the markets move and why. What a lot of people do is use advice alongside doing it themselves, so when they start to get very good at it, they can then look at cutting the advisory broker away from the equation.

Even if you do all of these steps correctly, it will never guarantee you success, but at least you will be moving in the right direction to building your trading account for the long term.

Things To Consider While Selecting An Ideal Forex Broker

By Rajesh B Sanghvi

Forex is the world's biggest financial market, where an average of above $4 trillion is being traded everyday. For conducting trades in this lucrative foreign exchange market, you have to select a reliable broker platform. You can check out the Forex broker review sites and choose the best ones that best suit your trading style and capacity.

Selecting a Forex Broker - Things to Consider

Regulatory Compliance:

An authorized broker in the US must be registered with the CFTC, which is an independent Government agency. Additionally, they should also be a member of NFA, a self-regulatory organization. Never get impressed with professional and flashy looking websites. Try and find out, if they are worth doing business with.

     Read also : How Beginners Can Start Making Money Through Forex

On the webpage, you will find the broker's NFA membership number, and if they have the CFTC registration, it will also be mentioned. This research is necessary, owing to possible concerns about the safety of deposits, and the broker's integrity. Remember to open accounts only with the brokerage firms that are duly regulated.

Account details

Terms of opening trading accounts differ from one firm to another.

> Leverage and margin - Variety of leverage options are provided to Forex traders. They can be somewhere in the lines of 200:1 or 50:1. Leverage is a credit provided to the margin account holder. If leverage works positively, then it brings in high profits, but losses get equally magnified if the exchange market goes in the opposite direction.

> Commissions & spreads - Broker earns through commissions & spreads. Commissions can be charged on specified spread percentage. Some brokers do not charge commission, but make cash with wider spreads.

> Initial deposit - Traders can open an account with small initial deposits. With leverage, the buying power increases, more than minimum deposit. It is appealing to the new investors.

> Ease of deposit & withdrawal - Deposit & withdrawal policies differ. Account holders can fund accounts online using credit card, PayPal, wire transfer, etc. Withdrawals can be made through wire transfer or check. Fees may be charged for withdrawal services.

Offered currency pairs

Major currency pairs are USD/JPY, EUR/USD, USD/CHF and GBP/USD. You will be offered a lot of Forex currency pairs, but make sure that the list includes the pair that you are interested in.

Customer service

Foreign exchange market runs for 24 hours, so a brokerage firm must provide customer support round the clock. Auto attendant is frustrating, whereas talking to live person is always a comfort.

A call can give you the idea about their customer service quality. You will know if the representative is able to easily answer your questions regarding leverage, spreads, company details, and regulations.

Trading platform

The software provided by the trading platform must be visually pleasing, easy to use, have technical & fundamental analysis tools. A well-designed trade platform has clear 'sell' and 'buy' buttons.

Other features to consider would include availability of automated trading options, back-testing, trading alerts, strategy builders, and customization options. You can start with the free demo accounts to get familiar with the trading platform.

If you are in need of a business to invest your money to get profit, I recommend Forex trading. There are other markets such as futures, treasury bonds and stock that you can invest your money into. But the reason why Forex is far more preferable is due to its liquidity and affordability.

Unlike other markets whereby you are not permitted to withdraw your money since it yields interest gradually, you can withdraw your money in Forex anytime you choose to.

The good news is that things have been made easy and average individuals can now participate in Forex market. Individuals who do not have enough money can borrow $500 and refund it gradually as they begin to make profit.

Forex traders analyze the market before placing any trade. That's why the Forex market is not a gambling game as many people think. There are two ways to analyze the Forex market. They include the fundamental and the technical analysis. The technical analysis deals with the use of chart and charting indicators to predict the direction of the market. The other one, the fundamental analysis deals with the use of reports from the government to predict the direction of the market.

Traders' opinions are quite different. Some traders rely solely on technical analysis. They believe that the technical analysis gives them all they need. Some traders on the other hand prefer the fundamental analysis while many other traders use both for analyzing the market condition.

The Forex market can be traded anywhere in the world. You only need a laptop, PC or a VPS (Virtual Private Server) to ensure that you are always online. Gone are the days when you need to stay with your computer whenever you place an order. Metatrader has made everything easier. In metatrader, you can place a stop loss or take profit and go anywhere you want. I shall cover that in my next post. Also, in place of VPS, you can monitor your trade with smart phones.

Apart from the client based version, an investor can decide to trade the Forex market by making use of the web-based version. The web-based version is only recommended for the professional traders. The best version for the newbies is the client based version to enable them to trade effectively.

Studies show that over 4 trillion dollars are traded in the Forex market. This makes Forex the largest market in the world. This indicates that anyone with good knowledge of Forex can make thousands of dollars.

An important question to ask by prospective Forex traders is, is the Forex market risky? The answer is definitely yes. Just like all other businesses, Forex trading can be very risky. In fact, due to the volatility of the Forex market, Forex is by far riskier than other businesses. However, with a good knowledge and money management, you will trade successfully and make thousands of dollars. As a newbie, it is advisable to risk little money on each trade you place to prevent exhausting all the money in your account.

Scalp Trading and Razor Thin Profits

Author: Leroy Rushing

Scalping is known for buying and selling within a matter of minutes. Unlike swing trading of holding positions for a few days or weeks, or even the day trading strategies of holding positions for hours, scalping involves holding a position for a matter of minutes. In just a few minutes, scalping can yield a highly leveraged trader thousands of dollars.

Who Scalps?

Professional traders that use scalping techniques are numerous. Scalping is best known for its impact on the foreign exchange markets where the commission is built into the price and prices move more smoothly than equities markets. Scalping requires buying and selling in a short amount of time for a very small return on investment. It is the volume of profitable trades that results in a lucrative strategy.

Small Wins, Smaller Losses

One major downside to scalping is the razor thin profits it produces. For example, traders must give up a few cents or pips in Forex just to make back the commission, and then have the stock move their way a few more pips. For most currency pairs, scalpers will pay up to 50% of their profits just in the spread. Highly liquid currencies get this ratio down to much lower levels of about 25%, but the challenge remains the same. Day trading lowers the overall profit considerably because of the high amounts of commission built into the price.

Some believe that producing consistent profits is much easier in scalping because of the short entry and exit times. The odds of constant success with scalping are much lower because of the amount of spread paid for each trade. Scalping also requires full-time position of monitoring your investments, as many professional traders will make up to 40-50 trades in one day alone. Losses are numerous in scalping, but the profits usually outweigh the losses.

Make Your Own Trading Style

Developing a proper trading style for scalping usually involves very short stop losses of just a few cents or pips, but profits are usually set at multiples of the stop losses. For example, a popular strategy in Forex is to place a stop loss at -10 pips but a take profit of about 15 pips. With this specific strategy, a professional trader needs to generate a profit on 2 out of every 5 trades, something that can be more easily accomplished than winning 50% or all of the trades. Scalping isn't for everyone, but for the few dedicated enough to make it work, huge profits can be realized in just a few minutes.

Volume is the Secret to Futures Trading

Author: John Gleason

Volume is the indicator which technical analysts constantly look at to determine whether or not a move in the markets, a single stock or sector has conviction. It may also be the easiest of all indicators to understand. Add the number of shares/contracts traded in a given period, and you have the answer. It requires no weightings or exotic mathematical formulas. It simply indicates enthusiasm or lack thereof for a financial instrument and it has nothing to do with the price of the instrument. Mastering the volume indicators can be the ‘keys to the city' that traders look for because volume precedes price.

To confirm a market turnaround or trend reversal, the technical analyst must determine whether or not the measurements of price and volume momentum agree with each other. If they do not, it is a sure indicator of weakness in the trend, and thus a trend reversal may be well on the horizon. If we look at volume from the standpoint of momentum we see a recognizable level of buying and selling activity. Because volume is paramount I use five different volume indicators in my charts, as follows;

  • Up/Down Volume Indicator
  • Volume Moving Average – (VOLMA)
  • Volume Rate of Change – (VROC)
  • Volume Oscillator – (VO)
  • On Balance Volume Oscillator – (OBV)
Up/Down Volume Indicator
This indicator merely shows the total number of contracts traded, plotted in green or red indicating whether the up or down volume was greater on that particular bar.
Volume Moving Average
The VOLMA normally plots/overlays the Volume Indicator, showing the average volume over the last number of bars/periods. The default is typically 20 periods; however, you can adjust the input values depending upon the time frame in use.
Volume Rate of Change
This indicator shows whether or not a volume trend is developing in either an up or down direction. This indicator also provides insight into the strength or weakness of a Price trend. THE VOLMA plots the most recent bars volume and compares it to the average volume of the previous 14 bars on a 5-minute chart (35 bars on a 2 minute chart). The results are plotted as a value fluctuating above or below the zero line.
A positive value suggests enough market support to continue to drive prices actively in the direction of the trend (whether it be up or down). While a negative reading below the zero line suggests that there is lack of support to continue the existing trend and prices may begin to become stagnant or reverse.
Volume Oscillator
The VOuses the difference between two moving averages of volume to determine if the trend is increasing or decreasing. The fast volume moving average is usually over a period of 14 bars/periods. The slow volume moving average is usually 28 bars/periods. On a regular basis, analysts argue over whether or not the lengths of these time periods are appropriate. Some say that 14 and 28 are too conservative while others argue these numbers are not conservative enough. Many short-term traders use 5-10 (fast MA) and 20 (slow MA) as input values.
The histogram, like an oscillator, fluctuates above and below a zero line. Volume can provide insight into the strength or weakness of a price trend. This indicator plots positive values above the zero line and negative values below the line. A positive value suggests there is enough market support to continue driving price activity in the direction of the current trend (up or down). A negative value suggests there is a lack of support and that prices may begin to become stagnant or reverse. A value above zero indicates that the shorter term volume moving average has risen above the longer term volume moving average. This indicates that the shorter term trend is higher than the longer term trend.
A rising Volume Oscillator usually suggests a strengthening of the Trend while a falling Volume Oscillator usually suggests a weakening of the trend. But that is not always true. Rising prices with increased short-term volume is bullish as is falling prices with decreased volume. Falling prices with increased volume or rising prices with decreased volume indicate market weakness.
The Volume Oscillator confirms price movement. When volume is low but gains and losses are big, the professionals are most likely getting overly excited about a possible turn in market direction. That's because many have been taught that without strong volume a market move is not valid. Here we look at how to interpret volume and the principles behind doing so.
Significance. If a market is rallying, the volume oscillator should rise. When the issue becomes overbought, the oscillator will reverse its direction. If the market is declining or moving in a horizontal direction, the volume should contract. Always keep in mind that we are measuring changes in volume, and volume expands during a sell-off. It is important to note that an increasing price together with declining volume is always, without exception, bearish. When the market is at the top, one would therefore see an oversold volume chart. Another important fact is that rising volume together with declining prices is also bearish.
On Balance Volume
The OBV plots as a running total of volume. It adds to the running total, the volume of each bar with a higher close than the previous bar and subtracts from the running total the volume of each bar with a lower close than the previous bar. It shows if volume is flowing into or out of a security. When the security closes higher than the previous close, all of the period's volume is considered up-volume. When the security closes lower than the previous close, all of the period's volume is considered down-volume.
The basic assumption, regarding OBV analysis, is that OBV changes precede price changes. The theory is that smart money can be seen flowing into the security by a rising OBV. When the public then moves into the security, both the security and the OBV will surge ahead.
If the security's price movement precedes OBV movement, a "non-confirmation" has occurred. Non-confirmations can occur at bull market tops (when the security rises without, or before, the OBV) or at bear market bottoms (when the security falls without, or before, the OBV).
The OBV is in a rising trend when each new peak is higher than the previous peak and each new trough is higher than the previous trough. Likewise, the OBV is in a falling trend when each successive peak is lower than the previous peak and each successive trough is lower than the previous trough. When the OBV is moving sideways and is not making successive highs and lows, it is in a doubtful trend.
The relative value or trend direction is more important than the numeric value. For example higher prices with light volume will cause the OBV to rise slowly indicating a lack of conviction. A rising OBV suggests a strengthening of the trend (up or down). A falling OBV suggests a weakening of the trend (up or down)
Once a trend is established, it remains in force until it is broken. There are two ways in which the OBV trend can be broken. The first occurs when the trend changes from a rising trend to a falling trend, or from a falling trend to a rising trend.
The second way the OBV trend can be broken is if the trend changes to a doubtful trend and remains doubtful for more than three days. Thus, if the security changes from a rising trend to a doubtful trend and remains doubtful for only two days before changing back to a rising trend, the OBV is considered to have always been in a rising trend.
When the OBV changes to a rising or falling trend, a "breakout" has occurred. Since OBV breakouts normally precede price breakouts, investors should buy long on OBV upside breakouts. Likewise, investors should sell short when the OBV makes a downside breakout. Positions should be held until the trend changes (as explained in the preceding paragraph). This method of analyzing On Balance Volume is designed for trading short-term cycles. Investors must act quickly and decisively if they wish to profit from short-term OBV analysis.
