Forex is similar to stock trading because it’s a speculative form of investment, so before you get started with your trading it’s important to understand the risk and the potential of returns are both huge.

Some years ago, the forex market was dominated by banks and other important financial entities that had access to currency dealing desks, but the internet changed it all. Now trading Forex from home is a possibility opened up to everybody. You can start forex trading as long as you have a computer with a high speed internet connection and the funds to invest in your trading account.

Isn’t it amazing how the internet has opened up the world of real time Forex trading to the home computer user?

Let’s go over some important and basic things to take into account when you’re just starting out or willing to get started trading Forex…

Online foreign currency trading involves speculating on the relative values of the different currencies of the world. As a Forex trader you deal with currencies, with a currency pair, so when a currency that you bought increases in value, you make money… and as long as you can predict those rises and falls, you can make money trading Forex.

Of course, knowing which way the prices are likely to move will require some skills. The most common way of analyzing the fluctuations in a particular currency pair is to use charts. These plot the price movements in the recent past and help you to see when trends are forming. Using these tools takes time and some practice, but fortunately you can get that practice without risking any real money…

You don’t need money to open a Demo account. Brokers offer demo or practice accounts so that you can try out their systems and tools without risking any real money.

Demo accounts allow new traders to test their skills and learn to make money. Forex beginners are recommended to use a demo account to try out their trading techniques and not go live until you are sure that you can be profitable, or know at least something about risk management so you avoid having to face wipe out.

Most Forex brokers will also offer you other tools you’ll need for your trading, like news or indicators to help you try to predict whether the price of a pair seems likely to rise or fall.

Unlike the stock market, one advantage of trading currency for the small time investor is that the forex market operates 24 hours per day during the business week, and because of the global nature of the market, there’s always business hours somewhere in the world,

The best part is that if you have a job or other responsibilities during the day, you can still try to fix your schedule and trade in the evenings, you can even trade in your spare time, the market will always be open for you to place your trades! But there’s really no need to spend hours watching the markets.

Some systems rely on longer term trading where you might only have to check the markets once a day. On the other hand, if you can be online for longer and prefer to be in and out of the market fast, there are day trading and scalping systems to suit that trading style…

Define your aims for your funds, your trading style, stick to one good trading system and happy trading!

–> Soon, The Top Competing EAs Of The FRWC Will Be Available For Purchase

Many of my subscribers have been steadily following the Forex Robot World Cup (FRWC)…

Just a small re-cap for those that haven’t:

The FRWC was created with the objective of finding the best NON-COMMERCIAL Forex robot in the world through a competition based on solid and transparent rules.

What does non-commercial mean? Simple, robots that are not being sold or marketed anywhere but are solely used by their developers.

Hundreds of independent robot developers from all over the globe joined the FRWC to compete for the #1 Prize… US $100,000 (which is why the FRWC got the BEST of the BEST robot developers to participate)!

Now… the competition has two phases, the qualification phase and the live (real money) trading phase.

As of December 1st, 2009 the live trading phase started with 24 robots out of the 329 submitted during the qualification phase (which lasted over 2 months!)

Yes… ONLY 24 robots!

Why so few? Simple – the FRWC’s qualification rules are TOUGH! They have the sole objective of truly having the best of the best compete… robots that have the potential of not just having good results for a short period of time…

…but robots that can be consistently profitable over time.

You can view the live (real money) results of the 24 competing FRWC robots (updates every 15 minutes) here:

…and, by the way, you will also be able to view each robot’s real money live account statement so you can see each and every trade it takes as the competition progresses, right through to the end on Friday, January 29th, 2010.

It is truly exciting to finally see an event designed to separate truth from hype…

…let me explain.

Once the live phase of the FRWC is over this coming Friday, the winning robots will be available for purchase (in very small quantities).

This means one simple thing: THE END OF B.S. ROBOTS IN THE MARKET!

Once and for all, FX traders will be able to put their hands on real, PROVEN money making FX robots.

No marketing hype… no cheap sales pitches… just the natural outcome of the most important automatic FX trading competition, which YOU can follow live AND verify on a daily basis:

The answer lies in the devil within.  The traders who win are those who are capable of executing their trading plans with discipline and precision, and more importantly, they can cope with the VOLATILITY of forex trading.

Theory is if you can identify volatile movements, even if they are small, and execute trades with these volatile movements, buying on the lows and selling them at the peaks, you stand to make big profits. However, in practice, many volatile movements are too fast and tiny to be identified in time to be traded profitably. Where larger volatile movements are identified, it is error in judgment and the speed of execution of the trades that reduce the amount of profits.

When I was conducting research into writing a report on how a trader can recoup his losses after a horrendous period of bad trading, I was pleasantly surprised by a veteran trader who told me he was a profitable trader from day one of his starting trading. This is by no means a false claim, because this flamboyant trader has always been known both for his tremendous skill in trading and for being anything but decent about his skills and his ability to make the correct calls in the market.

Being surprised, I asked him what was his profession before he became a professional trader and a trading coach. His answer added to my surprise, because he said, ” I was a professional poker player and the runner up in the Australian poker championship!”.

Therein lies his great success as a forex trader as well, because as a poker player and a champion player at that, he was accustomed to taking calculated risks.

The secret to trading his style was to take calculated risks in his forex trading.

For example, if you have identified a trade, and you have placed a trade, do not place your stops too near the entry price because the odds favor the stops being hit most of the time.

Rather, you can assess the odds and probability of the stops being hit before you place them.

Again, when a trade presents itself, and you can compute that the odds of winning is in place rather than losing, it is then that you can increase your trades.

If you desire to win big, learn to compute the odds of winning, and like the successful poker player, bet big when the odds are in your favor and stay away from a trade where the odds indicate you will lose.
This is where forex traders will measure their risk-reward ratios for their favorite trade setups and can identify which trade setup will result in bigger profits and with lower risks. This is a skill that you ought to learn to become more profitable.

After awhile you have so many tweaks that you begin to wonder if this a system at all. Many times I have asked myself if I would not do better by just flipping a coin. On most systems flipping a coin would be better. This is sad but true. You see the only trading system that is dependable is money management. I know that you hear this glossed over in every book and system out there but the truth is that 99% of success in trading any market is due to money management. This is the dull side of trading and when you are trying to sell a million copies of a book you have to advertise the flashy side of trading.

A good example is to ask someone what they need to do to put more money into savings and a retirement fund. Most, if not all people respond that they need to earn more money. Wrong answer! The correct answer is by setting and sticking to a budget that allows for money to be saved. You see, for most people earning more money is not as easy as just saying the word. Most of us depend on someone in a supervisory position to award us a pay raise. This means that for the most part earning more money is not in our control. How we budget our money on the other hand is totally within our control. This is why if you are going to make a true change in your finances that you have to choose budgeting to achieve your goal. The reason most people say earn more is because in the back of their mind there are other appealing aspects that go along with earning more money.

Trading systems are the same. It is much more appealing to think that you will by a system and it is going to make you rich. Millions is spent each on trading systems, tapes, seminars, and courses. With this many people buying all this stuff and going into trading America should be bursting at the seams with trading millionaires. That’s not exactly the case though. Why not? Because you can have a great system to trade with, but if you can not manage money you will not make money and in the long run you will lose. The only way to make a true change in your trading is also through a money management strategy.

Commodity Trading Advisor, Genuine Trading Solutions of Toronto, find not all fund managers analyze their market risk.  The company explains this is often due to a lack of education and a failure to understand the mitigating solutions for off-setting risk.

Genuine Trading Solutions President, Dwayne Strocen explains market risk as “the unexpected financial loss following a market decline due to events out of your control.”  He goes on to explain that stock or bond market volatility or market reversals can be the result of global events happening in far flung corners of the globe.  Top analysts and fund managers simply do not have the resources to crystal ball gaze and predict those events.

Examples of several major unexpected events that sent shock waves throughout the financial community have been:

-    1982 Mexican Peso devaluation;
-    1987 stock market crash knows as “Black Monday”;
-    1989 USA Savings and Loan Crisis;
-    1998 Russian Ruble devaluation;
-    1998 $125 billion collapse of Hedge Fund Long Term Capital Management;
-    2006 collapse of Hedge Fund Amaranth with losses of $5.85 billion.

In 1994 Bank J.P. Morgan developed a risk metrics model known as Value-At-Risk or VaR.  While VaR is considered the industry standard of risk measurement, it has its drawbacks.  VaR can measure total dollar value of a funds risk exposure within a certain  level of confidence, usually 95% or 99%.  What it cannot do, is predict when a triggering event will occur or the magnitude of the subsequent fallout.  For some company’s and funds, a steep decline or protracted recession can be devastating.  Even forcing some un-hedged firms into bankruptcy.  A triggering event can have a ripple effect forcing people out of work and economies into recession effectively putting more people out of work.  No person and no economy is immune.

If you own a mutual fund, chances are your fund is un-hedged.  Until recently, mutual fund legislation prevented mutual funds from hedging.  Many jurisdictions have repealed this rule however mutual fund managers have been slow or decided to continue with ‘business as usual”.  The reason is that most investors of mutual funds are unsophisticated and do not understand the hedging process and may re-deem their money from an investment strategy they do not understand.

Hedge funds on the other hand do not have these restraints.  Investors are more sophisticated and are more open to the nature of hedge fund strategies.  Some of which are not disclosed due to a fear of piracy by competing hedge fund managers.

Risk reduction solutions are not complicated but do require the services of a professional who understands the process.  This is the role of Commodity Trading Advisor firms such as Genuine Trading Solutions, also known as a CTA.  President, Dwayne Strocen states that while most CTA’s are hedge fund managers, few specialize in risk management analytics.  Our focus is on the analysis of solutions to reduce or eliminate market and / or operational risk.  No matter the role, all Commodity Trading Advisors are specialists in the derivatives market.

The first step is the value at risk calculation to determine a funds risk liability.  A risk mitigation strategy known as a hedge is then implemented.  After all, identification of one’s risk is only beneficial if a solution to off-set that risk is put into place.  Hedging requires the use of derivatives, either exchange traded or over-the-counter.  They can take many forms.  The most commonly used hedging instruments are index futures, interest rate futures, foreign exchange, exchange traded commodities such as Crude Oil, options and SWAPS.

A more detailed explanation of derivatives and hedging will be discussed in our next article.  Now that we’ve identified an easy solution for your market risk worries, the implementation of the right strategy can be as easy as a call to a qualified and registered Commodity Trading Advisor.

So, what is it that makes Forex Megadroid the favourite of many?

Indeed, it has been said to be as good as, if not even better than a stockbroker. It has the ability to help you trade by looking into the future and has been known to triple investments within 3 months.

In addition, it is a hardworking team mate which carries out its tasks twenty four seven, if you are prepared to leave your internet connection turned on always. This means while you are asleep, it is hard at work, striking new deals and adapting to changing market forces. However, it is vital to remember that this robot cannot be expected to perform when there are sudden major changes in the global economy for example a drop in the Consumer Price Index.

Let us first go through the history of Megadroid. Two forex trading geniuses collaborated with each other and experience of more than four decades which led to the invention of Forex Megadroid. These two geniuses are John Grace and Albert Perrie. These two men put their unique ideas and concepts in their work and at last come up with such great. These men tested their forex robot for about eight years before making it available to the people. In the mean while they made improvements in Megadroid to make it able to work accurately in fluctuating market trends.

The foundation concept behind the invention of Megadroid was to insure hassle free trade in constant and fluctuating market patterns. Thus to execute the idea of making trading process simple, they insured that the robot is easy to use and simple for the people who are not well familiar with the new technology. The megadroid is able to carry out research on the current and past market trends using its artificial intelligence system so one does not need to watch it overtime.

One thing that the reader should keep in his mind is that the Forex Megadroid Robot cannot make you a millionaire overnight. It is a mere exaggeration to claim that it can make you that rich in just a couple of hours. Such forex bots which claim to make you rich in the blink of an eye are more likely to be scams because trading profit is not guaranteed in the fluctuating trends. Megadroid and other forex robots only promise to help you invest in the market at the right time with the error probably of 5% still present. But it is always good to try new products before you actually buy to see whether it is useful for you and comes up to its claims. Before you run to the nearest superstore, first research the web forums and the consumer feed backs about the Megadroid and make sure that it is the right product for your trading business.
