Forex Currency Trading, A Great Work At Home Opportunity.
Everyday more and more people looking for a work at home opportunity and the possibility of braking free from the corporate world without losing their current lifestyle and even improving it, realize that the world of forex currency trading could be the answer to what they have been looking for.
Some of the great reasons why FOREX trading is such a great way of entering the capital markets are; it’s easy accessibility thanks to the widespread use of the internet, the fact that currency trading is all commission-free and also the low transaction costs involved. All the best forex brokers will facilitate you a trading account with these characteristics and even Mini Forex traders (i.e., traders starting with accounts having a capital as low as $250), who are just starting in this field, can buy and sell currencies online always commission-free.
When trading the forex markets you don’t have to worry everyday about fees you may have to pay your broker; there are also none of the usual fees to which futures and equity traders are used to pay every day the enter a trade; no exchange or clearing fees, no NFA or SEC fees.
You may be asking how forex brokers make money if they don’t charge you fees for placing trades. They make money thanks to one characteristic of currency markets, this is, they are over-the-counter markets and trading them involves a bid/ask spread and that’s how the brokers make money. Thankfully the currency markets are capable of offering you a round-the-clock liquidity and this way you will receive tight, competitive spreads both in intra-day and night trades, without worrying about having big spreads in prices.
Once you have decided to enter and learn how to trade forex, always remember that practice and more practice makes the master and one of the best ways to get a feel for the market is to paper trade. No one wants to experiment with their own hard earned money; this is why many brokers came up with an innovative idea that would take all the risk from trying out forex trading. This way of trading is called simulation trading or paper trading as mentioned above, and the premise is simple. The program is an exact copy of the broker or trading systems real-time trading program. The main difference is that they allow you to “play” the market just as you would if you were actually investing, but obviously without the persistent worry of losing your money. You can do a simulation trade with a set amount of money, usually around $50,000 dollars. You can practice setting bid and ask prices, and using their various analysis tools provided by the broker software, which is the same you would have in a real account.
From all these facts you can see there are many advantages, and lots of money to be made, if you decide to enter the world of forex currency trading and learn the basics of the markets behavior.

Here some answer the question about forex capital markets
how should I invest, or what business should I run as a finance/accounting student?
I have a bit of capital I can invest towards starting a home based business or investing (about $2500), and I would like to get some ideas on how I can make some money online, through home business, or personal investments. I have a very analytical mind, and I would like to put it to use.
I have a weakness in advertising/marketing, but I am very good with budgets, margins, and things to do with numbers. Should I invest the money in the stock market or forex? If so, what kind of return would be "reasonable" for a novice? What other business/money making ideas do you have??

Well, I keep a track of my last, say … 10 trades, and oppose that to my last 12 months trades

Good question Jake.
It’s per trade. Not all the trades together. So if you have two trades on, as long as the markets are not related? Then 2% risk, on each one, 4% for the two.

Hey Dan,
it took me a joint to understand what you just explianed! great job man…so you need to keep record of 12months trades THEN you can figure out next year risk capital %? Is this lagging somehow?

There really is nothing you can do. He is determined and will resent your interference. The three things in life that are additive to men. Women- drugs/alcohol- gambling Not all men are additive to all three but each has its own power to destroy. He is on the gambling faze. Let him loose his money and you should learn and realize the power of the three of them. I have one friend who has all three mess him up. He smokes marijuana daily for 25 year, has traded futures for over 10 years loosing untold thousands and has a wife, soon to be ex-wife that is going to take what ever he has left.

First things first, its imperative with investments such as FOREX or stocks, you use discretionary income. Savings accounts, IRAS, rainy day funds, ect, may not make you rich, but are important to hedge against market losses and essential to your financial security. But its both wise, and okay to have a smaller initial investment. With FOREX, you'll have great leverage in your favor anyway.
Its also great you have a lot of time, but regardless if you had one week, or one century, the worst mistake you could make would be jumping in with real money first. You'd have more fun lighting the money on fire and having the same result. Practice, paper-trade, play accounts, do it once and beat out the indexes and inflation, and you're off to a great start. Do it again, and again, and again. Read everything you can about which ever investment you decide upon, or your $1000 will be tuition for the markets and what you learn. Trust me, ask any trader and the majority jumped right in with real money, lost it all, and learned what they could have learned without losing the money. Don't believe the hype and scams about "stock systems." Develop your own, formulate your own rules, and live and die by them.
But back to your request for advice, to sum it up. Practice with play accounts/demo accounts/paper-trade over and over again until you are 100% comfortable and have a good understanding of what it is you are investing in. That is the easiest and best way to get into online investing. Google search for some FOREX play accounts, these sites usually also have options for real accounts when you're ready with great leverage, 100:1, even 200:1 I can recall seeing.
Best of luck.

Borrowing money to trade on is a really really BAD idea.

hi Dan,
Thank you for posting this series. Its a great series.
I have a question on this ‘% of capital risk’. Is it the risk per trade? or is it the combined risk of all active trades?
Thanks,
Jake
