If you are just beginning your Forex trading adventure, then this humorous look at trading is for you. I want to be certain you are informed of these trading best-practices so that profit and success does not accidentally fall your way. After all, money is the root of all evil, so I’m sure you’ll want to avoid that trap at all costs.

What follows is a list of things that you should avoid if your wish is to follow the foolish traders before you who lost it all.

Who Needs A Plan

First and formeost, it is very important that you make absolutely sure you do not have a sensible trading system. Having a well-developed plan could easily lead you down the path to accumulating wealth, which I know is not your intention. If you possessed a system you would have a clear-cut way to open and close profitable deals. Traders who use such systems have an objective way to analyze a deal and evaluate its risks and benefits. So don’t take an objective look at any opportunity in Forex and you will be spared any huge monetary gains.

In the case that some well-meaning person has already helped you create a trading system, by all means, do not ever follow it!

Take Risks – Caution Is For Wimps

Risk all the money you have on any deal, live carelessly because life is short and you want to have as much fun as possible. Remember; NEVER have a sensible trading system and ALWAYS open and close deals at the drop of a hat without analyzing the risk or profitability.

Never trade in a disciplined, planned, and logical manner. Remember your goal is to avoid riches. You might gain exponential profits from this so-called logical system and, even worse, you could develop the knowledge and experience necessary to master the Forex market.

Training? We Don’t Need No Stinking Training!

Do not ever take a Forex training program and never, ever look at historical charts of previous deals and successes.

Stay uninformed. Ignorance is bliss and will lead to a happy, contented life. Most wealthy traders are very well educated, so steer clear of their methods and advice. Do not learn about the economic status or political stability of a country whose currency you are considering investing in. Education is a dangerous commodity for someone devoted to poverty. To ensure failure at Forex trading, be undisciplined, uneducated, and unaware.

Mismanaging Your Money Matters

As far as money management techniques go, they have an underlying insipid purpose. Please don’t be fooled into thinking a money management program is a benefit to you. It will cause you to avoid irresponsible, bankrupting risks and foolish, impetuous decisions. Money management actually helps boost your profits incredibly. Those techniques can cause you to make ten or twenty lucrative deals in a short span of time and greatly increase your Forex trading account. Stay far away from any tried and true money management program. This is in your best interests of failure, of course.

Distractions? What distrac… Hey Look A Squirrell!

Need I point out to ignore any psychological preparation for Forex trading. Cling tenaciously to fear and anxiety. Successful traders learn to harness these emotions so they are not prevented from taking action on a deal at the optimal time for the greatest gain. So, let fear be your master and never try to override it and act logically.

Experienced traders realize that everyone loses a deal now and then, and they remain focused on their overall history of gain and loss. Forget this: lose, lose, lose and never deal effectually with anxiety or learn to overcome fear. It’s the only way to trade unsuccessfully.

Forex requires using a risk-reward (RR) ratio in analyzing deals. I counsel you to never operate with a RR ratio of more than 1-1. If you use a RR ratio of 1-2, you are willing to make twice the amount of profit as compared to your initial investment. Don’t even consider a RR ratio of 1-3. Many successful traders gain the experience to wisely assess a risk and discern when a 1-3 RR ratio is to their financial advantage. Remember your goals. Do not ever use a RR of more than 1-1. Your Forex account might grow quickly. Huge monetary gains are your enemy, right?

If you are diligent to apply all my advice you can be guaranteed no profit whatsoever in Forex trading. Foreign currency trading is a lucrative, growing marketplace with financial opportunities for educated, disciplined traders who set up a well-planned system of opening and closing deals and then stick to their system. They make money in Forex, so always avoid their mistakes and you too might avoid the consistent financial benefits of Forex trading.

The Forex (Foreign Exchange) market saw a doubling in trading volume from 2001 to 2006, and Euromoney (a magazine that reports international banking and finance news) estimates that trading volumes grew 41% between 2007 and 2008. Why?

Because of the Internet. Forex trading used to be the sole domain of big financial institutions. They were the only ones who had the equipment and manpower necessary to monitor the world’s exchange rates in order to find profitable trends.

These days however, there a some forex software packages that allow you and me to also track these markets, and many people are taking advantage of this. The bulk of Forex trading is still done by big financial institutions, but smaller investors are starting to find a place for themselves in the market.

Here’s a quick breakdown of what the average small investor on the Forex market will do with their day: watch trading trends and compare them with previous experience; target potential buys; make the buy; sell when profitable. That may seem to be an oversimplification, but that is essential what online Forex trading is all about.

The hardest part is noticing trends and comparing them with previous experience to develop effect Forex trading strategies, but that is barely a problem anymore because of the new Forex software that has been developed. In the past, if you wanted to investigate market trends you would need firstly to have already collect the past information, and then physical find it and examine it.

Now, the Forex software that you use in order to trade online usually comes prepackaged with functions that analyze current trends. At this point, you may be a little worried. Why should you trust your money to some computer program? The way that people at the big financial institutions analyze market data is that they run the numbers through mathematical formulae trying to find patterns.

Once a pattern is found, there are more mathematical formulas used to determine the causes and effects of this pattern. Of course its possible to hire someone to anlayze your market data anc compare it previous numbers, but they will be using the same math that the Forex software does automatically.

By identifying the top forex software, you are already ahead of the competition in developing your strategies.

Well if you do, you’re in for a reality check and a loss of money. The reason is obvious and it’s enclosed. If you want to know why your odds on to lose with these systems read this article…

The vast majority of Forex robots claim you will make a consistent income with no experience for paying $100.00. of course if this was true and they worked, the vendor wouldn’t need to sell it so cheaply they could sell it for millions of dollars, not $100. In addition the whole world would be trading for a living and not working because for $100 you can get an income for life – but this has not happened. Why?

Because the track records these robots present are not real gains at all, they have never actually made any real profits – the track records are back tests and that doesn’t mean you will make the same money in real time.

So what’s a back test?

Well it means you get all the closing prices buy and sell where you wish (knowing where the prices settled) and make some profits. Now you can do this and so can my seven year old cousin – but does this mean that going forward, the track record will repeat. Try it and see and get ready for a wipe out of equity.

The problem today is people think that Forex trading is a walk in the park and easy. They believe the slick advertising copy, telling them they can make money with no effort and get an automatic income; this is of course fantasy, not reality.

They don’t think to ask the obvious question – if an automated Forex trading system makes countless thousands in profit per annum – why is it so cheap? The vendor could shut up and make himself rich or take it to a major institution and sell it, for countless millions – but they don’t. Instead they fin naive or greedy traders online who believe the hype instead.

Check any of the heavily advertised robots online and the track records, are aways just paper simulations and paper dollars can’t be spent and are of no use – its real cool, hard crisp dollars made in the market that are important and the hyped robots haven’t made them.

If you want to win at Forex trading forget the hype and the easy profits and get a sound Forex education and win.

With the many FOREX currency systems available, you can in theory, simply turn your computer on and follow the signals to generate automatic profits.

That’s the theory – but the fact is, there are many FOREX currency systems sold that are obvious scams, and the systems will never work.

This article aims to give you tips on picking systems that can make money, and avoid the scams.

There are two main reasons why most FOREX currency trading systems fail to live up to their Hype:

1. Black Box Systems

These are systems where the logic is not revealed to the buyer – and for a FOREX currency trading system to be used successfully, the trader must have confidence in it.

If you don’t know the logic of the system, you will not have the confidence to follow it when a losing period occurs.

You need to follow a system rigidly to make money – otherwise you may as well not have a system in the first place.

Using a FOREX Currency trading system is all about having the discipline to follow the system – and if you don’t have confidence in the logic, you will never do this.

2. Curve Fitting and Optimization

Another indication of a currency trading system that is a scam, is one that involves curve fitting, or optimization.

These systems give a fantastic performance in back testing – because of the tweaking of the system rules, to make them fit the data, and produce profits.

A trader once likened this to shooting holes in a barn door, and then drawing circles around every hole – to make each shot look like a bull’s-eye.

Let’s face it, we would all be millionaires, if we had tomorrow’s news today – but we don’t.

Avoid any system that offers unique rules, or many variations for trading different markets.

If the system is based on solid logic – it should work on ANY trending market, and should not be optimized, or curve fitted to an individual market.

You will never see a hypothetical performance that fails!

Most unscrupulous vendors achieve great performance by making the system fit the data – and this causes the system to fail in real time trading.

Here are four tips, to help you separate out the scams, from the good FOREX currency-trading systems:

1. The Rules and Logic are Fully Explained

You will then have confidence in the system when it suffers a string of consecutive losses.

2. Some Evidence of a Real Time Track Record

Has the system has made money in the real world of trading?

This is the acid test of a system. If there is not a real record, look for a hypothetical audit done in real time – many systems do this before launching, and this gives a good indication of how the system will perform.

3. Look for Simple Systems

There is absolutely no correlation between how complicated a system is, and its profit potential. In fact, simple systems tend to work best, and will tend to be more robust in the brutal world of trading.

Most of the top FOREX currencies trading systems are based on simple logic.

4. Avoid any Optimized System

As already mentioned, if the system has sound principles, and then it should work on a broad spectrum of financial instruments – avoid any system that optimizes individual markets.

Not all FOREX currency trading systems fail – but if you want to get one that works, be realistic and do your homework first.

Building Your Own System

Most traders like the concept of FOREX currency trading systems, but like to have some input to customize the system to their specific personality. If the system offers some human input, it is easier to implement the trading system with rigid discipline – which is the key to building consistent profits.

This article shows you the basic steps of how to trade on FOREX.

We have all heard of the FOREX (currency trading market) but how many realise how easy it is for anyone to trade on FOREX. What many don’t know is that FOREX is the largest and fastest growing financial market place. Daily it turns over more than 2.5 trillion dollars which is 100 times greater than NASDAQ.

You do not have to be a millionaire to trade on FOREX. Anyone can access this 24-hour a day marketplace and invest just 10’s of dollars

Like all markets, FOREX is a place to trade goods, only in this case the good traded is currency and you make money simply by buying a currency and selling it for a profit. You buy one currency with another, wait for the exchange rate to change between the two currencies and then sell. Hopefully the exchange rate has changed in your favour and you make a profit.

However in the FOREX market the fluctuations, which generally average around 1% per day are multiplied by 100. So, if during your trade, the exchange rate changed in your favour by 0.73% the return on your investment would be 73% or on a $500 investment $365 – in just a few hours. 

Now of course, like any market, exchange rates can go one way or the other. So it is possible that you can lose money too, and the same rule applies in that the losses are also multiplied by 100. But, the beauty of the forex market place is that you can never lose more than your margin. You can make unlimited profits, but never lose more then the amount you initially risked and invested.

So

1. Open a FOREX account with an online broker (Google search for FOREX online broker)
2. Choose a pair of currencies – any of the currencies traded on FOREX, yen, Canadian dollars, UK pounds, euros etc.
3. Decide whether you predict the exchange rate between them will go up or down.
4. Determine the volume – the amount you wish to trade with.
5. Deposit your margin – usually 1% of the volume and deposit it using your credit card.
6. Activate your deal – while it is activated you hold an “open position”
7. Monitor the status online and change the parameters of your deal as and when you see fit.
8. You can predetermine some parameters such as a “take profit rate” or “stop loss” which means you do not have to stay glued to your computer and trade with preset safety margins. Your deal will close automatically for you.

Remember this – FOREX is essentially gambling. However with a bit of research you can easily establish enough knowledge to begin trade profitably on FOREX. However- losses are inevitable. The trick is to make sure that you win more than you lose. Also recognise that even when things are going your way, they can reverse for a short time before continuing the trend in your direction.

Would you like to be able to trade forex on autopilot? Would you like to use robot to do the trading for you? To do tasks like finding profitable trades and executing them – even when you sleep?

Well, in the computer and Internet era it\’s relatively easy and almost every week we see a new automated forex trading system being offered to the general public. Some of them cost under $100, but there are also much more expensive programs – with prices in the $2,000 – $10,000 range. However, very often those expensive systems are sold to limited number of traders.

Why are automated forex systems in such high demand, commending such high prices?

The answer is simple; it can be found among the motivating factors for the participants in any market – not only forex, but also stock and commodity trading. I\’m talking here about greed, fear, desire to live pleasant life, etc. Of course, those are rather general motivations, but they really have significant impact on every trader\’s mindset and his or her approach to trading.

Many authors writing on the topic of trading maintain that although fundamentals such as interests rates, CPI, employment data, etc. have significant impact on how the markets move, the psychological aspect of trading is much more important. The markets are moved by the combined belief system of each individual trader (or market participant).

That\’s a very important concept, because it means that each trader\’s desires, hopes, fears, needs, opinions, experience, education, interests, motives, etc. impact the way the trader analyses the available information and makes the trading decisions based on both belief system and the information. Those decisions are about what and when to trade, how much to expect from a trade, how much to risk, when to enter and exit and whether to buy or sell. Those decisions made by each trader are transformed into orders – that\’s how the markets, including forex market, move.

It\’s a very interesting process, isn\’t it? And the implications are far-reaching, because if we accept it, it means that we can\’t consider markets as linear systems that could be analyzed with tools that are based on linear mathematics and statistics. And as so much of the movement of the markets is determined by the psychology of trading, it is obvious that in order to explain that movement, it is necessary to use non-linear systems (models). Also, inter-disciplinary approach is needed, as only in that way it is possible to follow the markets.

With such a powerful tool as a computer, it is possible now to build much more complicated models than those created before the computers became available. Those models and the results of using them are developed by the software programmers into trading systems. There are automated forex trading systems that incorporate breakthrough discoveries from emerging progressive sciences, such as: Quantum Mechanics, Chaos Theory, Fractal Geometry and Wavelet Theory.

Forex market is best suited for such inter-disciplinary approach due to its huge trading volume – many times bigger than that of the stock market and the futures market. When those advanced sciences are used to create trading systems, it results in more accurate and thus more profitable trading signals.

So next time, when looking for an automated system for your forex trading, consider spending extra dollars to purchase a system that employs non-linear theories and tools. Analyses provided by such a system will be much more accurate than those based on out-dated linear theories, which can only tweak historical data to fit the model. And you will get a system that more closely fits your trading style.
