Liscense to Print Millions

Most novice traders like to use Forex day trading systems to keep risk low and scalp small regular profits. Here we will look in more depth at Forex day trading systems…

I have worked in investment houses where floor traders made a lot of money day trading sometimes millions per annum, as they had an advantage of having the news quicker and could react quicker than the retail traders.

With the rise of the internet this advantage as disappeared, as we all have the information at the click of a mouse and no one has an advantage and this has meant Forex day trading doesn’t work.

We will show you a better short term method of trading that works later but lets first look at the facts of why you will lose money in daily time frames.

The problem today is that if you try and day trade, you are simply trading within the daily range and trying to use support and resistance levels that are not valid, you can’t get the odds on your side and you will lose.

There are a lot of systems sold online which tell you they make money scalping profits on a regular basis but they don’t work in real time!

These systems are based on back tested results knowing the closing prices and all fail in real time. Most are sold by marketing companies not traders and the past results never repeat.

If you think about day trading the aim of predicting where prices may go in minutes or hours is impossible, here’s why.

You have millions upon millions of traders, all with different systems, aims, various levels of skill and a huge percentage who respond to their emotions. This vast mass of people is not logical and trying to work out where prices will go in the short term, is impossible and you will never win.

Lots of people will tell you markets move to some higher form or science and can be predicted but it’s obvious they don’t. Because if they did, we would all know the price in advance and there would be no market.

The myth that retail traders win long term with Forex day trading systems is just that – a myth.

Winning at Forex Trading

Forex trading is all about trading the odds and you can’t get the odds on your side in such short term time frames. If you want to trade short term and get the odds on your side then try Forex swing trading.

Swing trading is still short term but the time frame of a few days to about a week allows you to get the odds on your side and that’s what you need to do to win at Forex.

So forget Forex day trading systems and look at swing trading, its simple to learn, exciting and you can get the odds on your side and win. Check this method of trading and you will be on the road to currency trading success.

It is without doubt that the off-exchange foreign currency market (known as the forex market or spot forex market) has been one of the most popular markets over the last few years.  There has been an explosion of forex activity as managers have flocked to this strategy.  There are many reasons why managers have decided to trade the forex markets including the following: (1) the forex markets are the most liquid markets in the world; (2) the forex markets trade twenty four hours a day, six days of the week; (3) managers have access to a large amount of leverage (sometimes up to 400:1); and (4) there has been relatively little oversight and regulation of the forex markets at the federal or state levels.  

Background on forex regulations

The popularity of the forex strategy has attracted many frauds hoping to make a quick buck off of unsuspecting investors.  The frequency and audacity of these frauds have caught the eyes of regulators who have been trying to regulate forex managers, even without Congressional authorization.  This power struggle led to a few seminal court decisions which upheld the rights of forex managers to remain unregulated.  After lobbying by the regulatory bodies, Congress acted by including a forex registration requirement to the Farm Bill passed in early 2008. 

The forex registration requirement in the Farm Bill requires the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to promulgate rules that implement the framework for forex registration.  As of early January 2009 the CFTC had not yet promulgated draft versions of the rule.  It is expected that the CFTC will release the draft versions of the rules sometime during the first quarter of 2009.  After the rules have been proposed, there will be a comment period before they would be finalized. 

What the forex registration rules will be?

While we do not yet know what the forex registration rules will look like, we do know a few things.  There is likely to be a regulatory exam requirement.  The National Futures Association (NFA), which is the self regulatory organization which would be in charge of implementing many of the forex registration rules, has stated that the new exam would be called the Series 34 exam.  The NFA has also requested that forex managers be required to pass the Series 3 exam.   The NFA has proposed that new registration categories be implemented.  These categories would include: Forex Commodity Pool Operator (CPO), Forex Commodity Trading Advisor (CTA), Forex Introducing Broker (IB) and Forex Associated Person (AP).

Forex Registration Procedures

The forex registration proceedures are likely to be the same as those currently in place for regular commodity pool operators and commodity trading advisors.  It is likely that forex associated persons will need to take a new regulatory exam which is called the Series 34 exam.  After the associated persons take the exam they will need to retain an attorney or compliance professional to take them through the NFA registration process.

Conclusion

Forex registration is something that the CFTC and the NFA have wanted for a long time.  While registration will be a bit of a hassel for some forex managers, an experienced attorney will be able to held these managers register as quickly as possible.

Most traders use a FOREX broker to handle their transactions. What exactly are brokers? Strictly speaking, brokers are individuals or companies that buy and sell orders according the investor’s decisions. Brokers earn money by charging a commission or a fee for their services.

FOREX brokers need to be associated with a large financial institution such as a bank in order to provide the funds necessary for margin trading. In the United States a broker should be registered as a Futures Commission Merchant (FCM) with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) as protection against fraud and abusive trade practices.

Before trading FOREX you need to set up an account with a FOREX broker.

You may feel overwhelmed by the number of brokers who offer their services online. Deciding on a broker requires a little bit of research on your part, but the time spent will give you insight into the services that are available and fees charged by various brokers. The best advertising is word-of-mouth advertising, and this is just as valid in FOREX trading as it is for any other type of business. Talk to friends and associates to see who they are dealing with and find if they have any complaints or difficulties in dealing with a particular broker.Learn more at http://www.forexpower.net

You could try selecting a few online brokers and contact their Internet help desks to see how quickly they respond to enquiries and whether or not they answer questions to your satisfaction. Keep in mind, however, that pre-sales service may be better than after sales service. This can be true for any online business, not just FOREX brokers.

Customer satisfaction and safety are just part of the story. You want to find a broker who executes orders quickly and with minimum slippage. All online brokers should offer automatic execution and have clear policies regarding slippage. They should be able to tell you how much slippage can be expected in both normal and fast-moving markets.Learn more at http://www.forexpower.net

Next you want to know the fees involved. What is the spread? Is spread fixed or variable according to the type of account? Are mini accounts subject to wider spreads? Are there any other charges? Smaller spreads mean more profit for the trader, but there may be a trade-off between spread and service. Look at the overall picture before deciding to go with a particular broker.
Margin accounts are the lifeblood of FOREX trading, so be sure you understand the broker’s margin terms before setting up an account. You need to know the margin requirements and how margin is calculated. Does margin change according to the currency traded? Is it the same every day of the week? Some brokers may offer different margins for mini and standard accounts.

Trading software is very important for the online FOREX trader. Get a feel for the options that are available by trying out a demo account at a few online brokers. Above all, you are looking for reliability and the ability to perform well in fast-moving markets. The software should offer automatic trading and may have special features such as trailing stops and trading from the chart. Some features may only be available at an extra cost, so be sure you understand what your trading needs are and how much the broker charges to provide them.

Other information to find out about includes the broker’s policy regarding minimum account balances, interest payments on account balances, which currencies can be traded and whether or not non-standard sized lots can be traded. You should also find out whether clients’ funds are insured and the extent of that insurance.

Many people think that having a good Forex trading system is enough to win but its only part of the equation for success. To win you must be able to deal with the major problem enclosed which causes the demise of most traders. Let’s look at it in more detail…

Picking the direction of a trend is relatively easy, getting in on it and dealing with volatility is the bog problem.

You need to deal with volatility, so you can place your trade and have your stop in such a place, that a volatile price movement doesn’t take you out. It happens all the time, a trader places a trade, he then gets stopped out and the trade goes back the way he thought, piling up thousands or tens of thousands in profit and he’s not in!

Here are some ways to get in your trades, with the best risk to reward and not get stopped out to soon.

1. Never Day Trade or Scalp

All volatility is random in hourly and daily periods and you are going to lose as you cannot get the odds on your side. You see lots of vendors selling day trading and scalping systems with track records but there all simulated backwards! You will lose, so don’t try it.

2. Be Patient

Most traders lack the patience to wait for the big high odds moves but keep in mind you don’t get rewarded for trading often you get rewarded for being right. Here are some high odds set ups to look for.

3. Getting in on New Trends

Trade breakouts to new chart highs or lows that have been tested a few times, all new big trends start and continue from breakouts and there is a huge advantage in trading them. You are trading the reality of price change and on these high odds breakouts volatility may be high – but it’s on your side, if you buy or sell the break and your stop is tight under the breakout point.

4. Getting in on Existing trends

Prices get overbought and oversold and re trace and if you want to know the value area, look at how strong trends always provide a low risk entry point around the 20 day moving average. It works and is the ideal place to look to enter a trend in motion.

5. Using High Volatility to Your Advantage

It’s a fact you can trade with low risk when volatility is high, as short term price spikes never last and they can be the end of a trend or in an existing trend.

The key is to watch for exhaustion of the move via momentum indicators and wait for momentum to drop then trade it with a tight stop. With this method you have a great risk to reward.

Trade to Win

These are just 5 points to keep in mind which if you learn them and make them part of your Forex education can help you deal with volatility and get some great risk reward entry points.
