forex trading - the basics of a trade?

Saturday, September 12th, 2009

Trying to understand the very fundamentals of a trade:
1) what am I buying
2) whats the balance of my trading account after a trade.
Only answer if you are a FOREX trader - experts only please.

Is it the case that
a) If I have an FOREX account with USD and I buy AUD, I then have an account with AUD dollars in it?
(a sub question of this is, can I then go on to buy another currency using AUD).
Some time later the market moves, and I buy USD using AUD. I realise a profit/loss based on my new USD balance

OR is it
b) If I have an account with USD and I buy AUD, I then have an account balance with USD:AUD at whatever rate.
Sometime later the market moves and I sell my USD:AUD at a new rate, making a profit/loss.
(A sub question of this is, what currency is the profit/loss in - USD or AUD)

Please do not include in your answer things such as margins, spreads, strategies etc. I can learn about those later, I just want the very basics.

Potentially different companys offer different methods so if you are comfortable doing so, in your answer please specify the company that your are trading with.

Cheers

Sam

A Forex trading account works basically like a stock trading account. If you deposit USD into your account, and buy a certain amount of AUD/USD, it’s still a USD account, but you’re holding AUD/USD as a position.

Your account balance, or equity, will fluctuate up or down (in USD) depending on whether the position moves in your favor, or against you.

I’ll mention margin just briefly, because it’s the most important aspect of Forex trading. If your account allows 100:1 margin, that basically means that you can enter a position that’s 100 times larger than what you’d be able to enter if you had no margin. And therefore, you can gain or lose money 100 times faster.

I highly recommend InterbankFX.com. They’re one of the most reputable Forex brokers in the US. I also recommend going to your local bookstore and reading everything you can about stock and currency trading.

Forex Swing Trading Strategy - A Simple One For Huge Gains Anyone Can Use

Saturday, September 5th, 2009

http://ForexAutopilotSystem.org — Forex Swing Trading Strategy - A Simple One For Huge Gains Anyone Can Use
To master the enclosed swing trading strategy, will only take a week or so and then your all set to start trading it for big regular currency profits - Let’s take a look at it in detail.

Before we look at the strategy, lets review exactly what swing trading is and why it works. Swing trading is simply buying or selling into overbought or oversold currencies.

So why do currencies move to overbought or oversold levels? The answer is simple because humans push prices to far on the upside when greed is present and to far on the downside when fear is present. All short term price spikes either up or down, don’t last long and prices move back to more realistic levels which reflect the long term supply and demand picture.

If you look at any currency chart, you will see this happen and it will always happen, as humans will always be subject to their emotions - but how do you swing trade successfully?

Let’s look at a simple Forex swing trading strategy for success. I have used this strategy with no alternations, for over 20 years and it will always work here it is:

1.Look at your charts for sharp movements either up or down.

2.Check how overbought or oversold the currency is by looking at some momentum indicators and I like the RSI and stochastic. These are visual indicators of price momentum and don’t take long to learn and you can see them on any free chart service.

Let’s look at an example, of a currency that is overbought and how to swing trade it:

1.When the currency moves up sharply look for the momentum indicators to become overbought and wait.

2. As soon as they turn down look to sell and put your stop above resistance.

3. Target an area of fair value on the downside and a great level to look at is the mid average of a Bollinger band

4. Take your profit just above this level and bank it.

In a bear market you would do exactly the opposite.

This strategy is simplicity itself but it works and will continue to work in addition, you will find it easy to use because you don’t need as much discipline as long term trend following, you also get plenty of trades, it’s exciting and fun.

I call swing trading “hit and run trading” and that’s what your doing - getting high odds set ups, hitting them and then banking profits, before the position can turn back on you. If you learn and practice the above strategy for a week or so, you will soon be confident enough to applly it for long term currency trading success.

In Forex is it possible to become a millionaire by always trading the same currency pair such as USD/GBP?

Sunday, August 30th, 2009

I have had a practice Forex account for a few months now and have been experimenting with it in terms of leverage in which I always use 1:25 now, and the currency pair I am familiar with; GBP/USD and have discovered that so far at least, and hopefully always, I keep on making 10%+ profit onto my capital every time I trade using my personal strategy I’ve developed.

I am going to be 18 in a few weeks time and I intend to put in a few hundred to open up a real Forex trading account, and what I’d like to know is if its possible that by always using the same currency pair, if I could become a millionaire all in good time if I keep on making consistent profits as such with the GBP/USD? Has anybody ever only traded 1 currency pair always, and made a million starting with little capital? Has this ever been done before, and is it possible to do?

The correct name of the trading pair is GBP/USD (in case others try to find USD/GBP).

Yes, you can trade just one pair and one pair alone is sufficient to trade. Actually, it is highly recommended to trade one or two pairs rather than several as you can focus much more on learning the personality of the pair.

It is great you are interested in investing at such a young age as you have the time to accumulate a large amount of money. Make sure to make regularly deposits into your account and with your strategy you can see the magic of compounding.

Is it possible to make a good living trading Forex?

Sunday, August 30th, 2009

I am nearly 18, and I have a very strong interest in Forex trading. I have a practice account with FX Express and have discovered some interesting things and techniques that I’ve discovered myself on how to make money.

I’ve developed my own strategy that works everytime I trade so far, and I’m making 10% compounded everyday I place a trade. in fact I want it to be my career. I will open up a live account with real money as soon as I turn aged 18 with maybe a couple of hundred. The only problem is that my mum and step-dad say "You’ll never make a living out of it", or "You’ll lose all your money." What I’d like to know is if its actually possible to make a decent living out of Forex trading and do you or anyone you know currently do this as a day trader. I’d like to prove them wrong.

Yes, it’s possible, but not with a couple of hundred dollars of starting capital. Think about it, for many professional traders, having a 50% profit on the year is considered a good year. If you start of with $200, and make 50% profit, you would have $100 profit. Is $100 enough for you to live off of? Not unless you live in a cave.

However, if you start off with $100,000 capital, and make 50% profit for the year, then you would end up with $50,000. Is that enough to live off of? Probably yes.

Yes, I know $100,000 is a lot of money. But you can start up with $5,000 and work your way up. You are still young. I would get a job and start saving, and on the side, continue to trade and research using a micro account. (Notice how I didn’t say demo account because demo accounts success do not translate to real account success). Anyways, once you know you can be profitable with real money, then you wouldn’t hesitate as much to put in $5000, or $10,000 or whatever you have saved up in your account.

Lots of people make great living as day traders. But it takes time and patience to get there. Hope this helps.

Questions regarding Forex?

Sunday, August 16th, 2009

hi I’m new to forex trading and I just had some technical questions for anyone who has some experience

My first question is regarding margin calls, now say I’m investing a hundred dollars at 100x, what would happen if my losses were more than 100 dollars but I had another 10 000 dollars in my bank account. Could I set it up for the broker to take more money out of my account instead of losing my position?

Another question I had was once again about margin calls. how much money should I leave in my account and not touch to avoid margin calls? If I’m investing with 2000 dollars and I leave 8000 extra in my account could I avoid margin calls?

What currency pair on average has the least fluctuation?

What is the most detailed site that’s not a broker where I can get free analysis, newsfeeds, and good up to date charts?

what’s a good simple strategy? my plan is to start with 1500 and invest with 1000 dollars at ten times leverage and keep adding more to cut my losses
every 8% the value of the currency goes down, I’ll put another 1000 and when they go up I’ll wait till the money is 100 pips over the average to sell. now that’s a beginner strategy which probably has tons of flaws please point them out. Thanks in advance

In my opinion the best way to learn Forex is:
1 - Open a demo account with a broker,
2 - visit free websites like http://www.freeforexebook.org/ and http://www.forextopten.com/ to learn the basics,
3 - practice your skills on the demo account until you’re making consistent profits,
4 - take a course or buy a system that allows you to improve your trading. Read reviews on website like http://www.topforexeducation.com/
