Mini Forex Trading - Small Capital, Lower Risk and Possible Income Potential

If you are desirous of entering the field of forex trading but are held back because of the fear of inadequate capital and insufficient knowledge, mini forex trading accounts may be a possible answer to your pressing need.

As a statistical fact, only about 10% of the traders are consistently profitable in trading. How then can you increases the chances of your being successful as a profitable trader, seeing that you are facing difficulties of capitalisation and skill?

Firstly, you only need a very low capital to trade in forex using a mini forex trading account. In a mini forex trading account, forex brokers are willing to give you a very high margin. The leverage is as high as 200:1. In other words, in the mini forex account, there is a small margin deposit required fixed at $50 for per lot traded. This amounts to a stunning leverage of 200 to 1 (10,000/50 = 200).

By trading mini lots like this, your risk is reduced. Your potential loss is substantially less because of the small capital involved when compared to the normal full trading account.

Secondly, I am sure you have heard the sorrowful tales of those who lost their money trading in forex or stocks and shares or futures and commodities. As only about 10% of forex traders consistently make money, the next question is how can you increase the chances of your success as a mini forex trader?

In trading, APPLIED knowledge is the key to wealth creation.

So your task is to acquire that important knowledge and learn to trade profitably. With the advent of technology and the high speed desktop computers, it is now possible to shorten the learning curve. By finding a mentor who is experienced and successful, you can very quickly clone yourself into the mould of your mentor, following his most profitable trading techniques.

You can now gain years of trading experience by spending weeks on a trade simulator, practising your best selected forex trading strategy under the guidance of your mentor. If that is not enough, you can still reduce the risk further by using a demo account before you start trading.

Coupled with the use of a mini forex trading account, the risk is substantially reduced in trading.

Once you are consistently profitable in your simulated trades and your profitable trades are substantially more than your losing trades, then it is time for you to apply that knowledge and enter the real world of forex trading using a mini forex trading account.

By adopting a proven trading technique from a successful mentor, acquiring the necessary trading experience and skills with a trade simulator and practising on a demo account, you will have the best opportunities to start creating wealth from day one of your trading career as a forex trader.

Forex Daily Market Report 04-16-2007

Weekend Action
Traders were eagerly anticipating the weekend’s G7 meeting, specifically any comments made regarding the Japanese Yen and its continued weakness. The G7’s failure to comment specifically on the Yen’s situation was seen as an indication that there is no planned intervention from any of the world’s major central banks to increase the strength of the Yen against their respective domestic currencies. To add further fuel to this fire (and the strength of EURJPY) Dutch Central Bank Governor Wellink was quoted as saying “a strong euro is in the interest of Europe” which seems to suggest the Eurozone is comfortable with Euro strength against the US Dollar and the Japanese Yen.

Today’s Action
EURJPY continued its recent upward momentum by making new all-time highs. This price action was heavily fuelled by the market commentary as mentioned above. In recent weeks we have seen a return to the popularity of carry trades as speculation increases that the Euro and GBP may benefit from further rate hikes throughout the year while the Yen is unlikely to see any such boost.
Today was also a big day for GBPUSD as it made new 15 year highs. Longer term this move is due to potential BoE rate hikes and the likelihood that the US rate will remain at its current level for some while.

Market Focus
Today’s market focus was centred on UK PPI Input (1.2% mom, 0.9% expected, yoy 0.7%) and PPI Output (0.6% mom, 0.3% expected, yoy 2.9% - highest since June 2006) data. The market saw this as evidence of a likely rate hike during Q2 and spurred GBPUSD up to a high of 1.9940. Later in the day we saw stronger than expected US retail figures (Retail Sales 0.7% vs 0.4% expected, Core Retail Sales 0.8% vs 0.8% expected) however Empire State Manufacturing data was seen as disappointing (3.8 vs 7.5 expected). There was a further set of unexpected data from the US as TICs Capital flow made an unexpected fall to $58.1B vs a forecast number of $80.5B.

In Europe we had EUR CPI slightly up on expectations (0.7% vs 0.6% mom expected, 1.9% yoy) and German CPI in as expected at 0.3% mom.

Tomorrow’s Focus
Tomorrow we will see UK yoy CPI data in the front seat with the core figure attracting special attention during the morning session. Later in the day the US releases its monthly CPI figures.
There will also be Swiss retail sales (yoy), ZEW Economic Sentiment, US Housing Starts US Industrial Production & US Capacity Utilization to keep traders busy. Over the following night New Zealand CPI data will be closely watched.

Good trading to all tomorrow.

Coming Back to a Market

Sometimes a market just seems to become untradable. You start having more losing trades than you would like to have. You find that what you have been doing just doesn’t seem to work any longer. You are bored and frustrated with that market. Although you wait patiently for things to get better, they don’t get any better: in fact, they may become even worse. Finally, in despair, you choose and learn how to trade elsewhere, until your newly chosen market forces you to once again make a choice for a better place to trade.

You decide to take another look at the market you previously left. How will you know when to start trading that market again after taking a so-called “vacation?”

The things I look for are:

·Normal tick size, in the event that what caused me to leave was abnormal tick size.
·More or even less volatility, in case previous volatility was not to my liking.
·Fewer fast market conditions, if fast market conditions were what were previously causing me problems.
·Greater liquidity, if lack of liquidity had become a problem.

·Decent fills with little or no slippage. In a normal market situation, positive slippage should come almost as often as negative slippage, with many fills at exactly my price.
·Less noise, if there was too much of it in the past.

Any of the above or a combination of any of the above will cause me to choose or to leave a market. I know that many traders “marry a market” and try to trade it through both good and bad times. But it has been my experience that looking elsewhere is often a lot better than suffering through the difficult times in any market you choose to trade.

I can recall a time back in August of 1997 when a friend of mine, who was trading the S&P500 at the time, called me up. He was almost in despair. “What’s going on with the ’snp?’ he asked. There’s no order flow.” He was right. The CME was about to cut the contract size in half, and at the same time introduce the e-mini S&P 500. There was much confusion about what it all meant, and the order flow in the “snp” had dried up considerably.

In my own trading I had dropped the contract entirely and was busy trading the bonds and grains. But my friend was frustrated for quite awhile because he was “married” to the S&P 500.

All the best in your trading,

FOREX Advice Should You Buy It? Read This First

Should you by FOREX advice from a guru or mentor?

Many novice traders think they should do this and it’s easy to make money but you need to be very careful of the FOREX advice you buy as, 99% of advice sold on the net won’t give you profits.

Here are some pointers on getting the RIGHT FOREX advice.

If the advice is so good why are they selling it?

Look around the net and you will see lot’s of FOREX advice that promises you instant riches, but consider this:

Most FOREX advice sold relies on sales copy that sounds convincing but the reality does not add up:

When you see FOREX advice sold, the first step is to make sure that the person selling it has a real time track record.

If they haven’t traded it and made money, why on earth would you want to buy it?

Look for a real time track record, which is audited over one or two years.

If they can’t provide this:

Don’t buy it.

There is a vast amount of FOREX advice sold ( mostly by sales people who have never traded in their lives or failed brokers and it won’t make you money) they don’t trade themselves, but what they will give you in the vast majority of cases is:

A hypothetical track record.

Keep in mind - A hypothetical track record is done in hindsight knowing the closing prices!

Of course we can all make money doing this and you will never see one that loses, until you come to trade it!

Also, don’t trust testimonials.

These are normally friends, or someone who has had a lucky trade.

It’s a real time track record you are after.

This may not give you profits in future, but will show you that the vendor at least has confidence in his FOREX advice and that the logic is soundly based.

If you find a system with a track record the next step is to make sure you understand and the methodology suits your trading personality.

You will never follow advice from someone else ( even if it has a great track record ) if you don’t understand the logic it is based upon and can take the losses that occur on any system.

If you understand the logic of the FOREX advice you will be able to follow it with discipline.

Also, check the worst peak to valley drawdown, time to recovery and see if that fits in with your risk tolerance.

There is lots of FOREX Advice you can buy but only a small percentage of it makes money and an even smaller percentage of it will suit your trading personality.

Follow the above tips if you want to buy FOREX advice and make money.

A real time track record is your starting point.

Then, you need to know the logic the FOREX advice is based upon and finally, make sure you can follow it through the inevitable periods of drawdown.

Forex Trend Following - A Key Tool Most Traders Don’t Use but Should

If you want to catch the really big trends there is a key tool for FOREX Trend following that you should use.

If you use this tool then you will have a much better chance of catching and holding the really big trends that can yield the big profits of $10,000 or more.

So here it is:

It’s the weekly chart.

Most traders simply use daily charts but if you are after the big trends the weekly chart is essential.

Why?

Quite simply, because it gives you the big picture of the prevailing long term trend.

You can see the weekly charts on many free chart services

Keep in mind that the long term currency trends last months or even years, as they reflect the underlying health of the economy.

By looking at the weekly chart these trends are clear to see and you can then time your entry via the daily chart.

The best set ups for trading are when support and resistance line up on BOTH charts.

You know then that if they hold or if they are broken they are much more significant than simply points on the daily chart.

So the way to catch the really big trends is to do the following:

Look at the weekly chart for the long term trend, then time your entry on the daily chart by looking for important resistance or support.

Once this is done you need to time your entry.

Don’t simply trade on breaks or holding of support or resistance.

CONFIRMATION

Once you have lined up support and resistance on both the weekly and daily chart you need to watch price momentum.

You want price momentum to either be with you on a break of support or resistance i.e. strong momentum or if you are looking for these levels to hold you want to watch for weakening price momentum.

Use these indicators

1. The stochastic

2. RSI

They are great indicators and discussed in our other articles.

If you use them to see and trade with price momentum, the odds of your trade being successful are dramatically increased.

This METHOD

Will ensure you get in on all the big trends, with the odds on your side and help you make the really big profits.

Online Forex Trading - Why Most Traders Cannot Adopt a Mindset To Win

FOREX trading looks easy yet few succeed.

If you are thinking of trading FOREX then you need to consider the fact 95% of traders lose their equity quickly.

FOREX trading is difficult as it means you have think and act in a totally different way and adopt a different mindset to win.

Here we will outline some of the mistakes novice traders make in adopting the right mindset.

1. Hard work does not guarantee success

In most professions the more you put in the more you get out.

In FOREX trading however this is simply not true, you don’t go paid for effort, you get your reward for making winning trades.

Many people say “knowledge is power”

In FOREX trading the right knowledge is power and this does not mean working hard.

2. Systems have to be complicated

Nothing could be further from the truth.

In today’s world of technological advances that astound us each day, it is tempting to think that we can conquer the markets with science, but trading remains simple.

Simple systems can and do work best, as they are more robust in the face of ever changing brutal market conditions.

Don’t make the mistake of complicating your system.

3. Leave your ego behind

Most people have an ego and none of us want to look stupid, but if you trade you need to accept the market will make you look stupid on numerous occasions.

Be prepared to look and feel stupid, as the market does this to everyone.

4. Taking loses

Related to the above, people hate taking a small loss, after all if they leave it will turn around and they don’t want to look stupid.

In a leveraged market this ends in disaster.

A small lose becomes a big loss, then reaches a stage where a trader faces wipe out and has to take it.

5. You need to have the courage to make big profits.

Surely we all want big gains?

We all do, but:

Most novice traders lack the courage to make big profits..

As soon as they get a profit they get excited and want to take it before it gets away, the bigger it gets the more tempted they get to bank their profit.

Add in the fact, that there are retracements into open equity that play havoc with emtotions when open equity is eaten into and the result is a trader will bank a profit of a couple of thousand and be happy.

If they had the courage of their conviction, in many instances they could make £10, 20,000 or more, by staying with the trade.

Currencies trend for months or years and if you have the courage to trade the major trends you can make huge profits, but you need to follow them.

6. Someone else can give me success

This is the biggest mistake in FOREX Trading and is rooted firmly in human nature.

We feel safe in groups and we are used to consulting an expert on a whole manner of things in life.

In FOREX Trading this is a bad move.

You need to know what you are doing and have total confidence in your own ability, without outside inputs.

Buying an e-book for $100 or so, is not going to make you a winner, neither is agreeing with the majority of so called experts in the media.

Firstly, no one can give you success it has to come from within and you will only be successful if you are confident in something you know will work for you.

Furthermore, the majority are wrong, so why follow them?

Trade in isolation, its not a normal human trait but one that is critical for success in online FOREX trading.

Trading can be lonely, make you look stupid and play havoc with your emotions, but if you can adopt the right mindset, you can and will succeed and the best part is:

If you do the above the rewards are huge.

Forex Trading In The Context Of Modern History

Although currency trading has a long history dating back to the middle ages, it is the changes that we have seen during the twentieth century which have created the Forex market we see today.

During the first half of the twentieth century the British pound was the world’s principal trading currency and was the currency held by many as their main ‘reserve’ currency. As a result, London was also seen as the leading center for foreign exchange. However, the Second World War severely damaged the British economy and so the United States dollar took over as the world’s principle trading and reserve currency and retains that position today. This said, there are now a number of other currencies, principally the Yen and the Euro, which are also seen as reserve currencies.

Since the Second World War there have been a number of events which have proved instrumental in shaping today’s Forex market.

The first was the signing of the Bretton Woods Accord in 1944 which stipulated that the United States, Britain and France would stabilize the world currency markets by pegging the major world trading currencies to the US dollar (which was itself pegged to the price of gold). This in effect meant that if the price of a currency against the US dollar fluctuated by more than one percent the central bank concerned had to intervene and buy or sell the currency in question as necessary to bring it back to within its one percent bracket.

The Bretton Woods Accord also set in motion the establishment of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) which was designed to provide a stable system for buying and selling currencies and to ensure that currency transactions could take place smoothly and in a timely fashion.

In addition, the aim of the IMF was to create a consultative forum to promote international co-operation and to facilitate the growth of world trade, while at the same time breaking down exchange restrictions which hindered international trade.

It was also part of the established role of the IMF to make financial resources available to member states on a temporary basis where this was considered necessary to further the aims of the IMF. Such loans were normally only made on the understanding that the country concerned would make substantial changes to rectify the situation which gave rise to the need for the loan in the first place.

One of the most significant events as far as the Forex market is concerned occurred in 1978 when the IMF proposed that currencies should become ‘free-floating’. In other words, currencies should be traded against one another at a price that was dictated solely by the law of supply and demand and that there should no longer be a requirement to peg currencies to the dollar or for central banks to intervene in currency trading to support the price of a currency. This is not to say that central banks were prevented from intervening if they chose to do so, but merely that such intervention would now be entirely a matter of choice and not a requirement as previously stipulated by the Bretton Woods Accord.

The next major milestone was the establishment of European Monetary System which effectively came into force in 1979. The European Monetary System got off to something of a shaky start when Britain (one of the principle members of the European Community) decided not to join the system and Italy joined only under special arrangements. Britain did however later agree to participate to a limited degree by joining the exchange mechanism of the European Monetary System in 1990.

The final major development to affect the Forex market was the establishment of the Euro as a single currency for European Union member states in 1998 with eleven of the participating states replacing their national currency with the Euro.

Of all these developments it was the free-floating of currencies in 1978 which did more than anything else to boost the growth of the foreign exchange market. In 1978 Forex trading showed a daily turnover of about 5 billion US dollars and this figure rose in the following ten years to reach 600 billion US dollars by 1988. By 1992 this figure had reached 1 trillion US dollars and the figure continued to rise to a level of 1.5 trillion dollars by the turn of the century.

Trading Psychology Management

What trader has not heard the phrase trading psychology? What trader has not viewed, or been told that their trading problems are the result of trading psychology?

What trader does not need trading psychology management, if they are to become a profitable trader?
What an interesting combination of words: trading + psychology. When considered separately by definition, and especially by a ‘non-trader’, these words would appear to have nothing to do with each other. Trading is the buying and selling of an underlying contract through the execution and management of a trading method; psychology is the study of the brain and behavior, which is done in an attempt to help people understand why they feel and think the way they do, and/or help them make changes to their resulting behavior from these feelings and thoughts.

This list includes typically discussed trading psychology issues, but what do any of these have to do with trading by definition?

You don’t take a trade means you have a fear of losing.

You over trade means that you have a fear of missing something.

You don’t take a stop means that you won’t take responsibility.

You hesitate taking a trade means you have a fear of being wrong.

You trade with money that you can’t afford to lose – TILT.

The list comprises psychology issues, which then lead to an emotional response which occurs during trading; these issues do not have anything to do with trading method. These are fears and emotions, which would become a problem to the individual any time that they were ‘tested’ in a performance related activity.

Trading psychology management will involve the realization that any of the emotional problems that you have previously encountered in other stress related circumstances, will absolutely be an issue when trading, but that this is related to the ‘emotional baggage’ that you bring into trading, this is not isolated to trading.

Traders spend so much time searching for that perfect trading system, but they do so little to prepare mentally for trading - WHY is that the case? Two primary reasons for this would be awareness and avoidance.

Trading Psychology Management Awareness

Many people coming into trading have been very successful in past endeavors. If these experiences didn’t involve dealing with stress in a way that the resulting emotions had to be controlled in order to succeed, they now have no reason to know that ultimately trading psychology management will be the determinant in their ability to now be a success at trading. This was my experience when I came into trading, a high performing scholar-athlete through school, and then successful at starting and running two profitable businesses; I just assumed that I would learn how to trade and be very good at it.

It is interesting just how unaware of the realities of emotional impact I actually was. I had only gotten involved in trading because I sold my businesses after my wife’s mother and my father had passed away in a four month period, and I felt the ‘need’ to ‘get away’ and do something different. Coupled with these personal emotions was the ‘influence’ I was receiving from the person that I was learning from - paper trading was for ‘pussies’, just take your trades and manage them.

Absolutely, I was an emotional accident waiting to happen, and the wreck did occur. If you don’t know me, or haven’t heard the rest of my ‘learning to trade’ story before, ask me some time about how I had an office lease terminated because of my continual screaming-cussing outbursts - NOT one of the highlights of my life.

Trading Psychology Management Avoidance

People that have an avoidance issue with emotions, have either encountered them before in previous activities, or they are quickly impacted by them soon after they begin trading. However, they view psychology and emotion as personal weaknesses, therefore they won’t accept that they exist; through avoidance, this group then believes that they have no need for trading psychology management.
Avoidance is not a solution for anything.

It does not matter what the problems are, or in what context that they are encountered, avoiding your problems will NOT make them go away. Ultimately, they are only going to continue to get worse, and IF an eventual solution is ever forthcoming, it will be so with more difficulty and pain than would have been necessary if it was dealt with ‘from the beginning’.

Obviously, everyone would love to go through life, day-to-day and task-to-task, without being confronted with fears and emotions that undermine the ability to perform; it is enough of a challenge to learn the necessary skills without also having to deal with this ‘extra crap’. BUT this is not personal weakness to avoid. The person who can accept the problems honestly, instead of with avoidance and denial, is the person with strength AND the person who has the ability to find solutions for these additional challenges.

Actually, it doesn’t really matter how you ‘feel’ about emotions and what they represent. The reality is that if you are going to trade, you are going to be effected by ‘your’ psychology - this is the only guarantee from trading that anyone will ever receive; this must be understood and accepted from the beginning. Then approach trading with a dual concentration on both method and psychology, developing a trading psychology management plan that is intended to gain control over the emotions brought on by trading, in order to allow focus on trading method evaluation and trading performance.

Trading psychology management provides for progression as a trader by controlling trading psychology through trading method.

The British Pound – A Low Risk High Reward Trading Opportunity

The British Pound will present a trading opportunity next week.

Here we will look at it and how you can trade it for profit

The British Pound Is Testing Resistance

If you pull up a chart (we are using futuresource.com for this example) you will see that prices are trying to test January’s high on the daily chart.

Of course, this resistance will either hold or give way, either way a trading opportunity is presenting itself.

On the chart look at these two indicators:

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the stochastic.

Both are indicating price strength.

The key to this trade is to watch the above indicators as prices test the high.

If the RSI starts to fall (notice how previous moves into the over bought zone have indicated a top) and the stochastic momentum starts to weaken then resistance should hold and the odds favour price falls.

Watch specifically for the stochastic lines to cross to the downside with bearish divergence.

This will give the bears control, as it indicates a weakening of momentum.

The stochastic is simply the best timing tool for entering trades and if you don’t know how it works you should! Check out our other articles.

If prices however can close above the January high, then the bulls are in charge and we have a breakout to the upside.

WAIT FOR CONFIRMATION.

Don’t jump in and try and predict where prices are going to go – Wait for confirmation either of:

SA breakout and close above January’s high (on a close basis) or a weakening of stochastic momentum into the high.

By doing this you will be letting price action tell you which way prices are going to go.

This trade is at critical resistance and you need to let price action indicate which way prices will go and take action accordingly.
