Forex Mentor Review - How Good is Peter Bain's Course?

By Jon Ferraro

Forex Mentor is a course created by a very respected trader in the forex community named Peter Bain. Peter has thrown everything but the kitchen sink in his forex mentor course. He goes over all the education and information that he has learned in his 10+ years of trading the forex market. He leaves no stone unturned.

He makes sure that no matter if you are experienced or a complete novice to the world of forex, he takes you by the hand in a simple and accessible way, and shows the ropes of what it takes to succeed and trade full time trading forex.

He doesn't believe in using lagging indicators like 99% of the trading systems that are out on the market. His methods focus specifically on using price action, such as finding key support and resistance lines and use them as leading indicators.

This may seem strange to many people who hang out in forex forums and follow the latest trading system that was just devised by one of its members, only to hang it up in a weeks time.

Peter Bain wanted to make sure that Forex Mentor wasn't going to be like that. He makes sure you never fall behind the course as he gives you daily trading examples, (part of the membership) so you can tell exactly how well you are progressing in the course. Frankly, it's one of the most respected courses that is available in the marketplace, as many users regarded it as having an incredible reputation.

Forex Autopilot Review - Is it Really the Holy Grail?

By Jon Ferraro

I know that every forex trader must have come across the sales page for forex autopilot, by now. You see the figures that they are showing and all the money that they claim it makes. You are either like one of two people when you see this. Either you are the kind of person that says, this is garbage. I'm not going to waste my money on this. Or you are the kind of person that is drooling over your keyboard and getting ready to pull your credit card out. So which one is right?

Well, here is the real truth about forex autopilot. You will not become a millionaire by using it. You will not be able to buy a mansion in Hawaii with the money you make from it. BUT, when you compare apples to apples, its a pretty darn good trading robot.

You have to look at this from a realist's point of view. The truth is the vast majority of people who trade forex lose money. So how could a trading robot like forex autopilot make you a millionaire. It's just not possible. Once you realize that, you can judge it on its own merits.

The truth is with a proper money management technique, forex autopilot should be able to earn you 50-100% return within a year. I could imagine all the disappointed people reading that last sentence. I'm sure they thought that it would give them that much of a return in a month. But if you compare how the majority of traders fail at forex, you should realize what an impressive return that actually is.

Make a Living Trading Forex

By J. Star

Yes, it is possible. With the right Forex education and training, a large enough Forex trading account, and the discipline to stick with a Forex trading system, anyone can make a significant living Forex day trading.

So how does one go about getting started in Forex you may ask? I have included below some simple steps towards trading Forex full-time.

1) Learn Forex Trading - This may sound obvious but it is the first and one of the more difficult steps. Unlike most professions, there are no "accredited" Forex schools to my knowledge to teach you how to specifically trade the Forex market. There are, however, Forex training courses online. However, many of these "learn Forex on your own" courses are written by individuals who don't know much more about Forex than your novice Forex trader. Others are written by Forex Brokers with a financial interest in seeing you lose (Google: "five types of forex brokers" to understand what I mean). It is difficult, but not impossible to find a reliable source for quality Forex education. Do your research. Compare multiple education alternatives and choose someone who has your best interest in mind.

2) Practice, Practice, Practice - When I was a kid, my Mom decided she wanted me to play the Piano. I was forced to attend weekly lessons and then asked to practice 15 minutes per day between lessons. This was extraordinarily embarrassing for the sport-enthusiast boy that I was and so I vowed not to practice. Well, for two years I went to every Piano lesson because I was forced to but rarely if ever practiced because I was only asked to. Over 100 lessons and nearly $3000 later my Mom gave up. In spite of the many lessons I attended, because I never practiced, I was never able to play the Piano. So it is with Forex (or anything for that matter). Learn EVERYTHING you can about Forex and then practice what you learn. One of the great things about Forex is that anyone, free of charge, can open Demo trading accounts and practice. Practice your trading system. Practice money management techniques. Practice order entry and exit techniques. Practice until you are profitable. Practice until you are ready.

3) Do NOT over leverage - Never risk more than a couple percent of your total account size. I personally rarely risk more than 2% of my total account and usually risk less than 1%. One pitfall many ambitious Forex traders fall into is the urge to "go big". They want to trade for a living but only have $5000 to start. So instead of being smart and trading that $5000 until it has grown big enough to where their monthly profits are sufficient to go full-time, they take huge risks per trade starting out in hopes of hitting it big upfront. In Forex, the tortoise ALWAYS beats the hare. Don't over leverage your account.

4) Master the art of Emotion-Free Trading - You do not become a disciplined trader overnight. Emotion-free trading/investing requires confidence, persistence, practice, and constant learning. Do not go full-time until you are a master of Emotion-Free trading.

5) Develop a plan and stick with it - Your trade plan is your road map to Forex success. Build your own Forex Trading System, learn it, practice it, and then stick with it. Your plan WILL lose and it WILL win. Do not give up after a couple losses and never go live until you are completely confident in your plan. Do not go full-time until you have a trading plan that you are confident can last for the long-term.

How a Forex Managed Account Works

By J. Star

With financial markets across the world experiencing record losses and the Real Estate market in shambles, many investors are looking for alternate asset classes to invest their money in. Spot Forex (the exchange of foreign currency) has become a very attractive alternative. The market is open twenty four hours a day, is VERY liquid with almost $3 trillion traded daily, allows for much higher leverage than other markets (100:1 or more), and is possible to make money in no matter what direction it moves. However, it also has its risks. The higher leverage may mean the Forex trader can make money faster but it also means that same trader can lose money faster. The market is also relatively unregulated making it a haven for thousands of Forex scammers looking to make a quick buck off the unsuspecting Forex beginner. The Forex managed account is one option the Forex investor can turn to as a way to limit the risk in Forex.

So, how does a Forex Managed Account work?

1) The investor opens a Forex account at a Forex brokerage house of his/her choice. A Forex broker facilitates the Forex transactions between buyers and sellers. There are different types of brokers and it would be wise of the potential Forex investor to research the different types of Forex brokers and choose the one that best fits his/her investment objectives. The broker account that the investor opens is owned and controlled 100% by the investor him/herself. All investor funds deposited into that account are held by the Forex brokerage where the account was established.

2) The Investor then finds an experienced, honest, Forex Account Manager and authorizes that company (via a Limited Power of Attorney) to make trades on the investor's Forex account. The Forex broker typically must approve the Limited Power of Attorney .This Limited Power of Attorney can be revoked at anytime and trading stopped immediately.

3)The investor authorizes the Forex broker to pay a percentage (performance fee) of new profits on investor's account to the Forex Account Manager at the end of each month as compensation.New profits are profits made above the previous high watermark of the account. Some Account Managers, in rare cases, also charge a yearly management fee which is usually a percentage of the total balance of the account.

4) The investor is given total access to view and monitor his/her account. Remember that the Forex account is owned solely by the investor. With legitimate Forex Managed Accounts, the Account Manager should NEVER be given access beyond the role of executing trades (trading) on the investor account.

5) It is the investor's responsibility to determine his/her own risk appetite and what he/she considers "max drawdown". When researching Account Managers, it would be wise of the Investor to ask the Account Manager what they expect maximum drawdown to be. However, it is ultimately up to the investor to determine at what point he/she wants to "pull the plug". At anytime, the investor can stop all trading on the account and fire the Account Manager.

6) The Client may withdraw profits at anytime. In fact, it is important to take out some profits on a regular basis. This point should be discussed with the Forex Account Manager. Some Forex Trading System's require that funds are only withdrawn at certain times of day or at certain points in the week so as not to adversely affect trading.

Forex Tools No Trader Should Ever Trade Without

By J. Star

The Forex trader is an artisan of sorts. He must craft a series of trades using the tools at his disposal to build a profitable masterpiece. This process is no easier than painting a beautiful landscape or sculpting a human figure. Nor does this process require any less skill or are the tools used any less important than those required of a world renowned architect.

I have discussed in previous articles the skills that must be acquired by the Forex trader in order to be successful over the long-term. In this article I turn to the tools used by successful Forex traders all over the world. I will avoid disclosing the companies that make any specific tool so as not to turn this into an advertisement for some.

1) Your Brain - Sounds cliché but it is true. Your brain is your number one tool. You must continually fill it with new ideas that can help you improve your Forex Trading. You must educate it so as to recall points even in the heat of the trade. You must trust it when it tells you to do something even when your emotions disagree.

2) Research Materials - What does this mean? Research materials may include everything from the first lesson you took on Forex and the concepts you learned there to the piece you read this morning from your favorite economic analyst. Read EVERYTHING you can to help you improve. Keep them well organized and easily accessible for when you want to consult them. Get access to news articles, market analysis, Cot reports, Forex Lessons, Forex tips, etc.

3) Forex Mentor - For the novice and intermediate Forex trader, having a mentor is crucial. This person may be someone you interact with personally or may be a Forex author you read and follow. You may join a Trade Room and interact with other Forex traders finding a mentor their. Having someone to emulate will help you. Don't become this person - but learn from his/her strengths and weaknesses and improve on them.

4) Forex Trading Platform - Find a platform you like and learn it forwards and backwards. Practice it as you would a musical instrument and come to feel totally comfortable with it's interface and commands. There are many platforms available in the Forex world, some exclusive to one broker or another. Make sure to research the brokers that use a particular platform and be sure you are as comfortable with the broker's business practices as you are with their platform.

5) Trading Indicators - Your trading indicators may be mathematical algorithms that forecast what a currency may do next or specific events that ,when they occur, indicate a trade action. Study the many indicators available and narrow them down to a few that you feel most comfortable with.

6) Forex Trading System - Next to a trader's brain, this is the most important tool in the Trader's arsenal. In fact, you could consider the Trading System to be the brain of the trade itself. The rules of the system determine the actions taken by the trader. Some traders use a system with strict rules that they never vary from. Other traders trade with the philosophy that rules of a trading system were "meant to be broken". The type of trading system a Forex trader settles in with depends on the trading personality, discipline, and style of the trader him/herself.

Review of Hector Trader Forex Trading Course

By Hugh Kimura

I am always looking to learn from people who trade for a living. There are always at least one or two things that I can learn from each person that will make me a better trader. I just went through the Hector Trader Forex Trading Course and this is what I thought of it.

Hector is a full-time Forex Trader. I found his website by searching for different blogs related to Forex Trading. My first impression of his blog was that it was very clean and his videos were professional.

When I first started listening to the free online videos on his blog, his accent really turned me off. However, the information was practical and to the point so I kept listening. What I really like about him is that he does not go off on tangents. He sticks to analyzing the charts and does it thoroughly but efficiently.

After awhile his accent grew on me. I am probably wrong about this but it seems like Spanish might be his first language and he speaks English with a British accent as a second language. I especially like his "double-oh" catch phrase.

So I signed up for his course and as soon as I logged into the website, all I could say was WOW! There are a ton of videos on there and I can log in any time and take the course at my own speed.

His trading technique is actually pretty simple, which is good. It seems like the most successful systems are simple. Just because it is simple, doesn't make it easy. Every trading system takes work and practice to master and the videos take you through numerous real life scenarios that can help you master the system. Like any other strategy, I would recommend back testing it first.

In addition to the videos, the written course material is easy to understand and to the point. Trading literature can be really dry but he injects his own brand of humor into the material, making it very easy to read.

He also includes Metatrader indicators that he uses with his system with the course so you don't have to search the internet or hire a programmer to create them!

One of the many things I learned from the Hector Trader Forex Trading Course was to wait for price to retest a level after a break. That will put you in a much lower risk position than if you took the original breakout. I have already used this one tip effectively in three of my last winning trades.

If you are worried about the price, it is very affordable and within the reach of almost any aspiring trader. It is a great place to start or continue your education and I highly recommend it.

Choosing the Right Managed Forex Account

By Gene Onweller

Before choosing which managed Forex account is for you, you must first ask yourself a few key questions:

How much money do I have to invest?: Some managed Forex accounts require tens of thousands of dollars as an initial investment. You need to find a managed account that can accommodate your personal investment size.

What is my risk tolerance?: Before you invest in a managed forex account, you must know your risk tolerance, and have it clearly defined. Are you looking for an investment vehicle that is a low return safe haven for your money? Are you looking for moderate risk with the slightly higher reward that comes with it? Perhaps you want to speculate and treat your grubstake as a high risk investment with the hope of really cashing in if the market goes your way.

What managed account matches my initial investment and risk tolerance?: The third step, now, is to find what managed Forex accounts meets your needs as an investor. You need to really do your homework. Search the web for different managed Forex accounts, until you find one that suits your needs. Look at the company's monthly gains. Are they consistent in their gains, or are they incurring negative months? Are they having huge monthly drawdowns?

Or are the drawdowns very moderate and controlled? These things will help clue you in to how well a company should do. Other things to take into consideration is the cost of the program. Does the company charge large commissions on gains? Or are they right around 30% (the industry average.) Do they charge an annual management fee? Do they charge a per-pip fee?


Bull Flag Asset Management LLC is a low to moderate risk Forex investment vehicle with truly superior gains. From August through October, as the stock market was crashing and people were losing tens of thousands of dollars, Bull Flag Asset Management LLC posted over 20% gains every single month to gross just under 74% gross compounded gains!

So, if you only have $250 to invest, and if you're looking for a low to moderate risk investment vehicle that yields truly superior gains, check out http://www.bullflag.biz/.

Good luck on your search! And happy investing!

Forex Trading - To Trade Or Not to Trade?

By Danielle Franklin

The economic history is twisting, mutating and breaking down. Global financial system is at crisis and the government is the worse source to trust with an advice. This is my call to all forex traders. We have to understand what global recession will do to us, since volatility has been intense and this is only the beginning. The strategies that used to work before are breaking into thousand pieces. Things are changing in forex trading market and we have to adopt in order to ensure our economical survival, which highly depends on the risk management.

Global crisis has turned forex trading into the battle of gladiators. The bad news is that the danger is on every corner. The good news is that a crisis like that brings up profit opportunities. The question is how to get to it.

We are all trying to find out how to benefit from the market today. Some hope that things will return to "normal", others see profits in the current trends of market direction. After all, the lack of confidence has not been repaired as promised and markets keep falling further down.

During economic crisis we are all suffering should we, forex traders, wait until the storm cools down and play the "normal" market via demo account? Should we quit forex trading for a while? Is it possible to profit in the market that doesn't follow any rules?

The crisis will not go away within days or month. It will take considerable amount of time for the whole world to stand up on its feet again. Some counties might never even wake up from this coma, while others will struggle and manage to come out of this mess first.

Things are changing rapidly and the option of having more than 1 credit card with negative balance will no longer be. Imagine a world where a loan of 5K is almost impossible to get. Imagine a world with highest unemployment rate and no salary on time (in a good case scenario). Imagine a world of regression... Wait a second, why to imagine when it happens almost every 10 years!!

Let's face it, forex traders. The trends are down on most markets despite the volatility. I personally enter forex trading with my own version of wave trading! Speaking of forex trading, it is the only safe investment out there these days. This is the only way to get cash right here, right now.

In my opinion, don't quit trading yet! Here are the rules of forex trading today:

  1. Deposit less and withdraw every chance you have (just to be on the save side)

  2. Reduce the lot size (no need to go crazy right now)

  3. Demo trade until you are absolutely sure that you got it!

  4. Enter the real market, otherwise you won't learn a thing.

  5. ever give up, never surrender!

How to Choose the Best Auto Forex System Trading Software

By Chris Cronje

An Auto Forex system trading can be a great way to increase your profits, but choosing the right auto Forex system for your needs can be difficult. In this article we look at some of the things to consider and what to avoid when buying an auto Forex system. When evaluating an automated Forex system, the following 2 important things should be considered:

1. Backtesting Results

Most auto Forex systems available today run on the Metatrader Forex trading platform, which includes a very helpful tool for backtesting called the "Strategy Tester". Using the strategy tester, the system can be tested against historical data in order to see how the it would have performed in the past. The strategy tester report gives you a detailed breakdown of all the trades, as well as various other performance indicators that show how successful the system was during the test. These backtesting reports are often published on product sales pages in order to show off how successful the system could be, but if you look past the hype you can also learn a lot about the auto Forex system itself.

The backtesting report shows a lot of interesting statistics like the number trades performed, the winning versus losing trade percentages and an equity graph showing how the the initial investment grew. One of the important values to look at is the maximal drawdown - this shows the maximum loss that was incurred during the testing period. The higher the maximal drawdown, the bigger the risk for you as the trader. Aim for a maximal drawdown of 15% or less. While a high percentage of winning trades is an important factor, it is more important to see a smooth, upward equity graph that has no large drawdowns or periods of volatility. The number of trades performed in testing could also be important. Some auto Forex systems trade 5 times a day, while others trade twice a week. Make sure you select a system that suits your trading style and personality.

2. User Feedback

If the backtesting report of an automated Forex system shows promise, then the next step is to look for feedback from customers who actually use the product under current market conditions. However, because of the fact that Forex programs usually pay referral fees, it is not so easy to find honest feedback. The internet is full of false reviews and fake trading results so you need to be aware of this and take everything you read with a pinch of salt.

How to Use Automatic Forex Trading Systems For Consistent Profits

By Brian Philips

The Forex market is changing lives on a daily basis. Some people have gotten into trading currency online and have managed to do pretty good for themselves while at the same time others have wiped out their entire accounts in a single day. There is such a large learning curve when it comes to trading currency and when you couple that with the fact that all too often people let their gut instinct and human emotions get in the way, Forex trading can be a risky venture. This is the reason more and more traders everyday are turning to the various automatic Forex trading systems that are currently available.

These automatic Forex trading systems take the guess work out of day to day trading thanks to the advanced mathematics and trend signaling coding developed into each one. They are able to base trades on logic rather than emotion and often require no human interaction at all for them to run 24 hours a day. By removing the two major causes of Forex failures; human emotion and lack of knowledge, people are able to increase their profit potential while at the same time reducing their risks.

Of course this does not mean that there are no more risks involved with Forex trading as there will always be risks. Even the best program can make a mistake and cause losses, but that same program also may have a very good drawdown rate to prevent your account from being wiped out in a single day. Trends are not always predictable and no matter how good the program is, you can still lose money. The important thing to remember though is that as long as you take the time to thoroughly research all of the available products out there before making your final decision, you can even further reduce the risk of losses.

Keep an eye out for the fine print. Look for words like simulated or hindsight results as these are not based on actual testing. The automatic Forex trading systems which list their potential this way are only telling you that the vendor or the developer does not trust their own product enough to use real money. This will knock out more than 90% of the programs leaving you only the elite to narrow down.


Regardless of which softwares you choose, it is good idea to use Automatic Forex Trading Systems to help make some profits while learning the ropes.

However not all softwares are equal. The best way to get started is to read Forex Robots reviews. For a list of reviews, CLICK HERE

Success Tips When Dealing With the Forex Market

By Bob Cotter

If you've never heard of Forex, you might want to invest some time into researching what it is. Basically, the Forex market is non-stop market dealing with money that involves currencies of different nations. These currencies are traded, usually with the help of Forex brokers. With this market, foreign currencies are consistently bought and sold on a local and global market. The Forex traders' investments change depending on currency movements. The Forex market is constantly changing, simply because market conditions depend on real-time events and anything that happens is sure to affect currency.

The biggest attractions of Forex trading are the fact that there is a 24-hour, 5 days a week trading that is always non-stop. Anyone across the globe can get access to a Forex dealer. Another attraction is that the market is changing constantly which provides great profit opportunities. Forex trading also offers ways to control risk exposure as well as the ability to profit in any type of market. No matter if the Forex trading market is falling or rising, it is always possible to make money.

When dealing with Forex trading, there are a few mistakes that seem to be very common among Forex traders. Here are the most common errors that you should try to avoid:

1. If possible, stay away from the market during day trading. Because the market changes so much due to outside influences, it is best to wait until the day trading is over to get involved. You have a higher risk of losing proposition during day trading.

2. It is also important to avoid guessing when dealing with the Forex market. It is not easy to predict what the market is going to do. This is a bad thing to do simply because falling into this trap will put you in the mindset that you know what is going to happen; however, trading currency is something that cannot be guessed upon.

3. Don't trade with money that if you lose it, you cannot afford. The money that you trade with should not be part of your personal budget. Because the market is ever-changing, there are times when Forex traders do actions out of panic and losing money leads to more panic.

4. If you buy a currency for a low rate, do not attempt to sell it high. Though this might work in the normal equity market, it is no the way to take when dealing with the Forex market. If you do this, you have to predict when highs or lows will come about. The best way to deal with this market is to buy breaks when chances increase. If you notice that there is a trend, try it.

5. If you are new to trading with Forex, do not do it without help. Since the Forex market is very different from the normal market, you should start off dealing with the Forex market with a practice account. It is also important to get help from someone who has used the market. If you don't know anyone, find a reliable Forex trading market program that has been proven to work successfully.

Standard Deviation of Price and the Forex Market

By Bob Cotter

When dealing with the Forex market, it is very important to understand standard deviation of price. If you want to be success in the Forex market and you want to win at trading, understanding this concept is very important. Surprisingly, few Forex traders have ever heard of standard deviation of price, and even if they have heard of it, many do not understand how it works.

Understanding the standard deviation of price allows traders to have an increase in Forex profits. If you understand this concept, you will be able to come into the Forex market and have a head start. You will be ahead of the many Forex traders who are not doing as well as they could with the market.

What exactly is the standard deviation of price?

The standard deviation of price is a term that provides information about the volatility of prices in the Forex market, or any market to be more exact. This term can be applied to any type of market that deals with investments. From bonds, to shares and to commodities, the standard deviation of price becomes very important.

The concept is able to give the view of how closing prices, also known as widely values, are given off and dispersed from the common price. In this case, dispersion is said to be the difference that exists between the closing price and the mean closing price. Dealing with these two prices, the bigger the standard deviation price is between the two, the higher the standard deviation of the Forex market is.

If you find that the standard deviation is high, it indicates the changing of prices in the market. If closing prices do not have a big difference from average mean prices, the standard deviation is much less, as is the markets volatility.

High standard deviation values happen when prices in the Forex market are very volatile. On the other hand, low standard deviation values occur when the range of the market is tight and stable, and prices are continuously fluctuating.

How is standard deviation calculated?

The calculation of this term is pretty easy to understand. Firstly, you have to take the square root of the average of the squared deviations from the mean. If you don't understand this, don't worry because it's not as complicated as it reads. Today, there are a lot of visual indicators that can help you to understand the calculation.

When and how to utilize standard deviation to make money

When you notice that short term price spikes occur and during this time they become very volatile, it is usually a reflection of the emotions going on around the world. When people are looking for things, some get really greedy. Fortunately, these spikes are short-lived and are temporary. Prices usually fall back to a reasonable value soon after. To make money with this concept, just remember that supply and demand + investor perception = price. If you can remember this, you will never lose out on the Forex market.

  • Stop-loss technology, programing designed to cease trading when your current markets are performing poorly; may be overridden but will ensure your EA does not make poor trades

  • Advanced algorithms to determine trades, analyzing current trends as well as historical trends to choose exactly when to buy and sell to maximize profits. A sort of automated market speculation that far surpasses that of even the most professional foreign exchange investors

  • Easy to use interfaces, you no longer need to be a computer whiz, or even a forex expert to figure out how to run these programs

  • User set variables, you may make these programs trade in the manner you see fit

  • Great bonuses, most all programs now include bonuses like free demo accounts with fake money to practice, broker accounts with most MT4 brokers to start with free cash up to $100, free additional software such as trend calculation software

If you ever thought of getting into forex trading but didn't know enough, are tired of middlemen/brokers, or failed before but know there is money to be made and want an easier way to make it then a forex EA may be for you.

Get Rich With the Automated Forex Trading System

By Richard U. Olson

Foreign exchange, aka Forex, is a worldwide technological phenomenon in financial trading. Essentially Forex trading is defined by the exchange of one type of currency for another.

Incredibly, $3 trillion dollars are invested daily in the Forex market. Forex trading differs from the stock market in that investors must bid on scale and there are greater differences in the lower investment rankings. Anyone from multi-national financial conglomerates to the layman can bid and profit within Forex but naturally the highest financial rankings belong to the superpowers.

Of course, the higher ranks of trading in the Forex market are almost entirely reserved for big financial corporations like international banks. They offer the smallest difference for the bid you make and the price they are asked for. The smaller firms occupy the next few levels. These firms trade in small amounts and thus have less of an influence on the real rates as compared to the big financial corporations. These are followed by the central banks.

These banks concern themselves with manipulating real cash flow and controlling price inflation and other related measures. These central banks make use of foreign exchange as reserve funds. The hedge funds follow the central banks in this hierarchy and subsequently succeeded by the investment management funds. These operate at the level of mutual funds in the stock market.

Bottoming out in the pyramid are retail Forex traders, who participate indirectly in investing, and independent traders who rely heavily upon market trends rather than holding any market influence.

Several traders rely heavily upon Forex trading in order to predict financial trends and minimize losses. The software tracks market trends and enables investors to make informed decisions. Forex auto-trading is a smart move in preventing unpredictability in the foreign investment market.

In Forex trading it requires the ability to multi-task by following market trends while simultaneously maintaining continual market surveillance. Greater security and continual, 24-hour access make online trading especially appealing.

For traders in constant motion Forex trading can be done via mobile phones, an incredible boon in foreign exchange investing.

Current technology enhances trading options particularly when done via Forex auto-trading. Global trading through a laptop computer via internet connection is all that is needed for ongoing financial investing.

The Truth About Automated Forex Trading Systems

By J. Star

You have probably heard of Automated Forex Trading. The claims of a Forex computer program making you thousands each day without having to even lift a finger. Is it too good to be true? Does a system like this actually exist. The answer isn't as simple as 'Yes' or 'No' - the answer is "it depends". Ok, so "it depends" doesn't work for you. I get it. You want to know, what is the hype all about? Let me tell you.

When you see a company advertising an "Automated Forex Trading" system they are most likely advertising an "expert advisor". An "expert advisor" is a program, written by a Forex trader, to execute trades on the Metatrader Forex trade platform according to certain trade rules established by the trader.

Most traders use these "expert advisors" but to varying degrees. One of the partners in our group programs expert advisors for our company. We use our expert advisors to manage trade algorithms that require faster than human calculations. Some traders use them to manage 100% of their trading activity while others may only use them to enter trades or may not use them at all. These expert advisors provide a huge advantage by turning some of the more difficult aspects of trading over to a computer that can calculate and process much faster than a human ever could dream of.

There are problems with automated Forex trading though. The most obvious being that computers have glitches and technology is never perfect. Turning your hard earned money over to a computer to manage is a scary thought. Also, there can often exist bugs in the code of an expert advisor that can only be discovered by trading the program. If the person selling the expert advisor has not done sufficient testing to establish the problems you may be left with an expensive error.

The claim made by the promoters of automated trading systems that you never have to do anything other than "turn it on" is misleading and reckless to say the least. Forex markets are ALWAYS changing and a Forex Trading System that worked yesterday may require adjustments to be profitable today. Expert advisors have built in options to allow you to adjust these trade parameters to meet the changing markets. But what happens if the purchaser of an automated trading program doesn't understand what moves the Forex market or why a specific expert advisor works in the first place.

If you are considering buying an automated Forex trading program but have never traded Forex, DON'T. You will lose your money. However, if you understand what moves the Forex market and know how to trade on your own without a computer program - an automated Forex trading program can be a valuable tool in your trading arsenal.

By J. Star

If have been considering learning to trade Forex but don't know where to start - this Beginner's Guide to Forex should help.

1) Find a Forex Education Provider - A wise friend once taught me, the difference between gambling and investing is EDUCATION. Learn everything you can about Forex. Learn what makes the market move and how to anticipate those moves. Find a reliable Education source with your best interest in mind. Start learning, and never stop.

2) Find a Forex Broker - There are literally hundreds of Forex brokers and many are NOT worth your time. Forex brokers come in all shapes and sizes. The Forex broker you choose should depending on your Forex Trading Strategy, your place of legal residence, and your risk appetite. Research everything you can about Forex brokers. Find a source that will teach you the difference between the brokers and help you choose the RIGHT broker for you.

3) Find a Forex Trading System - This is actually easier than you may think. There are plenty of profitable systems available for free on line. Ask around and you will soon find one that fits your trading personality.

Forex Vs Stocks

By J. Star

Let me first say admit that I am biased. I make a living trading Forex and so I have obviously already made the choice of Forex over stocks. However, I am asked on a regular basis, "why Forex over stocks?". Let me take a few moments and explain why I chose to trade the foreign currency exchange market over the stock market.

1) Leverage - Unlike the stock market, in Forex the investor can leverage his investment much farther. The typical Forex trader trades at a leverage of 100:1. So for every $1 dollar he invests into the market he is able to trade $100. This high leverage can be a double-edge sword though. While the Forex trader can make money faster, he can also lose it faster. I chose Forex because I can make money faster using higher leverage. You must decide if higher leverage /higher risk is appealing to you.

2) 24 hour Market - Retail Forex Brokers are open 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. That means that you can make money round the clock. This also allows the trader to use different strategies depending on the time of day. However, this also can be a bad thing. A 24 hour market has a tendency to overwork the Forex Trader. Without the proper discipline the Forex trader can turn into a workaholic. I chose Forex because of the opportunity to make money even while I was asleep.

3) Largest Financial Market in the World - The Forex market is, by far, the largest Financial market in the world. Analysts estimate that nearly $3 trillion in daily volume trades through the Forex market, this compares to just $25 billion daily at the NYSE. Having such high volume means no specific individual, company, or even government can control one currency over another. I have friends who are convinced the stock market is "rigged". And while I don't know that to be true. I do know that, because of the huge volume going through the Forex market and the millions of daily players trading the market, that the chance the deck is stacked against me is much less.

4) Make Money in both directions - There is no such thing as a Bullish or Bearish Forex market. There are Bullish currencies and bearish currencies, but every trade is taken by buying one currency against another. This means that the Forex trader always has the opportunity to trade in a profitable direction.

5) Low Transaction Costs - In Forex, the cost of getting in and out of the market is fairly low depending on the currency pair being traded. This low 'spread' cost means that I am not immediately no far in the whole when I enter the market.

6) Free Practice Accounts, Market Analysis, Charts, etc. - Most brokers provide free charting, market analysis, news, as well as a practice account to learn before you trade. This makes getting into Forex trading very inexpensive.

7) Start trading with as little as $250 - Now, I don't recommend that anyone start trading until they have at least $1000. However, the fact that anyone can start with as little as $250 depending on the broker makes getting into Forex is extremely easy.

Forex Trading Traps - How You Can Avoid These 4 Top Frauds in Forex Trading

By Daniel S.

Forex brokers should be registered with the Futures Commission Merchant (FCM) as well as regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and a NFA member. The CFTC and NFA were made to protect the public against fraud, manipulation, and abusive trade practices. Never make a check or bank wire payable to anyone other that a FCM registered with the NFA.

1. Doing Research: It is most important to thoroughly research Forex trading, and any companies you may be thinking of trading forex with, before making any kind of investments. Be sure to check out any claims made by a company, and make sure they are indeed members of one of these organizations, before even thinking of dealing with them. Some people just park their hard-earned cash with some forex trading organizations without first doing research on that company. It is a risk.

2. Stay Away From Promises That Sound Too Good to Be True: Those Get-rich-quick schemes, including those involving forex trading, tend to be frauds. There is no easy way of learning how to trade forex and earn consistent profits everytime. Always remember that there is no such thing as a "free lunch.", you will really need to spend some time to learn forex basics. Some big investors invest with a large amount of funds, which are never to be seen again if deposited with those schemes.

3. Avoid Any Forex Company that Assures You Large Profits: Be extremely wary of those forex trading companies that guarantee profits. Nobody can offer sure guarantees where currency trading is concerned. In many cases, those claims are false. Learn to trade forex by yourself with a forex trading guide or ebook will be good enough, then slowly make your way up. The following are examples of statements that are most likely are fraudulent:

"Guaranteed to make a ROI of 40-50% within few days."

"You will reach a million dollars fast in forex trading."

"Make $5000 in forex trading every week!"

"You don't have to learn how to trade forex, it's all automated."

"You will never lose again in forex trading."

4. Avoid promises with little or zero risk trading: The guarantee of risk-free forex trading is another fraudulent claim. The fact that more than 90% of people failed in forex trading means there are risks in losing. the currency market is not the place to put any funds that you cannot afford to lose. No can will know how the markets will be performing in the future. Therefore, it's either low risk or high risk trading, and NOT NO risk! Anyone who suggests that forex trading is risk-free is likely to be a liar or fraudster.

For those new in forex trading, you will find the contents in my free ebook very useful as there is free forex trading system for you. And for advanced traders, you will also find value added stuffs inside the ebook, so try not to be attracted to those claims which can make you a lot of money, learning and trading by yourself is the best.


The good news is I'm giving access to my 56-page "Forex Trading To Riches" free for now. Here's your chance to learn more ways to be a successful forex trader and discover a time tested, proven trading system.

Forex Opportunity - Exploiting Uncertain and Volatile Markets

By Brad Nivek

Forex Opportunity exists even in times of financial uncertainty, but only when you know how to exploit the opportunity and take advantage of the market in uncertain times. The majority of Forex training programs will not teach you to be able to exploit opportunities in volatile markets and will not help you identify live trading opportunities.

The average Forex investor will move with the market and can almost become predictable. Professional Forex traders expect this and they exploit the opportunities presented to them on a daily basis. This ensures they gain a healthy profit by understanding the expected market movement before trading sessions open. In a sense, it isn't only about currency movement but is also about predicting human behavior.

Automated Forex systems exist that predict currency price movements based on historical data. However, during volatile trading sessions you need to be able to understand the predictions likely to be made by the automated trading robot and human traders to be able to know when to use it and when to manually intervene in trading. Simply put, you need full control over setting the stop-loss figure and the take-profit figure to maximize your opportunities.

Average day traders may not fully understand every aspect of trading in these uncertain times and quickly find themselves signing up to every Forex trading course on the market. The problem with this is the fact that most Forex training programs are designed to be teaching the basic trading elements in times of stability in the market. There are very few courses available that give live trading opportunities to members - a critical aspect needed during volatile trading sessions.

Instead of wasting countless hours trying to understand the market yourself when it is more volatile, it may be best to sign up for a training course that actually provides live trading opportunities from a Forex professional. There are very few such courses available, but the Forex Brotherhood is one such course I found to give all members the opportunity to place the same trades as a veteran trader.


If you have already tried several training programs and are still no more educated on trading in volatile markets perhaps checking out http://www.forex-brotherhood.co.uk will help give you the opportunity to become a successful Forex trader.

If a training program isn't for you, perhaps checking out some of the automated Forex robots available at http://www.forex-tracer.co.uk/forex-robots.html can help you become a successful trader.

Forex Trading Course Online

By Alex Cadens

Taking a forex trading course online is an essential step in ensuring your trading operation will continue to grow and make you a bit wealthier everyday. As you might already know, forex trading is one of the most profitable investment options available to anyone looking for a decent return. Nowadays there are a few automated softwares which allow you to carry out your forex trading operation with almost no action on your part, in fact, I personally use two of these systems in my forex trading operation with very satisfactory results.

However, as much as these softwares are usually over 90% accurate, there will come a day when they place a losing trade -or a trade that looks like one- and this is where fear and panic will come to play a catastrophic role if you have no idea about what is going on before your eyes. Why? Well, because if you do not know how to read the market you will probably rush into closing a trade for a loss, instead of waiting patiently for a correction. Taking a forex trading course online will give you the awareness you need to make informed decisions when the situation calls for it.

The forex market is very unique, and unlike the stock market, it is always profitable no matter what the crisis in the world, as the currency pairs are always on the move opening windows for profitable trades. If you carry out your forex trading operation with a software, taking a trading course online will certainly increase your profits, and if you trade or intend to trade manually, a forex trading course is simply a must.


In this website there is a comprehensive evaluation of two forex softwares and one trading course which I personally consider the best around: http://www.specialonlinebusinessreviewauthority.com

Using Forex Accounts to Build Wealth

By Rick Williamson

One of the best and world's leading ways to build capital is in the forex market. Forex trading has become very popular to trade in the global market place. This is a market that is opened 24 hours a day and is the most liquid market in the world. With the advancement in technology, individuals can now trade the forex with small amounts of capital which was impossible in past times. Using your forex accounts, trading is done weekdays and you can trade anywhere at any time throughout the world. With forex trading you place a bet that one currency will decrease or increase against other currency.

Forex accounts provide you the ability to trade in the forex market. Other accounts are forex demo accounts and these should be free. If any forex broker tries to change you for one just say no thank you and search for another broker. Most demo accounts will work for 30 days. Some forex brokers may let you to use your account more than that time period. While, other brokers will discontinue your account as soon as the time period is finished.

Forex brokers offer these demo forex accounts to people so that they get to know about forex trading and use their services. When you open your account, your broker will contact you and collect some specific information about you. They may call you to see how you are doing with your account and see if they can help you open a live account. Keep in mind that brokers are paid commission when you are using live accounts and don't get paid with the forex practice account.

Our advice is to use the forex practice account until you become familiar with the strategies of trading and are comfortable trading within the currency market. It is not a good thing to fund your live account without using the practice account. The practice account helps you to understand the rules and strategies of trading.

Managed forex accounts can help some people who don't have the time to look after an account. An expert will look after watching the account and do the trading for you. The people who are managers take their work seriously as it is a very competitive field. Many people have other types of investments such as stocks so it could be hard to watch them all.

Most people who trade in the currency market use some kind of automation to assist in trading. It is very hard to trade without using technical analysis software. There are many on the market and a search of the internet will bring up many to research. Check out forums and chat rooms to find peoples opinions on which ever software you are looking at.

Within the currency market there is a chance to make a lot of money. There is risk involved and you can loose money also. My advice is to get proper training so you can become a consistent winner as you trade forex. Find the training you can understand.It doesn't have to be hard or complicated.

Forex Autopilot System - Minimal Human Input, Maximum Computer Output

By Richard U. Olson

Say hello to Forex automated trading and goodbye to the cumbersome, old-fashioned means of trading and foreign investing. Do you remember the old way of trading with its continual need for manual input, academic knowledge and technical know-how? Thankfully, those days are over and never to return.

Quite simply, automated trading means minimal human input and maximum computer output.

Spending hours and days at a time in front of a computer screen is not an optimal or desirable way to conduct foreign exchange trading, or Forex. Fortunately, the need for a simpler and more advanced means of Forex automated trading was acknowledged and finally resolved by computer experts.

Even medical health issues are eliminated with automated trading. Due to continual computer usage, traders have long complained of eye strain and back problems, among other concerns.

Health and time investment is zero. The only investment required is financial and afterward the Forex robot software system conducts all necessary trading and investing on a continual, 24-hour basis. Just as importantly, there are no hidden fees or costs and some automated trading systems even include a money-back return in the event that the user is not satisfied with the purchase.

Word to the wise, make certain to do your homework and know which product you need and with whom you are dealing. Always seek out a reputable company with a reasonably wide array of products and services.

A lot of the software available on the market might look very similar to you at first. However, not all of these programs are created equal; some are far better than others and many offer different sets of features. Some have better algorithms which they work on - reviews can help you to make this evaluation; be sure to look for software which comes with a money back guarantee in the event that you are unsatisfied with the performance of the program.

An amateur, small-time trader may think that this investment of a sophisticated automated Forex trading system is for the professionals. This is because of the wrong perception that the software is costly and also the need to have some trading skills. Forex robot software trading system can now be purchased at an affordable price and it also does rely upon trader skill in order to realize and maximize financial gain. The automated Forex trading system is especially important to the novice traders who usually could only monitor their trading in intervals and would like to let it handle the rest.

Why a Forex Trading Tool Improves Human Trading by 900%

Kelly Formula - The Traders Money Management

By Paijo Lopez

So who was Kelly? How did he get a money-management formula named after him? John L. Kelly presented his idea as a system for betting on fixed horse races. In Kelly's analysis, the smart gambler should be interested in compound return on capital. The gambler's optimal policy is to maximize the expected logarithm of wealth. Though an aggressive policy, this offers important downside protection. Since log(0) is negative infinity, the ideal Kelly gambler never accepts even a small risk of losing everything.

He came with the famous Kelly % = W - (1-W)/R where:

* Kelly % = percentage of capital to be put into a single trade

* W = Historical winning percentage of a trading system

* R = Historical Average Win/Loss ratio

It is a formula for calculating how much to bet. It assumes that your objective is long term capital growth. The handicapper's choice of money management strategy is similar to the stock market choice between growth stocks and income stocks. Growth stocks tend to be more volatile, but in the long term return more profit. That is because the profits from growth stocks are reinvested rather than skimmed off.

The formula has come to be simply known as the Kelly formula and it was great inspiration to great trend traders and systems traders. They were inspired directly by Bell Labs research to develop systems centered around determining the optimal bet size or known as money management. Every reinvestment is a calculated risk. Therefore, income stocks tend to fluctuate in value less, but also return less profit in the long term. Kelly betting is for capital growth by reinvests the profits.
