Forex is a lucrative industry for all sorts of business.

How Leverage Is Used In Forex?

A good question that I was asked about was 'How Leverage I Used In Forex?'

 I was teaching one my friend who was new to Forex trading last weekend and it was kind of difficult to explain to him because English wasn't his first language.

Even if I was to use English, it would still be difficult to explain it in detail.

Luckily, I found this article from Investopedia which does the job excellently.


“Leverage” in general terms simply means borrowed funds. Leverage is widely used not just to acquire physical assets like real estate or automobiles, but also to trade financial assets such as equities and foreign exchange (“forex”).

Learn Your Forex Trading System, Forex Holy Grail Doesn't Exist!

How many times have you come across a Forex trading product that promises to the 'Forex Holy Grail' causing your imaginations to run wild thinking of all the ways that you are going to spend your money when you earn it using this new forex system?

Yes, this happens to most forex traders out there.

It happen to me too....    :)

But I am here to tell you to stop DREAMING!!!!

Every new forex trader might hop from one forex system to another  in a short time.

This is known as 'System Hopping' and this is normal for new traders.

The question is how long are you going to keep changing your forex system?



Along the way, there will be a realization that the Holy Grail doesn’t exist. The best you will be able to find or create will be a system that has great consistency.

Your system will have a decent win-loss ratio.

This win-loss ratio can refer to the number of trades or the number of pips.

 Some good systems (most good systems) will have a higher number of wins than losses.

A few systems will have many small losses and a few large wins that make up for the losses and then some.

Either way, your good system, will enable you to come out ahead over a certain period of time. A 65% win and 35% loss ratio is great!

Once you have gone on your Forex trading system search, you will finally settle on a system that you like and feel comfortable with.

This might be a system you created or bought, or a mixture of the two. Whatever the case, you have your system, now it’s time to get to know this system inside and out.

You want to learn how your system performs in every market condition. You want to learn what kind of win-loss ratio your system has.

You want to know what kind of losing streaks your system has and what kind of winning streaks it has.

These kind of discoveries will be uncovered initially in back-testing your system.

You will do this by scrolling the charts backwards and then seeing all the trades  you could have taken, paying close attention to the losers as well as the winners.

You can do this by simply seeing the trades as they have happened.

This will give you some confidence in your trading system.

Next, you will want to not only scroll backwards in time, but move forward one candle at a time, not seeing what the next candles are.

This kind of back-testing gives you confidence in your trading system, you will need this confidence when you are trading live.

You want to be able to trust your trading system. This is critically important because your system will be giving you signals to take trades when the future is uncertain.

Stop the system hopping and devote some good time to learning one system.

One decent system when traded consistently will make you money, system hopping will never ever make you money in any kind of long term way.


Yours sincerely,

Good Forex Traders Are Traders That Manages Their Loss


In forex trading, it is impossible to win 100% of the time.

A good forex trader is not a trader that wins the most of the time but the ones that are good in managing their losses.

When you are actively trading in forex, you will eventually hit a losing trade but if you do not manage your risk well, you will end up blowing up your account.

Take the recent 2000+ pips drop in the Swiss Franc for example, many forex traders out there took a massive hit and many have their account went into 'negative'.

Of course, some may be a problem with the forex broker but again, it comes to the knowledge and importance of managing your risk.

So here is something for you thought:



 Memorize it!

“A good trader isn’t the trader who doesn’t lose, a good trader is the trader who can successfully manage those losses”.

I was talking to a fellow trader this evening, and we talked a lot about the emotional, trade, and risk management aspects of trading.

What it all boils down to is how 90% of traders don’t get these aspects under their belt.

They fight it to some degree.

If it doesn’t have anything to do with the actual system, it’s not worth talking about. This is a costly point of view, it will make you unsuccessful as a trader.

This is why 90% of traders fail and not easy to find a successful forex trader.

The 10% that do manage to embrace it are the few that do succeed. YOU are going to be among the successful few!

It’s important to know that losing a trade is no reflection on you as a trader, it happens to ALL traders. It doesn’t mean you can’t trade and it doesn’t mean you failed , just do it again and don't forget Money Management and learn more about Price Action Trading.

It’s how you manage these losing trades that makes you a good or bad trader.

If you lose a trade due to not trading the system, you might be a poor trader.

If you lose a trade because you jumped the gun, you might be a poor trader.

If you move your stop loss and end up with a large loss, you might be a poor trader.

If you trade based on emotions, you might be a poor forex trader.

You are none of these. You manage your trades.

You take your losses in stride.

The system dictates your trade management and you follow it.

Your losses are never large, never more than the allotted risk.

You understand that losses happen and you don’t let it get you down, you keep trading.


Yours sincerely,

Forex Morning Trade System

Here is another Forex trading system that I came across and i would like to share it.

It is called " Forex Morning Trade"




The name of the system is self- explanatory.

It is  Forex system that traders can use in the morning... meaning at the beginning of an average trading say..

Here is what the creator of the system has to say:

'My Forex Morning Trade System has proven to be a very successful system for me, and I am confident that after you finish reading this manual and practice trading it for few days, you too will be ready to start making real money successfully in the Forex market.  
 
Before taking you through the system step by step, I will give you a short overview of the Forex Morning Trade System. 
The system is relatively simple to learn and to use; it is throughoutly tested and gives very good and stabile results. In fact, I had almost no loosing month for the last 20 months. 
It is ideal for busy people, because trading the system won't take you more than 5 or 10 minutes a day. Really, this time is enough to check for the trading signals and set up the trade. 
Your trading day will look as follows: 

 At 5:30am (GMT time) you look at the charting platform and decide if you'll open the trade (more on the rules later) 

 If the conditions are met, you'll simply place a trade and walk away. That's all. You don't need to sit in front of the screen, monitoring your positions. The trade will either hit profit target or stop loss automatically.  

The only “drawback” of the system is that you have to get up at 5:30 GMT time, but we always have to sacrifice something to be successful in life, right? '



Here is a video of the system in action


You can download the system here:

LOSS


From the chart, you can see that the price went in our direction but it did not hit the Take Profit (green line).

Same thing happen with this trade, price went and hit the Stop Loss before moving into our direction.

LOSS


Today's signal are not profitable and this may be due to the fact that the Non-Farm payroll is to be released. 

Traditionally, forex traders is not advised to trade during this time but this definitely shows you hoe this forex signal can perform under these circumstances.


To conclude,

I received entered 9 trades from the signals that they provided and won 5

So that is around 55.5%

The thing is, they provide more than 9 signals for me throughout the 7 day trial period but I only managed to take 9..

I their website, they mentioned that they system  has a winning % of 60% +++

So, it is really hard to judge them...

I guess you just have to try them out to find out the answer.


Yours sincerely,

2015-01-05 22:01:04Mike N.
