Your Way To A Successful Currency Forex Online Trading Career

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

  

Automation is in the world of Currency Forex Online Trading truly the lazy man’s way of trading the forex. And this is a smart way to do this. You might be wondering why? Because it nearly eliminates the biggest enemy you have to conquer in this process: Yourself!

But be careful, after 6 years of FX Online Trading, I’ve probably been through all the pitfalls that this industry has to offer, which was sometimes a very hard lesson to learn. What can you do if you are not interested in having all these experiences on your own? What are the key factors that make the difference between the 5% (or even less) that make those nice profits month after month and the other 95% who are struggling and burn account after account?

To be successful in a swimming pool of sharks, you must digest and own some key concepts. So here we go:

How to get ahead of the other 95% in Currency Forex Online Trading
The 8 rules on how to become an effective Currency Forex Online Trading Professional

1. If you cannot afford to lose the money you spend on the trade, then don’t do it. You don’t want to sit in front of your computer sweating bullets while you are in a trade. Just say no!

2. At any time, you should not invest more than 3% of the remaining balance of your trading account. The stop/loss you have to have in place must secure this, no matter what.

3. Always begin with a trial or demo account for one month if you are trying out something new. Most  Automated FX Trading Software Systems require a minimum of 3-6 month testing time to get familiar with the software and the trading “habits” of it.

4. Don’t switch to real trading until you’ve seen at least a month of profitable trading. It ought to be a minimum of 20 trade transacations, with greater amounts being best. Don’t forget that these are the minimum requirements.

5. A person should separate a part of the newly earned capital and take it out of the account, after gaining some profits and accumulate the rest of the money. My suggestion would be to take out half of what you’ve gained every month.

6. Keep a trade log. Always write down, or put your trading data in an excel file. Many MT4 brokers already offer their clients these trade log files.

7. Review and critique the trades made with the system. This is among the most crucial aspects of enhancing your comprehension of the automatic trading programs. Systems weaknesses and strengths become more obvious as you notice similiarities in the trading. A very important thing for manual trading also.

8. Adhere to the preceding 7 guidelines. Believe me, this is the hardest part of all. I have seen too many traders losing all their money only because they were not able to follow these simple basic rules.

This is all that is needed in terms of the fundamentals to begin. If you simply pay attention to these simple rules you will do far better than many others who struggle with FX Online Trading. Get your homework done, stick to the basics and you are on your way to the top 5% who are making serious money with fx online trading.

How to find a profitable Automated FX Trading Software?

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

  

You may have heard one of these stories where people tell you that you only have to turn your computer on, login to your trading account, start your trading robot and the money rushes in your account. Does this actually happen in real life, or are we just being fed a line by con men? The individual has thought it to be correct, like every time, and the truth exists somewhere in between.

So what do you have to do to find such a profitable Automated FX Trading Software?
Generally you have to test many systems before you can find one that will bring profits. In addition, it should be profitable over a longer period of time. Please don’t misunderstand me. Of course, everyone claims that theirs is foolproof, and will make you rich, but the truth is something else again. In fact after testing 79 Automated FX Online Trading Systems over the last 3 years myself and losing some of my hard earned money trading them, I can honestly say that 95% of them are pure crap when it comes to ROI (Return Of Investment) and RTR (Risk To Reward Ratio).

The majority of the Automated FX Trading Systems are working based on the Metatrader 4 platform which is very common in the industry. Within the platform, these Forex robots are generally known as “Expert Advisors” (EAs). To make it short, such an EA gives the exact orders to the MT4 platform on how, when and what to trade.

You can find tons of material on that subject on the internet. But I don’t want to overwhelm you with too much info. Let’s move on to the important facts:

The 5 Rules to find an Automated FX Trading Software that really works

1. Software advertising only “Back Test Results” are a sure “no go”. That’s the case, because back test results are only an informational source for programmers to get an idea if their system works in general or not. There are a lot of potential things involved that could make the results false. Every back test result will provide a more profitable outcome than a live trading result.

2. Only rely on the so called “forward trading/testing results”. Forward trading results are just absolute trading results.These are direct tests of the system under actual market conditions, rather than testing with stored data, like back testing.

3. The trader/advertiser needs to a have a live stream of the trades. That way you can follow the trades, get a feeling for the trading methodology and you can look at all trades the EA takes and has taken whenever you want to.

4. The EA/ trading robot should be easy to use with predefined settings with an integrated update service. This is very important, if you don’t want to spend a lifetime optimizing the settings.

A sure guarantee of money back for the Trading Robot. That way you can test it, demo first and if it’s not that good or you can not get it profitable, simply request a refund and you gained some experience but haven’t lost any money.

It’s that simple. If you only look for and follow these simple key rules, you are well ahead of 95% of all other traders out there. And isn’t this exactly what you want?
