I have been a trader for 25 years and the forex robots sold online make me laugh. For 100 bucks or so, you are supposed to be able to generate an income for life. The reality is most will wipe you out and do it quickly, here’s why…
The bulk of forex robots sold, place heavy emphasis on the fact they have a simulated track record that makes money, well if I have all the closes and can simply make up a track record, I would be very rich. Of course in the real world, you don’t get this advantage.
Where is the Proof of Profitability?
So you have a tool that claims to make money but never has hardly inspires confidence does it and its offering you financial freedom for life for the price of a good night out, doesn’t add up to me.
They don’t Work Because…
The track records are not just track records though – there exceptional and beat many of the fund managers I know on hundreds of thousands or millions a year.
So why hasn’t the bank sacked them all and put a robot in there place?
If you have understood what I have read so far you will understand why, they don’t work in the hard, real world of trading.
There are some forex robots that work but there not the ones you see heavily advertised with hyped copy of guaranteed profits.
Get the Right Education and Win
Of course you can make money forex trading and a lot of money – but a cheap forex robot, with no evidence of success won’t do it for you.
They all have vicious, confrontational names like there going to take on the market and win but they don’t, they get smashed.
If you want to win at forex trading get the right forex education, be realistic and keep your feet on the ground.
No other investment gives you such huge profit potential for the effort you put in but you have to work to make money, just like you do in most areas of life.
Leave the forex robots to the dreamers and greedy traders and get the right forex education and get on the road to success.

What are the rewards of Forex investing over any other types of investments? When thinking about a variety of investments, there is one investment opportunity that really stands out and that is The Forex or Foreign Currency Market. The advantages of forex trading are as follows:
1.The Forex market is open 24 hours, 7 days a week around the clock. This is the opposite of stock markets.
2. Investments usually require a lot of upfront money, with forex trading you only need a very minute amount. Learn to trade the forex will cost you less than $300.00. For $300 dollars you can create small account that will let you trade numerous amounts of 10,000 units. 10,000 units equal 1 contract and each pip which is a move up or down in the currency pair is worth a $1 no matter if it’s a gain or loss. A standard account gives you control over 100,000 units of currency and a pip is worth $10.
3. The Forex market is also very liquid which is why the forex system is amazing. Forex trading education will suite you well in this situation.
4. Many other types of investments require investing your hard earned money for a long long time. This is extremely ghastly because if you need to use any of your money you will pay a huge penalty.on your money for long periods of time.
5. Forex traders can be profitable in any conditions and unlike stock markets because you do not need stock prices to rise in order to take a profit. Forex traders can make a profit at any point in time no matter how the economy is doing. Forex Trading can be uncertain, but with having the ability to have a high-quality system to follow, good quality money supervision skills, and having self discipline, learn to trade the forexc an be a fairly low risk venture.
6. The Forex market can be traded at any time and from anywhere. All you need is access to the internet and a computer, nowadays you can trade over your cell phone! It is so simple and so worth any investment. There are many forex online trading systems and forex ebooks out there on the internet which some will give you a free coarse and a “mock” trading system which will be almost like the real thing but for play money just so you can get a feel on how currency trading works exactly. Don’t be shy, the internet has so many courses to learn at such as the forex trading robot, you just need to be carefuel when you choose one to purchase for real hard earned money. Once you learn the forex trading system the sky is the absolute limit. There is no telling how much money you could make and how soon you could be doing this for a permanent living. You wanted to work from home right? Oh with forex trading you do not need to travel 2 hours a day and work a 9-5 dead end job your whole life. In whatever you decide to do, I wish you the best of luck!

Did the News Profiteer Forex news trading system by Henry Liu really make a 126% return on capital in just 3 short months? Apparently, this is what Henry claims that his news trading system has done, but it seemed really hard to believe at first. As every Forex trader would know, Forex brokers typically widen their spreads during news release times, making it hard for news traders to profit from any price movements. This made me even more curious to find out about the News Profiteer System.
1. How Do You Trade The Forex News Releases Profitably?
As Henry puts it, if a trader can anticipate the fundamentals of the market, he or she will own the market. After testing his system for over a month and trading with the methods and currency pairs listed in his guide, I have found this theory to be quite true. The timing of the trade must be right though in order to avoid getting caught during the widening of spreads.
2. Why Do Forex Brokers Hate News Traders So Much?
When news are being released, there will be much fewer bids in the market. To execute your order, your broker may need to take all the risk by accepting your position. Thus, any gain that you make from any price movement will be your broker’s loss. Thus brokers typically widen their spreads to protect themselves.
3. Is News Profiteer Worth The Money?
This system will give you the knowledge and a proven system to make money again and again whenever news reports are released. The value of this knowledge has been very well worth the cost for me, and I highly recommend it to any Forex trader who is interested to learn how to make money with FX fundamentals.

The simple forex money management tips enclosed will help you increase gains dramatically. Many forex traders don’t make big gains, simply because they don’t understand the relationship between profits and volatility…
Prices move in trends up or down and this is obvious from any forex chart but within the major trends you have constant fluctuations or volatility. You need to learn how to set your stops to stay with the longer term trends and not be clipped out to early.
Let’s look at some basic errors most forex traders make in terms of risk control:
1. They Try and Trade Random Moves
Day traders and forex scalpers try and do this but all volatility within a day is random and there destined to lose and may as well flip a coin. They think risk is small and it is but the chances of getting stopped out are huge.
Understand this – there is no correlation between how often your forex trading system trades and your profits. In fact the contrary is true; if you trade too often you take low odds trades and lose.
2. Trailing Stops To Soon
Look at any forex chart and you will see the big trends last for weeks, months or years but how many traders stay with them? Not many – why?
Because they are so obsessed with protecting their profit as it emerges, they move their stop up to soon and get stopped out.
What happens next?
The trade goes the way they thought and piles up $10,000 or more and their not in!
It takes courage to accept big gains and stay with a trade, when open equity dips occur – but if your forex trading strategy says stay with the trend, don’t be tempted to move stops up or take profit.
Here are some simple solutions and were not going to talk about initial stop placement, that’s easy – the hard part is what follows and that’s trailing stops.
1. Remember the 80 – 20% rule
This simply states that 80% of your results come from 20% of your actions, it’s applicable in all areas of life and it’s applicable in forex trading and means:
Cut your trading frequency!
I know traders who trade may less than a dozen times a year, yet make triple digit profits, by being patient and simply waiting for the big high odds trades and you should to.
2. Don’t Diversify
You hear all about how it reduces risk but it reduces gains too.
If you have a high odds trade you think looks great, why dilute its profit potential with a marginal trade?
Stick with one trade and increase the amount of money you risk.
You hear a lot about risking 2% per trade but if you do that you won’t make much, risk 10% or more.
Risk goes with reward and you need to take bigger calculated risks, at the right time to make big profits.
This is not being rash this is being a successful speculator.
If you don’t like risk and a challenge don’t trade forex.
3. Trail Stops OUTSIDE Of random volatility
Wait for the trend to get in motion then trail your stop behind random volatility and give your trade room to breathe.
If you have the stop to close you will never catch the big trends.
We like to do our stops in line with key chart support and the 40 day MA.
Sure, we give a bit back at the end but you don’t know when a trend is going to end and this method will get you more than 50% of major trends and if you do that consistently you will make a lot of money.
A Simple Way to Boost Profits
So there are your simple forex money management tips and there easy to do.
If you incorporate them in your forex trading strategy, you will trade only high odds set ups and stay with the big trends for longer.
Placing a stop at the start of the trade is easy, knowing how and where to trail it is the hard part.
Learn how to do the above correctly and make the tips an essential part of your forex trading education and if you do, you will enjoy better market timing and enjoy currency trading success.

Online forex trading attracts thousands of investors daily and almost every forex broker offers bonuses for new traders. There are different types of bonuses being awarded to online traders and therefore before you grab what appears to be the most generous forex broker bonus available, it is your responsibility to understand the difference between the vast selection of offers and promotions before deciding to accept one.
First of all, let’s figure out why forex brokers would actually offer bonuses in the first place. Just like any other business, each forex broker tries its best to attract new traders and rewards the existing members. When your cable gives you a free movie once a month, or when your cell phone company offers you a family package deal, forex brokers give away actual cash bonuses in order to tempt you to begin trading with real money and become a regular trader. Forex brokers’ bonus giveaways are usually very generous, especially on your first deposit.
The rule of thumb – “Nothing comes for free”. Keep this in mind while reading on.
One way to understand the bonus system better is to treat is as marketing promotions offered in the form of free money as a way for online brokers to attract you to their websites and give you a taste of a real trading.
Before we get deep into the different types of bonuses, let me explain the general requirements behind free cash. “Wagering”, the term known in online gambling industry, is usually a part of forex bonus terms and conditions. It is also the one issue where disagreements may arise.
Here are some terms and conditions you might encounter while considering a bonus:
You must buy or sell at least 10 mini lots in real-money account for each unit of $25 bonus granted by your forex broker before you can withdraw the bonus. One mini lot stands for 10,000 currency units you choose to buy or sell. For example, a $25 trade at X400 means that you have traded 10,000 currency units (25×400=10,000).
You will not be able to withdraw the bonus until it is redeemed. It will remain in your account balance.
Abusing bonus offers is not allowed. Bonuses are given per account, person, household and/or any environment where computers are shared.
I have to repeat myself over and over again – make sure you read these terms and conditions thoroughly because every broker has different requirements.
Once we have covered the “WHY”, let’s move on to “WHICH”.
There are different types of bonuses available. One of the most common one is referred to as a “Welcome Bonus” and it is awarded to you once you make an initial deposit with a selected broker. This is the way forex broker is thanking you for becoming a member and trading forex at its platform.
To keep you coming back, brokers will gladly reward you with what is called “Loyalty Bonuses”. Perhaps you might receive a free cash bonus monthly, or sometimes it is possible to contact the online support and request a bonus. One thing for sure, with the increase of competition between forex brokers, you can expect more bonuses and promotions offers coming your way.
Another type of forex bonus is the most likable among beginners – “No Deposit Bonus”. This one is the simplest and usually the smallest of all the bonuses. All you have to do to receive “No Deposit Bonus” is to sign up for a real player account at the broker offering this promotion and you will receive the free cash. There is no need to make a deposit in order to be awarded. Usually the bonus appears automatically in your account, but sometimes you will have to claim the bonus via email, submission form or through online support on the broker’s website or trading platform. No need to panic here, essentially receiving non-deposit bonus is very simple.
Once again, nothing comes for free. It is possible to find some sort of limitations attached to “Non Deposit Bonus”, so make sure you read the terms and conditions and actually understand them. If you don’t, make sure to contact the broker representative for some assistance. An example of such limitations may include a requirement for a maximum amount you can withdraw using the bonus. Or you might require making a token deposit before withdrawing the winnings.
The bottom line is that when you visit a forex broker and get interested in the bonus offers, always take your time to read the conditions of the bonus. Many misunderstandings arise from the fact that traders sometimes avoid reading the terms and then find themselves in a difficult situation. For example, when it is time to withdraw, forex broker may hold the amount equal to the bonus if the wagering requirements haven’t been reached.

Forex trading can represent a daunting task for many traders that may have had from bad to horrible first experiences with the currency markets. As one approaches forex the most prominent motivation in our minds is to make money with our trades, this is, to become profitable forex traders. But as new traders we are susceptible of committing huge mistakes and draw false conclusion from our first approaches to this market. As you surely know by now, in order to have any profitability in this market you must have a complete understanding of how things work with currencies and then you should be able to use a number of indicators that will help you decide what kind of trade you should use in your next move into the market.
Now, it has been always a dream for all traders, from the beginning of these kind of markets, to predict what happens next with a currency price. This means, having a system that would tell us what time and at what price to enter our trades in a mechanical way. This is, a simple set and forget system that would take the sweating and worries away from our trading sessions. There is nothing 100 percent accurate among trading systems, that’s for sure, but recently the Kiss forex trading system has showed that even without perfection it can make of you a profitable trader.
What’s its secret? First, a Metatrader software for auto-trading, this is set and forget; and most importantly, the two basic principles that have worked with the markets since trading was born: market timing and smart money management. With these you will be on your way to be on the money when trading forex.

The Forex market is relatively easy to understand but the simple fact of the matter is, there are also a lot of intricate parts of the market which take a little bit of time for you to learn. Yes, it is possible for you to jump right in and begin making trades but this should only be done if you have money that you don’t mind losing. The simple fact of the matter is, the Forex market can be quite volatile and unless you understand how it works, you’re better off sitting back with a Forex simulator and getting a little bit of practice before you actually begin investing money.
A Forex simulator is one of the most beneficial tools that anybody getting started within the Forex market can possibly have. What it does is to allow you to place trades within a controlled environment in which no money actually changes hands. Once you place a trade, you have several different choices in order to see how things are going to play out. First of all, you can use a variety of different indicators within the Forex market and allow the Forex simulator to extrapolate that data in order to show you how successful your trade is going to be.
Perhaps another way that the Forex simulator works is more beneficial, however. This is by actually taking a look at the Forex market and showing you on a day by day basis how well your trade is doing. Even though you didn’t actually put any money into the market, it is still able to give you the information as if you did. This will help you to understand that there are always going to be surprise factors that come into play which can change the price of currency within a very short period of time. A good example of this is a news event that happens in the part of the world where you purchased your currency. This can either take the price up or down without any advance warning.
Of course, there is going to come a time when ever you are going to want to put the Forex simulator away and actually take part in trading real money. By using the simulations in advance, however, you’re going to give yourself an overall understanding of how the market works and give yourself the best opportunity to come out on top of the trades that you make.

Forex charts are an excellent way to make money yet most traders have no idea on how to use them correctly and 90% of traders lose. Here we will outline 6 common mistakes traders make with forex technical analysis and if you make ANY of them you will lose to.
1. Using Science
Many novice traders make the mistake of thinking that forex prices move to scientific law – stand up the devotees of Gann, Elliot and Fibonacci – but of course they don’t. If they did then we would all know the price in advance and there would be no market – period.
These traders are naive or lazy – what they need to understand is trading is a game of odds not certainties.
Leave the scientific theories to the far out investment crowd and dreamers and concentrate on the reality of making money – and that means trading the odds.
2. Trying to Predict
Even traders who don’t use scientific forex trading strategies try and predict.
For example, they see prices dip toward support and buy – but this is hoping and guessing and they are going to get a lesson.
If you want to win you wait for the test of support and pfirs to move away from the level supported by momentum.
If you don’t know what momentum oscillators are now is the time to learn and make them an essential part of your forex education – if you don’t trade with price momentum, you are simply guaranteed to lose.
Look up our other articles for further details – you must trade with momentum indicators to get the odds in your favour.
3. Using invalid data
Day traders! All volatility is random in daily time frames and prices can and do go anywhere so you can’t get the odds in your favour and you will lose.
More novice forex traders use forex day trading systems than any other method and it’s the best way to lose money – Don’t try it.
4. Using Indicators The Wrong Way
How many times have I seen people buy dips to a moving average? Loads of times and it’s a guaranteed way to lose money – it’s a lagging indicator!
Another great one is – traders using outer Bollinger bands to set stops – that’s not what it should be used for, it’s a gauge of volatility.
These are just two examples – but there are many more – always use indicators for what they are supposed to be used for.
5. Being To Complicated
Many traders think the more the better and try and use loads of indicators and complicated equations in their currency trading system.
Their wrong!
Simple systems using support, resistance and a few momentum indicators are all you need to succeed.
Why?
Because – simple systems are more robust and less likely to break in the brutal world of trading.
You don’t get paid for being clever in forex trading; you get paid for being right – so keep it simple.
6. Being too Subjective
The more objective you’re trading, the more likely you are to stay disciplined and keep your emotions out of trading.
Avoid using indicators that are subjective such as, cycles etc and stick with objective rules.
Finally…
Using forex charts is easy and quick and you can soon be enjoying currency trading success, so long as you use them the right way.
When you use forex charts you are a bit like a ships captain – you can use them to navigate correctly but if you don’t, then just like the captain at sea who makes errors the market will drown you and your equity.

The Forex foreign exchange market is the largest market in the world. The foreign exchange market, open 24 hours a day 5 days a week, is participated in by nearly every country in the world. Individual investors to massive corporations take part in this exchange market, trading currencies to purchase goods from one country to another or to make profit. However, in order to succeed, a beginner must learn online currency Forex trading. The ins and outs of the system need to be understood to make a profit.
The Forex market is deceptively complicated. The simple concept of buy low and sell high can become very complex. It’s easy for a beginner to get overwhelmed by the large amounts of online currency Forex trading information available, not all of which is viable. Those that take the time to learn the trends and secrets of the system have the potential to reap large rewards. Those willing to actively participate in the market will financially benefit substantially.
Why participate in and learn online currency Forex trading? There are a large number of reasons. Perhaps the most appealing aspect of the Forex market is its ease of use and accessibility. Unlike other markets, such as the stock market, online Forex currency trading is open 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. Since Forex is a worldwide trading system that has no center of operation, it never closes during the business days. With the widespread use of the internet, trading currency online has only made trading more direct. Today’s Forex software makes online currency trading more streamlined and self-sufficient.
Another huge advantage to online foreign currency trading is the absence of commissions and taxes. There are no middle men to pay. Profits are yours and yours alone. Since Forex is a worldwide system, governments can’t put a tax on your earnings. Every single profit made is yours to keep. There is never a lack of somebody to trade with, either.
Forex works by exchanging currency on large margins. Foreign currency trading has a larger margin than almost any other investment medium. For example, the stock market has a 1:1 margin. In the stock market, if you owned $1000 worth of stock, you have $1000 worth of purchasing power. Margins in Forex are much larger, closer to 100:1 ratio, or $100,000 for every $1000 invested. This large margin means start-up costs in the foreign exchange market are much lower than other forms of investment. Some have been able to start with as little as $100. This amount of leverage makes the potential for profit huge.
On the flip side, potential for loss in online currency trading is quite high. That is why an investor must actively participate in Forex. Unlike mutual funds, the market is volatile and can dramatically change in a matter of minutes. Financial disaster can be avoided with proper training and understanding of the market.
One who takes the time to learn online currency Forex trading is in great position to earn large profits. This volatile, thrilling market will never leave an investor without something to do or something to study. Don’t wait! Get involved in online Forex currency trading. Do your homework and get started! Profits are waiting to be made.
