Currency Trading Made Easy

Currency trading made easy is my objective for this article. I want to help you look at trading, not as an over complicated gamble, but an easy to understand routine of behaviors. If you learn to harness specific behaviors over the long term, you'll some day find profit.

  • You're Trading Pairs: You got to always remember that. You're not trading the US dollar or the Canadian dollar. You're trading pairs of currency. The value of a currency is only useful to you if it is compared (or contrasted) against another currency. When you see USD/CAD = 1.0150, you know that is the value of the US dollar compared to the Canadian dollar.
  • Cheap Trades Are A Fallacy: As regular consumers in society, we are always looking for a good buy, but in that case we're buying to use for ourselves. In currency trading, you're buying with the intention of selling. Therefor your main concern should be the exit(sell) price in comparison to the buying price. For example, a very high priced currency that is expected to go up 10% more in value is better to buy than a cheap currency that "might" go up 1%. It's like flipping houses. A cheap house is a good buy, but if you can't get a good selling price in a few months, than there really is no point in buying.
  • Be A Confident Trader: This is tough at first because you don't usually get confident until you have had some positive experiences with it. The best thing you can do to get in that state is to practice with your demo account. These demo accounts allow you to make trades without using money. It's the best way to get a real life simulator without investing a cent. Now, you should be able to do hundreds of trades to gain confidence, than use your real money.

This is my advice for foreign exchange traders. I'm currently giving a 7 day free forex training course. Newbies and experienced are all welcome. If you're interested in participating, check out the Casual Forex Trader.

Reuters - Bridgewater Associates Inc, one of the world's biggest hedge-fund managers, said on Tuesday it might be interested in participating in the U.S. Treasury's public-private investment program, calling it a "big transfer of money from the government to the banks and to the buyers."

The best way to catch pips quickly is by scalping. Scalping is available for all traders in the Forex market.

If you don't want to sit in front of your computer all the day watching the chart, then scalping can put smile on your face. Lazy traders use this.

Now back to the story: What Is Scalping?

Scalping is a focused technique that involves making a minuscle trade to generate profits within short period of time. This method of trading the Forex market is high probability trades which extremely small risk stops and predefined profit objectives.

It is also a means of taking million trades to make a million dollars.

There are different types of traders:Position traders, Day traders and Scalpers. A position trader would engage in trades that are intended to last for multiple days or month with huge pips target of hundreds to thousands. A day trader could typically engage in trades that might last for less than a day aiming for targets of 20 to 100pips while Scalper often engages in trades that might last for few minutes and the minimum targets could be 5 pips plus.

A Scalper normally trades higher lots size or volume depending on your account size and risk acceptance for the fact that this technique requires a minimum stop loss of 20 pips, you must also maintain a good equity management principle.

As a scalper, you could rake in more profits to your bank account without stress compared to day or position traders.
