I’m going to talk to you about the proven currency trading strategies that are going to change the way you make money in this market. This is an extremely big market and that means there are a lot of people looking to make a fast buck. If you’re one of these people, I just have to say “BEWARE”. This market is very unforgiving to those that rush in. The the people that profit are the ones that have a long term strategy to make money. If you’re not hear for the long haul, than you’re just wasting your time. If you’re a person that wants to be a serious trader, than I’ll show you the proven currency trading strategies that are going to help you earn more money in the long run.

Basically, there are two times for you to trade; high and low volume times. The high volume times are doing business hours. This is where big banks and businesses are trading. The low volume times are late in the evening and there isn’t much trading on. It’s actually more risky to trade in the low volume times because there is less stability in the market. Big businesses and banks trade during high volume times because it’s the safest and most profitable time to do it. If it wasn’t, they’d trade at another time.

One of my most important currency trading strategies is the need for automated software. If you haven’t used them before than, you should really get one. You’re just one person and you can’t do everything. These software packages work great because they’ll automatically watch the market for profitable trades. Anything that will help you make more money is a good thing to have.

Trading is just as much of a business as any other industry. Treating what you do as a business will help you improve your trading, allowing you to trade with less emotion. Constantly set trading goals to work towards, just as you would create goals for any business. Here are a few tips to improve your trading as a business, helping you reach your trading goals.

1. Your Trading Plan is Your Business Plan - Your complete trading plan is much like a business plan. Included in your trading plan planner should be a concrete statement on how to generate profits and your specific strategies. Much like your own business, you should have a plan in place to reach your trading goals. Setting swing or day trading goals is critical to producing consistent profits and staying “in business.”

2. Profit Loss Sheets - Bookkeeping may come second to technical analysis and e-mini futures, but it is just as important as day and swing trading itself. You should prepare a profit or loss statement every month and track where you’ve made money and lost money. If you’re finding yourself losing money in the 10 am - 2 pm period of the trading day, you might consider closing up shop during that time.

3. Have a Routine - If you were going to the office every day, you wouldn’t go in sweatpants and a t-shirt. You should be dressing the way you want to perform. Getting up early and getting ready just like you would for any other occupation will keep your mind in the game and bring in consistent earnings. You need to treat yourself the same as you would with a business. Set a trading goal for each day and strive to reach it with profitable trading strategies.

4. Use Profits to Grow - Businesses need more capital to expand and make more money and so does your portfolio. Spending a few extra dollars on advanced trading techniques, tools, and strategies will help you be a better trader. Mark each expenditure against the value of your trading portfolio as you would against the bank account of your business. Each investment is an investment in yourself, and it is also tax-deductible, just like any other business expense.

5. You’re Buying and Selling a Product - Shares of stocks are products just like an article of clothing or a pound of carrots. Trading is buying and selling a stock for a profit, much like owning a business is buying and selling a product for a profit. Think of each stock like a product; you might have to have “sales” to get rid of extra holdings or to cut losses, but it is all a part of running a business.

Organizing your trading life like your business increases your probability of market success. When you take time to manage your business, invest in your business, and treat yourself professionally, these are the tools to make consistent profits.

As more NC unclaimed money continues to be turned over to the state, than
returned to it’s rightful owners, the state’s missing money treasure chest has
swelled to a record $700 million! These unclaimed funds already belong to
regular people whose only obstacle is learning to properly search for and locate
all possible claims.

According to the North Carolina Department of the Treasurer, there are over
100 types of property that may become unclaimed after being dormant for 1-5
years (depending on the type of property). Of those 100 types, NC lists
“bank accounts, wages, utility deposits, insurance policy proceeds, stocks,
bonds, and contents of safe deposit boxes that have been abandoned” as
some of the most common.

As with unclaimed property across the country, the biggest obstacle in
discovering North Carolina unclaimed money, is often the peoples’ searching
capabilities. For starters, very few people are even aware of these abandoned
funds (or they’d obviously have never forgotten them), and those that are
aware, simply haven’t been taught the proper way to search.

With nearly 1.5 million properties being held by the state, the chances of being
owed money are better than ever. Every Tar Heel out there should rush out
there and begin their search. But those who aren’t educated on finding
unclaimed assets could be in for a lot of frustration and wasted time, unless they
learn how NOT to search.

Most people seeking to reclaim their lost money think that if they can find a
website to input their name and click a “search” button, they’ve done all they
need to do. This couldn’t be further from the truth. For starters, not all
databases are legitimate, and those that are can only be considered as good as
who updates them.

Suppose a person searches their name on Friday, but a state employee hasn’t
actually added a record in that person’s name until Saturday. The search would
obviously be unsuccessful, even though the person was owed money.
Unclaimed money lists aren’t updated in real time, so searching frequently is one
of the best methods to implement if you would like to be confident in the results
of your search.

Out of date records aren’t always the fault of the state. If the asset simply
hasn’t been dormant long enough to be considered unclaimed, then it won’t
have been turned over to the state. Strict laws dictate how found money is
handled in each state, so you won’t issues like a bank turning over a bank
account after 6 months, simply because you hadn’t accessed it. So again, a
lack of a record doesn’t mean you aren’t due a claim, and you should check
again regularly.

As was mentioned, there are differing “dormancy periods” for each type of
property, which commonly range from 1-5 years. This means that after periods
of inactivity exceed those dormancy periods, the companies who hold these
properties are required to turn them over to the state if they are unable to find
the rightful owner on their own. At this point, the state will act as a custodian,
essentially a “holder” until you claim your money.

There are countless problems, in addition to the examples of search issues
mentioned above that often befall new searchers, which makes it all the more
important that the people of North Carolina allow an unclaimed money expert
to provide them with a step-by-step guide for navigating the lost assets maze.

Unclaimed money and property expert Russ Johnson has been assisting Americans in finding their unclaimed money online since 1997. His site is http://www.unclaimedmoney.net which is updated regularly and offers guaranteed official searches for North Carolina unclaimed money and missing money across the country.

If you want to know how to trade stocks profitably and make the most money that you can, you need to take a few steps to help you along the way. Indeed, these few tips are better than all the half-baked stock trading strategies you run across on dubious sites. Indeed, they can make the difference between profit and loss.

Here are a few guidelines to trade stocks successfully:

1. Don’t trade by the news - This may not always be true, as the news can change market sentiment, but most traders look at news items and rush to the market as if they believe they can be the first to act on what they read or heard. This is far from the case. By the time the news reaches the paper, radio, TV, or internet, it’s already known to most professional traders. This means that the market has had time to register what has happened. You’re not the first to market, so don’t let the news fool you into making a mistake.

2. Don’t trade without a method - Most traders are merely gamblers. They act on gut instinct. If you want to make money trading stocks, you must have a sound stocks trading method that you know how to employ time and time again. Don’t do anything without a method to show you the way.

3. Know what’s going on - You don’t need to know every one of the thousands of stocks on the market, but it’s good if you know some of them. This will allow you to connect information to various companies and analyze the effect that market conditions may have on a certain stock. Don’t spend hours each day on this, but keep informed.

4. Get the lowest commissions - Trading commissions to your broker can eat into your profits. Make sure to negotiate a lower rate. The more money you trade the lower the rate brokers will take from you. Even so, always negotiate a lower rate. It’s literally money in your pocket.

5. Take a stock trading course - The reason I am making this recommendation is that you need to know what you’re doing. The easiest way to do so is to learn from someone who has experience and knowledge. Otherwise, you’re going to learn the hard and expensive ways: through losing time and time again. A good stock trading course can save you thousands in losses and make you tens of thousands or more in profits. Make sure to take a high quality course even if it’s an expensive one. They’re usually worth it in the long run.

Because you have to change your money into the currency of the country you wish to make a purchase of the house or whatever, it is prudent to know something about foreign currency exchange.

It is also important to make sure when you are ready to exchange your currency that you chose the best quote regarding the rates of exchange, as this can make a big difference.

There are a number of foreign currency exchange companies that will quote you much better prices than the high street banks, so look around.

We often hear about a currency pair. This describes two different currencies. The first mentioned, is the base currency. The second of the two currencies is the counter or quote currency.

Thus, in an example quote of EUR / USD 1.59 it means that for 1 EUR you have to give 1.59 USD

Since currencies move up or down all the time, the position can change and a EUR / USD quote may alter to EUR / USD 1.5910 meaning that the Euro went up in value. But, if for instance EUR / USD went to 1.5890 it would mean, that the dollar went up in value.

There are many currencies being traded, but the most traded ones are called Majors.
These are EUR / USD, GBP / USD, USD / JPY, USD / CAD, USD / CHF, AUD / USD

Pairs, where the euro is involved, are known as Euro Crosses. A currency pair where the USD is not included is called Cross Rates.

The bid price is the one at which the broker is prepared to buy, and the offer or asking price, is the one the broker is prepared to sell at.

Currency deposits are usually moved from one bank to the other by the use of the electronic transfer system (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial
Telecommunication) SWIFT for short. This is a very fast and simple way to make the transfer.

Foreign Exchange is often known as Forex or FX.

Bull Market is a period of time when prices are seen to be rising.

Bear Market is a period of time when prices are seen to be falling.

Market Rate is an up to date quote for a currency pair.

Cable is a slang expression for Sterling / US dollar exchange rate.

It is as well to remember that the foreign exchange market is basically slotted in two levels. One is the retail level and the other is the wholesale level.

On the retail side, the smaller agents buy and sell foreign exchange taking the reading from the reference rates. These are adjusted constantly as events unfold in the market.

The wholesale level is an informal network of hundreds of brokerage companies and banks, who deal between themselves as well as very large corporations. It is this trade which is the one, when the newspapers make a reference to the foreign exchange.

These days, people are faced with several permutations. On one hand, they are watching the position of Sterling which has been under pressure lately for many reasons. They are also watching the prices of houses in the UK, and getting nervous
noting they depreciate more and more. This of course, makes them think it may be worth to buy abroad and sell in the UK before the prices do start to fall further.

On the other hand, prices of property abroad in some cases are also falling, but selling now would mean that with the Sterling depreciation, they could get a good exchange rate and eventually buy a house in the UK, especially if the prices get lower and lower.

But then of course, there is the other way of looking at it. For instance, the Euro might depreciate in due course versus the USD, and might push Sterling higher in relation to the Euro. It needs thinking about. One way or the other, it opens up possibilities of making money especially if catching things right.

Let’s face it - it is in human nature to gamble. Every one of us gambles one thing or another and gets the unforgettable rush of adrenalin from it. Some of us play cards, others roll the dice, many buy lottery tickers, others bet on sports and all of us make choices in life, which is also, in my opinion, a kind of gambling. The fascination towards gambling is endless and the eagerness to beat the odds seems to conquer human mind.

Gambling with money is among us for thousands of years despite legal and religious barriers. How is forex trading a gamble, you might ask? Forex trading involves currency exchange - you buy or sell, then hope for the best. In my opinion, Forex trading is yet another way of gambling and it is very appealing since it is legal everywhere. No matter how elaborate the forex trading might seem, it still brings up the primordial human instinct - to win.

Forex trading is relatively new but it is already universally acknowledged. Forex trading is trans-cultural and it makes sense! After all we trade currency of one country for a currency of another. Forex trading sees an unbelievable growth of interest and it becomes a popular way of working-from-home. Unlike gambling where you usually see women behind slot machines or bingo lines, forex became a favored option for stay at home moms. Gambling is a huge business and so is forex trading, because at the end of the day don’t we all dream about one big win?

Lack of thorough Forex education can be costly.

Some new traders open a mini-account and immediately throw $5,000 at it, jump in and get their feet wet. Within 3 months or less the account is finished.

What happened?

There is a lot of hype surrounding the Forex! The internet is full of claims that you can turn a few hundred dollars into tens of thousands within months or 1 or 2 years.

With the most rudimentary information, new traders are sometimes encouraged to begin trading long before they are qualified.

Regretfully, some get-rich-quick merchants merely teach a little technical analysis and basic concepts in the Forex education they offer and miss what amounts to the most crucial part of Forex education: Mental and emotional discipline.

Aspects Of Forex Education

So in brief, here is how the various aspects of a thorough Forex education could be prioritized in increasing order of importance:

1. Forex terminology and trading mechanics

2. Learning how to read charts

3. Learning how to use the online trading software

4. Learning a variety of technical indicators

5. Learning a handful of proven strategies employing those technical indicators

6. Practicing in a demo account

7. Opening a mini account (still viewed as a practice account)

8. Strict risk management

9. Developing mental discipline and control of emotions through experience

Let’s take a look at this list a little more closely.

Notice the items of lesser importance have to do with the mechanics of trading. Most Forex education packages spend ample time on the mechanics.

But the most crucial aspects, the factors that can make or break a Forex trader are the last two, items 8 and 9.

Risk Management

Forex education must include a detailed explanation of risk management rules to be of any value.

You need to know how to calculate risk reward ratios and which trades your equity will allow and which ones you need to avoid.

Estimates vary as to what is the optimal risk percentage on any one trade. Some very conservative traders may suggest no more than 1%. As a general rule, 2% seems to be a reasonable figure allowing for a series of losing trades without putting the account in jeopardy.

More liberal traders even suggest 5% but in my view that is dangerous. Image the hit on your mental energies if you get 5 or 6 losing trades in a row if you trade with that kind of risk.

An effective Forex education will devote a serious amount of time to discussing risk management.

Mental Discipline

There is a reason why this is the most crucial factor of all. Most traders fail, not because they don’t have a good trading strategy, but because they lack the mental discipline to follow it.

The Forex can take an undisciplined trader on an emotional merry-go-round and empty the account at the same time.

That is why any Forex educational package of value will spend considerable time offering strategies and guidelines on how to keep mental focus and emotions in check.

Some Forex education package are put together by individuals associated with online brokers who don’t actually trade themselves. Avoid them.

Go With Professionals

If you are going to invest in Forex education, go to the professionals. Do a little research and make sure the people teaching you are seasoned traders themselves, preferably with years of experience.

So when contemplating the Forex, don’t be in a rush. Take your time, research, identify a good mentor, and be thorough in your Forex education. Eventually, you may be in the small percentage of traders who make a substantial income from currency trading.
