Earn Money With Forex Trading



Forex Trading OR Currency Trading:What is Forex Or Currency Trading?
Forex - The Foreign Exchange Market or Currency Market or Forex is the market where one currency is traded for another. It is one of the largest markets in the world. Currency trading is when you buy and sell currency on the foreign exchange (or "Forex") market with the intent to make money.
How Forex Works?The currency exchange rate is the rate at which one currency can be exchanged for another. It is always quoted in pairs like the PKR/USD (the Pak Rupee and the US Dollar). Exchange rates fluctuate based on economic factors like inflation, industrial production and geopolitical events. These factors will influence whether you buy or sell a currency pair.

Why Trade Currencies? 
Forex is the world's largest market. With about 3.2 trillion US dollars in daily volume and 24-hour market action, we believe it is a true "step above" the equities market for the serious trader. Some key differences are:
a. Many firms don't charge commissions – you pay only the bid/ask spreads.
b. There's 24 hour trading – you dictate when to trade and how to trade.
c. You can trade on leverage, but this can magnify potential gains and losses.
d. You can focus on picking from a few currencies rather then from 5000 stocks.
e. Forex is accessible – you don’t need a lot of money to get started.
   Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for everyone. Before deciding to trade foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. Remember, you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment, which means that you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. If you have any doubts, it is advisable to seek advice from an independent financial advisor.

The Perfect Forex Trading System:Trading the Forex market has became very popular in the last few years. But how difficult is it to achieve success in the Forex trading arena? Or let me rephrase this question, how many traders achieve consistent profitable results trading the Forex market? Unfortunately very few, only 5% of traders achieve this goal. One of the main reasons of this is because Forex traders focus in the wrong information to make their trading decisions and totally forget about the most important factor: Price behavior.
   Whether you are new to forex trading or experienced, you will always be looking for that "perfect" trading system, but what do you need to look for in a trading system to determine if it could be the best? You have two options here. You can either spend months testing out a trading system on a demo account, or you can go all in and risk real money without knowing if the system will work or not. But it doesn't have to be like this. There is a better way.
    The issue most traders run into is that they do not know where to begin. There is so much information out there that people get information overload as there are various trading systems which use indicators, there are ebooks which explain strategies, and there are even automated forex trading robots or software that you can use. Whichever you decide to go with, there are 3 factors that you should try to look for in any system or strategy to determine if it will be profitable or even the best.
First Step factor is Following a Trend. A majority of the best forex trading systems incorporate some form of medium or long term trending methods. This is obviously not the only way to make money from forex trading, but it is the simplest and for beginners this is the suggested method. This type of system does not require a lot of your time as trades can be made in as little as 20 minutes a day. Therefore, you do not have to be glued to your computer all day watching the prices and you can spend more time learning more about the forex markets.
The Second factor is that the system must be simple and clear. If you are a beginner, you need to find a system that is easy to understand and follow as your knowledge of the forex markets will be limited. Often the simplest systems are the most profitable as there is nothing to get mixed. You may see a lot of people using indicators to assist in their trading system. For a begginer it is suggested to use a system with no more than 3 indicators to make things easy to begin with.
The Third factor that should be considered is profitability. Now obviously you can't expect 100% winners all the time. Losing should be considered in your trading plan, but to minimize these losses and to maximize your overall profits from all of your trades should be the goal. So, to determine if a system is profitable, you must test it over a period of time to know what kind of profits/losses you can expect from the trading system. This way, when you encounter a few losing trades, you'll realize its part of your plan and the bigger picture overall will be your end results
