Forex Brokers: Assisting You with Your Trading Needs

If you traded in the Forex market before or if you're still trading now, you may have heard the term Forex broker a lot of times. However, as an individual trader, you may want to know what is a Forex broker and what they do.

Forex brokers are individuals or companies that assist individual traders and companies when they are trading in the Forex market. These individuals can really give you that extra edge you need in order to be successful in the Forex market. Although they will be trading your funded account, all the decisions are still yours to make if you want to.

Forex brokers are there to assist you with your trading needs in exchange for a small commission from what you earn. Here are some of the services that a Forex broker can give you:

� A Forex broker can give you advice regarding on real time quotes.
� A Forex broker can also give you advice on what to buy or sell by basing it on news feeds.
� A Forex broker can trade your funded account basing solely on his or her decision if you want them to.
� A Forex broker can also provide you with software data to help you with your trading decisions.

Searching for a good Forex broker can prove to be a very tedious task. Since there are a lot of advertising in the internet about Forex brokers, Forex traders get confused on which Forex broker they should hire. With all the Forex brokers out there that offers great Forex trading income and quotations, you will find it hard to choose a good and reputable Forex broker.

With a little research, you can find the right Forex broker who can be trusted. If you lack referrals for Forex brokers, you can try and do a little research of your own. The first thing you need to find out about a particular Forex broker with the amount of clients they serve. The more clients they serve the more chances that these brokers are trusted. You should also know the amount of trades these brokers are conducting.

Knowing the broker's experience in the Forex market is also a great way to determine if he or she is the right broker to hire. Experienced Forex brokers will increase your chances of earning money from the Forex market.

If you have questions or complaints, you should call or email the company and ask questions regarding their trading system. You should never be uncomfortable doing this. Besides, they will be the one who will manage your money. And, it is your right to know about what they are doing with your money.

When choosing a Forex broker, you should also consider their trading options. You should also know that Forex brokers are different from what they can offer you. They differ in platforms, spreads, or leverage. You have to know which of the trading options is very important to you in order to be comfortable when you trade in the Forex market.

Most online Forex brokers offer potential clients with a demo account. This will allow you to try out their trading platform without actually risking money. You should look for a demo platform that works just like the real thing and you should also determine if you are comfortable with the trading platform.

Look for the features you want in a trading platform in order for you to know what to expect if you trade with them. If you are comfortable with a trading platform, you should consider trading with them, and if you are not, scratch them off your list. This is a great way to test their trading platform and not risk your money.

If a Forex broker is not willing to share financial information about their company, you shouldn't trade with them because they are reluctant to share company information. They should answer your questions regarding on how they manage their client's money and how they trade that money.

Always remember that if you see an offer that's too good to be true by Forex traders, it probably is too good to be true. The Forex market is a very risky place to trade and Forex brokers must tell you that there are certain risks involved when trading in the Forex market. Avoid hiring a Forex broker who says that trading in Forex is easy and a very good money making market with very low risks.

These are the things you should consider when you look for a Forex broker. If you find that right broker, you can be sure that you can really earn money.

Forex Expert Advisors Forex Maximizer an Unbiased Review

Today I will be revieweing one of the new trading systems which has been released over the past few weeks. This trading system - called Forex Maximizer - promises you will be earning an income every month in no time, with consistent results that will "not make you a millionaire" but will allow you to "quit the search for a new 9 to 5 job". As always I will analyze the evidence provided by the author and I will see if they are truly able to backup the claims made on the website. By analyzing the evidence I will also be able to tell you the soundness of the trading systems tactics and whether or not the system has a high like hood of being long term profitable. In the end I will give you my fully unbiased opinion of whether or not this trading system is worth buying and testing.

The Forex Maximizer website starts with the usual marketing hype that we have come to love so much. It talks about the mighty and mystical gurus that dont want you to know their "secret" to profit from the forex market. What particularly bothers me are the statements that follow this guru talk which are just bluntly misleading and which are simply marketing phrases pointed to make people believe that "getting profit in forex is easy", "even if youve never traded", etc. Then the author goes on and on about how most forex robots "suck" and will lose your money but his trading system - which is not a scalper - will have you banking up consistent profits in no time.

However, when it comes to backing up his claims of consistent profitability and actual real earning capabilities this author simply fails bluntly. What we have as evidence of profitability is simply some hand-picked screenshots of trades -which could as well be made by hand- and some pieces of backtesting results and a screenshot of the strategy tester resuts of a one year backtesting statement. We dont have even access to the backtesting statement or the simulations results to adequately know how the simulation turned out.

Why are simulation results limited to only 2009 ? Why arent 10 year results included ? Why isnt the backtesting statement shown ? These things are all supicious because showing more evidence only makes up a stronger case for the seller and the absence of evidence usually points out that this is simply not the case. Additionally, backtesting statements from commercial EA sellers CANNOT BE TRUSTED because there are simply almost infinite ways in which these results can be manipulated to produce profitable results.

In the end, the maximizer trading system has absolutely no proof of profitability with some very limited backtesting results being the only piece of available evidence, since the backtest is not validated this information is also pretty much useless. There are absolutely NO third party investor-access verified live testing accounts needed to proof the systems profitability and to show actual back/live testing consistency. Why in the world would this guy refuse to show us his statements if his system was so profitable ? Even more, why doesnt he show us his statements if he has - as he says- been trading the system for a while ? It is absolutely amazing that someone with so little proof of profitability is even willing to try to sell a system as if it was profitable.

The fact that there is a willingness to hide evidence shown as an absence of backtesting statements and 10 year backtests and the fact that there is simply no third party investor-access verified live account to backup any claims of profitability and validate the backtests shown tell us that the Forex Maximizer system is simply NOT worth buying and testing. If the seller puts up 10 year backtests and shows a 6 month investor-access verified live test with at least 50 trades (and a backtest of the same live testing period) I will redo this review to include the new evidence. Meanwhile, this trading system is nothing but a part of the usually over-hyped trading systems with little -if actually any- evidence of profitability.

Forex Expert Advisors Forex Profit Hunter an Unbiased Review

Todays post will also be focused on the review of yet another automated trading system (just when I think Ive reviewed them all !). I found this trading system a few days ago while I was searching the web for expert advisors to review on my website. This expert advisor is called forex profit hunter and it is supposed to be a great trading system. In the word of the author :

"The Secret to Automatically Selecting Winning Trades & Depositing $5,000---$10,000--$15,000 + in Profits Even If You Know Absolutely Nothing About Trading Right Now”

Now after reading all this hype you must think that he may have some very convincing proof to be able to make such bold statements. Well, the truth actually is that this expert advisor creator, as most expert advisor sellers out there, has absolutely no reliable evidence to backup ANY of his claims.

Through the whole sales webpage, the author goes on and on about the reliability of his system and why it is supposed to work for people making money while they sleep. The truth is that he offers no evidence at all to proof that his system can achieve any profitability at all. The only thing that remotely resembles evidence is just a half screenshot of a backtesting statement with some trade pictures after that. What the hell ? I can make those trade pictures myself on metatrader in 5 minutes. I think this guy, as many other trading systems salesmen out there, is treating us like if we where retarded. Guess what ? We are not !

I cannot help to feel some anger everytime I come across a webpage like this. Loads of claims with some extremely bold statements about the profitability of a trading system when there is absolutely NO evidence to prove that. When there is no evidence, you should never believe what sellers tell you. Again, when I say evidence I mean evidence for every claim they make. If they say youll double your account each month, they should have a one year statement showing you can do that, if they say their broker independent then you should expect tests on at least 15 different brokers to confirm this beyond any reasonable doubt. But we dont see this, why ? because systems like this forex profit hunter are just pure hype with no substance whatsoever.

Of course, this system is absolutely NOT worth buying or even looking at.

Forex Autopilot Expert Advisor Unbiased Review

A few weeks ago, I started to feel curious about this new expert advisor everyone seemed to be talking about. I went to its cheesy marketing web page filled with marketing tactic ( where they say things like "75% discount, prices will come back to normal in three days!", date which always seems to be the same one after three days) and I took a try for this expert advisor which sells for a mere 89 USD.

At first, let me say the things that attract forex autopilot customers. It is a very cheap expert advisor compared to most of the profitable ones, which usually cost between a 250 one time fee and a 90 dollar monthly subscription. The webpage is also filled with unneeded ways to shove the idea of richness and desire into peoples minds, you see champagne, cars, etc.

When it comes to putting their money where their mouth is, they still have a long way to go. I must say, I still dont have enough testing data to ensure whether it is a profitable system or not, what I can tell you is why I would never trade this expert advisor in my live accounts.

First, there is the way this expert trades. It opens roughly two trades per day, which seems normally selective, and trades on the EUR/USD one minute timeframe. It then opens orders based on some indicators and lets them run after they either hit the take profit or some indicator based exit signals. This is where we have a conflict. Indicator based exit signals ? As I have seen in forward testing, this expert advisor is comfortable with a 400 pip draw down, as seen before last weeks FOMC meeting. If you put a stoploss on the expert advisor, it fails dramatically.

I am very skeptical about expert advisors which tolerate open draw downs like this, specially this ea. It is reasonable when you have pyramiding expert advisor like Pipforia or Pointbreak that close profits at the end of market cycles, and even these expert advisor have never actually seen an open draw down above 20%. The fact that the autopilot expert advisor doesnt use a stoploss and is quiet conformable with a 400 pip draw down without showing exit signals gives me the creeps.

Well, I have given you the facts I have experienced with this expert advisor. An expert which is tolerable to large open draw downs and that also lacks a consistent money management system. I would have to say, I would never trade it in a live account. Would you ?

Dont Trade Alone ! Making Profits in the Forex Market

Almost all the people that start trading forex are aware than more than 90% of all retail traders wipe their first accounts clean. If you have read any web page or book about this market, that statement should not surprise you. Taking a profit in the foreign exchange is like trying to grab a golden coin that sits at the bottom of a pool full of piranhas while a million other people try to do exactly the same thing. It is not easy, not even with the right education. The forex market has wiped clean economists, finance specialists, stock brokers, you name it, they have killed their accounts using forex.

What makes everyone that starts in forex think it is so easy ? Well, human nature for one. You never think that the bad things that happen to other people happen to you, even if chances are highly against you. What makes you better than the other traders ? Another important thing you must think about is that the 90% that lose their accounts are by no means stupid. They are, as or better prepared than you. So again, what makes you so special ?

In fact, nothing. The most important thing in the forex market is knowing how to handle your own psychology and as you know, most traits that make you successful in life, make you wipe accounts in forex. For example, being stubborn and having perseverance, holding on, being ambitious, etc. This personality traits are most certainly going to take you down, sooner or later. That is, until the market baptizes you with your first account loss, then you should have taken a lesson.

But how do those 5% that have managed to make some profits out of the forex market do it ? What in the world made them so different from the rest ? Well, most of them did not trade their first account alone. Of course, if you have someone by your side to tell you "hey, that is stupid", "hey, dont take that position", "hey, stick to the system", then things will look much better for you since you are being walked through your first experience on the market. So for all those forex newbies out there, find someone who has traded for a while and start trading with them, side by side, chances are you will both be profitable.

In my experience, a team of three people is ideal for trading. You get three different analysis plus you get two safes against stupidness. It is much harder for three people to become emotional and act erratically than it is for a single person. When you get more than three, things start to change a little as group emotional factors start to kick in and another type of stupidity arises (like a mob mentality).

So go out there, find a trading buddy and start your profitable forex career.

Forex Expert Advisors Shark by forexeasystems com an Unbiased Review

Today I am going to focus on the review of a very interesting trading system called Shark, made by the people at forexeasystems.com. I have to say that I bought shark almost one year and a half ago and therefore I have a lot of experience with this expert advisor and I feel I have traded it enough to give a deep opinion about it beyond the actual evidence provided by the authors on their website.

First of all, I have to say that I purchased shark because I considered it a likely profitable trading system. The system at the time seemed to have important live testing testing and backtesting performance that showed the expert to be profitable at least certainly from 2007 to 2008. Back live testing consistency was not perfect but it was good enough as to consider the backtesting, although over optimistic still predictive in someway about the experts profitability during past market conditions.

After purchasing this expert and trading it on several brokers and several demo and live accounts I have to say that I utterly and totally dissappointed. I have to say that through all the testing I have done on FXDD, FxLite, IBFX and FxClearing on demo and live accounts I have not been able to reproduce a single month of forward testing results from the people at forexeasystems. I loaded the EA following their instructions, always traded the latest updates but I could never reach, as a matter of fact, even a profitable single month. This expert advisor actually got a live accoutn down more than 30% once, traded on the same level of risk as the account shown on their website.

I dont know why this very important differences between my trading and their trading arises. I tried demo and live accounts on several brokers, and I have got the statements that show this to be absolutely true. However, as I said, I have never been able to reach a single month of profit with this EA. After about a year of trying I finally stopped trying on April when testing from February revealed loses every month and absolutely no correlation with their live or forward testing with my account having much larger loses. My newsletter susbcribers can take a look at this by accessing the trading results zip, located on the root of the ftp server in which the results for sharks trading are included.

I have to say, I would not recommend buying this to anyone as the unprofitability of this EA is absolutely evident to me after one year and half of trading it, as I said, on both demo and live accounts.

Forex Expert Advisors Forex Maestro an Unbiased Review

I recently received a pair of requests from website visitors who wanted my opinion on the "forex maestro" expert advisor system. The truth is that I had seen the website sometime in the past and my opinion about it now is exactly the same as it was then. Who the hell do they think they are selling these products to ? I mean, each time I write one of these reviews and each time I enter one of these websites I get the same feeling. Are they selling us something to invest with ? Or are they selling us a lottery ticket ?

The forex maestro website is yet another example of very fine marketing applied to a forex oriented product. Your welcomed to the webpage with claims that say " You Can Make $2 Million With Currency Trading" . This by itself is a direct hint at the market group these people are aiming at. Every expert advisor that states such claims is obviously aimed at new forex traders who want to make huge returns on investment. The website is carefully engineered towards people who are new to forex and investing altogether. The story itself about the guy feeling "desperate" and then realizing how to "profit" during his sleep sounds just like it was written to make the traders sympathetic towards the author.

But well, I always try to give expert advisors a chance, regardless of their very ethically lacking selling techniques. At first, from the claims made on the website, the system sounds definetely like a "scalper", there would be no other way to attain such a high winning percentage except by having a very large risk to reward ratio. This in my opinion is far from ideal. We also dont even get backtesting information as to evaluate the trading strategy, or the possible consistency, relability, draw down and other aspects of the trading system.

With all that said, I consider that the forex maestro system is absolutely not worth buying. The creator should provide much much more testing information, including live account information with investor access and a good amount of backtesting. I consider it insulting and deeply unethical how this people try to sell a system whose evidence of profitability is absolutely lacking. Finally, if you wish to learn more about other automated and free expert advisors systems I have tested and reviewed please consider buying my ebook on automated trading or subscribing to my weekly newsletter to receive updates and check the live and demo accounts I am running with several expert advisors.

Creating Profitable Forex Trading Systems in Five Easy Steps

One rule of thumb that every aspiring entrepreneur should remember is that to make huge profits, you should know how to do it by yourself�and not rely on other's efforts. Being independent from other people will help you determine what things are best for your business.

Such rule applies on all types of investments, including foreign currency trading, or mostly known as Forex trading. It cannot be denied that Forex is the largest existing market around the world, which is estimated to have an excess of 2 trillion U.S. dollars worth of foreign currencies are traded each day. It is larger than the magnitude of the New York Stock Exchange, which is approximately 50 billion U.S. dollars. Thus, Forex market exceeds all combined equity markets around the world.

With such huge wealth circulating around the Forex market, one of your financial goals is to grab a major slice of that $2 trillion average daily turnover in the market. How you will be able to get a substantial portion of that average turnover if you do not know how you will handle your Forex business? Although you cannot live in the market alone (you need business partners and/or financial advisers to help you along), only you can determine what the best Forex business there is for you.

To get huge profits out of your Forex trading career, you need to build your own profitable system�a trading system that will bring your not just hundreds but thousands of dollars worth of Forex revenues. Such trading system is available on the market, but as previously mentioned, you need to be independent�and you need to have your own Forex trading system that will help you achieve your financial goals.

For new traders, it is difficult for them to device their own trading system since they do not have too much knowledge about the Forex market. However, even a neophyte trader can device a trading system that will fit on his personal preference and needs�in just five easy steps!

Before we discuss the five easy steps towards a profitable Forex trading system, you need to learn first the three main characteristics of a successful Forex trading system. These are as follows:

1. A successful Forex trading system is simple. There is no need for a complicated trading system with too many rules. It is a proven truth that simple systems work better than complicated ones, and they have higher chances of success despite of the �brutal� characteristic of Forex trading.

2. A successful Forex trading system cuts losses and runs profits. Keep in mind that you need a trading system that gets the huge possible profits and eliminates losses quickly, if not instantly.

3. A successful Forex trading system follows long-term trends. You will never cover your losses if you are just generating small profits. Keep in mind that the Forex market is worth $2 trillion U.S. dollars, thus there is no point in trading in exchange for just small profits if you have the opportunity to make trades for larger revenues. Focus on long-term trends and you will be able to see better results.

Now, here are the five easy steps in building a profitable Forex trading system:

1. As previously mentioned, your trading system must be as simple as possible. Integrate few yet essential rules and an extensive investment management system.

2. Always look for long-term trends (preferably on a weekly basis), then shift to daily charts and to time entry. This will help you analyze market trends efficiently.

3. The ideal way of trading foreign currencies is through breakout method.

4. Always watch for any break that you will note on your chart, which is commonly confirmed by stochastic crossed with bearish divergence. This will be your great timing tool whether you will enter a certain deal or not.

5. You must integrate effective time management within your system. Time is gold and is one of your precious resources. Design a trading system that is time efficient�where you can maximize the potential of your time resources to generate huge profits.

Get away with complicated systems; it will just ruin your entire Forex trading career. Build a simpler one and see for yourself how profitable it is.

Forex Expert Advisors Forex Monster an unbiased Review

I have to say that it is very hard to keep up with everything that comes out everyday on the forex expert advisor market and I would really like to thank you guys for telling me about new experts that come out so that I may check them out and review them. Of course, I always hope that one of these systems will be able to go through my criteria for long term profitable profitability but I am still waiting for that to happen ! Now, I am going to review an expert advisor called forex monster, suggested to me by a person who left a message on the chat (it is on the bottom left of the webpage if you would liket o leave a message).

Well, forex monsters webpage greets us to what seems to be a part of a backtesting summary with a huge sign on top saying it can make you 500% profit, not mentioned the time it requires to do so. You should also look at how conviniently the part of the backtesting summary that shows the modeling quality is ommited, very convinient ! Also, why is there no access to the actual backtesting detailed statement ? Things are starting to look a little bit suspicious already.

Now this guy shows us 20 days of trading and calls it "proof" that the system can make a certain amount of profit, which is of course, completely absurd since first, we dont know if that is a backtesting statement, a forwards testing or a live testing statement. We dont know the rest and we certainly do not why the testing stopped there if that testing was done 8 months ago. I mean, if I was an EA seller and I wanted to sell my product, assuming Im telling the truth, I would want to have as much evidence as I can to support my claims. So why doesnt he show any more backtesting or live testing since at least January 2009 ? When this testing statement was issued ?

Looking at the statement there is nothing notoriously obvious about the trading logic that could make this system wipe your account. I could say that it would eventually fail when the market changes as position sizing and stop loss and take profit are rigid. However, this system is most probably geared to take profit of breakouts in high volatility environments, which is why I guess it worked at the beginning of the year when the market was terribly volatile because of all the market crisis. As you see, the system is obviously not a long term profitable system but saying how risky it is something I cannot do without more testing information.

This system is NOT worth buying clearly because the author does NOT show any information to backup his claims. He could get this information pretty easily if he really traded this expert advisor on his live accounts. Why not show us his account statements ? Well, the thing is that this person probably makes his money from selling that system to innocent victims and has never traded it live. If he has, he can show us all his statements with investor access so that we can confirm them and Ill be glad to say he is an honest seller who just happened to "miss" placing the proof on his website. Needless to say, why am I feeling this wont happen ?

Liquidity in Forex Part No 1 What it Means and Why it is Important

The term "liquidity" is used a lot in trading and finances since it is a vital aspect of market behavior. However, people often use this term very liberally in forex trading often without understanding its exact meaning and the implications of high or low values of this particular property. On this article I want to explain to you what the term "liquidity" is, what it exactly means, its implications within a given instrument and why it is such an important characteristic of the market.

Imagine that we had 20 people standing on a circle with 19 of them holding empty glasses and one of them holding a glass full of water. Now we want to see how much time it will take for the person with the glass to pour it onto the next one and so on until the water reaches him/her again. What we find is that it takes a long time for the water to be exchanged along the full circle because only 2 players are able to participate (the one holding and the one receiving) while all the others have to stay on the sidelines, waiting for their glass of water. Now imagine that we give half of them a glass of water, the process is much faster since the number of active participants has now increased to include everyone, all the people are actually exchanging water all the time.

Liquidity on the market is nothing else than the "water" in the above example, it is the amount of volume exchanged of a given instrument over a given amount of time. When there is high liquidity there is a lot of volume being exchanged and when there is low liquidity there is little volume being exchanged. When we have a lot of volume people can get in and out of the market easily (since there is always a buyer for every seller and vice versa) while when there is low liquidity the market gets "stuck" as people have to fight to get in or out of their positions. When there is low liquidity you also get harsher price movements since a person holding a position may be forced to drastically change the offering price to match what the other end - which is very scarce - wants. So while under high liquidity exchanges are easy and swift, under low liquidity prices move more erratically since the offered and accepted prices tend to have larger gaps between them. The consequences for the little trader are unpredictability and spread widening while for the large players the consequences are mainly not being able to get in or out of positions due to the lack of available exchange capacity.

Liquidity in the forex market is extremely difficult to read and study since the market has no central exchange but it is handled over a wide variety of banks worldwide in an over-the-counter manner. The volume of a given contract that has been exchanged during a certain period of time therefore becomes hard to read since it depends on the particular provider you are talking about. Even though the market is praised as being extremely liquid and huge, the fact is that this is only be true if you can access to all - or a lot - of liquidity providers (banks). If you limit yourself to just a few you will see that the liquidity you have access to is nowhere near the trillions of dollars people talk about.

When we are going to trade the foreign exchange market, knowing the liquidity levels of the instruments we want to trade is important since currency pairs with higher liquidity tend to be "easier to trade" since they show more inefficiencies characteristic of crowd behavior while instruments with low liquidity tend to show a more random walk much more characteristic of individual investor behavior. Therefore, instruments that are very liquid tend to be easier to exploit using mechanical trading systems while those that dont tend to be much harder to trade. However, as the time frames get bigger liquidity starts to become a less important factor and crowd-based inefficiencies still arise. This is the main reason why you should look for strategies based on larger time frames and longer period indicators when attempting to design systems for illiquid instruments.

On tomorrows post I will discuss the inner aspects of liquidity in the forex market a little bit more, I will discuss some of the currently available literature about the subject in economics and the liquidity characteristics of different currency pairs.

Forex Expert Advisors Forex Knight Rider an Unbiased Review

Yesterday while searching the internet for new expert advisors I found a new trading system which I had not reviewed. This trading system, called Forex Knight Rider will be the focus of todays post. As with the other experts I have reviewed, today I am going to go through the forex knight rider website evaluating the authors claims against the evidence provided on the site. I will then analyze the evidence closely and give you my opinion about the potential of this expert for long term profitability and if it is or if it is not worth buying and testing. Please remember that my reviews are as unbiased as they can be as I get no reward for any positive or negative feedback on the expert advisor. I just call them like I see them.

If you are looking for the regular hyped website with absurd claims and little evidence, then you have found your match with forex knight rider. The EA starts up with some bold claims of making 28K within three months from 50K, that is, a profit higher than 50% in just three months. What is there to back up the claims made by these people ? Actually the claims are only based on backtesting results. The problem with this is that backtesting results coming from EA sellers cannot be trusted because there are too many ways in which backtesting can be exploited to achieve these unrealistic results. This is specially true when you look at the EA trading strategy which involves closing trades within a 4-6 pip range. Closing trades on such a small movement WILL generate some serious problems due to one minute interpolation errors. Since they do not show us any live tests to show back/live testing consistency then we have no other choice but to consider the back tests unreliable. Why they make claims of real profit based on simulation simply eludes me as this is extremely misleading and borderline illegal.

The things we are shown after this just go off the charts of hype and wrong doing of commercial EA sellers. Useless pictures of trades and best of all, some "testimonials" with "live" accounts to which there is no investor access to confirm or any myfxbook access that could also confirm their authenticity. Another reason to believe that these live tests are fake is pretty obvious. See Tony Alberto from Canada ? Well, he is more well known in the internet as "Close-up office portrait of a young man". What a joke ! Why do they treat us like we were retarded ? We can also search for royalty free images and find their fake pictures of their fake testimonials ! Present FTC regulations forbid the use of fake pictures to represent clients so what they are doing IS illegal according to US regulations.
--
Forex Knight Rider is nothing more than an extremely hyped EA with unethical marketing practices that has absolutely no hard evidence to backup its claims. Another very good example of how things should NOT be done in business. For all the lack of evidence to show any profitability or likehood of long term profitability I consider the forex knight rider NOT worth buying or testing. If you would like to know more about the way in which I evaluate expert advisors and how you too can design and program long term profitable systems with reliable profit and risk targets please consider buying my ebook on automated trading or subscribing to my weekly newsletter to receive updates and check the live and demo accounts I am running with several expert advisors.

Forex News Trading Free Expert Advisor

One of the most interesting things about the forex market is that changes in fundamental data change the global "outlook perception" of a currency for traders and hence mark dramatic changes in price during very small time windows. Trading these spikes caused by fundamentals being changed is called "news trading" because the trader chooses to enter and exit the market at the time when important economic news are released and the market experiences bast levels of volatility.

Trading the news often demands cat like reflexes and the ability to enter orders at the speed of light (or near it !) in order to keep a profit, stop a loss, etc. News trading is also dangerous in the sense that prices can gap for even 100 or 200 pips, making your loss far greater than what you thought it would be. Long story short, news trading is difficult if not because of the volatility and big chances of getting whipsaws, because of the inherent difficulties of trading and making clear decisions in such bad market times.

News trading expert advisors basically work by placing two market buy and sell stop orders at some pip distance from the price, one minute or more before the news release. What the ea wants to predict is a quick change in price which is caught quickly with the aid of the opening orders. This of course, does not work all the time because prices can "bounce" and leave you with no actual clear direction during a news release. Specially when news are confusion, you almost always find candles with gigantic shadows but not too much overall movement. Luckily, most of the time the news do move the markets in one specific direction and often for 100 pips or more. For example, the NFP (non farm payrolls) release moves the EUR/USD by more than 100 pips in average.

So how do we trade this news releases ? (You should first start trying this ea on a demo account, until you are comfortable with the way it works) You can use the ea provided here in order to trade the news in forex. The ea (developed by branac at forexfactory.com) enables you to place 2 orders 1 minute before the set time for the news release arrives (check your time zone and your broker time in order to adjust this time setting correctly). Now set the SL and TP values to the values you want to use as both Stop Loss and Take Profit (use a small stop loss and large take profit for better results, for example SL=30, TP=80) and variable (2) as the amount of pips away from the current price you want to place the orders. Use a wide enough value (30-50) in order to ensure that whipsaws are minimized as much as possible !

I hope this news trading ea proves profitable to all the forex traders out there looking for a solution to trade news releases in mt4.

Forex Trading Is this really for you

Today I wanted to write a post aimed at those people out there who are looking to try, starting to try, or have been disappointed by forex trading. Today my objective will be to describe what in my opinion are all the draw backs of forex trading, manual or automated that are always overlooked or ignored by people who start trading the fx market.

Sure, I remember too when I started trading this market. Everything you read is positive and sincerely you get the feeling that with a little work and dedication all those things they promise you might become true for you. For example, most of the time you hear that forex trading will "free" you from your 9 to 5 job, that it will bring you an amazing amount of profit working from home and that you can, as other people have, achieve a "stress free" luxurious live style. This of course, as it appealed to me, may appeal to the thousands of people out there getting into foreign exchange trading every day.

Whats the catch then ? Why dont we see thousands of millionaires or independent people living from forex trading each year ? Truth be told, forex trading is not for everyone and most people discover this the hard way. Not because everyone is not capable, or because people are not intelligent enough, no, not because of these things. Trading is not for everyone because everyone does not have the psychological or financial capabilities to deal with the facts of forex trading. I will now try to outline the things that happen in forex trading that people NEVER told you that may make you look for other different opportunities best suited for your personality and psychology. What are these things then that are bad about forex...

• Forex is NOT a 9 to 5 job. That is, trading does not offer a fixed amount of predictable profits every month. There are losing months, winning months, breakeven months. If you try to pressure into getting profits when it is not time for profits you will only get more loses. Why is this so stressful to most people ? Well, most people are used to getting a paycheck every month. What happens if you dont get one for 5 months ? would you be able to survive ? This is something that people who trade know and something they do to plan things out.
  
• Trading requires much more education than what you think. People often think this is not the case if they use automated trading system. I outline in my ebook the reasons why it is EVEN MORE the case when you use an expert advisor to trade your account. I spent nearly three years trading before I could get 3 consecutive profitable months. It certainly takes a lot (at least it took me alot) to learn how to trade the forex market, manually or automatically.
  
• You need a good starting capital. Of course, I have said in other posts that you need to have at least double your desired yearly income invested in order to be able to live from forex trading. This is absolutely true. If you try to live from forex using a very small amount of capital, chances are that you will lose all your money. Being underfunded is one of the MAIN causes why people lose their money in trading.
  

If you want to have a check at your door every month and you want your income to be predictable to some degree you can choose another form of independent life that is more suited to what you want. For example you can start a small online business, a brick and mortar business, a consultant business, all these things have a lot of profit potential and require just as much work as forex trading, however they have the advantage of being more reliable and less stressful (well, this depends on what each person finds stressful) than forex trading.

To be extremely sincere, forex trading is not what most people put it out to be. This is not a get rich quick opportunity, or something you can do with just "a little work". This is like starting a business that relies 100% on your dedication and which may sometimes give you no profit, and sometimes give you a lot. Is it for everyone ? No. But sure, they are independent opportunities for everyone who wants to live without having a 9 to 5 job.

For those of you along for the ride, forex trading is a challenge and it has to be treated as such. There will be frustration, there will be bad times but in the end if you have the dedication (which is a LOT of dedication), you will see things get better and you will get something which is priceless, the ability to make money in trading.

FOREX IN ISLAM

FOREX IN ISLAM
FOREX IN ISLAM whether lawful or business can be said is actually forbidden, because I find the money seems so easy and almost no issue you try business keringat.Janganlah unclear halal haraam later regret behind. Read the first opinion of some scholars disini.Bagaimana Business Forex do you think can be said halal or haram even though the purpose and goal is to not to Main livelihood or profit-untungan.Barangkali Gambling Forex According to his view of Islam will be the same with other religions. Heres the opinion of About Forex Islamic scholars.
A small one doubts halalness futures trading practices. What do the experts view of Islam? What do the scholars about Forex Trading, Stock Trading, trading indices, stocks, and commodities? What is Forex Trading Law Halal by Islamic law? Let us follow selengkapnya.Valas According to Islam took the basis of the hadith that Allah willing, thus:

 "Do you sell something that is not you," the words of the Prophet Muhammad, in a hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah.
By temporarily fuqaha (Islamic jurist), the hadith saklek interpreted. Anyway, every practice of buying and selling goods that do not exist at the time of contract, unlawful. Such interpretation, no doubt, make the Islamic jurisprudence is difficult to meet the growing demands of the time with the changes.
Therefore, a number of famous classical scholar with a brilliant idea, object to the way such a narrow interpretation that impressed. For example, Ibn al-Qayyim. Bermazhab cleric Hambali is of the opinion, thats not true buying and selling goods that are not prohibited. Both in the Quran, Sunnah and the fatwas of the Companions, the ban does not exist
In the Sunnah of the Prophet, there were only selling ban that does not exist, as the ban a few items that already exist at the time of contract. "Causa legis or physical defect ban is not the presence or absence of goods, but garar," said Dr. Syamsul Anwar, MA from IAIN Yogyakarta LIKE explain the opinion of Ibn al-Qayyim. Garar is uncertainty about whether the goods traded can be rendered or not. For example, someone sells a lost camel. Or sell the goods belonging to others, though not authorized by the individual.
So, although at the time of the contract the goods do not exist, but no certainty is held at the time of need so that could be handed over to the buyer, the purchase is legitimate. In contrast, although the goods already exist but for one reason or another can not be delivered to the buyer, the sale and purchase was not valid.
Futures trading, obviously, not garar. Because, in berjangkanya contract, type of commodity traded has been determined. So also with the quantity, quality, place and time of delivery. Everything is walking on the tracks official rules strict, in anticipation of the increased incidence of irregularities in the form of fraud - something that could also happen in practice rather buy conventional.
In the perspective of Islamic law, the Commodity Futures Trading (PBK) Forex is part of the CPB) can be incorporated into the category almasail almuashirah or legal problems of contemporary Islam. Therefore, its legal status can be categorized to the problem ijtihadiyyah. Classification ijtihadiyyah entry into the territory fi ma la Nasha FIH, the legal issues that legal texts do not have a definite reference.
In the category of al-Sahrastani legal problems, he belongs to the paradigm of al-qad nushush intahat wa al-waqaI la tatanahi. That is, the legal texts in the form of the Quran and Sunnah has been completed; no longer any extra. Thus, the case law emerging legal certainty should be given through ijtihad.
In the case of PBK law, ijtihad can refer to the theory of law changes introduced by Ibn al-Jauziyyah Qoyyim. He explained that the fatwa law can be changed because some variables perubahnya, namely: time, place, intent, purpose and benefits. The theory of legal change is derived from the paradigm of jurisprudence from his teacher Ibn Taymiyyah, who claimed that a-haqiqah fi al-ayan la fi al-adzhan. That is, the truth of the law is found in empirical reality, not in the realm of thought or idea of ​​nature. The paradigm is derived from Islamic law principle of justice which the Quran used the term al-Mizan, a-qisth, al-wasth, and al-adl.
In practice, in particular the problem EAPs can be incorporated into the field of study fiqh al-siyasah maliyyah, namely legal political material. In other words, PBK including studies of Islamic law in the sense of how Islamic law is applied in matters of property ownership, through the trading of commodity futures in the era of globalization and free trade.
The realization that most likely in order to protect the actors and parties involved in trading commodity futures in space and time and consideration of the purpose and benefits today, in line with the spirit and sound of Law. 32/1977 about PBK. Because the theory of legal changes as described above, to show the elasticity of Islamic law in the institutional and economic practice, the CPB in the Islamic legal system can be analogous to the bay al-salamajl biajil. Bay al-salam can be interpreted as follows. Al-salam or bay al-salaf is ajl biajil, namely trade in something with the provisions of its properties are guaranteed true. In such transactions, delivery of ras al-mal in the form of money as the exchange rate should take precedence over the delivery of commodities as defined in the transaction. Ulema Syafiiyah and Hanabilah define it: "Covenant of the sale and purchase of commodities guaranteed given the nature of expenditure (futures) the price is specified in the contract market."
Validity of sale and purchase transactions deposits, determined by the harmony and the fulfillment of conditions as follows: a) The Pillars as the main elements that must exist in a transaction event key elements in the bay al-salam are:
The parties conducting the transaction (aqid) called by the term Muslim or Muslim ilaih.Objek transaction (maqud alaih), ie goods and prices of commodity futures exchange (ras al-mal al-salam al-Muslim and FIH) . Sentences transaction (Sighat aqad), the final offer and Kabul. Noteworthy of these elements, is that the final offer and qabul expressed in the language and the sentence that clearly shows the futures transaction. Therefore, scholars emphasize the use of the term Syafiiyah al-salaf al-salam or in sentences that transaction, arguing that the aqd al-salam is the bay al-madum with nature and the different ways of selling and contract buy (buy).
b) The terms of
Requirements regarding the object of transaction, is: that the object of the transaction must meet the clarity about: the type (an yakun fi jinsin malumin), its nature, size (content), delivery period, the price of exchange, place of delivery. Requirements to be met by the exchange price (al-tsaman), is, first, the clarity of type medium of exchange, namely dirhams, dinars, dollars or dollars or so on goods that can be weighed, disukat, etc.. Second, the clarity of type of medium of exchange whether the rupiah, the U.S. dollar, Singapore dollar, and so on. Are the scales agreed in kilograms, pounds, etc..
Clarity about the quality of the object of transaction, whether a special quality, whether moderate or bad. The terms of the above specified for the purpose of eliminating jahalah fi al-aqd or excuse ignorance conditions of goods at the time of the transaction. Because this will result in discord between the party conducting the transaction, which will damage the value of the transaction.
Clarity of exchange rates. A brief explanation above seems to have been able to provide clarity permissibility PBK. Even if in practice there are still those who feel disadvantaged by laws that exist, it can use the rule of law or legal maxim which says: ma la yudrak kulluh la yutrak kulluh. What can not be everything, it will not be abandoned entirely.
Thus, the law and the implementation of EAPs to certain limits may otherwise be acceptable or at least in accordance with the spirit and soul of the Islamic legal norms, with menganalogikan to the bay al-salam.
Forex Trading on Marketiva
Marketiva is a forex broker that has implemented the policy Zero-Interest (without interest) on all open positions. No overnight (stay fee interest (interest) which is charged or paid on the status of open positions. Thus there is no conflict between the prohibition of Riba Marketiva services under Islamic law. Thus there is no more doubt to serious business in forex.
(Compiled from various sources)
Similarly FOREX IN ISLAM and opinions of the scholars about this Forex business law that has been described with bright and clear so no doubt yourself.
I already know halal and haraam then I want to try it now and I want to List Foreign Currency.

Trading the Turtle System in Forex using an ea in mt4 Part Two The Ea

In the first part of this post I gave a little introduction into the turtles trading system and some insights into its money management technique. From now on, I will start to talk about its entry and exit strategies as well as its pyramiding characteristics.

If you read the pdf (there is a link to it in the last post) that details the whole turtle trading system, you will notice that the system follows breakout strategies with a pyramiding approach in order to exploit the trend. This strategy ensures that the system gets a very high profit when a large trend is caught and also tries to minimize the risk associated with ranging markets. This is specially profitable in long time frames.

You should have also noticed that the Turtle technique has two different systems, No.1 and No.2. We are going to trade the system using the No.2 trading system with an 2N stoploss and an exit strategy based on the 20 day breakout signal. This of course, with the corresponding pyramidying tecnique with a maximum value of 3 units trading at any given time.

The expert advisor we will be using can be found here (an image of the trading expert is shown above). It accurately represents the way in which the system works, following the exact entry and exit rules described in the manual for the No.2 trading system, make sure you set the LockingProfit option to false as this is an implementation not true to the original turtle system (remember to demo test to see if you feel confortable with this system before using real money). However, the lot size needs to be adjusted weekly following the instructions given during the first part of this article. I have also started testing this system in a demo account using the EUR/USD daily chart. People who have joined the mailing list will also receive statements and weekly comments on this system.

Learning and Discovering the Forex Trading Basics for Better Understanding

Trading has been in existence for many years. It's been there ever since man has learned to make a way of living. Before, people traded goods for other goods; or goods for services and vice versa. All of these things are necessary for survival. But now, trading is not mainly about goods or services, it is much more than that.

Forex trading is not new in the market; in fact, it has been there for many, many years now. A lot of people find forex trading as a worthwhile and lucrative venture.

Forex trading basically involves the buying and/or selling of different foreign currencies in the global market, often referred to as the FX market. Having a portfolio filled largely with bonds, mutual funds, and stocks is simply not enough. Why not include different foreign currencies in your portfolio, this way you can have money in all its different aspects.

The financial market operates twenty four hours a day. The usual trading day starts in Sydney, Australia, and other markets around the globe follows. New York is the last market that opens.

You can find a lot of different currencies in the world. Almost every country has its own currency, but with regards to forex trading, the trading of currencies is only done with what is popularly called the majors. These currencies are highly regarded as majors because they are economically stable compared to other foreign currencies.

The major currencies that are traded in the FX market are Euro, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, American Dollar, Australian Dollar, Japanese Yen, and Swiss Franc.

Don't be left out, now you can even do forex trading in your home. You don't need to go to the actual FX market, as long as you have an internet connection.

There are a lot of things to consider when you start trading. It would be best if you can do a little research and learn what the business is all about; you must understand the whole process to avoid major losses. Forex trading may be a great way to make money, but when done in the wrong way, it can get very expensive.

Forex currency trading is risky compared to stocks and bonds. But it is also a lucrative business because you can actually gain a lot within a split of a second or a few minutes.

If you're an ordinary individual, you can also take part in forex trading. Don't think that only large organizations or banks take part in this huge financial market. People from all walks of life can be involved in forex trading as long as they know how to properly do it.

The Internet and Global Forex Trading: The Perfect Combo

If you're one of the many people still looking for ways to earn, forex trading is a very good place to start your search.

Forex trading is no longer concentrated in the actual FX market. You can actually do it globally. You might wonder how, well it is quite simple. You are most probably aware that the Internet is widely used nowadays; and many businesses are finding it very useful in almost all areas of their work. And now, you can even trade currencies through the net.

The FX market is open twenty-four hours each day, and you can take part in the trade six days a week. The opportunities in forex trading are immense.

Almost any business venture requires you to do some marketing, promotion, and/or selling. And not only that, you would need a huge amount of capital. But with forex trading, you will need only a reasonable amount to open an account. As you go through the course of currency trading, you won't be spending a lot of money as well.

The price ranges from three hundred dollars to over two thousand dollars in order to open an account. Instructions are usually provided to help you in doing your trade. You don't have to keep an eye on your computer monitor all the time. You can log off after you've done your trade for the day. And you're free to check what happened during the trading day in the FX market. You need to check every now and then though, but you can do it during your free time, or after office hours.

Global forex trading allows you to enter buy trades with specified prices. Once the selling price of the currency rises to your desired price, it will be sold automatically for you. Even when you're not watching, you are actually making money.
