FOREX STRATEGIES:HOW YOU MAKE MONEY IN FOREX
Just with your Laptop and Internet access you can make as much as $1,000,000 in the Forex trading market.
In the forex market, you buy or sell currencies.
Placing a trade in the foreign exchange market is simple: the mechanics of a trade are very similar to those found in other markets (like the stock market), so if you have any experience in trading, you should be able to pick it up pretty quickly.
The object of forex trading is to exchange one currency for another in the expectation that the price will change, so that the currency you bought will increase in value compared to the one you sold.
Example:
Trader's Action EUR USD
You purchase 10,000 euros at the EUR/USD exchange rate of 1.1800 +10,000 -11,800*
Two weeks later, you exchange your 10,000 euros back into U.S. dollar at the exchange rate of 1.2500 -10,000 +12,500**
You earn a profit of $700 0 +700
*EUR 10,000 x 1.18 = US $11,800
** EUR 10,000 x 1.25 = US $12,500
An exchange rate is simply the ratio of one currency valued against another currency. For example, the USD/CHF exchange rate indicates how many U.S. dollars can purchase one Swiss franc, or how many Swiss francs you need to buy one U.S. dollar.
How to Read a Forex Quote
Currencies are always quoted in pairs, such as GBP/USD or USD/JPY. The reason they are quoted in pairs is because in every foreign exchange transaction, you are simultaneously buying one currency and selling another. Here is an example of a foreign exchange rate for the British pound versus the U.S. dollar:
GBP/USD quote
The first listed currency to the left of the slash ("/") is known as the base currency (in this example, the British pound), while the second one on the right is called the counter or quote currency (in this example, the U.S. dollar).
When buying, the exchange rate tells you how much you have to pay in units of the quote currency to buy one unit of the base currency. In the example above, you have to pay 1.51258 U.S. dollars to buy 1 British pound.
When selling, the exchange rate tells you how many units of the quote currency you get for selling one unit of the base currency. In the example above, you will receive 1.51258 U.S. dollars when you sell 1 British pound.
The base currency is the "basis" for the buy or the sell. If you buy EUR/USD this simply means that you are buying the base currency and simultaneously selling the quote currency. In caveman talk, "buy EUR, sell USD."
You would buy the pair if you believe the base currency will appreciate (gain value) relative to the quote currency. You would sell the pair if you think the base currency will depreciate (lose value) relative to the quote currency.

Long/Short
First, you should determine whether you want to buy or sell.
If you want to buy (which actually means buy the base currency and sell the quote currency), you want the base currency to rise in value and then you would sell it back at a higher price. In trader's talk, this is called "going long" or taking a "long position." Just remember: long = buy.
If you want to sell (which actually means sell the base currency and buy the quote currency), you want the base currency to fall in value and then you would buy it back at a lower price. This is called "going short" or taking a "short position". Just remember: short = sell.
Long dog, short dog
"I'm long AND short."
Bid/Ask
EUR/USD quote
"How come I keep getting quoted with two prices?"
All forex quotes are quoted with two prices: the bid and ask. For the most part, the bid is lower than the ask price.
The bid is the price at which your broker is willing to buy the base currency in exchange for the quote currency. This means the bid is the best available price at which you (the trader) will sell to the market.
The ask is the price at which your broker will sell the base currency in exchange for the quote currency. This means the ask price is the best available price at which you will buy from the market. Another word for ask is the offer price.
The difference between the bid and the ask price is popularly known as the spread.
On the EUR/USD quote above, the bid price is 1.34568 and the ask price is 1.34588. Look at how this broker makes it so easy for you to trade away your money.
If you want to sell EUR, you click "Sell" and you will sell euros at 1.34568. If you want to buy EUR, you click "Buy" and you will buy euros at 1.34588.

How to use pivot point to profit in the Forex trading market
Pivot points trading system in Forex trading is a new way of generating profit pips in the Forex trading market..Pivot points as a trading system is good because it is predictive.You as a trader is able to use the information of the previous day high,low and close to generates 7 points.i.e 3 supports,3 resistance levels and the actual pivot points.
Trading system.

2.If the market opens below the pivot point then go for short trades as long as the market remains below the pivot point.
3.The general idea behind trading pivot point is to look for a reversal or break of R1 or S1.By the time the market reaches R2,R3 or S2 the market WILL ALREADY BE OVER BOUGHT or oversold and these levels should be use for exits rather than entries.
How to calculate the points.
1.Pivot point=High+previous close+previous low/3
2.Resistance 1= 2*Pivot point - previous low
3.Support 1=2*pivot point-previous high
4.resistance 2=pivot+(R1-S1)
5.Support 2=Pivot-(R1-S1)
6.support 3=Low-2*(High-Pivot point)
7.Resistance 3 =High + 2*(pivot-Low)

HOW TO PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE FOREX TRADING MARKET.
Good Forex money management can take a trader from gambling with his or her money ,hoping for a gain,but probably encountering many loses,to successfully trading while maximizing losses.It may not be as exciting as other aspects of Forex trading,but for traders who want higher gains,money management is an absolute necessity.
today,i will be explaining how to use risk/reward ratio as a tool in Forex money management in trading.The risk/reward ratio means the amount you are risking i.e your stop loss amount against the amount you stand to gain i.e your profit or limit on the trade.
For example, if you enter long on the GBP/USD at 2.0040 and you enter a stop loss or determine you will manually close the trade at 2.0020 if it goes the wrong way then your risk is 20pips per lot.If on the same deal you determine that your target or where you will take profit and close the trade is at 2.0140 then your reward is 100pips i.e 2.0140-2.0040=0.0100 or 100 pips.So on this particular trade your risk/reward is 100pips /20pips or 5:1.
If you have a risk /reward ratio of1:1 it means you risk the same amount as your reward each time,then obviously you have to win 50% of your trades to break even.Below are a few risk/reward ratios and the win percentage you need to break even.
1:1-50%,2:1-33%,4:1-20%,5:1-17% and 10:1 equals 10%.
The best traders I know practice good money management with good risk/reward ratios.Ratios of at least 2:1, up to 4:1.

HOW TO PROFITS WITH EUR/USD PAIR.

FOREX TRADING MARKET:HOW TO PROFITS WITH EUR/USD PAIR.
The fact is that if you as a forex trader buy the pair,you are betting that the euro will increase in value versus the USD and if you sell EUR/USD,then you are saying USD would increase in value to EUR.
To profit from this pair,you must take the advantage of what moves EUR/USD.
WHAT MOVES EUR/USD?
1.Surprises in US economic releases:This pair would move when results comes as a surprise,especially indicators that measure growth or recovery in the US.Thuis uncomplementary news on US economic growth favors the euro.
2.Interest rates:If Fed raises interest,it boosted the value of the dollar.This is because money would flow into the US as investors move to capitalise on these higher returns.
3.Oil prices:Since the US economy is highly dependent on imported oil,movements in the price of oil tends to impact the value of the dollar.
4.Trade:More imports to exports has tghe power to reduce the value opf the dollar in the long run because the market is very concerned with theb trade balance in the US.Changes means a shift in the value of the US dollar.
In all watch the Us economic data closely and take good advantage of uncertainty about US economic recovery.In the absence of a trend,go for range trading strategies.

HOW TO APPLY MONEY MANAGEMENT IN FOREX TRADING.
PART 1
A traders money management style can be the difference between a loss and a gain.Most traders do not care for this aspect of trading,but it is very important.
In many cases of large losses,poor money management was the culprit.Everyone wants the $1billion profit in a single day,but that is market gamble.Good Forex management ,though,can give a trader much better odds of a large gain than a trader who has little or no money management.
I agree with some of my friends who are trends followers that beginner traders should not risk more than 1% of their total equity on any trade.At 1% ,a loss is very minimal and it is much easier to recoup and rebound.
On an individual trade ,the 1%makes little difference and even if the trader is wrong 20 times,he or she will still maintain 80%in equity.This type of Forex money management,however,requires discipline which is often in short supply with many traders.
Money is very easy to lose,but not so easy to make back.For example,a trader invests $100,000 and loses $50,000.This is a 50%loss.However,the percentage that the trader must make in order to get back to the original $100,000 is actually 100% this would mean that there was a 50% draw down,the percentage of the difference between the peaks and trough of an investment.
It is thus advisable that traders who are joining the Forex market for the first time should use speculative capital only.In deciding how much money to begin trading with,it is advisable to select an amount that can be considered as an acceptable loss.
HAPPY TRADING.
