Currency Trading Without A Clear Strategy Is The Road To Financial Ruin

admin — Mon, 25 May 2009 09:41:50 +0000

Is you are just starting out in Forex trading then you may well have been lured into the exciting world of currency trading by one of the hundreds of websites that will tell you that for a very low initial investment you can enjoy high returns in a low or risk free market. Unfortunately, like most things in life, it is not quite as easy as these websites would have you believe and Forex trading, while not as complicated as many other forms of trading, is still a reasonably complicated business.

Many novice traders are tempted to open an account, which is a very easy process these days, and to simply dive head first into trading and, in so doing, they make two basic mistakes. Their first mistake is to begin trading without any clear strategy and their second mistakes is to move one trade to the next being driven on purely by emotion.

In many cases a novice trader will buy a currency pair in the certain belief (based upon nothing but a hunch) that it offers the opportunity for an easy profit and is tempted to buy quickly before the opportunity is lost. Shortly after opening the trade however the market will move in what the novice trader perceives as being the wrong direction and he will panic and close the trade taking a loss. However, he will then continue to watch the market for reassurance that his decision to get out was a wise one and to comfort himself with the knowledge that things could have been worse and his loss far greater. Now sometimes this is exactly what happens but, very often, he will simply watch the market reverse and his currency pair climb quickly into a position which would have made him a nice profit if only he had not panicked.

There are many different groups involved in Forex trading today including governments, banks, investment funds, corporation and of course individual private traders. Leaving the individual traders on one side for a moment, the other players in the market all have very specific objectives for their trading and, most importantly, they also have a very clearly defined set of guidelines and rules for their trading, not least because they will be held accountable for their trading decisions. This means that, for the larger players, trading is an extremely disciplined business and this to a very large degree explains why these large players are so successful.

For the private trader there is of course no accountability issue and so no specific requirement to adopt a trading strategy or to follow a set of trading rules. However, if you wish to succeed in currency trading then there is no doubt that this is one area in which you need to follow the example of the larger players.

Success in the longer term will never come from trading based upon a hunch or on emotion, but will only come from a sound knowledge of the workings of the market combined with a clear trading strategy.

A Secrets of Top Day Trader, Techniques to Success

The most common of these include futures, options, currencies, and standard stocks. Unlike other types of trading, day trades are done during the market day. This means that they are rarely held from one day to the next or overnight.

Initially, only banks and other financial companies had access to the information involved in this type of trading. Little by little, and mostly thanks to services on the Internet, traders who work on an individual basis were also allowed to access such things as the exchanges and market information. This allows them to make extremely low cost trades.

There are five primary techniques and strategies used in this type of trading. Although different traders prefer different techniques, they are all used with the main goal of making a profit in mind. The first of these strategies is trend following. It follows the assumption that financial markets that have seen a steady, consistent increase will keep going up as they have been. The opposite is also true, meaning that if a stock has been consistently falling, it will continue to do so. Clearly, just as the name implies, this technique is based solely on financial and stock market trends.

Contrarian is another technique used in day trading. It is a timing technique. It operates in direct opposition of trend following. Therefore, contrarian trading follows the philosophy that if a stock or financial instrument has been increasing consistently, it is bound to see a reverse. Conversely, if an instrument has been falling steadily, then contrarian trading assumes it is soon due to rise. In short, day traders who follow the contrarian philosophy will usually buy into a market that has been decreasing. They hope to sell it high when it ultimately begins to rise. When a stock is already rising, day traders following this philosophy generally short sell it. They do so because they anticipate it will soon fall.

Range trading involves keeping an eye on a stock that rises off of a support price and/or falls off of a resistant price. That means that when a market hits a high point, it declines back to the low point. Conversely, if it hits a low point, it will rebound up to a high.

Scalping involves the exploitation of differences, or gaps, between the bid and the ask. It is a form of very quick trading which generally takes place within a span of minutes.

Another technique in day trading is called rebate trading. Profit and revenue are dependent on the ECN rebate of an instrument. It involves the trading of stocks with a low price and a high volume.

Lastly, there is news playing. As the name suggests, it is dependent on stock news. So, if a day trader has word that a stock is doing well, he or she will buy it. If on the other hand there is news a stock will be taking a dip, then the trader short sells it.

Value Investing Pros

admin — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 02:40:43 +0000

Value investing is one of the best things to have happened stock investing. If your portfolio is going to stand the test if time, I must implore you to look the way of value investing. Before I dig into the pros of value investing, let me attempt a concise explanation of the meaning of the value investing.

Let me give a list of definitions, perhaps you will be able to identify with the one that most appropriately conveys the meaning to you.

Value investing is when an investor invests in a company trading below its inherent worth.
When an investor specializes in buying stocks that are grossly undervalued but have not lost their value.
Value investors buy stocks whose profit potential is far higher than its present price; that way they are able to grow their portfolio to enviable heights over time.
Value investing is the strategy of selecting stocks that trade for less than their intrinsic value.
Value investors believe in buying a stock when the selling price is low and sell when it is high.

To be able to excel in value investing, there are certain sure fire tools you must familiarize yourself with; they are tried and tested tools that great value investors have used and are still using.

The price to earning ratio: The value investor uses P/E ratio to quickly determine the worth of a stock relative to how much a company is earning. The value investor believes the lower the ratio (less than 10) the better the deal.

Strong fundamentals: The value investor believes that for a company to a real bargain, the company must have fundamentals strong and healthy enough to imply that it is worth more than its selling price. The value investor views very strongly current price in comparison to intrinsic value and not to historic price.

Current assets vs. liability: The value investor weighs the size of the current assets over the liability of a company. The value investor is excited when he sees a company whose current asset is twice of current liabilities.

Earnings growth: Value investor believes earnings growth of a company should be al least from 7% - 10% per annum compounded over the last 5 – 10 years.

Earnings per share: The value investor considers EPS as a vital tool that helps estimate the value of a share in comparison ton the selling price. The higher earnings per share; the better the deal.

Why do value investors love value investing?

1. It reduces risk: risk of a share underperforming is greatly reduced because of “guarantee indexes” explained above.
2. Profit possibilities is great and guaranteed
3. The power of compound interest
4. Getting stocks at discounted price
