Thread: Where is Your Interests in Forex Trading?

Just to get your dendrites firing, take a look at the few goals below and see where your interests in trading might be:

1. Make enough to take a nice vacation or buy a new toy every year.

Then the question must be asked: “How much would that actually cost?” If you don’t have a specific number in mind, figure out where you want to go and find out how much a “nice” vacation will cost. By doing the research, it makes the goal become more real. Just talking about it keeps your goal in the realm of dreams; it needs action to become a reality.

2.Make enough money to leave your job and become independent.

First,ask yourself why you want to leave the job. Are you just bored, hate the boss or need to prove something to yourself? Before you spend the time and energy to get prepared to make trading your primary means of income, you absolutely need to examine your deep motivations for making a change from the security of a paycheck to the uncertainties of an uneven income stream.

3. Optimize excess available cash.

Many successful businesses hold their profits in the form of excess cash sitting in low yielding bank accounts. These company assets sitting idle should be doing some work. The low yields offered by safe yet liquid investments are a losing proposition.Real inflation is way beyond what is spun-out of the financial media
and having all your company assets in safe and liquid investments is a poor default choice.

4.You just want a hobby that combines learning and the possibility of being rewarded.

Trading has the real-world appeal of being a game where something valuable and tangible is at stake. You don’t need to call up friends to play cards or take a trip to Las Vegas. For those who like to constantly be learning new things and involved in a super dynamic atmosphere, trading can be just the thing. It can be played anywhere and at anytime.

5.You like your job but need to develop another income stream.

The investing world makes it very realistic to participate in the markets 24/7. For example, one of the best times to trade currencies is after 5pm eastern time. That’s when the currency markets close in New York and there is about a five hour hiatus in the currency markets until the London markets open. It’s a perfect time for some one in the U.S. to take positions.

If i want to start my own website offering stock tips for a monthly subscription, what if any is my own personal financial risk. I can see someone blaming me for losing money. How could i protect myself.

Well, more and more people are becoming interested in earning additional income through currency trading. They say that it is user friendly, easy to install, and you can actually set it and let it go, just as advertised. If you are cautious, you can invest smaller amounts at a time, and then bank the profits.

I've read a lot about Forex, but I've never seen a proven profitable forex strategy, despite the claims of some scam web sites.

Playing Forex can appear alluring, but the majority of people who try it lose money. All you have to do is do a web search on the words "Forex" and "lose" to see this is the consensus.

Forex is what we call a "zero sum" game. You are making a bet with someone else about whether a currency will rise or fall. For every winner there has to be a loser. If you are smarter than the average player, you may make money. If you are dumber than the average player, you are likely to lose money. Most of the people making the "bets" in Forex are highly trained professionals at banks and other institutions. You are unlikely to beat them at this game.

Actually Forex is not quite a zero sum game. It's a slightly negative sum game as the Forex broker takes a small percentage each time in the spread. It's a small amount but over a hundred trades, it ends up being a considerable amount of money. So the average player is likely to lose money, and remember the average player is a highly trained professional and probably smarter than you.

There is a lot of luck in Forex, and if you play it, you will have some periods of time where you make money. This is usually because you are having a lucky streak, not because you have suddenly become an expert Forex player. However, most people are unwilling to admit their success is due to luck. They become convinced they have a system that works, and lose a lot of money trying to refine it.

Further complicating the problem is the large number of Forex scams on the internet. Most Forex websites are of questionable honesty. You will find many people on the Internet that claim they made a lot of money using Forex. They are usually liars trying to make money. They will say: "Go to Forexcrap,com/q2347." The "q2347" is a signal to the Forexcrap site that you are being referred to them by "q2347." If they sell something to you, "q2347" gets a kickback. These coded signals can be hidden by different methods in the link. Other people will refer you to their own private website or blog for the purpose of trying to get money off you. Also there are a good number of trolls out there that like to pretend they are successful forex traders just for the fun of it.

I would recommend not trying to do Forex at all, unless you are a trained professional. It's like playing poker with people better than you, with the house constantly taking a small percentage from the pot.
