There is a lot of information out there for FOREX currency trading beginner. If you have decided that your ultimate goal is to become an expert foreign exchange trader, you should take a look at some must-have information. The first thing that should concern you is to find out what exactly FOREX is all about.

To say the least, the market for FOREX is one of the biggest in the world. Even the stock market which many think is already quite big does not quite measure up. Even if the futures market is taken together with the stock market, the FOREX market would still have a bigger amount of money being traded everyday. .

In the past, the market was a playing field only for the big shots who could present millions of dollars before they were allowed to trade. Today, the presence of online trading companies has opened the FOREX market to those who do not have millions but could afford to dish out thousands of dollars as beginner traders.

FOREX trading involves people buying and selling different currencies of the world. To be exact, every time you trade, you buy one currency while selling another. This is because currency trading always involves pairs. Thus, quotes of currencies will come in one currency paired with another. The major players include the U.S. dollar and the Canadian dollar (USD/CAD), the Euro and the U.S. dollar (EUR/USD), the U.S. dollar and the yen (USD/JPY) and the Australian dollar and the U.S. dollar (AUD/USD).

There are many advantages to trading in the FOREX market. The transactions are fast because everything is electronic. You also are assured that there are often people who would want to trade with you. This is simply because there are so many people who are trading everyday and every hour of the day. You can buy and sell at anytime whenever you want to.

One other attractive aspect of currency trading is leverage. Your leverage capabilities are simply huge with a nearly unbelievable ratio of 200:1. With very minimal initial cash you can already manage a large amount of currency. This is probably the main reason why the market is quite attractive for those who want to increase their earnings impressively.

It is wrong however, to think that you can immediately get rich in FOREX trading. People can lose too in currency trading. Those who do are often those who act impulsively with the hopes of getting rich instantaneously. If you do not take the time to learn the inner wheels of FOREX trading and the technical aspects of leveraging, then you could lose everything you have put into currency trading.

As a FOREX currency trading beginner, the best way to make sure that you have a rewarding and fulfilling experience with currency trading is to prepare yourself before diving into actual trading. If you are a small-time online investor, you can pick an online company that can help you learn. Many of them will allow you to first practice trading with imaginary currencies without any substantial cost or loss to you. Position yourself as a beginner and learn from the seasoned player, you will have a good chance of becoming an expert in this field.

Recently at a convention on FOREX Hedging there were people in the audience who had spent as much as 80,000 or more on trading courses. None of them had any success with trying to predict trends as directional traders. Most lost a lot of money in the process.

Apparently there are about 250,000 FOREX traders. I would guess that 98% of them are directional traders. Yes, 250,000 traders in a 3.2 Trillion/day market while there are 144 Million stock traders in a much smaller market place. The New York stock exchange is about 30 million a day and comes nowhere near the liquidity of the decentralized FOREX market.

So, why so few are hedging the FOREX market? I believe this is mostly because of a lack of a system that consistently works.

Most directional traders with any experience have thought of hedging the market but most come to the conclusion the hedge just cancels itself out over time. So, most just give up on it not knowing how to make it work. But, what if, instead of zeroing out all profits you could actually double your profits with the hedge?

Let’s take the EURUSD and the CHFUSD pairs.

These pairs are historically negatively 93-98% of the time. That is when one pair goes up the other goes down, and vice versa, up to 98% of the time. Now, over time these would pretty much just cancel each other out and you would not be left with much of a profit and maybe would even see a slight loss if the hedge was not in your favor.

Now what if you could ALWAYS buy low when one pair went down and sell high when the other correlated pair went up? And when the market corrected do the same in the opposite direction over and over and over again?

This is how I ‘trade’ the market. Really it is more like ‘investing’ since I do not look at charts, do no analysis of markets, care very little about fundamentals as long as the hedge is sticking. I also only spend about 5-15 minutes a week resetting my buy and sell limits. The rest is done automatically.

Now, that is the ONE of the ways that I build my equity. The other is daily interest paid at special negotiated rates from some of the biggest brokers in the US and Switzerland. Not all brokers are alike in the rates that they pay even though they are based on the rates set by the respective central banks.

Because the system I use is so consistent and works so well the brokers are not only willing to bend over backwards to give us the best interest rates available they are also willing to give us 400:1 leveraging. Some brokers extend this 400:1 leveraging up to one million dollars. Note that no other system to my knowledge gets this kind of leverage on that kind of money. It is a first in FOREX retail history and there is a good reason why.

Now, at first blush you may think that 400:1 leveraging is increasing our risk. In directional trading it certainly would be putting you in grave danger of losing your capital all that much quicker.

But, in fact, when you hedge the market as we do 400:1 leverage actually DECREASES your risk. Hence, the brokers are quite happy to provide this kind of leverage for this style of trading because it actually reduces the risk of a margin call and it makes the brokers that much more money.

Now, why is 400:1 so important to hedging the market in the way we do it? Well, because of the daily interest!

Let’s take an example and say you have $5000 in your trading account and a 10% margin set.

That means you have $500 allocated to the market. If the net interest we receive is 1.11% annually then this would not be a lot of money. We could do better at the bank! …well maybe…

But, what happens when this $500 is leveraged at 400:1? All of a sudden this 1.11% interest becomes 44% per annum! Now, I am sure you would agree that this is a return worth looking at and that most money managers would sell their mothers for this kind of return!

But, this return does not include the buy low/sell high profits. Add these all together and you have a system that on fairly conservative margin can produce very handsome and consistent profits without risking your shirt and without needing to sit in front of a computer all day and night watching charts until you go cross-eyed.

There is one more way that equity can increase or decrease. That is via the market fluctuations in the hedge. Sometimes the hedge will work in your favor and sometimes it will go against you. When it is in your favor you can see windfall profits beyond the daily interest and buy and selling process. If it goes against you it will cause a pullback in your equity for a period of time.

Compounding is also possible. When your balance and equity increase significantly over time your margin is going down. That means it is getting more conservative and safer if you just let it grow. But, if you want to keep your margin at say 10% then you can reallocate your portfolio and buy more lots which bring more interest and more buy low/sell profits.

Now, if you think that daily interest at 400:1 and 100% winning transactions makes sense what would you think if we could smooth out the fluctuations that give us the big profits and big pullbacks, i.e. volatility?

Well, we could up our margin could we not? We could increase our margin without incurring much more risk and in fact may even be able to reduce it when we hedge the hedge. The net result means more interest, more profit, and less risk while freeing up our time to spend the money we are making instead of ignoring our family stuck to a chart on a screen.

Presently such an enhancement is in testing and may soon to be released to the public if tests are successful. If you want to keep updated on this new development be sure to subscribe to my update list.

By learning how to HEDGE the FOREX you not only increase your profit and reduce your risk. You can also get a life! That to me is the most attractive part of this whole system.

The great thing is it is not difficult to learn either. I personally coach people in the system I use and it usually takes a couple of hours and about 10 minutes a week to monitor before my students are on their own.

Imagine having no experience of forex trading, being trained for 14 days and you then went on to make millions – sounds far fetched? Well, it happened in the 1980s in one of the most famous trading experiments of all time which is enclosed and should become part of your essential forex education.

In the nineteen eighties, trading legend Richard Dennis wanted to prove a point and the point was simple:

It doesn’t matter what you do, how intelligent you are, if your young, old male or female, you can become a successful trader, if you have the right mindset and a willingness to learn.

He set out to prove his point.

He gathered a group of people who met the above criteria and they included:

An actor, a security guard, a kid fresh from school and a female auditor – diverse they were but they were all about to get a trading education.

In 14 days, Dennis taught them to trade and set them up with live accounts and they went on to make hundreds of millions of dollars and go down in trading history.

This group was nicknamed “the turtles” and proved Dennis right – anyone could learn to trade with the right education and the right attitude.

That’s interesting you may say… but 95% of traders lose, so how come this group was so successful?

The answer lies in the way they learned.

They learned a simple long term trend following trading system (essentially a breakout system) and it was so simple anyone could understand it. It’s a fact also, that simple trading systems always work best, because they have fewer elements to break than complicated ones.

Now Dennis didn’t just say off you go and trade – he rammed home why it worked, gave strict money management rules and made sure they would be prepared to trade it with discipline, to achieve success.

The above is the important part.

Learning a trading system is not enough, you need to execute it with discipline and take loss after short term loss, without quitting and then profits follow. You need to take losses to win and stay on course.

To trade you need to follow your system with discipline and you need confidence to do this. He taught them to stand on their own two feet and appreciate – learning a trading system is easy – executing it with discipline is the hard bit.

You can learn from someone else – but you have to make the system work for you!

Most traders can’t do this, they like to ask experts, trade worthless robots with simulated track records, or believe drawdowns don’t last and trading is easy and they all lose.

Trading is all about having the mindset to succeed and to execute a plan. Most traders are to lazy or naïve to do this and most think forex trading is easy. Well, when big money is on the line and to be earned – it’s not easy. However, there is a big difference between something being easy and something being achievable.

Sure you might not become as successful as the above group life simply isn’t like that but the opportunity is there – they did it you could to.

Even if you don’t achieve such great success, you can find success which more than makes up for the effort you have to put into your forex trading.

Sure forex trading is not a walk in the park, it’s a challenge but accept it – work hard, have the mindset to succeed and you can find success – it’s up to you.

What is Forex?

Well, for starters, it is exactly what the name implies, FOR-EX (foreign exchange). This is the exchange between the world’s current fluctuating currencies. And even if you have never heard of it, the forex market is the largest and most liquid market in the world, including participation by large or central banks,large corporations, and many governments. As well they should be involved, because the last report by the Bank for International Settlement stated the average daily traded amount to be close to $4 trillion(USD).

Now that we know this is an enormous market, did you know that you, as an individual can trade on the foreign exchange market? Yes, its true, and if you play your cards right, you can make money. And not just a little bit to go on vacation, we are talking retirement sums of money. But be careful my friend, like the stock market, there are no guarantee’s and you could possibly lose money. But hey without great risk there will not be great gain!

Trading forex is fairly simple today because of the numerous companies offering great trading platforms and even automatic forex trading systems. If you need more help than that, or prefer talking and training with forex professionals, you can try the many private forex membership clubs. I’ve heard great things about them personally. Its hard to find good 1 on 1 forex training from reputable professionals at a decent price.

With the opportunities available in trading forex, why not give it shot? It’s much larger and faster than the stock market, and you have easy access to software and clubs to get you started. There are no down times in the market, because that’s what you play off, if one countries economy is down, that just means another is that much more valuable! And if you spot these trends, it can payoff big time. On top of that,on every major trading platform available, you’ll get a free demo account, to practice what you learn with current prices and markets, without risking your own money! So you can be fully ready to trade before your money is even involved.

If you want to get started you need to get yourself some good training. I personally found Forex Brotherhood to be everything I needed and more. I learned how to trade forex like a pro, by watching and learning from them. Whatever you choose, I wish you the best of luck in your forex career!
