Technical Analyzer

The Technical Analyzer provides trading signals based on three different methods: Japanese candlestick charts, market momentum changes, and traditional support and resistance levels. Both Japanese candlestick charts and market momentum changes are useful in predicting reversals in market direction. Traditional support and resistance lines are great tools for trading trending markets. Combining these three approaches together is intended to create an incredibly powerful and predictive tool.

The Technical Analyzer is actively updated as the market moves, with updates occurring dozens of times a day. While many services update their recommendations once a day or once per market session, the trading ideas from the Technical Analyzer are fresh and actionable.

The Technical Analyzer is more than a bunch of computer code. There are human market technicians behind every trading idea. While programmers are getting better at copying human decision making abilities, they are not perfect - particularly in understanding how to apply the right set of technical analysis rules to analyze a particular market.

The Technical Analyzer is completely transparent in how it develops trading ideas, as well as entry and exit points. With every trading idea, there is a chart of the currency pair with technical lines full drawn and an explanation of the trade. Even if you don’t use the trade, the analysis behind the trade is available for your benefit.

noreply@blogger.com (si Joe) — Tue, 22 Aug 2006 10:10:00 +0000

Forex-Trader's Top Picks for
Getting Started Forex Trading (FROM : FOREX-TRADER)

We have outlined the process here in uncomplicated steps. Our links take you to specific 'Top Pick' products and services chosen (solely at our discretion) to help getting started to be as easy, unintimidating and straightforward as possible. Our hope is that this will give you a jump-start -- past the trial and error of inferior, gouging, or user-unfriendly products -- thereby decreasing the learning-curve time and increasing trading ability from the first. You will also find numerous discounts and bonus' (thanks to forex-trader volume) have been prearranged for you if you choose to go this route.
Recommended Computer System Requirements:
This an outline of the minimum requirements necessary to operate your 'trading station'. If your needs extend to viewing multiple monitors, surfing the net simultaneously etc. additional requirements would be needed.

Windows 2000, XP, ME (or more recent)
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 (or more recent)
Pentium III or IV (or equivalence)
256 MB RAM or greater
20 MB of free disk space
Back-up Device (Zip, Tape, CD-WR, etc.)
Cable Modem, DSL, ISDN, T1 or T3 Highspeed Internet Connection
An Internet Service Provider (ISP)
Printer

1. Read as many books on the subject of Forex Trading as you can. A good beginning (or a good refresher) would be either of Cornelius Luca's Books: "Trading in the Global Currency Markets", or "Technical Analysis in the Foreign Currency Market" with CD-ROM. If you are a rank and file beginner you may want to begin with the basics, "An Introduction to Foreign Currency Exchange Markets". Many of these books are expensive -- just consider it tuition and never consider shortchanging yourself in receiving the full value of your ongoing trader education. This education from experts is invaluable. Determine from the start that you, like successful traders (and all successful people) will have an extensive, constantly updated and growing library.

2. Choose your learning style and make arrangements to receive the best you can afford in quality Forex training:

a) Online Training
b) CD-Rom Training Courses
(especially when combined with Live Professional Trading Session Chatrooms)
c) Seminar Group Training
d) One on One Mentoring (in your home/office)

We have learned trading using all the above learning methods, and have found value in each. While books are essential for foundation building, online training and similar CD-ROM courses are useful for mastering the basics in an applied way . Seminar group interaction was useful for clearing away obstacles and developing hands-on trading skill. The ultimate experience for us was one-on-one mentoring over a two+ day period in our own home/office, at our own computers. Being Mentored can provide a quantum leap for mastering consistently profitable trading (and for only slightly more than group seminars). Expect to pay $1,000 up for online training up to $5,000 or more for one-on-one mentoring. It is reasonable to set expectations and goals to recover this cost (potentially many times over) in the first months of dedicated trading.

3. Subscribe to a Charting Software system, while you are reading and training so that you can clearly understand the market activity as it relates to what you are learning. Our example below illustrates live-data candlestick charting software with technical analysis indicators.

Charting is an up-to-the-minute snapshot of foreign exchange activity that is indispensable for seeing the movements of currencies and determining buy and sell transactions. You can get a free trial 2 week (or more) charting subscription. Professional Charting Subscriptions offer many more tools and advantages than the free charting software that Clearinghouses often offer as an incentive to encourage new traders. Professional charting is an ongoing 'cost of doing business', plan to pay $100 to $250 / month for independent charting service. Discounts are sometimes available through training companies or brokerage houses.

4. Obtain a Trading Platform with Free Demo Account from a Clearinghouse/Brokerage firm (one you expect to continue on with. After you have learned platform trading skills you fund your trading account with real money). The 'Free Demo' is the actual trading platform (also called a trade station). It is a live-data-feed, real-time professional trading platform, provided to you so you can learn how to perform actual foreign currency trades (based on information you discern from your charting software, trading advisories etc.). On this Trading Platform, you make actual buy/sells (trades) with your $50K demo (play money) account.

This free Trading Platform, attached to a demo play-money account, is intended to introduce you to forex trading in an authentic way. It will usually expire in 30 days unless you opt to fund a (real money) account before that time. If you would like to maintain a demo account to continue to practice on while you concurrently go 'live' with your real-money account, your clearinghouse will likely oblige your request. Since a Clearinghouse typically makes a small profit on each buy or sell transaction (the spread) be wary of any no upfront costs to open an account to begin forex self-trading, and no commissions should be charged. The trick is to find a Brokerage with 'tight' spreads but also other features advantageous to a trader. Other than the spread, which is automatically deducted with each trade, there should be no operating costs associated with using any particular Brokerage's trading platform.

5. Provide yourself with the best Forex Advisory subscriptions that you can afford. Daily forecasts based on technical analysis and other indicators of forex market activity are an incalcuable advantage to predicting market moves. Plan on paying $75.00 up for a good subscription. This will provide a good cross-reference for the buy/sell indicators you are learning to identify. Also, make it habit to check CNN.com to keep your finger on the pulse of world events that are fundamental indicators in themselves.

6. As time goes on you may want to play with some of the interesting specialty forecasting software out there. It is continually being developed, as traders search for trade-fail-proof artificial intelligence forecasting. We are in the habit of reviewing and test-driving them as they debut. If one shows up that we have a good experience with you can find it here.

7. Practice, practice, practice. Begin by consistently achieving 4 positive 4-pip demo-trades per day. Imagine that your first serious goal will be to accomplish 50 positive trades in a row. On the day that happens, keep the printout of that historical event, because in the forex industry it is at that point you are considered to have 'what is takes' to begin to become a Forex Trading Mentor yourself -- if you so choose. Mentors, as you might suspect, are very much in demand in this time of rapidly expanding interest in self-trading. Mentoring could represent a satisfying and lucrative extra income stream for you, but, equally as important, mentoring has shown itself to be very instrumental in a trader's personal ongoing development --we learn best what we teach.

We love to see the milestone print-outs of 50-in-a-row traders, and welcome receiving them by fax at: 1-928-447-2978. There is a Hall of Fame being started for these achievers if you are interested. It is worth knowing that this kind of authentically documented trading record can also be a helpful third-party validation for those traders wishing to expand into the role of a Professional Trader trading funds for their clientele, either as an independent trader or a corporate trader.

TAMBAHAN FOREX TIPS Dari ValasOnline

noreply@blogger.com (si Joe) — Sun, 06 Aug 2006 14:10:00 +0000

Untuk per transaksi dari Trading Valas (Forex) anda gunakanlah maximum quantity contract size yang dianjurkan yaitu sebesar 5x modal anda. (atau paling maximal 10x modal anda untuk penggunaan teknik ini)
karena dengan quantity contract size yang sebesar 5x modal anda, maka floating open posisi dari transaksi anda akan sanggup menahan dan aman hingga 1900 point (dalam arti kalau total loss anda -1900 pips, maka anda baru akan terkena margin call atau diliquidasi)
Rumus Ketahanan Point = ( (modal equity - (total quantity contract size x 1%)) / total quantity contract size ) x 10000

Contoh: Modal awal anda $100 , maka maximum quantity contract size yang anda inputkan untuk trading anda (per transaksinya) = 500 , Bila modal anda $1000 maka quantity contract size yang dianjurkan adalah 5000, dan seterusnya.
Setelah itu, bertransaksilah dengan cara berikut :

Dalam tips ini menggunakan contoh trading pada mata uang EUR/USD, GBP/USD dan USD/CHF

LANGKAH-LANGKAHNYA YAITU:
1. Bersiap-siaplah untuk trading pada saat jam menunjukkan sekitar pk.17.00-18.00 WIB (GMT +7), karena pada saat itu pergerakan range harga HIGH (titik tertinggi hari itu) dan LOW (titik terendah hari itu) biasanya sudah matang.
Catatan: Titik HIGH dan LOW dihitung sejak jam 4.00 pagi WIB (sejak pasar Australia / New Zealand dibuka)

2. Bila disaat jam-jam tersebut jarak Running Price ke titik HIGH maupun ke LOW lebih besar dari 10 point dan juga jarak Range harga HIGH - LOW masih dibawah 70 pips (paling bagus kalau dibawah 60 pips), maka pasanglah perintah automatic order (di kolom price type: pilih yang BUKAN Market), yaitu BUY dan Price Type di: STOP (BUY STOP) di titik HIGH, dan SELL STOP di titik LOW. Dengan komposisi Take Profit (atau Exit Target) di 10 pips (atau boleh 20 pips) dan Stop Loss di 30 pips (atau maximum 50 pips, tergantung keadaan) -> TP: 10, SL: 30.
KETERANGAN: Untuk mata uang GBP/USD jarak HIGH - LOW bisa dibawah 90 pips dan boleh memakai TP: 20, SL: 40. Karena pergerakan harga GBP/USD lebih tinggi daripada mata uang lainnya.
(Komposisi diatas dapat berubah tergantung oleh situasi, dan harus dipantau supaya maximum hasilnya dengan cara mengatur target dan stopnya sesuai keadaan, serta perhatikan pula titik harga psikologisnya -> Support & Resistance).

ATAU Anda juga boleh menggunakan langkah no.2 ini sebelum berita penting muncul yaitu bisa diterapkan sekitar 30 menit sebelum berita dikeluarkan (lihat tabel tentang "15 berita yang paling berpengaruh" dibawah ini). Dan target profitnya boleh diatas 20-50 pips bahkan 100 pips keatas, tergantung dengan seberapa pentingnya berita tersebut dan hasil laporannya. Untuk jadwal berita dapat anda lihat di: Bloomberg.com di bagian "Market Data : Economic Calendar".
TIPS: Jika kekuatan modal anda sanggup untuk menahan lebih dari 2000 point, maka anda boleh untuk tidak memakai stop loss (SL: 0), atau dalam arti posisi anda boleh untuk di-floating jangka panjang (long term) supaya dapat menggapai profit yang lebih tinggi (TP diatas 50 pips). Untuk floating long term ini anda harus mempelajari teknikal trend chart daily agar tidak terjadi pengambilan posisi yang terlalu tinggi ataupun terlalu rendah. (CATATAN: Floating Loss Long Term ini tidak dianjurkan bagi para trader / investor yang belum berpengalaman)

CONTOH PENGGUNAAN FOREX TRAPPING: Jam 17.00 WIB, mata uang GBP/USD, dengan target profit (TP): 10 pips, stop loss: 30 pips (TP: 10, SL: 30). Dan data posisi HIGH saat itu=1.7500, LOW=1.7440, Maka pasanglah automatic order BUY, Price Type: STOP (BUY STOP) di titik 1.7500 (High) dan SELL STOP di titik 1.7440 (Low). Exit Target (TP) dari BUY STOP di 1.7510 (1.7500+10 pips), Stop Loss dari BUY STOP di 1.7470 (1.7500-30 pips). Exit Target (TP) dari SELL STOP di 1.7430 (1.7440-10 pips), Stop Loss dari SELL STOP di 1.7470 (1.7440+30 pips)

Mengapa hal ini ? karena nanti pada saat jam pasar New York dibuka, maka kita bisa menangkap peluang pergerakan US Dollar yang sedang melambung ataupun menurun. Tetapi bila di jam tersebut (pk.17.00-18.00 WIB) range harga HIGH-LOW sudah diatas 70 pips, maka sebaiknya berhati-hati karena running bisa tidak menyentuk titik HIGH ataupun LOW secara maximal disaat jam pasar new york buka nanti, sehingga target profit kita harus dikurangi dan dipantau, supaya tidak terlewati dan berbalik menjadi loss.

CATATAN: Untuk mencapai target profit biasanya tidak bisa langsung dan anda harus bersabar serta memantau running price hingga biasanya pk.24.00 WIB malam (bahkan kadang bisa lebih atau kurang). Karena kadang ada berita fundamental yang berpengaruh signifikan terhadap running price di jam-jam tersebut. Serta pakailah petunjuk dari Economic Calendar dan Market Data di Bloomberg sebelum anda melakukan order, karena teknik ini sangat efektif digunakan di saat pasar USDollar berindikasi untuk bergerak secara signifikan terhadap mata uang lainnya.
(Kalau pasar berindikasi untuk bergerak flat atau stabil di hari tersebut / tidak ada jadwal berita penting yang terjadi, maka sebaiknya JANGAN order posisi dulu dengan teknik ini, karena bisa loss)
3. PERLU DIPERHATIKAN: Bila salah satu automatic order sudah aktif, jangan lupa untuk membatalkan posisi yang lainnya yg masih belum aktif tersebut (bisa dengan cara men-set duration type selama 1 hari saja).
Atau jika anda ada memasang perintah otomatis untuk posisi Hedging (open posisi secara berlawanan di mata uang yg sama), jangan lupa untuk membatalkannya juga bila anda sudah berhasil men-take profit atau terkena stop loss.

CATATAN: Bila hingga keesokan harinya (lewat pk.04.00 WIB) ada posisi yang belum teraktifkan (pending order), maka segeralah untuk dibatalkan juga, dan ulangi tahapan langkah-langkah diatas untuk pengambilan posisi baru pada hari ini

Forex trading is conducted in the foreign exchange market, otherwise referred to as the forex or FX market. This is the largest financial market in the world, with an estimated daily average turnover well in excess of US$1 trillion. A foreign exchange rate is the relationship between two currencies, which means the amount of one currency that would be required to buy (or sell) one unit of another currency. Currencies are quoted in pairs, e.g. Euro/US$ = EUR/USD, US$/Japanese Yen = USD/JPY, etc. Forex trading involves a foreign exchange transaction, defined as the simultaneous buying of one currency and selling of another currency. The foreign exchange market entered a new phase in 1971 when the Bretton Woods accord, which was characterized by fixed forex trading rates, was abandoned. This led to a new forex trading system of floating rates and opened a new world in foreign exchange. Forex trading is said to be a 24-hour, 5 day a week market, starting each day in Wellington, NZ and then moving around the globe as the business day commeneces in the next financial center. This rotation includes Tokyo, London, and New York. This allows foreign exchange market participants to react to news, whether it be economic political or social, 24 hours per day. Unlike other markets, such as stocks or futures, forex trading does not involve a central exchange and is considered to be an over the counter market known as the interbank market. Most forex transactions are conducted between two counterparties via the telephone or over an electronic network, such as the internet. Forex trading, once the province of commercial, investment and central banks has evolved over the years as other players took on a greater role in foreign exchange. This has seen forex trading evolve as multi-national companies, hedge funds, fund managers, individual speculators and private investors took on a greater influence. The evolution of the internet has further opened forex trading to the independent currency trader who can follow the market on a 24-hour basis and trade foreign exchange online. Factors that have attracted the retail currency traders to forex trading include the ability to trade 24 hours, 5 days per week, a high level of foreign exchange market liquidity, the ability to benefit in both bull and bear markets, narrow bid-offered spreads by historical standards, low margin requirements and general market volatility. On the other hand, anyone considering forex trading should first carefully evaluate the risks beforehand. Jay Meisler, a partner in Global-View.com, says one problem of trading with too-high leverage is that one piece of surprise news can wipe out one's capital. "Those who treat forex trading as if they were in a casino will see the same long-term results as when they go to Las Vegas," he says, adding: "If you treat forex trading like a business, including proper money management, you have a better chance of success."

Effective Forex Trading for Beginners
By Michael Russell

Foreign exchange trading is gradually becoming an activity for men and women seeking financial freedom without the hassles of a conventional job or the headache and disappointment that comes with Internet marketing. The most appealing part of this business is the financial freedom it promises with very minimal effort, once the initial efforts involved with learning the intrigues and tricks necessary for successful trading is over. It is an open secret that successful traders make huge amount of money within a very short trading period, but the constant flux of activities in this business makes it rather daunting for the novice trader.

For the uninitiated, forex trading involves buying and selling the different currencies of the world. Forex trading is in many ways different from the stock market. The currency deals are always done in pairs like the USD/Euro or the USD/GBP. It is said that the foreign exchange market, shortened to forex, is the largest market in the world. It is estimated that over $2 trillion deals are made in the forex market every day. With the forex market you will never have to create a product, advertise anything or sell anything to anybody. You just have to invest some money and multiply it.

Forex trading is a simple and easy trading business; this is evident from the influx of new traders into the scene on daily basis. Unlike in the early days when it required huge investment to start forex trading, the trading of present times can be done with just a computer connected to the Internet and a few bucks in the comfort of your home. It doesn't require you to pay any huge fee to any professional. Almost every transaction can be done online in your spare time, except if you want to make it a full time career.

But with all the simplicity, the fact is that the forex trading is a very risky business. It requires a lot of knowledge and skill to trade profitably. As a beginner you should realize that forex trading is not an income rather, it is an investment. Therefore, knowing the right time to invest is a key to success. The risk involved with trading is always buffered by various trading strategies and there are numerous brokers to help with trading. It is a wise thing to research very well and consider all the various brokers' system available to you before making your choice. It is also better to start investing with little amounts, to be sure you won't be knocked down financially by a loss.

There are also several tools online to make trading effective and profitable for beginners. Some forex trading software can help you analyze market conditions; they take the burden of making the decisions about the right time for investment off your shoulders. By analyzing market conditions, these programs help you find the right investment opportunities enabling you to make right investment decisions.

The risk involved with forex trading can also be considerably reduced by using effective trading systems and money management strategies. Getting an effective trading system is another issue, though. Many companies and individuals are online with different systems, each claiming to be exactly what you want. Some researching and comparisons will get you a trading system that will work well for you, although, you have to be sure the company selling you the trading system is willing to continuously support you during the learning and trying periods and also to refund your money if their product does not deliver on their promises. While on the personal angle, you should learn, as a trader to remove emotions from trading. Make your investment decisions wisely, without sentiment. The whole idea of forex trading is based on the constant fluctuations in currency, testing different systems and money management strategies and also making wise business decision will help you to invest right and profitably.

Forex Beginner Questions About Forex Trading

noreply@blogger.com (si Joe) — Sat, 04 Aug 1990 19:45:00 +0000

Forex Beginner Questions About Forex Trading

The Forex, or foreign currency exchange, is all about money. Money from all over the world is bought, sold and traded. On the Forex, anyone can buy and sell currency and with possibly come out ahead in the end. When dealing with the foreign currency exchange, it is possible to buy the currency of one country, sell it and make a profit. For example, a broker might buy a Japanese yen when the yen to dollar ratio increases, then sell the yens and buy back American dollars for a profit.

The Forex and the stock market have some similarities, in that it involves buying and selling to make a profit, but there are some differences. Unlike the stock market, the Forex has a much high liquidity. This means, much more money is changing hands everyday. Another key difference when comparing the Forex to the stock market is that the Forex has no place where it is exchanged and it never closes. The Forex involved trading between banks and brokers all over the world and provides twenty-four hour access during the business week.

Another difference between the stock market and the Forex is that Forex trading has much higher leverage that the stock market. When someone decides to invest in the Forex, they can expect much higher profits when they are experienced and understand how it works. There can also be the potential for losing much more money as well.

For those who are just getting started in the Forex, many brokers provide the service of trading using the mini-Forex system. This has a smaller minimum deposit, usually $100. This makes it easier for those learning how to trade on the Forex to have less of a chance of losing a lot of money and to learn how the system works.

There is a lot of terminology when dealing with the Forex. Learning to trade on the Forex can be somewhat complicated for the novice trader. When looking at the names used in the Forex, a symbol is composed of two parts. The first one that is used is one currency and the second half of the symbol is the second currency that is being used. The symbol “usdjpy” means “US dollars” and Japanese yen. It is important to learn what currency symbols mean when learning about the Forex. There are many books and websites dedicated on teaching traders about using the Forex.

For those using the Forex, a broker is usually a good idea. Brokers are professionals when it comes to trading on the Forex and their experience is invaluable, especially to the new trader. When it is time to find a broker, there are several factors to consider. One thing to look for when choosing a Forex broker is to go with someone that offers low spreads. The spread is calculated in pips, or the difference between the price at which currency can be purchased and the price it can be sold at any given time. Because Forex brokers do not charge a commission, they will make their money off of the spreads, or the difference. When choosing a broker, look at this information and compare that with other brokers.

Also, when looking at a Forex broker, look for one that is backed by a well known financial institution. Forex bankers are generally associated with large banks or other types of financial institutions. If a broker is not with a large bank, keep looking. In addition, find a broker that is registered with the Futures Commission Merchant (FCM) and that is regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Making sure that the broker is properly registered and backed by a large bank or institution ensures that you are getting a reliable broker that is experienced in trading on the Forex.

When looking for a broker, check to be certain that the broker has access to the latest research tools and data. It is important that brokers understand and have access to charts, graphs, news and data that are in real time. This will ensure that the broker is making wise decisions based on accurate Forex forecasting. Also, look for a broker that can offer a wide range of account options. They should offer mini-accounts with a smaller minimum deposits and a standard account. This will give anyone interested in the Forex the opportunity to trade at a level where they feel most comfortable.
