After You Read This You Won't Have To Turn Off Your Mobile Data Again.

If turning off your mobile data is the best means of saving and conserving your consumable data till the next recharge date then you need not worry any more.

Mobile Data on hand held devices or smartphones such as iPhone, Android, Windows phone or Symbian has afford a whole lot of people easy assess to the Internet world and keeping that assess alive is a difficult task for most people as the phone and the apps loaded on them makes expensive usage of the data.

One major downside to data use on these smartphones is the heavy downloads though there's upload, the download by all means outweighs the upload although most people are not aware of the upload activities of their phones.

The way to manage mobile data is not in turning off the data but in the effective management of the apps consuming the data. Rather turning off the data and miss such time critical messages, important online calls, loved ones chat messages or even business emails you can control the activities of the apps themselves.

Do I hear you ask, "how do I control the apps?" its easy. Effectively you're not able to monitor and /or control these apps in themselves but you could use other apps specifically design to do such activities.

Effectively, every app can be managed to obtain the best of its output. Facebook remains the most active app on most smartphones so we'll use it as our main app. Although quite a handful of people uses instagram for their businesses yet it too can be controlled although it's designed to carry heavy data across the platform where it's used.

Almost every smartphone comes pre-installed with a utility app, these apps control junks, empty folder disposal, ram cleaner or booster as the name may be.

Some of these apps are "Mr. Clean, AIO cleaner, DU Booster, just to mention a few, all these do a great job of cleaning and freeing up ram space to boost and maximize your browsing experience. That said, the evil with some of these apps lies not in what they claim to do business in what they secretly do when you're not looking.

Depending on the cleaner you use for your smartphone, some people have had such dirty experience of waking up to find all their data balance gone over night. When they least expected they wake up to discover the data balance of 3GB, 4GB, 2.3GB reduced to 0GB. This can really be frustrating as the data provider can prove almost all the time that you used up the data. The truth is the apps on the phone consumed the data.

So, for the boosters and cleaners the evil lies in what they do when you least expect.
Mobogenie for instance on your phone requires that you turn "ON" your phone app permission control.

It already has your permission to upload and download data when you install it hence even when you've installed it as an alternative to the Google play store it shouldn't be without strict permission control.

AIO meaning All In One cleaner also has the permission to introduce other apps from its maker such as AIO Browser, Downloader and such.

My recommendation for apps control and data management is the Purify app and the use of "app permission management located in Settings - Security - Device Administrator - App Permission (turn ON).

The Purify app does strictly what's it's created to accomplish on any smartphone either on an iPhone, Android, Windows phone.

The app helps to control other apps activities both on ram space usage and data consumption. It achieve every apps leaving unachieved the essential apps necessary for the smartphone running.
It works by compiling unnecessary apps seeking data and ram space use into a folder such that it quarantine their activities leaving you enough ram and data for your personal usage.

The app also helps fight bloatware but leaving you with the option to either remove or allow on in the phone.
The app can be installed on both rooted and unrooted smartphones. Although, you really don't need to know how to root a smartphone to use the app. Simply download, install and use no advance knowledge necessary but if you're good with smartphone schematic then you're good to go.

Enjoy your data and keep your phones online 24/7 without the fear of data loss or ram space congestion with Purify app. Purify app is available for iPhone on the Apple stores and on Google Play for Android also as an APK file click here.

Please be aware that you're responsible for your online downloads.

RUNAWAY EURO

2011-04-26T22:50:00.000+01:00

Recently, I wrote about the Euro getting set to replace the U.S. dollar as an international carry trade and as a reserve. The truth is "nothing just happens over night" a series of events would be required to make this happen, some of which would test the ability of the Euro to be a carry trade and check for lapses.
Well, this week the Euro has shown some strong resistance to news that should have pulled it down. The EMU yearly debt/GDP ratio with Greece leading the pack, followed by Ireland, Portugal and then Spain. Joel Kruger a strategist with Daily Fx, reported in his analysis that the debt for the Euro zone soared to a record high of 85.1% in 2010 from 79.3% in 2009. Amazingly, the Euro was unmoved on the news.
In performance, the Euro's relative performance against the USD on Tuesday stood at 0.23% at about 11.00GMT, while rallying to a 16 month peak before lossing momentum for the uptrend just above 1.4650.
How about enriching the vigilant investor,speculator and bankers all alike in exchange for their support in a quest for approval? the pair of EUR/USD might have resumed its bullish uptrend runs. Over the coming weeks, the next critical resistance by the 2009 highs at 1.5145 now looks open for profiting, so if you're trading and hoping to bank some profit of at least 500 pips, so long there is no break and close back below 1.4155 which would negate the bullish uptrend runs, then this is your opportunity.
Presently, daily studies reveals that there is enough room for the pair to run in this direction, a move which is well supported in case of any setback.
If for any reason you dont believe that this might eventually happen, why not check out the list of variouse institutions, ACBs buying the pair EUR/USD for diversification purposes, leverage names, Eastern European, middle eastern and russian keen buyers, this should prove something to any serious trader.
The time is high for changes, the Euro is geared up and ready to coastal along, will you be a part of the trend or would you rather go against it? Remember the saying,"the trend is your friend".

DOLLAR UNDER EURO OVER BUT NOT OUT.

2011-04-21T09:58:00.000+01:00

Performances of the pair EUR/USD in the forex market is revealing some interesting concept for investors and traders alike.
The poor performance of the U.S. dollar as against its other counterpart in the forex market is making the dollar a useful currency in carry trade because of its lower exchange. So that the dollar is fast becoming a dear to international traders for the cheaper exchange making trading alot easier. Meanwhile, the Euro on the other hand is raising in value making it hard to comeby and expensive for international trade.
Huh! a woe of two currency i'ld say, but what effect would the low value on the dollar have on the U.S. economy?

EURO OR DOLLAR WHICH WILL LEAD THE PACK

2011-04-17T14:56:00.000+01:00

There is a wave of events crouping across the globe that is very disturbing.
The pair of EUR/USD closed at around 1.4480 two weeks ago rather than moving ahead on the bulls afterward, a chain of events before the closing of trading week ended 15/04/2011, the pair closed within the range of the previouse week at about 1.4425 lossing 55pips in between the two weeks.
soverign debts are eating into the fabrics of the currencies rendering them unsafe for investments, but really what then can safe on a rainy day if the currencies are not safe even enough to claim some pips in themselves?
Where does the investors, bankers and speculators alike seek safety? can the Euro really become a safe haven for the investors? the dollar is fast eroding its ability to shield from loses with the Feds printing more money to protect the US economy from colapse.
The leaders of financial industry are gathering to pave a new way to channel the course of event for the future but will they be able to achieve their goal and implement their objective?.

PROFIT PITFALLS

2011-04-10T19:03:00.001+01:00

Profit or trade pitfall is a common issue among some traders. The feeling is good when your trade nets in profit on any pair you trade. Most newbeses traders and pros some times make the mistake of leaving a trade unclose over the weekends when the trade is in the money.
It is not all trades that can be left unclose. For instance, you've been having a series of bad trades for a while now but luck enough you got on the band wagon when a pair was trading in the money and you net some pips say 150pips in a single trade, now you're feeling cool with yourself about the new profit line and you're so confident that the trade will continue even when the market resumes. One fact you need to understand about the forex market is, no one and I mean no one can accurately predict the price action of the market the next moment, because you were able to score those pips after you got a signal that told you that the market will move 230 pips dont necessarily implies that the market will actually move those 230 pips before it reverses its action.
Price action have been studied over and over and all there exists for these studies are the formulars that came up afterwards.
These are the types of trades that can be left over the weekends.
LONG TERM TRADES: If your trade did not start when the pair took a major reversal either for the bulls or bear, then you definitely want to close every trade that has net you some good pips.
STRATEGIC TRADES: If your trade is not structure after some time tested trading method or automated trader which is able to close unwanted moves against your position or a method that guarranteed that the moves of the market is well provided for or that has an entry and exit strategy included.
WATCH OUT FOR
*WEEKEND ACTIVITIES
You must know that over the weekends alot of activities happens during the weekend which the market must factor into the new weeks trade, hence, you have GAPS which leads to a jump away from the previous close price and the new opening price. So you definitely want to avoid such traps and save yourself the pitfall.
*CARRYOVER COST: Every trading platform charge a cost for trades left over the weekends, such trade cost is deducted immediately the trading day starts again and usually, this cost is usually minimal or negligible when you have a trade in the money.
Trading platforms are designed to earn the operators some good money and whether you lose or profit, the platform will make money off your trades, so why incure losses when you can protect yourself and make profit.

EUR/USD: WINNERS AND LOSERS

2011-04-10T00:29:00.001+01:00

How do you compensate for losses when you ought be profitting? If you were trading off some currency other than the EUR/USD then i beg to say that you just missed some cool 200 pips plus last friday. Events from the past week had indicated that the EUR/USD was on the verge of a major bullish breakout, with price pushing aggressively above trend defining resistance line 1.4215 set from record high in mid july 2008. A breakout above this line further exposed the upsides at 1.4400. The pair broke above 1.4290 on friday soaring high to a one year high closing the move at the end of the day at 1.4480.
EUR/USD posted the highest weekly close since December 2009 raising for the second week in a row and posted a gain of more than 200 pips.
Trading forex is fun most especially when you know what to do when trading and keeping in touch with the spate of events globally.
For some weeks now, the Eurozone has been engulfed with the bail out issue initially from Greece, then Ireland and now Portugal. These bail outs when considered has its root in corruption by Government officials running these countries like private entreprises. The question is who gets to bear the effects of these bail outs?
If you are trading the pair you need understand how such major issues will impact on the pair, then consider the fiscal policies of the Eurozone.
About the time the Portugese Government made the appeal for the bail out the Euro rate hike impacted positively on the pair driving the Euro higher.
In the coming weeks ahead if quality fiscal policies merged with good fundamentals are employed, the Euro may just be gearing up for a move towards the 1.50 boundary.
You definitely dont want be hedging in the wrong pair.
