FOREX AND DAYTRADING

FOREX AND DAYTRADING
BY: FRANK HAGUE
online trading is great way for serious
investors to make money, but inexperienced
TRADERS OFTEN WIND UP WITH BIG LOSSES. A GOOD
set of instructions can minimize the risks and
save months of expensive trial-and-error
LEARNING.

day trading

day trading had its heyday during the bull
market of the 1990's. all the amateurs have
SINCE DROPPED OUT, BUT DAY TRADING IS STILL
being practiced by professionals. there are
fewer opportunities in the current market, but
SKILLED INVESTORS CAN STILL FIND THEM IF THEY
know what to look for.

FOREX TRADING

the foreign exchange market (forex), the world's
LARGEST FINANCIAL EXCHANGE MARKET, ORIGINATED IN
1973. it has a daily turnover of currency worth
more than $1.2 trillion dollars.

unlike many other securities, forex does not
trade on a fixed exchange rate; instead,
CURRENCIES ARE TRADED PRIMARILY BETWEEN CENTRAL
banks, commercial banks, various non-banking
international corporations, hedge funds,
PERSONAL INVESTORS AND NOT TO FORGET,
speculators. previously, smaller investors were
excluded from forex due to the huge amount of
DEPOSIT INVOLVED. THIS WAS CHANGED IN 1995, AND
now smaller investors can trade alongside the
multi-nationals. as a result, the number of
TRADERS WITHIN THE FOREX MARKET HAS GROWN
rapidly, and many forex courses are appearing to
help individual traders increase their skills.

as a matter of fact, it's advisable to take
forex training even before opening a trading
ACCOUNT.
it is vital to know the market mechanics of
forex, leveraging in forex, rollovers and the
ANALYSIS OF THE FOREX MARKET. DUE TO THIS FACT,
potential forex traders would do well to either
enroll in a forex training courses or even
PURCHASE SOME BOOKS REGARDING FOREX TRADING.

there are pros and cons to enrolling into a
FOREX COURSE. FOR BEGINNERS A FOREX COURSE IS A
rapid method of learning the basics of forex
trading. not much time is spent on history of
THE MARKET OR ARCANE ECONOMIC THEORIES. OFTEN,
on-line or phone support from a skilled forex
trader is available to answer any questions.
ALSO, THE INFORMATION IS CONDENSED AND
practical, often with graphs and charts.

THE DISADVANTAGE IS THE PRICE, AS COURSES ARE
more expensive than a paperback from the
bookstore. also,
THE COURSE MAY JUST TEACH THE APPROACH OF THE
trader who wrote it, and individuals have
different trading strategies. the student may
GROW ACCUSTOMED TO THE LOGIC AND FOCUS OF THE
teacher without coming to realise that nothing
is predictable in the forex market, and many
DIFFERENT STRATEGIES WILL BRING PROFITS IN
varying market circumstances. also, knowledge of
practical applications may not be enough, as the
FOREX IS HIGHLY UNPREDICTABLE AND THERE ARE MANY
external factors, such as political issues,
affecting the flow of finances in the market.

the best advice would be to do some background
research on the forex market first, and then
ENROLL IN A COURSE.
