Understanding Forex Trading Software and Forex Trading Platforms
By Richard M. Davieess
Understanding the differences between the types of Forex
trading software and Forex trading platforms can help to make
you a better trader in a number of ways. Choosing the trading
software that most closely matches your needs can make your
journey to Forex profitability much smoother and easier.
Online Forex brokers give clients access to information about
market prices and the ability to make trades via their forex
trading software offerings. Online Forex trading is fairly well
established so there is general agreement amongst brokers about
what kind of software is optimum for these purposes. The major
division of the software is between client based and web based
examples.
Of course, a primary need is for real-time, second-by-second
access to market information. Forex trading is very fast paced
and there is no room for a lag in delivery of information so
that trading decisions can be properly made. Despite the claims
of all Forex dealers that their particular software will perform
speedily there are many things that can delay the receiving of
data.
Having a newer computer, with adequate power and speed, is one
critical consideration. Another is to have an Internet
connection that is high speed so you can take advantage of all
that your broker's software can offer you. Since distance from
the broker's servers is another important point it is wise to
have a broker in the same general area as you are. Having a
broker half-way around the globe may cause you critical delays
during times of rapid trading. This, of course, may be less of
an issue as trading technologies advance.
A Choice: Client Based or Web Based?
Client based software offerings are those where critical
portions of the software resides on your own computer. Web based
packages run over the Internet and you can access your account
on your broker's website from any computer with a web
connection. Is one preferable? The trend is toward web based
packages because these are much more convenient and reliable. If
your computer is down for any reason you can still conduct
business through a another computer. With client based software
you would be restricted to the one computer.
Because the web-based software resides on the broker's system
there is much greater security. The broker can secure the data
by high-strength encryption so transmissions are always
protected. A single trader's computer, on the other hand, is
much more vulnerable to hackers, viruses, and other such
security breaches.
The most basic features of a Forex trading software package is
allowing a trader access for buying a selling and seeing
real-time price information. So, of course, all packages should
offer this ability. The trader can see up to the minute quotes
for those currency pairs most often traded and can manage their
accounts, either buying or selling by price or using stops and
limits to enter and exit the market. Charting functions
integrated right into the software are also very desirable.
Most brokers will offer a basic software package for free but
there are higher-level, more capable programs also offered for a
monthly fee. These more capable programs give you access to a
large range of analytical functions and allow you to trade
directly from the chart withing the Forex trading platform.
Since the heart of these systems are the data servers, Forex
brokers' servers must be secure, with all transactions processed
correctly and all data integrity maintained. Since every
computer system can be crippled by events outside of the control
of individuals there should be separate backup servers in
different locations. This means that a natural disaster, or even
a simple loss of power supply, does not cripple the operation.
Data backups at regular intervals will also go a long way toward
assuring that client data is preserved in an accurate state no
matter what.

Online Forex Trading Course: Common Forex Trading Terms
By Gregory DeVictor
The Forex trading market is an around-the-clock cash market
where the currencies of nations are bought and sold, typically
via brokers. For example, you buy Euros, paying with U.S.
Dollars, or you sell Canadian Dollars for Japanese Yen. The
purpose of this article is to give you an introduction to common
Forex trading terms and their definitions.
Ask Price: The ask price is the price you can buy at.
Base Currency: The currency to the left of the / in a Forex
quote is the base currency. Its value is always 1. In the Forex
quote, EUR/USD = 1.3489, EUR is the base currency.
Bid/Ask Spread: The bid/ask spread or simply spread is the
"distance" between the bid and ask prices. This spread is
usually expressed in pips.
Bid Price: The bid price is the price you can sell at.
Counter Currency: The currency to the right of the / in a Forex
quote is the counter currency. In the Forex quote, EUR/USD =
1.3489, USD is the counter currency.
Forex Deal: The purchase or sale of a currency.
Forex Quote: Forex quotes are always expressed in pairs. In the
following example, your "pair" of currencies are the U.S. Dollar
(USD) and the Euro (EUR). The Forex quote, EUR/USD = 1.3489,
means that one Euro is equal to 1.3489 U.S. dollars.
Fundamental Analysis: A fundamental analysis uses economic and
political factors, such as housing starts, the unemployment
rate, or inflation, as a means of predicting currency movements.
Fundamental analysis is concerned with the reasons for currency
movements.
Long Position: A long position is a market position that
appreciates in value if the market price increases.
Lot: 1 lot is equal to 100,000 units of the base. Likewise, 2
lots are equal to 200,000 units of the base, 3 lots are equal to
300,000 units of the base, and so on.
Margin: Margin is referred to as the collateral needed to
facilitate A Forex deal. Usually, this is a very small portion
of the entire deal, say 1% or 1:100. However, margin is a
"double-edged sword." Without the proper use of risk management
tools (that is, stop-loss and take-profit orders), you can
experience substantial losses as well as gains.
Open Position: When your Forex deal is running, you hold an
"open position."
Pip: The spread between the bid and ask prices.
Short Position: A short position is a market position that
appreciates in value if the market price decreases.
Stop Loss Order: A market order to close a Forex position if or
when losses reach a pre-set threshold.
Take Profit Order: A market order to close a Forex position if
or when profits reach a pre-set threshold.
Technical Analysis: A technical analysis uses historical data
as a means of predicting currency movements. The technical
analyst believes that history repeats itself over and over
again. Technical analysis is not concerned with the reasons for
currency movements (for example, interest rates or inflation).
Instead, it believes that historical currency movements are a
clear indication of future ones.
As with stocks and mutual funds, there is risk in Forex
trading. The risk results from fluctuations in the currency
exchange market. Investments with a low level of risk (for
example, long-term government bonds) often have a low return.
Investments with a higher level of risk (for example, Forex
trading) can have a higher return. To achieve your short-term
and long-term financial goals, you need to balance security and
risk to the comfort level that works best for you.

Create Fantastic Wealth From Forex Trading
Forex Trading: How To Create Fantastic Wealth From Forex Trading
By I-key Benney, CEO
If you search on the internet you’ll find millions of
investment programs such as real estate, stock trading, bond
trading, mutual funds, CDs, auction programs and various
internet programs.
I have not done many internet income opportunities or programs
or affiliate programs because I had been lucky to discover a
very easy way to make money through forex trading, (Foreign
currency trading) safely on the internet.
Perhaps you know about only stock trading or bond trading which
are common, but not forex trading.
Forex trading is the most profitable and attractive internet
income opportunity because you can do it from home or office and
from any country in the world.
In forex trading, you don’t need to do any marketing or selling
or internet promotion to succeed.
In forex trading, you don’t need to spend thousands of dollars
to do any internet promotion.
In forex trading, you don’t need any stocks or warehousing.
In forex trading , all that you’ve to do is open an account
with one of the brokers with as little as $300 or $2000.
Then follow simple instructions to buy and sell the currencies.
When the price of the currency is low, you buy.
In a few seconds or minutes, the price will go up, and you sell
it and make a profit.
By so doing , in a day, you can easily make $500-$1000 by just
buying, selling and trading these foreign currencies for about 3
or 4 hrs!
And get this:
You don’t even have to be stuck sitting behind your computer
buying and selling these foreign currencies.
You can enter all your buy trades and specify the sell prices
you desire and then log off.
Whenever the values of these foreign currencies rise and your
selling prices reach, the currencies will be automatically sold
for you and you make money!
You can do forex trading and at the same time keep your day
job, because in forex trading, there is no work to do.
In the future when you have made hundreds of thousands of
dollars, you may then quit your job and just keep doing currency
forex trading forever and go on permanent vacation!
To understand the beauty of forex trading Picture this:
In the morning, you get up from sleep at 6 am.
You go to your bathroom and have your shower.
At 7am, you hurry and eat your breakfast.
At 7.20 am, you login into your forex trading account on the
internet and spend 10 minutes to buy about 3 or 4 different
currencies, [for example British Pound, Euro, CHF (Swiss
Currency) and Yen (Japanese currency).
You can specify the price at which you wish to sell each
currency.
Then you can log off.
By 9 am, you’re at work in your office or business place.
You do your job as usual and by 5 pm, you’re finished and
heading home.
When you get back home around 6.30 pm, you login into your
forex trading account to see how much money you’ve made.
Holy Molly, there in your account it says you have made $750!
“Is this for real?”, you wonder…
Yes, it is. (Your eyes are not deceiving you…)
$750 in a day for just clicking your mouse twice and doing no
work?
(Whereas at your job, you work 8 hrs, but make only probably
$150..)
This is how easy it is to make money from forex trading.
But before you use real money to open a live forex trading
account, you have to open a free trial (demo) forex trading
account and practice first, to understand how it works and to
acquire the right skills.
This free demo (trial) forex trading account (forex simulation
trading) will help you to reduce a lot of risks that can lead to
loss.
In forex trading, you can choose how much money to invest, how
much money to make and when to make it.
You can make money daily, 365 days all year from forex trading.
Your computer can be transformed into an “ATM” machine that
cranks out cash for you daily (without large investment or
hassles) from forex trading.
In forex trading, you can choose what type of risk you can
manage, when to invest and when not to invest.
In forex trading, you’re the boss. You may do as you please.
When forex trading is compared to other investment programs
such as stock trading, bond trading, mutual funds, real estate
and regular business, it is evident that forex trading is the
fastest and greatest way to make money in the world.
Forex trading is a 2.5 trillion dollars daily business and it
is larger than all the stock trading in the world combined.
These are some of the reasons why I believe that forex trading
is the fastest and best way to create fantastic wealth.
Perhaps from reading this article you’ll now come to know why
forex trading is the secret behind the greatest wealth on earth
and why it has been kept hidden from the average people of the
world and therefore little known to the masses.
May these forex trading insights open your eyes to the
possibility of infinite wealth and success that can be yours
from forex trading.
Please feel free to print or publish this article anywhere and
read and also send to your friends and well wishers and please
preserve the author’s resource box below.
Warmly,

The Key to Building Wealth With Forex Trading
Forex Trading Systems - Your Key to Building Wealth With Forex
Trading
In my very humble opinion Forex trading systems are the very
foundation of successful trading.
In brief, a trading system simply put is a set of rules or
instructions to be followed in order to enter and exit a trade.
Trading systems are also referred to as trading methods, trading
techniques, as well as trading strategies.
Usually when we speak of trading systems we are referring to
those constructed using technical analysis.
Trading systems have become even more popular as the power of
personal computers have increased tremendously. The power to
analyze your trading ideas has never been greater and many
traders are now taking advantage of that fact.
When it comes to acquiring a trading system you usually have
two choices. You can create your own or you can buy or lease a
trading system created by someone else. Which route you decide
to go depends on your level of skill and technical analysis,
your time, and your budget.
So why use a trading system?
There are numerous reasons that trading systems have become so
popular. There used by everyone from the newest trader to
multibillion-dollar financial institutions. Trading systems are
effective and they are here to stay.
One reason that trading systems are so effective is that they
essentially eliminate guesswork. In a properly constructed
trading system the trader is instructed as to when to give in,
how much to risk, and when to get out. Those are the components
of a very basic Forex trading system.
Knowing exactly what to do prior to entering a trade can go a
long way towards minimizing the emotions associated with
trading. Controlling your emotions in trading is so important
there is an entire field of psychology dedicated to it. It makes
perfect sense that trading can become an emotional issue,
however, because money has many emotions attached to it.
Another reason that trading systems are so popular is that they
are verifiable. This simply means that a trader can take their
trading system and run that system on historical data to see how
it would have performed in the past. While past performance is
absolutely no guarantee of future results a trained technical
analyst can gain valuable insight as to how a trading system
might perform in the future.
There are numerous commercial Forex trading systems available
for those who have neither the desire nor the time to build and
test their own. These commercial trading systems are so numerous
in fact that it seems that I receive a notification of a new one
just about every day.
A simple word of caution when you're looking at commercially
available trading systems... take your time and evaluate them
thoroughly before making your purchase or lease. I say this
simply because I've taken a look at many of the numerous systems
that are currently available and it appears that not all of them
are created equal. Some systems look great at the outset and may
appear very exciting because they trade frequently.
Unfortunately once you figure in the transaction costs
associated with each trade the systems don't look quite as good
and some of them actually even fail miserably.
The next step is to educate yourself enough to properly
evaluate a trading system. By learning to evaluate trading
systems effectively you can save yourself a lot of time and
money in the long run.

Learn Forex Trading... Become A Profitable Trader
Forex Trading Education - How To Learn Forex Trading To Become
A Profitable Trader
If you are seeking to educate yourself about forex trading,
most probably your main objective is to gain trading skills so
that you are able to trade independently and to be able to
create personal consistent wealth through forex trading. Most
forex traders are independent traders or individuals who are
trading from the comfort of their own homes and not
institutional traders who are backed with large quantities of
capital by commercial organisations or sponsored by large
investing funds.
The distinction between private forex education and academic
education
If you are an individual private forex trader, then what you
need is a practical forex trading education that will encompass
the practical aspects of trading and how to make money from your
trades rather than an all comprehensive education involving the
historical background of forex, the intricacies of price
movements or the more mundane academic statistical studies of
finance and currencies. So if you are someone entering into the
forex market with the intention to make money from trading
forex, then look for someone or a mentor or a trading course
that can allow you to learn how to trade profitably.
As a wealth creator, this is what you should look out for in
planning your own forex trading education or learning plan.
"Trader, Know Thyself"
It is important for you to research your own trading profile.
By this, I suggest you should consider whether you wish to be a
day trader, who will be trading several times a day and whether
you are able to spend time on the trading terminal, watching
prices or are you better placed as a swing trader who makes a
trade within days or a long term position trader who cna hold a
trade for several weeks. Each type of trader trades on a
different time frame, and each method of trading is different.
So you will need to zero down on the type of trading you wish to
learn.
Risk Profile
The second consideration is your personal risk profile. Are you
an aggressive trader or a conservative trader? This is important
form the aspect of forex education because you will not be able
to fit into day trading forex if you are a conservative trader
who is not looking for multiple trades a day. On the contrary,
the aggressive trader will like to be proficient in day trading
and learning how to trade as a forex day trader will be suitable
for him. By knowing your own risk profile, you will be able to
start in the correct direction finding a mentor or a trading
course that is suitable for your own needs.
Trading Platform
What has a forex trading platform to do with your forex
education? Plenty! For one, the forex trading platform must be
suitable to your trading methodology. This is because you will
need the trading indicators in your charting interface of your
trading platform. In learning to trade, you will need a suitable
trading platform that contains the trading indicators you need
to implement in the trading methodology. At the same time, you
will need to practise your trading strategy and to work with a
demo account.
Gaining Experience in Trading
Here is one secret that can shorten your learning curve as a
forex trader. Get yourself a trade simulator and practise your
trading methodology repeatedly till you are consistently
profitable before you trade. Practice makes perfect, and you can
pick up years of experience as a forex trader within weeks on a
trade simulator with a large database of price movements.
Mini Forex Trading Account
For the beginner trader, the use of a mini forex trading
account will greatly reduce his risk as he puts into practise
whatever he has learnt in forex trading. A mini forex trading
account possesses more leverage and a trader can start to trade
with very low capital, and therefore reduced risk. In that way,
he can start to maintain discipline in trading without worrying
too much on losing a big sum of money.
On the basis of these guidelines, it is possible for a person
to craft or design an initial plan to acquire personal forex
training and education so that he can become a professional or
private forex trader.

A Profitable Trader
If you are seeking to educate yourself about forex trading,
most probably your main objective is to gain trading skills so
that you are able to trade independently and to be able to
create personal consistent wealth through forex trading. Most
forex traders are independent traders or individuals who are
trading from the comfort of their own homes and not
institutional traders who are backed with large quantities of
capital by commercial organisations or sponsored by large
investing funds.
The distinction between private forex education and academic
education
If you are an individual private forex trader, then what you
need is a practical forex trading education that will encompass
the practical aspects of trading and how to make money from your
trades rather than an all comprehensive education involving the
historical background of forex, the intricacies of price
movements or the more mundane academic statistical studies of
finance and currencies. So if you are someone entering into the
forex market with the intention to make money from trading
forex, then look for someone or a mentor or a trading course
that can allow you to learn how to trade profitably.
As a wealth creator, this is what you should look out for in
planning your own forex trading education or learning plan.
"Trader, Know Thyself"
It is important for you to research your own trading profile.
By this, I suggest you should consider whether you wish to be a
day trader, who will be trading several times a day and whether
you are able to spend time on the trading terminal, watching
prices or are you better placed as a swing trader who makes a
trade within days or a long term position trader who cna hold a
trade for several weeks. Each type of trader trades on a
different time frame, and each method of trading is different.
So you will need to zero down on the type of trading you wish to
learn.
Risk Profile
The second consideration is your personal risk profile. Are you
an aggressive trader or a conservative trader? This is important
form the aspect of forex education because you will not be able
to fit into day trading forex if you are a conservative trader
who is not looking for multiple trades a day. On the contrary,
the aggressive trader will like to be proficient in day trading
and learning how to trade as a forex day trader will be suitable
for him. By knowing your own risk profile, you will be able to
start in the correct direction finding a mentor or a trading
course that is suitable for your own needs.
Trading Platform
What has a forex trading platform to do with your forex
education? Plenty! For one, the forex trading platform must be
suitable to your trading methodology. This is because you will
need the trading indicators in your charting interface of your
trading platform. In learning to trade, you will need a suitable
trading platform that contains the trading indicators you need
to implement in the trading methodology. At the same time, you
will need to practise your trading strategy and to work with a
demo account.
