A Dozen Rules For Trading Fools

1) Lower your position size until you show a track record of good performance. It is better to lose small so your can eventually win big.

2) Always look for favorable conditions to trade from or stay out of the market until they appear. Bad executions will ruin a perfect chart setup.

3) Watch the stock before you enter. Look for evidence to confirm your decision. The volume and trend must support the reversal, breakout or fade you're expecting to happen.

4) Decide how long you want to be in the market before you execute the trade. Don't day trade a stock you want to invest in or invest in a stock that was supposed to be a swing trade. Don't swing trade a stock that was supposed to be a day trade. You are supposed to be using different accounts for different trading objectives. If you mix these trades up then you'll just have more than one account doing the same thing. There is no point in this.

5) Take positions on the side of momentum, not against it. It's less dangerous to be on a speeding freight train then to jump out in front of one.

6) Avoid trading at the open. There are too many fades, reversals, gaps, news and other things that will likely dramatically affect stock prices in the first ten minutes. Let the market settle down first after the market makers and specialist have fleeced the amateurs. Only then is it time to trade. Let the market show its hand before you trade it.

7) Avoid pre-market trading unless there is an absolute must own stock that you missed the day before and you found in your scans after the market closed. If I find a stock like this in my scans the night before, I may buy it in pre-market. Other than that situation, Pre-market trading is too difficult due to the spreads, illiquidity and the fact that you are hampered by the dreaded limit order and the inability to execute a stop order.

8) Stay away from the reactions of the crowd. Their emotions often signal opportunity in the opposite direction. Profit rarely follows the masses. Step aside when confusion is in the air and the market or herd lacks direction.

9) It is okay to take overnight positions. Buy at the close and hold until the next day's trading session. As long as your disciplined enough to maintain a proper positions size. By holding overnight, you can take advantage of selling the gap up for profit at the open. Of course, there is always risk the stock will gap down. Holding over night is risky but there is also the potential for big rewards.

10) Trade with a strategy of entering new trades at support and exiting them at resistance in a range-bound market. Trade with a momentum strategy of buying breakouts at new highs or selling short at new lows in a trending market.

11) The entry is the key to success. An excellent entry on a mediocre chart makes more money than a bad entry on an excellent chart.

12) Follow the our indicator panel. Our BBI and MSL indicators have been on the money during this latest market slide. If you are following them, you should be either 100% cash or shorting the market. If you are in cash as these indicators have advised, you have preserved all your prior gains. If you are short the market based on these indicators, you are making a healthy profit as the market goes down. Do not underestimate the value of this indicator panel.

Trade Forex 24 Hours a Day with Trading Robots

You need money to live a comfortable life. You need money to
provide education to your children. And, you need money to
eat. This is why you work, this is why people put up
businesses, and this is why people go to great lengths to
make money.

Trading in the largest financial market in the world is
surely something you should consider. The Forex market (or
Foreign Exchange) is the most liquid market in the world. It
operates 24 hours a day.

With trade exchanges that generates up to 2 trillion dollars
a day, who won't get attracted to trade in this very
liquid market? If you are a regular person with a regular
job who is looking for a way to earn extra money, you can
consider entering the Forex market and trade.

However, Forex also has its risks and people who have traded
in Forex without the proper knowledge and skill lost large
amounts of money, and some have suffered extreme financial
losses. This is why it is necessary for you to have enough
knowledge and skills when you trade in the Forex market.

Even if you don't have the necessary knowledge, you can
start trading and earning extra cash. Many people are using
software to help them trading. That software is often called
Forex Trading Robot.

Imagine having a personal Forex broker trading for you. A
trading robot is like that, only in form of software instead
of a human. You won't miss any opportunities, since the
trading robot runs 24 hours a day and is accessed over the
internet.

All these are possible through the use of a Forex trading
robot. However, before you subscribe to a Forex trading
robot, you have to first determine if the software can
really work to your advantage. You have to determine if the
Forex trading robot can really trade effectively and
efficiently.

You should also look for advanced trading features that the
Forex trading robot can offer you.

Some necessary features of a Forex trading robot:

- The robot should work 24 hours a day. If it doesn't, you
will miss a few money making opportunities.

- Low minimum investment - The lower the inital investment
is, the lower is your risk.

- Is the company using the latest trading technology? An old
and outdated robot could put your money at risk.

These are some of the things you should look for in a Forex
trading robot. With these features, you can be sure that you
can really earn money.

Forex trading robots are perfect for people who wants to get
involved in the Forex market but don't have the proper
knowledge and skills to trade currencies. They are also
great for people who are afraid to invest their money in
Forex. You can also benefit from a Forex trading robot if
you want to concentrate on your day job and still earn cash
in the Forex market.

As with every investment, you should have the money to
invest. Don't use your rent money. Forex trading is risky,
you could loose everything.

Day Trading Classes

Day trading classes are not just for newbie rookie investors. Seasoned veteran investors are not exempt from the need to constantly hone their skills, the need to learn more advanced investing techniques, tips , and strategies. In any endeavor there is always room for growth. After all, wouldn't you want to learn the secrets of how to improveyour return on investment or how to increase your profit margins?

In addition to the technical knowledge that they provide, day trading classes also help you to develop and reinforce the mental conditioning requisite for an investor's mindset. Investing isn't 100% technical. You also need to undergo a whole paradigm shift in terms of your attitude toward money, the ability to conquer your fears of investing, to learn to expand your comfort zone, to learn to understand how the market works. Surprisingly, a lot of what holds us back from success is our belief in ourselves and our ability to be successful. That is why day trading classes have one other redeeming quality: They provide mentorship.

If you want to become a superstar investor, you need to learn from the superstars. Believe me, the mentorship of an experienced investor is worth its weight in gold. Day trading classes literally pay for themselves many times over when you apply what you learn. Experienced day traders who have blazed the trail to financial success are an invaluable resource to help you learn to invest properly, to help you learn from their mistakes so that you don't make the same mistakes.

Do you have what it takes to become a professional day trader?

Automated Forex Trading Programs Review

Automated Forex trading programs serve different purposes and can do very different things. I believe that trading softwares serve 3 specific functions. Choosing the best software for you depends on what you wish to get out of it. Of course, some softwares do more than one thing, but it's still important to make sure that the software you choose meets your purpose exactly.

3 Types of Automated Forex trading Programs


  1. Analysis Software - This is basically an information display software with a twist. You can usually view a graph of the various currency pairs and also see different technical trading indicators on the graph itself. The Analysis Software doesn't make any trading decisions for you, but it simplifies your trading and can help you make better decisions and to make more money.
  2. Pricing Software - This kind of automatic forex software doesn't do the trading for you, but it tells you what you need to do. You need to feed market information into it or allow it to take the information from the market automatically. It then supplies you with two sets of prices: Stop Loss and Take Profit. You give these prices to your broker and, hopefully, turn a profit.
  3. Automatic Trading - The Automatic Trading program actually does the trading for you without you being involved. Some people don't like these softwares because they like to be in control. Others love them since they provide you with a lot of freedom and can basically trade for you in your sleep.

Whichever software you choose to get, make sure to not relinquish your forex education. It's highly important that you know the most you can about the market. The more you know the better you will work with any software you get.

There is more than one forex trading software. To read John Drummond's review of the 2 best ones, click here: Automatic Forex Trading Programs.

A Few Tips For Day Trading the Stock Market

Day trading the stock market involves the rapid buying and selling of stocks on a day-to-day basis. This technique is used to secure quick profits from the constant changes in stock values, minute to minute, second to second. It is rare that a day trader will remain in a trade over the course of a night into the next day. These trades are entered and exited in a matter of minutes.

The main question that most people ask when it comes to day trading is simple: 'is it necessary to sit at a computer watching the markets ALL day long in order to be a successful day trader?'

The answer is no. It's not necessary to sit at a computer all day long. There are a number of factors to consider, but generally the rule of day trading is to trade when everyone else is trading. In other words, trade in the morning.

As with all financial investments, day trading is risky - in fact, it's one of the riskiest forms of trading out there. The stock prices rise or fall according to the behaviour of the market, which is entirely unpredictable. Day traders buy and sell shares rapidly in the hopes of gaining profits within the minutes and seconds they own those particular stocks. Simple to do in theory, harder to do in practice.

If you are constrained by a small amount of capital, you may not be able to buy large amounts of a stock, but buying only a small amount can add to the risk of a loss. And, obviously, it is impossible to predict with certainty which stocks will result in profits and which in losses. Even the best of traders must learn to accept both outcomes.

It's also important to know that in day trading, it is the number of shares rather than the value of shares that should be the focus. If you day trade, you WILL face losses, but even for the more expensive stocks, the loss should be marginal, because prices do not usually fluctuate to an extreme degree over the course of just one day.

The day trading industry deals in a large variety of stocks and shares. Here are just a few:

Growth-Buying Shares - shares made from profit, which continue to grow in value. Eventually, these shares will begin to decline in price, and an experienced trader can usually predict the future of this type of share.

Small Caps - shares of companies which are on the rise and show no signs of stopping. Although these shares are generally cheap, they are a very risky investment for day traders. You'd be safer to go with large caps and/or mid-caps, which are much more secure and stable thanks to a premium.

Unloved Stocks - company stock that has not performed well in the past. Traders buy these shares in the hopes of generating profits if and when the stock rises in value. As with small caps, unloved stocks can be a risky choice for day traders.

These examples are NOT your only options when it comes to day trading stocks. The best way to determine which type of stock is right for you is to invest some time for careful research, a knowledge of market patterns, a solid strategy, and a disciplined trading plan.

The key to successful day trading is to be prepared. Know as much as possible about the industry before you begin actually trading. You need to learn to trade ONLY when the market gives the right signals, and ONLY when the volume of activity in the market supports a successful trading opportunity.

Forex Trading Robots - Best Forex Trading EA to Have

Forex Trading Expert Advisors, or simply put - Forex Trading EAs, are automatic execution forex system trading platforms that render the trading process automatic therefore freeing the trader from continuously watching the market. This also makes it possible to separate the psychological and emotional aspects when trading. The system is setup according to a set of preferences and makes the trade according to these rules. Even the best traders are affected by the emotion we call "fear". Decisions made under duress is often times the wrong one!

Forex trading robots are normally accessed in the internet. It works very similar to having your own broker but instead of a live person doing the trade for you, it is in the form of a program. And since the forex robots don't sleep, you have your own forex trading EA running 24 hours a day, giving you the advantage of not missing any opportunity when the forex market changes. It is now possible to trade professionally even if you are just a beginner in forex trading.

There are a lot of forex trading robots in the market today. Forex trading EAs are great tools to have if you want to bring your trading to the next level. But not all forex trading EAs are made equal. You have to first determine if the software can really work to your advantage. You have to determine if it can really trade effectively and efficiently.

Listed below are a few tips on features you may want to look for in a forex trading robot:

1. 24 hour a day operation - What good is a forex trading EA if it doesn't work for you 24x7??? Make sure that your software works 24 hours a day so you don't miss any opportunity;

2. Updated Trading Automation Technology - Since your money is at risk, you should choose a Forex trading robot with the latest trading technology existing in the market today.

3. Minimum investment requirements - Investments in a Forex trading robot should be minimal in order for you to afford.

4. For forex trading beginners, the option to have a "demo account" is an advantage. This will allow you to do live trading but without using real money. You can get the feel of the market first before really plunging into the sea.

5. Highly recommended by Forex Trader enthusiasts. It is without a doubt that forex trader experts have forex robots working for them. Look for their expert opinions on the best forex trading EA on the market and head their suggestions.

Head of caution: Never forget that although Forex trading can create huge sums of profit in the least amount of time for you, it can also cause you to lose money in the same amount of time. Using a Forex Trading EA minimizes this risk because it takes advantage of the earning potential 24 hours a day, hence you never miss a trading opportunity that comes from a great market trend.

I'm an automotive enthusiast; my passion is all about cars and auto accessories. And to help finance this hobby, I do extremely well in forex trading and own several online businesses. You know, with the right set of tools and information, you can earn huge amounts of profit in forex trading.

Forex Auto Trading - What is It?

What exactly is foreign exchange trading a.k.a. FOREX? Well basically the Forex market is a 24 hour non-stop cash market where currencies are being traded back and forth depending on the rise and fall of the value on a particular day, usually via a professional broker who has professional experience in handling worldwide transactions. Foreign currencies are simultaneously being bought and sold locally and globally based on the currency movements. Investors who are interested in the foreign exchange markets are usually enticed by the 24 hour trading, an easy market area where you can trade all kinds of currencies, unpredictable market offerings that offer all kinds of opportunities for big profit earnings, and balanced trading with low margin requirements.

As an investor, your main goal is to profit from increasing foreign currency movements, in which the said foreign trading system is usually being done in pairs. You trade in dollars for Euros for example according to the Forex rates, monitoring the increase and decrease of these rates which will prompt you for a possible trading opportunity. To put it simple, an investor, once he has bought foreign currency, can trade it back for more than the amount he bought before once the value of the rate increases. This could happen monthly or yearly, so it is important that the investor monitors the rise and fall of the trade levels, which is usually determined by everyday events that occur in that particular country.

Earning profit from the foreign exchange markets will always be a risky deal for anyone who is willing to participate and invest in the trend. But the foreign exchange market is also an hourly updated market, providing opportunities for high-profit trades and confident analysis of when dramatic increases would occur. Forex markets are immensely lucrative since they run and trade with sizeable volumes and operate practically 24 hours.
