We'll get straight to the point. We give FREE buy/sell recommendations for GBPUSD that comply with the new NFA FIFO rule and we also train/mentor AT A COST. You can visit our blog at http://techno4x.wordpress.com for further details.

We are a group of professional business people that embarked on a journey of learning how to trade the forex market some 6yrs ago - some of us did the learning and some of us did the financial sponsoring so that the others could learn and some of us did both.

This journey took us through some rough terrain (paid huge amounts for training only to find out the training was useless, blew up a couple of accounts, cried, prayed, had several sleepless nights, spastic colons, etc. ). However, through it all, we persevered by God's grace, studying and testing and studying and testing until we developed something that can deliver consistent profits.

That's what we wanted... "consistent" profits. Losses are always part of trading; as long as the profits outweigh the losses. In order to be consistent winners we not only worked on developing a robust methodology but also worked on sound money management principles. The one without the other is a sure recipe for disaster.

One question always comes up: If your method is so successful, why are you involved in a training/mentoring program, why not just trade and be happy. Well, the answer is threefold...

1. It cost a looooooot of money to get where we are today and we would like to recuperate that money as quick as possible so as to increase our own trading accounts.

2. At least one of us is a teacher by heart and enjoys the whole mentoring "thing". This is a way to help people to be successful and also encourage the "teacher" in our midst who by the way, is the author of our blog.

3. We were scammed and used during our learning curve and we want to demonstrate to beginners that there are reputable trainers and traders out there that they can trust.

Blessings to you.

DAILY ANALYSIS

The 1.6100 area is a criticial support area for our head and shoulder pattern. Cable bears have to bust through this support and sustain a downside move in order for head and shoulder to become active. This area proved too strong for them today and they were rejected. However, as long as R1 (1.6267) holds, we can expect another attempt from the bears to test this area.

What’s the verdict?

Success Leaves Clues
There are certain 'Business Rules' that successful investors and traders adhere to. If you were able to model these business rules then maybe it's possible for you to also achieve similar results. You would need to understand and appreciate the beliefs, attitudes and behavior, as well as the timing and sequencing of the strategies that successful traders implement.
• Trading provides one of the last great frontiers of opportunity in our economy. It is one of the very few ways in which an individual can start with a relatively small bankroll and actually become a multimillionaire.
• Of course, only a handful of individuals succeed in turning this feat, but at least the opportunity exists.
A rigid stop-loss rule is an essential ingredient to the trading approach of many successful traders.
• If We wanted to become a successful trader, We would seek information and advice from the most successful traders We could find. If we wanted to become a failure, we would seek advice from men who had never succeeded. If we wanted to succeed in all things, we would look around us for those who are succeeding and do as they have done.
• Taking advantage of potential major winning trades is not only important to the mental health of the trader but is also critical to winning. Letting winners ride is every bit as important as cutting losses short. If you don't stay with your winners, you are not going to be able to pay for the losers.
• In addition to not overtrading, it is important to commit to an exit point on every trade. Protective stops are very important because they force this commitment on the trader.
One other thing that is absolutely critical: You have to be willing to make mistakes regularly; there is nothing wrong with it. Making your best judgment, being wrong, making your next best judgment, being wrong, making your third best judgment, and then doubling your money.
• Whenever We enter a position, we have a predetermined stop. That is the only way we can sleep. we know where we are getting out before we get in. The position size on a trade is determined by the stop, and the stop is determined on a technical basis. We never think about other people who may be using the same stop, because the market shouldn't go there if we are right.
• If you personalize losses, you can't trade. When things go bad, traders shouldn't stick their head in the sand and just hope it gets better. You should always have a worst-case point. The only choice should be to get out quicker. The worst mistake a trader can make is to miss a major profit opportunity. 95 percent of profits come from only 5 percent of the trades.
• Probably our best technique is not picking up the phone to close out a winning trade. Show us the charts, and we'll tell you the news. Have an opinion on what the market should do but don't decide what the market will do. Be happy with a percentage of the move.
• We spend our trading trying to make Ourselves as happy and relaxed as we can be. If we have positions going against us, we get right out; if they are going for us, we keep them.

The US Dollar continued its fall backed by rising equity markets as Chinese equities started its rebound after the 4% decline on Wednesday. AIG said that it plans to repay the money borrowed from the US government which also helped push the equity markets higher. Leading indicators posted a reading of a rise of 0.6% backed by improvements in job sector and positive equity markets while the Philadelphia Fed manufacturing activity showed a positive reading at 4.2 against an expectation of -2.0 and better than the previous reading of -7.5 as new orders received increased. This data shows that the manufacturing sector has gained the most majorly boosted by the auto sector where the cash-for-clunkers program has helped the most. Also released was the Initial Jobless claims reading which showed that the new claims rose 15,000 unexpectedly to 576,000 while the total claims till date rose 2,000 to 6.241 million. The mortgage delinquencies rose 9.24% up from 9.12%, the highest in till date. The Pound fell yesterday being the weakest among the majors after the UK government posted a deficit of 8 Billion pounds, the highest till date to lows of 1.6451 after positive retail sales boosted the Pound to 1.6606 as the retail sales rose by 0.4% while the annual rate rose to a 14 month high of 3.3%. Upcoming releases for today, we have the PMI Manufacturing and Services data from the Germany and the Euro Zone while the US will release the Existing Home Sales data at 1400 GMT. The Home sales data could be a factor in determining the breakout levels for the major pairs as continued weakness in the housing market is dominant as unemployment rate still holds the key to economic growth.

Note: These Rules Are Only For Day Trading, Not For Long Term or Position trading.
A trading plan is essential for success. It is utterly impossible to succeed at trading without a concrete plan. The following are suggestions, some general, some specific, that I think will help traders achieve their goals.
GENERAL POINTS
• Homework:
The study of specific scripts and their relationship to the overall market is essential. It is suggested that the trader work at least one hour outside of market hours on familiarization with scripts that could be traded the next day. As time goes on, the trader will have greater understanding of the widely traded scripts, and will be able to better judge information for potential opportunities. Weekends require at least 2-3 hours of study to setup for the following week. The trader should be prepared to spend a minimum of 10 hours a week outside market hours on this planning and study.
• Schedule:
A standard schedule is essential. The trader should arrive at the trading center 45 minutes before the market opens (or more) and plan on being there all day. Before the market opens: The trader should have a list of potential trading scripts from his homework from the prior evening.

He should look at these as to how they traded intraday the day before, and draw conclusions as to whether or not he will follow them when the market opens. The trader should have his attention on the market, and on nothing else, be rested, and be ready to attack the market. If there is some outside influence that could take attention off the market, the trader should cease trading until the situation is addressed and handled, and he can trade without external influences that could have a detrimental effect.
• Taking heat:
This is the term used for watching a trade go the wrong way. It is the number one reason why traders lose money. Losses are inevitable. Nobody makes money every day. The key to winning overall is to limit the losses and offset them by winning trades.

The trader should never take more than a set limit of heat. In our personal experience, it is extremely difficult to set a number limit on how much heat, such as one-half a point, etc.
• Maximum Shares per Trade
Traders with little experience get wiped out by trading large amounts of shares. Until the trader is making money consistently, i.e. 10 trading days in a row with no losing days, the number of shares should be limited
• Mistakes
Traders make mistakes. The most common mistake is to sell when one wants to buy, and vice versa. The computer can go down, the feed to the exchange can be interrupted. There are a lot of things that can go wrong. The trader must assume full responsibility for any mistake that occurs. Open positions should be exited immediately (almost always at a loss) when a mistake occurs.
• Number of Trades Per Day
Trading too much in one day is the third reason why traders lose money consistently. There is absolutely no reason to trade more than 5 trades per day. The maximum number of trades should be limited to 5 per day.
• Maximum Positions at One Time:
The trader should try and limit himself to one open position at a time. Two positions is acceptable, but three is not. This is more of a general rule

Holding overnight is usually done to try and avoid a loss. Holding overnight for an expected gain is too risky for the trader.

keep in mind this is for day traders All rules are made to be broken. All rules can be safely broken under certain circumstances. But in my experience, breaking more than one rule is a grave mistake, and reduces the possibility of success to less than 25%. It should not be done.
• Trading Regimen
Every trader has a regimen; a style or set of rules that he follows to choose trades. For example, most day traders use technical analysis as part of their personal regimen to form conclusions.

The personal regimen would include the specifics of what indicators are used and why. These regimens are constantly being refined and polished, due to the fact that the market changes all the time, and what worked 6 months ago may not work now. The trader must have a personal regimen, a specific set of rules or guidelines that he follows.

This must be in writing. These guidelines must be his own, in other words, he must not use another trader screaming or some computer program, or anything else, to make his FINAL decisions.

He must make his final decisions himself, and he can't do it without a personal regimen.

The personal trading regimen helps the trader refine his skills and learn what works and what does not. He can change his regimen at any time, of course, but he must have something to change.

London, 20 October 2009 FXCM LTD (www.fxcm.co.uk) began offering CFD trading in addition to forex trading in September 2009 allowing traders to trade forex, global stock indices, oil and gold—all on one platform.

On 18 October 2009, FXCM LTD, in a continued effort to perfect the CFD product offering, reduced the minimum contract sizes on their global stock indices, gold and oil instruments. This means that less margin will be required on many CFD instruments in order to place a trade. Just like trading forex, traders will be able to put up less equity to trade their opinion on stock indices, oil and gold.



On Sunday, November 22, FXCM LTD will be making changes to existing margin requirements for all account holders as well. Margin requirements will be increasing, particularly for currency pairs with EUR or GBP as the base currency. FXCM’s experience in Hong Kong, where significantly lower leverage levels (higher margins) are mandated by law, suggests that trading with lower leverage may assist clients in trading more successfully over an extended time period. The new margin requirements are intended to reduce risk by restricting traders from using excessive leverage.

Below, you will see the a comparison of the present USD margin requirements* for some of our most popular currency pairs next to the new USD margin requirements that will take effect on November 22.



Based on price fluctuations, all margin requirements are subject to change without notice and will be adjusted up or down in increments of $10 for USD denominated accounts. At present, FXCM does not anticipate that margin requirements will have to be changed more than once a month. Up-to-date margin requirements are and will continue to be displayed in the “Simplified Dealing Rates” window of the trading platform by currency pair.]]> Arnaud Jeulin Thu, 05 Nov 2009 10:25:11 +0100 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 10:25:11 +0100 http://www.mataf.net/forums/fxcm-Cfd-Provider-Fxcm-t12133.html http://www.mataf.net/forums/fxcm-Dailyfxcom-launc-t12131.html

Leveraged foreign exchange trading carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose.

Plus, global commodity supplies are low; the inventories for food are the lowest they have been in 50 years. Rising income levels in emerging countries and the spread of western ideologies are having an effect on food consumption. We are seeing greater consumer demand for certain foods like meat and poultry.

The Earth's population is estimated to be about 6.77 billion, and the world's population is expected to reach 9 billion by the year 2040. The world’s masses are already demanding more vegetables, fruits, meats and dairy products. Imagine what the demand for agricultural products will be in 10 to 20 years.
Growing global demand from population growth and a rising standard of living will push commodity prices much higher.

Global Equity Markets were down Tuesday, although the Dow Jones finished the day nearly flat after giving up 17 points to close at 9771. Futures are mixed heading into Asia and London sessions. Warren Buffet announced today that his company, Berkshire Hathaway would purchase Burlington Northern for $26 billion in a show of confidence in the U.S economy.

In the Forex Markets the Dollar was mixed with the DXY holding steady above 76 for the moment. The RBA raised rates by a quarter point as expected to 3.5%. The AUD was unchanged for the day as the move was already priced in. A number of key data releases are set to print tomorrow in the U.K, New Zealand, and the Euro-zone. However, probably none will be more watched than the Federal Open Market Committee's interest rate decision and accompanying statements.
