Forex Trading Systems- You Bet!
October 26th, 2009
Forex Trading – is it gambling or is it a pursuit for well informed currency traders?
If you consider it, forex trading is a straight gamble between two possibilities. One, price will increase. Two, Price will decline.
If you were to enter a casino, then the odds are always greater than 2-1. Even if you were to gamble upon solely “Red Vs Black” then although at first glance this appears to give odds of even, when you take into account the zero and double zero then the odds shit quite considerably away from zero.
If you are drawn towards horse racing then you could argue that there is a possibility to study the form and put the odds into your favour, and whist this is true it is still a fact that unless there are only two runners, the odds are always greater than they are with forex trading.
Why is it then, that so many people fail to make a profit when forex trading?
One of the greatest problems is perhaps that traders fail to accept that they are gambling.
If you have a few hundred dollars to spare , that if lost would not cause you or your family any adverse effects, then perhaps a flutter or two on the currency markets might suit you better than any other form of gambling.
For those of you that want more, then investing in one of the many forex trading systems will be a major addition towards capturing a bigger percentage of the winnings.
One of the better forex systems will assist you to ensure that you keep on the right side of the market. This is important because although the price of a currency can only go up or down, it’s movements can be erratic and it may move up or down a little before making a concerted move in any particular direction.
These moves are referred to as volatility and are the very reason why so many traders lose money.
So if you fancy a flutter on a “two horse” race where the odds are very much greater than 2:1, then maybe trading the forex currency markets could be the perfect venue for you.
Just remember that although price can only go up or down, choosing the direction is much harder than it looks.
When funding a live account we would suggest that you fund it as follows:
For a micro account – minimum $500
For a mini account – minimum $5000
For a standard account – minimum $50,000
Anything less will make money management very difficult, and this is one of the most important aspects of successful trading.
Unless of course you want to just take a high value gamble, in which case there are many brokers and spread betting companies that will be more than happy to accommodate you from as little as $50

Trading Gold
October 23rd, 2009
As a currency trader it is very likely that you also keep an eye on the price of gold, because as you well know, there is often an inverse correlation between the strength of the U.S. Dollar and the price of gold.
Never has gold been in greater demand than it is at present. It is almost as if someone somewhere knows that something is going to happen to put the price of gold through the roof.
Do you remember the 1964 film – Goldfinger, Directed by Guy Hamilton?
Goldfinger’s film scheme, codenamed “Operation Grand Slam”, involves breaking into the U.S. Bullion Depository at Fort Knox, penetrating the main storage building with the high powered laser, and detonating a “dirty” nuclear weapon inside, thus contaminating the United States gold reserve and thereby dramatically increasing the value of his gold holdings.
If only Auric Goldfinger had known that all he needed to do was to undermine the strength of the U.S. Dollar, the fictitious multi-billionaire could most likely have succeeded with his task much more effectively by shorting the U.S. Dollar than was the case in the film.
Now it may be apparent to you that as a forex trader you can glean some information by watching gold prices, but did you know that many forex brokers now allow you to trade spot gold on the same platform as the one that you currently use for trading currencies? And most likely if your forex trading system or forex software works well for currencies, it will work surprisingly well for trading gold too.
When trading spot gold, like with forex trading, you are not required to take physical delivery of the gold.
So what do we know that might contribute to the future meteoric rise in the price of gold – or otherwise, for that matter!
In the film, James bond is – at one stage, strapped to a slab of gold with a laser beam cutting through that same golden slab and not too far from splitting the noble Mr Bond in two.
James asks: “Do you expect me to talk?”
Goldfinger replies with the all time classic line: “No, Mr. Bond. I expect you to die.”
Well trying to find out what gold may do next is almost as tricky a situation, but we do know some things for sure…Well almost for sure.
Of all the precious metals, gold is the most popular as an investment.
Investors generally buy gold as a hedge or safe haven against any economic, political, social or currency-based crises. These crises include investment market declines, currency failure, inflation, war and social unrest.
Investors also buy gold during times of a bull market in an attempt to gain financially.
So do we currently recognise any of these situations? I would suggest that we most definitely do.
But is gold a “good” investment? Well from a traders’ point of view, it really does not matter, so long as we can accurately predict what it will do next. But to answer that question I quote from an article in Wikipedia:
“In November 2005, Rick Munarriz of Motley Fool.com posed the question of which represented a better investment: a share of Google or an ounce of gold. The specific comparison between these two very different investments seems to have captured the imagination of many in the investment community and is serving to crystallize the broader debate.[26][27] At the time of writing, a share of Google’s stock and an ounce of gold were both near $700. On January 4, 2008 23:58 New York Time, it was reported that an ounce of gold outpaced the share price of Google by 30.77%, with gold closing at $859.19 per ounce and a share of Google closing at $657 on U.S. market exchanges. On January 24 2008, the gold price broke the $900 mark per ounce for the first time. The price of gold topped $1,000 an ounce for the first time ever on March 13, 2008 amid recession fears in the United States.[28] Google closed 2008 at $307.65 while gold closed the year at $866”.
Coincidentally, at the time of writing this article, gold is at $1036 and the most current google share price is $533.43, so I would conclude that for the present at least, gold can be a very attractive investment vehicle.
