Types Of Automated Forex Trading System.

An automated Forex trading system uses a software that would monitor and buy and sell trades for you, all of these while you are doing something else. Traders and investors, especially those who are newcomers in the trading market, find it quite useful and provide them opportunities to get the profit that they want and target.

Using an automated trading system is very efficient since Forex trade very fast, based on different political, economic and social factors. Sine exchange is open 24 hours a day, monitoring is very important. This makes automated Forex trading system valuable in the Forex trade.

An automated trading system can constantly monitor the Forex market. It can also be programmed to set trades and buy or sell, it can stop losses even if the trader is not present.

There are two types of the automated Forex trading system. They are the desktop and web based systems. What are they and how they operate? Let’s find out.

• Desktop- based system

A desktop based system, of course, would require you to use your computer. Internet connection is not necessarily needed to keep it working, though. All Forex data and charts are saved in the hard drive of your computer. It is necessary for traders using this kind of system to have back-up files. This system is not that popular or preferred among traders. Why?

This kind of system is constantly under security or virus threat. Any kind of this occurrence could trigger your software to lose data, which is why having a back-up is a must. Data and charts could be ruined and cannot be recovered. Other people can also have access to your personal and trading data.

To prevent things like these to happen in your desktop-based system, there are methods that can be done. If you have spare budget, then you can have a computer exclusively just for Forex trading. If you cannot afford it, then you can still do additional safety precautions to safeguard your computer and software.

You can regularly update you back-up file. Make sure to have a password both for your personal and trading data. Having your trading software password protected is also a good idea. Have you anti-virus and trading software updated regularly to make sure that they have the most recent virus and security protection.

• Web/ Internet based system

With the web-based system, there would no need to install additional software in your computer to take advantage of the automated Forex trading system. Your Forex account would be taken care of a web-based provider. The server also handles the storing of your data, the provider is also responsible in security and maintenance. For maximum protection, your data is encrypted and at the same time the provider has a back-up copy in case your data is lost.

A good thing about this is that it allows the trader flexibility. An internet-based system allows the trader to do trade anywhere. Although, there are some who say that it is necessary to have a high-speed internet connection to maximize the gains and effectiveness of the system.

Just like anything else, both systems have its advantages and disadvantages. You just have to make sure that the one that you would be using would be suitable for your needs. Aside from that your technical capability and Forex trading style would be factors on choosing the automated Forex trading system you would be using.

Things You Should Know About Forex Trading

How difficult is it to make money trading the Forex market? How much time does it take to actually be able to make a living trading the Forex market? These and other important aspects of trading are to be discussed in this article.

Trading the Forex market has many benefits over other financial markets, among the most important are: superior liquidity, 24hrs market, better execution, and others. Traders and investor see the Forex market as a new speculation or diversifying opportunity because of these benefits. Does this mean that it is easy to make money trading the Forex Market? Not at all.

Forex brokers agree that 90% of traders end up losing money, 5% of traders end up at break even and only 5% of them achieve consistent profitable results. With these statistics shown, I don’t consider trading to be an easy task. But, is it harder to master any other endeavor? I don’t think so, consider musicians, writers, or even other businesses, the success rates are about the same, there are a whole bunch of them who never got to the top.

Now that we know it is not easy to achieve consistent profitable results, a must question would be, Why is it that some traders succeed while others fail to trade successfully in the Forex market? There is no hard answer to this question, or a recipe to follow to achieve consistent profitable results. What we do know is that traders that reach the top think different. That’s right, they don’t follow the crowd, they are an independent part of the crowd.

A few things that separate the top traders from the rest are:

Education: They are very well educated in the matter; they have chosen to learn every single and important aspect of trading. The best traders know that every trade is a learning experience. They approach the Forex market with humility, otherwise the market will prove them wrong.

Forex trading system: Top traders have a Forex trading system. They have the discipline to follow it rigorously, because they know that only the trades that are signaled by their system have a greater rate of success.

Price behavior: They have incorporated price behavior into their trading systems. They know price action has the last word.

Money management: Avoiding the risk of ruin is a primary subject to the best traders. After all, you cannot succeed without funds in your trading account.

Trading psychology: They are aware of every psychological issue that affects the decisions made by traders. They have accepted the fact that every individual trade has two probable outcomes, not just the winning side.

These are, among others, the most important factors that influence the success rate of Forex traders.

We know now that it is not easy to make money trading the Forex market, but it is possible. We also discussed the most important factors that influence the rate of success of Forex traders. But, how much time does it take to have consistent profitable results? It is different from trader to trader. For some, it could take a life time, and still don’t get the desired results, for some others, a few years are enough to get consistent profitable results. The answer to this question may vary, but what I want to make clear here is that trading successfully is a process, it’s not something you can do in a short period of time.

Trading successfully is no easy task; it is a process and could take years to achieve the desired results. There are a few things though every trader should take in consideration that could accelerate the process: having a trading system, using money management, education, being aware of psychological issues, discipline to follow your trading system and your trading plan, and others.

CFP Franc

The currency of French Polynesia, New Caledonia, and Wallis and Futuna is the CFP Franc, which was introduced in 1945. Typically, one side of the banknote shows landscapes or historical figures of New Caledonia, while the other side features those of French Polynesia. The front of the bill pictured above depicts a coastal landscape of Huahiné and a French Polynesian Tahitian woman; the back shows coral and fish of New Caledonia, and a New Caledonian Melanesian woman wearing hibiscus flowers. Estimated Exchange Rate: 1 U.S. dollar = 84.42800 CFP francs

Forex analysis: some alarming data

The vacation is over and we are about to enter a critical point in the life of this economic downturn. While all the players involved, from Central Bank figures to generic politicians spin the recovery story, alarming data keeps coming out that seeks to undermine this thought.
The notion that all the data is bad is wrong, there are some signs of life though, particularly in Australia and parts of the EU, however it leaves us not with a sense of an imminent recovery, rather a feeling of a protracted one. It seems from the news reports of this past weekend’s G20 meeting that the Central Bankers themselves have toned down their enthusiasm. Jean-Claude Trichet, the ECB President gave cautious words last week, highlighting the fact that in the towers of the powerful, uncertainty is prevalent.
The US itself is having a severe credibility issue. While their in-house economic analysts predict recovering unemployment and sales figures, the actual data is far off from their estimates. Last week we saw what was expected to be a decline in unemployment result in an increase that has brought the US to near 10% levels – 9.6% to be exact – a 26 year high. So we need to ask now what is really going on. And I fear, as my skeptical self has for months, that the answer is elusive, no one really knows.
By all accounts, the Australian Dollar is by far the best performer of recent weeks in the forex trading market– and this comes at the expense of the US Dollar which hit a year low against the Aussie yesterday. Unemployment is looking to taper down a bit as a browse through the classified ads of major Australian news outlets shows a marked increase in job postings – we will find out the real deal on Thursday.
The Bank Of England is the one to watch later this week too, as they meet and will undoubtedly find reason to spoil any party that Sterling buyers were planning – my bet is that they will not wind down their quantitive easing policies and could, in fact, increase them.
The issue at hand that Forex traders need to look at moving forward is the commercial real estate business. While the housing issue seems to have bottomed out and is slowly inching higher, the commercial market is more depressed now than at any point in recent recorded history. Many of the loans used by developers and agents to build and buy property to rent them out will be coming due in the coming months, and just a walk down SOHO in London or SOHO in New York City for that matter will tell you just how that will turn out. With many malls hosting empty stores and many retail giants paring down their operations in many locations, the prospects for the health of the commercial real estate market are grim.
We are about to enter the holiday season, traditionally a buy-fest for consumers – yet confidence around the globe is low and with double digit unemployment, many people will choose to pay their rent or electricity or grocery bills before buying the latest Barbie Doll for Christmas. We are a long way from recovery – even if the leaders of the world choose their words carefully to give the impression otherwise. Don’t be fooled and read for yourselves. The market will not be kind to those that tow the party line – if you want to succeed in this online Forex space, trading the majors needs to be done with caution.
As gold edged near the $1,000 per ounce mark, the Australian Dollar quietly gained across the board on Monday, touching a one year high against the US Dollar. The strength of the Aussie was helped by the announcement of a .6% rise in the Down Under economy, the largest gain in the developed world. Also, the job situation was given a boost as advertisements for jobs in newspapers and interent postings rose for the first time in 16 months.
The official unemployment data is expected this Thursday and analysts are now revising their estimates downward. It is the official government position that the unemployment rate, now sitting at 5.8% will rise to as much as 8.5% by next year however there are now calls for the government to restate that number as it appears the market is improving ahead of estimates.
The US and Canadian markets were closed for Labor day holiday observances so trading was very light on Monday.
The Bank of England will meet on Thursday and it is expected that they will keep interest rates at .5%. However it is of interest to traders whether or not the BOE will expand or contract its credit easing measures.
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand and the Bank of Canada meet on Thursday too and are also expected are expected to keep rates unchanged.
