FAP Turbo Forex Trading Robot 101

By Michael Torc

The Forex software sub industry has seen an explosive growth in recent years. There are a lot of Forex trading robots on the market. They are designed to diagnose market conditions and carry out trades robotically without human interference. Automated trading robots eliminate the emotional element. Greed and anxiety cause even experienced traders to make wrong decisions.

All robot manufacturers claim that their Forex trading robots will help you make millions. When you download their product and test it on a demo account, it works like magic. You always see great results in back tests. But when you go ahead and let it operate with real money, you get wiped out in a couple of days.

The problem with many a Forex trading robot is that they use shoddy algorithms. They can only respond to patterns that have occurred in the past. But are not designed to handle abrupt, unique or unpredictable conditions. When an unforeseen market even occurs, they become unstable and stop functioning. Not few Forex traders have lost $10,000 using these badly designed robots. Naturally, there is a lot of resentment about Forex trading robots.

FAP Turbo has adaptive algorithms and uses artificial intelligence.

While most robots only show back results, FAP turbo updates its performance every 15 minutes. Its performance then is almost real-time.

One other great characteristic of this software is that it can work with any size account. It conducts trades without human intervention and its expert adviser runs on a metal trader 4 platform. The advantages of the FAP Turbo Forex trading robot are not limited to:

1) Downloading, installing and setting up the product is a piece of cake. 2) It has a winning rate of 95.9%. It only requires a small investment allowing one to start with as little as $50. 3) Its draw down is only 0.35% compared to most robots that have a draw down of 10% - 20%. 4) The robot can be hosted on a server meaning that your computer does not have to be turned on 24/7 and tied up. 5) Customer support is outstanding. 6) The video tutorials are 5 minutes each, very professionally done and to the point. 7) The user interface is logical and easy to navigate. 8) FAP Turbo requires little or no supervision.

Customers have lifetime access to the membership area. That is the area where you can find tools, videos and interact with other users. FAP Turbo is one of a small number of winners among hundreds of Forex trading robots out there. This one is for real and is not pure hype.

Currency trading always involves risk. Practice on a demo account is always recommended before you trade in the Forex. If you are an unsatisfied customer you can return the product within 60 days and get a full refund.

Personally, I have been a user since 2008. Like most traders, I experimented with a demo account and then moved to live trading. The results have been very good and I look forward to the time when I will be doing online trading full time. - 23309

Forex Trading

By Pete Sandras

One of the biggest markets for trading entities is the Forex market. Recently much information has surfaced in books and on the internet about this exciting new venture for individuals interested in making a little money on the side, or making a career out of it.

However there are some basic strategies that everyone will agree on and you should never hesitate to follow. While I recommend these strategies remember trading in any market requires a lot of patience, a lot of knowledge, a lot of invest time and money and should not be relied upon as your sole source of income.

All of the professionals who are currently making money off of the Forex market understand the risks involved and how much the economy can change the market and directly affect how much money you can make or lose in a day. In addition to the economy needing to be stable your life has to be stable. Trading by nature is a risk, you can lose money or gain it within a day, you can become a financial ruin or a very wealthy person depending on the market, not solely upon your skill or knowledge. You never want to risk enough money that it could affect your lifestyle drastically.

1. Choose a method of learning, or branch out. What I mean is, go to a bookstore, search online, buy an automated robot, whatever you choose to do to get started, you must go at it with the intention of spending hours of studying and learning from previous traders. Even when you get an automated forex software program you can't just sit there and expect it to do everything for you, you must do your research and carefully set it up. There are tons of options in even the most automated programs you must look into and carefully choose from.

2. Manage your life before you manage your forex trading. Don't be rash and believe in all of those get rich quick schemes, they are only playing off of your inability to make calm, calculated decisions when you're infatuated with the idea of making money quickly. You need to have a plan laid out before you spend any money, you need a stable income to pay your rent, and DO NOT expect to suddenly make as much money as they advertise, give it at least 6 months before you can turn a profit.

3. Never rush into a new idea or business venture headfirst without first thinking. Walk before you run, play on weekends with a few percentage points of your income before you quit your job and go all out risking everything you have.

4. The market will always be around as long as people have money. It will also not change, so any initial research you do now, will last you your entire life, so imagine it as investing in a company that continues to grow and grow as you sit on it. So build up your knowledge and sit on it and learn as your revenue grows. - 23309

Types of Trendlines

By Ahmad Hassam

When you learn currency trading as a new trader, it is like building a new car from scratch without an instruction manual. You will acquire quality parts like brakes, wheels, motors, seats, steering wheels etc to build the car.

In order to become a successful trader you need right parts with right instructions to put them together. After all, a part such as a $2.00 gasket can make a big difference and bring your car to a screeching halt.

Understand that forex trading is very different from trading stocks. Companies can file for bankruptcies like Enron or GM or Goldman Sachs. Companies go completely out of business taking their share value to zero. However in case of currencies, there is no threat of a country going bankrupt. The only thing that can happen is a loan default by a poor country.

What can happen is that severe economic changes take place between countries. This can create dramatic changes between the currencies value of different countries. When that happens, it can create an incredible financial return for savvy, educated currency traders.

Learning how to spot a trend that can last from a few hours, several days or several months can create an enormous financial return for the skilled and educated trader. You need to learn how to find the current trend before you enter the markets.

Fighting a trend is like swimming against the current and getting drowned. You should always trade in the direction of the market. Traders make many mistakes. The biggest one is trading in the wrong direction.

Suppose you are an active trader. You dont have the trading software that has the moving trend line indicator. An incorrectly drawn trendline can be the difference between making and losing money in a trade. You will need to learn the skill of drawing correct Trendlines.

There are three types of trend lines. 1) An Inner Trendline. 2) An Outer Trendline and 3) A Long Term Trendline. These three trendlines form on all time frames and in both uptrends and downtrends.

In any uptrend draw a straight line connecting levels of support without penetrating bodies or wicks of a candle. Correctly drawn trendlines can project future levels of potential support in an uptrend and future levels of resistance in a downtrend.

Draw inner up trendlines by finding the last two support levels. Draw the line from left to right. Draw the outer up trendline by starting at the far left of the chart. Move to the right and connect the majority of the support levels with a straight line.

Go on a larger time frame like daily or weekly. Draw the longerterm trendline by connecting the support levels starting from the far left of the chart moving forward. Instead of a support level, use the resistance level to draw trendlines in a downtrend. That means all the rules are the same but in the opposite direction. The market reacts the same way in a downtrend as an uptrend but in an opposite direction. - 23309

How to Trade Forex? It's a Snap!

By Steve Maenshel

How to trade Forex? Trading Forex is a piece of cake. It is really not as hard as it seems to be. Forex trades involve entering the trade at the right time, as well as exiting also at the right time. All you have to do is select a currency pair, select the desired amount of the base currency that you wish to trade and choose whether you would like to sell or to buy. Next you will have to wait for a profitable time to exit your transaction, and there you are. In order to learn how to trade Forex and to start consistently choosing the winning transactions, you will have to practice on a demo account for several months.

Trading with a Demo Account

The easiest way to learn how to trade Forex is using a demo account. Any mistake that you make while trading on a demo account will not incur any losses. For example, if you buy or sell the currency at the wrong time, if you click the "wrong button" while trading, and so forth. Give your demo trading enough time. Jumping into live trades before you do your homework will merely put you among the 90% of the day traders, who fail in Forex.

Understanding Currency Pairs

How to trade Forex with the best currency pair? Which currency pair to go with? It is better to first go with the most traded currency pair - USD/EUR: Trade with this currency pair, until you know it like the back of your hand. Do not start trading with other currency pairs until this one becomes your "friend". All currency pairs are different; they are all tied to different countries and different reasons behind fluctuations, such as news, political situation and so on. Try to get a feel for one currency pair at a time, starting with the most traded one (USD/EUR).

Understanding Currency Quotes

Learn to understand the currency quotes, because Forex trades are done in terms of quotes. Quotes are two-sided, and involve two prices: Bid price (price at which base currency will be sold, simultaneously buying the counter currency) and Ask price (price at which base currency will be bought, simultaneously selling the counter currency). Understanding of Bid/Ask is one of the first steps in learning how to trade Forex.

Each currency quote consists of two currencies. The first currency in the pair is called the base currency and the second one is called the counter currency. The value of the first currency always equals one, while the value of the second currency is calculated against the first currency. Forex prices are expressed in pips, being the fourth decimal of the price. Understanding quotes is vital in order to learn how to trade Forex.

Margin and Leverage

In order to safeguard your capital, learn how to trade Forex without taking leverage from a broker. If you can put down a small amount of your own money (called margin), the dealer will provide you with more money (called leverage). Leverage will allow you to trade with more lots. Is margin trading good or bad? Same as bank loans and mortgages, margin trading may be both good and bad. While providing you with more opportunities, it will also tremendously increase the possibility of losses.

No matter what dealers may say, they often do not care much about the outcome of your trades. Dealers are similar to banks, which are willing to provide you with a loan, and they do not care much if you will lose your property for example. You will still have to pay back the loan, as well as the interest to the bank. You should try to never trade on a margin since the outcome may be frightening. You should consider trading on a margin only after you gain sufficient knowledge of how to trade Forex.

It's very easy to learn how to trade Forex. However, how to trade Forex with a profit? Allow enough time to train on a demo account before proceeding to real-life trading. - 23309
