Forex Megadroid Review Automatic Trading

By Frank Rivera

Since the successes of the FAPTurbo, there have been many scalping robots released into the market that are little more than cheap copies. The majority of them don't have the track record of successfully profitable trades and this has led people to avoiding them, believing they were rip-offs. Unfortunately the Forex Megadroid was released at a similar point in time and people instantly assumed it was just another knock-off robot. The truth is there is a lot more substance behind the Forex Megadroid robot than meets the eye.

What does Forex Megadroid do and what can you expect out of it? Forex Megadroid is an expert advisor that can be used with any MetaTrader 4 forex account. This gives you a lot of options for a broker, although you'll want one that has low spreads on the EUR/USD. The robot is a pre-Asian session trader like many other robots.

This software is designed to trade on the pre-Asian trading session and it has the noticeable difference of a different currency pair than the FAPTurbo can offer. The inclusion of the EUR/USD pair allows you more opportunities to trade, especially as the spreads on this pair are very reasonable during the pre-Asian sessions.

The Forex Megadroid can boast having a slightly higher accuracy rate than the FAPTurbo and also many other comparable robots too. It also has the ability to pick entry points that can often be more accurate than its competitors. However, you might notice that the trading strategy used by the Forex Megadroid differs from the majority of other robots.

The robot takes fewer trades, but it has a higher win percentage. In fact, it boasts that it has a 95% win percentage in its trades. This is a good win percentage for anyone, especially a robot.

One of the minor differences with the Forex Megadroid is that it doesn't offer the same level of customization that the FAPTurbo can offer, however this can make it much easier to use for novice traders. The robot makes your trading strategy very simple. You just input the amount you're willing to risk with each trade and the robot will factor in your risk tolerance levels with each trade placed, including stop-loss trades.

If you've never traded on the forex market before, then this robot is ideal. The easy to follow guide can show you how to get your account up and running with your robot so you could be making profits within minutes.

Overall, this is a very effective robot that can get the job done. It's similar to FAPTurbo except it's more accurate and uses a different currency pair. You won't get that many trades, but you can feel more comfortable about the ones that you do get. Check out Forex Megadroid if you've been looking for a consistent way to grow your account. - 23309

Forex Traders Mindset (Part I)

By Ahmad Hassam

Human beings are emotional creatures. It is often said that we are our own worst enemy. In forex trading, this is the ultimate truth. Most of our trading decisions are guided more by emotional than logical thinking. Our mind is capable of playing emotional tricks on us.

Emotions can work against us. Emotions can work for us. Your battles are won or lost in your mind first. Victories are won and lost in ones mind. We can get seduced into unfavorable situations by our emotions. A traders mindset is the most important ingredient of success. If you have the mental strength to control your emotions, you can become a consistently profitable trader.

Forex trading is not for everyone. Do you have a strong desire to succeed in forex trading? You will end up like the majority who end up losing their money if you just want to try your luck or dabble in trading. Do you have the passion for trading forex?

Forex trading requires a lot of self motivation and a strong desire to succeed. In the beginning you may not be able to make many winning trades. You must be highly self motivated in order to become a successful forex trader. You must have a concrete plan of action and not be afraid of failure. Are you ready to devote a lot of time and effort into picking up trading skills and knowledge?

You need knowledge and skills in trading currencies in order to become a successful forex trader. To attain consistent success in forex trading, a huge amount of time, effort and money is required for a trader.

Losses are the inevitable part of lack of experience and knowledge. But even if you develop the experience and knowledge to successfully trade the currency market, you cannot avoid losses. There is an inherent risk in trading currencies. No one can overcome that risk. Are you willing to accept losses as part of trading? You are going to make mistakes while trading. Do you understand that you can suffer losses in trading? Are you willing to learn from your mistakes? Do you have a traders log that you use to reflect on each lost trade and learn from it?

Every trade needs proper planning. Dont try to rush into a trade. Many traders enter into the trade based on someone elses market analysis. Most depend on market analysis from an analyst. If the trade turns out to be a loser, most of us tend to blame the market analysis and the opinion of the analyst. It is easy to blame others.

When you are confident that you have done your analysis to confirm what others are saying only then pull the trigger. Dont be trigger happy! You must reflect on your decision before pulling the trigger. Is it fair to blame the other person when you could have done further market analysis on your own? When you could have planned your trade in a better way, it is foolish to blame others for your mistakes. So accept your responsibility if the trade goes wrong.

Fear and greed are the two most dominant emotions that affect not only the individual traders but also the currency markets. In fact, these two emotions are the main drivers of the forex markets.

Fear and greed are behind the steering wheel of the currency market. Fear makes many traders like you over pessimistic about a currency pair. They start the selling frenzy. Similarly, greed is going to make many traders like you over optimistic in thinking that a currency is going to appreciate. Greed starts a buying frenzy. It develops a bubble based on the irrational exuberance. It is inevitable that this bubble is going to burst. When greed takes over, the market becomes bullish. When fear takes over, the market turns bearish. - 23309

Ways To Make Money Online

By Wilhelm von Mayer

As one who has made a living online for several years, I am often asked "What is the best way to make money online?" Friends, family, and business associates often ask this, and the answers are many. I have made money online a number of ways over the years, and I will share them with you now. I would say no certain one is the best, but each has pluses and minuses that will make them more or less attractive to each individual. The list and some information follows, and they are in no particular order. 1. Ebay

Ebay can be a great way to make money online, as I am sure you have heard. Ebay is particularly attractive if you are able to manufacture something of value well, and for a low cost. Whether it is jewelry, furniture, car kits, pet items, just about anything, if you can make it and do so cheaply, you have a great potential business on your hands. The other possibility is to find access to a desirable product that you can acquire cheaper than most people can. (due to insider info, relationships, geographical or tax advantages, etc.)

Once you have figured out your product or products, spend some time researching similar auctions on Ebay's current and past listings. First, decide if you can compete in the market. Do you have a price, quality, brand or other advantage that will allow you to outsell your competition? Is there high demand and low supply? If the answers are yes, proceed to see what listings are selling for the highest prices, and pay very close attention to their wording, pictures, layout, pricing structure, everything. Learn from people who are making it happen already, instead of wasting time and money learning from your own mistakes.

2. Online Services/Freelancing

If you possess training or talents for in-demand services that do not require your physical presence, you can have a profitable online income. People are always looking for web designers, content writers, article writers, editors, blog and forum posters, talents, and more online. This type of work is especially attractive if you live in a part of the world where the cost of living is low. It is essential in virtually all of these to have strong English language skills.

Great places to find this work include craigslist.org's talent and creative sections (under services), ifreelance.com, and for the more web savvy - the Digital Point forums. Identify your talent, search for people who need your services, and start doing business.

3. Forex Trading

This is definitely one that is gaining popularity. Forex trading is much like the stock market, but instead of trading companies, you are trading the currencies of different countries. Forex brokers allow you to trade 24 hours a day online, and give great leverage, allowing you to and sell hundreds of thousands of dollars worth the currencies for just a few hundred dollars. With news, trading systems, or instincts, you make your trades, and can make quite a great deal of money.

To read more on Forex trading, visit www.forex-info.com to read articles, study systems, find a recommended broker, and discuss Forex trading on the forums there. Use the beginner tools there, find a strategy you like, and open an account with a broker. Deposit some funds, start trading, and hopefully become a successful trader as many others have, or possibly even strike it rich!

4. Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing involves developing or buying websites, using social media (twitter, facebook, etc.), and other web marketing tools to promote other people's products and services. Essentially, you want to create compelling or unique content and messages and use them to drive business to your affiliates. They in turn pay you for each customer you send to them.

Some great resources for finding products and services to promote include clickbank, google adsense, amazon.com, commission junction, and several others. Find a product or service that you either know well, are excited about, or know people who need them and start your business.

There are a great number of ways to make money online, but for me, these are by far some of the best and the most profitable. They can be done with little or no investment, you can start making money today, and are all legitimate and legal ways to make great money online. No matter how you decide to make money online, it will take some work or investment, and require you to believe in what you are doing. - 23309

Forex Buying and Selling and Wall Street - A Brief Version

By Sherman White

Approximately 25 percent of large companies that are exposed to foreign currency fluctuations don't do anything to hedge their risk. Larger companies however do hedge in the currency markets.

For an US based company, when the dollar is strong during their reporting period, accounting for its foreign earned revenue can result in a negative performance. That's because foreign-currency denominated revenue will exchange for fewer dollars when converted and reflect negatively for the accounting period. Having a Wall Street Journal subscription will help find this data.

It has been estimated that 5-10% of the activity on the Forex market is done because of business hedging and government involvement. Governments and businesses need to convert one currency into another to buy and sell goods and services. The other 90-95% is pure speculation.

High profile players love the Forex market since they don't get locked out due to 24 hour trading. The huge liquidity allows for easy inexpensive entry and exit points.

Currencies are traded 24 hours/day. Since every country has different times the hours when the currencies are most liquid coincide with their daylight hours. The heaviest activity occurs in New York from Wall Street.

Make money in Forex is made by having a formula that predicts price movements of a currency pair. Have an exit strategy that is effective can capture a profit often a few times a day.

Professional Wall Street traders usually use a system that allows them to place trades several times a day. Because they trade several times a day, they are called day traders.

There are many financial news services to choose from. The Wall Street Journal's reputation for acute accurate market coverage is legendary. In order to stay abreast of the constantly changing financial landscape, it pays to subscribe to the Wall Street Journal. - 23309

Symmetrical Triangles - Long Trading Strategy with CFDs

By Jeff Cartridge

The symmetrical triangle is sometimes referred to as a wedge. It is a very well known and easily recognized chart pattern that has been used by many successful traders over the years. A symmetrical triangle is formed when the price action is contained within two lines. The top line slopes down while the bottom line slopes up towards the top line. The angle of the two lines is similar giving rise to the name symmetrical.

Symmetrical Triangles, Breakout Unclear

Symmetrical triangles show no clear breakout direction. Just over half (56%) of the patterns break upwards and this is likely due to the upward bias of the markets. The average gain is 0.85% in 9 days with less than half of the breakouts (44%) being profitable.

Refine Your Entries

Surprisingly a break to the upside works better in a falling or consolidating market. By using filters that require the market to be in a consolidation or a down trend you can improve the results. If the sector is consolidating or rising the results also improve. This is more as you would expect.

Symmetrical triangles are sensitive to the length of the pattern with breakouts that occur in less than 25 days, from the start of the pattern, performing the best. While the pattern breakout works best in the range specified, avoid trading patterns that breakout early, in the first 30% of the pattern length.

If the volume is very strong in support of the breakout the results are better. Supportive volume means the volume on the way up is 40% higher than the volume on the way down.

Symmetrical Triangles Can Be Very Profitable

You can improve your trading results by using a series of simple filters that have been outlined here. This select group of symmetrical triangles delivers an average profit of 1.87% in 11 days and is profitable on 55% of the trades. Overall this makes symmetrical triangles attractive to trade.

Note: Statistics for this article have been provided by Patterns Trader after analyzing over 60,000 chart patterns on the Australian market from 2000 - 2008. - 23309
