Philly,
Forex market or Foreign Currency Exchange market is one of the biggest trading market in the world with over USD 1.3 Trillion traded in a day. It is drawing attention ever since it is open to Online trading. Forex trading can be very profitable if you take your time to do a proper research, understanding various options and choose a system that works for you. The most used Forex trading system may not be the most suitable for your needs.

There are many different kinds of Forex Trading Systems and you need to know a few facts as mentioned below, before choosing and funding a system.

1. Testimonials: Is there anyone out there who is trying to sell a system and show you testimonials from the people who actually didn't like the system? Highly unlikely. You should do proper research before indulging into a system that is completely new to you.

2. Profit: Do you want to work with a Forex Trading system that breaks even? Why? If you keep the money in your home, you will still break even, then why take all the hassles of setting up an Forex Trading account and do all the work. Really speaking, you should always do some research on how profitable a particular trading system is?

3. Drawdown: The maximum drawdown of trading system is defined as the greatest peak-to-valley drawdown in a trading system’s equity. Maximum drawdown gives us a measure of the survivability of the trading system.

4. Time to profit: The actual time it takes to achieve the results with a particular trading system. You should plan to have a long and profitable relationship with your trading system.

Try to use a trading system that let you open a Demo account so that you can practice and learn about Forex Trading without risking any money.

I have tried many of these systems in my quest to simplify my trading experience. I personally have found FreedomRocks to be the system that has worked for me. I have found no bad information on this system from anybody that has actually used it. I have found many skeptics and bashers but nothing from those that have actually tried at least the free trial they offer.

Below are a couple of links I have found in my travels around the web:

Now as far as how much money you would need to gat started I have helped people get started with amounts ranging from $500 up to well over six figures. If you would like I could send you a spreadsheet of how to get started right with just $500 invested on a monthly bugeted basis. The spreadsheet will show you how that investment could easily grow to well over $240,000 within 60 months! Feel free to e-mail me and I will get that right over to you.

I'm a professional trader and please don't use "invest" and trading" in the same sentence! They have totally different goals – investment is for those who want a passive outlook – hold for the long term is their motto. Traders participate in intraday trading.

Don't trade with money you can't afford to lose.

Have an exit plan before you put in a trade.

Intra day is a deadly business – you need to be at least 51% correct to be able to make a profit – don't expect every trade to go your way.

In forex trading you've got 24 hours to trade the markets – in stock markets you only have 6 to 8 hours a day to trade and some stocks don't offer the volatility that would allow you to exit a trade profitably within the day.

The ultimate tip is to trade with the trend – there are certainly profits to be made by a higher risk is involved.

I hear day trading is very hard to be successful at. how about forex trading????

There is enough risk inherent in forex trading without having to worry whether your broker is going to rip you off. The first step to take when choosing a broker is to check whether they are regulated. In the US this should be with both the NFA and CFTC. In the UK the FSA. Second is whether your money is protected. Fortunately, the regulations concerning this have recently changed. As from 21st December 2007 the NFA (National Futures Association) requirements concerning minimum capital came into effect and already four brokers have failed to meet the new criteria.

Briefly the new rules stipulate that brokers must have a minimum capitalization of $5m plus a percentage to cover client funds.

If your broker meets these two requirements the next question is whether your broker is an ECN or FCM dealing broker – ie will his dealing desk be playing against you? This will matter if you want to include scalping as part of your trading strategy.

This is just the beginning of your quest to find a broker which best suits you and the resource list below should help you find the answers you will need.

Good luck.

… only over longer periods of time can there be any rationale to currency price movements, as regards the fundamentals of the economy.

In other words, is intraday trading more like setting chips on a roulette table?

Also, how much of the future (i.e., to what period of time in the future) is priced in to a currency? Does trading in anticipation of the future (speculation) create severe irrationality in price movements in currency? Is speculation a majority of the force behind currency price levels?

Technical analysis sometimes feels like meaningless, wishful thinking.

Also, how do hedge funds trade currencies? Which market do they go through (directly through banks and central banks?) or do they use the market makers that individual traders use?

What is the most theoretically (and practical) way to go about trading currencies? I don't mind sleeping 3 hours a day for fundamental analysis, I've done it- but am I winning for the reasons I think I'm winning?

Staying up all night to day-trade is really difficult. Not only is it boring, but you gotta monitor the screen every 10-15 mins. I have no trouble making 200+ pips every week, the only problem I have is that I am not willing to stay up long nights to make them. I am looking for a day-trading partner who will be willing to stay up long hours to chill and trade. I trade from 11 p.m. U.S. Central to 8a.m. U.S. Central.

The forex market is not in motion at all..Its stationary for past 2 days.

I have a theory on why it is stationary. I have posted that at -

what do you think about the reasons I posted?

Complicated answer to the same thing the rest of the markets are doing: waiting for the other shoe to drop from the Fed.
Then, the USD is in a world of hurt but don't bet your life that it is over for the dollar. It will slide severely for a year or so then come back gangbusters. Trust me.
In the meantime, Canadian bonds is where you should be. Just wait it out.
To one of my earlier questions, some people said I could trade in FX and make money from the movement of exchange rates (I was invited to visit 4xmoneytrain, 4xgenie, etc websites).

The presentations made the concepts clear. I'm based in India. I don't know how to go about these exactly! Who shd I contact? where'll I find a FX broker / FX Broker software using which I can place my deals?

If there's someone who's using this method to earn money, I'd appreciate some personal advise! I guess 2 trillion USD turnover a day has enough for all of us individuals to thrive on!

Thanks, in advance!

I think you'll need a web-based forex trading company.
They have a free ebook on all about forex trading which you can download for free, read and enlighten yourself before you start trading.
You can also invest as little as $25 to test your trading skills.
There are other numerous advantages which they offer as well.
I am a hardcore trader too.
Happy trading…

Forex is a highly liquid market, yes. It is also a very fast-moving market that is conducive to day-trading. However, it's a pretty complicated market to understand, there are a lot of crooks out there, and trading is often done on leverage, which means that a few mistakes can cause you to lose much more than you wagered originally even if you use stops.

I've heard you can make good money in forex, but I would strongly suggest getting very educated about it before getting involved.
