Forex mini account

By admin on January 5th, 2009

Many people around the world is looking for entering the world of Forex trading because of its very high profitability
potential. But many of them also worry that they will lose their money. They want to start small. There is now Mini Account for people who want to start small. Although you start small, you can win big, you just need a few dollars and the right strategy to profit from Forex trading.

Mini Account uses a different leverage calculation than a regular (100k) account. Instead of trading full-size currency lots (100,000 units), you’ll trade in lots that are just 1/10 the size (10,000 currency units), which in turn greatly reduces the amount of money you risk in each trade you enter.

The characteristics of a Forex Mini Account are as follow:

  • Minimum required account deposit = $300
  • Recommended required account deposit = $2,000
  • Traded in 10,000-unit currency lots. There is no maximum trading volume on the Mini trading platform.
  • Pips in a Mini Account are worth, on average, $1. Pip is the smallest increment that a currency pair can move. For most currency pairs, a pip is a change in the fourth decimal place of the currency quote. For example, if EUR/USD is quoted at 1.6567 and it moves to 1.6568, it has increased by 1 pip. The value of 1 pip is calculated by the size of the lot that is traded. So, if you buy a standard lot of 100,000 EUR/USD at 1.6567 and it goes to 1.6568, a 1-pip move, then the value of your trade has increased by $10 (or 100,000 x 0.0001). Because Mini Account have smaller contract, the pip value is also smaller that is $1.
  • The Mini Forex account offers up to a huge 200:1 leverage, this means that just a $50 margin deposit will allow you to trade lots worth roughly $10,000.
  • Default Margin: set at 0.5% ($50 per mini-lot)

There is no downside to trading a Forex mini account, you will be enjoying all the benefits that full-size FX account holders enjoy. This mini accounts are ideal for a beginner forex trader to gain experience.

Beware, trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite.

Deciding whether to rent an apartment or a house can be a very difficult decision for you. There are certain advantages and disadvantages to each option. Choosing between renting an apartment or home is largely depends on  personal preference and current needs in a living situation.

Renting a House

By renting a house can can have the opportunity to live in a house for a much more affordable price. By renting a house you can have many options, like the size, number of bedrooms and number of bathrooms. You can also have a backyard which is desirable if you have children or pets.

But renting a house have a great deal of uncertainty regarding the amount of time the renter will be allowed to rent the house. There are no guarantees the homeowner will extend the contract when it is due to expire.

Renting an Apartment

One of the most significant advantages of renting an apartment is the amenities, such as pools, exercise rooms, and saunas. Renting an apartment is usually significantly lower than rent for a house.

A lack of privacy may be one of the most significant disadvantages to renting an apartment. You can also deal with noisy neighbors who listen to loud music or have friends visiting late at night.

When choosing an apartment, list the items that you really needs. Some people are simply looking for a place to eat, bathe and sleep other renters may be looking for a living space which will serve a number of purposes including working, entertaining and participating in leisure activities.

Cup and Handle

By admin on January 3rd, 2009

A cup and handle is a bullish continuation pattern in which the upward trend has paused but will continue in an upward direction once the pattern is confirmed. The cup should be “U” shaped and resemble rounding bottom. The pause happened when there are people who take profit making demand is higher than supply. The smaller the retracement the more bullish it will be. Sometimes it is prudent to wait for a break above the resistance line with high volume.

By admin on January 2nd, 2009

madonnaGuy Ritchie and Madonna have settled their divorce on October 2008.

Rich Dad, Poor Dad is written by Robert Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter. It advocates financial independence through investing, real estate, owning businesses, and the use of finance protection tactics. According to Kiyosaki and Lechter, wealth is measured as the number of days the income from your assets will sustain you. Financial independence is achieved when your monthly income from assets exceeds your monthly expenses.

The book is the story of a person who has two fathers: the first was his biological father (the poor dad) and the other was the father of his childhood best friend, Mike (the rich dad). Both fathers taught the author how to achieve success but with very different approaches.

The educated poor dad but lacks financial literacy, because he does not acquire any valuable lessons about money, simply because it is never taught in school. Poor dad encourage their sons to do well in school so they could get a good job with a good company. Poor dad believed in working hard, and saving money. His poor dad worked hard but somehow never made it ahead financially.

While his little educated rich dad, deliberately takes advantage of the power of corporations and their personal knowledge of tax and accounting. Rich dad give him great lesson by paying him very low wages deliberately so that would stir anger and a sense of injustice and eventually for him to realize that in order to get ahead, one must work for himself and not for others.

Here are the major lessons from the book:

  • The important thing to get rich is by having a strong purpose for living, a determination to be a successful person. You need to have the rich mentality. Instead of dwelling with the fact that you are not rich, ask your self “how can I make more money” because this will stimulates the brain to take action.
  • In order to get rich, one must work for himself and not for others.
  • Understands what assets and liabilities are. The rich build up the asset column and the poor build up the liability column (expenses). Make sure you have assets that gives you income, like real assets, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, income-producing real estate, notes, royalties from intellectual property, etc.
  • Opportunities in life come and go; the rich recognize them instantly and turn them into gold bullions. Others do not see these opportunities.
  • Corporations spend first, then pay taxes on anything that’s left, while individuals must pay taxes first. Individuals may not be aware that they work from January to mid-May to enrich the government by paying taxes on their income. In the meantime, the rich are hardly taxed.
  • People should hire other people who are more intelligent than they because by capitalizing on the knowledge of others, an intelligent individual builds his own knowledge base and therefore has more power over those who don’t know.
  • Direct marketing, and management skills (manage cash flow, systems) are important.
  • Make friends with successful people and people who enjoy talking about money because they may have valuable lessons to share.Learn more from this amazing book:
