How is your personal finance condition?

By admin on October 9th, 2009

Are you happy with your personal finance? Does your expense exceed your income? To measure how healthy your personal finance is, you just need to calculate the difference between how much money your receive and how much money you must spend in a month. If you have surplus, then you are good. As you can see there are two component to calculate: income and expense.

You can increase your income by doing something part time. Online business is very popular now and can help you increase your income. One thing that you should have for your income is passive income. This is an income which goes to you without you working. You can get this kind of income from interest of your saving account and stock dividend. Other might invest in forex trading using automated forex robot. But remember forex is very dangerous. You can earn a lot of money and loss a lot of money too.

The second thing you should watch is your expense. Besides your regular expense like food, there are other expense that can make you suffer which is interest from loans and credit card. Remember that your loans and credit card will affect your credit score. With FICO credit score you will know how healthy is your credit.

Forex trading strategy

By admin on November 27th, 2008

Here are some forex trading strategy (you can also use it for option) that can save your life:

  • Set a Stop Loss: Before entering any trade, decide beforehand the amount you are willing to lose and stick to it, set a stop loss on the trade before you enter. I usually set maximum loss of 10%.
  • Do not be emotional about a trade, you will lose some and win some – just know it.
  • Stick to your game plan, move your stop loss as the market moves in your favor and let your profits run.
  • Don’t be influenced: You have your own game plan stick to it
  • Trading is a game of probabilities, and over the long run as long as you stick and implement sound strategies and stay consistent.
  • Success is much more likely to come. To be a successful trader you should never take a position that puts substantial capital in jeopardy. In actuality you will rarely find successful traders who risk more than 10% of their account in any trade. You might want to start small and increase your trade sizes as your confidence grows.
  • Know your risk vs. reward ratio: The minimum ratio you should be using is 2:1, so if you are successful on 50% of your trades you are doing well. For instance, if you are long GBP/USD and you want to earn 30 pips you should not risk more than 15 pips. You should never risk 30 pips in order to make 10 pips.
  • Have adequate capital: You should never trade with money that you cannot afford to lose.
  • Trending or Neutral: Learn to analyze the market; is it a trending market or a neutral market? In a trending market then follow the trend. in a neutral market buy on lows and sell on highs as long as you use stop-losses you are controlling your risk.
  • Don’t fight the trend
  • Averaging – don’t do it: One of the most common mistakes traders make is the continuing adding of a losing position. Averaging will be the death of short-term trades.
  • Know why you are in the trade: Keep a trading log, and write down why you entered a trade.

Learn Forex Market

By admin on October 8th, 2008

To get started in learning about forex trading, you will need to locate the forex trading software, education-learning system you want to use. As you find the games, as they are called, you will enter information about yourself, about what you are interested in learning and then you will download software to your computer. In following the ‘game’, you will learn how to make and lose money in the forex market. This type of game is going to make you more aware of what happens daily, how the markets open and close, and how different the various countries currencies really are.

You will open an online ‘account’ using the gaming system. You will then be able to read the news, find and compare markets, and you will be able to make ‘fake’ trades so you can watch your money build or be eaten away in losses. As you learn the system, using it a few times a week, you are going to be more prepared, more educated and you will be ready to use the forex trades to make money. Of course, you may still need the aid of broker or a company to make your transactions happen but you will better understand the process, what will happen, and what calls you may want to make when you read about the news, the markets, and the currencies in other countries.
