    Vs. just trading the stock market?
    Is it that day trading is illegal in some countries?
    Is it because it requires less money?
    Is it because it takes less money?
    Point taken and understood.

    Good evening Judy,
    I have to agree with the other answerer about Forex and spam, but as you are a top contributor, I’m going to assume that you are genuine :)

    One of the greatest draws of FX trading stems from the volatility of the movement in currencies. The price of currency pairs can shift significantly over relatively short timeframes, leading to the potential for the realisation of significant profits. Bear in mind though that these movements can equally produce considerable losses. If you’re planning on starting to trade the FX market, you should bear this in mind.

    One of the other appeals stemming from your points above, is leverage (also known in the US as margin I believe). This allows you to open a position in the market which far exceeds the value of the funds available to you. Again, this creates an opportunity to make considerable profits, but also considerable losses.

    The best advice I can give you is to conduct as much research as possible into the market before actively looking to trade it. I hope that the above is useful, Judy.

    Yours sincerely,

    Christopher Kelly

    Forex market is complicated but still challenging to get cash from there. It’s about how to trade in this market for long term.

    If you’re a potential investment player who’d like to make it big in the business and financial world, then you go for forex trading. The FOREX, also known as the foreign exchange market is one of the largest financial markets in the world with and estimate of $1.5 trillion turn-overs every day. Here are a few strategies on how to make it big in the forex market.

    Strategy One: Know your market. The best way to get advantage, earn profit and minimize losses is to familiarize yourself with the market and how the whole system works. In the forex market, the players are usually commercial banks, central banks and firms involved in foreign trade, investment funds, broker companies and other private individuals with large capital. With the speed and high liquidity of asset, most companies engage in this business than in any other trading venture. Transactions are done in a jiffy; there are no membership fees and there is always the allure and promise of big, big profit.

    Trading is done in pairs. The most commonly traded currencies are usually the US Dollar, Japanese Yen, Euro, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Australian Dollar and the Swiss Franc. The more commonly traded currency pairs are the US Dollar and the Japanese Yen, the Euro and the US Dollar, the Swiss Franc and the US Dollar. In Forex trading, everything is speculative and virtual. There is no actual product being sold or bought. The activity mostly consists of computed entries made on the value of one currency against another. Say for example, you can buy Euros with US Dollar, hoping that the Euro will increase it value. Once its value rises, you can sell the Euro again, thus earning you profit.

    Strategy Two: Learn the language. There are three concepts you need to know in the currency market. Pips refer to the increase of one hundredth of a percent of the value of the currency pair you are trading. Usually each pip has a value of $10 or $1. Volume is the quantity or amount of money being traded at one particular time in the market. Buying is the acquisition of a particular currency. A trader buys with the hopes that the price of the currency will increase. Selling is putting a currency up for grabs in the market because of a potential or possibility of a decrease in its value. There are also two techniques of analysis usually used in this business – the fundamental and the technical analysis. Technical analysis is usually used by small and medium players. Here, the primary point of analysis revolves on the price. Fundamental analysis, on the other hand, is used by bigger companies and players with higher capital as it involves looking at the other factors affecting the value of a particular currency. In this type of analysis, the player also looks at the situation of the country, particularly issues like political stability, inflation rate, unemployment rate, and tax policies as these are seen to have an effect on the currency’s value.

    Strategy Three: Develop a sound trading strategy. Your trading strategy would depend on what kind of trader you are. The basic thing with developing a trading strategy is to identify what kind of forex trader you are. A good trading strategy should lessen, if not, eliminate losses. Plan also the size of your transactions. It is better to conduct many different trades than one huge transaction. Not only does it develop discipline, but it also lessens any possible loss as only a fraction of the capital is affected. Part of a trading strategy is developing the values of discipline and proper money management.

    Strategy Four: Practice. Try paper trading, a great way to practice your skills, see how the market works and get acquainted with the software and tools being used. There are online brokers who allow free paper trades, which allows practice and experience before doing it with real money.

    Strategy Five: Choose the right forex dealer. Make sure that they are regulated by the law. Take not of dealers with investment schemes that give out too-good-to-be-true-just-false-hopes promises. Look at investment offers before getting started.

    Forex trading may seem easy and manageable. But the emotional stress, the demands and challenges of being a forex trader requires more than just the knowledge of the market. It requires more than just a keen and sensible head for business. It’s all about a gameplan, a strategy.

    I have a bit of capital I can invest towards starting a home based business or investing (about $2500), and I would like to get some ideas on how I can make some money online, through home business, or personal investments. I have a very analytical mind, and I would like to put it to use.

    I have a weakness in advertising/marketing, but I am very good with budgets, margins, and things to do with numbers. Should I invest the money in the stock market or forex? If so, what kind of return would be "reasonable" for a novice? What other business/money making ideas do you have??

    My advice would be for you to look over this website, it is full of invaluable information that would pertain to your question.

    I am a new student of Forex and realize both offer buy and sell options, both allow a predetermined price, I know the stop order is not guaranteed and the limit order is. I don’t know when the use of one is more appropriate than the use of the other.
    my email is no longer AOL
    please send to ttone4@yahoo.com

    I assume you know the difference between a market order and a limit order.

    A STOP order means you tell the computer what to do, and then you can get up and leave. The computer will send a buy or sell order as if you were there to enter the order yourself.

    Of course, you must tell the computer when you want your order to be sent. The STOP PRICE tells the computer when to send your order. For example, it may send it only if XYZ hits 3.05.

    BUY 40 XYZ @ MARKET
    STOP PRICE = 3.05

    The computer that does this automatic trading is not your computer but the central computer where trades are routed. So, you can enter a STOP order and turn off your computer and leave. The central computer will watch the price for you and send your order when it’s time.

    Unfortunately, in a fast market, the prices may gap up several points and may jump over your STOP PRICE. The computer doesn’t know if you want to buy the stock on the way up or on the way down, so it will sit there and not do anything if the price jumps through your stop price. In this case, your order is not sent. So, a computer is not as smart as a human. It will only send your order if the stop price is EQUAL to the price of XYZ.

    Let’s say that XYZ is trading now at 3.60. You want to buy XYZ if it breaks out above 5.40. Unfortunately, you can’t tell the computer to buy XYZ if it goes above 5.40. You have to provide ONE specific price that will trigger your buy order. So, you better come up with a price that is likely to be hit. You might pick 5.50. So, you would send this order:

    BUY 40 XYZ @ MARKET
    STOP PRICE = 5.50

    You get up and leave. If XYZ starts to move up, it may hit 5.50. And in this case, the computer will send your buy order for you while you’re away.

    Let’s look at another example. XYZ is trading around 14.70 and you want to sell your position in case the price drops below 13.12. Again, you can’t tell the computer to sell below 13.12. You must come up with an exact price where you want the computer to send a sell order. So, let’s say you do this:

    SELL 70 XYZ @ 13.08
    STOP PRICE = 13.10

    This is an example of a stop limit order. Once XYZ hits 13.10, the computer sends your limit order.

    LIMIT and MARKET orders are sent to the pit where they appear on the market makers’ screen. Market orders are executed immediately, but you may have to wait for a limit order to get filled.

    The STOP orders do not get sent to the same place. The STOP order is sent to your broker’s central computer, and it stays there. When the STOP PRICE is reached, this central computer sends your order to the marketplace.

    So, if you send a simple stop order to buy at a certain price, the market makers can’t see your order as long as it is sitting there. But if you send a limit order, the traders and market makers will see your order, and it may affect the price.

    Hi everybody, I have been working and studying Forex for more than 5 years and have good strategy for gaining profits. But I don’t have money to start. Is there anybody interested in investing small amount of money . I will give it back within one month with at least 20% benefits. Even you don’t need to give me the money. Just open an account with a broker and I will manage the account and at the end of the month you will give me my share.

    that is ridiculous
    there is no guarantee you will make any money , never mind enough to pay back 20% in one month

    especially as an absolute beginner

    what happens if you don’t make at least 20% or you LOSE money and can’t pay back your promise? what good are you then?

    you have been working and studying it for 5 yrs and you have no money of your own to invest?

    I have a few Amibroker trade setups with which I wish to trade forex and put it on autopilot. I am aware that Metatrader is capable of automated trading but that will require me to program the Amibropker code into Metatrader, which I am not capable of. Are there any other ways of automated forex trading using the Amibroker code ?
    Also, please help me with he risks involved in automated trading.
    Thanks.

    If you think you WANT to do this, save yourself the effort and BURN your cash. The ONLY people that make money long term from trading are the people that SELL courses on how to trade. The only people that make money short term on trading are the people that actually spend there time doing research themselves. If a computer could make money trading, YOU would be redundant.

    Even foreign non resident non domiciled in the US people trading on US forex platforms online are liable for payment of US taxes from their US-source profits obviously enough -or so I understand- (income/capital gains taxes, and so on)…

    The question is: How are they supposed to do so –filing/reporting income returns and the whole lot of stuff- as they dont live there so they can´t go to the proper tax agency and do it in person?

    The idea of prosecution from the US government for tax evasion due to lack of knowledge doesn’t sound much ‘appealing’ honestly… I mean, personally it’s all that issue about platform-based taxation what makes me most doubtful on investing on forex online from Spain
    So I wonder if those platforms –or the Banks they work with– already apply tax discounts on foreign non resident non domiciled clients’ accounts so to get them rid of all US tax inconvenience –filing potential tax returns included-
    Thank you
    (…I hope being lucky enough to meet across some really skilled/experienced helping people round here…)

    Until you learn how to make FX profits, your question is a moot point.

    More than 90% of FX traders lose money. During the process of learning to trade, you will meet and partner with other traders, brokers, and accountants that set up and manage your accounts that can answer your questions accurately based on the circumstances at hand, rather than some hypothetical situation that doesn’t yet apply.

    Are the governments going to get their taxes? Just keep good records, set aside a percentage of gains, and plan on it. What you call "safe" is a subjective term that means something different to everyone.
