Using Forex Demo Accounts to Learn Forex Trading by Darren Vincent

Getting started in Forex Trading can be a daunting prospect especially if your only previous financial experience was just balancing your check book. You could start with reading all there is in the library about money markets and Forex trading and then move on to opening an account with a Forex Broker and start trading in the hope that all that reading up has sunk in and you'll be trading like the best of them. Or you can dive straight in with using a live account and keep asking the brokerage firm for help and hope they are going to give you sound advice and explain how it works so you don't lose all your money. Or you could download a free ebook to find out if you want to go ahead with trading on the Forex markets and then open a Forex demo account to help you get acquainted with how it all works in practice without risking the shirt off your back!
There are a lot of Forex Demo Accounts out there to choose from and you do have to do a little research sometimes to find the right Forex demo account to use as each one varies in complexity and the help that is available. Another variable is how long you can operate your Forex demo account. Most Forex demo accounts last for 30 days but others can be six weeks, six months and just a few offer unlimited time. Some Forex brokers will allow you to extend your account time without making you open a Live account while others will require you to change from a demo account to a Live Forex trading account, which is a daunting prospect indeed if you are still trying to grasp the essentials of Forex trading.
The amount of personal information required to open accounts varies, but, if you are serious about trading Forex and not treating it as an online game, then this shouldn't matter, but be careful to check on site security as some will require your Social Security number for tax purposes.
There are a just couple of other things to consider when choosing a Forex demo account and these are; size of the account, i.e practice money they give you, and whether they offer real time or close to real time rates. I guess that all sounds a bit complicated but I can assure you that it really is not.
Using a Forex demo account is a GREAT way to dip your toe in the waters of Forex trading without completely taking the plunge or even worse, taking a bath! With the right Forex demo account you could quickly grasp the essentials of Forex trading and gain confidence enough to open a live account and start trading for real and the best thing is that they are FREE!
So shop around and see which Forex demo accounts you find suit you best and start practicing and if you don't find the Forex demo account that works for you then simply close it and find another Forex demo account and try that one out!

How Forex Works (Foreign Exchange Market) by Robert D McKinley

In the Foreign Exchange Market (Forex) you buy one currency while simultaneously selling another currency. That is why currency exchange rates are always quoted in pairs. For example: GBP/USD (British pounds/U.S. dollars). Okay, that sounds simple enough; but how does it actually work?
When you buy or sell a currency, your expectation is that the price of the currency you bought will increase in value (appreciate) in relation to the currency you sold or, conversely, if you sell a currency, your expectation is that the price of the currency you sold will decrease in value (depreciate).
Currency Pairs: Again, currency rates are quoted in pairs because in every foreign exchange transaction one currency is bought while another is sold. It is a simultaneous transaction.
The currency listed to the left of the slash ("/") is known as the base currency and the currency listed to the right of the slash ("/") is called the counter or quote currency. For example, with the GBP/USD currency pair, GBP is the base currency and USD is the counter or quote currency.
Exchange Rates: An exchange rate is the ratio of the value of one currency compared to the value of another currency. For example, the GBP/USD exchange rate indicates the value of British pounds compared to U.S. dollars and U.S. dollars compared to British pounds.
Example exchange rate: GBP/USD = 1.3900 tells us that it would cost 1.3900 U.S. dollars to buy 1 British pound. Also, if you wanted to sell 1 British pound, you would receive 1.3900 U.S. dollars on the sale.
So you see, the base currency is the "basis" for either a buy or a sell transaction.
If you buy EUR/USD this means that you are buying the base currency and simultaneously selling the quote currency.
Further, you buy the pair when you think the base currency will increase in value (appreciate) relative to the quote currency and,
conversely, you sell the pair when you think the base currency will decrease in value (depreciate) relative to the quote currency.
NOTE: In the above scenarios, if you buy a pair you go "long" and if you sell a pair you go "short." Transaction Example
You buy 10,000 Euros at the EUR/USD exchange rate of 1.29
It costs you 12,900 U.S. dollars. (Much less out-of-pocket with a margin account.)
If the Euro appreciates to 1.39 (GBP/USD = 1.3900) against the U.S. dollar and you decide to exchange the Euros you bought, back into U.S. dollars, you would receive 13,900 U.S. dollars in the transaction for a profit of 1,000 U.S. dollars. (13,900 you received in the sale minus 12,900 you paid when you bought the Euros.)
Once again, you buy a pair (go long) when you think the base currency (the first one in the pair) will appreciate and you sell a pair (go short) when you think the base currency will depreciate.
Bid/Ask Spread:
There are two prices in all FOREX quotes-the "bid" and the "ask."
The bid is always lower than the ask.
The bid is the price at which the dealer is willing to buy the base currency in exchange for the quote currency. Thus, the bid is the price at which you (the trader) can sell.
The ask is the price at which the dealer will sell the base currency in exchange for the quote currency. Thus, the ask is the price at which you can buy.
The difference between the bid and the ask price is known as the "spread."
GBP/USD Price Quote Example
1. The bid price is 1.3950 and the ask price is 1.3954. 2. To buy GBP, you click "Buy" and you will have bought British pounds at 1.3954. 3. To sell GBP, you click "Sell" and you will have sold British pounds at 1.3950.
To Buy Or To Sell, That Is The Question!
We list many Courses and eBooks on this website that can help you learn whether to buy or sell and when to do either one. You will also find trading systems and trading software here that can tell you if and when it is a good idea to make a trade. Meanwhile, here are a couple of very simple examples of how you might go about making these decisions.
Example 1:
EUR/USD (Euro is the base currency and thus the "basis" for the buy/sell.)
You expect the U.S. economy will continue to weaken, and that the Euro will appreciate against the U.S. dollar, so you decide to execute a Buy EUR/USD order. If you expect the opposite to happen, you would, logically, decide to execute a Sell EUR/USD order.
Example 2:
USD/JPY (USD is the base currency and thus the "basis" for the buy/sell.)
Because you have been watching the world economic news, you believe that the Japanese Yen is going to weaken (depreciate) against the U.S. dollar. Therefore, you decide to buy the USD/JPY pair in the expectation that the U.S. dollar will appreciate against the Yen. But if you see a different scenario in which you believe the Yen will strengthen against the dollar, you would, logically, decide to sell the pair.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Good Forex brokers simplify all of this and make your trading as streamlined as possible with user-friendly trading platforms.

Fear & arrogance in Forex trading by Lance Owen

All the forex market trading knowledge in the world is not enough to help, unless you have the balls to buy and sell currencies and put your own money at risk. As with the lottery "You gotta be in it to win it". Trust me when I say that the simple task of hitting the buy or sell key is difficult to do when your own money is at risk.
You will feel anxious, even fear. Here we have the moment of truth. Do you have the courage not to be afraid and act anyway? Unless you can conquer or accept your fear and do it anyway, you will have a hard time being a successful trader.
Once you learn to overcome your fear, and it does get easier, the inverse reaction can become an issue - you become overconfident and not focused. Start by accessing yourself. What type of person are you? Are you the type that can control their emotions even under extreme stressful conditions? Or, are you the type of person who is overconfident,cocky or arrogant? Then you will be prone to take more risks than you should. Before your first real trade you need to look inside yourself and get the answers. We can correct any inadequacies before they result in paralysis (FEAR) or a huge loss (ARROGANT). A huge loss can end your trading career instantly, or prolong your success until you can raise additional capital.
Both the inability to initiate a trade, or close a losing trade can create serious psychological issues for the trader going forward. By calling attention to these potential stumbling blocks beforehand, you can properly prepare prior to your first real trade and develop good trading habits from day one.
The difficulty doesn't end with "pulling the trigger". In fact what comes next is equally or perhaps more difficult. Once you are in the trade the next hurdle is staying in the trade. When trading foreign exchange you exit the trade as soon as possible after entry when it is not working. Most people who have been successful in non-trading ventures find this concept difficult to implement. Please refer to Success or Failure
For example, real estate tycoons make their fortune riding out the bad times and selling during the boom periods. The problem with trying to adapt a 'hold on until it comes back' strategy in foreign exchange is that most of the time the currencies are in long-term persistent, directional trends and your equity will be wiped out before the currency comes back.
The other side of the coin is staying in a trade that is working. The most common pitfall is closing out a winning position without a valid reason. Once again, fear is the culprit. Your subconscious demons will be scaring you non-stop with questions like "what if news comes out and you wind up with a loss". The reality is if news comes out in a currency that is going up, the news has a higher probability of being positive than negative (more on why that is so in a later article).
So your fear is just a baseless annoyance. Don't try and fight the fear. Accept it. Have a laugh about it and then move on to the task at hand, which is determining an exit strategy based on actual price movement. As Garth says in Waynesworld "Live in the now man". Worrying about what could be is irrational. Studying your chart and determining an objective exit point is reality based and rational.
Another common pitfall is closing a winning position because you are bored with it; its not moving. In Football, after a star running back breaks free for a 50-yard gain, he comes out of the game temporarily for a breather. When he reenters the game he is a serious threat to gain more yards - this is indisputable. So when your position takes a breather after a winning move, the next likely event is further gains - so why close it?
If you can be courageous under fire and strategically patient, foreign exchange trading may be for you. If you're a natural gunslinger and reckless you will need to tone your act down a notch or two and we can help you make the necessary adjustments. If putting your money at risk makes you a nervous wreck its because you lack the knowledge base to be confident in your decision making.
Many new traders believe all you need to do to trade profitably in the foreign currencies are charts, technical indicators and a small bankroll. Most of them blow up (lose all their money) within a few weeks or months; some are initially successful and it takes as long as a year before they blow up. A tiny minority with good money management skills, patience, and a market niche go on to be successful traders. Armed with charts, technical indicators, and a small bankroll, the chance of succeeding is probably 500 to 1.
To increase your chances of success to near certainty requires knowledge; acquiring knowledge takes hard work, study, dedication and focus. Compile your knowledge without taking any shortcuts, thereby assuring a solid foundation to build upon.

Forex - What are PIPs? by Robert D McKinley

Profit and loss in Foreign Exchange Trading (Forex) is measured in a unit of currency measure called a PIP. So it is important that you know what PIPs are and how to use them as a Forex trader. So take a look and learn.
I gave a brief description of PIPS in How Forex Works. Now, I'll go into more detail about what they are and how they are used in Foreign Exchange Trading (Forex).
Pip Basics
A Pip is the smallest increment in any currency pair rate. Since a pip is the smallest increment in a rate quote, it is represented at the last digit to the right of the decimal point. For example, in the currency rate EUR/USD = 1.3904 the last digit on the right is what you will use to calculate pips. If the currency rate has only two decimal places like the USD/JPY pair (USD/JPY = 119.56) the last decimal place is still a Pip.
Pips are used to calculate profit and loss in FOREX transactions. For example, if you buy when the rate is EUR/USD = 1.3901 and sell when the rate is 1.3906, you earned 5 pips on the trade. (1.3906 - 1.3901 = .0005 or 5 pips)
How to Calculate Pip Values (If you really want to.)
The math in this part gets just a little tiresome but there is good news: You really don't need to do these calculations yourself because most FOREX brokers do it for you, automatically. Still, I provide the formula here in case you just want to know how to do it.
So just how much in dollars is the movement of one or more pips worth-for example, per 10,000 Euros in EURUSD? How much is one pip worth per 10,000 Dollars in USDJPY? To demonstrate, we will refer to 10,000 units of the base currency, as the "Notional Amount."
The formula for calculating a pip value is:
One pip, (with proper decimal placement)/currency exchange rate) x Notional Amount
Example with USDJPY: (.01/130.46) x USD10,000 = $0.77 or 77 cents per pip
Example with EURUSD: (.0001/.8942) x EUR10,000 = EUR 1.1183
Now, in the EUR/USD example, we want the pip value in USD, so we must multiply EUR1.1183 x (EURUSD exchange rate): EUR 1.1183 x .8942 = $1.00
This is a phenomenon you will see with any currency where the currency is quoted first (such as EUR/USD, GBP/USP, or AUD/USD): the pip value is always $1.00 per 10,000 currency units. This is why pip (or "tick") values in currency futures, where the currency is quoted first, are always fixed.
Approximate pip values for the major currencies are as follows:
(per 10,000 units of the base currency)
USD/JPY: 1 pip = $.77. A change from 130.45 to 130.46 (1 pip) is worth about $.77 per $10,000.
EUR/USD: 1 pip = $1.00 (.8941 to .8942 is worth $1.00 per 10,000 Euros.)
GBP/USD: 1 pip = $1.00 (1.4765 to 1.4766 is worth $1.00 per 10,000 Pounds.)
USD/CHF: 1 pip = $.59 (1.6855 to 1.6866 is worth $.59 per $10,000.)
At this point, you may be thinking that 1 pip multiplied by 10,000 units of a currency doesn't add up to much money and that you will need a lot of capital to become a viable trader! Not to worry: Take a look at Forex Math to learn how leverage and margin accounts make trading in Forex work for just about everyone.
Remember: You really don't need to do these calculations yourself because most FOREX brokers do it for you, automatically.

Foreign exchange market is different from the stock market by Sutikno Slamet

The foreign exchange market is also known as the FX market, and the forex market. Trading that takes place between two counties with different currencies is the basis for the fx market and the background of the trading in this market. The forex market is over thirty years old, established in the early 1970's. The forex market is one that is not based on any one business or investing in any one business, but the trading and selling of currencies.
The difference between the stock market and the forex market is the vast trading that occurs on the forex market. There is millions and millions that are traded daily on the forex market, almost two trillion dollars is traded daily. The amount is much higher than the money traded on the daily stock market of any country. The forex market is one that involves governments, banks, financial institutions and those similar types of institutions from other countries. The
What is traded, bought and sold on the forex market is something that can easily be liquidated, meaning it can be turned back to cash fast, or often times it is actually going to be cash. From one currency to another, the availability of cash in the forex market is something that can happen fast for any investor from any country.
The difference between the stock market and the forex market is that the forex market is global, worldwide. The stock market is something that takes place only within a country. The stock market is based on businesses and products that are within a country, and the forex market takes that a step further to include any country.
The stock market has set business hours. Generally, this is going to follow the business day, and will be closed on banking holidays and weekends. The forex market is one that is open generally twenty four hours a day because the vast number of countries that are involved in forex trading, buying and selling are located in so many different times zones. As one market is opening, another countries market is closing. This is the continual method of how the forex market trading occurs.
The stock market in any country is going to be based on only that countries currency, say for example the Japanese yen, and the Japanese stock market, or the United States stock market and the dollar. However, in the forex market, you are involved with many types of countries, and many currencies. You will find references to a variety of currencies, and this is a big difference between the stock market and the forex market.

The World Wide Forex Market by Sutikno Slamet

Forex is a trading 'method' also known as FX or and foreign market exchange. Those involved in the foreign exchange markets are some of the largest companies and banks from around the world, trading in currencies from various countries to create a balance as some are going to gain money and others are going to lose money. The basics of forex are similar to that of the stock market found in any country, but on a much larger, grand scale, that involves people, currencies and trades from around the world, in just about any country.
Different currency rates happen and change every day. What the value of the dollar may be one day could be higher or lower the next. The trading on the forex market is one that you have to watch closely or if you are investing huge amounts of money, you could lose large amounts of money. The main trading areas for forex, happens in Tokyo, in London and in New York, but there are also many other locations around the world where forex trading does take place.
The most heavily traded currencies are those that include (in no particular order) the Australian dollar, the Swiss franc, the British pound sterling, the Japanese yen, the Eurozone eruo, and the United States dollar. You can trade any one currency against another and you can trade from that currency to another currency to build up additional money and interest daily.
The areas where forex trading is taking place will open and close, and the next will open and close. This is seen also in the stock exchanges from around the world, as different time zones are processing order and trading during different time frames. The results of any forex trading in one country could have results and differences in what happens in additional forex markets as the countries take turns opening and closing with the time zones. Exchange rates are going to vary from forex trade to forex trade, and if you are a broker, or if you are learning about the forex markets you want to know what the rates are on a given day before making any trades.
The stock market Is generally based on products, prices, and other factors within businesses that will change the price of stocks. If someone knows what is going to happened before the general public, it is often known as inside trading, using business secrets to buy stocks and make money - which by the way is illegal. There is very little, if any at all inside information in the forex trading markets. The monetary trades, buys and sells are all a part of the forex market but very little is based on business secrets, but more on the value of the economy, the currency and such of a country at that time.
Every currency that is traded on the forex market does have a three letter code associated with that currency so there is no misunderstanding about which currency or which country one is investing with at the time. The eruo is the EUR and the US dollar is known as the USD. The British pound is the GBP and the Japanese yen is known as the JPY. If you are interested in contacting a broker and becoming involved in the forex markets you can find many online where you can review the company information and transactions before processing and becoming involved in the forex markets.

Automated Forex Trading - Clever yet Effective Technology by Michael Hogan

Forex trading is unique in various aspects. Its trading volume is relatively huge compared to other market. It has extreme liquidity or the capability of either buying or selling the currency without causing significant movement in the market price.
It has the largest number and variety of traders. It is one of the markets that have long trading hours (24 hours each day, except during weekends. Trading locations are almost everywhere, not just in the United States or major cities of Europe. There are different factors that affect foreign exchange rate.
Another whooping fact that will make you excited to go on Forex trading: it has an average turnover in traditional foreign exchange market of around $1.88 trillion daily, according to the Triennial Central Bank Survey of the BIS (Bank for International Settlements).
It is estimated to reach as high as 4 to 5 trillion dollars within the next few years, if the number of traders around the world will continue to increase. As a matter of fact, everyone have the chance of getting a substantial slice of the Forex market wealth pie, especially that the Forex trading marketing is now on its automation process.
The concept of automation becomes the new trend to the foreign exchange trading market. The Interbank spot Forex market has also considered switching to the automated method as well.
There are several benefits that a Forex trader can derive from automated Forex trading. Here are some of such benefits and figure out why Forex trading as well as other investments (futures and commodities) prefer the automated process.
Through automated process, transactions can now be done in real time. Although manual systems have existed for quite some time now, it is difficult to achieve such benefit that the automated Forex system can offer to its traders. All of the trades can happen within a few milliseconds and can be a big plus for automated transactions against the manual system.
In fact, there are problems that are addressed using automated Forex trading especially if the trader is losing a few times in a row that prevents him from making new trades. Such problem could be addressed using the automatic trading system.
With automated Forex trading, you will have a greater diversification. It means that you can trade in various markets in different time zones at a time. You can execute trades with traders from Singapore or London even it is already 12 midnight in the United States. This benefit allows you a multiple exchange model option. You can use varying trading models to evaluate short-term data.
This means that you will be able to predict the trend for a shorter period of time, let us say from fifteen minutes to half an hour. As previously mentioned, the Forex market is unique because of its extreme liquidity. This liquidity is increased when the market goes automated.
Risk management problems are solved through automated Forex trading. International checks, which are commonly used in making purchases on Forex market, are synchronized through automated technology. Since the transaction in an automated process is now on real time, there is a slim chance that the payments will be delayed, reducing the risk of non-payment by either parties.
Although there are problems noted with the use of the automated system, it can be fixed through consistently-updated technologies. Given the quick yet efficient trades on varying time zones, automated Forex trading will now be among the existing lucrative business around the world.

What is a trading system? by Dang Nguyen

A trading system is merely an approach to organizing facts and understanding relationships about markets. Presumably, the idea behind a trading system is to arrive at a series of steps which, generally translated, result in expectations based on if-then scenarios. It is presumed that by following the procedures and rules of a trading system which has been effectively back-tested, the trader will, assuming perfect adherence to the rules, produce profitable results. At the very least, it is hoped that the trader will stand a better chance of profiting through the use of a trading system than through the use of no system.
I have serious doubts about both assumptions. Here's why. A trading system is developed by imposing a hypothetical and artificial framework upon a set of data which has a considerable amount of built-in random behavior. The course of trading system development consists of trial and error until an effective combination of market indicators has been ascertained. These indicators, frequently combined with principles of risk management, purportedly indicate what would have happened historically had they been applied to the particular market or markets. In the vast majority of cases, the trading system themselves do not reveal any underlying truths or realities about the markets but rather reveal that a superficially imposed set of rules can result in acceptable results provided the two essential elements of all trading are contained within that system. And these two elements are the limitation of losses and the maximization of profits. In other words, extensive system testing reveals that the vast majority of trading systems produce results which are accurate 50 percent of the time or less. Trading systems which are correct 60 to 75 percent of the time are fairly rare, and those which are correct 70 percent of the time or more are extremely rare (assuming a reasonably large data sample). The lengthier the historical test, the less accurate the results. Statistically, this is called regression to the mean. Putting it in plain old-fashioned English, most trading systems don't work. And again, in plain old-fashioned English, trading systems which have the principles of risk management built into them increase the odds of success dramatically. The random walk hypothesis as proposed by Malkiel in his classic book A Random Walk
Down Wall Street (Norton, New York, 1973) poses a particularly cogent argument in opposition to system development. Malkiel's thesis is that the vast majority of market behavior is random, and hence, attempts to predict prices are essentially useless and moreover unprofitable. Although I don't fully agree with everything Malkiel has said in his classic book, I do believe that he has made some good points. I have long felt that traders who can consistently follow a rational, unoptimized method of trading and who can, at the same time, employ strict principles of risk management can, at the same time, employ strict principles of risk management can achieve profitable results, possibly equal to or greater than the results which may be achieved by rigid trading system followers. The essence of any trading system is not the system itself but rather its approach to risk management and the skill of the trader implementing that system.

Forex Trading Training - All You Need to Know About by Kelly Wiggins

Due to the possibility of high profits in forex trading, more and more people are getting attracted towards forex trading. Many people are ending up in the middle of no where entering Forex trading just because they do not have proper knowledge and are not trained to be a Forex trader.

Forex Pips - Why You Should Understand Them by Margaret Tye

Many newcomers to the Forex market begin trading without fully understanding the importance of Forex pips. Lack of knowledge is one of the quickest way to lose money when trading currency.
A pip is the smallest unit of price when trading a foreign currency. It equals 0.0001 ( 4 decimal points), giving a pip value of $10 on a lot of $100,000. If the market fluctuates widely, this can mean a large profit or loss. The Japanese yen is traded to 2 decimal points 0.01, and this should be remembered if trading the yen. Traditionally prices have been quoted out to 4 decimal points, but many electronic platforms now quote to 5 decimal points, the last point being a fractional pip.
As well as the risk of losing money, understanding Forex pips is also essential in the actual process of buying and selling currency. Small traders use a broker to implement their trade. Unlike the stock market, most brokers do not charge a commission, instead there is a difference, known as the spread, between the buying and selling price measured by pips. For example, when buying dollars using Swiss francs USD/CHF 1.6250/1.6253, the difference of 3 pips is the broker's profit. It is necessary for the currency to rise by the difference between the initial buying and selling price before any profit can be made when selling again. If a currency is particularly active, the broker may only quote a difference of 2-3 pips between the buying and selling price, However if there is little demand for a currency, the gap may be considerably wider and it will be harder to make a profit. New traders should always confirm a broker's policy regarding spread before starting to trade.
In order to minimize the risk of a loss, new traders should act cautiously before committing large sums of money. They should practise for several months on the dummy trading platforms provided by most good Forex brokers and if possible take a course on trading. There are a number of courses available online. Forex pips can be confusing and it is easy to make an expensive mistake. When ready to trade, newcomers can open one of the mini Forex accounts offered by many brokers, which can be started for as little as $200.
Finally Forex trading is a high risk investment and not everyone is suited. This article is for information only and the author accepts no liability for the accuracy or for any action taken.

Forex Money Management â€" No-Nonsense Style by Tim Barnby

If a Forex trading system promised to (and you KNEW it would) consistently make you money, would you pay $1,500.00 for it? How about signals? If you knew that a signal provider would make you $2,000.00 per month, would you pay $1,500.00 per month for the service? Of course you would. You’re smart enough to add and subtract. If you wouldn’t pay $1,500.00 for signals that produce $2,000.00, please do us both a favor and switch from trading to something in the retail industry or something. Perhaps a Wal-Mart greeter?
Would you pay $1,500,00 for a forex money management system? Ummmm…probably not. I’ve actually asked these questions in my trading room. Clients almost always answer the questions the same way. Of course they will pay top dollar for profitable systems and signals. When it comes to money management and the mental-game of trading, they answer negatively. There are reasons for this that I’ll get into later. This is a money management article.
There are probably more than 100,000 different Forex systems available for purchase on the Internet. Some of them are good and some of them are crap. All of them will make pips when the market is in tune with their signals. I say that they make pips because they don’t necessarily make profit. Positive pips counts do not equal positive equity. Pips and profit do not have a strong positive correlation. I have proven this dozens of times in the past and will prove it again on my website in a video. I know, I know…you’re tired of seeing that you canm lose 300+ pips while gaining money. If you’re tired of hearing it and still losing money, you might want to take a serious look into your goals.
People are superstitious. We think we have a $10,000.00 account even after a 30% drawdown. We always try to sling a big line, no matter what our current financial condition is. Even worse is the poor guy who has to “get back” at GBPJPY for the 300 pip loss he took in the previous trading session. A trader can’t get back at the market. The market is bigger than all of us, and she’ll take what ever we offer her, whenever she wants. The idea behind money management is to not offer her much (even less when we’re losing) and take more from her when she’s generous. Proper money management will protect you from yourself. Money management is no different from everything else in the trading profession. It’s a series of steps that are taken every single time you trade. When I wake up in the morning I put on my pants before I step out the door. When I get in the car, I put the key in before I drive away. When I open a trade, I follow my money management steps. It’s that routine. It’s so routine that it requires absolutely NO THOUGHT! No deliberation, no self-negotiation. There are no exceptions to trading rules. I view trading rules much like I approached combat in the Army. Exceptions get you killed! Excuse yourself one time from following your rules and your blood will be sprayed all over the room. Get it? Do you see how important it is to follow these rules? Just in case you didn’t get this earlier, I’ll say it again here: There are no exceptions to money management rules. If you break your money management rules, I’m going to be spending ALL of your money instead of a little bit of it. Remember that every trader in the market wants you to lose. It is a market. We’re traders, not investors. We make a living speculating on psychology, supply and demand. Even the best system has long periods of drawdown.
When a non-professional trader is on a winning streak, he tends to attribute it to his trading genius. The next Jesse Livermore gets five winning trades and is now a guru… This is the point where he makes a fatal mistake. He places a trade…a big trade. He takes his $13,000.00 and puts on 5 standard lots. Why not? He is a Rock Star trader now…a real veteran. Price turns against him by 20 pips. He can’t stand the thought of losing $1,000.00 in five short minutes, so he moves his stop loss. He fools himself into thinking that he made the right trade. The market is just acting wrong. It’ll turn around for sure. Another 20 pips should do it. An hour later, price is almost to his new stop loss. He’s now about to lose $2,000.00. He can’t lose. The market will turn around. He moves the stop loss back by another 100 pips this time. He goes to bed knowing his position is safe. It’ll never move another 100 pips against him. After all, the 15 Minute trend IS Bullish and the 5 Minute stochastic is already almost over-sold, and the MACD is clearly in an up-trend. He can almost smell the leather in the new Porsche he’ll buy with the winnings from this massive trade. He wakes up and rushes to his computer. He sees that his trade is closed out…his new balance is $5,000.00. He sees that he’s gotten a margin call. All that he has left is the money that he had leveraged. Don’t laugh. I know the guy that this exact scenario happened to. He’s since become an excellent trader.
If the same trader had used sound money management and risked 3%, he’d have hit that 20 pip stop loss and easily swallowed the $400 or so loss. His mistake was what I call “trading beyond the sleeping level.” If you find yourself worrying about a trade, you’re risking too much. Let me make sure you understand that…if you cannot sleep, go to dinner with your spouse, go golfing, or spend 6-8 hours doing whatever without thinking about your open trades, you’re risking too freaking much money! You MUST Trade down to the sleeping level. Your success as a trader depends on this. There will be future articles on the mental game of trading. I just told you the secret of the mental game though.
Here are my money management rules. I’ve modified them a bit from earlier versions so take a look even if you have already read my money management system:
1. When you begin trading, risk only 1% of your base capital. 2. Reduce your equity by the amount of the financial risk for any open trades. 3. After 3 consecutive winners, increase your risk to 2.5% of your base capital. 4. After 1 loss, reduce risk to 2% of base capital. 5. After two consecutive losses, reduce risk to 1.5% of base capital. 6. After four consecutive losses, reduce risk to .5% of your base capital. 7. After two consecutive wins, we reset back to 1% risk per capital and move back to step one. 8. Between 1 June and 1 September, and between 15 November and 15 January, I risk no more than 1%.
My method isn’t the ONLY way to manage your forex trading. It’s certainly not the most profitable. It works for me. In fact, I use a different money management system on my income account than I do with my growth account. This system has proven to build my equity consistently. Even if you choose to trade a set percentage, which is absolutley valid, be consistent in your money management. Trading this way will help you profit, relax, and sleep like a baby even with open positions.

But the internet is the great leveller, so now instead of paying greatly overpriced comissions and having to rely on the advice of a broker, or should I say salesman(don't get me started on this topic) to give us biased advice so we can help to put more money towards the brokers goals.
