Why Hedging FOREX is Superior to Directional Trading

Why Hedging FOREX is Superior to Directional Trading

Recently at a convention on FOREX Hedging there were people in the audience who had spent as much as 80,000 or more on trading courses. None of them had any success with trying to predict trends as directional traders. Most lost a lot of money in the process.

Apparently there are about 250,000 FOREX traders. I would guess that 98% of them are directional traders. Yes, 250,000 traders in a 3.2 Trillion/day market while there are 144 Million stock traders in a much smaller market place. The New York stock exchange is about 30 million a day and comes nowhere near the liquidity of the decentralized FOREX market.

So, why so few are hedging the FOREX market? I believe this is mostly because of a lack of a system that consistently works.

Most directional traders with any experience have thought of hedging the market but most come to the conclusion the hedge just cancels itself out over time. So, most just give up on it not knowing how to make it work. But, what if, instead of zeroing out all profits you could actually double your profits with the hedge?

Let's take the EURUSD and the CHFUSD pairs.

These pairs are historically negatively 93-98% of the time. That is when one pair goes up the other goes down, and vice versa, up to 98% of the time. Now, over time these would pretty much just cancel each other out and you would not be left with much of a profit and maybe would even see a slight loss if the hedge was not in your favor.

Now what if you could ALWAYS buy low when one pair went down and sell high when the other correlated pair went up? And when the market corrected do the same in the opposite direction over and over and over again?

This is how I 'trade' the market. Really it is more like 'investing' since I do not look at charts, do no analysis of markets, care very little about fundamentals as long as the hedge is sticking. I also only spend about 5-15 minutes a week resetting my buy and sell limits. The rest is done automatically.

Now, that is the ONE of the ways that I build my equity. The other is daily interest paid at special negotiated rates from some of the biggest brokers in the US and Switzerland. Not all brokers are alike in the rates that they pay even though they are based on the rates set by the respective central banks.

Because the system I use is so consistent and works so well the brokers are not only willing to bend over backwards to give us the best interest rates available they are also willing to give us 400:1 leveraging. Some brokers extend this 400:1 leveraging up to one million dollars. Note that no other system to my knowledge gets this kind of leverage on that kind of money. It is a first in FOREX retail history and there is a good reason why.

Now, at first blush you may think that 400:1 leveraging is increasing our risk. In directional trading it certainly would be putting you in grave danger of losing your capital all that much quicker.

But, in fact, when you hedge the market as we do 400:1 leverage actually DECREASES your risk. Hence, the brokers are quite happy to provide this kind of leverage for this style of trading because it actually reduces the risk of a margin call and it makes the brokers that much more money.

Now, why is 400:1 so important to hedging the market in the way we do it? Well, because of the daily interest!

Let's take an example and say you have $5000 in your trading account and a 10% margin set.

That means you have $500 allocated to the market. If the net interest we receive is 1.11% annually then this would not be a lot of money. We could do better at the bank! ...well maybe...

But, what happens when this $500 is leveraged at 400:1? All of a sudden this 1.11% interest becomes 44% per annum! Now, I am sure you would agree that this is a return worth looking at and that most money managers would sell their mothers for this kind of return!

But, this return does not include the buy low/sell high profits. Add these all together and you have a system that on fairly conservative margin can produce very handsome and consistent profits without risking your shirt and without needing to sit in front of a computer all day and night watching charts until you go cross-eyed.

There is one more way that equity can increase or decrease. That is via the market fluctuations in the hedge. Sometimes the hedge will work in your favor and sometimes it will go against you. When it is in your favor you can see windfall profits beyond the daily interest and buy and selling process. If it goes against you it will cause a pullback in your equity for a period of time.

Compounding is also possible. When your balance and equity increase significantly over time your margin is going down. That means it is getting more conservative and safer if you just let it grow. But, if you want to keep your margin at say 10% then you can reallocate your portfolio and buy more lots which bring more interest and more buy low/sell profits.

Now, if you think that daily interest at 400:1 and 100% winning transactions makes sense what would you think if we could smooth out the fluctuations that give us the big profits and big pullbacks, i.e. volatility?

Well, we could up our margin could we not? We could increase our margin without incurring much more risk and in fact may even be able to reduce it when we hedge the hedge. The net result means more interest, more profit, and less risk while freeing up our time to spend the money we are making instead of ignoring our family stuck to a chart on a screen.

Presently such an enhancement is in testing and may soon to be released to the public if tests are successful. If you want to keep updated on this new development be sure to subscribe to my update list.

By learning how to HEDGE the FOREX you not only increase your profit and reduce your risk. You can also get a life! That to me is the most attractive part of this whole system.

The great thing is it is not difficult to learn either. I personally coach people in the system I use and it usually takes a couple of hours and about 10 minutes a week to monitor before my students are on their own.

Small Investment For Years of Profit

Currency Trading Software - Small Investment For Years of Profit

Currency trading software is something that can change the way you trade forex forever. Also, if you have never traded before, it can do all the work for you; you don't even have to know anything about the market!

This software, also called an expert advisor by most traders, has revolutionized the currency trading industry and market. This market is huge with unbelievable potential for profits. Unlike most other ways to make money, with forex you can literally do nothing all day and make money; 24 hours a day.

I want to tell you a couple advantages to currency trading software.

The first major advantage is that it is a very small investment for years of potential profits. A good piece of software will cost you anywhere from $90-$300 or more. The one that I highly personally use, and is reviewed on my website is very reasonably priced and has thus become the most bought forex advisor on the web.

This small investment will be making trades for you 24 hours a day. Many people are hesitant to spend the money, but that makes no sense. You will make it back very quickly, all you have to do is buy and install.

The second major advantage is that currency trading software consistently outperforms the human traders. Humans are volatile to emotion and greed, computers are not. Computers have been beating humans at things for years, and forex trading is no exception to this.

Humans are prone to error, and computers are not. They operate under the most strict guidelines, no matter what.

These are just a couple of the many advantages to using currency trading software. Any serious trader should be using it, and most do.

Automatic Money With Forex Currency Trading?

Automatic Money With Forex Currency Trading?

Forex is short for "foreign exchange" -a market place, a big and volatile market place for exchanging foreign currency. This makes it different than the stock market or commodities where you're trading substances, either ownership in a company or a commodity to be delivered at a future date. Forex is 24 hours a day, global and accessible worldwide and deals more than three trillion dollars worth of trades every day.

In today's market with extreme volatility, it's still possible to make money with Forex, provided you have the right education and insight into how you can take profit from this environment. That education comes in many forms. The get rich quick infomercials are not the right education. The right education comes from experience in getting to know how you perceive the market and how you can use leverage, one of the most important tools at your disposal to effectively use that knowledge.

Leverage allows you to take a small initial investment of money and use it to control more money, if you had 100:1 leverage, $100 could control $10,000. This works both ways and you can suffer massive losses as well as massive gains. Using a practice account allows you to build up the experience to make sure that your real trading will be the massive gains rather than losses. If you're looking at this page, you're here to see how to make money online, not to lose money.

Success comes from having the right tools and knowledge, but also the right resources to keep your finger on the pulse of the market. With hundreds of currencies, no one person can keep track of all the fluctuations and trends. Computers can and are increasingly being used to help investors manage their accounts. But remember the most sophisticated piece of technology and more important resource is the trader himself.

Everyone sees the market in their own way and has their own preferences and bias, no computer can ever remove that. Educating yourself about your biases and tolerance for risk and how you work with the market trends and the technology you have is the most important thing to determining if you're going to be successful.

Mechanical systems are great starting points for making choices about Forex trades, but they're not the end all solution, it's still the human element that the individual trader brings to the table that allows the mechanical systems to provide nearly automatic wealth generation to their users, the more mechanical the system the more the biases that can be dangerous are damped out and taken over by the cool and calculating logic of the system.

These rules - and your own knowledge powered by your intelligence and enabled by software to see how closely the markets are following the rules set out allows you to take advantage of the opportunities provided in volatility. It's possible to make money in Forex no matter the situation of the economy. Nations rise and fall in relation to each other and when they do, Forex experiences change. This change can be captured and turned into profit.

Forex Margin Trading - Initial Tips!

Forex Margin Trading - Initial Tips!

Forex margin trading is simply a forex trading account which is 'leveraged'. This means effectively for every $1 you have as your deposit you have up to $100 to invest (this is the simplest definition for illustrative purposes only)

A typical account is set up in such a way that you would pay your forex broker a security deposit which ranges from 0.25% to 5%. The usual security deposit for a $100,000 lot (unit of currency) is usually 1% ($1,000).

This should be looked on as the minimum amount for a security deposit. If you have been used to day trading and have some experience behind you it is not uncommon to be 'up' or 'down' the amount of your deposit when the market is in turmoil. Quite often the 'swings' can wipe out the inexperienced traders account. However this is a zero sum business, one traders' loss is another's gain and if everyone lost all the time they would be very few participants in the market!

OK, how does all this work then?

It's always best by showing an example. Let's take a standard lot of $100,000 against CHF (that is USD against swiss francs). The current spot for buying swiss is 1.0269 this means that for selling $100,000 you get 100,000 x 1.0269 = 102,690 CHF. You would sell dollars if you expected the dollar to decrease in price over the period of time you would be holding the CHF. Assume that you have sold dollars through your broker at 10.45 a.m GMT and the price at 3.30 p.m. GMT is 1.0247 and you buy back the $100,000 you have a profit of CHF 220 ($225) less the spread cost usually 5 pips which would be about $50 so the net would be about $170.

What happens when the trade goes the wrong way?

Lets just say that you're thinking this is really cool and you top up your deposit by $1,000 - so it's now $2,170 and you do the same USD/CHF pair. It's the next day and the rate at 9.45 a.m GMT is 1.0250 and again you sell dollars on the back of bad employment figure news, expecting the dollar to go down and then the FED comes in and starts buying dollars and the dollar goes to 1.0370 by 4.30 p.m. GMT and you didn't square your position as you were hoping for a fall, you would more than likely find yourself in the following position as follows:

$2,170 - $1,000 (Cost of lot) = $1,170 (security deposit/margin)

1.0369- 1.0250 = 0.0119 x 100,000 = $1,190

Your broker is likely to 'cut' your position so that your account does not go into negative - this effectively means that you have lost your $2,170.

The tragedy in a situation like this is if the 'Asian' market came in and sold off the dollar continuing the previous trend you would be out of the market and out of pocket!

This a perfect example of two things which you should adhere to -

Firstly never trade with too low a deposit just in case the above scenario happens and secondly if a position goes against you -it's best to set your own stop loss rather than a broker cut your position.

My Forex Trading Methods

My Forex Trading Methods

I'm going to show you some of my forex trading methods that I've been using for a while now to enable myself to be able to make more money in this market. This business over three trillion dollars a day moving around and we all have a chance to see some of that money come to us. You have to be willing to learn how to do this right and have the determination to suffer through the inevitable learning curve that brings losses. If you're willing to do that, you'll appreciate my advice that much more.

How To Properly Cut Your Losses

This seems like an easy task for me, but I guess I've been doing it for a while now. A lot of people get emotionally invested in a trade and have the hardest time letting go . You have to understand that your ego isn't in a trade and cutting your losses is just business.

The trick doing this is to take the emotion out of it. Before I even make a trade, I decide on a stop loss point. This is a point I decide I will sell the currency if it goes down so far. It's just an objective way of doing it before you emotionally invest yourself in the trade. This will protect from those bad trades that just seem to suck out money from your good trades. This is the precise skill that separates the rich traders from the poor and if you can do it, you'll be that much better off.

Guide To Profitable Forex Trading

Guide To Profitable Forex Trading

I wanted to present this guide to profitable forex trading because I know there are a lot of new traders out there that are noticing their savings account going down. It takes a certain caliber of behavior to be a good forex trader and I hope to share that with you.

The first skill you're going to have to develop is that of controlling your emotions. Emotional thinking is really the enemy in this business. You don't have to worry about competitors; you have to worry about yourself getting emotional and making trades in that mindset. If you find yourself getting "upset" or "worked up", than you need to learn to control these emotions. If you experience them, the best thing you can do is walk away until you clear your head, so you can get back to making logical trading choices.

The next thing you need to develop is the ability to let go of a bad trade. This really has to do with being able to cut your losses. Bad trades happen all the time to everyone. They really aren't that bad if you can contain them before they get bad. The best thing you can do is set a stop loss point before you make the trade. That is deciding before hand if the currency drops to this point, I will exit the trade.

Lastly, you'll want to avoid the problem of overconfidence. Often after you make some good trades that your head will get inflated and you think you are really good. What will happen is you'll view things as very bullish and when prices don't reflect that, you end up losing out. Try to be humble with your profitable trades and continue on the path of learning.

This was my guide to profitable forex trading. I hope you enjoyed it and use these tips to your advantage.
