Online FOREX Trading - Become a Successful Forex Trader in Two Weeks! by sacha tarkovsky

Online FOREX Trading - Become a Successful Forex Trader in Two Weeks! by sacha tarkovsky One of the most inspiring stories I ever read, was how legendary trader Richard Dennis taught 14 people who had never traded before, to trade successfully in just two weeks.The result?They traded and went on to make millions and become some of the most famous traders of all time.So how was it done and can you do the same? Let\'s find out.Richard Dennis taught them three major points:1. A simple method they could have confidence in.2. Money management. 3. Applying the method with discipline.His advice was very specific with no filler.So, let\'s look at what you need to learn.1. MethodYou need a method you have confidence in and it needs to be simple.There is no correlation between how complicated a method is and how much money it makes.In fact, the reverse is true.A complicated method has more components to break and is less robust in the face of brutal market conditions.Look up "technical analysis" on the net and learn specifically how and why it works and also the theory of "trading breakouts"You should be using a long term trend following methodology looking for the big trends that produce the big profits and breakout trading is ideal for this.If you want to win at online forex trading, you need to know about breakouts.Base your methodology on it - It\'s simple and it works.Now you need to time entries.Look at some indicators that are based on momentum and look up "stochastics" this is simply the best momentum indicator you can use.2. Money ManagementIf you start with a "breakout method" and base your trading method on it, then stop placement is obvious.If you only trade significant breaks your odds of success will be high.3. DisciplineIs perhaps the hardest part of trading online forex.You need to apply your method with rigid discipline otherwise you have no method at all.Discipline is all about experience and even seasoned traders find it hard to keep executing a method when a string of losses occur.However, you are part of the way there to having discipline, if you have devised your own method.You know its logic and should be able to stay with it as you will have confidence in it to work.All the material you need to get up and running is free and on the internet, but it\'s worth reading a few books.These are my favorites and will they inspire you.1. Market Wizards and The New Market Wizards ( edit )By Jack Shwager.These are interviews with some of the top traders of all time including:Richard Dennis and the turtles and many more - Packed with insight and very inspiring.2. Trader VicBy Victor Sperandeo.A true trading legend, who shares with us his thoughts on trading, money management and trading psychology, a fantastic all round book.By all means read a few more, but these three are my favorites from over 500 I have read.Trading is Simple, yet people try and complicate it.They think the more effort they put in the more they will get out - This is totally false.Work smart not hard!If you want to make money you need to work smart not hard and if you want a perfect example of this look at the turtles!In just two weeks they all became great traders.Maybe, you wont make as much money as them, but if you learn and do the above, you will have the basic platform to make big profits in online forex trading.Finally, you will have done it all on your own and will have given yourself success, how satisfying is that?

EVOLUTION OF A TRADER

EVOLUTION OF A TRADER Every Trader goes through the following stages of evolution:1) Basic market reading - is the market going up or down? Note, that at this stage, very few people think of the third possibility.....that the market could be going sideways2) Setting targets for the envisaged move - During this stage the person is happy if the market moves in the envisaged direction and even if the market comes just close to the target but misses it3) Getting to know all the scores and scores of Technical Indicators and tools, thinking that knowing the tools is the secret of successful trading.During this period, the person is focussed on "being right", the mentality is "me against the market", or even, "my forecast is better than yours". The person trades during this period, experiencing both profits and losses, but consistent profits elude her. She is happy every time there is a profit, no matter if it be small and tends to forget about the lossesSlowly, the Trader moves onto the next plane of evolution, wherein:1) She starts to think about various possible scenarios....and starts to think in terms of "If-Then-Else"2) She starts to think in terms of Probability....what are the chances of the IF or the THEN or the ELSE happening3) Starts to think in terms of Risk-RewardHaving mastered this higher plane, the Trader can then move on to the next plane1) Thinking in terms of strategy2) Managing multiple positionsAll of this takes time, TWO years at the minimum. During this period, one should trade as small as one can, alternating one month of Real trades with one month of Paper trades and so on.Learning to trade FX is not the same as learning to ride a bicycle or learning how to swim.

Employment Situation Data in U.S.

Some important macroeconomic data was released in U.S. today - employment situation in June from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. As it was expected by the financial analysts, the overall unemployment rate in June remained on 4.5% level - which is quite low and is a good indicator for the U.S. economy. Non-farm payrolls in June reached 132,000 which is 7,00 higher than the experts' estimations. May non-farm payrolls were also revised towards the better side - 190,000 from 157,000. Average hourly earnings came out at 0.3% level (as expected), but May data was revised from 0.3% to 0.4%. Overall, this is a good news for the U.S. economics and dollar as well. The Forex market isn't playing this data yet (or it won't) - EUR/USD returned to its 1.3600-1.3650 range, and no serious movement can be seen
