So, you finally decided to trade the currency market and you own open an account with a broker, but where you can start? If you do not know yet the currency market is still far deregulated although new guidelines established by the National Futures Association in the United States, with respect to the capitalization finally came into force on December 21, 2007. They are an attempt to force brokers to insufficient funds and an offer better protection to traders. However, here is my own list of questions to ask before leaving with the money.

The most important questions are: what is the net capital, which is the brokerage founded and which are of the regulations. The quickest way to find answers to these questions is to ask directly brokers! The NFA are the requirements that brokers should have a minimum of $ 5 million US dollars more than either for their clients money as a safety net. To my knowledge, there are only 14 companies that currently meet these criteria. In no unclear what will happen to brokers who are not do not comply with these guidelines, but already 4 companies have already been closed.
Do the location of the broker is also very important because if they are at sea, they may not be regulated at all. In the United States, your broker must for both NFA and CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission) recorded in the UK, they should be at the FSA. Other countries have various regulatory bodies to check if you like - it’s your hard-earned money.

Once you are satisfied with the financial probity broker the next question is what the commercial style, not only just broker. For example, what is the attitude with respect to broker “scalp”? I talked recently to a broker leading to an exhibition where I was told that everything was permitted scalp, sniping was neither! When I have asked them to explain the difference that there were many Brewing feet and avoid eye contact! Other dealers not allow no long-term exchange or insist on a number of transactions are minimal please read the fine print.

It is also important to create the broker of the policy and on the spreads, if they are expanded when the market is volatile, particularly during news announcements. Take a look at some of the many forums that it is one of the most hotly debated subjects, and that gives you an indication of the better and the worst of the brokers with regard on this issue.

Finally, the broker not interests of the client on your deposit - it is your money in their account, and you may be that income are insured losses of interest on these funds, then why-they should keep for themselves. I know a broker who pays interest on a second by second.

Remember a little bit of research in early trading your career can save you money and a lot of pain and disappointment.

I have many new merchants during the search for at least 20 pips per day begin to lose in a major effort to address this plateau. The problem is that the market for changes in the environment to the point where there are many days in which the solid business opportunities just can not be found.

That is why the new merchants on a skill, they usually do not think we do not. If that trade is a loser, they now have to win this loss, and then another 20 points before the end of the day. You can see how it can turn a nightmare for some settings than dubious transactions ultimately losers in the same day.
I think that a better goal is to try to benefit all of the months. If you return with more than $ 1 in your account at the end of the month, from the beginning of the month, write a tape in the back, to be profitable. It is a series of monthly gains resulted, in large returns. But you have to negotiate, as a company rather than a system for quickly and keep your expectations realistic.

For almost all of the year 2007, many students in the classes were FX Power pullbacks sale in the EUR / USD for the sale of the Assemblies USD / CAD, and the fairly good, as they commerçaient With the trend. But the trade has become more difficult in recent times, as hardly be any initiative in the EUR / USD or move in the USD / CAD.

The difference is that they are even stronger in the last year and tendencies, not another look at the totality of couples on the assessment of current trends. We spoke with the first step in the search for a trade is the identification of trends and stronger than the trade in this direction. But the strongest trends a month is perhaps not the strongest trends in the next month.

Just because you have a little money by selling rallies USD / CAD all last spring, summer and autumn, does not mean that the trading pair for the winter. The first step is always to find the strong trend, the trade and the funds are very pointilleux every time you get in the tables every day. Read daily current EUR / USD and with the daily EUR / GBP. The tendency is stronger? It is the couple, the more you should be that the trade with trends offer the best opportunities for retailers.

In several cases, I hear new merchants who say that their goal is to establish a number of points each day. While it is important to the objectives of each company, all the benchmarks should focus on the improvement of the quality of your dealer, and not on what you expect from the market.

Since Forex Trading is a venture, there are many systems for the new dealer or gently without bankrupt. There is a mini-accounts, which you can invest that small amounts of money, and there are even automated accounts, a computer program is doing everything for you. And between those two extremes, the forex account, which you full access to the market, but gives you a consultant to help navigate.

An account managed Forex is for someone who has no experience or little experience in the foreign exchange markets. It’s also good for someone who wants to invest, but will not have all the studying and training necessary to a good job for themselves. In addition, a managed account, is a stroke of luck, if you want to invest, but simply do not have the time or the inclination of the market, the 24 hours per day.

The accounts always require a minimal investment of at least $ 10000, and some have at least as high as $ 250000. That makes many people reached, especially when you consider that you do not want to invest, you can afford to lose. It is for the business undertakings, the accounts managed, although increasingly wealthy individuals have used, which in the 21st Century.

The reason why the investment is lower that an account could not find someone to manage - a real human being, that is not a computer program. If the minimum investment was more useful to a lot of people want, managed accounts, and those responsible are not in a position to cope with their customers.

In general, a managed account, is the best for long-term investors. Someone wants the market exchange rate, too much money with aggressive, risky, then again, not benefiting from an account managed. Most managers for a conservative, the slow progress on the strategy for growth, generally suggest that investors continue with the program for two years, to show the actual benefit. (Most systems allow you to withdraw your money and quit if you wish, but to do so without penalties.)

It is the cost of the accounts managed, of course, which costs nothing. Typically, the tax on the basis of performance on the market, with the manager by a percentage of their net profits per quarter. This tax is worth to several people, though, as they have an account managed them the peace of mind about the place where their money is invested and what kind of return is their performance.
