The market rally that started on December 1st, took a break today. While most closes of our four stock index ETFs that we track were only slightly down, the exception was the IWM which was up. Nevertheless, todays trend bias analysis is still unanimous across our four tracking ETFs: The DIA; the SPY; the QQQQ; and the IWM.
Now, such a leverage is often expressed in percentages or ratios. For example, a 50:1 ratio means that 2% of the total asset/investment value is your marginal accounts balance, which is your money. The remaining $49 is of course, the loan by your broker. That is to purchase $50 worth of foreign currency you need to put in, at least, $1 following which the lender loans you $49. Sometimes this sounds almost unreal however, the very small rises in the PIP and BP lead to profits, which are quite significant, and hence, the large loan by the broker. Either ways, the broker is always at advantage even if you lose money. One needs to remember that a leverage is a loan and a fee and interest is charged upon it through your marginal account.
Before enrolling in a school of forex trading that meets your needs and requirements, contrary to what the school offers were evaluated. Make sure they have a good understanding of the basis of forex trading as well. Check whether you then the skills necessary to become profitable. You must be able to give you the knowledge to speak to management and customers. If you are not able to guarantee this, you have a difficult time for a successful currency trader. Since the market is there waiting for you to be successful, you want to make sure to be able to be made a success.
currency trading is done on the FOREX, which is the foreign exchange market. Currency trading promotes international trading and allows investors to trade in different world currencies. With this type of exchange, one country can trade in the currency of another. An American business can operate in American green backs but buy or sell in the Euro dollar with their European customers. The Foreign exchange market is currently the largest asset market and was established in the 1990's. There are many advantages for currency trading. It is very liquid and trading volumes are high. It is a trading system that is not limited to one country or location.
One very good thing about trading forex online is that there are very minimal costs that a party has to undertake. Because there are no middlemen involved and one can easily do direct trades with the market responsible for the pricing of currencies, this means that there are no more commissions that you have to pay.
Anyway, that's where the Forex Ambush became a concern - when reading their website and seeing what it does. What its "software" does is give you "trading signals" - recommendations of what to buy and when. You have to do the trade manually. Which means of course you have to sit at the computer and be ready just in case it does make a recommendation. Remember, sometimes it can be days with no buy signals at all.
Have a successful trading day on Tuesday. Watch the comment area below, in case I report on futures in the morning. Also, for disclosure reasons, I have no open positions in any of the four ETFs at this time.
