Please recommend the best forex trading trainers in the UK and the USA to me.

Answer
It depends on what technique you are leaning towards in your Forex experience.

If you are into technical trading and working with charts I would highly recommend Wayne McDonell at FXBootcamp.com.

If you are more of a "gambler" and an "adrenalin junky" and want the stress of trading the news (or Fundamental investing). I would recommend Rob Grespi at kingforexsignals.com

If you are just starting out and want to get an awesome education I would recommend a free solution at babypips.com.

If you simply want to make a nice, consistent return utilizing the power of the Forex market as a part of a long term investment strategy I would suggest that you send me an email.

May all your guesses be good ones.

That's the joy of forex trading. There is no central market for currencies. Any news, any time, anywhere in the world that involves international trade, international investments, relative interest rates, or political stability will have an effect on forex rates. The most liquid markets for any currency occur during normal banking hours in major banking centers that use the currency as local money. That means for the EUR 0800 to 1600 Frankfurt time and for the USD 0800 to 1600 New York time. I personally like 0800-1000 New York time because there is still activity in Europe.

The most important news about forex is never "released". If the Bank of China is adjusting its foreign currency reserves and moving many billions for EUR to USD or AUD or the other way around, the last thing they want is for anybody to know that they're doing it. That's why technical analysis is king in forex: they can't hide the activity on the charts.

Q. I opened a mock forex account and the broker calls me all the time trying to force me to put money in my account. How desperate are these guys for accounts?

Answer
Online forex brokers are required to maintain a certain amount of capital or they will be shut down.

IMO, online firms that are aggressive in getting people to trade with them are either undercapitalized and wants to generate more business, or they have just hired a bunch of salesmen to generate more business.

If i were in your shoes, I'd move my demo account to a different online broker. Pick out the top 5. These brokers will let you trade a demo account with the least solicitation. Maybe an email every now and then.

I trade with OANDA.com. They have a demo account that you can trade without limit. Although I get email from them once a month for the demo account, this is more to update me on latest developments, than to get me to open a live account with them.

Hope this helps.

Answer
Playing Forex can appear alluring, but the majority of people who try it lose money. All you have to do is do a web search on the words "Forex" and "lose" to see this is the consensus.

Forex is similar to what we call a "zero sum" game. You are making a bet with someone else about whether a currency will rise or fall. For every winner there has to be a loser. The net winnings of everyone combined equals zero. If you are smarter than the average player, you may make money. If you are dumber than the average player, you are likely to lose money. Most of the people making the "bets" in Forex are highly trained professionals at banks and other institutions. You are unlikely to beat them at this game.

Actually Forex is not quite a zero sum game. It's a slightly negative sum game as the Forex broker takes a small percentage each time in the spread. It's a small amount but over a hundred trades, it ends up being a considerable amount of money. So the average player is likely to lose money, and remember the average player is a highly trained professional and probably smarter than you.

There is a lot of luck in Forex, and if you play it, you will have some periods of time where you make money. This is usually because you are having a lucky streak, not because you have suddenly become an expert Forex player. However, most people are unwilling to admit their success is due to luck. They become convinced they have a system that works, and lose a lot of money trying to refine it.

Further complicating the problem is the large number of Forex scams on the internet. Most Forex websites are of questionable honesty. You will find many people on the Internet that claim they made a lot of money using Forex. They are usually liars trying to make money. They will say: "Go to Forexcrap,com/q2347." The "q2347" is a signal to the Forexcrap site that you are being referred to them by "q2347." If they sell something to you, "q2347" gets a kickback. These coded signals can be hidden by different methods in the link. Other people will refer you to their own private website or blog for the purpose of trying to get money off you. Also there are a good number of trolls out there that like to pretend they are successful forex traders just for the fun of it.

I would recommend not trying to do Forex at all, unless you are a trained professional. It's like playing poker with people better than you, with the house constantly taking a small percentage from the pot.

What is the meaning of the 4 majors (EU,GU,UC,UJ) and 3 minors ( UCAD,AU,NU) currencies in the FX market?

I was reading about the FX market, and I can't figure out what they mean when they say there are 4 major (EU,GU,UC,UJ) and 3 minor ( UCAD,AU,NU) currencies. What do the symbols mean?

Answer
FOREX â Foreign Currency Exchange

1.EUR/USD - Euro/U.S. Dollar
2.GBP/USD - Great British Pound/U.S. Dollar
3.USD/CHF â- U.S. Dollar/Swiss Franc
4.USD/JPY â- U.S. Dollar/Japanese Yen
5.USD/CAD â- U.S. Dollar/Canadian Dollar
6.AUD/USD - Australian Dollar/U.S. Dollar
7.EUR/GBP - Euro/Great British Pound
8.EUR/JPY - Euro/Japanese Yen
9.EUR/CHF - Euro/Swiss Franc
10.GBP/CHF - Great British Pound/Swiss Franc
11.GBP/JPY - Great British Pound/Japanese Yen
12.CHF/JPY - Swiss Franc/Japanese Yen
13.NZD/USD - New Zealand Dollar/US Dollar
14.EUR/CAD - Euro/Canadian Dollar
15.AUD/CAD - Australian Dollar/Canadian Dollar
16.AUD/JPY - Australian Dollar/Japanese Yen
17.EUR/AUD - Euro/Australian Dollar

NOTE: Of the above 17 currency pairs, six of them are deemed the âmajor currency pairsâ in the FOREX market because they account for about 80 percent of FOREX transactions:

1.EUR/USD - Euro/U.S. Dollar
2.GBP/USD - Great British Pound/U.S. Dollar
3.USD/CHF â- U.S. Dollar/Swiss Franc
4.USD/JPY â- U.S. Dollar/Japanese Yen
5.USD/CAD â- U.S. Dollar/Canadian Dollar
6.AUD/USD - Australian Dollar/U.S. Dollar

As you can see, there is a currency on the left and one on the right. The one on the left is referred to as the base, and the one listed on the right is known as the cross. The format, once again, is as follows. BASE/CROSS, or EUR/USD. The EUR is the BASE and the USD is the CROSS.

TERMINOLOGY:
â¢PIPS- Price Interest Point. This is the smallest unit price for any Foreign Currency.
â¢LOT- A lot of currency is one denomination for a trade (100K or mini account). This is similar to purchasing one stock or one contract in the futures market.
â¢LONG to buy
â¢SHORT to sell
â¢BID-The price at which you sell
â¢ASK-The price at which you buy

Price Interest Point - (PIP)
Profits are made in the FOREX by gaining PIPS. A pip is the last digit from the decimal point. This value is 1/100th of a cent. You may now be asking yourself, how do I make money off of 1/100th of a cent? The answer is leverage. The FOREX market is highly leveraged and should be respected. That said, it can also provide for a tremendous return on your investment. The average leverage in the FOREX is 100 to 1. Basically this indicates that for every dollar you invest in a trade you are controlling $100 of value.

Calculated PIP
Calculated PIP â shows the Price Interest Point (PIP) value for the selected currency pair based upon your trading account margin. For example, a standard 1 percent margin trading account controlling $100,000 in currency would show the EUR/USD with a PIP value of 10.

PIP VALUE-Fixed or Floating
FIXED- When the USD is the cross currency (right side of the pair), the PIP value is fixed at $10 in a 100k account.

FOATING- When the USD is the base currency (left side of the pair), the PIP value is based upon the exchange rate of the cross currency (i.e., USD/CAD.). Also, the PIP value is floating when the pair consists of foreign currencies (i.e., EUR/ GBP).

LOT
A lot is the normal unit of trading in the FOREX market. Trades are made in lot increments, similar to share increments in the stock market.

Standard (or 100k) FOREX account- has a 100:1 leverage ratio
1 LOT= $1,000 investment= ratio leveraged 100 to 1, which = $100,000 in buying power.

Mini FOREX account- has a 200:1 leverage ratio
1 LOT= $50 investment= ratio leveraged 200 to 1, which = $10,000 in buying power.

TRADING HOURS (EST)
â¢Trades 24 hours a day, 6 days a week. The market is open from Sunday at 5pm EST to Friday at 4pm EST.

Answer
It's a bit bare, but clean. The information is easily accessible.

Here are some things I ran into:

- The link to the homepage on your 404 error page is broken. It points to 'http://www.howtotradeforeigncurrency.com/howtotradeforeigncurrency.com'

- There seems to be quite a bit of unused whitespace in the source code. That really serves no purpose other than to increase the size of the file that needs to be downloaded by someone viewing the site. Perhaps you could clean that up a bit to scrape some kilobytes off.

- There seems to be some issues with the CSS style on http://www.howtotradeforeigncurrency.com/what-is-foreign-exchange-market.php. The menu on the left overlaps the page footer (blue bar) which looks a bit messy.

The site won't win any beauty contests, but as I stated earlier, the relevant information is easily readable and properly accessible. And that's really what this site is about.
