The Perfect Storm

Friday 24 March 2006

Forex is too risky! You are going to loose all of your money!

I hear gallery now. Don’t listen to the neigh Sayers, listen to your inner voice! I am often asked why I chose to trade the currencies. I have been a student of the economy and money for several years now. I am not an alarmist, but the tides of change are not far from us. I chose to trade forex as a tool to ensure my families financial well being during these times of change. Take charge! That is really all I am doing is taking charge.

The perfect economic storm is forming and I just want to have the shelter to ride out the storm. Will that storm ever arrive and with the ferocity the economist are predicting? You can never be sure, but I definitely have my opinions!

Let’s take a look at some facts. According to the Census Bureau less than 2% of Americans earn more than $100,000 per year. 87% of American will retire broke! By the age of 65 45% of Americans will be dependent upon family and friends 28% of Americans will be dependent upon government welfare 22% of Americans will still be working 4% of Americans will have enough savings to meet their needs 1% of American will be financially independent In other words, only 5% of the population will be able to retire at the age of 65 and still be independent. All this as our national debt continues to grow and more and more responsibility gets deferred to our future generations.

The “real” perfect storm occurred when 3 independent weather systems merged to form the perfect meteorological storm during the 1990s. The economic equivalent is beginning to take shape. The patterns are forming now. Pension plans are being phased out and employees are required to take on more and more the responsibility of their financial planning. Schools have not adapted their curriculum to include investor education.

For 10 straight years my medical contributions have risen. The largest generation in U.S. history will begin retiring in 2 years drawing a massive amount of liquidity from the financial markets and Generation X does not have the size to act as a counterbalance. And the final ingredient is the world economic balance is changing with the emergence of China as an economic powerhouse.

And to my Canadian friends, your export economy is tied to the U.S. by a factor of 85%!

I am investing now, not so much in a 401k or an IRA, but in my financial education, one that can profit in an ever changing global economy.

I have cash flow vehicles and wealth building vehicles. Forex is my dominant cash flow vehicle. I am also educating myself in the real estate market; internet marketing and I trade options as well. Like all storms this one will pass.

Looking forward to my “golden years” and being a later “Boomer” I want to increase my odds and have chosen education as the base for my defense! For more forex edcuational information please vist FX Trade Central and for your FREE forex education demo visit my other site at FX Trainer.

Trading the News

Wednesday 22 March 2006

I just don’t do it! I am a technical forex trader, but I do incorporate fundamentals into my trading strategy. Whether I take a contrarian view point or use the fundamentals as a catalyst to impending technical developments I am always aware on how news events affect the forex market.

In my trade journal (if you are not keeping a record of your trade and the events surrounding your trades you are just plan wrong!) I note the upcoming events and plan for actions around any scheduled news release. If I don’t want to play I will close my position and wait for 30 minutes and trade the trend. I will treat the price before the news as support or resistance and wait for the overriding trend to continue.

Unexpected news often spikes the market, but beware of unsustainable news as it is unlikely top change the long term trend. I never enter a trade without a stop-loss period!

Like I said, the fundamentals are the catalyst but technicals are the roadmap! You can find more forex strategies at FX Trade Central.

My 5 Golden Forex Trading Rules

0 comments
As a trader in the forex market, I have come to understand the truth about trading and it mostly has to do with myself and my personality. Taking the time to learn the FX market and developing an awareness of yourself as a trader will aid you tremendously on your very own forex journey. To aid you along the way, I have developed my 5 golden forex trading rules.


1. Having an understanding the currency pairs, including which pairs has the most liquidity and volatility in order to decide when and when not to trade them. I want to know the pairs as well as my brother and that is why I trade just a few pairs.

2. Employing technical analysis to determine past price action to set future targets. I was raised a technician and will let technical analysis be my primary mechanism for trade management.

3. Understanding the market’s psychology and my own, and then incorporating this information as part of my forex trading strategy. Understanding the drivers of the market and my own nuances allows me to sleep in when I am too tired to trade the London session and plan my trading activity, including my daily forex education session, at the times of the day when my mental focus is at its sharpest.

4. Awareness of the fundamentals that will cause a currency pair price action. Knowing current events and anticipated news allows me to trade when the market conditions fit my trading style. This is one of the things I absolutely love about the forex market … you never have to wait long for an opportunity!

5. Risk management and trade execution to ensure my trades can achieve the maximum profit. I don’t want to be greedy and I don’t like to leave money on the table either. I will be trying to master this skill for the rest of my life!

Getting your forex education, practicing in a demo account, becoming aware of your own psychology and being persistent will allow you to succeed in the forex market as well.
