The Forex (Foreign Currency Exchange) market is the market's largest and most liquid financial world. The forex market, unlike the stock market is an on-the-counter market with no exchange of central clearing house where orders are matched.

Traditionally, forex trading is not popular with traders / investors (traders take short positions as investors), because the foreign exchange market was only open hedge funds and was not available for retailers like us.Only in recent years that currency trading is to open retailers. By comparison, trading of securities is far more to investors for the retail trade. Recent advances in computer technology and trading technologies has enabled access to low fees and easy access to the Internet retailers have commercial or exchange foreign currency almost anywhere in the world. Easy access and low Commission has greatly increased the odds for the retailers, both in actionsand Forex. Which is a better choice for a retailer? A comparison of retail equity trading and retail Forex trading are as follows;

Type of instrument
The nature of the products are bought and sold between Forex trading and shares are different. In stock trading a trader to buy or sell a stock is a company in a particular country. There are many different stock markets around the world. Many factors determine the increase or decrease in a stockPrice. See my article in the Exchange section for more information on factors that influence stock prices. Forex Trading is buying or selling currency pairs. In a transaction, a trader buys a currency from a country, and sold the currency of another country. Hence the term "exchange". The entrepreneur hopes that the value of money that will buy, compared to the value of the coin, which sold to rise.

While there are thousands of different markets, shares in the stock market there are few currency pairs in the Forex market. Thus, Forex Trading less vulnerable to price manipulation by large traders who> Share trading. Huge market size also means that the currency pairs to enjoy greater liquidity than shares. A Forex trader can enter and exit the market easily. Shares relatively less liquid can be a problem to find the dealer market, especially for larger bad news. What is worse, especially for small-cap stocks. Furthermore, because of its enormous liquidity of the Forex market, Forex traders can get better prices than stock traders.
Trading Hours & his disadvantagefor the retailer Stock

This means that Forex traders have the choice of hours, while traders stock trading are all limited to 930am at 16:00 EST EST. One major disadvantage is the stock of retail merchants that stock markets opened only at 08.30 as market makers during the pre-market hours (Clock – Clock 09:20 ET) and after-market hours (from 16.30 bis 18.30 clock EST). It is in thesePre-market and after-market hours, prices, many companies release the result that the results would be of great impact on storage. This means that retailers (many of us could see) only the price rises or falls in these hours. Also, do not stop to be honored at this time. Forex traders who do not suffer significant disadvantage. Even stock traders can be a complement or his trade in Forex trading outside the stock tradingHours.
Affordability
In order to trade stocks, a trader needs a very significant capital in his account at least tens of thousands are in general. However, a forex trader to start trading with an account of a few hundred dollars. This is because the Forex market allows for greater leverage. Forex market traders could get a settlement larger than for the stock. Some Forex brokers offer 100:1, 200:1 and 400:1. A leverage of 100:1 means that a U.S. $ 1k 100 times were able to obtain account transaction value from $ 100k. There is no interest on leveraged money. Stock trading generally accepted no more than 2 times leverage in margin trading. There are interest charges on margin trading are linked.
Transparency of data analysis and overload
There are thousands of different people from different sectors. Trader many research needs in stocks and brings out the best few exchanges. There are many factors that influence> Share prices. There are several factors that can influence stock prices as the exchange of foreign currency. Forex traders can therefore focus on a few currency pairs to trade. Moreover, most of the data or messages, the exchange rate officially announced, designed and transparently. Retail Forex traders have a better chance of success than the retailer.
Bear / Bull stock market conditions
Forex traders can tradeWay both to buy and sell currency pairs, without any restrictions. However, traders are more constraints to trade and profit in a bear market situation. There are other limitations and costs associated with selling stock short term. In a bull market when the economy is good, traders who buy a high probability, if the profitability for the first time and then sell them later. Savvy forex traders, however, may operate in any market condition.

We learnt the following the hard way! If any of these things applies to you, don’t worry ? there is an easy solution!

MISTAKE ONE

Lack of Knowledge and No Plan

It amazes us that some people expect to trade the stock market successfully without any effort. Yet if they want to take up golf, for example, they will happily take some lessons or at least read a book before heading out onto the course.

The stock market is not the place for the ill informed. But learning what you need is straightforward ? you just need someone to show you the way.

The opposite extreme of this is those traders who spend their life looking for the Holy Grail of trading! Been there, done that!

The truth is, there is no Holy Grail. But the good news is that you don’t need it. Our trading system is highly successful, easy to learn and low risk.

MISTAKE TWO

Unrealistic Expectations

Many novice traders expect to make a gazillion dollars by next Thursday. Or they start to write out their resignation letter before they have even placed their first trade!

Now, don’t get us wrong. The stock market can be a great way to replace your current income and for creating wealth but it does require time. Not a lot, but some.

So don’t tell your boss where to put his job, just yet!

Other beginners think that trading can be 100% accurate all the time. Of course this is unrealistic. But the best thing is that with our methods you only need to get 50-60% of your trades right to be successful and highly profitable.

MISTAKE THREE

Listening to Others

When traders first start out they often feel like they know nothing and that everyone else has the answers. So they listen to all the news reports and so called experts and get totally confused.

And they take tips from their buddy, who got it from some cab driver?

We will show you how you can get to know everything you need to know and so never have to listen to anyone else, ever again!

MISTAKE FOUR

Getting in the Way

By this we mean letting your ego or your emotions get in the way of doing what you know you need to do.

When you first start to trade it is very difficult to control your emotions. Fear and greed can be overwhelming. Lack of discipline; lack of patience and over confidence are just some of the other problems that we all face.

It is critical you understand how to control this side of trading. There is also one other key that almost no one seems to talk about. But more on this another time!

MISTAKE FIVE

Poor Money Management

It never ceases to amaze us how many traders don’t understand the critical nature of money management and the related area of risk management.

This is a critical aspect of trading. If you don’t get this right you not only won’t be successful, you won’t survive!

Fortunately, it is not complex to address and the simple steps we can show you will ensure that you don’t blow up and that you get to keep your profits.

MISTAKE SIX

Only Trading Market in One Direction

Most new traders only learn how to trade a rising market. And very few traders know really good strategies for trading in a falling market.

If you don’t learn to trade both sides of the market, you are drastically limiting the number of trades you can take. And this limits the amount of money you can make.

We can show you a simple strategy that allows you to profit when stocks fall.

MISTAKE SEVEN

Overtrading

Most traders new to trading feel they have to be in the market all the time to make any real money. And they see trading opportunities when they’re not even there (we?ve been there too).

We can show you simple techniques that ensure you only pull the trigger when you should. And how trading less can actually make you more!
