Is Forex for Me?

By Thomas H. Rivera

Millions of investors are making (and sometimes losing) money in the forex markets around the world. It's a huge opportunity and creates a steady job you can do from the comfort of your own home. We're going to cover the ups and downs of forex trading and how to make it work for you - and give some guidance on whether or not it's the right job for you.

In a nutshell, forex trading is about taking a pair of currencies and their exchange rate; and playing off how that exchange rate varies on a day by day (or month to month) basis. You're not betting on the performance of a company, you're betting on the fiscal reputations of countries. There's less research involved, and you have the advantage that it's very difficult for currency values to plummet as rapidly as stocks can and do (and have, recently).

That said, the opportunities in forex don't allow quite as much growth potential as a stock program can, and forex trading is more vulnerable to inflation and currency devaluation moves by governments. Unlike a stockholder, you don't get a vote (or proxy vote) in the operations of the nation whose currency you buy. Forex trading is a 24 hour a day opportunity to make trades, with a span running from the London open to the Hong Kong close, meaning it spans more than five working days if you let it.

While there is a potential to make a lot of money in forex trading, that potential is only seemingly boundless. You're still going to be constrained by the usual trading range in basis point pips between a currency pair, and if you spot a trend, it's odds on that others have as well; like any kind of volatility based trading, you're always running on five minute old information. You can make (or lose) thousands of dollars in a handful of minutes.

If manual trading isn't your thing, you can even set up several expert advisors to make your trades for you. In this way, you can make steady gains with your account over a long period of time. This strategy doesn't even require you to know much about the forex market. You can just set them up and forget them.

If you've been looking for an opportunity to make a lot of money from the comfort of home, then this could be your ticket. Daytrading on the stock market is nothing compared to this. This is the next big goldrush if you position yourself for success in the industry. Think about being able to work your schedule, on your terms, without anyone breathing over your shoulder.

Day trading on forex trades your time for watching numbers on a screen and plotting graphs. It pays handsomely if you're patient and follow the basics. And yes, it's possible to make more than doctors and lawyers who went to college for eight years. It's also possible to have an overleveraged put call wipe out two months of earnings in 15 seconds. We recommend focusing on conservative, safe strategies until you get a solid understanding of what's going on.

If you're the sort of person who lives for being wired on coffee, staying inside for a-- hour trading day, and staring at a computer screen, forex trading may be for you - even if only temporarily. The real secret of forex day traders is that the successful ones get out of it and retire, and retire early. - 23208
