Take this six question test. Do you have the desire to make a million dollars or more? Yes or No Do you have at least two hours per day to devote to this desire? Yes or No Are you one who can take directions from a book? Yes or No Do you have the minimum risk capital today of $5k to $10k and if not are you willing to save to attain it? Yes or No Do you have enough sense to get the correct trading education before you start trading? Yes or No Do you write your financial goals down for your future? Yes or No

We are done with this test. There are six questions above; if you answered No to any of the above you really do not have enough desire to become a millionaire simply because you have no will power in your life.

Sorry, but it was you who answered the questions and I am giving you my thoughts.

On the other hand, if you answered YES to all the above, keep reading as the good news is there is hope for you as a millionaire! How?

First as an investor, stock trader, commodity trader, million dollar trader you must find the right trading education.

2nd: Once you find it, learn it well and then apply it into real life. Below are some serious hints to get you started on this million dollar wealth journey?

Keep your losses small or low and keep your winnings higher on average with 50% or better profits and on certain rare occasions take in upwards of 1,000% or more with Super Trade profits.

These Super Trades are very rare, but on certain occasions, do exist as you will soon see several times per year.

Then compound your winnings at least on a monthly basis for rapid growth. In case you are wondering what a Super Trade is, it is any trade that has the potential to produce for you a million dollars in profits within a 90 day period.

During my more than 20 years of trading, I have spotted several trades that have that ability. In fact, there are some trades out there right now that can generate that kind of action with adequate risk capital at stake once you learn how.

Did you know that you can actually have ten losing trades with small losses then have one or two big winners and come out smelling like a rose with very serious profits? That is trading sometimes.

You will find that some months it seems you can do no wrong and other months, nothing you will do seems to work into your favor.

It happens! When that nothing you do is right happens, take a two week vacation because you are simply not focused properly with your trading enough to win or your not doing the adequate research that is required to make you win at trading. After a vacation, start back up fresh.

You also need to learn the correct secrets of the trading world to amass millions quickly. Key secrets are needed to explode your profits.

First lesson: Learn to cut your losses early; 10% is a good stop loss, but you will get whip sawed a little bit.

If you have plenty of risk capital it increases to -20% or to a max of -25% for a mental stop loss is even better if you have done your research before you trade.

Remember this, if there is no risk, you can bet there will be no serious gain and please realize that every trade you do decide to trade is not going to win as big as some Super Trades that are rare trades.

You may just get three or four series of super trades a year. Hey, you just need one to become a millionaire trader so if you do not get it right the first time, keep trying.

You must learn to have discipline to become a savvy millionaire trader and also must learn that every now and then you must exit or offset your option trade and take a small loss if you”re going to make money at option trading.

It is simply a part of trading and far too few people who trade options do not realize that fact as a reality.

I am going to assume that if you are reading this article then you already have a foundational knowledge of the foreign exchange (forex) market, so I am going to breeze through the basics and go right to the main topic of intermarket analysis.

If you are a financial market junkie like me, the topic of intermarket analysis is a fascinating one because it can applied to making money with forex trading (the main topic of this article) as easily as it can be applied to commodities. As you can probably guess, the term “intermarket” in this context simply means looking beyond normal economic data in order to come to a conclusion about where the price of a certain currency pair is headed. The opposite of intermarket analysis is plain fundamental analysis, usually focusing on major economic data such as employment, labor, and interest rates.

A few of the most significant intermarket relationships have to do with gold, oil, and the 10-year bond yield in the United States. The reason that the 10-year yield is important is because this value can be correlated to the value of a dollar index, or a basket of goods that can reveal the overall strength of the US dollar.

When it comes to gold and oil (which are arguably two of the most important commodities in the world today), the prices of those commodities will most affect the currencies of the countries that produce these commodities. There are two main relationships when it comes to gold and oil: Canada is a large producer of oil, an so the Canadian dollar (CAD) will be affected by changes in oil prices; and Australia produces alot of gold, and there are many companies in Australia that manufacture gold products such as rare coins, so the Australian dollar (AUD) will be affected by changes in gold prices.

These are some of the most profound instances of intermarket relationships in the global economy, but keep in mind that these relationships are *not* exclusive to the currencies I just mentioned. That is to say, changes in gold prices are not going to only affect the price of the Australian dollar and leave the value of every other currency unchanged; changes in the value of these important commodities like gold and oil will affect every currency, it just so happens that a larger part of the Australian economy has business interests in gold, so if gold gets more expensive then it becomes harder to do business.

Though oil and gold each have a “flagship” currency which they affect the most, fluctuations in the price of each of these commodities will also affect every currency in a somewhat predictable manner. When it comes to gold, a basic rule of thumb is that the currency value of all nations will decrease when gold gets more expensive, since this can indicate that more people are buying precious metals because they may not have as much faith in the main governing bodies in the world.

The way that oil affects currency prices is very interesting, since at this point in history (but hopefully not for much longer) nearly every major economy is dependent on oil for transportation and heating. The way that changes in oil prices affect a country’’s currency depend on whether or not that country is an importer or an exporter of oil. As an example, Canada has traditionally been an exporter of oil, whereas the United States has been an importer. So when oil becomes more expensive, this can be damaging to the United States economy and beneficial to an oil-exporter like Canada.

As a forex or currency trader, it is important to understand these relationships so that you do not derive your trading signals from only one source. It is also good to know how major commodities affect currency prices because you can also use this knowledge to make money in the global stock market, by investing in companies such as a Canadian oil producer or an Australian company the specializes in gold coins.

The invention of the Internet has brought about many changes in the way that we conduct our lives and our personal business. We can pay our bills online, shop online, bank online, and even date online!

We can even buy and sell stocks online. Traders love having the ability to look at their accounts whenever they want to, and brokers like having the ability to take orders over the Internet, as opposed to the telephone.

Most brokers and brokerage houses now offer online trading to their clients. Another great thing about trading online is that fees and commissions are often lower. While online trading is great, there are some drawbacks.

If you are new to investing, having the ability to actually speak with a broker can be quite beneficial. If you are a stock market savvy, online trading may be a dangerous thing for you. If this is the case, make sure that you learn as much as you can about trading stocks before you start trading online.

You should also be aware that you do not have a computer with Internet access attached to you. You won”t always have the ability to get online to make a trade. You need to be sure that you can call and speak with a broker if this is the case, using the online broker. This is true whether you are an advanced trader or a beginner.

It is also a good idea to go with an online brokerage company that has been around for a while. You won”t find one that has been in business for fifty years of course, but you can find a company that has been in business that long and now offers online trading.

Again, online trading is a beautiful thing but it isn”t for everyone. Think carefully before you decide to do your trading online, and make sure that you really know what you are doing!
You are unique; there is nobody else like you in the world. Your genetic makeup is unique, your background and upbringing are unique. They have made you what you are today, warts and all. The values that you hold are those that have been instilled in you through your childhood. Your perspective on life has been moulded and created by your parents, your teachers, your partner, your colleagues.

Your entire world is how you see it and not anybody else. Your idea of risk will be yours and yours alone. Your attitude to money will be unique to you. Some of you reading this article will think that $200 is not much to lose in a few minutes, while others will take an opposite view. In terms of your overall capital wealth, it may be a small sum. However, as a percentage of your trading capital, it could be significant. If it’’s 10% you would be out of the game in 10 trades. Less than 1%, you stay in the game longer and live to fight another day.

Undoubtedly, you will have strengths, but you will have weaknesses also. Understanding yourself as a person is the single most important factor in deciding whether you succeed or fail as a trader. If you do not understand yourself, you cannot succeed. Make no mistake about it; your personality has a major influence on how you trade. It is more important than the software you use, your broker, your system, or even what your partner thinks. In Market Wizards, the single most important element of a successful trader is in having a trading plan that fits your personality. How can you write a trading plan if you don”t know your personality? Oh and you probably don”t have a trading plan either!

If you decide to try making some quick money, that too fast, forex trading may be the one you should try. This will be an ideal arena for you to enter to try an alternative arrangement for earning some extra income other than your regular job. You can make it your primary job once you master the trading skills.
The forex market is so huge that it may not be possible for an individual to be aware of the crucial changes that occur all over such as exchange rate fluctuations, political influences, and economic factors. Even the experienced bankers and traders can not predict how these changes can affect your trade.

But this step has to be taken very cautiously as the forex trading is highly volatile, it is very, very large that it is easy for you to miss a turn that affect your investment, it is unpredictable, and has high risk involved.

Forex trading involves dealing with the currencies of different countries. It is buying or selling of one currency for another at a rate both parties have decided. This trading involves different parties from different countries all over the world. So the area is very vast and to keep track of every move takes a lot of time, alertness, and a realistic approach to the different strategies. You have to have access to the latest issues and trends that keep changing at very high speed. Your success lies in how fast you can act upon an information to your benefit.

The fact that forex trading is all about making a fast buck, it posed the danger of you getting addicted to this just like in gambling and it is open to whoever is willing throughout the day, throughout the year.

Only large banks were dealing with foreign currencies previously. Globalization and relaxation of foreign exchange rules make it possible for anyone to enter the forex trade. With this the market achieved more liquidity and more active as the trade is happening all over the world with no time limit.

The dark side of it is that the market became so huge, and the changes are so unpredictable that it is very hard to keep a watch on every move that is happening. Those who are smart enough to understand the market better, do well and the others who can not lose money. So the time management is very crucial here.

If you can study and understand the concept of day trading, you have the potential to be a successful day trader. You need to be aware of how and why share and stock prices fluctuate. Day trading is all about buying and selling commodities or shares in a day. You normally need to close all your share positions at the end of the trading day.

If you have stocks moving with a large volume, this usually means that one person has purchased a lot or several people have been buying these stocks. You might wonder why this occurs because this is not what usually happens in day trading.

It normally means that these people have some information about the stock which you do not. The feel a large scale investment in a certain stock will pay off. If a stock doesn”t move much in day trading, this means that not many people have bought the stock, or not much has been traded.

There is a rule used in day trading when you short a stock. This is called the uptick rule. It is used in day trading to stop the stock going down too quickly. An uptick has to be executed in markets meant for selling stocks. If there is not an uptick and the stock falls, you will be executed for the fallen price. This can be prevented if you place a limit order.

If you use a limit order, it doesn”t matter whether or not you are filled at this price because you are ensured that slippage will not occur in your stock. Down trends occur quicker than up trends in day trading, so with the uptick rule, you will either miss big moves because of your limit order or lose money because of big slippage. It is better to miss big moves than lose money, so you should always use a limit order when you are short selling in day trading.

You might want to think about having a partner for day trading. This might work out well because the other person might have more money and experience so, if you are a novice, this will be helpful and teach you more about day trading. If you trade with a partner, you can trade more and therefore earn more profits.

The only potential problem with partnership is that you have to make sure you both agree on trading decisions and contingency measures. You might end up arguing unless you sort this out first.

Your partner should be someone you know well and trust totally. If you are not sure about them or you differ in your opinions about trading methods, it would be better to trade alone.You need to conquer the five human weaknesses before becoming a day trader. These are greed, fear, jealousy, ignorance and pride. Fear and greed are common in day trading. Greed makes someone trade too much and for too long. Fear might scare someone out of continuing with their winning streak.

Ignorance might mean you make mistakes and pride will not allow you to admit your errors. This might result in small or large losses. If you are jealous, you might end up being too subjective, which is not good for a day trader either.

It is best to have a detached attitude if you are day trading. You must be happy to take risks, you need to be flexible and always willing to learn more. Everyone who is in day trading has to start somewhere but the key is learning as you progress, in order to understand more about the day trading market and become better at it.

It is known that currencies react to a series of events such as inflation, interest rates, the state of the economy, and so forth. Because of this, it is vital to keep evaluating the various data, in order to form an opinion of the direction the currency of your choice might be heading.

Let us look at inflation and what it actually means. It is not about a particular model of a boat or a motorcycle, or certain services costing more money, which could be due to business enterprise success or failure, but about a widespread increase in prices throughout the country.

The rate of the inflation is based on a calculation of the average price change right across the economy. This is usually taken over a period of a year, hence the term annual inflation.

If there is an annual inflation rate for a particular month, say March this year of two per cent, it would mean that the prices in general were 2 per cent higher this March, than in the same month last year. Therefore, a blend of usually purchased items costing GBP100 last March, would be costing GBP102 this March.

To get the right reading, prices are taken all over the country in many sectors like the supermarkets, big stores, travel and insurance firms, etc.

There are other issues which set the level of inflation in the economy, but the fundamental causes of inflation have to do with the extent of demand in the economy, and can be narrowed down to how much cash can be spent in relation to what can be produced.

When demand shoots up above what can normally be produced in normal circumstances, this upward pressure creates a rise in costs and prices. When the demand is down, this creates a downward pressure in costs and prices. To keep inflation controlled, it is required to keep a balance between the demand and output situation. When you have an excessive demand to the supply position, you have a formula to generate an inflation climate. This is the reason for stability as a goal.

Lowering interest rates may well see a rise in output, but only for a limited period. If both demand and output have been strongly increased and then suddenly fall, it is called boom and bust.

It is also useful to keep an eye on the extent of the employment and unemployment figures. These can indicate the size of the economic movement as well as the weight of labour demand, increases of wages, and of prices.

Do not forget to take notice of the (CPI) Consumer Price Index which is an important measure of inflation.

Watch also the balance of trade situation. A trade surplus is a positive balance of trade, namely the exports are bigger than the imports, whereas a trade deficit is a negative balance of trade with imports being larger than exports.

There are a number of other points that can be looked into of course, but the main ones are important to keep in mind at all times.

A number of people follow the charts, and keep an eye on what the position was year after year.

There is no known magic formula as such, to positively determine the direction of any currency pair, but being informed as much as possible, goes a long way to narrow the odds against you.

When trading currencies online, there are several basic order types that you need to know. While there are a variety of orders that may be placed, remember to keep it simple, especially you beginning forex traders.

Market Order: Orders to get in or out of a position at the current market price. Execution is typically guaranteed, but price is not. A market order ensures that you will get into or out of the market.

Limit Order: Orders that specify that a trade must be executed at a specific price in the future. Execution is typically not guaranteed, but rather a “best efforts”. They can be used to enter or exit a position.

Take Profit Order: A limit order that currency traders can use in an attempt to capture accrued profits and exit a position.

Stop Order: A stop order is used most often to protect against accruing additional losses, although execution and price is not always guaranteed. The most common use of a stop order is to set an exit point for a losing trade to try to limit risk. The term “stop” refers to stopping a loss.

Trailing Stop Order: A trailing stop order allows you to configure your stop order to continue to follow the price movement in real-time by specifying the distance in pips you would like your stop to move, depending on the market direction. As opposed to a hard stop like above.

Order Cancels Order (OCO): Also known as One Cancels Other. After entering the market, a limit order to protect profits, and a stop-loss order to limit losses can be placed. When either the limit or the stop order is executed, it will cancel the other order automatically.

Day Order: A day order remains in effect until the end of the trading day. Because the forex market is a 24 hour ongoing market, the end of the day is either a set hour or until the opening of the Asian market.

Good till Canceled Order (GTC): A good till canceled order remains active until the trader decides to cancel it, or it is triggered by the parameters set by the forex trader. It is the traders responsibility, not the dealers, to remember there is an open order.

When trading currencies in the forex market, stay away from complex order methodologies because of the increased possibility for mistakes and errors. It’’s just too easy to push the wrong button in a complex sequence during the fast moving trading hours.

The forex market is changing rapidly. Even as recently as two years ago it was relatively rare to find a dealer who offered trailing stop orders. Now it seems most, if not all do. So keep abreast of new technology by reading articles and forum posts. Good luck in your currency trading!

Online currency trading (also known as FOREX, for foreign exchange) has all the benefits that a trader could want. With the 24 hour, 6 days a week marketplace, you can trade before work, during work, or after work. Whenever you see fit. The day begins in New Zealand and follows the sun through Asia, into Europe, and then the US. Then it starts all over again.

The FOREX market is the most liquid market in the world. That means that a trader can enter or exit the currency market whenever they want. With no commissions and no gaps, or lock limits, and no daily trading limit either. This market is bigger in daily volume than all of the other stock, bond, and futures markets of the world combined! And then some!

Leverage of 100 to 1 is considered normal when currency trading. Compare that to the 2 to 1 margin accounts at your stock brokerage. Plus, there’’s no margin interest expense either. But you better have your risk management system in place because, remember, leverage cuts both ways.

You”ve heard the saying,the trend is your friend. Well guess what the best trending market is? That’’s right, the FOREX market. Central banks and governments set their own monetary policy. Take the Fed for example. They don”t (usually) raise interest rates today and then next week lower them. And then raise them again. No, they tend to gradually, over time, raise them, month by month, until they feel they are correctly positioned. And then they lower them, month by month, or quarter by quarter, whichever. That gradual tightening and loosening over an extended period of time is what creates those wonderful trends.

When you are trading currencies online, remember to trade with the trend. And when the trend ends, get out. It’’s that simple, just not that easy. Then start looking for the trend to reverse itself. You need to have no hang ups about being long or short when you trade currencies. At any given time, approximately a third of the currency pairs are are going up, a third are going down, and the other third are going sideways. So don”t be afraid to go short. If you are coming from the stock market, there are no short squeezes to worry about, no one uptick rule, or any other crazy rules. You just decide to buy or sell; that’’s it.

When you trade currencies online, they are always bought and sold in pairs. An example of a currency pair is the popularly traded EUR/USD. This is the Euro vs. the U.S. Dollar. The currency on the left is called the base currency. The one on the right is the cross currency

If you buy the EUR/USD currency pair, you are buying euros, and at the same time, selling dollars. You would do this if you think the Euro is going to rise in value and/or you think the Dollar is going to fall in value.

If you sell the EUR/USD currency pair, you are selling euros, and at the same time, buying dollars. You would do this if you think the Euro is going to decline in value and/or you think the Dollar is going to rise in value.

Currency trading has so many benefits and advantages to it, it is no wonder why it is the fastest growing segment of the online trading community. The FOREX market offers superior potential to realize profits in any market condition or business cycle, making online currency trading an ideal diversification element in your total investment portfolio.

You may have an illusion that forex trading is something very easy and simple but in reality a lot of trader will lose all the money they have. So what are the mistakes they made?

In fact, the number one mistake they make is that they do not prepare well. They will think that they can make money by following a system from others. They may even think that they can predict the forex price. In fact, you should not just follow the others if you want to be successful in forex trading.

Besides, some people lose because they think that there is a formula for them to follow and they can just trade according to this scientific formula. However, the sad fact is that there is no such formula in the world. If such formula really exists, all of us have already become billionaire.

The most serious mistake, according to experiences, is probably being too greedy. Some traders want to make the most money out of the market and they try to predict the highest price they call trade. They will be reluctant to make the deal even if they know they have already made some money. However, they will only find later that they cannot make money or even lose because they have missed the chance.

In fact, discipline is very important if you want to be successful in the forex market. Most traders know that it is important but they are just unable to do so. And this will make them lose money in the market.

You have to do your own research. You have also to study the market yourself. Of course you are also going to make your own decision. You should not just listen to what others say. Instead you should only take the opinions of the others some advices.

Besides, if you have set a target, you should make the deal when it is achieved. You should never think that you will be able to make more money and forget your original target. As discussed, this is the most serious mistake some traders make.

To be honest, forex trading is not easy. However, if you can work hard and do your own research, you will always have the chance to make money. You have to keep learning. Education is probably the most important thing if you would like to make money from forex trading. And if you have the discipline and educate yourself well, there is no reason why you cannot be successful in the marketing.
