How to chose a Forex Broker
There are ways that a dishonest broker can skim profits off of your trade. One of those ways is by taking advantage of what can be up to a 2 minute gap between the time that you place your order and the time that you see the results on your platform. Second- the broker controls the price you see on your trading platform and there’s a custom made opportunity to shave profit from the transaction if the price moved before the transaction was posted back to your screen.
Forex Social Networks
In the past few years, social networks have become very big business indeed. Sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn are now some of the most frequently used services on the web, with millions of users the world over logging in daily to connect with friends, colleagues, and business associates. Their massive popularity has led to the establishment of a plethora of more specialized, niche networks designed to connect people who engage in shared activities. The advantages are obvious – they allow people to make contact with other people who are active in their chosen field, wherever they are in the world, and share their experiences and expertise. This can be particularly valuable for investors, as having the right information within reach can make all the difference between making a profit and a loss.
Trading Psychology – Staying Calm Under Pressure
Whether you are dealing on the Forex market or any of the other financial markets, trading can be a very stressful activity at times. The main problem is that whether a trade goes for you or against you, it can affect your emotions in a profound way, and this can lead to you to behave in an erratic fashion. Needless to say, letting your heart rule your head is rarely an effective trading strategy, but if you get too emotionally involved in what you are doing, it can be difficult not to fall into this trap. If you are making lots of small trades throughout the day, this can magnify this issue, as you might be on a roll one minute, and making a big loss in the next. When things happen quickly like this, it can be very difficult to keep your emotions in check. Even if you have set down a specific trading strategy that you plan to stick to, it can be hard to execute it when you are overwhelmed with emotion.
