Why Managed accounts are helpful?

Managed forex accounts can be a helpful tool for the new or inexperienced investor, and for those investors who simply prefer having their money handled by a professional. The forex (foreign exchange) market is a highly specialized form of day trading that deals in the world’s currencies. Trading forex is speculative, with potential for huge profits and great losses, so knowledge of the market is essential for successful trading. Managed forex accounts can offer an inroad to that knowledge.

Forex is a 24-hour market that is traded over the counter (OTC) via the “interbank” with centers in New York, London, Tokyo and Sydney. It is also a global market. Some forex investors have no desire to watch the market 24 hours a day. Others either do not have the experience, or simply do not have the time. Managed forex accounts provide investors with an experienced forex “watchdog” to act on the investor’s behalf. Professional traders can not only keep an eye on the ever-changing conditions, but also have access to a greater range of trading situations. In addition, with a professional on the job, the investor gains improved time and increased flexibility. The professional can acquire information on the fly and take advantage of opportunities as they arise.

For the traditional investor, managed forex accounts can provide portfolio diversification. Real estate, equities, fixed income and other traditional investments tend to be cyclical in nature. Trading on the forex market gives the classical trader an opportunity to make money regardless of the activity on the stock market. Traders with managed forex accounts can utilize both long and short positions, because in forex trading there is no difference in the profit potential between the two positions. Considered “biased long”, forex is capable of profiting under any market condition.

Overseeing transactions is just one of several benefits managed forex accounts provide. Minimum investment required with forex is lower than the more traditional equity and real estate accounts. Additionally, managed forex accounts deal only with the individual trade, (unlike mutual funds where trades involve funds of several investors). As a result, investors have access to the entire balance of their account. There is no lock-up period, so the investor can withdraw any or all funds at their discretion. In addition, professionals have access to more markets, and can more easily manage the higher risk, more volatile currencies.

Knowledge of the market is essential, but so is knowledge of who is participating in the market. To begin forex trading, an investor must have an account, a trading platform and a reputable broker. Before making a commitment to trading forex, perform background research on brokers, particularly regarding their country of operation. Because of the lack of a central exchange, managed forex accounts brokers are governed by the regulations of their individual country. In the United States, brokers must register with the Futures Commission Merchant (FCM). The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) regulates them. Subsequently, each broker has an NFA (National Futures Association) ID, and the Brokers can be checked out with regulatory authorities.

What is Scalping?

Scalping is a trading style specializing in taking profits on small price changes, generally soon after a trade has been entered and has become profitable. It requires a trader to have a strict exit strategy because one large loss could eliminate the many small gains that the trader has worked to obtain. Having the right tools such as a live feed, a direct-access broker and the stamina to place many trades is required for this strategy to be successful.


A scalper intends to take as many small profits as possible, not allowing them to evaporate. Such an approach is the opposite of the "let your profits run" mindset, which attempts to optimize positive trading results by increasing the size of winning trades while letting others reverse. Scalping achieves results by increasing the number of winners and sacrificing the size of the wins. It's not uncommon for a trader of a longer time frame to achieve positive results by winning only half or even less of his or her trades - it's just that the wins are much bigger than the losses. A successful scalper, however, will have a much higher ratio of winning trades versus losing ones while keeping profits roughly equal or slightly bigger than losses.

The main premises of scalping are:

•Lessened exposure limits risk - A brief exposure to the market diminishes the probability of running into an adverse event.
Smaller moves are easier to obtain - A bigger imbalance of supply and demand is needed to warrant bigger price changes. It is easier for a stock to make a 10 cent move than it is to make a $1 move.
•Smaller moves are more frequent than larger ones - Even during relatively quiet markets there are many small movements that a scalper can exploit.
Scalping can be adopted as a primary or supplementary style of trading.

Primary Style
A pure scalper will make a number of trades a day, between five and 10 to hundreds. A scalper will mostly utilize one-minute charts since the time frame is small and he or she needs to see the setups as they shape up as close to real time as possible. Quote systems Nasdaq Level II, TotalView and/or Times and Sales are essential tools for this type of trading. Automatic instant execution of orders is crucial to a scalper, so a direct-access broker is the favored weapon of choice.

Supplementary Style
Traders of other time frames can use scalping as a supplementary approach in several ways. The most obvious way is to use it when the market is choppy or locked in a narrow range. When there are no trends in a longer time frame, going to a shorter time frame can reveal visible and exploitable trends, which can lead a trader to scalp.

Another way to add scalping to longer time-frame trades is through the so-called "umbrella" concept. This approach allows a trader to improve his or her cost basis and maximize a profit. Umbrella trades are done in the following way:

•A trader initiates a position for a longer time-frame trade.
•While the main trade develops, a trader identifies new setups in a shorter time frame in the direction of the main trade, entering and exiting them by the principles of scalping.
Practically any trading system, based on particular setups, can be used for the purposes of scalping. In this regard, scalping can be seen as a kind of method of risk management. Basically any trade can be turned into a scalp by taking a profit near the 1:1 risk/reward ratio. This means that the size of profit taken equals the size of a stop dictated by the setup. If, for instance, a trader enters his or her position for a scalp trade at $20 with an initial stop at $19.90, then the risk is 10 cents; this means a 1:1 risk/reward ratio will be reached at $20.10.

Scalp trades can be executed on both long and short sides. They can be done on breakouts or in range-bound trading. Many traditional chart formations, such as a cup and handle or triangle, can be used for scalping. The same can be said about technical indicators if a trader bases decisions on them.

Money Management Tips:

Learning effective money management not only enables you to live comfortably within your means, but also helps you to increase your wealth. Use these money management tips to stay in control of your money!
Set a Money Management Goal
Money management is a means to an end. However, make your goal practical and be sure the “end” is in clear sight. Although your money management goal may be to have a comfortable retirement, start small with objectives like paying off a credit card within X number of months or saving $X by the end of the year. In money management, like in any regimen, there’s nothing like the satisfaction of success to keep you on track!

Know what you have
Before you can live within your means, you need to know what your means are. Start money management by taking stock of your money. You’ll probably be surprised at how rich you really are!

As well as the cash in your pocket or purse, include piggy bank cash, bank balances, and available credit from credit cards. (Lines of credit, such as overdraft protections and available credit from credit balances, are additional resources we can use to purchase goods and services. At first look, they appear to be a part of our money. However, credit always belongs to the creditor. When we tap into these financial resources, they decrease our spending power over the long haul with finance charges, fees, and interest that increase our debt.)

Go on a treasure hunt to find lost money. Look in coat and trouser pockets, through Birthday and other greeting cards, jewelry boxes, dresser drawers, under furniture cushions, behind and under furniture, in your freezer, and under your mattress!

Although our money is an asset and all of our assets are types of our money, generally we’re more inclined to think of assets as property.
However although all of our possessions are parts of our wealth that we can turn into cash, usually they are the types of our money that we want to protect from creditors. For instance, you probably don’t want to sell your car or cash in a valuable coin collection to pay a bill. Yet, the ability to convert property to cash is a good concept to remember in identifying and effectively managing your money.

Some assets like vehicles and appliances depreciate (decrease in value) over time. Yet, while they don’t increase spending power, you can turn them into cash.

Long-term assets like real estate holdings, investments, and personal property such as collections, artworks, and antiques appreciate (increase in value) over time and actually enable us to save money and increase our wealth.


Track your income
Really track your income! If you have at least a month’s worth of old check stubs, add them up and divide them to see what your average income is. Better yet, if you can add them for a quarter year and divide by 13 (number of weeks in a quarter) you’ll get a more accurate view of your earning power. If you haven’t saved check stubs, do it for at least four weeks. Don’t just add your weekly wage times four. You’ll be forgetting sick days, flat-tire days, and omitting extra income from overtime and holidays.

Track your spending
Once you know what money you have now and what income you can expect to get, it’s time to find out where your money goes. Take a month and track your spending down to the penny. Make your first purchase a small notebook and pen you can carry in purse or pocket.
Record everything! In addition to tracking the cash you spend, use your notebook to record every bill payment, check, debit, and credit card expenditure. Include the amount you paid, who you paid (or where you shopped), and the date you made the purchase.
After a couple of weeks, you’ll find yourself reconsidering if you really need that pack of gum or mid-morning cafĂ© latte. However, this money management exercise is designed to show you how you usually spend your money. It’s important during this month not to deny yourself your usual pleasures, no matter how trivial they are.

Setting a realistic goal, knowing what you have, what you expect to earn, and tracking your spending are the basics of money management that enable you to control your money and make wise budgeting choices in the future.

Technical Analysis GBP/USD

GBP/USD
We are treating the drop from 2.0396 as a leading diagonal (wave 1 of C within the A-B-C decline from 2.1160). Under this interpretation, the GBPUSD rally from 1.9599 is wave 2 within the 5 wave drop (wave C) from 2.0396. Keep risk at 1.9964.
STRATEGY: Bearish, against 1.9964, target below 1.9337

Very Simple Very Good ;-)

Forex is all about making pips and converting them into Dollars ;-) isent it? yeah it is ... well the more you know the more you get confused... isent it? I DISAGREE :-) Know more but implement only Few .... so when you use simple strategies you wont get confused atleast you wont be thinking about to trust your Moving averages or to trust your MACD or RSI ... apart from all of this ... I designed and implemented very simple strategy and to expose it to all you people mostly my Marketiva Friends and Students !!!

Why you trade 10 or 20 trades a day? to risk more? A survey reports said that " Out of 10 people only 2 people are successful in trading" why dont you be the one in those 2 TRADERS?
So if you want to be in those 2 Traders "TRADE LESS" and enter only when trend is set.... your 2 or maximum of 3 trades can make you earn a SINGLE position but your 10 trades can make you pay 8 trades in losses according to that Survey :-)

Best Regards,
Pip-Machine.
