Gold Investing Attracts Attention Like Nothing Else

By Mike Swanson

People all over the world are looking for new investments each day. A couple of years ago it would have been incredibly easy to find a true investment. Nowadays, no one is making any money and the stock market has gone over the edge. The best trade that you could look into right now is gold investing. Take a look and see what it is all about.

If you are new to the entire business of gold investing, you may want to look for a broker. A broker will know where to look and how to invest. For those who have the money to spend but not the knowledge, a broker will be your guide. Look into one and find out what they can do for you.

There are also a number of websites that specialize in currency and gold investing and trading. If you would like to invest, a website might be the perfect solution. These sites literally take out all of the hard work. They will give you the results that you are in search of.

The world of gold is a fast paced world. Once you are in, you need to make your money and get out. If you are looking for a long term investment, this is not going to be one. The great thing about gold is it is a very short investment. Once you make your money you are all done!

It is also very important to look at your money situation. If you are struggling as it is it may not be a good idea to invest. On the other hand, if you have an extra 200 dollars that you can spend, give it a try. You could easily double that within a day.

Gold investing is a whole lot better than investing in the stock market right now. Take all of these tools along with you, when you feel you are ready to invest. Once you make your quick money, get out while the going is still good! - 23305

How To Make Money Online With Automated Forex Trading Software

By Phil Jarvie

I have 2 great passions: working from home and trading forex. Twenty years ago it was impossible to trade forex as it was exclusively the domain of large banks and brokers. But now and for the past few years there have been many changes to the way forex markets operate and so now small home traders can live and breathe the forex trading markets making very tidy profits along the way without leaving home. Software and the Internet allow us individual traders to place buy and sell orders with our broker or brokers. Some of this software is manually operated; some of it is fully automated forex trading software.

How much money will you need to begin your career as a forex trader? Ideally $10,000 would give you a real boost so that you can buy say 3 forex trading robot software programs and some forex training course materials - all up under $700 leaving you with well over $9,000 for your trading account. Of course you won't be just jumping in and trading on a live account - all brokers provide free demo accounts until you are ready to go live. And I personally started with only $500 in my trading account and the profits from it grew very quickly to $10,000. But let's look at some software options first.

Which is the biggest software robot on the market? Without question it is called Fap Turbo. 37,000 users have bought this forex robot over the past 9 years and it really is the industry heavy-weight. Fap Winner is the additional package you must buy as it gives Fap Turbo and Fap users the best insights and settings to use to get the best profits out of them in changing market conditions. As the biggest, you will definitely need this expert advisor forex robot in your tool kit. But there is more.

Forex Maestro: In the Internet there are groups of experienced traders who get together and work on programming the perfect software robot for trading forex. This is where many of the forex robots are developed - behind closed doors as experienced programmers and traders design and build the next biggest and greatest forex software tool. Forex Maestro is just such a program. There is much speculation that actually Maestro was released without the programmers consent. But the fact is that it has been successfully selling on the market now for quite a few months.

Forex Funnel: Forex Funnel say it's designed to trade the USDJPY pair on a 1 hour chart, but actually you can trade profitably on other pairs. It is best to go with what they recommend, so stick with USDJPY as there maybe some aspect of that pair they are exploiting. It is a very aggressive expert advisor, and it is only suited to larger trading accounts - not less than $5,000 because it can draw down quite a large portion of your account before swinging into large profits. Perhaps not for the new forex trader, but certainly worth a look at when you have a few months trading behind you.

The trick to making the right decision for you is to find a very good review website that will openly and honestly talk about and compare all the main forex robot products available. You must get past the hype and high pressure sales tactics of the vendors and find someone with years of experience who has bothered to explain them all to you. Good reviews are not reviews that try to sell you on an expert advisor. Good reviews are ones that only talk about the facts, honestly pointing out the pros and cons of each, and advise you as to what level of trading experience you should have to use it.

All in all if you want to buy a robot, but you know nothing about this - these sites for the reviews are going to be the first step you are going to want to take. Once you read through a few - or all the reviews and you make your decision you can always come back to the site and look at what else the site might offer. For instance, my site I built not only has a lot of reviews on these programs, but they also offers articles such as; Benefits of Robots for Forex Trading, Brokers - How to find one, how to pay him, and Forex Trading Platforms and Forex Robots. This site could essentially be your be all to end all! - 23305

Candlestick Patterns (Part I)

By Ahmad Hassam

Based only on the market activity of the previous few days, most candlestick patterns are valid. Using one of these without knowing about the previous trends wouldnt be very useful. For instance, some of the candlestick patterns indicate a change in trend.

Usually the context in which you find the candlestick pattern tells you a great deal about what you should do based on that candlestick pattern. Lets consider simple candlestick patterns first.

The Bullish White Marubozu: It represents the day when bulls control the market and push prices higher from the opening to the closing. The longest white candle is the most bullish of the candlestick patterns. Chances are the bulls will be back for more buying the following day with the long white candle closing near the high.

This means that buying has been taking place all the day. With the long white candle, the low price on the candlestick is a good support level. One common feature of the long white candle is an open near the low of the day and a close near the high of the day.

The Bullish Dragonfly Doji: A Doji is formed when the opening and the closing prices are the same. So essentially there is no stick in the candlestick. For a Doji to be created, a day must begin and end with the same price.

Doji patterns are usually associated with a market turn. Doji depicts a day where the battle between the bulls and the bears has been fairly equal. A Doji may not look very exciting to you. But dont be fooled.

For those hoping that prices go higher, the price action depicted by the Dragonfly Doji bodes very well. A Dragonfly Doji is unique in that three of the four candlestick patterns- the open, high and the close are all equal. The low of the Dragonfly Doji day is considered a near term support level. You can make smart trades based on the Dragonfly Dojis.

The Bearish Long Black Candle: A long black candle means that sellers take over at the beginning of the day and push prices lower and lower until the end of the day. The long black candle is the direct counterpart of the long white candle discussed earlier. The long black candle is as bearish as it gets.

Price sensitivity is very low for these sellers and they are selling just to get out of their trades regardless of the prices. The long black candlestick pattern is a good bearish signal. You can capitalize on this fact. Seeing this type of enthusiastic selling must give you the confidence after the appearance of the long black candle that the bears will be in control for a few more days. - 23305

Black Horse Fund Tweaks Algorithm For Larger Forex Gains

By Robert Miller

Forex investment requires a combination of technical and fundamental analysis in order to trade knowledgeably. Successful Forex investors stay ahead of the curve by not only watching their stocks but also by watching their data collection methods.

Black Horse Fund, a private forex fund, has recently revised its proprietary algorithm to drive even greater success into its investing practices. While their algorithm undergoes continuous change, this most recent upgrade was noteworthy, even if they are keeping the details under wraps.

Black Horse Fund accepts limited partners who add their money into a pot which Black Horse Fund then trades on their behalf. Using a small group of partners and a highly experienced team of traders, Black Horse successfully profits from the very liquid currency market, a market that is much larger than the equity market.

Fundamental analysis uses facts pulled from reports and news stories to create an economic picture about a specific currency, currency pair, or overall market condition. Expert traders then apply their experience and insight to formulate investment strategies based on what they've learned.

Technical analysis tracks trends and charts, comparing various pricing events in the life of a currency, currency pair, or overall marketing condition. Traders use an algorithm to monitor and flag these events and perform initial interpretation on the data. Then they take that initial data and perform their own insightful analysis.

The algorithm Black Horse uses has been an important part of their technical analysis right from the very beginning. But any member of the Black Horse Fund team will tell you: Creating the algorithm was just one step. Maintaining, upgrading, and enhancing it is a commitment to an ongoing improvement, all for the pursuit of greater gains.

With success comes popularity and Black Horse Fund's limited partnership has filled up quickly. They have locked the number of partners and are only accepting a couple more partners before the Fund will be completely full and all new applications will be automatically rejected. - 23305

Technical Analysis - A Forex Training Guide

By Bart Icles

Being a beginner in the forex trading world can be very challenging. If you are looking forward to participate in actual trading, you might end up frustrated when you learn that you will still need to invest most of your time knowing more about the different factors that affect the market. Learning the basics is gruelling but this is the only way for you to effectively start a successful career in currency trading. In fact, a forex training on the basics of the market is not a guarantee for success, it merely makes it easier for you to understand the market and accept potential frustrations. One important thing that you will need to learn more about is technical analysis. This is a very important topic to know more about, especially if you are planning to participate in day trading.

To start, technical analysis is an effort to calculate currency price movements through an analysis of various market data. These data include volumes, historical price trends, open interests, and a lot others. Technical analysis is pretty much based on a historical principle, where there is always a possibility that things will recur over time. One should take note that although technical analysis involves an evaluation of actual data, it still cannot guarantee an absolute forecast of how things will turn out to be in the future.

If you think that indicators generated from a technical analysis will help you understand what will most likely happen to market prices over a certain period of time, you are more likely to be correct. Technical trading hinges heavily on charts and graphs. If you are looking into participating in day trading, it can be wise to invest on at least one charting or graphing software that can help you better read, understand, and plot data for your own reference.

Typical indicators involved in a technical analysis include simple moving averages, relative strength indices, moving average convergence or divergence, parabolic SAR, and Fibonacci numbers. You can find a forex training course on such factors in many online resources.

You might think that there is security in technical analysis because it takes into account historical market trends. However, you must remember that engaging in forex trading based on technical analysis alone can be risky because not everything that has happened in the past will happen the same way in the future. On the other hand, you cannot disregard a forex training on technical analysis, especially if you believe you will be making more short-term decisions than mid- or long-term calls in your forex career. Still, using a balance between technical and fundamental analyses appears to be the safest way to make investment decisions. - 23305
