Trading is a skill that takes time to learn. Think of it like Boxing it's also a skill that takes time to learn. If you get into a professional boxing ring without any training, you'll get beat up physically! If you get into the Forex ring without any training, you'll get beat up financially! The similarities are that both the examples are Skills, and both require psychological preparation. The difference is that one is physical and the other is financial. We can get over a physical beating usually in a few days or weeks, BUT a financial beating can be devastating and easily affect us for the rest of our lives, not only does it hurt our hip pocket but it can cause problems with our relationships and family.

Forex Trading, What Hours Should I Be Ready For Trading?

 

Once you have decided to enter the Forex trading world you will find that FX trading has many advantages over other capital markets. Including among others; very low margins, free trading platforms, high leverage and around-the-clock trading. It is my main concern in this article to let you know what hours you should be ready and focus for start trading, so you can expect the highest profits in your trades, and not just consider that around-the-clock trading means you should randomly trade through out the day. In short, it is important to know what the best hours to trade are because if you want to find an appreciable number of profitable trades you need to enter the forex market at the best period of time, i.e., when the activity, the volume of transactions, is the highest. At any given time; somebody, somewhere in the world is buying and selling currencies. As one market closes, another market opens. Business hours overlap, and the exchange continues as day becomes night and night becomes day. Giving you 5.5 entire potential trading days. Forex Trading begins in New Zealand at Sunday 5pm EST, and then is followed by Australia, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and America in this order and through out the day and through out the week until Friday 4pm EST when the American market closes. Other important facts every Forex trader should know are: the US & UK markets account for more than 50% of the forex market transactions; Forex major markets are: London, New York and Tokyo. Nearly two-thirds of NY activity occurs in the morning hours while European markets are open. And maybe one of the most important characteristics; Forex Trading activity is heaviest when major markets overlap. So, the answer to the question; "What hours should I be trading?" is dictated by this last characteristic, you should trade when the major markets overlap. Now, when do they overlap?. Considering the different time zones of the world and open and close times for Australian, New Zealand, Japan, America and Europe markets. We can arrive to the conclusion that there are two major time gaps when two of the major markets overlap during trading hours. These hours are between 2 am and 4 am EST (Asian/European) and between 8 am to 12 pm EST(European/N. American). So if you want to catch the best trading opportunities of the day and you are in the American continent you must be ready to wake up early or go to sleep late some times. Of course things change around the world. What's the best region where to trade from if you can't wake up early?... Maybe the Ukraine. by Adrian Pablo

 

First what is Forex: The FOREX or Foreign Exchange market is the largest financial market in the world, with an volume of more than $1.5 trillion daily, dealing in currencies. Unlike other financial markets, the Forex market has no physical location, no central exchange. It operates through an electronic network of banks, corporations and individuals trading one currency for another. What is a myth: A myth is often thought to be a lesson in story form which has deep explanatory or symbolic resonance for preliterate cultures, who preserve and cherish the wisdom of their elders through oral traditions by the use of skilled story tellers.

Unlike other financial markets, the Forex market has no physical location, no central exchange. It operates through an electronic network of banks, corporations and individuals trading one currency for another. The Forex, or foreign currency exchange, is all about money. Money from all over the world is bought, sold and traded. On the Forex, anyone can buy and sell currency and with possibly come out ahead in the end. When dealing with the foreign currency exchange, it is possible to buy the currency of one country, sell it and make a profit. For example, a broker might buy a Japanese yen when the yen to dollar ratio increases, then sell the yens and buy back American dollars for a profit.

 

In the spot forex market, all trades must be settled in two business days. A rollover refers to the process of closing open position for today's value date and the opening of the same position for the next day's value date at a price reflecting the difference in interest rates between the two currencies. In accordance with international banking practices, Forex brokers automatically rolls over all open positions to the next date at 5 PM EST for settlement. Rollover involves exchanging the position being held for a position expiring the following settlement date. For example, for trades executed on Monday, the value date is Wednesday. However, if a position is opened on Monday and held overnight, the value date is now Thursday. The exception is a position opened and held overnight on Wednesday. The normal value date would be Saturday; because banks are closed on Saturday the value date is actually the following Monday. Due to the weekend, positions held overnight on Wednesday incur or earn an extra two days of interest. Trades with a value date that falls on a holiday will also incur or earn additional interest. Forex Traders can earn interest on rollovers, depending on the direction of their positions and interest rate differential between the two currencies involved. For instance, the primary interest rates in Great Britain are much higher than in Japan, so if a trader buys GBP, he/she will earn interest at 5 PM EST time. on the other hand, if he/she sells GBP in this currency pair, he/she will pay interest at 5 PM EST time. Overnight Interest/Rollover is automatically paid to a client's account after buying a currency with greater Interest Rate in its country, and charged to a client's account if the country issuing this currency has smaller Primary Interest Rates. by Martin Maier http://www.fenixcapitalmanagement.com

Start Investing in New Homes

 

One of the perks about being a real estate buyer is the fact that you get to look at different new homes and get a better idea of what kind of house you want to purchase for your family. Even though there may be a lot of different properties that catch your eye, you may want to do some things that will help to speed the selection process up. If you are like most people, you may not have a lot of time to spend looking for the perfect home. The sooner you find your dream house, the sooner you can move in, get comfortable and start making some memories.
Even though there are some older houses on the market that seem like they are cheaper and better bargains, if you don't have a lot of money to invest, you may want to steer clear of those properties. Foreclosed and abandoned homes are notorious for needing repairs. People that purchase those properties usually have a substantial amount of money to use towards making any improvements that

What's Your Color?

 

Colors have always been a tricky thing to master. Some colors look great on others and disgusting on me. One day I can rock a dress that makes me look wonderfully bronzed while other colors make me look miserably washed out. I've always asked my trusted "advisors" for their opinions, but what happens when your friends are unavailable via picture message before you leave the house?? Don't worry, I got you covered! Keep this in mind the next time you go shopping solo or need to make an "educated" decision at home!
Color Your Feelings
Remember that colors can evoke certain feelings from those around you, so wear accordingly!
Black. Black is the color of authority and power. While it can make you appear to be thinner, it also can achieve a look that is aloof or evil. Pair with some bright accessories and go easy on the eyeliner to keep the look upbeat.

The workplace can be a stressful place and tension between co-workers is very common

Expert Author Ari Novick, Ph.D.
The workplace can be a stressful place and tension between co-workers is very common. A recent example of this was this past Friday morning, August 24th, 2012. Jeffrey Johnson was apparently distraught after being laid off from his job in the garment industry last year. He couldn't get past his anger issues and he would continue to return to the company, instigating confrontations with another employee during each visit. The two men filed harassment complaints against each other, but the arguments continued on. The situation came to a head last week when Johnson completely snapped and went to his old office, this time shooting and killing this co-worker. Two people were killed,

Bacteria, the Foundation of Life

 

 
Expert Author Ashok Malhotra

Bacteria are often maligned as the causes of human and animal disease. However that is true only for some bacteria. In fact bacteria are the basis for life. Without them no life at all would have been possible on our planet. Bacteria is a plural word. The singular for this word is "bacterium. They have one chromosome of double-stranded DNA in a ring and most are friendly. Only a few cause disease. But then what life form is there including plants and animals, a few of whom do not cause problems. Bacteria are life because they can multiply by duplication. However, they do not multiply by mating as higher life forms do. In the process, occasionally there are genetic mutations that are preserved
