Forex Trend Following

Using Breakouts Huge Profits

The most lucrative form of trading is locking into and following long term trends in forex that can last for months or years. Most traders have no idea how to profit from forex trend following so we will show you how to do it in 5 simple steps.

1. Be Selective
The first point to keep in mind is that the big trades don’t come around very often so you need to be patient and selective. You don’t get rewarded for trading frequently; you get rewarded for being right.
You can trade less than a dozen times a year and make triple digit gains, if you pick the right trades. So don’t be tempted to get in the market for the sake of it be patient.
2. Watch Breakouts
Forget buying low and selling high – most great trends start from new market highs and you have to be ready to buy these breaks.
If you wait for a pullback you will simply miss the best trends, because when a new trend breaks out - it moves quickly.
The best risk/ reward is offered on the these breaks. Most traders can’t buy breakouts, as they want to buy at a lower better price and wait for a pullback and they never get in and miss the trade.

3. Use a Simple System
To trend follow and catch breakouts you don’t need a complicated system.
All you need to understand are basic trend lines and the concept of support and resistance and that’s it.
A simple forex trading system is best, as it’s easy to understand and easy to apply – if you complicate your system, it will be less robust and will have too many elements which will break in trading.
All the best forex trading systems are simple and yours should be to.

4. Trade Valid Support and resistance only
Keep in mind, you only want to trade breaks that are considered important by the market.
This means that levels have been tested several times, in at least two time frames, preferably a few months.
When these levels are broken, chances are there are stops behind the level wating to be hit and new trend followers waiting to kick in which will accelerate the price trend.

5. Confirm – Confirm – Confirm!
Make sure that any breakout is confirmed by momentum oscillators – this will ensure you filter out false breakouts.
If you are not trading with price momentum, you’re not trading the odds and you won’t win – period.
Only take breakouts confirmed by a rise in price momentum.
We don’t have time to discuss the indicators to use here - but look up: RSI, ADX and the stochastic, as a good place to start.

6. Accept Short Term volatility
Breakout trading can see huge volatility after the initial breakout has occurred, don’t be tempted to move your stop to quickly WAIT.
You’re trying to catch the big trends so accept that you will see counter moves eat into your profits by several thousand a day.
If you want to catch the big trends and make $10, $20, $30,000 or more - accept the drawdowns in the short term and keep your eyes on the bigger prize if you dont you will be stopped out early and miss the big profit you were aiming at.
So there you have it.

A simple, logical system, that can and will pile up huge profits in under an hour a day.
You won’t have to spend much time on this system and you won’t trade very often – but you will make a lot of money and that at the end of the day, is what forex trading is all about.

Forex Trading Tip - This Tip Can Increase Your Profits Instantly

I have taught or acted as broker for around 6,000 traders and from my experience, in my own trading and watching others, there is one simple tip you can incorporate in your Forex trading strategy which will increase your gains and here it is...

It based on the 80 - 20 rule which is used in many areas of life and in business for example the rule states 80% of your sales and profits, are likely to come from just 20% of your clients and in Forex it means this:

80% of your profits, are likely to come from just 20% of your trades and the fact is most traders' trade to much!

They make the following assumptions which are completely wrong and lose:

They want to trade the short term noise and try day trading and scalping - but as all volatility is random they lose.

Other traders want to be in the market all the time, in case they miss a move but you don't need to be in the market to spot a move, you can wait and see it then act and this puts the odds on your side.

Other traders simply think the more effort they put in and the more trades they make, will mean the market will reward them with profits - but this is simply not so.

In Forex trading, you don't get rewarded for effort, you get rewarded for being right with your trading signal and that's it.

An Easy Stress Free Way to Make Triple Digit Gains

I know traders who trade less than once a month and make triple digit profits, because they wait for the best opportunities and focus on making money - they dot work hard they know the way to make money is to work smart!

Look at any Fore chart and you will see big trends and these are the ones to lock into and hold, there is no point in trying to force the market to give you profits, Forex trading is simply not like that.

You need to have the patience to wait for the right opportunities and then hit them hard, when you see them; it's as simple as that.

So if you want to win on more trades, make bigger profits, in less time, with less stress - Think about the 80 - 20 rule and you can get on the road to currency trading success!

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk Exposure

Foreign exchange rate risk exposure is common to virtually all who conduct international business and/or trading. Buying and/or selling of goods or services denominated in foreign currencies can immediately expose you to foreign exchange rate risk.

If a firm price is quoted ahead of time for a contract using a foreign exchange rate that is deemed appropriate at the time the quote is given, the foreign exchange rate quote may not necessarily be appropriate at the time of the actual agreement or performance of the contract. Placing a foreign exchange hedge can help to manage this foreign exchange rate risk.

Declaration, Ex-dividend And Record Date Defined

Have the workings of dividends and dividend distributions mystified you too? Chances are it's not the concept of dividends that confuses you; the ex-dividend date and date of record are the tricky factors. In this article we'll sort through the dividend payment process and explain on what date the buyer of the stock gets to keep the dividend.

Before we explain how it all works, let's go over some of the basics to ensure we have the proper foundation to understand the more complex issues. Some investment terms are thrown around more often than Frisbees on a hot summer day, so it's important that we define exactly what we're talking about.

Different Types of Dividends
The decision to distribute a dividend is made by a company's board of directors. There is nothing requiring a company to pay a dividend, even if the company has paid dividends in the past. However, many investors view a steady dividend history as an important indicator of a good investment, so most companies are reluctant to reduce or stop their dividend payments. For more information on buying dividend paying stocks, see the articles How Dividends Work for Investors and The Importance of Dividends

Dividends can be paid in various different forms, but there are two major categories: cash and stock. The most popular are cash dividends. This is money paid to stockholders, normally out of the corporation's current earnings or accumulated profits.

For example, suppose you own 100 shares of Cory's Brewing Company. Cory has made record sales this year thanks to an unusually high demand for his unique peach flavored beer. The company therefore decides to share some of this good fortune with the stockholders and declares a dividend of $0.10 per share. This means that you will receive a check from Cory's Brewing Company for $10.00 ($0.10*100). In practice, companies that pay dividends usually do so on a regular basis of four times a year. A one-time dividend such as the one we just described is referred to as an extra dividend.

The stock dividend, the second most common dividend paying method, pays additional shares rather than cash. Suppose that Cory's Brewing Company wishes to issue a dividend but doesn't have the necessary cash available to pay everyone. He does, however, have enough Treasury stock to meet the requirements of the dividend payout. So instead of paying cash, Cory decides to issue a dividend of 0.05 new shares of CBC for every existing one. This means that you will receive five shares of CBC for every 100 shares that you own. If any fractional shares are left over, the dividend is paid as cash (because stocks can't trade fractionally).

Chinese Dairy in Milk Scandal Faces $160M Debt

Chinese dairy, declared bankrupt after tainted milk scandal, faces $160 million in debt

he dairy at the center of China's tainted milk scandal has about $160 million in debt, state media reported Thursday, a day after the company confirmed it was bankrupt.
Xinhua News Agency said Sanlu Group Co. faces 1.1 billion yuan ($160 million) of net debt and that a branch of the Shijiazhuang City Commercial Bank was the creditor that applied to a court to have Sanlu declared bankrupt.
The Intermediate People's Court of Shijiazhuang, a city in Hebei province where Sanlu is based, accepted the filing, Xinhua said.

The report quoted Wang Jianguo, city spokesman, as saying that as of Oct. 31, the company's total assets were valued at 1.56 billion yuan ($227 million) while its total debts were 1.76 billion yuan ($256 million), the report said.
Xinhua said Sanlu also owes a creditor 902 million yuan ($132 million) in funds it borrowed earlier this month to pay for the medical treatment of children sickened after drinking the company's infant formula, and for compensation of the babies' families.
Calls to the spokesman's office of Shijiazhuang city government rang unanswered while a bank clerk who answered the phone at the Shijiazhuang City Commercial Bank said the bank's director was unavailable for comment. Sanlu's officials could not be reached.

Sanlu, like a number of major Chinese dairies, had been exempt from government inspections because it was deemed to have superior quality controls -- until high levels of the industrial chemical melamine were found in its baby formula and other products in September.
Several more dairies were also found to have doctored their goods in a scandal that was blamed for killing six babies and sickening 294,000 children.

The dairy scandal highlighted the widespread practice of adding melamine, often used in manufacturing plastics, to watered-down milk to fool protein tests. Investigations also discovered it was being added to animal feed after finding melamine-spiked eggs.
Melamine poses little danger in small amounts but larger doses can cause kidney stones and renal failure.
