Discovering How To Become A Successful Stock Trader

When I first starting trading, I didn't know what I was doing...much less about being a consistent and profitable trader. Needless to say, I didn't realize the pain I would go through to learn how to be successful. After having one of my worst days I remember being so angry with myself that I kicked the elevator door when I was leaving. The door opened and there was this old lady who looked mortified at the noise my foot had mad. It was a little embarrassing but I look back now and laugh. It was at that moment that I knew I needed help so I asked around to find out who was the most successful trader. All my life I have been successful by finding those who are and copy what they do. I was introduced to Ryan. It was then that I saw the difference between a winning trader and the others who didn't know what they were doing...because I was one of them. Ryan was named one of the top 30 traders under 30 in the first anniversary edition of "Trader Monthly" magazine. He was amazing to watch. He and his team would make money with their computers by pressing keys almost like magic. I immediately started spending as much time with Ryan and his trading group...learning everything I could. Each had their own talents. Doc was incredibly consistent and Jorge was a master at stock selection and chart formations. They were like a well oiled machine, constantly talking about trading ideas and thoughts on current positions. Some time went on and I started to string together positive days. Then my winning days got bigger.

Having access to a team of traders was the key to my success. I am working to create a service to stock traders who would like to learn this profession. You will be able to listen to a team of stock traders in real time during markets hours. This will help you get in to the mind of a successful trader so you can become one too.

I have always been fascinated with the financial markets. It's amazing to me that you can ente a trade and some time later (minutes or months); the stock is perceived to be more or less valuable. The trick is to be in high probability trades and on the right side of this market perception. No one will be right all the time. The key is to recognize when you are wrong and minimize your loss. I have always said that I am the best trader in the world when I am in a winner because the only thing left is where to start getting out of your position. It is vital to minimize your losses each trade and account drawdown is not your friend. This all comes down to discipline and sticking to your trading plan when you enter a trade. A fellow trader once said to me "Never walk in to a room where you don't know where the door is." No truer statement has ever been said. It is absolutely crucial that you maintain your capital reserves so that you can gain experience as you learn this profession. I have seen traders wipe through their savings in a week all because of lack of discipline or hope that things will turn around. The market does not care who you are, male or female, or how much money you have. It's taking you for a ride, whether you are right or wrong. Discipline should be your focus as you start learning this business.

There are different types of trading related to the amount of time you are in a trade. First, there is the scalper. The trader that is looking to make 10 cents quickly in seconds or minutes and doing this many times during the day. I have seen traders make thousands of dollars in seconds (myself included) with this style. It is a very active way of trading and you are continuously in and out of trades throughout the day. The second area is what I like to call the intraday position trader which I like to do. It is the trader that tries to establish a position and hold for as long as possible in an attempt to capture the entire move of a stock. Positions in this style are closed out before the market closes. This can prevent large after and pre-market moves in your stock. The next type of trader is the swing trader. This is trading where you are holding a position for days or even weeks. I believe this is where the real money is in stock trading. The last type of trader is the long term investor which holds positions for years. Our trading team focuses on the first three: scalping, intraday position, and swing trading. Whether you decide to use a trading platform for direct electronic access to the market, you will still receive a tremendous benefit from our service and be able to learn how to be in high probability trades...no matter how long you hold the position.

If you are going to use an on line platform for trading, you will need several things. First, I would subscribe to charting software so you can review the price action, volume and chart formations of different stocks. I prefer eSignal. Next, I would get a stock scanner service that helps you look for certain stocks that fit your trading criteria. I use two: Whisper and the Custom Stock Screening Wizard from Investors Business Daily. If you would only like one, go with the stock screen at Investors Business Daily. Lastly, I would also have a computer that you can dedicate to trading, one that you can rely on and is reasonably fast.

Investing in Forex

Investing in foreign currencies is a relatively new avenue of investing. There are considerably fewer people are aware of this market than there are people aware of several other avenues of investing.

Trading foreign currency, also known as forex, is the most lucrative investment market that exists. There are several factors that make this true among which, successful forex traders earn realistic profits of one hundred plus percent each month. Compared to some of the better known investment markets such as corporate stocks, this is an unheard of return on investment. It's very necessary to mention here that a person who invests in forex must, without exception, make it a point to learn the detailed, but simple strategies and information surrounding the market.

This very fact is what makes the difference between successful forex traders and other traders.A few additional points, which create such powerful leverage for investors within the forex market are: The amount of capital required to begin investing in the market is only three hundred dollars.

For the most part, any other investment market is going to demand thousands of dollars of the investor in the beginning. Also, the market offers opportunities to profit regardless what the direction of the market may be; In most commonly known markets investors sit and wait for the market to begin an up trend before entering a trade. Even then, investors, as a rule must sit and wait some more to be able to exit the trade with a nice profit.

Given that the forex market produces several up, down, and sideways trends in a single day, it can easily be seen that forex stands head and shoulders above other markets. Additionally there are trading strategies, which are taught that provide for compounded profits; these are profits on top of profits.

In addition, free demo accounts are available within the industry of forex trading, which facilitate the sharpening of skills without the risk losing any capital.And the advantage regarding the time factor in trading foreign currency is a very attractive point for any investor.

The Start Line Of The FOREX Tradeology

The foreign currency exchange market is available for people from all over the world. More and more people take their first steps in FOREX trading, contributing to its volume and making it viable and easy to use for the ordinary individual, in contrast to only a few years back when only pros, hedge funds, major banks and institutional traders used the FOREX market.The key explanation for this turn of events is the Internet which dramatically increased accessibility.

Almost all firms are now offering, free or in return for signing-up, easy to operate software for online FOREX trading.Traders’ essential goal in FOREX is to estimate which currency will increase in worth against a different currency, and so getting a hold of a method which helps you to foresee future movements can help you in gaining a nice fortune.

Realizing the fact that you are always trading by a ratio between two currencies should clarify the cause for seeing these letters arrangements: EUR/USD, USD/JPY, and GBP/USD etc.The five most important and highly popular currencies are the US Dollar, Japanese Yen, British Pound, Euro and Swiss Franc.

The FOREX market is open 24 hours a day; major firms keep brokers working shifts uninterruptedly so people from all over the world can trade always.This is attributable to the fact that nowadays most trades are carried out through company brokers.

Fear not, you can rest well at nights and even enjoy a day off every once and a while without being logged-on the FOREX market 24/7.

All you have to do is give your broker your “stop-loss” / “stop-orders” to buy or sell currency once they have reached a certain price, thus preventing major losses.The FOREX is considered to be a solid market.

Nothing like the stock market which is highly unstable, this market is friendly and easy to comprehend. Another plus is that it has high liquidity which grants you the prospects of getting your money in or out at any given time.

Be careful though, even when the FOREX seems like a playground to you, please seek your broker or another pro-trader’s counsel before getting involved in this market unless you have a lot of money to spend that you don’t really need.

The big boys of FOREX would not care too much about seeing you lose all your life savings.

Foreign Exchange for Professional Asset Managers

We offer a complete set of asset management tools within DealBook® 360 for professional asset (money) managers and proprietary forex traders. This version of our desktop trading platform is ideal for institutions, GFT referring parties as well as those who manage multiple accounts.

METHOD 1

This method allows an asset manager using our award-winning DealBook® 360 software to trade multiple accounts. Professional asset managers can switch between different accounts and place transactions on behalf of all accounts allocated to the professional asset manager.

Real-time position tracking, P&L and reporting are just some of the features at the disposal of the professional asset manager. This simple method is best suited for asset managers trading a small number of accounts or using different trading strategies across the whole group of accounts.

METHOD 2

This method of managing multiple accounts uses a lot-based allocation scheme that is self-defined by the professional asset manager. You can define all of your allocation rules without having to do it in the middle of trading, at any time. It not only offers the professional asset manager real-time position tracking, P&L, and reporting features, but it's also fully customizable so you can select your desired fx exposure for each customer prior to trading. You can also predetermine the different exposure levels for different accounts and design an allocation scheme (or schemes) before it's time to trade. This allows professional asset managers to focus on the current trade instead of having to succumb to administrative functions that can cause lost time prior to trading or order-execution. One simple interface allows you to trade on behalf of your customers, account by account, or by predetermining the allocation scheme you want to use. If needed, a combination of both can be used to create the right trading program for your customers.

METHOD 3

This method gives you the ability to create your own proprietary trading system using our world-class trading execution, dealing services and software all within one turnkey solution.If you operate an asset management firm or prop trading organization, you can take advantage of administering this setup for an entire group of forex accounts.There are five primary features of this professional asset management system. It supports multiple asset managers, notional account pooling, full risk exposure and margin arrangements, administrative functionality and percentage-based customer account allocation.Administrative and reporting functions of the software provide the asset allocator or proprietary trading firm with the ability to trade a virtual pool of funds through a notional system (without actually having to establish a pool of funds).Since the allocation percentage for each account is determined by the percentage of the notional account that each account represents, the administrator can easily facilitate risk-management and credit adjustment functions. The administrator can also monitor all asset managers' forex trading activities in real-time and all customer or client accounts simultaneously.In addition, real-time P&L monitoring and position tracking are allocated through the notional account at the end of each trading day for not only the prop forex traders, but also by the administrator to set up leveraging and scheme allocation. The asset allocator or prop forex trading firm can set credit lines for each asset manager or prop trader. The prop trader then trades through our proprietary forex trading platform, DealBook® 360, while also gaining access to our VIP dealing services.

Why Forex?: A World Of Opportunities

The foreign exchange market is the world’s largest financial market, but it wasn’t always accessible to any interested trader. Remember, forex trading is not conducted on a regulated exchange and as a result, there are additional risks associated with forex trading. In the past, access to foreign exchange of currencies was limited to banks, hedge funds, major currency dealers and the occasional high net-worth individual. But smaller financial institutions wanted to take advantage of the many benefits forex offered over other markets, including its tremendous liquidity, 24-hour access 5.5 days of the week and the strong trending nature of currency exchange rates.

It was this entrepreneurial vision of the smaller financial institutions and the evolution of the Internet that made forex accessible at a retail level. These institutions, including GFT, combined the accessibility of the Internet and fast and efficient proprietary software with accurate pricing, charting abilities, technical indicators and news feeds, which allowed any interested speculator open access to trade currencies. From 2002 to 2005 the practice of trading forex has grown threefold and this growth curve continues still. So read more about the benefits of using GFT and our access the world’s largest, fastest, most exhilarating market.
