When you start out in Forex currency trading you will be faced with deciding which of the two main styles to use. Of course, you could combine both styles but there are only so many hours in the day, so it is likely that you will choose one or other of them.

We will explore the main elements of these Forex trading styles below.

Fundamental Forex trading

As a beginner, this is probably the least likely style that you will use. Fundamental trading is based on the examination of economic data. That said, you may indirectly use fundamentals as some of the data used is covered in the day to day news bulletins and in newspapers.

Fundamentalists analyze government reports, current events, news coverage, political events, changes in interest rates, GDP (Gross Domestic Product) changes, inflation predictions, retail price data, unemployment levels and any other factors that they consider important in currency fluctuations.

Is it true that true that you should limit any one trade to 2-5% of your forex account?


I’m going to check out some books from the library, but could any knowledgable investors shed some light? I don’t mean to be lazy but I have a lot of my mind + by helping one person it helps everybody. (Atleast those intested in trading.)

The name of the game in Forex is Capital Preservation. Let’s say that on Friday, you bought the Dollar against the Yen (USDJPY) in a standart $100k lot on 1% margin – that’s an investment of $1000 from your account. Here’s a chart: http://forex.tradingcharts.com/charts/index.php?sym=USDJPY&data=b&tz=GMT&type=b&cs=1&period=1h&defdates=1&bmonth=Mar&bday=9&byear=2007&bhour=13&bmin=25&emonth=Mar&eday=9&eyear=2007&ehour=13&emin=&Img+Type=png&drsi=0&ma1=0&dmacd=0&ma2=0&bol=0&dstoch=0&Submit=Submit
At 8:30am (EST) the US Unemployment numbers came out and the dollar rose to 118.2 Yen from 117.4 in less than 1 minute. It’s likely that price gapped and even if you had a stop in place, the best available price may have been well

I wanted to take the time to show you how to start a forex business. This isn’t quite as difficult as people make it out to be. Starting a business is actually quite easy if you know the proper steps. The first thing you need to do is make it official by registering a sole proprietorship or LLC with your government. This is how you get legal and than you can get down to the real work of investing. I’ll share a little about what I’ve learned setting up my a forex business and some of the obstacles I had to overcome.

Most forex traders tend to stick with the majors against the dollar when trading forex, but some of the lesser traded currencies can have as much if not bigger profit potential and here we will look at two of them, in which a simple buy and hold strategy could make 100% or more.
