Top 7 Things A Trader Must Know

By George Kramer

Forex traders have to know these 7 things before they can start trading:

1) Don't Trade With Indicators - All they are doing is taking up space. Find out how to trade with price movement, and you'll have a better idea of how to trade the market.

2) Understand money management - you could have the greatest trading system in the world, but it wouldn't mean much if your constantly over leveraging your account. Remember, it's a marathon, not a race. You won't be a millionaire overnight, so there is no reason to risk that much.

3) Don't rely on demo trading for too long - The normal tendency is to trade on demos on until you feel comfortable trading. The problem is that people just abuse the demos. They trade for so long without any kind of risk that they just can't handle when they trade with real money.

4) Control your emotions - Nothing can destroy an account faster than emotions. If every single trade causes anxiety. You have to learn to relax and take a deep breath. You won't make it far in trading, if you're constantly having panic attacks.

5) Start with Mini Accounts -Don't start off playing full lots, because I can assure you that you are not prepared for it. Trade with money that you can afford to lose, before you start trading for big bucks.

6) Don't trade with more than 200:1 margin - Margin is the livelihood of any forex account. Anything over 200:1 can destroy an account quickly.

7) Be Prepared When The News Comes Out - Find out what kind of news most market analysts are expecting, and see if the actual meet or exceed analyst expectations. That's the bread and butter of news trading.

Advertising your website with one way links

By reklicom

Another way of getting one way links is doing manual article submissions. This process should be done in the same slow motion as directory submissions. The submission process should be spread over a longer period of time in order to get that natural aspect that search engines like a lot.

Once youve managed to build your own website you are facing a huge dilemma: how to get your site indexed by search engines and how to get those one way links so valuable for SE. One important way of getting one way links to your site is doing slow manual directory submissions.

There are a lot of debates regarding article submissions. Rumors say that listing the same article to more directories, that may be duplicate content and search engines dont like that. However, nobody seems to have felt such a penalty and no one knows for sure if that really exists.

One things for sure - search engines will only return the article that is on the most relevant site, the rest of all those articles you submitted get tossed into the duplicate content filter - never to be seen by search engine users.

Despite customer resistance, eventually the message will get through that submission is not necessary. Search engines use directories to check the value of websites, remember directories are human edited and these directories add check for the search engines, one of the most popular directories that most search engines check with is dmoz. Submitting to directories is overlooked because it is so time consuming and it has to be done manually to be done right, but it is a great search engine optimization strategy.

Many sites are rejected due to inappropriate descriptions. The description is the most difficult item to define correctly. One way to get help for an accurate description is to ask friends to view your website or ask people from forums to view your site. A description is not an advertisement and should never contain superlatives or excessive marketing hype. When writing your description you are not writing it to sell your product you need to write it showing the benefit of your product, no hard sell in the description.

And you do not need to be an expert to write articles, you just have to put some value in your article, to interest the readers, and there you have it, you have their attention, they believe you, and they will trust you when you tell them how to fix their problem, or give them great advice.

The reasons for this are simple, submitting to directories is long monotonous process, it is easier to pay a flat rate and have someone else do it for you. When choosing the service make sure you can enter more than one title, description, categories and keywords. The reason for this is that you want to rotate the title and description among the directories. Make sure you receive a submission report and snapshots of the submissions. If you don't receive emails from the directory owners this is a good indication that your site is not really being submitted.

Benefits of Equipment Leasing

By Guy Phillips

The overall cost of buying and using your own equipment in the office, at home or even on the road can cost you more than money. By the time you figure out what products are best, what youre most likely to need and use all the while keeping up with your clients demands, youve probably lost more business than youve earned. Business today is about change"essentially, you can change the fastest with the times and keep up with market demands with better equipment. Leasing equipment makes sense in business for the short and long term.

First and foremost, the most important benefits to leasing rather than owning your equipment is cash; lets face it, the more cash you can put to advertising, the better. The more money you dont waste in owning your equipment can be directly put back into the business, so you can reach more people. When money is fully paid for equipment"printing equipment, for example"that money is given to another business and is lost entirely to you"the money can never be put back into your own business. Rather than make a (perhaps) bad investment, put the money into true investments that will pay off in the long haul; your own company, surely, could use more working capital or more money for advertising and trips.

Additionally, you wont need the money upfront to lease the equipment you want and need. A small initial start up investment, say $3,000-$4,000 dollars, can get you started and your business jumping. The leftover money could undoubtedly help your business grow and move forward. Plus, the monthly costs for leasing the equipment is generally lower than bank loan payments. All around, you save more greenbacks.

Once the equipment you use becomes obsolete, then what? When you lease the equipment rather than own it, youll be able to upgrade to newer equipment at a fraction of the costs once your lease expires. Rather than take on the millstone yourself, pass it on to someone else. This sort of lease becomes thrice as important if you plant to buy (or lease) equipment that is soon to be outdated. Computers, palm pilots, hand computers, laptops, printers and projectors are just a few of the expenses that you can slash by leasing. In a year or two, youll have new equipment on the way for the same amount of cash. You know the amount your spending, and where youre spending it, over a longer period of time. The allocation of funds is thus predetermined, set and exact.

A maxim says that the things you own will eventually start to own you. That is, when you lease equipment, you save money in the long haul by never having to worry about your stuff breaking down. If it does, its often fixed or replaced for free. When you pay for the usage and not the ownership of your equipment, you are essentially a maintenance-free business. Plus, youre only paying for what you use over time. If you use a computer for a year, for example, you can easily upgrade (needed, mind you) within a year. Obtaining finance at the bank these days should turn you off to the idea of owning anything in the first place. Your leasing arrangement can often be a sealed deal in less than a business day, and the time constraints are flexible enough to keep you running strong.

When you lease rather than own the equipment you use for and in your business, your immediately creating revenue. You are using equipment that you didnt pay for to make you money, essentially. Moreover, your monthly payments to the leasing company are set and known. There are no surprise fees, save for the processing fee of starting up with any company. If you consider the equipment leasing company as your partner, then youll see that they are actually helping you make money. Over time, leasing saves money for both the large and small business. As Benjamin Franklin once said, A penny saved is a penny earned. Thats always true!
