Forex Market- Make Money in Choppy Markets

By forex Market

The Forex Markets do not create clear trend lines all the time. Quiet often we will experience very volatile markets and the prices can move dramatically up and down. Sometimes they can start to trend then also of sudden make a strange upward or downward movement which will trigger your stop loss and stop you out of the trade.

So How can we trade this sort of Forex Marketand make money?

1. Don't expect a long swing plan or any sustained price movements if you are already in an open position, get some profits out when you have made some from the forex market or shift it to the breakeven price as soon as possible. This will reduce the risk of losing that position.

2. When you need to trade in these conditions trade the currencies pairs that are highly correlated. So we are talking about the top 6 currencies pairs.

3. It can be also useful to use some level of Fundamental analysis such as referring to the calendar of economic announcements every now and then in forex trading. Sometimes a choppy market occurs when there is two or more economic data releasing at the same time or within a few hours. A particular news may trigger an up movement while the other one may trigger a down. Therefore it is a bad time to trade forex as you do not know exactly where the forex market is moving.

4. Sometimes when the forex trading market is choppy, it forms range-trading channels, which sets one up for a breakout. If there's is no indication on which direction the market is moving, forex trader may go long when it's at the bottom range, and short when it is at the top range. This may earn you some pips, but again, it is better to wait for price to break out from the range-trading channels so that ideally you will be able to catch the breakout trend. This is why is why it is important to have a great forex broker too as they can help you with trading ideas.

By forexerror

When we are trading we will all from time to time make a mistake when forex trading and it is normal and sometimes can be looked upon as healthy, so as to know that the decisions will either make or break you. However, if this becomes severe to a point wherein you lose more than you can afford to, then you would have to take measures in order to avoid further damage. This is why when you are trading you must make sure that you only trade within your limits. If you can't afford to lose it, don't trade.

When trading you must make sure that you keep your emotions in tact, do not let them take over. If you let your emotions take over the result is more than likely to cause even more rash decisions and can cloud your strategies, producing even more disastrous results. You should aim for more positive months with good turnovers but face it; there are some periods wherein gain is not achievable.

Before trading you should make sure that you have a plan and part of that plan is to employ a money management technique; in case is where you went wrong the first time. You should always consider what your losses are going to be. Since most traders would tend to gamble as opposed to trade, instead of making a calculated risk, their bank accounts would be drained each time there is a loss. They don't have a great capital management system which causes damaging effects. By managing the amount that you can afford to lose in thinking of all possibilities, you can be assured that you do not get bankrupt with forex.

Each trader has their own attitude towards forex trading and what risks they are personally prepared to take, but learning about the inherent principles can go a long way in helping you develop your own style and making you more successful in the long run .

Family Time- With What Time?

By Laurice F Egerton

No one can argue that there is a lot wrong with our society today. Crime is rising, education is declining, income is generally down and debt is up, drug abuse and addictions of all sorts are rampant. As a whole, we have more things, and yet we are more unhappy and lonely than ever.

There is a case to be made for the cause of all of this being the breakdown of the family unit. As one who has come from divorced parents, swore she would never do that to her own children and gone through it herself I am not preaching. I can, however look back with the 20/20 hindsight vision and see what went wrong without blame, just as an observer.

Without going into all of my unpleasant personal details I will just say that the bottom line was family relationships. If a child grows up in a family that knows each other-and I mean really knows, meaning has significant conversations with them daily, that child feels secure. Sure most of us love our family members. But do we like them? Do we understand why they act the way they do? Do we know what makes them happy? Do we know what keeps them up at night? Do we know the kind of people they hang out with? Sadly, I would dare say rarely.

A child who grows up in a family who sends them to a sitter everyday will statistically speaking spend more time with that sitter than his own parents. After a child enters school, he will spend more time in school than with his family. And then at home how is that precious time spent? On the TV, video games, texting, doing homework?

A child from birth all the way through adolescence needs to feel secure, loved, needed, valued and understood. I dont see how this can happen in the typical family of our time. So many psychology studies and statistics show that if a child does not get those basic needs such as structure, discipline, attention and love in a way they can feel and understand it, they will continue to search for it throughout life. This may mean through drugs, sex, friends who dont have their best interests at heart, etc.

Im not even going to get into all of the repercussions of having parents who are addicts or abusive here! I will just state that they probably became that way because of the hurt they felt throughout childhood and havent resolved.

So, with this in mind, what is the cause of the lack of family closeness and what can we do about it? Blaming our parents the trend of the 90s sure hasnt accomplished much. I like to quote Ghandi Be the change you want to see in the world Stop blaming even yourself and start changing. Changing YOU.

I know what youre thinking. How can I spend more quality time with my kids when all I can do is work to provide them with the things they need? Work, exercise, carpool, friends, work, kids activities, shopping, cleaning, the list goes on. I know!

First- You may not realize that it doesnt take a lot of time to make a child feel really heard and valued. Even if you cant make them your center of attention for hours a day, when they are your center of attention, make eye contact and really listen.

Second- Do something THEY enjoy if even for a few minutes.

Third- Make sure that you dont project your guilt about not having enough time on them. Meaning, dont huff or sound exasperated or exhausted at a request for your time or attention. Just calmly explain why you cant be available. Perhaps telling them that you wish you could, but you are trying really hard to earn enough money for that weekend away with them, or that toy they want, or just to pay the bills would help.

Fourth- If you are in a dead-end job that makes you miserable and robs you of your family time consider other options! We are in a new age here. A college diploma is great for your mind, but not so great for your pocket-book. The internet and information age give us so many options. You CAN find one that works for you. Find a job you love that allows you the time you desire with your family and the income to enjoy them. It is possible.

Fifth-plan your time with your family. Put it in your calendar. Just the fact that you consider time with your child or spouse important enough to prioritize will be a huge step in making them feel loved.

So, the bottom line is quality time. Its been said many times before. So, why havent things changed? I cant speak for you. Only you know what you can do and how you can do it in your life situation. But you can, and it will make a difference to your family and future generations. Think about it, and smile.
