Many of us have seen our nest egg shrivel up and go away as a result of the problems that we are experiencing in the market recently. For that reason, many people have become interested in trading on forex, because of the way it is different from the other markets. Every trade that is made on the Forex market is going to have somebody that comes out on top and somebody that loses. It is what is known as a zero-sum market and if you're able to come out on top more often than not, you can make a considerable amount of money.
Finding your success on the Forex market can come in many different forms but one of the easiest ways for you to do it is by employing some of the Forex systems that are available. Because these cover a lot of different subjects and can help you in different ways, we put together a list of the three top types of Forex systems that are available and what they can do for you. We also thought we would tell you about some things to avoid.
The most popular of the Forex systems and the most plentiful that are available to help you to be able to tell which way the Forex market is going to move during the day. Most of these typically take a few minutes for you to run in the morning and they do a relatively good job of giving you some direction to go. You need to keep in mind, however, that trading on Forex is rather a volatile type of system so do not put all of your faith in these whenever something is moving. Some of them are also not any good, so make sure you look at reviews ahead of time.
You might be interested in upgrading to more of a semi automated system that will not only help you to gauge which direction the Forex market is going to move, they could take care of some of the trading for you. Most of these systems allow you to turn these functions on and off according to your comfort level. Being able to identify trends and then act on them automatically makes these types of tools a good idea.
There are also Forex systems which are fully automated and take care of every aspect of trading for you. Although there are are not a lot of these that are in existence, there are quite a few and we have reviewed about a dozen of them. Some of them work quite well and many people that are using them experience consistent results that keep them in the positive. There are also some that do not work and will suck your account dry rather quickly. This is another area where you need to make sure you are doing some research in advance.
If I can get one thing across to you, it would be that you should never put your full faith in any type of Forex system that you're going to be using. They are simply tools and if used properly, they can help you to build up a portfolio in the Forex market rather quickly. I would never suggest that you allow something to run with your money, however, unless you are keeping a close look over its shoulder.

New Forex Day Trading Discovery Update
Last Autumn, in the midst of a late-night Forex trading research session, one of the industry's most respected Forex educators made a Forex day trading discovery which he shared with a close group of traders.
Just, six months on... re-emerging from a marathon follow-up research session where he analyzed the fantastic results the initial group of traders got... And discovered 3 variations to make them even BETTER.
From everything I've seen, no one is currency trading like this, yet! Of course, this totally turns conventional "day trading" on its ear. He made a new training video just this past weekend which brings this updated discovery into the light & reveals how you can guard your accounts from risk every single time you trade. Especially if you're inexperienced & have limited time.
During his research, he's confirmed what many have suspected for a long time.
* The collapse of the global stock markets and economies has created pressures that, in turn, result in more potential profit than we've ever before witnessed in the currency markets. this may come as a revelation, especially to those new to trading... but it is all explained in his training video why this is happening, and how you can profit from it.
Also Covered
* How you can literally TRIPLE your potential profit exploiting a little known trick using the predominant trend.
* 2 Retracement Tricks most traders flat-out MISS, and when you know how to spot them, can turn an otherwise losing trade into a profit powerhouse.
* The massive "edge" you get over other traders by automatically identifying the predominant trend at any point in time... and to then "throw yourself in front of it"...
* The #1 key to Forex trading you MUST do EACH and EVERY TIME before you opening a trade before you even think about profit. When you do this, you instantly "up the odds" that a profit will result...
* ...and a TON more.
If you're interested in currency trading, or have been a little "spooked" by what's been going on with the markets, then this likely be the most important trading video you'll ever see this year. Why is that? Because after you watch it, you'll be scrambling to get started with this way of Forex trading. It finally brings flexibility and customization to Forex day trading so that anyone can have an "edge", whether you only have 20 minutes to trade, or all day. The choice is yours.
Of course this Forex video is by none other than Bill Poulos. This is a taste of what to expect in the new Forex Income Engine sequel. That's right Bill Poulos has upped the ant. Not to be content with producing the best Forex trading course last year, in my opinion. He come out with even more profit pulling methods and advice.

Forex For Newbies - An Alternative Introduction to Forex
There's probably a book called "Forex for Newbies" by now. Yet only 5 per cent of people, at most, make regular profits from Forex. The rest lose all their money, usually within about 3 months.
There are growing numbers of people who make a great deal of money from trading the financial markets, but, as I mention later in this article, they don't very often touch forex.
Here is a quick rundown of how the forex market works in practice. Our new trader has read a lot of exciting web pages telling him that it's easy to earn money with forex, provided that he uses their particular method, or takes the advice of their particular brokerage. If he doesn't, so he's told, he'll join the 95 per cent of people who fail.
He's bought a typical course or ebook on forex for around $97 and that has taught him several "secrets" and a method of making surefire profits with ease. He's excited and eager to start, so he signs up with a forex broker and opens his account with, let's say, $5,000. Hopefully it's spare money that he has, so if he loses it he can still carry on with his life in much the same way as before.
He follows advice to first open a "demo" account, where he can trade on real price data but without risking real money, until he feels he is ready to trade for real.
For a couple of weeks, he spends several hours a day watching the price fluctuations of several currency pairs on his charts, and checking the indicators. If he profited in his demo account he figures he may as well make real money rather then only make-believe money, and if he has made losses he figures that once he starts trading for real then things will be different.
His broker, of course, knows this is probably how he will think, because he's been in this game for years. Demo accounts, to him, are the bait with which to catch his victims.
Our new trader now, using real money, trades with a great deal more care than he did with the demo account. He checks the indicators very carefully, keeps a written record of all his trades, aims for only a modest 10 or 15 points profit at a time, and after a couple of weeks has lost a few hundred dollars.
But he feels he is getting the hang of it, because so many of his decisions as to whether the price with go up or go down have been right. It's just that the price has been so volatile that, even though it has gone in the direction he forecast, it has in the meantime gone so far in the opposite direction that it has stopped him out.
So he increases his stop level. He was using 20 point stops, and now he increases this to 40 point stops. This seems to work for a while, and he has three or four winning trades. Then he is stopped out a couple of times and he is worse off than before he increased his stop level.
He goes back to his course, re-reads the important parts, and tries again. He studies his currency trading charts and sees a bottom approaching in the currency pair he has been following. The market just has to go up soon. The temptation to increase his bet value from $1 to $3 is overwhelming. If this comes off he can recover all his losses in one shot. As soon as the price has started to increase, he buys.
We know what happens next. He becomes another of the 95 per cent who fail. He can't even get a refund of his course fee on account of his departure from the advice given not to risk too much on any one trade.
You see, the forex market is rather like a ponzi scheme. It doesn't create wealth, but simply moves it from one group of traders to another. The ability of the very few private traders who make large amounts of money is dependent on there being a regular influx of new traders who have only a sketchy idea of what they are doing and who can therefore be relied on to lose all their money within a short time.
If making large profits every day in forex was as easy as it's so often made out to be then far more people would be doing it. But there are people who make consistent, and in many cases large, profits from the financial markets. The forex market, though, is one they mostly stay away from.
Markets such as stocks, bonds, indices and commodities may not have the glitz and glamor of forex, but are in fact far easier to trade for profit. And there are one or two traders in these markets who are willing to teach you to do the same. You just have to find them.

So, back testing is okay but the so called expert advisers are often not able to react on sudden out of the system market reacts. You can not do all your trading in the mathematical way. Experience and a knowledge base is necessary to understand why the bot made some loses and why he made some big profits.
These issues are there and so the trader himself has to do something to keep his bank roll positive. You can only profit from robots when you know the Forex basics and the fundamental trading strategies. Without the right strategy it will become very hard to earn a substantial income and maybe quit your day job or buying your new ferrari.

There is nothing wrong with their back testing results but they are claiming that you do not need to modify something. Just leave the software alone and the money will come. That is simply wrong. Some advisers are offering a members forum to help you getting started.

Recent Trends and Fluctuations in the Price of Gold
Currencies and other valuables are going down in worth but gold has always shown an appreciation with respect to worth. It is normally believed that value of dollar increases when gold's value decreases. Generally observing the market, we can conclude the same result. It seems as if both the powers are reciprocal to each other. However, it is also shown that of price of gold has not a very strong influence over dollar rates. On observing gold dollar index we can see the fluctuation in the price of gold. This index is calculated in such a way that the currency fluctuation does not influence the gold trends.
This index shows that gold can be traded as strong and as weak asset too. On looking at the index, experts say that when dollars strengthen ups, value of gold goes down but these are not the reciprocal moves. It has been observed that it moves side ways trying to oppose the trends of dollars movement. This also indicates a cheerful trend of gold irrespective of dollars trend.
One more gold trend indicator is Central Gold Trust (GTU). By following the actual or the discount rates the trend of gold whether it is bullish or bearish can be observed. Because of high demand of Central Gold Trust people are willing to pay high premium that is as high as 25%. This does not make much sense as you can buy gold even without paying any premium. This shows another trend of gold that is actually resisting the trend of powerful dollar.
Though many TV commercials are directing the world towards high value of gold even in future but one can not be confident about this trend. You can not guarantee the rise in its value. No doubt it is a very attractive metal and a valuable asset for almost everyone but after looking at the charts made by professionals we should be ready for a decline, though it seems unlikely to happen.
Somehow strength of dollar adversely affects the gold's worth. But it is just a currency. It can not remain ultimate for ages the way gold can. After economical recession that has affected US a lot, people are a bit confused regarding investing in gold. This nervousness is the result of many factors. One major factor is devaluation of dollar as compared to other big currencies of the world.
People are not sure about gold investment due to banks' failure. But then there is rise in energy cost that has made transportation and many other things very difficult for people, they think that gold is comparatively safer than other modes of investments. It seems more stable for those who can see the economy of the world crashing down. Gold can still be the commodity that can be used for exchanging and trading in the future.
People who are buying gold with confidence can not fore see the devaluation of gold in the long run. The long run can portray a different picture if inflation and sheer market loss comes under control.
