Very, very important..take the CHF or the recent Fed news..

Exotics? Man, the last time I tried trading exotics was four years back and never since then..sorry, no input on it at the moment from my end..

LOL, true 'dat..sad but true, the fact that hedging is more looked on as a way to get more pips in or as a way to maximize your profits..rather than as a way to minimize the risk..I guess each explanation is a valid one to an extent but what the newbies do not get, is that when you hedge, unless...

Sorry but I am with enivid on this one, I do hedge but more of an async hedge but not one for ten pairs definitely. Tht would be any traders version of hell; For newbies, not brand new ones but those who have been on the market say for the last few months, a counter trade can get you started...

For newbies, the best way to go live and trade safely is with a cent acc, quite a few brokers offer this..and as for the rest, risk along with good money management is the key. Know how much you are risking per trade, and never risk the whole account by opening ten lots at ten percent...

On an another topic, why is the aplari page still showing up online? Anyone?

Really sorry to hear about that..there is no reason why more women in your country should not trade..btw, which country is this? Can you let us know..just curious, thanks for sharing

To an extent, psychology kicks trader's "you know what"..the point is that we are all prone to distractions, lose focus, get stressed out, but when it comes to trading, psychology takes it up a notch further, and add emotion to the mix, and you would end up wiping your account clean in a single...

LOL, there are any number of great women traders, who seem to be doing quite well..check out myfxbook for a review of some really good women traders..

Let me put it this way: say you did the research and are betting it all on the eur usd and decide to go long with ten lots; you can hedge this accordingly, by setting up a few reverse orders, as and when the strategy and analysis indicates .. and as for trades that went wrong, in one word, swiss...

Spreads vary, depending on the quotes from the other traders, financial news, global cues and the demand..I could provide a long explanation but essentially, this is why spreads vary by the second.

LOL agreed and spot on, which is rarely used when it comes to market analysis, but as far as this one goes, right on the mark..

For those that still believe in robots, well unless you know how to tinker with third party codes, be able to tweak the robot to suit your strategy, you're not going to be able to do much with it.. And yea, we have all seen the snake oil pitch about how one can mint millions and NOT have to do...

Not to split hairs, capital management and risk management are two different things entirely - one is on how to manage your capital, ensure that you have enough funds in your account for all eventualities and the other, is managing your risk. When it comes to managing your risk, very few...

But that we already know..it would have been great had he put up a guide telling newbies how to trade more effectively. Most newbies do not use VPS, don't ask me why but they just don't..they are more into trying to avoid burning up that account. That is why a guide to help newbies trade more...

I use both regulated and unregulated brokers, and have been doing so for the last few years and nary an issue so far - tradersway and fxcm. I did use alpari but it went belly up and you know the rest..
