Many HYIPs state that they make their returns, either partially or fully by investing in Forex. While we all know most HYIPs are ponzis, I'm sure there are some legit ones out there which really do invest in Forex and make their returns by trading. I'd like to get your opinion on this, what percentage of HYIPs which claim to invest in Forex actually do ?? And of those which do, is there a better chance of a long term, stable HYIP when truly investing or is the chance of the admin losing the funds quickly even greater ??

when i lose against the trend of the market, the negative value increases with speed but when i gain with the trend, for over three hours, it will only be abt 12-15pips. so...which is the hyip? is it the brokers or the trade?

I think that you are dramatically misusing the word "hyip" here but, anyway, if you gain with the trend you don't earn just 12-15 pips and if you do then that's not a trend at all.

A long term, stable HYIP is a contradiction. The whole idea behind HYIP is high risk, and "risk" is not friends with "long-term" or with "stable".

Forex is the perfect vehicle for HYIPs because of the high degree of leverage and low degree of regulatory oversight. I often hear that forex is risky, but it is only as risky as you choose to make it. No one is forcing 50:1 leverage down your throat. If you choose to take on high risk, then you have to be prepared for the likely consequence. It's like saying that driving is risky. Well it is, if you are tripling the speed limit while smoking a crack pipe on a snowy day. That is the equivalent of high leverage. You might get there, and if you do you'll get there fast and in a great mood. But chances are you'll wrap yourself around a pole and die. Is the reward worth the risk? Only you can tell.

Well there are HYIPs which can be defined as long term or stable because they are simply more stable than the majority or last longer than the majority.

HYIP cannot be compared with Forex.

HYIP is the worst form of gambling you could take...Nothing is in your hand...

The pyramid owner could just closed down the website whenever he wants and you lose all your money...

yes absolutely, I also think HYIPs will disappear soon enough, Forex trading is growing in popularity very quickly as a way to invest.

I don't see anything in common between forex and hypes. On forex a lot depends on traders, on their knowledge, strategies. On hypes nothing depends on you yourself, only depend on luck and the honesty of the admin.

Brokers make their money by charging spreads. If you select a regulated, established broker, then you are almost safe from being ripped off by the broker. If you lose all the time, it means you didn't do your home-work.
HYIP are born-scams. You'll make some money only if you are 100% lucky, and your admin is 100% honest.

Nah, you only have to catch a moment when the HYIP just opened and make some small deposit for a short period of time. Also I'd recommend to not keep all eggs in one basket.

Frankly, I have no experience on HYIP; Forex is the only one profession that I am involved with! Interesting point is, I get enough financial freedom here so I never tried others online profession, even I am not interested in Options trading.

Forex trading is good as compared to options or hyip sites and those who willing to put money in the later options, i guess they better find some casino and wager their money.

I think, following the market trend is the best practice! Trading against the market trend is always (most of the time) costly.
