Besides, who wouldn’t want to trade in the largest and the most liquid market in the planet which involves all the countries in the world?

The Forex market operates 24 hours a day with currency exchanges that can go as high as 2 trillion dollars each trading day.

Also, it is the most liquid market in the world which also means that traders can enter the market anytime they want and get their profits easily.

In the past, Forex was limited to large financial institutions and multinational companies.

Only banks, central banks and large companies were allowed to participate in the Forex market.

However, thanks to modern communications technology and high speed internet and decreased sanctions in the Forex market, ordinary people can now trade and participate in the world’s largest financial market.

Because the Forex market is now open to everyone and because it is a very profitable industry, online

Forex brokerage firms began improving their services and accessibility.

They now also designed different trading platforms suitable for different Forex traders.

Not only has online Forex brokerage firms made their trading platforms accessible, they also began and still continuing to improve their software.

They also allow people to register with a Mini Forex account that can let them trade with a minimum margin of 100 dollars only or even less.

If you are interested in joining the Forex market, you only have to have a few things to get you started.

First, you need a computer with a high-speed internet connection.

The high-speed internet connection is very important for an effective trade to work.

It will also minimize the risk of slippages that can cause you to lose money.

So, if your area doesn’t have any high-speed internet connection available, you should forget about trading in the Forex market online.

This will only make you lose a lot of money.

Second, you need to choose which Forex brokerage company you should hire.

These companies will provide you with the Forex trading platform that you can easily download and install in your computer.

The Forex trading platform is simply a software program that is essential for an online Forex trader.

It is important for you to choose a trading platform that you are comfortable using.

You should also make sure that the trading platform you choose provides accurate and up to date real time information, security, and stability.

It is also recommended that the trading platform you choose should provide information on at least 16 currency pairs, execute orders with just a click of the mouse, have charting tools to perform technical analysis, and should also have a recording feature that will store your trading history.

With all these features, you can really improve the way you trade in the Forex market and also minimize the risk of losing money.

Look for a Forex trading platform that is simple to use and easy to understand.

If you wish to know more about the Forex trading platform that a Forex trading brokerage firm offers, you can consider opening a dummy or practice account.

By doing this, you will never risk real money on trades while learning the ropes.

You will also get hands on experience on the Forex trading platform and really determine if the platform is for you or not.

Risk management is also a very important feature that you should look for.

If it takes too long to select a risk management order, you should consider looking for another Forex trading platform.

These are some of the things you should look for in a Forex trading platform.

With a little practice in the dummy account, you can be sure that you can get the hang of it in no time at all and start making money through online Forex trading with a reliable Forex trading platform.

Challenges of Trading Forex in Nigeria – Part 2

Previously we highlighted the technological efforts put into the Forex Industry, which has made it more accessible, flexible, comfortable, and secured. It was noted that despite these technological efforts, there are some awkward bottlenecks that makes Forex Trading quite difficult in Nigeria. 


These challenges which will be revealed later in this chapter are the unknown major cause of frustration and sudden lack of interest, which leads to failure and early departure from Forex by most participants in Nigeria. Some of these challenges are man-made, while others are caused by the effects of our environment. I’ll be dealing more on the environmental challenges.


What are these challenges? How do they affect Forex Trading in Nigeria, and how can they be resolved? 

The identification of these challenges is the first solution.


Believe it or not, doing business in Nigeria is extremely difficult despite the palliative measures put in place by the Government. There are lots of factors affecting business success in Nigeria ranging from the hurdles of registration to shop setup, rents, government rates, double taxing, operating expenses, e.t.c. It’s been observed that a high number of registered businesses in CAC (Corporate Affairs Commission) are idle, and redundant because they faded away due to harsh business challenges in Nigeria. Most people opened shops with high aspirations and now those shops are closed because of these same challenges. These same challenges hampering the positive growth of business in Nigeria is also affecting Forex Trading in Nigeria. 

I’d like to categorize the prevalent challenges of Trading Forex in Nigeria under two categories namely; 

  • ENVIRONMENTAL and 
  • HUMAN challenges. 

I’ll be more specific about the environmental challenges because it has more prevalent effect on Forex Trading here in Nigeria.

Read more....

ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES 

This has to do with our physical environment (Climate, Beliefs, Economy, Government, Facilities, e.t.c.), and the laws that govern the environment. Every environment has its own challenge, not just Nigeria only. For example there are lots of controversies trailing the U.S Dodd- Frank Act and CFTC’s policy (http://www.cftc.gov/lawregulation/doddfrankact/dodd-frankfinalrules/index.htm), which somewhat restricts non registered brokers in the U.S. to accept U.S. citizens from opening offshore Forex Account and vice versa. Several trading policies affecting Forex Trading where reviewed by this same institutions, which didn’t go down well with most U.S Forex Traders and other non resident Forex Traders who have their accounts with brokers in USA. 



In some highly religious practicing countries, their Forex Trading Policies would definitely not be comfortable for Forex Traders who are not of the same faith or belief, and wishes to trade Forex in such regions (see sample of Islamic Trading Condition with Liquid Market)

So every country has its environmental challenges in terms of weather, beliefs, facilities, government regulations, e.t.c. 

Nigeria’s environmental challenges with regards to Forex is very unique, and quite different from what obtains in other parts of the world. A good number of Forex Traders in Nigeria fall victim to these challenges due to ignorance. I fell for it too, and this is the reason why i put up this article to reveal these hidden challenges based on my experience in Forex in order to help other fellow traders in Nigeria prepare for and against them. 

Now what are these challenges?

Challenges of Trading Forex in Nigeria - Part 1

Forex Trading simply involves the buying and selling of currencies to make gain or profits. In Nigeria it is fast expanding but a little bit uninteresting to most people.

Forex Trading is primarily carried out through an online electronic exchange handled by qualified banks and other accredited financial institutions. Initially Forex was a business meant for the super rich and huge financial institutions. This was so until retail Forex Trading evolved and enabled Forex to be delivered to the door step of every interested trader through the internet. The advent of highly improved financial technologies allowed seamless Forex transactions globally and easily with the touch of a button. 



This technological breakthrough was not limited to computers only as handheld devices now come with features that enables Forex Trading, which further enhanced remote and on-the-go Forex Trading anywhere anytime. Now you can sit right at your home in Lagos, Nigeria and place an order through your broker in London, which in turn transfers your order to the liquidity firm probably some few miles away and you get a response.
 



Lately the introduction of cloud systems into Forex has strengthened the capability of accessing forex services with minimal hardware and cost. Of course support systems are now better due to the latest cutting-edge communication systems, which is cheaper and flexible. Nearly all brokers have embraced these communication technologies in rendering support services to their clients. VPS systems, which allow hosting of Forex Account, EAs, and other Forex Services as the case may be, are being deployed increasingly by most brokers and Forex Servicing Firms.

However, despite these innovations, a larger percentage of Nigerians still experience serious challenges in trading Forex comfortably. While others who able to meet the requirements are faced with certain unavoidable challenges in our environment that makes Forex Trading uncomfortable. Unfortunately a higher percentage of Forex Traders in Nigeria who quit this business at an early stage are those who were ignorant of these challenges, and never prepared for it when they began to surface

However every challenge has its solution, but you must be aware of them before you can tackle them

Now the mind boggling question;  

1. Despite these innovations which has improved Online
    Forex Trading, why is it still difficult for an average 
    Nigerian to trade Forex comfortably 

2. Why do a lot of people quit at an early stage? 

3. What’s the way out? 

Got an answer to these questions? Or do you think otherwise? The house would appreciate your comments and suggestions. 

Watch out for Part 2 of this topic: Challenges of Trading Forex in Nigeria (Challenges Revealed).

Should You Use Automated Forex System

With the improvement of technology, many things are beginning to be automated. The same thing is already happening in the Forex market with Automated Forex Systems.


But before you jump right into the Forex bandwagon, shouldn't you know the reason why more people are trading Forex?

Why Forex trading?


This is probably one of the questions that you need a reasonable answer. There are hundreds of investments out there that you can prefer, but why go trading foreign currencies instead?

Forex investment is unique in various aspects.

* Its trading volume is relatively huge compared to other market.
* It has extreme liquidity or the capability of either buying or selling the currency without causing significant movement in the market price.
* It has the largest number and variety of traders.
* It is one of the markets that have long trading hours (24 hours each day, except during weekends.
* Trading locations are almost everywhere, not just in the United States or major cities of Europe.
* There are different factors that affect foreign exchange rate.

Another whooping fact that will make you excited to go on Forex trading: it has an average turnover in traditional foreign exchange market of around $4 trillion daily, according to the Triennial Central Bank Survey of the BIS (Bank for International Settlements).

Here are the daily averages of turnover on the Forex market for the last 17 years:

* $500 billion (April 1989)
* $750 billion (April 1992)
* $1.18 trillion (April 1995)
* $1.48 trillion (April 1998)
* $1.16 trillion (April 2001)
* $1.88 trillion (April 2004)

From the figures alone, you will notice that the average trend of Forex turnover is increasing.
It is estimated to reach as high as 2 to 3 trillion dollars within the next 8 to 10 years, if the number of traders around the world will continue to increase.

As a matter of fact, everyone have the chance of getting a substantial slice of the Forex market wealth pie, especially that the Forex trading marketing is now on its automation process.

The concept of automation becomes the new trend to the foreign exchange trading market.

The Interbank spot Forex market has also considered switching to the automated method as well.

There are several benefits that a Forex trader can derive from automated Forex trading.

Source: e-junkie.com


Here are some of such benefits and figure out why Forex trading as well as other investments (futures and commodities) prefer the automated process.
* Through automated process, transactions can now be done in real time. 

Although manual systems have existed for quite some time now, it is difficult to achieve such benefit that the automated Forex system can offer to its traders.

All of the trades can happen within a few milliseconds and can be a big plus for automated transactions against the manual system.

In fact, there are problems that are addressed using automated Forex trading especially if the trader is losing a few times in a row that prevents him from making new trades.

Such problem could be addressed using the automatic trading system.

* With automated Forex trading, you will have a greater diversification. 

It means that you can trade in various markets in different time zones at a time.

You can execute trades with traders from Singapore or London even it is already 12 midnight in the United States.

This benefit allows you a multiple exchange model option.

You can use varying trading models to evaluate short-term data.

This means that you will be able to predict the trend for a shorter period of time, let us say from fifteen minutes to half an hour.

* As previously mentioned, the Forex market is unique because of its extreme liquidity. 

This liquidity is increased when the market goes automated.

* Risk management problems are solved through automated Forex trading. 

International checks, which are commonly used in making purchases on Forex market, are synchronized through automated technology.

Since the transaction in an automated process is now on real time, there is a slim chance that the payments will be delayed, reducing the risk of non-payment by either parties.

Although there are problems noted with the use of the automated system, it can be fixed through consistently-updated technologies.

With automated Forex trading market, the prediction of $2-3 trillion average daily turnover within the nest 8 to 10 years can be changed within the next 4 to 5 years.

Given the quick yet efficient trades on varying time zones, automated Forex trading will now be among the existing lucrative business around the world.

Forex Trading: Double Your Account In A Year!


If you are interested in Forex trading, you may have been informed that forex trading is a high risk high return  type of investment.

You see, most expert traders out there will tell you that they are able to double their account balamce in one year's time.

Is that a high return?

Yes, if you compare it with a conventional type of investment like saving money in the bank.

In my country, a fixed deposit account usually provide just over 3% return in one year.

Compare to this, a 100% return in Forex would be masive.

Now, I am not saying that 100% return in a year is not good. But with the amount of risk that we put in forex, shouldn't the return be much higher?

Ask yourself this question.

For me, a good return in Forex would be doubling my account in every 2-3 months.

That is what i call high return. 

Sounds hard to believe?

Source: www.fxtips.weebly.com


In Forex, one can achieve a 100% return by just making 10 pips a day.

Yes, that is true, I attended a training before and the person giving the training said that.

Just think, if you make 20 pips a day, you will be making 400pips a month.

By using the leverage in the lot sizes, it won't be hard to calculate how much we can really earn.

The answer is simple because there is so much money to be made in Forex.

Simply increase your lot or contract sizes every week will allow you to grow your account like crazy.

All of this is only possible if you have a good trading strategy.

Without it,  everything will be useless.

It doesn't matter if you initial deposit is 100,000.

What matters most is your winning ratio. If you have a 80% win rate, you can turn $1000 to $1000000 in a year.


That is how powerful forex can be.

There are different important factors that traders should do in order for them to succeed. 

Remember, forex trading involves practice, reinforcement, and repetition. 

This process requires refined strategies and skills.

It is because the traders can rewind, pause, or fast forward whatever knowledge they have learned. A five-minute timeframe can be set-up to whatever chosen area. 

The traders can also get trade snapshots, use the indicators that they like, or keep journal trades to refine strategies.

Forex simulators are compared to PC games. 

The player has a mission to accomplish and repeating the games so many times can lead to perfection. 

The forex simulators also works this way, it requires a lot of practice, repetition, and reinforcement to be a good trader.

The traders are more prepared before they try opening a live account on forex trading. 

Forex simulators are serious tools for traders who wanted to learn how to trade before investing their real money on it.

Keep in mind that there are thousands of forex traders in the forex markets. 

So, how will the traders invest their money successfully if they don’t understand the basics? 

If forex simulators are clearly defined and practiced then a trader’s success is always possible. 

The first thing that traders should avoid is forex trading pitfalls so that they could really make money out of their investments.

- Forex simulators are helpful guides to forex traders so that they could successfully trade forex in the forex markets.

It teaches the traders on how to trade in pairs instead of currencies.

The traders learns the relationship of one currency from the other and its impacts.

Take note, the failure or success of trading forex depends on the right combination of currencies.

- The market conditions are also important when trading forex.

Forex stimulators help the traders in understanding the basics of forex trading markets to the best of the trader’s advantage.

It also updates the traders about economic events and news affecting the market conditions.

Most novice traders can be shocked by market fluctuation brought about by these phenomena.

So, they missed the opportunity to trade because they wait for the market to calm down before trading. Remember, the potential market condition lies in its volatility and not in tranquility.

- Traders also study the advantages of short-term and long-term trading.

They can obtain helpful techniques to gain profits by being an ambitious trader.

The bid and ask price should be understood well in making profits especially when making either a small or large trades.

- Forex stimulators enable the traders to weigh the effects of trading with too much caution.

The incremental profit on small scales does not make any difference. 

Placing stop losses that are too tight can increase the risks of trading failures.

- The traders can choose whether to become an independent trader or with an aid of a broker.

The risks are clearly explained as well as the outcome of trades.

In any way, the traders should analyze it by themselves or seek advice from different reputable sources to prevent committing trade mistakes.

Forex trading simulators can help the traders developed helpful strategies before starting their forex trading business. 
 
Simulated forex trading is worth it because it starts with a plan, proper knowledge, and skills to achieve success in trading forex.
