Forex Made Easy is not always easy. Before we delve into figuring out this whole Forex business (and it is a business), I thought I’d share some simple yet important Forex Made Easy tips. I will be going back to this periodically because they’re important not just because you’re learning to trade 4x but because they are good sound principles to live by.

If you’ve been around at all, you’ve heard or read how the boat load of money you can make from FX Trading (or Forex Trading), so what are the rules and strategies and tips you can use to make money from 4X Trading? Below are the seven tidbits of wisdom for trading Forex that the team of Forex Made Easy concocted to help make you lots of USD, Euro, and Swiss Francs in this crazy and rewarding field.

Tip #1: Don’t get greedy.

Wow. This is too simple. When you’re on a hot winning streak, it’s easy to think you can’t lose. This is dangerous thinking. 4x Trading is easy but you can lose your shirt too. Be careful. Greed can deplete your account faster than you can say “that’s not what they taught me in that Forex Made Easy blog!” Greed can be devastating.

Forex Made Easy Tip #2:Get Educated

Who says you have to be a market genius to make money in Forex? The Forex Made Easy blog will help you with that. Any man, woman, and child can learn how to trade, and anyone can make money. You don’t need to spend tons of time getting educated either, but a trader with real world experience trading is invaluable.

Tip #3: The Best Proven Systems are Simple

This tip is perhaps the most difficult to conquer because we like tools and systems and programs and gadgets and indicators. The KISS method: Keep it Simple Stupid is still the best. The phrase is completely overused but it fits. Keep it simple: use a few indicators, and support and resistance. Don’t get too complicated. Simple trading “systems” are far more robust (and less confusing) than complicated ones. If you aren’t able to explain in a few sentences to a newcomer what the indicators are doing, then it’s too much.

Tip #4: Make sure you have Risk and Money Management Rules

This Forex Made Easy piece of advice is incredibly boring. Success in the FX market is built on risk management and money. Ten percent should be the maximum amount you risk on any one trade. Five percent or less is much better.

Tidbit #5: Discipline – Set Up a Basic Set of Rules and Stick to It.

No matter how good of a trader you think you are (and you’re probably not all that…sorry), you will pile up losses. Even after you search this Forex Made Easy site for nuggets of insight and wisdom, you will still need disciple. So, let me repeat that, you will have losses; you will lose occasionally. But you need to have discipline to ride out the losses and come back. Know YOUR rules. Stick to them. Keep your emotions in check when trading. Leave nothing up to your emotions. Write your instructions down and follow them. I can’t emphasize this point enough, because if you don’t follow what you created when there was no pressure at all, then you probably will lose money.

Tip #6: Have Fun

Trading the Forex markets can be rewarding and challenging. It can also be exciting. Don’t take your gains OR your losses so seriously. Don’t monitor the markets all day. Get outside. Relax. Spend time with your family. Watch a sunset. Play with your kids. The markets will always be there tomorrow.

Forex Made Easy Tip #7: Paper Trade Until You “Make Money”

Practice Practice Practice. There are software programs out there (and some that we at Forex Made Easy will recommend) to help you so that you won’t lose money quickly. You can test strategies, theories, and win a million dollars – all with no money changing hands! You need to do this.

We believe that anybody with even a little bit of courage and education can make money trading Forex. The effort you put in will be well rewarded. So don’t forget this rule: simplicity is best; stick with the plan you created for your own style. Simple, steady, and well-executed strategies will earn you a significant amount of money in the FX markets.

A professional whose job it is to connect people that are selling real estate to people who are in interested in purchasing a piece of real estate is called a real estate realtor. In addition to selling real estate, many realtors also deal with rental properties. In exchange for their services, realtors receive a commission at the end of every sale or rental that they complete.

Everything you need to know when a realtor is that when the property in question is sold, the only person who has to worry about paying real estate commission is a person who sells the property. If you use real estate to hold a lease, the demand for real estate that both sides pay a commission.

Most owners believe that the services of a real estate agent is money well spent. The first advantage of listing your home with an estate agent is to be listed quickly. A good real estate agent can get a list of your house on the market faster than you can ever.

The speed of listing is only one of the advantages to using a real estate agent. Real estate agents have a cast network of contacts and resources, something you cant get when you try selling your house on your own. Most real estate companies have websites that allow them to advertise your home to even more potential buyers.

Most home owners find that even considering the commission the real estate agent collects after the house sells is justified. After all, homes that are listed with a real estate agent usually sell for several thousand dollars more than homes that were sold privately by the home owner.

When you are trying to find a real estate agent to sell your house, you should spend some time observing how they handle their clients that are looking to purchase or rent. You will know that you are dealing with a truly professional real estate agent when the agent really listens to what their client is telling them, what things they will need and directs them to the properties that suit the needs of their client, even if the property is listed with another real estate agent. A truly professional real estate agent understands that the recommendation of a truly happy client is worth just as much as a sales commission.

Weekend Investment Reading – Selling Into the Rally

Amazing.  Just amazing.  The stock market is on track for the 8th straight week of gains and for those who are mostly long investors (pretty much everyone), it is great news.  I’ve been trimming my positions to get ready for a purchase of a home in the next 6-12 months, not to mention that when your portfolio takes a 60%+ leap, you take money off the table.

At this point, I’m 50% cash and I will be selling as it continues to rise.

Note that even though I’m generally selling my positions, I may still be buying different stocks in the meantime to try catching short term moves so it’s not all “sell sell sell”.
