How to trade with logical forex forecasts?
Filed Under Forex | Leave a Comment
Forex is a huge minefield. Within minutes it can reverse your emotions if you do not treat it solemnly. For every speculation, there has to bone a hedging. For every market uproar, there has to be a correction. For each demand/supply imbalance, there has to be a sufferer somewhere. Taking these ideas further, we can see that forex is made up of logic and demand/supply imbalance which again is the logical derivative of falling and rising currency prices.
Unlike stock markets that can also run on market sentiment at times, forex solely relies on logical price indexing.
Let’s take an instance of logical forex trading. While you are doing well with a currency in scalp trading, should not look to come out just because you have made enough money. Keep going till you feel the currency is stable and strong. Similarly, if you lose, do not hesitate to come out of the trade assuming that the currency will reverse and give you back your losses, you might end up losing more with this illogical mindset.

Difference between forex trading and stock trading
Filed Under Forex, Stocks & Trading | 11 Comments
Stock trading ruled the roost till forex trading arrived. Stock trading is practiced over a centralized exchange. Forex trading is performed over both centralized and decentralized exchanges. Both have high volumes but forex trading has today developed into a 300 trillion dollar daily industry.
Stocks plummet or rise a higher percentage of their holding in comparison to currencies. Currencies rarely pass the 1 percent bar whereas stocks can rise or fall as much as 20 percent even naturally without breaking the individual circuit. This is why forex brokers give large leverage spread of as much as 500:1 whereas stocks have margin money of hardly 15:1. Forex traders rely far more heavily on forex robots than stock traders. These are automated programs that place pips without human interference.
Stock trading can be accomplished for a single stock; for instance, Wal-Mart. Forex trading is done for a currency pair; for instance, EUR/USD, you cannot enter a forex trade without a currency pair.
