This depends a little bit on your experience. To trade FOREX profitably and consistently a lot of mental and procedural practice is required. Some experienced traders have done this course and were able to have only profitable trades for a whole month straight away, others take longer. The average learning and settling-in period before consistent results appear in demo and live trading is 6 months.
I get stressed easily. Is trading for me?
To trade consistently and successfully on an emotional scale from -5 to +5 we want to maintain a level of 0 to +1 whilst trading. There are techniques aavailable to calm your mind and work in synergy with the proven FDIS Trading system. However, trading is not for everyone.
Do I have to stare at screens for hours on end?
No, the idea is to only look at the screens every 15 minutes after assessing the overall situation/ level for the pairs you are trading at the start of the day and consulting the economic calendar. Fewer high probability trades will increase your confidence and bank balance more than stressful frequent low probability guesses.
Will I get rich quick?
Despite what some people think or advertise, FOREX trading is not a get rich quick scheme. It takes dedication, practice and a methodical and disciplined approach.
What is a Pip?
A Pip is a price unit of measure (percentage in point, or price interest point) of currency pairs. Where there is only one digit before the comma, this equates to change in the 0.0001th decimal place. For Yen pairs this is a change in the 0.01th decimal place.
E.g. AUDUSD moves from 0.7650 to 0.7651 equals 1 pip move.
Why are FOREX currencies always quoted as pairs?
The value of one currency is related to that of another. Otherwise the single currency itself cannot have any change.
If we buy a currency (go ???long???), we buy the front currency and sell the back currency. The opposite applies for ???short??? trades.
E.g. we go ???long??? the AUDUSD, we buy the AUD and sell the USD (and profit when the AUD value increases compared to the USD)
If I choose the wrong trade direction, will I lose all my money?
We only enter with a position size appropriate for the amount of risk we are prepared to take. So for each trade we place, we work out the maximum risk, or dollar amount we are prepared to lose. For a trade in the wrong direction or with an inaccurate entry point, our maximum fixed stop loss takes this into consideration. Not allowing for slippage, our maximum loss is then the % risk we are prepared to take, e.g. 2% of the capital or as desired.
Can I only trade when the price is going up?
With FOREX, we can trade in both directions.
Buying with the expectation that the currency pair is going up is called going ???long???.
Selling with the expectation that the currency pair is going down is called going ???short???.
How does leverage work?
Most brokers offer a range of leverages from 50:1 to 500:1.
The amount you have in your account can than be leveraged for trades by the broker leverage??factor.
E.g. you have $2,000 in your account and your broker has 50:1 leverage available.
You can then place trades up to $2,000 x 50 = $100,000.
Please note, the higher the leverage, the more the trade is able to win and lose.
What is the spread?
Spread is the difference between the buying and selling price of the currency pair. The tighter (or smaller) the spread the less the pair has to move before the trader can be in profit. Conversely a large spread means the position does not have to move as far against the trader before the position??is stopped out.
Should I be trading when there is a major news release for maximum quick profit?
Major news events can and often do herald??volatility in the FOREX market. ??The FDIS trading system uses a fixed??stop loss, hence it is inadvisable to be in the market when ???High??? impact economic news releases are announced within a few hours for to be traded currency pairs. At the actual time of the news release the spreads frequently widen to such an extend that many traders with a tight stop-loss are taken out of the trade. The website myfxbook.com lists economic news releases on a calendar and should always be consulted every day before trading. Items to avoid trading initially include: Interest rate decisions, Non-farm-payrolls in the USA, BOE???s Governor Speech, FOMC Member Speeches, etc.
When is the FOREX market open?
The FOREX market is generally open Monday to Friday for 24 hours.
Am I limited to trading from only certain offices?
You can trade wherever you have Internet access. The FDIS trading system provides insight into the Asian, London and New York FOREX sessions. The best returns are usually made when the London and NY markets are active.
What is slippage?
Slippage is the difference between the nominated exit price (for both stop loss and take profit orders) and the actually executed price. When trading during ???High??? impact news events or times of low liquidity, slippage may be significant and adversely affect risk.
