Global Forex Trading: How To Manage Your Money
It is easy to demonstrate that money management in global forex trading is for more important then analysis. A total lack of money management would mean risking every thing on any one trade.
You might have the best analysis system in the world and 99 straight trades right but that 100 trade would wipe you out. On the other hand you might have the worst analysis system in the world. If so a proper money management system will reveal this fact while at the same time minimizing the risk to your capital.
So if you get 10 straight trades wrong you still lose only 10 of your capital! It is therefore immediately clear which is the more important.
Money management is what makes the analysis/system work not the other way around. Learning to trade in a demo account is necessary practicing is necessary but when you start to play the game for real everything changes if only because you start to hit emotional/psychological problems you never even dreamt existed.
These problems can be overcome but when you enter a new arena i.e. actually trading your new system/approach then you must minimize your risk indeed good traders minimize risk at all times. So you dont trade 10 lots you just trade one or you dont trade even 1 full lot you trade. 1 mini lot. And you keep trading just one until your actual results confirm that you should increase position size. demo account is necessary practicing is nenot the other way around. inimizing the risk to your capital.
.
At that point your area of risk new territory has become more quantified and you can move a head a more relaxed trader. It would then make you to increase position size in appropriate steps. If your system had some flaws then you do not lose all your capital and you also develop some discipline along the way. What do you stand to lose? Just a little time. If all goes according to plan you may well be trading at the size you originally wanted to just a few months later.
Heres a simple table risking 5 in a mini account with 400:1 margin:
1. If your account is 5000 trade using only 1 full lot your risk = 250
2. If your account is 4000 trade using only 8minilots your risk =200
3. If your account is 3000 trade using only 6minilots your risk =150
4. If your account is 2000 trade using only 4minilots your risk = 100
5. If your account is 1000 trade using only 2minilots your risk = 50
6. If your account is 500 or less trade using only 1minilots your risk = 25.
We highly recommend that you only trade 5 10 of your usage margin no matter how large your account is. Once you have become a successful proficient consistent trader then and only then should you risk 10 of your account on one trade and never more than that.

Marketing For Free And Putting A Few Dollars In Your Wallet
Have you ever contemplated working from “home” but think you can’t afford it?
Think again….
You can find programs that are Free to join and have no out of pocket cost….you just have to ask someone or do some research for the best one.
Worried about advertising/marketing costs? Don’t be……
You can advertise/market your “home” business opportunity for “free” and make a bit of change on the side.
Let’s discuss types of “Free” Advertising……
1. Safelists
2. Ezines
3. Classifieds
4. Craigslist
5. Backpage
6. Traffic Exchanges
7. Social Networking ie: MySpace Yuwie etc…
8. Youtube
9. Blogging
The number of places you can advertise for “free” is endless. Pull up Google and type in the type of advertising you want and there you go……
Moving on to how to make some “pocket change” while advertising/marketing……
PTR paid to read programs is another venue of advertising. Now while it is not exactly free……you can put your time in and then take a portion of your earnings such as points and redeem them for ads and keep the cash earned for payment into your payment processor when you have earned enough to cash out.
This will give you free advertising and some pocket change that you can use however you decide.
Some Traffic Exchanges that you surf pay members to surf x number of pages. It’s not a lot but it adds up after a while. And while you are surfing you are earning credit views to your program you are advertising/marketing.
Other Traffic Exchanges have random cash prizes given out while surfing. This adds up as well so long as you are patient and keep your mind aimed at getting traffic to your main business opportunity making the cash earned a little bonus.
There is a new safelist that has opened up that allows you to save your points from viewing sites and convert it to cash.
Depending on the time I have to spend on the above methods I bring in not only advertising to my business opportunity but I earn an extra 20 to 75 per month into my payment processor.
Working at Home is possible on a shoestring budget or even no advertising budget. I myself have been happy with the advertising results I get from the above methods and the extra cash I earn.
One thing it is time consuming so you must decide how badly you want to work from home before you jump into anything. If your time is limited and you don’t want to waste any of your time doing the above then marketing may not be for you.
