Index Trading Round the Clock

No matter where you are in the world, there are markets open for trading at a time that suits you. Of particular interest to professional traders are index markets. Index markets, also called indices, are volatile big movers, yet most brokers offer tight spreads on them because of the high trading volumes being transacted when that specific index is open.

WHY are You Trading?

There are many reasons why people aspire to master the art of trading. For some, it is the appeal of financial freedom. Others may have grown tired of the daily grind and like the idea of being their own boss.  Whatever it is, it is important that your reason is compelling enough to help you stay focused as you learn and improve your trading skills. In this post, we discuss why it is important to know “WHY” you’re trading, and also look at some of the common “WHY”s shared by traders who have achieved lasting trading success.

A TRADING ADVANTAGE; Trading Leaders and Laggers

When we hear traders talk about leaders and laggers, it is usually in the context of trading equities. However, did you know leaders and laggers also exist in the forex markets?

In his latest article, Graeme Kennerley talks about such timing differences and shows you a real example he is stalking right now.

How Much Capital do You Really Need to Begin Trading?

In our experience working with thousands of traders worldwide, it is surprising how often we get asked this question! While we do not have a specific amount that works for everyone (it varies from trader to trader), it is interesting to delve deeper and look at the emotions in play that cause so many to be hung up on this one particular issue. You need to address these emotions before you can decide on the amount of capital suitable for you.

Trading Property vs Trading Currencies

Lay off the bricks and mortar people, it’s time to look seriously at why you should be trading foreign exchange instead. Kiwis have always had a love affair with property, but new measures introduced by the RBNZ last Wednesday will soon make it harder for property investors to trade property within the Auckland region. Take it from this “reformed” property investor that the days of easy money on property are over, and trading property is now a game best left to those with deep pockets.

So if your pockets aren’t as deep, what other options are there for you?
