A Traders Mission And Goal
It is the mission of the trader to become a financially successful long-term
trader. This can be achieved when the trader adopts and accepts The 10 Keys
of Successful Trading . The trader must commit to live by the three disciplines
that create the successful trader.
1. The trader must believe in The 10 Keys to Successful
Trading and merge them into his personality. His
success is dependent on creating a trading plan, and
maintaining the discipline to TRADE THE PLAN!
2. The trader must commit himself to continued education
and learn as much as he can about technical analysis and
the psychology of successful trading. He must use logic,
and not his emotions, in trading. The trader must learn to
trade in control, not out of control!
3. The trader must map out a sound plan of equity
management to insure a return on his investment. A
successful plan is to trade no more than 20% of a margin
account and risk no more than 5 to 10% of that account on
any single trade.
Levels Of A Trader
LEVEL ONE: Beginner Trader - To study and paper trade for a

LEVEL TWO: Advanced Beginner - To trade one or two lots with
real money, working through emotions and establishing a track
record of making money.
LEVEL THREE: Competent Trader - To trade in control with
equity management, achieving a financial return.
LEVEL FOUR: Proficient Trader - To trade based on my belief,
education, and experience and achieves a financial return.
LEVEL FIVE: Expert Trader - To mechanically execute profitable
trades with no emotion.
CHAPTER 1 - WHAT IS THE FOREX?
FOREX = FOR eign EX change
You can trade 24 hours a day
The FOREX is larger than all other financial markets COMBINED
The Foreign Exchange (FOREX) market is a cash (or “spot”) interbank market
established in 1971 when floating exchange rates began to materialize. This
market is the arena in which the currency of one country is exchanged for those
of another and where settlements for international business are made.
The FOREX is a group of approximately 4500 currency trading institutions,
including international banks, government central banks and commercial
companies. Payments for exports and imports flow through the Foreign
Exchange Market, as well as payments for purchases and sales of assets. This
is called the “consumer” foreign exchange market. There is also a “speculator”
segment in the FOREX Companies, which have large financial exposures to
overseas economies participate in the FOREX to offset the risks of international
investing.
Historically, the FOREX interbank market was not available for small speculators.
With a previous minimum transaction size and often-stringent financial
requirements, the small trader was excluded from participation in this market. But
today market maker brokers are allowed to break down the large interbank units
and offer small traders the opportunity to buy or sell any number of these smaller
units (lots).
Commercial banks play two roles in the FOREX market:
(1) They facilitate transactions between two parties, such as companies
wishing to exchange currencies (consumers), and
(2) They speculate by buying and selling currencies. The banks take positions
in certain currencies because they believe they will be worth more (if “buying
long”) or less (if “selling short”) in the future. It has been estimated that
international banks generate up to 70% of their revenues from currency
speculation. Other speculators include many of the worlds’ most successful
traders, such as George Soros.
The third category of the FOREX includes various countries’ central banks, like
the U.S. Federal Reserve. They participate in the FOREX to serve the financial
interests of their country. When a central bank buys and sells its or a foreign
currency the purpose is to stabilize their own currency’s value.
The FOREX is so large and is composed of so many participants, that no one
player, even the government central banks, can control the market. In
comparison to the daily trading volume averages of the $300 billion in the U.S.
Treasury Bond market and the approximately $100 billion exchanged in the U.S.
stock markets, the FOREX is huge, and has grown in excess of $1.5 trillion daily.
The word “market” is a slight misnomer in describing FOREX trading. There is no
centralized location for trading activity (“pit”) as there is in the currency futures
(and many other) markets. Trading occurs over the phone and through the
computer terminals at hundreds of locations worldwide. The bulk of the trading is
between approximately 300 large international banks, which process transactions
for large companies, governments and for their own accounts. These banks are
continually providing prices (“bid” to buy and “ask” to sell) for each other and the
broader market. The most recent quotation from one of these banks is
considered the market’s current price for that currency. Various private data
reporting services provide this “live” price information via the Internet.
There are numerous advantages for parties wishing to trade in the FOREX.
They include:
Liquidity: In the FOREX market there is always a buyer and a seller! The
FOREX absorbs trading volumes and per trade sizes which dwarfs the
capacity of any other market. On the simplest level, liquidity is a powerful
attraction to any investor as it suggests the freedom to open or close a
position at will 24 hours a day.
Once purchased, many other high-return investments are difficult to
sell at will. FOREX traders never have to worry about being “stuck”
in a position due to lack of market interest. In the 1.5 trillion U.S.
dollar per day market, major international banks a “bid” (buying) and
“ask” (selling) price
Access : The FOREX is open 24 hours daily from about 6:00 P.M.
Sunday to about 3:00 P.M. Friday. An individual trader can react to news
when it breaks, rather than waiting for the opening bell of other markets
when everyone else-has the same information. This allows traders to take
positions before the news details are fully factored into the exchange
rates. High liquidity and 24 hour trading permit market participants to take
positions or exit regardless of the hour. There are FOREX dealers in every
time zone, in every major market center (Tokyo, Hong Kong, Sydney,
Paris, London, United States, etc.) willing to continually quote buy and sell
prices.
Since no money is left on the market “table,” this is what is referred
to as a “Zero Sum Game” or “Zero-Sum Gain.” Providing the trader
picks the right side, money can always be made
