Trading Like the Pros: Quicker Gains, More Opportunities to Profit
There’s always a bull market in currencies. Likewise, there’s always a bear market in currencies too. And since these trends exist in short-, intermediate- and long-term time frames, there’s always plenty of action and plenty of opportunity to profit. We happen to believe the intermediate-term is the best time frame to garner profits in currencies.
Leverage available in the spot markets allows your profits to add up very quickly. But leverage is a double-edged sword. That’s why it’s important to cut your losses early and let your winners ride. And because we are targeting trends that can last from days to weeks, it’s important you do not trade with too much leverage. Too much leverage often means risk levels must be very tightly maintained. By reducing leverage and targeting greater profits, we believe it will allow you a better opportunity to stay with a powerful trend.
The spot forex market achieves near perfect competition. It’s the most liquid and largest financial market in the world. It trades electronically 24 hours a day, 5 ½ days a week. And the futures market is starting down the same path. Roughly 70% of all futures trading on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange is now traded electronically through CME Globex.
Because of the generous availability of leverage in the currency market, one can produce a very significant total dollar return with a relatively low amount of starting capital compared to what is required for stock and bond investment.
