Quicker Gains, More Opportunities to Profit

There’s always a bull market in currencies. Likewise, there’s always a bear market too – it just depends on what currencies you’re watching.

But as these currencies move and shift on a minute to minute basis, Forex traders dive into the $4 trillion spot market to profit off those moves, 24 hours a day, 5 days a week.

This market is not just for professional traders either. The Forex market allows anyone with a computer (or a phone) to grab some fantastic gains on these smaller moves in currencies.

Just to be clear: When you’re trading in the spot Forex market, you’re always trading currencies in pairs – one currency vs. another.

For instance, to buy or sell the euro, you would buy or sell the euro against the dollar, yen or perhaps the Canadian dollar. (Symbols: EUR/USD, EUR/JPY, or EUR/CAD.) In doing so, you’re always betting one currency rising against another. That’s why there’s “always a bull market” in Forex.

But we like this market because you can earn huge profits FAST – anywhere from a few minutes, to a few weeks depending on how you trade.

How do you earn these big profits? One word: Leverage.

Forex leverage means you put up a smaller amount of investment capital to control a greater amount of currency (as much as 100,000 units of currency), so you can make higher gains when your currency pair moves just a few pennies.

But unlike stocks, your FX dealer will NEVER charge you daily interest and you never have to worry about weird stock stipulations. In fact, your FX dealer only charges you the spread to place trade – so less fees than commodities or stocks.

And unlike futures or option trades, Forex trades never expire. While commodity futures or option contracts are wasting assets that slowly lose their value as they get closer to their expiration, Forex trades can stay in your portfolio indefinitely.

In fact, as long as you have the spare margin, you can stay in a trade a day or a year. It makes no difference because you don’t have a contract with an expiration date like you do with both commodity futures and options.

Plus, in the Forex market, you can actually EARN interest on the levered position instead of the small amount that you have on the trade (in your own cash). And, this interest is earned seven days a week. It’s a lot like becoming your own bank.

To recap quickly, the Forex market offers…

1. Simplicity: Easy to buy, easy to sell specific currency pairs.
2. The opportunity for double or even triple-digit gains fast.
3. There’s “always a bull market” – that means there are opportunities even when stocks, commodities and every other market plummets in value.
4. The currency market trades electronically 24 hours a day, 5 ½ days a week – so plenty of opportunities to profit.
5. The Forex market is the most liquid and largest financial market in the world, which means you’re never left with a currency pair you can’t sell.
6. No commissions: Instead, you pay your FX dealer the spread for each trade – rather than separate fees to buy and sell.
7. Daily Interest: You earn interest rather than pay it (as long as you’ve bought the higher yielding currency in the pair)
8. Your levered Forex position doesn’t expire and you don’t have all of those weird stipulations you do in stock trading.

So there you have it. Simplicity, no interest, no commissions, no expiration …no way I can stay away from this market. It’s true: Once you trade Forex for a while, you get spoiled.
