Profitable Currency Trading Knowledge Base

Currency Trading From Internet? I want to do small internet currency trading business (with minimum amount) from home. I am new in this field.

Are there any websites where I can see world records for currency trading? Such as most consecutively profitable trades, highest % profit of all time on one account, most overall profits in an hour/day/week and the most trades without a loss. My record on the practice account I started a while back was 4/4 profitable trades with a total profit of about 3%. Too bad I don't currently have enough money to make a living doing this though. Anyone else tried forex trading before, if so what is/was your success rate? I didn't mean publish the names of the people or anything like that. I think it would be beneficial to a company though if they showed just how successful someone can be in the FX market, to inspire people by showing what is possible. I think it would encourage the spirit of competition and get more people involved in the FX market.

NOT CONSIDERING THE INHERENT RISKS INVOLVED, which is potentially the most profitable "TRADING" area to be in? Is it, theoretically speaking: 1- Options & Futures …… (And if so, in what underlying area?) 2- Forex Trading ……. (And if so, which currencies) or 3- Neither ……. (And if so, why not and what area would you recommend instead?) Which one offers the most theoretical/potential return and requires the least upfront outlay? Again, NOT considering the inherent risks, BUT merely the potential for return. Please, offer as much detail as possible. Thank You! P.S. Please also note, that I am talking about "Trading" and NOT "Investing". E.V. - Thanks for your great advice. g3n1ouz0 - What an incredible piece of creative writing. I wish, I could reward it with the BA, but unfortunately its ingenious satire does not really address the question. In other words, it would not be exactly fair to others to pick it as the BA. Nonetheless, THANK YOU for such a wonderful piece of writing - I know you must have put some time into that. Thanks again. Sheepherder - Great to have you back, dear. So you are recommending a pot of gold to be buried in the backyard, huh? I hope things don't get as bad as you are predicting, at least for another 50 years or so! :-) .... Then again, you’re an old (only in spirit, okay lol) fox who has been around so: When Sheep talks, the market might get sheepish! :-) :-)

Is there a finite limit to the US budget deficit and trade imbalance? When Harry Truman was president one of the major concerns he expressed and the US citizenry supported was a balanced budget by the Federal government. At the time the US simply would not tolerate an unfavorable balance of trade with any nation. US workers were busy producing products, grateful for jobs, the government was relatively small, and the Great Depression seemed a thing of the distant past. Even though the Korean War was raging most citizens believed and sincerely hoped that would be the last armed conflict on foreign soil involving US troops. The popular concept was that the US military would return home and a gradual de-militarization would begin. Somewhere during the last 60 years almost every aspect of that got lost. Both political parties have acted consistently to move US production overseas, to spend money of the future on social programs, foreign wars, to build and maintain a military presence far in excess of WWII levels [in cost]. A unit of currency only of value as it relates to a product. A piece of raw material, an agricultural product, a manufactured item, a unit of labor. [Economics 101, 1960s vintage] By extension, a dollar only has value to buy something if the US produces something someone somewhere wants to trade currency representing their own product for. Quid pro quo. If that economic concept represents reality, how long will whomever lends money to the US continue to loan it when the US produces nothing? How long will China continue to consider it profitable to keep workers producing for shipment to the US when nobody in the US is producing anything of like value to provide a foundation for US currency? This isn't a rant. This is a real question about time and the sustained value of US currency. Matt: Apparently you have a short memory. That credit card was already maxed out before this guy ever set foot in the oval office. For that matter, it looked maxed out before his dad ever set foot in the oval office. Maybe you're right. Maybe it's infinite. I sincerely hope it is. The dad of the guy before him, I should have said. The one with the CIA operating as the family business.
anyone wanna join my country? explicit outreach to North Koreans, anyone else is also welcomed? oh yeah, it's free, we offer military protection from any nearby soldiers...um...what else...national bank notes issued to you as an allowance...you also must agree to accept these as a currency. Every bank note $1 is worth $1 whatever your defacted currency is. Yeah...exchanging your defected countries bank notes for ours, then trading that for a richer countries bank notes can be quite profitable...join
The Real European Union Agenda? to understand the true sinister plan of the European Union you have to look back to days of the glorious British Empire when Britain ruled the waves and traded with the whole world,France and particularly Germany felt neglected because other countries knew trading with the Empire was more profitable. End of World War II France & Germany created the European Economic Community,and propositioned Britain to join because at that time we was in financial ruin due to been the only allied nation who fought the whole way through WWI and WWII. This was France & Germany's opportunity to undercut Britain's dominance on trade in Europe hence the reason why there are restrictions on British trade today,and the reason why German and French economies are in front of Britain. The removal of Britannia on our coins is just the first step,soon we can wave goodbye to our Union Jack,National Anthem,and Currency,and most chilling of all Britain's seat on the UN and NATO will be replaced by the EU. This is not some wacky conspiracy theory,France & German economies have over taken Britain's. And there plan to flood Britain with immigration and the growing Islamification. Our Government has no power to hold a Referendum. What do you think?
How do I finish my research paper off? Just need one or two more sentences, what should I say?: Moran 1 Ashley Moran April 21, 2009 English I, Pre-AP Ms. Johnson “Economy” The Elizabethan Era was one where many changes were brought on. The age of mercantilism slowly closed, while the age of capitalism was rising. The change of life brought surprise to many, but mostly the “commoners”. The Elizabethan Era introduced a brand new way to live and experience life. Manufacturing was done on a small scale - in households or small shops instead of large factories (Lace 35) . Labor was relatively cheap.- principally because it was widely accepted that commoners should expect a low standard of living (Singman 31). Manufactured goods, on the other hand, were comparatively expensive. There was almost no mechanization, so the vastly increased hours of labor more then negated the lower rate of pay. Moreover, prices would fluctuate according to time and place. (Singman 34). The growth of trade during Elizabeth’s reign and the movement towards a money economy (selling goods for cash instead of trading for other goods) led to growth in the number and the wealth of merchants. It was the merchants and the amount of wealth they controlled, who gave the cities economic power (Lace 37). Between 1500 and 1789 the trade in North American furs and hides was profitable in Western Europe for various people, such as: furriers, hatters, and leather makers. Medieval Europe had met it’s own Moran 2 demand for furs until the supply of suitable animals was exhausted and buyers resorted to “common pelts” such as rabbit or in expensive furs from the east (Dewald 500). Classical economic thought dominated the field from the 1820’s to the 1850’s. Ricardo’s life spanned the close of the age of mercantilism and the rise of capitalism. Ricardo’s interest in economics’ came after he read Adam Smith’s classic, “The Wealthier Nations“. (Powell et al 778) While Ricardo’s ideas have long since become out moded, he was the first to systematize the study of economics. Through his work he inspired both those who supported laissez-faire economic policy, such as David Hyme, and those who opposed it, favoring instead government control of the economy. Ricardo thought inductively, working from abstract principals to establish economic laws. For example: he saw that population was increasing, which resulted in humans competing for resources (Powell et all 780). On the other hand, Adam Smith’s approach to his work was first to do a historical study of his subject, and then to advance in the area, often building on the work of his contemporaries. Though, It has been shown that he was a most curious human being, Adam Smith displayed, in the writing of The Wealth of Nations, a “profound knowledge of the real occupations of mankind.” A situation that Smith observed in France, was one that was essentially brought on by taxation, a system that made people “exceedingly miserable,” a stem, which, in years to come, would bring on the French Revolution, and to bring, in it‘s wake, Napoleon. Thus Adam Smith, steeped into history and philosophy by writing his famous book “The Wealth of Nations“ (Landry). The Elizabethan Era was a gate that let in currency of gold and silver coins, as opposed to just trading. Also, new economic idea’s were brought on with such people as: Adam Smith and David Ricardo, paving the way towards capitalist ground. Today’s economy is influenced by the Elizabethan Era’s economy in many ways.
Anyone know why we invaded Hawaii and took it over .? We attempted the same thing in south and central america during the banana wars . And Attempted to seize many other lands that resisted and eventually remained free from our aggression . Now we are in the Middle east building permanent bases and if they do not resist will we strategically hold the vast oil reserves of the world in our control . Saddam got invaded as a reminder that the offers we make are to be taken seriously and without negotiation . Saddam, Iran & Venezuela attempted to forum a separate block of oil nations who where going to trade in Euro's the currency of Europe which would destroy the value of the United States currency around the world . An economic war and not terrorism is the reason we are in Iraq and planning to stay . Just like Hawaii . back then sugar cane and Rum ruled the profitable markets . Like drugs and oil do today . Afghanistan home to the poppy and the worlds heroin supply . Except under the Talliban . They had to go .

Could you check my grammatical mistakes? Could you help me and check my grammatical mistakes in my writing? Thank you for your help. It is the last part "A exchange rate affect the prices of imports an exports. It will also affect how a particulate business will be competitive and profitable in domestic and overseas markets. To prevent large fluctuations relative to one another most nations of the European Union linked their currencies. The European Monetary System was organized in 1979 to stabilize the exchange rate. It used an Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM) to create stable exchange rates in order to improve trade between EU members. At the beginning of 1999, the same EU members adopted a single currency, the Euro. Denmark, Great Britain, and Sweden did not adopt the Euro when it was introduced. To overcome problems of exchange rate fluctuations some businesses which tread in different currency may use some forms of futures contracts, which enables them to buy currency in advance at a guaranteed rate (fixed). It is a form of insurance and it reduces the level of risk. Some businesses may also decide to keep bank accounts in foreign currency and invest money in currency in which whey but goods to avoid exchange rate fluctuations and minimize bank charges. International debt is a part of the total debt in the country that is owed to creditors outside the country. The debt includes money owed to private commercial other governments, banks, or international financial institutions. According to statistic the United Kingdom is on the second place just after the United on the list of the counters with the biggest debts. All of the countries use the Balance of payments to measure all international monetary transactions. Balance of payments is a record of a country’s transactions with the rest of the world. It is used to summarize all international transactions for a particular country during a specific time period (usually a year). If a country has received money, this is recorded as a credit, and, if a country has paid money, the transaction is recorded as a debit. The Balance of payments should equal zero, meaning that credits (assets) and debits (liabilities) should balance, but in practice this is very rare."

I'm writing a paper on the American Expansion from 1800 - 1860 and its role in the division of the North and South causing the Civil War. This is what I have so far, but need to have a thesis statement in the first and last paragraph, please help! The North favored an understanding of the United States Constitution. They wanted to grant the federal government increased powers. The South wanted to reserve all undefined powers to the individual states. The North also wanted internal improvements sponsored by the federal government. This was more roads, railroads, and canals. The South, on the other hand, did not want these projects to be done at all. Also the North wanted to develop a tariff. With a high tariff, it protected the Northern manufacturer. Southerners felt the tariffs were unfair because they imported a greater variety of goods than most Northern people. It was bad for the South because a high tariff would not let the south trade its cotton for foreign goods. The North also wanted a good banking and currency system and federal subsidies for shipping and internal improvements. The South felt these were discriminatory and that they favored Northern commercial interests. The South wanted to secede from the North because they wanted to keep slavery. The South wanted and needed to keep slavery and the North did not want it at all. The South was going to do anything they could to keep it. This is the problem that overrode all others. America was an agricultural nation and crops such as cotton were in demand around the world. During this time the South had about 4 million slaves. These slaves were a big investment to Southerners and if taken away, could mean great losses to everyone. Slaves were used in the South as helpers in the fields in the farming of tobacco, rice, and sugar, as well as many other jobs. The South especially needed more slaves at this time because they were now growing more cotton then ever because of the invention of the cotton gin, which made cotton more profitable for southern growers. Southern planters saw their profits increase rapidly as more and more of them relied on cotton as their main cash crop. Cotton production rose from almost 200,000 bales in 1810 to almost 4 million bales in 1860. Northerners, who were called abolitionists felt slavery was uncivilized and that owning slaves for any reason was wrong. They wanted slavery abolished. The existence of slavery was the crucial element of the conflict between the North and South. Other problems existed that led to succession but none were as big as the slavery issue. The only way to avoid the war was to abolish slavery but this was not able to be done because slavery is what kept the South running. After the South seceded Lincoln said, “A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free." The Civil War was inevitable because slavery formed two opposing societies and could never be abolished. Thank you Krunchee. I didn't even realize I had a U,but changed it!!

What is China doing that’s any different than what Tiger Woods is doing? A powerful and dangerous force has been unleashed on the global economy. It’s a new source of skilled labor that has put American workers at a competitive disadvantage — and no one knows just how many jobs have already been lost because of it. The U.S. is running a huge trade deficit with this force; every year we’re spending millions more on what it produces than it spends on American goods and services. And to top it all off, this entity has built a massive currency reserve, investing large sums of it on U.S. government securities and thus enabling America’s fiscal profligacy. Why, oh why, won’t the U.S. government do something to protect us from . . . Tiger Woods? You thought I was talking about China, and I was. But I’m also talking about the modern-day golf legend. You see, China and Tiger Woods are a lot alike. In seven out of the ten years since Woods burst onto the golf scene he’s been the top money-earner on the PGA Tour. He has forced his best competitors into second place while pushing countless players at the bottom of the heap out of the pro game entirely. He also has nudged athletes of all stripes from the lucrative endorsements market. He’s the best-paid corporate mascot ever, lending his name and likeness to General Motors, General Mills, American Express, Accenture, Nike, and more. Such success both on an off the course has paid very well. Woods can’t possibly spend all the money he makes. (He took in $100 million from his Nike deal alone.) And what he doesn’t spend he either saves or invests, no doubt putting ample resources into U.S. government securities. So what is Tiger Woods doing that’s any different than what China is doing? Both are competing successfully. Both are earning more than they are spending. And both are saving and investing their wealth. If you think of Tiger Woods as his own country, he and China are just the same. Yet not a day goes by that we don’t read of some new political effort to throttle competition from China for the sake of the American worker and the American economy. Where are the initiatives aimed at protecting us from Tiger Woods? Think about that the next time a politician proposes protectionist legislation aimed at China. Of course, pro golfers aren’t whining about being beaten by Woods. Rather, they know they must improve their games — or at the extreme, find new games to play. Competition is the lifeblood of sports, and the professionals accept this premise. At the same time, the consumers of sports — the rest of us who watch it on TV — insist on it: If there were no competition, sports wouldn’t be very interesting. So why are American manufacturers whining about being beaten by China? And why do our politicians support these false notes? Competition is the essence of business just as it’s the foundation of sports. That’s why we have antitrust laws; they’re an attempt to keep competition alive and well. And just as in sports, competition is good for consumers. It forces businesses to improve their products and keep prices low. Yet there are people who understand all this in principle and still make an exception when it comes to competition from foreign nations. Why? There’s no fundamental difference between competing with someone across town or someone across the globe. Why the different set of rules for China and Tiger Woods, or for foreign and domestic competition? One of the usual arguments against foreign competitors is that they are “unfair”; that they expect us to buy from them, but they won’t buy from us. China, it is said, is cheating us by building up an enormous “trade surplus,” which now totals over $1 trillion. But Tiger Woods doesn’t buy as much from America as America buys from Tiger Woods. In fact, Woods is no different than anyone who has ever succeeded enough in life to accumulate savings. China does just that and it’s a problem. But it’s no problem when Woods does it, or for that matter when you and I do it. We often hear that the “trade deficit” with China means that America has gone into debt to buy Chinese goods. But that’s no more true than saying we’ve gone into debt in order to watch Tiger Woods play golf. Some of the goods we import from China are paid for with exports. In fact, U.S. exports right now are running at record levels. For the rest of the goods we import from China, we pay money. But that’s money we have earned, fair and square. Just because China sold more to us than it bought from us doesn’t mean there’s any debt involved. Say you bought a pair of Nike’s because you thought that ad with Tiger Woods in it was so cool. Did you pay for your sneakers with money, or did you export something to Nike? Last I checked this isn’t a barter economy, so you probably paid money. But that doesn’t mean you went into debt for those sneakers. The China-bashers also say that China’s investments in U.S. government securities are “unsustainable,” and they worry about what will happen to U.S. interest rates if those investments are liquidated. Well, suppose China took that money and started buying U.S. goods with it, instead of saving it. That means U.S. producers would have a lot of very profitable work to do. And that money wouldn’t disappear. It would simply change hands, and its new holders would ultimately have to invest it. Perhaps China worries so many, and Tiger Woods doesn’t, because he’s an American and China is, well, China. But try this thought experiment: If Woods weren’t an American, would you feel differently toward him? Would you want to slap a targeted tax or other penalty on him? Or would you restrict Americans from doing business with him? Your answer is likely “no” to each of these. You love watching him play golf. And even his competitors know that if he wins and they lose, that he has raised the level of the game and made it a better business for everyone involved. So why do so many endorse protectionist laws against China? Don’t these very same people love buying cheap toasters at Wal-Mart — toasters made in China? And don’t the American firms which cannot compete with China understand that the ascent of this new economic force has lifted the entire global economy, ultimately making it a better game for everyone? When you think it through there’s only one sensible approach to trade with China: Go get ’em, Tiger!
