Becoming a Millionaire
Copyright 2006 Timothy Rohrer
Many people don't know about the largest traded market in the world.
Currently over 1.2 trillion dollars is traded on a daily basis in the forex market.
Forex, or the foreign currency exchange market was a market that only large investors could play in and until just recently has become available to smaller investors.
For those of you that don't know, here is an example of how the forex market works.
If one were to take a vacation to Europe from the United States, you would have to exchange your US dollars into the Euros.
When you came back to the United States, you would then have to exchange your Euros back to US dollars.
During the time you were on vacation market news may have caused the US dollar to strengthen against the Euro.
Therefore, when exchanging your Euros back to US dollars, you may have made a bit of money.
What makes the forex arena so popular is the leverage one can use when trading in this market.
Most brokers offer a 100:1 leverage.
Traditionally a trader needs 100,000 US dollars or we say 1:1 leverage (trading cash). However, with 100:1 leverage, a currency trader is only required to deposit 1/100th of the amount needed, 1,000 US dollars.
Some brokers offer as much as 400:1 leverage.
Learning how to trade forex and using the leverage available, it is very possible to make good money.
However at the same time it's very possible to lose a lot of money.
Approximately 95% of forex traders lose when they decide to play in the forex market.
There are many reasons for this, your psychology, discipline, greed and fear will have a major impact on your trading success.
When looking at the forex market, the price is constantly changing every second.
Forex traders measure the price fluctuation in pips also known as the minimum fluctuation or smallest increment of price movement.
One pip could be $1, $5, $50, or $100, whatever you decide to risk on each trade.
Using good money management with a well thought out plan can easily turn into profits in the forex arena.
Learning to cut your losses and let your winners run is the key to success. A simple money management system to follow is to always look to win 3 times the amount you plan to lose.
Yes, you will lose and it's important to accept losses when trading.
For example, if you set a stop-loss to 10 pips, you need to look to win 30 pips.
If you set a stop-loss to 20 pips, then you need to look to win 60 pips.
This way you only have to be right 33% of the time to be profitable in this market.

Business and the Forex
The business world is a complex web of supply and demand. Money and goods, physical or otherwise, pass through the global market every single day. To meet this exchange between one country and another, foreign exchange, or forex, was born. The term forex is used to refer to transactions involving the conversion of money of one country into that of another or to the international transfer of money and credit instruments.Foreign exchange, or forex, is used because different nations have different monetary units, and the currency of one country cannot be used for making payments in another country. Because of trade, travel, and other transactions between individuals and business enterprises of different countries, it becomes necessary to convert money into the currency of other countries in order to pay for goods or services in those countries.
The transfer of money values from one country to another and the determination of the price at which the currency of one country will be...

A whiff of Nostalgia….
Today I was given a whiff of nostalgia. No, not some bottled perfume from my youth (eg 'Evening in Paris', remember? On second thoughts perhaps you'd rather not!!), but the wonderful God-given smell of cowslips from a cottage garden. I was immediately whisked back to my childhood and to the wonderful sight of fields of yellow cowslips and of that never-to-be-forgotten smell of the untouched perfume of wild cowslips mixed with the clean country air. In retrospect, I do not know what use those flower-laden...
