| There are many good reasons to consider trading currency. Here we will discuss some of the benefits you will enjoy as an online currency (or forex) trader.1. Easy start up with many online forex brokers giving you the ability to open an account with as little at $25 to $250.2. Many of these forex brokers allow you to open your account with a credit card, saving you the hassles of mailing or faxing an account application.3. An abundance of forex related training material on the internet. You can easily learn all the basics of trading forex for free by just doing a simple internet search on the terms; forex trading or currency trading.4. An abundance of good forex related forums. Again, a simple internet search will give you several forex forums. On these forums you will find anyone from the forex beginner to the veteran forex traders. Some are even trading full time for a living. These forums are always very active, with some traders sharing their trading strategies.5. The ability to control a large amount of money with risking only a small amount of your own money. This is referred to as margin trading. For instance, with your $1,000 account you could potentially be trading as if you had $100,000.6. Trading can be done 24/7. Online forex trading can fit into anyone’s schedule. If you work all day, you can trade in the evenings. If you work at night, trade during the day. You can even stay in trades over the weekend and take advantage of interest rate differences.7. Online forex trading can fit almost any style of trading. If you like technical analysis (reading the charts and following trends) the forex market seems to do a lot of trending. Or, if you like to be in and out of trades quickly, you can trade the news. On major news announcements a currency pair can move very quickly, sometimes up to 50 or 100 pips.8. You can trade forex online from anywhere in the world. All you need is a laptop computer, internet connection, and an account with an online broker. Many traders travel and use a laptop or internet café and trade wherever their travels take them.9. If you look at online forex trading as a business, you probably can’t find another business you can start for less. You don’t need to worry about office space, staffing, inventory, paperwork, government licensing, legal fees, insurance, or any of the hundred other things a conventional business has to deal with at startup.10. You set your own hours. Trade the London session at night and have your whole day free. Trade the opening of the US session (the London and US sessions have the most price movement) and be done by about noon and spend the rest of the day on the golf course. Whatever your schedule is the forex market will be open for you.11. Quick profits. If you take the time to learn a trading system or spend a little money on an already established system and customize it to fit your trading style, you can possibly see profits that you would be unable to achieve with any other business or investment. Be aware that quick losses are also very possible and will happen. Trade conservatively until you have a system you can count on.12. The excitement of online forex trading. Once you have gotten your system tweaked to give you consistent wins, there is nothing more exciting than knowing you can, at any given moment, set down at your computer and make a few hundred dollars in a very short time. |
