Forex Software Robots Take On Humans

By Terry Forex

Day traders have flocked to the Forex marketplace to pull in some greenbacks but the question everyone is asking is "Who wins when it comes down to the Forex Software Robots and the human Day Trader?" and the answer is not surprising in the least. Us poor humans have a number of traits that make us incapable of beating the Forex Software Robots from the very beginning and throughout this article I will show our weaknesses.

1. The human condition - The Forex Software Robots completely dominate us poor humans due to reasons directly related to what I like to call the human condition. The little things such as the need to sleep, the need to eat and the need to interact with other humans just kills any chances we have with competing with the Forex Software Robots. A Forex Software Robot can run twenty four hours a day seven days a week without having to bother with eating, sleeping and socializing.

2. Emotion - Emotion is a very scary thing when it comes to day trading and competing on the Forex marketplace. All of a sudden a couple of successful transactions and you feel like superman and make mistakes that you would normally never make. Then there are the days when everything seems to hit rock bottom so out of desperation you make a few Forex trades to hopefully salvage your day and chances are it is not going to work. The Forex Software Robot does not have any emotions obviously so it can just focus on what is important like the numbers and the trends which in the end pay off much better than a revved up human who is acting from his or her gut.

3. Consistency - The person who is going to be successful on the Forex marketplace is the one who consistently makes the right decisions and choices. If you are capable of focusing on the Forex marketplace twenty four seven than you will be alright but needless to say this is impossible. Thoughts such as how am I going to pay the electric bill or what the heck am I going to make for dinner or why do the Dallas Cowboys seem to take pleasure from sucking will kill any sort of consistency that you may have. Again the Forex Software Robots are designed to do one thing and that is make constant good decisions that will make you money in the Forex marketplace.

Well I hate to break it to you but the time has come where robots truly rule the planet at least when it comes to the Forex marketplace. Our basic needs cost us dearly when it comes to competing against a Forex Software Robot. Those darn robots are capable of working twenty four hours a day seven days a week without the need for food, sleep, companionship and to top it off they are 100% focused on the task at hand which is making you money. Someone throw in the towel for the battle of Forex Software Robots versus humans is not a fight but a butt kicking. - 23223

Good Traders, Bad Traders (Part II)

By Ahmad Hassam

Can you be a scalper? Yes, forex scalping is something that many of us do. Forex scalping is best suited to the time when the market is ranging. Scalper is a workable profile for a small retail trader. However, you should be able to view the overall trend of the market to gauge whether you are trading with or against the prevailing trend.

A scalper might use a 10 minute chart to follow the market, a 1 hour chart to determine the long term trend and the 5 minute chart to time the entries and exits for each trade.

Day trader is a good profile for a new trader. However, sometimes you might not want to close the trade at the end of the day as the trade is in profit and you are expecting more profits if you continue with the trade overnight. There is a rollover cost if you rollover your trades overnight. Be sure if you want to day trade, you know your broker policy on rollovers and the rollover cost for you. A Day trader is looking for larger profits something like 50-100 pips.

However, sometimes you might not want to close the trade at the end of the day as the trade is in profit and you are expecting more profits if you continue with the trade overnight. There is a rollover cost if you rollover your trades overnight. Be sure if you want to day trade, you know your broker policy on rollovers and the rollover cost for you. A Day trader is looking for larger profits something like 50-100 pips. A Day Trader might use a 15 minute chart to follow the market, a 4 hour chart to determine the long term trend and the 5 minute chart for making the entry and exit.

Position trader is a risky and difficult profile for a part time or new trader. The longer you hold the position, the more you are at risk of getting the market surprises that no one can predict. A market surprise can be a sharp change in direction or volatility often occurring as the result of a major surprise announcement.

If you aim for a 1/3 risk/reward ratio, a Guerilla will risk 5-10 pips per trade, a scalper will risk 15-20 pips per trade, a day trader will risk 25-30 pips per trade and a position trader will risk 40-50 pips per trade. Each profile requires different scales of charts and time frames but also indicators and money management parameters.

Even if two trader s use the same charts and technical indicators they might interpret them differently. The differences in money management techniques and attitudes are much less. Good traders tend to share money management and attitude traits. So do bad traders.

Do you want to become a good trader or a bad trader? Always keep in mind that in forex trading a 10 pips move up or down can easily occur within seconds or minutes very quickly without any reason or rhyme. No two traders can be exactly alike. - 23223

Take Your Company Public: Take Your Start-up Public

By James Scott

Are you trying to raise capital for your business? Have you been turned down by institutional lenders for loans and corporate lines of credit? Why deal with the hassle and embarrassment of perpetual declines and risk losing your business because of lack of cash? Wouldn't it be great to raise capital quickly and easily for your company without constantly having to fill out scores of credit applications to stay afloat?

The important thing to realize is that if you are a small or medium size business and even if you are a start-up you can take your company public on OTCBB. When going public you really have two viable options: first, most people consider the IPO, but very few qualify because of the necessity of massive amounts of capital in reserve, SOX 404, extensive time in business and finding a broker dealer to take you through the process; the second option is taking your company public OTCBB (over the counter bulletin boards), this process is inexpensive, lightning fast, minimal qualifications and offers start-ups and small/medium size business the ability to raise gargantuan amounts of capital from investors worldwide.

There is no other way to go public on a legitimate platform. With Pink Sheets and Reverse Mergers you'll only get burned so buyer beware! Are you short on cash? A popular mechanism for raising the initial capital to go public via OTCBB is by using a Private Placement Memorandum (Regulation D Rule 504) with a built in mini/maxi.

Right when you hit that minimum you can start using capital to grow your company while simultaneously initiating the 'going public' process.

The moral of this story...even if you're a startup or small business owner you can raise capital by going public! Get informed and get funded. - 23223

Public Companies Succeed Faster When Triggering the Necessary Element of Emotion

By James Scott

Whether you are a small business or a large global corporation the need for strong publicity is a constant necessity for branding, direct marketing and lead generation. Publicists have been spoiled throughout the years by sending out pitch letters to radio shows, television news corporations and print media to put out a blurb about their client. These little blurbs usually give a minor jump in the pulse of an otherwise dead publicity campaign but the publicist feels that if they got you some coverage, they did their job, but now the game of publicity has changed.

The publicist profession has converged with the advertising agency to create a hybrid, one stop shop, ultra powerful, rapid response type of promotion now referred to as 'Publicity Marketing'. These consultants offer a cost effective, guerilla marketing approach that includes everything a business needs in one turnkey solution. Direct response, publicity campaigns, branding and other genres of targeted promotion are offered in an all inclusive service that any business can afford.

Now as publicity marketing has carved out a major chunk of the business promotion market place it's forcing the evolution of marketing once again with the'60's mentality of 'emotions branding'. A good publicity marketing company will take a powerful marketing campaign and add jet fuel to the process by infusing the element of emotion to break through and grab hold of the subconscious mind where the most powerful messages are stored in the target candidate's mind and when they are ready to buy and automatic switch is flicked on and your brand takes precedence in their mind. The most experienced publicity marketers are able to trigger the 'buy now' button to induce sales and this entire process revolves around piercing through the conscious, judgmental and critical part of the mind and going right to the subconscious mind to store messages to promote your brand.

These messages are stored by using various colors, terms, word positioning, cornering and gently bombarding the candidate with your message until your brand becomes one with your industry terms. The publicity marketer must barrage the candidate with more than just a brand name but a solution to, but not limited to their direct need for your service. It doesn't matter if your selling widgets or motor oil, you must demonstrate how your brand will solve any issue they are currently struggling with, whether it's a gloomy day, they're stuck in traffic, their spouse is ignoring them, whatever, how is your brand going to pass through that critical faculty of the conscious mind and sooth their being with an overwhelming state of contentment?

Most likely your product or service can't do this on it's own, but a good publicity marketing company will know exactly what nerves to touch so that your brand becomes a warm blanket and a soothing cup of tea on a stormy night. Make your brand the one stop cure for the clients emotional ailment and you've got them! - 23223
