Thriving During The Hard Economic Times

Want to prosper during these tough economic times? Some people are struggling, but we are some of those who are prospering during these seemingly challenging times because we are driven with new business opportunities, increased revenues, things like new book deals, and stronger and healthier relationships that have more intimacy than we ever thought.

Why are we thriving, no matter what is going on in the world around us, while others seem to be challenged? The difference between those who are magnetizing their fair share of abundance to them, and those that are either only getting by or feeling stuck, is the vibration level ” the frequency at which their own energy vibrates. When we turn on a higher frequency in our inner worlds, our outer world must mirror that back to us in everything we do!

The body is very much like a radio tower constantly transmitting thoughts and feelings on a specific frequency into the Universe. The thoughts and feelings you are having mentally create a vibration of energy that you send out throughout the universe. Then its reflected back to you by the Universe, producing results you can see, smell, taste and touch! Its an automatic manifesting machine and you cannot turn it off. It works according to the Law of Attraction and it will never stop working while you are still living and breathing. The only power you truly over it is to choose where to place your focus and your intention in this process ” in the HERE AND NOW!

“Every type of focus, strong thought, visualization, worked up imagination, intention, all sets energy into motion. Whether you know it or not, energy is all there is.” ~ Dr. Jay Polmar

If your body energy has been living in a elevated state of feeling free, abundant and in love with life as it is, you will attract all sorts of positive outcomes with effortless love in your life, you will attract the people and things you desire into your life.

If your body energy repeats everyday feelings of being afraid, not having enough or being (in any way) needy, you will manifest experiences that are very challenging. You do not want to focus in this direction, just release this old pattern of thinking and feeling, reprogram your vibration to FEEL alive and positive about everything in life! The key to being able to transform life is very simply to imagine it and walk into the frequency of a super positive way of thinking and feeling ” its that easy, and everything will follow that natural path that you are creating.

Yes, you are a supernatural, yet quite natural, magnet, attracting to a something you always focus on in your life; good or bad ” its up to you. Do you know how to turn from negative to positive and, to stay positive. Thats was success with this system brings.

If you are not getting what you want out of life, its time to transform your vibration! You already have all the tools you need to shift your vibration and harness your own powers to manifest ” 1) thought 2) vision 3) focus 4) feelings all you need is desire ” passionate desire and watch how the Universe is assisting you to naturally attract prosperity, better relationships, more opportunities, and everything else you really want.

Talk To Your Lender About Saving Your Home from Foreclosure

When your home is on the verge of foreclosure, you certainly will do anything possible to save it. But the problem is how you will do it. One, among many, is going to your lender and asking for help.

Yet for others, contacting the lender at the first sign of financial problems seems to be not such a good idea. It may be because they are embarrassed to discuss money issues to others or they simply don’t see the need to inform their lender right away of their present financial standing , most of the time they are thinking it is a temporary problem. But the fact is, asking for your lender’s help will save you a lot of trouble and it will help you save your home.

Most people have the perception that lenders, like banks, think only of themselves and don’t care about the future of the borrowers. This leads to the common notion that lenders show no mercy to homeowners who have defaulted on payments and will take the homes when the very first window of opportunity opens. The truth is lenders like owners will do everything they can to avoid home foreclosures. So again, the best way to save your home is to work with your lender to solve the problem.

In most cases lenders will send a Notice of Default if you miss payments for 3 consecutive months. Call your lender as soon as possible. Inform them why you have defaulted on a payment and ask for an alternative payment schedule or temporary lower rates until your finances have returned to normal. You can also ask for Forbearance which is where your lender waives some of the penalty fees as a result of default or a mortgage refinance without going through the process of re-application, whichever you think is more economical. Mortgage lenders are NOT IN THE REAL ESTATE SELLING BUSINESS, thus are more than willing to help you to avoid repossessing your home.

Talk to your lender, inform them the cause of your delay, and ask for payment alternatives. DO NOT WAIT!!! Act fast. Understand the gravity of the situation and do something about it. It is your obligation to pay your mortgage but when worst comes to worst, your lender wants to help you keep your home.

Forex And Other Financial Markets (Part I)

The New York time between 3:00 PM EST to 7:00 PM EST is best suited for scalping with the counter trend strategy. Off hours between 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM EST is when all the world banks are closed. The U.S. banks are closing their doors and the Asian banks have not yet opened. This is a great time to scalp the market using a counter-trend strategy, because no larger banks are moving money (i.e. the markets) at that time. Just as with the London close, there is no set way in which the New York afternoon market plays out. On more active days where prices have moved significantly, the lower liquidity can cause additional outsized price movements. So traders just need to be aware that lower liquidity conditions tend to prevail and adapt accordingly.

Today we live in a global economy. Internet is just one example of it. You are browsing online searching for handbags. You like one but it is priced in Euros. You take out your credit card and make the payment without bothering about the foreign exchange transaction that you have made. Your credit card company is supposed to take care of everything. Todays global economy has become as simple as that. Why do investors need to exchange their domestic currencies for foreign currencies? Many want to invest in foreign assets. For that they need to convert their domestic currency into foreign currency. Companies involved in import and export business need foreign exchange to order new consignments or make payments. Multinationals need foreign exchange to repatriate profits. Big banks need foreign exchange and the list goes on. The forex market does no exist in a vacuum. You may have heard of other markets that exist like the gold, stocks, bonds, oil, futures and commodities.

There is a fair amount of noise and misinformation about the supposed relationship among these markets and the individual currency pairs. You can always find some correlation between two markets over time.

Crude oil futures contract trade on NYMEX. Gold futures trade on many exchanges. Dow futures trade on CBOT. S&P futures trade on CBOE. Stocks get traded around the world in different stock exchanges. NYSE is the most famous stock exchange. The forex market is 10-15 times bigger than all the worlds stock markets combined. There are many financial instruments and contracts that get traded in different financial markets all over the world. All these individual financial markets function according to their own internal dynamics based on data, news, positioning and sentiment. However, always keep this in kind that all the various financial markets are markets in their own right.

These markets will occasionally overlap and display varying degrees of correlation due to various underlying economic factors. So you should view each market in its own right perspective and trade accordingly.

However, its always important to be aware of whats going on in the other financial markets. Lets discuss some major financial markets and see what conclusions we can draw for currency trading.

Gold: The combination of currency trading and gold trading is ideal. Both are almost perfect hedges. Gold is considered to be an alternative to the US Dollar and a hedge against inflation. Gold is commonly viewed as a store of value in times of economic and political instability and uncertainty.

Over the long term, the relationship between Gold and US Dollar is mostly inverse or negative. A weaker US Dollar is generally accompanied by higher gold prices and a stronger US Dollar is accompanied by lower gold prices.

In the short term, the relationship between gold prices and US Dollar may not be as solid as it has been historically in the long term. This makes short term relationship between the gold prices and US Dollar generally tenuous. However, in the short term, each market has its own dynamics and liquidity. Overall, the gold market is much smaller than the forex market. There is only a limited and finite quantity of gold. No major gold mine has been discovered in the past many decades. Only the discovery of a major gold mine can bring the prices of gold right now.

If you are a currency trader than it is not difficult for you to trade gold also! Al most the same technical analysis tools are used in gold trading as in currency trading. Extreme movements in the gold prices tend to attract currency traders attention and usually influence the US Dollar in a mostly inverse fashion. At the same time, gold traders tend to keep an eye on whats happening to the US Dollar.

Oil: A lot of confusion is usually spread on the relationship between oil and US Dollar and other currencies like CAD and JPY. Correlation studies show no appreciable relationship to that effect in the short run which is where most of the currency trading is focused. The idea behind these theories is that if the country is an importer of oil, its currency will be hurt by the higher oil prices and helped by lower oil prices.

Currency Profile Of GBP (Part I)

British Pound is also known as the Cable. The name most probably struck in the late nineteenth century and the early twentieth century. United Kingdom (UK) is the fourth largest economy in the world. UK has a service oriented economy with manufacturing representing a small part of GDP. Manufacturing is only equivalent to one fifth of GDP.

The British capital market systems are one of the most developed in the world and as a result finance and banking has become a strong contributor to the GDP. London is still the forex center of the world. London Stock Exchange is still the second most important stock exchange in the world after the New York Stock Exchange.

The energy production industry accounts for 10% of GDP which is one of the highest shares of any industrialized nation. Although majority of UK GDP is from services, UK is the largest producer and exporter of natural gas to EU.

This is important for forex traders as increases in energy prices such as oil will significantly benefit the large number of UK oil exporters. Overall, UK is a net importer of goods with a consistent trade deficit.

The largest trading partner of UK is the EU with the trade between the two accounting for almost 50% of UK imports and exports activities. The United States on an individual basis still remains UKs largest trading partner.

The leading import sources for UK are Germany, France, United States, Belgium and the Netherlands. The leading exports markets for UK exporters are the United States, France, Germany, Ireland and the Netherlands.

UK had rejected adopting Euro as its currency in June 2003. However, the possibility of Euro adoption will still be in the backs of minds of pound traders for many years to come. Now, if UK decides to join EMU, it will have significant ramifications for its economy.

One of the primary arguments used against adopting the Euro is that UK has sound macroeconomic policies that have worked very well for the country. The most important of these ramifications is the adjustment of UK interest rate with the Eurozone interest rate in case UK decides to join EMU.

There are many arguments in favor of Euro entry and many against.UK is a highly political country with government officials highly concerned about the voter approval ratings. Right now Brits are not in favor of a Euro entry. The voter opinion can change overtime. However, if the voters do not support Euro entry, the likelihood of EMU entry will decline.

Bank of England: The Bank of England (BOE) is the UKs central bank. The Monetary Policy Committee is the nine member committee that sets the monetary policy for UK. It consists of a governor, two deputy governor, two executive directors of the central bank and four outside experts. The committee was granted operational independence in 1997.

Know Forex Pips (Part I)

by Ahmad Hassam

How can you make many pips per each trade in forex trading? Forex trading revolves around making pips. Almost every trader wants to make as many pips as he/she can per trade. Pip is an extremely important concept in the foreign exchange trading. A forex pip is the smallest unit of price movement in the exchange rate of a currency pair. Pip stands for Percentage in Points or some refer to it as Price interest point.

Pip is almost similar to the tick found in other financial markets like the futures market. Earned pips are the reward for a good trade. Traders trade foreign exchange in order to make as many pips as they can. And lost pips are the punishment for a bad trade.

Forex pip refers to one point change in the fourth decimal place of the most major currencies. Why most? Because there is a currency that is expressed up to two decimal places relative to the other currencies. Japanese Yen!

So for most of the currency pairs the exchange rate would be expressed like x.xxxx where a change of 0.0001 would constitute one pip. A pip would be the equivalent of 1/100th of one percent or one basis point. You must be familiar with the concept of basis points used in calculating thee interest rate changes.

For the handful of currency pairs featuring the Japanese Yen like GBP/JPY or USD/JPY, the exchange rate format would look like xxx.xx where a change of 000.01 would constitute one pip.

Calculating the exact value of each pip for the currency pair and lot size traded is the job of the brokers trading platform which should include a pip calculator created especially for this purpose.

Here is a simple calculation: Pip= (Lot Size) (No of Lots) (Pip Size). It is better that you also know how the exact value of a pip for a currency pair is calculated. The result of this equation will be denominated in the quote currency.

Quote currency is the second currency in the pair. The second currency in the pair is also known as the counter currency. The first currency in the pair is known as the quoted currency. However, the most popular name for the first currency in any currency pair is the base currency. So in the currency pair, EUR/USD, EUR is the base or quoted currency. USD is the quote or counter currency.

If the quote currency is already in US Dollar, no conversion is needed for the US Dollar denominated trading accounts. For example no conversion is needed for the currency pairs, EUR/USD, GBP/USD, CHF/USD, JPY/USD etc. In such a case the value of the pip will always be equal to $10.

When the US Dollar is the counter currency or the quote currency, it simplifies many things for the forex traders whose accounts are primarily in US Dollar. It helps to keep in mind that all currency pairs with the quote currency as US Dollar (ending in the US Dollar) will be $10/pip for a standard lot, $1/pip for a mini lot and $0.1 for a micro lot. This includes heavily traded pairs like EUR/USD, GBP/USD and AUD/USD.

EUR/USD

by Ahmad Hassam

EUR/USD is the most liquid currency pair in the currency markets. There are four currency pairs that are known as the major currency pairs namely EUR/USD, GBP/USD, CHF/USD and JPY/USD that are heavily traded in the global currency markets. The rest of the currency pairs dont have the liquidity to trade big volumes as these four pairs do. Almost like 90% of the global currency exchange is in these pairs. Out of these four pairs, EUR/USD has the most liquidity and is the most popular among the currency traders all over the world. EUR/USD is the most heavily traded currency pair in the global currency markets at the moment. Most of the currency traders are in fact speculators. Trading currencies can be exciting and lucrative. Its a great market because of the way politics affect the trends. Elections, strikes, and sudden developments, both good and bad, can lead to significant trading profits if you stand ready to trade the EUR/USD is a convenient currency pair because it encompasses the policies and the economic activity and political environment of a volatile but predictable part of the world: Europe.

Inflation is not good for any economy. Most central banks fight inflation by increasing or decreasing interest rates in the markets. In the United States, where the free-market approach and a usually vigilant Federal Reserve make more frequent adjustments on interest rates. France, Italy, and Germany, the largest members of the European Union (EU), normally operate under high budget deficits and tend to keep their interest rates more stable.

The general tendency of the Fed is to make the dollar trend for very long periods of time in one general direction. Aside from the technical analysis, here are some general tendencies of the euro on which you need to keep tabs:

1) As said before most central banks in the world have a strict agenda to fight inflation. Given Germanys history of hyperinflation in the first half of the 20th century and the repercussions of that period, namely the rise of Hitler, the European Central Bank (ECB) is almost fanatical about inflation. That means that the European Central Bank most of the times raises interest rates more easily than it lowers them. However, right now keeping in view the severe global recession, ECB has lowered the interest rates drastically to stimulate economic activity across the Eurozone.

2) The US and the EU are two major trading partners. This gives EUR/USD currency pair very interesting characteristics. EUR/USD pair is affected by what is happening politically and economically both in Europe and the US. The European Central Banks actions become important when all other factors are equal, meaning politics are equally stable or unstable in the United States and Europe, and the two economies are growing. For example, if the U.S. economy is slowing down, money slowly starts to drift away from the dollar. In the past that meant money would move toward the Japanese yen; however, because the market knows that Japans central bank will sell yen, the default currency when the dollar weakens is often now the euro. USD is inversely correlated to the gold prices. All these facts should be taken into consideration while forming your bias about a particular currency pair.

3) EUR/USD currency pair is heavily influenced by the political developments in the Eurozone. The flip side is that the market becomes jittery and often sells the euro during political problems in the region, especially when the European economy is slowing. These types of trends are minor in nature and tend to wither out with the calming of the political situations. However, day trader and the swing traders want to benefit from these minor trends. These minor trends can be highly profitable.

As a word of caution, its okay to form an opinion and have some expectations, but the final and only truth that should make you trade is what the charts are showing you. Candlestick charting is one way to read the markets. There are many candlestick patterns that are used to signal trend reversals or change in the market behavior. The more proficient you become in reading candlestick charts the more profitable your trades would be. As usual, you want to closely monitor major currencies and the cross rates. The direction that counts is the one in which the market is heading. Candlestick charts are a good way to read the direction in which the markets are heading.

Combining fundamental analysis with the technical analysis can give you the edge as a forex trader. Fundamental analysis can help you determine the strong/weak currency pair. Use fundamental analysis to determine if USD is expected to lose value and EUR is expected to gain more strength that means that the currency pair EUR/USD is perfectly timed for swing trading. Use technical analysis to make the entry and exit decision.

Treat Currency Trading As A Business

by Ahmad Hassam

If you are currently trading for a living or want to take on trading as a future substitute of a current job, then you should remember to take trading as a business. You need to treat it as a business.

You need to give some consideration to the fact that how you are going to deduct your monthly expenses such as your computer equipment, your quote feed, your DSL line, travel to investment conferences and continuing education seminars. How are you going to treat trading as a business? You should think whether you need to form a private limited company or a public limited company.

This can help you save thousands of dollars annually. You should seek advice from a tax specialist so that you can take advantage of all the regular and necessary expenses as business deductions.

Many people jump into trading without giving any consideration to these issues. For them the target is to start making money as early as possible. They need not waste time on other non trading issues. After you have consistently started making money in the market, it would be heart breaking to know that you cannot make expense deductions that could literally save you thousands of dollars.

Lets see what your expenses can be as a forex trader: You need to have a room where you have the required peace for trading. Then you have to have equipment that includes desktop computers, printers, laptop for travel and so one. Lets say these things cost you $5000. Suppose you rent a small one room office that could cost you like $500-1000 per month.

Attending investment conferences can provide you with lot of good trading ideas. You attend an investment conference that might cost you $1000 roundtrip airfare plus $500 per night for the night stay at a hotel. A price quote feed might cost you like $200 per month. You need a good DSL connection for your trading, $50 per month for the DSL expense.

You could be taking as little as $5000 to $25,000 per year in actual business expenses that could be deducted if you are running trading as a business and if you have business entertaining expenses and went to two investment conferences per year.

Do you have a business plan? What business plan you have in place to protect the money you make in the market. If you are a small time investor and decide that trading for a living is something that interests you, you should think do you have the financial resources, time and emotional makeup to trade full time.

As a long term trader what will you do when the market conditions change according to your system or methods? You need to cover your cost of living expenses, mortgage payments as well as your business expenses.

The forex market offers you a unique opportunity to participate on a pay as you go method because there are no commissions. Forex dealers provide free charts and quotes. But you have to cover the bid-ask spread each time you trade as a trading cost.

Suppose you are a day trader, you need to keep this in mind that trading is not free. You trade twice a day with a 4 pips bid-ask spread. Suppose you trade 5 lots ($100,000) each trade. So your daily trading cost will be $400 = (4) (2) (5) (10). If there are 200 trading days in a year, it means $80,000. Not to talk of your actual trading losses, first you need to cover $80,000 as your trading cost annually.
