Emini Futures Day Trading : Fundamentals And Simulated Trading System
Fundamental Analysis
Fundamental analysis is a methodology for analysis of a company as a viable stock that you want to hold for long term. Fundamental analysis is more widespread in the world of investing since you are going to hold your companies for 10 to 20 years, you do not wish that your companies go bankrupt the next day. Some of the common ratios used are P/E ratios (price earnings ratios) which measures the relative price of the stock to the earnings of the company, the EPS (earnings per share), the debt equity ratio and tons of other ratios.

Although I have spent considerable time studying such ratios I discovered that you do not really need such information to be successful in day trading. I repeat, fundamental analysis plays a marginal role in day trading. In fact, most of the time, I don’t follow it at all. If you still have reservations about ignoring fundamental analysis, I recommend trading ETFs (exchange traded funds) such as QQQQ which mirrors the movement of the NASDAQ 100. In essence, you are actually trading the index like a normal stock. Indexes usually have a huge number of stocks in them, making them less susceptible to company specific news. However if you are paranoid, then you might still want to follow the news of the major companies in the index.

here is no lack of information and no end to analysis. Knowing the fundamentals might seem cool when you discuss company so and so over a cocktail party, but it will not help you rip money off Wall Street in day trading. Being able to remove fundamental analysis from the decision making process is also one of the reasons why I recommend trading Emini index futures.

Paper Trading: Don’t Ever Underestimate it!
Paper trading refers to trading with virtual money, you do not use real money. You jot down in your notebook when you bought at what price and why. When you sell, you record in your notebook again why you sold and calculate the profit or loss associated with the trade.

If you cannot make money by paper trading, you can forget about making money in real trading. Always test a new trading idea with paper trading first before using real money. Also start with paper trading after a long period of break, to help you get back in touch with trading.

Although there is very little difference between paper trading and real trading in Emini, real trading is subjected to slippage and psychological factors come into play when you are using real money. Do not underestimate the impact of psychological factors on your trading. After you have a reasonable method and money management techniques, it is the psychological factors which will determine whether you make a profit or loss.

Some traders have created software to paper trade. You hit the buttons like you are doing real trading but only virtual money is involved and no real cash is used. The system will record down the time, price, symbol and the position opened or closed. This saves you the trouble of keeping a paper record.

UK’s BBA Mortgage Approvals rose more than expected coming out at 22.1K from the previously revised 17.3K. A slight drop to 17.0K was forecast. The GBP.

A Forex Trading system that works
Before using a Forex trading method, whatever it is, it is essential to test it on a virtual Forex account, but more especially, to check its effectiveness, look at the past charts and check how many winning orloosing trades the method generates.

No method is effective at 100% and all those who try to sell you this type of method get rich by the sales of their expensive ebooks, rather than by Forex. If I would hold a method as effective as affirmed by certain salesmen, I would not waste my time in intensive marketing to sell it, I would apply it with a real account at the forex!

I personally apply a method which gives me good results: an average of approximately 70 % of winning trades over a month. I will not sell this method to you, but quite simply will offer it to you. If it succeeds for me, it can to also bring the success to you, but there is no guarantee of success. I have to specify that Forex implies financial risks, and that the amount which you engage on Forex can bring back money to you, but you can also lose all your money.

This article does not represent an incentive to invest on Forex or any other system, and you must be conscious that you assume your own risks as soon as you invest on a market like Forex.

And now, about the method…

In order to apply my Forex Method, you need to have a minimum knowledge about how to read charts, or how to set indicators.

First Step:
You need to set your chart to a 30 minutes timeframe
Second Step:
Set up 2 indicators: one simple moving average (MA) set to 4 period - one MA set to 75 period
The method is quit simple, and gives you BUY or SELL signals:
- If MA4 crosses MA75 upwards, then BUY the pair
- If MA4 crosses MA75 downwards, then SELL the pair
Does it seem to easy to work?? Take a look at the history of charts, you will be amazed by the results!
Some important tips about this method:
- Protect your trade with a Stop Loss, set at 25 pips from the entry point
- Try to get quick profit from your trade: do not wait for a +150 pips result, +15/25 pips is a good level!
- Do not trade against the trend: if all indicators are “up”, do not trade “down”, you will never change the market, even you think you are right!

Currency Trading: Finding Your Niche
Currency trading is quite similar to trading stocks on the market. While you may or may not have any familiarity with those options, you should know that trading in this form is quite popular and it keeps gaining in popularity. There are many reasons for that, but in most cases it is popular because it works and is quite straightforward which makes it very well worth your time.

Currency trading is a method of trading based on the value of currency. In most cases, the world?s economy is the judge of how much you can and will make. This is different than with stocks which rely heavily on the United State?s economy. In this case, you are dealing with world markets and world currency rates.

The basis is very simple. You simply will purchase currency at a time in which it is worth less. For example, the dollar is worth more. You purchase low and then as the economy strengthens in that country, you can sell to make a profit. Basically you turn in your money for dollars again.

But, that is quite a simplistic look at it. There are many things that influence currency trading. What makes it attractive to anyone, anywhere is that you can invest pennies or quite a bit of money. Obviously you can make more money, the more you invest, but you still make money either way. Currency trading is a market that many are looking to get into for that very reason.

There are many currency trading options available to you to help you as well. You will find that people often have a system in place to help them monitor and make sales. This software is able to be found throughout the web and can be quite beneficial if you want to do the trading yourself. If you do not, you can easily get the help of any of the currency trading advisors out there. It?s a great opportunity!
