The Truth About Automated Forex Trading SystemsPDFPrintE-mail

Tuesday, 07 June 2011

I have traded for over 22 years and still see people trying to buy success via cheap automated Forex software and they fail to make money. Below are six reasons, why most cheap Forex robots lose money. So let's look at the claims made by the vendors which can help you spot a loser and then, look at how to make money with Forex software which is not known by many traders.


6 x Myths Traders Believe about Robots and Making Money in Forex

If you are considering trading with a Forex robot then read on and it could save you a lot of moneyOf course, the myths below, are put forward by vendors of cheap Forex robots to generate sales and believe any of them, and you will end up with a system which will destroy your account.

1. You Can Trade with 90% Accuracy


This is rubbish and anyone who has traded knows it. The best traders in the world don't do this and they earn millions or hundreds of millions in salaries so don't expect a cheap robot costing a hundred bucks to do it. Also the accuracy rate is NOT important, its the difference between winners and losers which is.


2. The System Uses Sophisticated Algorithms to Predict Price


Again another stupid statement – Forex markets do not move to mathematics and therefore, there is no way to predict the future. Any system which claims it can, will end up being as accurate as your horoscope. You can win but you must see Forex as an odds game and that means trading the reality of price change and not trying to predict.


3. The System Uses Artificial Intelligence to Beat the Market


this is perhaps the most amusing claim of all. The vendor of the robot claims, the system can think and adapt to market conditions and make money. Well the most sophisticated artificial intelligence robot ever developed, was by Berkeley University in California last year so lets see what its capable of doing:


They managed to built a robot which achieved a major breakthrough in artificial intelligence - it could pick up and fold a towel!


This is a finite object and in a set place and compare this task with trading Forex markets which are a moving price and the price is made by humans who are unpredictable. I find it amusing, there are so many vendors claiming they can beat the market with this method, when its obviously not true.


4. The Programmer is an MT4 Programming Genius


Linked to the above, mathematics is of limited use in Forex and anyway the so called “genius” doesn't even exist and is just sales hype. Forex trading is an odds market and all you can do is trade probabilities, you can win doing this but make a system too mathematical or complex and it will fail.

In fact, mathematicians generally make bad traders because they make clever systems which are to complex and break. The best traders I know, are ones who are good at poker and this is because they know how to trade the odds and use simple robust methods they execute with discipline.


5. You can Make X Amount Every Month


The figure varies but again another statement which is not true – you cannot make a steady income in Forex each month because trading conditions change. This should be obvious to anyone but naive and greedy traders believe and learn the reality which is a quick loss of equity.


6. You can Trade for Huge Gains with Less than 10% Drawdown


Again this statement is rubbish - big gains means drawdown in the short term. Sure a system can make big gains longer term but in the short term ANY system (even the best) will lose money and draw down for a few months at some point before a new high in equity is made.

You can of course make money longer term trading Forex but you will have periods of losses and any vendor who claims otherwise is lying.


So How do they Get Track Records that Looks so Good?


Well there either simulations going backwards, where a system is bent to past data to make a profit manipulated, where the vendor only shows closed profit and not open losses or simply made up.


Ever seen one of the cheap robots present an audit of results by a reputable auditor? Me neither. If you see systems that look to good to be true, they are and that's a fact.


Can You Make Money with Automated Software?


Yes but the reality is the best systems in the world make 50 – 100% per annum which are great gains but keep in mind draw down will be typically 30 – 50% and can lost for several months on end.


If you are disciplined and prepared to look long term, you can make money trading with automated systems but the reality of trading automated systems is one of patience and waiting for long term gains with a lot of short term volatility.


Think About Before You Use an Automated Trading System


Most people simply don't have the discipline to follow mechanical systems and if you are one of them, why not do what all successful traders do and get an education and learn how to trade the odds?


Anyone can learn to trade - but few people bother to try and get the right education and feed robot vendors with a regular income and end up joining the 90% of losers.So if you are serious about making money at Forex treat it as a serious business learn the basics and you will soon be making big gains in around 30 minutes a day.

Make a Forex RobotPDFPrintE-mail

Saturday, 09 April 2011

You can buy lots of Forex robots or so called Forex Expert Advisor's online but most are junk and won't make you any money and it's a fact you can do better yourself and make a trading system which can make money – so lets look at how to make a Forex robot.

Before we look at how to make your own Forex robots let's take a look at the commercial ones, how they build them and why they don't work.


Why Most Commercial Robots Fail in Real Time Trading


The first point to keep in mind is - most vendors who make commercial robots are not interested in the robot making money. All they are interested in is presenting the best track record they can which has high returns and low draw down, so the naïve and greedy trader buys it.


So How Do They Get the Track Records to Look so Good?


The answer is - back testing and bending a set of rules to fit the data which is known as curve fitting. They keep adding and subtracting rules, until they have a system which show high returns and low draw down.


When they build these systems, not only do they bend rules to fit the data, they have no real money management and either take far to little risk on a trade or in most instances – too much.

I have seen one robot where it claims the trading signal made 10 pips profit but before it came back into profit - it was negative 625 pips.


Bending a track record to fit back data is doomed to failure because prices never repeat in exactly the same way again and the system gets destroyed. The vendor then makes up another one and another one, with the same result and makes a tidy income on sales, while the buyer simply losses.


So if you want to make a Forex robot you can and now we will take a look at how to do it.


Making Your Own Forex Robot


The first point to keep in mind is that the best systems are simple and robust and its a fact that simple systems work best and always have. Also simple systems will not be subject to curve fitting and the back test results will be realistic.


A key point to keep in mind is that if you are looking to make a Forex trading system – it will have draw down. There is no perfect system! Here are some general guidelines on building robots.


Simple Price Action System


You can make money even with a 1 rule system and on this site you will find a system which does just that called the 4 week rule. This system doesn't use any indicators and is based purely on price action and works.


Standard Deviation of Price


Another great way to trade is to base your system on volatility and I have known several systems which have just traded standard deviation of price and piled up huge gains, with one making 100,00 to 1.1 million in just 2 years.


Indicators


Its always tempting to use a large number of indicators but you should resist the temptation, as we said earlier, because it will lead to curve fitting. Keep the number of trading indicators to around 4 or less.


Focus Long Term Trade All Markets the Same Way


If your system is based on sound principles it should work in ALL markets avoid unique rules for different currencies or different trading conditions – this is the worst type of curve fitting and destined to fail. Also focus on long term trends and don't try and trade random short term moves.

Finally, employ a set of money management rules which give you objective levels where you are stopped out and your all set to trade your own Forex robot.


Final Words


Making a Forex robot is a lot simpler than most people think and if you spend a little time and follow the above guidelines you will have a trading system you can trade for big Forex robots and make a great second income in around 30 minutes a day.


Neural Networks Applied to FX TradingPDFPrintE-mail
Written by Andrew11
Sunday, 13 March 2011

Here we will look at neural network trading strategies applied to FX trading, with the view of making a program which lead to bigger trading profits. Lets take a look at neural networks and see,if there application can lead you to bigger profits in Forex trading.

Should you use neural networks in your FX trading strategy? Lets take a look at the logic and its application in trading currency markets for profit.


The Concept


In technical terms, neural networks area method of data analysis which consists of a large number of processing units that are linked together by weighted probabilities. The idea is that they can mimic the human brain in the way it works and learns from past experiences. Its a branch of artificial intelligence where the creation of neural network model leads to a computer program which is able to 'think' and 'learn' and this concept is the new buzzword in Forex Trading.


So how do Neural Networks Work?

The field of neural networks was pioneered by Bernard Widrow of Stanford University back in the 1950s. Today they are used in various industries such as image and voice recognition systems, industrial robotics and aerospace applications.

A neural network usually involves a large number of processors which operate together but each has its own individual programmed knowledge and access to data in its own local memory. A neural network is "trained" by being given large amounts of data and specific rules about data relationships (A breakout above a daily chart high is likely to continue higher). A program can then tell the network how to behave in response to an external stimulus ( buy a breakout above a daily high)

Neural networks, in FX trading can be used to extract patterns and detect trends from its rules base. A trained neural network is often referred to in FX trading as " A Forex Expert Advisor" ( EA). The network can provide projections and answer "what if" questions. In true terms, a neural network learns by example and are not programmed to perform a specific task.

The Problem with Neural Networks in FX Trading

In FX trading lots of vendors claim they have built neutral networks and artificial intelligence programs which can not only be programmed with rules, they have the ability to think, learn and trade the market better than a human. By using pattern recognition, it then predicts and trade currencies for profits but this is absolute rubbish.

Let's look at how advanced artificial intelligence has become and you will see why, neural networks can never trade Forex markets better than a human and any simple trading system for that matter, based on trend following.

The Most Advanced Artificial Intelligence Neural Network and a Stunning Breakthrough

In 2010, a team from Berkeley's Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences department, got a robot to fold towels of different sizes, solving a key problem in robotic engineering -- how to deal with flexible, or "deformable," objects. So we are a level where a computer can manipulate "deformable objects" – I.E. something which is flexible and not rigid, where the shape isn't predictable.

Now this is major breakthrough in artificial intelligence and neural networking but if you think about it, this is still a defined object. Currency markets are NOT a defined object. In terms of the towel folding its scientific and the rules are specific to help it fold the towel and the outcome, will be the SAME every time.

In terms of FX trading, this is not so. The idea of neural networks and artificial intelligence in Forex is to find patterns that are predictable and trade them, to give the trader an edge but Forex markets are not scientific!

Traders will always look for recurring patterns which they think haven't be seen by humans and a computer can find them and predict with greater accuracy. How can this be true though, when markets are illogical and are made by humans which don't confirm to any objective rules?

You have guessed it, these neural network FX trading systems, are simply sold by vendors to appeal to naïve traders who think they can predict Forex price action but they soon learn, there is no way to beat the market.

Final Words

I quite like the idea of a robot folding towels and do set chores and also saw, an artificial intelligence robot for sale the other day on the web. With its advanced application of neural networks and fuzzy logic, it claims 95% accuracy in trading ( well if it really can predict the future with science it should be 100%) the cost for this breakthrough program $97.00!

Anyone who buys a system in FX trading based on neural networks or artificial intelligence is either very naïve or has no concept, of how and why Forex prices really move. In conclusion, avoid neural network FX trading strategies or you will end up losing your money.

Forex Trading Software – Advantages and Limitations of Forex RobotsPDFPrintE-mail
Written by Andrew11
Monday, 11 October 2010

If you look around online you will see everyone talking about Forex robots and saying you can make huge gains with no effort and most new Forex traders use software to trade but what is the reality of trading with Forex software? Lets find out.

The advantages of using an automatic buy and sell software program to trade currencies are:


You don't have to do any real work after setting up the system, you just let it trade via it's rules.


Because the software has set rules your emotions cannot get involved if you traded yourself.


Finally, you can make big gains with the best robots.

So what are the disadvantages and limitations of using software?


The first disadvantage is that most of the Forex software sold online is junk. You get people who have never traded in their lives selling software packages they claim can make huge gains with low risk but they never present, a real time track record of gains to support the track record. You get simulations going backwards ( knowing all the highs and lows) or figures which are unaudited.


Beware of Sharks


If you see a currency trading software program with a track record of huge gains and low risk, costing under $200.00 – pass it by as the old saying is:


If it looks to good to be true it probably is” and that applies to the bulk of the software sold online.


You can get good automatic currency trading systems and there is a free one on this site which works , called Richard Donchians 4 week rule and you will get some programs which present real time track records but you have to keep in mind the following points when using these systems


What to Expect When using Currency Trading Software


ALL systems will have long periods of draw down which can last many weeks or even months – sure they make gains long term but you must be patient and ride out these short term periods of losses


The bigger the gain, the bigger the draw down. For example, the best robots make between 50 – 100% and you can expect a draw down at some point of 25 – 50%. Don't believe anyone who tells you that you can make big gains, with minuscule downside volatility – its not true.


As you can see, if you are careful and get the right system and have confidence in it and follow it long term, you can make a great long term income but you don't get rich overnight.


Fantasy and Reality


As for the robots and software programs telling you you can enjoy over 90% accuracy with your trades, make several hundred percent in profit, with draw downs below 10% - There likely to lose you money because the track records are not real money.


Final words


Software has its advantages and limitations and if you keep in mind the above points, you can decide whether you should use a software program or trade for yourself


Currency Trading Software – Using Different Settings for Range Bound and Trending MarketsPDFPrintE-mail
Written by Andrew11
Wednesday, 14 July 2010

There are many Forex trading systems and robots sold today which allow you to change the settings of the system to trade different conditions but the logic this is based on is flawed and we will look at why in this article.

What many Forex robot vendors do is - construct track records using simulations across back data and when they do this, they want to produce the best track record they can. They do this by bending the rules of the system to fit the data then, to improve performance even more, they then make different rules for different trading conditions. So the system is curve fitted to the data and there is a problem with this...


The Dangers of Back Testing or Curve Fitting


In hindsight, its easy to see the change between range bound markets and trending ones but when you are actually trading for real its not so easy to spot these periods and of course, when they change . As no data sequence ever repeats the same again, the system get hammered in real time trading and the user ends up losing his money – trading in hindsight is easy, as you know where all the highs and lows are but when you don't have this data at hand, trading live is far harder.


These systems which try and use two different systems, within a system are doomed to failure. If you see a system with unique rules for individual currencies or for different trading conditions, avoid it as it will fail to make money in real time trading.


Rules to Trade ALL market Conditions


Any currency trading system, should trade all currencies and all market conditions with the same set of rules.


The reason for this is it will be more robust and more likely to make you money, as it will have fewer rules, too many rules in a system, leaves it with to many elements to break.


You Can't Beat the Market but You Can Make Money


In today's world of high performance computers and software with awesome number crunching ability, there is a tendency for traders to look for order in back testing when there is actually none. Because Forex markets are made by humans, who are not logical but emotional beings, there is no scientific order; FX markets remain a game of odds, not a game of certainties and this means you can't beat the market.


While you can't beat the market, if you have a system based upon sound logic and strong money management to keep losses small in periods of draw down you can make a lot of money over the long term and while your Forex trading software can lose in the short term, you can make great gains longer term.


Judge your systems performance over years rather than weeks or months and your patience will be rewarded; trading currencies is not about trying to be perfect, its about making money and you can do that with a simple currency trading software package and tight money management.

FX Trading Signal ProvidersPDFPrintE-mail
Written by Andrew11
Tuesday, 25 May 2010

Online there has been a huge upsurge in people providing signals to traders and you can now get them to your email or mobile, so you can trade them instantly but there is a problem with FX trading signal providers and we will look at in this article.

You can get FX trading signals direct from the vendors software or you can get them via robots that they sell and generally these signal providers charge very little for the service - normally a few hundred dollars for a robot or under a hundred dollars a month for signals from them.


How to Find the Few Good Signal Providers


While it is tempting to think these signals will make you money, in most instances they don't work. To find out which ones do (and there are very few that do) look for an audited track record which has been verified from an outside ratings firm or accountant. Most FX signal providers don't do this and all you get are:


  • Simulations going back across historical data which is very easy when you know the closing prices



  • The vendor will sometimes give you, so called live results which are published by him on his website but there is no outside check and they should be treated with caution.


Learn the Logic Upon Which Trading Signals are Generated


The other problem with following signals ( even if they do show a profit) is you will have periods of draw down and you need to have confidence in the logic behind the signals to follow them.


As most signal providers simply make up track records in hindsight, they don't give you the logic behind the signals of how and why they work (because they don't!) but if you want to follow a currency signal service with discipline, you need to have confidence in the logic. If you want to follow signals, make sure the logic is revealed, so you know why it works and you have the confidence to follow the system with discipline.


Final Words


The internet is full of get rich quick systems and trading robots but these cheap systems get turned to dust by the market but the lazy and naïve trader still continues to buy them looking for a free lunch. Always remember, there is no free lunch in currency trading, just as there isn't in life and in a market, where 95% of all traders lose money this is obviously true!


If you trade an automated currency trading system which gives automatic trading signals in your FX trading strategy, always keep in mind that your trading for the long term and you will have short term drawdown.


If you want to use an FX trading signal service, you like learn the logic and have the discipline to stick with it and you can make enjoy long term currency trading success.


Trading Forex with Artificial Intelligence SoftwarePDFPrintE-mail
Written by Andrew11
Saturday, 22 May 2010

There have been several Forex trading robots which claim to be using advanced artificial intelligence in there software and some claim, more than 95% accuracy in there trading signals - so what is artificial intelligence , can it be applied to Forex trading and can it help you make bigger profits – Let's find out.


The definition of artificial intelligence is:


The capability of a device to perform functions that are normally associated with human intelligence, such as reasoning and learning from experience.


The Limits Of Artificial Intelligence


Currently, there are no computers ant where exhibit full artificial intelligence (that is, are able to simulate human behaviour). The human brain can think for itself and as yet, no computer can even get any where near the human brain in terms being able to think, learn from experience and act upon this experience across a variety of subjects but there has been some limited success, in making machines which can perform basic tasks.


In the area of robotics, computers are now widely used in such areas as car assembly plants, but they are capable only limited tasks. Robots still have huge difficulty identifying objects based on appearance or feel, and it was only recently that a robot was developed which could actually fold a towel correctly and this was seen as a major breakthrough in artificial intelligence software.


The Future and a Robot that Can Think for Itself


In the 1960's, I remember seeing a program on the future, where we would all have robots to help us clean the house, shop, baby sit the kids etc but we are no where near to having this kind of robot, as we have just seen from the above examples.


Forex Robots Predictive Software


The Forex trading robots which claim they can think for themselves to predict Forex price movements cost normally around $100 or so and claim they come with advanced Artificial intelligence but they don't and never have real time figures that are audited to back up there claims, its good copy though and helps to sell systems. The reality is that even the most advanced artificial intelligence software, can cost millions of dollars and can perform only limited tasks, so if you think a Forex robot costing under a hundred dollars can beat the Forex market your in for a disappointment.


The Reality of Forex Trading and the Limitations of Software


Forex trading is a market of odds not of certainties, you can never predict where prices are going and the market can never be beaten and the reality is:


In the last 50 years, we have seen computer and software technology make huge advances in terms of speed and number crunching ability but in terms of Forex, the ratio of winners to losers remains the same – 95%. So advances in technology have not helped increase the ratio of winners.


If you want to win use a simple trading system with just a few rules and it will beat a complex one, simply because it has less elements to break.


So trade the odds, keep your system simple and robust and you, will easily beat the Forex robots which claim they can predict the market in advance.

More traders than ever are looking at buying automated FX robots and looking to trade a Forex Professional trading system, the problem is most of the ones for sale that are heavily promoted are junk in this article we will show you how to get the right software to make Forex professional system trading a reality for you and help you make some great long term profits.

Online you will find numerous holy grail Forex trading robots which all claim to make huge gains with little or no draw down, they actually look to good to be true and they are – you don't make huge gains with no draw down and you can't predict the future as most of these robots claim. If you want to trade a Forex trading system you need to find one that works ( which we will come to in a moment) and keep these facts in mind:


  • A good system will give you a compound growth rate of around 50 – 100% per annum

  • Drawdown will typically be between – 20 – 40%

  • Drawdown's can last a few weeks to a few months before a new peak equity is hit

  • You need to ignore short term fluctuations in equity and judge your performance over years not months.


To find a good system make sure that you buy a Forex trading system which has a real audited performance of long term gains and the figures are verified by an independent outside source and DON'T come direct from the vendor selling the system.


Most currency trading robots sold online, simply present back tested results by simulating the system backwards over historical data which means the system has been bent to fit the data and make a profit or thery give you results on their website which they say are live but there not and come direct from them. The reason they have no evidence to back up their track records is simple – they have never made any money!


Forex professional system trading is all about getting a system which has proved itself in real time trading and on this site on the right, you can get a great Free system which works and performs all the heavily promoted cheap robots.


If you want to trade Forex like a pro the right system can give you a short cut to long term success and give you access to a triple digit income per annum for just 30 minutes of your time or less, just make sure you pick the right system!

Trading Software – Using Science to Beat the MarketsPDFPrintE-mail
Written by Andrew11
Sunday, 07 March 2010

Today, we have more powerful computers than ever and the software which has been developed to trade Forex markets, is mind boggling in it's complexity. Many traders are using software in an attempt to make their currency trading strategies more profitable and beat market but they can never succeed and this article looks at why.

First, let's start with a simple Forex trading fact which most people know and it's this:


95% of all Forex traders lost 50 years ago and still lose today and when you think about this fact, it may strike you as odd, with all the advances we have seen in terms – price delivery, better news, computer power and the ability of software to number crunch quickly – these advances have made no difference, to the number of traders who win. If you think about it though, the reason why the number of winning traders has not increased is obvious:


Forex Markets CANNOT be Predicted!


Forex market do NOT move to science and this should be obvious to anyone - because if they could, we would all know the price in advance and there would be no market!


The Forex market is a market of probabilities not certainties and the reason for this again is obvious:


Humans make the price of any currency and their creatures of emotion, not of logic. The “far out investment crowd” believe that markets move to some higher force but they don't and you get a lot of clever nerds, who think because they are clever, they can beat the market with science but prices are unpredictable and they can't.


The fact is if you want to win at Forex trading, you can but you must focus on trading the odds and that means scientific and complex currency trading strategies, simply cannot help you.


Use a Simple System and Trade the Odds


In Forex trading, simple systems work best and always will and the reason for this is – a simple system, will be more robust in the brutal world of FX trading and have fewer elements to break. If you think, the more Forex trading indicators you cram into your trading strategy the better - Your wrong!


If you want to win at currency trading use a robust, simple system and you will do just fine and always keep the next point in mind...


Perfection is NOT Possible but Making Money is!


If you want to be right all the time and feel clever, don't trade FX. If you can accept that perfection is not possible but if you run your profits and cut your losses, you can win. Forex trading is not about beating the market, you can never do that - but you can win and make a lot of money and that's what Forex trading is all about.


Final Words


50 years ago, 95% of FX traders lost money, the same ratio of traders lose today and the same ratio will lose in 50 years time. The fact is Forex trading success is based upon – A simple method which is applied with rigorous discipline. This has always been the case and always will be – so stop trying to be clever and accept the market for what it is and play the odds and win.


Best Automated Currency Trading SoftwarePDFPrintE-mail
Written by Andrew11
Sunday, 07 March 2010

There are a huge number of Currency trading robots and Expert Advisor's you can buy and we review the major ones in our Forex Robot section of this site and the fact is all the cheap automated currency trading systems which cost under two hundred dollars and claim to give you a better performance than the word's top traders lose money. There are some good trading systems out there though and here we will look at why most automated software packages lose and how to find the few that win.

As the internet age emerged, so to did a huge number of get rich quick schemes and in all areas of finance including FX trading. They all make gains which are to good to be true; make a more money than the world's top fund managers, with less draw down, make no effort while doing so and the cost to you, is no more than a good night out at the bar. So why do they lose? Lets find out:


Simulated Back Tests Which Don't Repeat Due to Curve Fitting


All the heavily promoted track records, base there track records on back tests or simulations. This means they bend the system to fit the data and simply keep bending it until they get a truly extraordinary performance. One trader likened this to shooting at a barn door, blinded folded and then, going and drawing a circle around every shot, to make it look like a bulls-eye! No two segments of data, ever repeat in the same way again and these systems lose in real time trading.


Forex Robots and Money Management


When a track record is heavily curve fitted, the area to suffer is money management. An I have never seen any of the heavily promoted robots, have money management which is based on sound principles which means the trading system can't win over the long term – in short, most automated software packages take to much risk and eventually, the market blows them out the water.


Where's the Audited REAL TIME Track Record?


You get simulations and live results which the vendor says are true but the one thing you don't get is - an audited track record of real time gains by a reputable outside source. It should be obvious to any trader, that you don't get a better track record than the world's top fund managers with less draw down, for the price of a good night out. You don't see the evidence in terms of a real time trading record because there isn't one!


Automated Trading Software Which Makes Money


There are some systems that make money and if you look at the advertisement on the right side of this site, you can get a profitable currency trading robot for free; Richard Donchian's 4 Week Rule. The system is easy to understand works and will make great long term gains. Sure it has draw down but all the best systems do but follow it, focus on the long term and you will do just fine. If you want to buy a Expert Advisor make sure the track record has been audited and the source of the audit is revealed, so you know if it's from a reputable source.


Final Words


If you see a an automated currency trading system with a track record which looks to good to be true, chances are it is and the way to confirm your suspicion, is to look at the track record.


If you are looking for the best currency trading software, use the above check list and you will find the right trading system, to use in your currency trading strategy which will enable you to make some great trading profits in around 30 minutes a day or less.



Best Automated Forex Robot and Forex Trading Signals Providers Forex EA


Introduction
—————
Forex Robots are automated devices that trade the forex industry for you. They can be also known as expert advisors (EA’s) and can be referred to as automated trading software.

Positive aspects

Scalping EA’s that run throughout the quieter instances are amongst essentially the most profitable and have small probability. Even scalping robots can bring big earnings with tiny drawdowns.

You can find two broad classes of forex signals:

one. Forex signals generated by automation
2. Forex signals created immediately by genuine traders (authentic human beings)

The reduce straight for the chase, by far the most rewarding forex signals are these produced by traders who are still actively trader – these Constantly defeat out signals which have been produced by automation, irregardless in the procedure the automation is modeled following and irregardless of how nicely programmed (and back-tested) it truly is.

Nonetheless, forex signals created by automation are marketed far more intensely than individuals created by serious traders. This is certainly really a lot more an issue of individuals seeking to maximize their earnings from revenue commissions than precisely what is essentially very best to the trader. Automated signals can not respond to changes out there on account of news occasions or maybe to your organic drift that invariably happens. These are also confined to one of a several trading tactics. I’ve never ever identified any one who produced really good money at forex working with automated signals.

So, the initial move in hunting for that most successful forex signals will be to eradicate the automated signals and focus only within the human produced signals.

Accept Losses in Forex Trading


Accept Losses in Forex Trading

The lack of a proper trading plan which includes precise rules for entering and exiting a trade will most certainly guarantee failure over the long term. Beginners usually suffer from the same common ailments. They abandon trading plans purely on impulse because things are not going exactly as how they had envisioned. Repeatedly they use unreliable methods that fail to produce a profit. Many traders hold on to losing positions telling themselves "it is going to turn" when every indicator says otherwise because they cannot bear the thought of a loss.

Why do they torture themselves? Why don't they just identify what's going wrong and make a change? For some people recognizing that a trade or even a trading method is not working and making a change is easy, but for others it's very difficult. They have to look at their limitations admit that they have made a mistake and that's hard because it hurts our ego. Psychologically it's risky; it's often easier to fool ourselves.

Just keep going, living in a state of denial until your account is depleted. If you recognize any of these traits in yourself you must stop trading immediately.

Take a good look at what has been happening, try and identify the problem. If you look close enough you may see a pattern. This is why it is vital to record every trade and as much information about it as possible. You have to break out of old patterns and see things in a new light.

You will never be a successful trader if you continue to live in a state of denial. What can be done to return to reality? There is a lot you can do. First of all make sure you are not trading under stress. When stressed out you can't see clearly, you become rigid and unable to see alternative views. One of the easiest solutions is to trade smaller. The smaller the trade the less the stress, especially for the beginner. If you are experienced and in a losing streak reduce your contracts until you get your confidence returns. Some people need to take a break altogether. Get away from it all. Take your mind off the trading.

The second thing you can do is to make sure you have a life. Trading can be addictive especially when you are winning. Do not put all your emotional eggs in the trading basket. You need to have other roles that give your life meaning and purpose. By defining your identity in a variety of ways, you will not place un-natural importance on trading events. Therefore, you will be able to take losses in stride and look at your trading more objectively.

Finally, radical acceptance is a key mental strategy for coping with market uncertainty. Many traders make the mistake of thinking they can control the markets. Nobody can control the markets. We must learn to accept anything that comes our way and to trade accordingly. Adopt the attitude that trading is a journey and that all we can do is go where the markets take us.

To succeed on this journey you cannot afford to lose too much. Manage risk and just accept what you get and enjoy the ride. This way you will trade more freely and creatively. Don't live your life in denial.

Accept your limitations, work around them, and become a winning trader. Write out your trading plan with precise entry and exit points. Most important set your stops and mentally decide you will not break them. Test your system on paper and when confident test in real time with the minimum contract size. You will have losing trades, accept them with grace and go on to the next trade.

The Forex Establishment

While collecting data about the Forex market, it is important to know who the major players are. Who originally designed Forex, who are the major participants, who makes decisions that have a significant impact on the Forex market? This and more will be explored in “The Forex Establishment.” First, let’s examine what is an establishment.

What is an establishment?

Established interests, powers, businesses, individuals, and organizations, develop a territory in their own field. This is done by creating a paradigm; their own set of rules, objectives, and culture; associated with their field. ‘The Establishment’ originally was coined by British Journalist Henry Fairlie, in 1955:

'By the 'Establishment', I do not only mean the centres of official power—though they are certainly part of it—but rather the whole matrix of official and social relations within which power is exercised. The exercise of power in Britain (more specifically, in England) cannot be understood unless it is recognised that it is exercised socially.'[1][i]

The Forex Establishment is the Forex equivalent of those who control the Forex market by design, necessity, or other function. While modern Forex originated by the floating of the Dollar and the breakdown of the Breton Woods agreement, it has grown into something new. Those who were initially impacted by the floating of the US Dollar reacted to it in various ways. Some reacted by implementing advanced trading techniques such as hedging to combat a volatile currency environment. Others simply changed the way they did business.

What types of players move the Forex market?

· Banks

· Central Banks

· Governments

· Corporations

· Organizations (such as the IMF)

· Hedge Funds

· Forex Brokers

Who are the significant players, in each category?

Brokers

Brokers don’t have a natural place in Forex, as they do on the exchanges. Exchanges require customers to use a broker who has a seat on the exchange or an affiliate of one[ii]. This gives the exchange objectivity, and allows for brokers to compete with each other offering efficient pricing models for execution.

But since banks were unwilling to offer Forex trading for smaller, retail investors, brokers seized an opportunity offering account sizes as low as $1. Oanda has no new account minimum and it is possible to trade 1 unit (as opposed to a bank imposed 100,000 minimum).[iii]

Some statistics say that retail Forex now represents 5% of overall FX volume. Forex Blog “Forex Magnates” claims this number is closer to 2%, citing $118 Billion in July 2009[iv]. While this is not a large figure, it grew from zero in a period of 10 years. Orders are getting larger and brokers need solutions for liquidity, they are now some of the banks best customers for FX. Saxo Bank can auto-execute an order on major pairs up to 100 Million per click, and regularly processes orders for customers who trade 1 billion per order.

Brokers are also leading the technology development behind Forex. Banks mostly take the view of offering what is necessary to trade for their existing customers, whereas the brokers offer an edge to obtain new business. Banks have been slow to adapt to new technology, for many reasons but plainly; they have something that is outdated but works, so why create potential liability and expense without any guaranteed return? Banks like guarantees, and this type of thinking is what cost them missing a great business opportunity. Or maybe it saved them a lot of trouble, but the fact is that if the banks had invested in FX technology and offered Forex to retail customers, modern forex brokers such as Saxo Bank, Oanda, and others, would likely not exist at all.

Suddenly, in 2007 many banks started offering retail platforms, and in 2008 Citibank finally offered retail Forex trading using the Saxo Bank platform. This was a pyrrhic victory for retail Forex, for Saxo Bank, and a final defeat for the big banks to take the lead. Citibank being one of the world’s largest banks surely could find resources sufficient to build their own proprietary platform, but they chose to use an existing retail platform built by 2 traders publicly accused of defrauding and misleading investors in a ‘bucket shop’. The final irony sealing the argument is Citi is one of Saxo’s liquidity partners, so a customer of Citibank retail FX may deposit funds with an omnibus account at Citibank (custody customer funds account for Citi clients at Saxo) and while placing a large order on the Saxo Bank platform, Saxo may pass the trade through to Citi, if they are on the offer! So what then does Citibank need Saxo Bank’s platform for, a simple GUI?

Saxo Bank represents the “New Forex Establishment,” a growing number of companies who have been founded since 1990 that are setting standards in Forex.

Another significant broker that represents the “New Forex Establishment” is Oanda:

OANDA is an outgrowth of the Swiss Olsen Group and was created to serve as an internet trading platform to automate techniques based on the group's 20 years' worth of research in foreign exchange trading.[4] Much of OANDA's technology is based on algorithms published in the book High Frequency Finance [5], which was co-authored by Dr. Richard Olsen, a principal of OANDA and co-inventor of these algorithms. OANDA Corporation was incorporated in 1996 in the state of Delaware, and initially provided online access to live currency information that was previously inaccessible to the public at large. At its inception, OANDA.com offered free currency conversion tools, tables of historical data, news, and analysis through a multilingual interface [6], and other information likely to be of use to international travelers. In 2001, OANDA launched FXTrade, an online Forex trading system designed with the aim to lower the costs and risks associated with Forex trading. Some of its more innovative features included flexible trade sizes, 24/7 trading, instant settlement on all transactions, continuous interest payments calculated second-by-second throughout the day, and no lot size restrictions (that is, traders could buy and sell any number of units, all at the same rate). In 2005, OANDA published The Forex Trader's Bill of Rights to outline its philosophy of what Forex markets can and should offer to Forex traders. In 2007, OANDA offered spot trading in an expanded list of currencies, including the Chinese Yuan.[7]In 2008 OANDA launched FXGlobalTransfer, an automated online foreign currency transfer service designed to offer corporate clients a low-cost, convenient, and secure method of sending funds globally at any time from any computer connected to the Internet. The same year, OANDA launched FXPedia, an online wiki of Forex information and commentary, and FXConsulting, a consulting service for corporate hedging.[v]

Banks

The top 20 Forex trading banks in terms of liquidity, according to a Euromoney poll:

· Deutche Bank

· UBS

· Barclays Capital

· RBS

· Citi

· JP Morgan

· HSBC

· Goldman Sachs

· Credit Suisse

· BNP Paribas

· Morgan Stanley

· Bank of America

· Societe Generale

· Dresdner Kleinwort

· State Street

· Standard Chartered

· RBC Capital Markets

· Calyon

· ABN Amro

· Merrill Lynch

The article also states that:

Embattled banks boosted by performance in booming FX markets – Deutche Bank retains top position; Highest-ever turnover and client activity recorded in the survey.[vi]

Not only do these banks represent “The Forex Establishment,” their FX divisions are highly successful:

Buying and selling bonds, currencies and commodities probably boosted trading revenue, excluding writedowns, above the 5.07 billion-euro ($6.7 billion) record in the first three months of 2007, people familiar with the matter said. The rebound will propel earnings at the Frankfurt-based bank, which posted a 4.8 billion-euro loss in the final quarter of 2008, analysts said.[vii]

Many of these firms’ Forex trading activities are not public; the above information is derived from public financials which are of a general ledger nature. Those financials do not explain how profits were obtained by trading currencies, using what types of strategies, and in what amounts.

What we do know, there have been many releases in the press from firms such as Goldman Sachs and Deutche Bank about the success of their trading operations. In fact, some of the articles indicate these were the only profitable units in their business, and in some cases were at least partially responsible from preventing firms from bankruptcy or takeover.

Revenue from fixed-income, currencies and commodities, the company’s biggest unit, was a record $6.8 billion in the second quarter, which compared with $6.56 billion in the first quarter and $2.38 billion in last year’s second quarter. [viii]

This is quite a statement, but how much of that $6.56 billion was derived from Currency trading vs. other trading operations?

Central Banks

Central Banks are the real driver of the Forex market as they are the manufacturer of money. Only a central bank has the real power to create money. While banks create money by issuing debt, as does the treasury in the US, Central Banks have the authority, charter, and ability to create money that didn’t before exist. This money can be used domestically to purchase various assets, or it can be used to purchase other money – which is where Forex becomes interesting. This is an efficient measure of how much the US Dollar is worth not in terms of purchasing power, but compared with another currency, for example the Euro. This game is more subtle on the major liquid currencies and much more obvious on less liquid exotics.

In the case of Zimbabwe, the most extreme example in recent history of hyperinflation, the inflation rate reached 26,470.8% in 2008[ix]. Hyperinflation is caused simply by the oversupply of money, created by the central bank issuing more money than the market could reasonably absorb. This is the millionaire dilemma of capitalism – we all want to be billionaires, but if we all had a billion dollars how much would you bill your neighbor to cut his grass (assuming you would even consider it) – at least $10 Million. Imagine you owned a bank, and you could add as many zeros to your account as you want. Soon you would realize the dilemma, that the more you gave yourself and spent it, your vendors would also become richer and demand more, in addition to spending your money on other vendors and so on, until your money became less and less valuable. According to hyperflation experts, this can be the beginning of a ‘vicious circle’ in which you need to create more money in order to create the same amount of money in the last cycle, due to the declining value, adding even more downward pressure on the value of money.

What prevents central banks from creating large amounts of capital is the potential for hyperinflation as in Zimbabwe.

Each central bank is very different in terms of ownership, operations, structure, function, design, and powers. Western countries have adopted an ‘independent’ model where the government supposedly doesn’t influence bank policy, because the temptation is for governments to print as much money as they need to fund their social programs which will bring more voters – a natural political temptation.

In smaller, more tightly controlled central banks that are less independent, they are more proactive in protecting a countries wealth and currency.

Hedge Funds

Forex hedge funds are a small part of the hedge fund community. Barclay Hedge lists Currency Traders with Managed Futures programs the top 10 having only 1.7 Billion AUM (see on right)[x].

Bruce Kovner

Bruce Stanley Kovner (born 1945 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American businessman. He is the founder and Chairman of Caxton Associates, LLC, a hedge fund that trades a global macro strategy and is considered amongst the world’s top and largest 10 hedge funds with an estimated $14 billion under management. In 2006, Kovner had an estimated net worth of around $2.5 billion. Described as secretive even by family and friends, the 63-year old divorcee is perhaps one of the least known New York City billionaires outside of professional circles. His Caxton Associates despite the large amount of assets under management is known to be amongst the top 25 most enigmatic and secretive hedge funds globally. [xi]

Axel Merk

Axel Merk is the Founder and President of Merk Investments. Merk is an expert on macro trends, hard money, international investing and on building sustainable wealth. An authority on currencies, he is a pioneer in the use of strategic currency investing to seek diversification. Axel Merk is a sought after speaker and author on topics ranging from the economy, gold and currencies to sustainable wealth and personal finance, as well as a regular guest and contributor to the business media around the world.[xii]

Having pioneered the currency asset class as head of Merk Investments, LLC, Axel Merk suggests that these times with inflation looming, the U.S. dollar failing, equity markets remaining volatile and economic recovery stumbling might call for investors to further diversify their portfolios with baskets of foreign currencies. Axel, who strongly recommends The Gold Report as a 'brilliant resource' in his about-to-be released book (Sustainable Wealth: Achieving Financial Security in a Volatile World of Debt and Consumption), looks at the wider picture too. For instance, he tells us that while a world reserve currency is impractical, ungovernable, unworkable and unlikely, diversification within each country's reserves would make sense in the global economy.[xiii]

http://www.merkfund.com/

Merk has just launched a retail Forex product:

Money manager Axel Merk has a proposition for average investors: play the currency markets like a hedge fund for a mere $2,500. Normally the world's foreign exchange markets -- where dollars, euros and yen exchange hands at lightning speed and in enormous sums -- are off limits to people who are saving a few hundred dollars a week for retirement or college tuition.[xiv]

FX Concepts

FX Concepts is one of the world’s oldest and most established independent currency managers. For more than 20 years, we have been helping investors generate sustainable returns while managing their currency risk. Our world-class research team provides currency forecasts and market insights to institutional money managers and investors on a subscription basis.[xv]

John Henry

Founded in 1982, John W. Henry & Company, Inc. (JWH®) is an alternative asset manager that is one of the longest established managed futures advisors in the world. Utilizing global markets in foreign exchange, financial; futures and commodities, JWH historically has generated returns non-correlated to those of equity and fixed income investments. The firm manages assets for retail, institutional and private investors in the Americas, Europe and Asia. JWH's 6 investment programs, and funds for which JWH acts as manager or co-manager, offer investors a wide variety of investment solutions to suit various portfolios and investment strategies.[xvi]

John Henry has been listed as one of the largest currency traders on Barclay Hedge in terms of AUM figures.

Michael Marcus

Michael Marcus is a commodities trader who, in less than 20 years, is reputed to have turned his initial $30,000 into $80 million. Marcus met his mentor Ed Seykota while working as an analyst and learned money management from him. … who went on to become one of the world's biggest currency speculators. He made a fortune in gold and another fortune in cocoa before moving into trading tanker rates and other indices in the shipping industry. He parlayed a thirty-thousand-dollar stake into an eighty-million-dollar fortune. He owned ten houses in every beautiful place in the world, many of which he had never slept in. His wife left him, but Marcus was too busy to notice. Trading from a beachside mansion in California, he was waking up every two hours throughout the night to place three-hundred-million-dollar bets on currency markets in Australia, Hong Kong, Zurich, and London. His secret? Marcus is a chartist. He is a trend follower who keeps an eye on market penetration and resistance.[xvii]

There are many other significant Forex funds, too many to name in an article. Importantly, there seems to be no common ground for these traders. They all come from various backgrounds, unlike other more established industries. The National Security Council[xviii], purportedly the most powerful committee in the world, has accepted members who all are 1 or 2 degrees of Henry Kissinger (meaning they either worked or went to school with Kissinger or one of his close associates).[xix] One might think that due to the significance and size of the Forex market, a similar crowd rules, but it does not.

Institutional Funds

Pimco

The Pacific Investment Management Company, LLC (PIMCO), is an investment company and runs the Total Return fund, the world’s largest bond fund. Founded in 1971 in Newport Beach, California, with just US$12 million in assets under management at the time, it is now owned by Allianz, a global insurance company based in Munich, Germany. Mohamed A. El-Erian is PIMCO's chief executive officer and co-chief investment officer along with co-founder William “Bill” Gross. Gross manages PIMCO's Total Return Fund, which has over $150 billion under management. As of March 31, 2009, PIMCO in total had over US$756 billion in assets under management and more than 1,200 employees.[1] On May 16, 2007, former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan was hired as a special consultant by PIMCO and he will participate in PIMCO’s quarterly economic forums and speak privately with the bond manager about Fed interest rate policy.[2][xx]

With Pimco’s nearly $1 Trillion in Assets Under Management, Pimco’s international bond plays can move the Forex market. While Pimco doesn’t have a primary focus on speculating in Forex, they do implement hedging on foreign bond purchases.[xxi] Bill Gross is frequently making statements about Foreign Exchange, such as a recent article:

Bill Gross, who runs the $169 billion Pimco Total Return Fund, is also warning the U.S. currency will fall. Holders of dollars should diversify before central banks and sovereign wealth funds do the same because of concern government budget deficits will deepen, Gross said in June. Gross’ fund has returned 12 percent in the past year, outperforming 96 percent of its peers, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.[xxii]

Industry Statistics: Global Fund Management Industry

Forex as a daily turnover trades $3.98 Trillion according to the infamous Triennial Central Bank Survey[xxiii]. Who is trading these vast sums, certainly not travelers? The Global Fund Management Industry is trading Currencies both for speculation in Forex, but mostly to settle international bond and equity portfolios.

Assets of the global fund management industry increased for the fourth year running in 2007 to reach a record $74.3 trillion. This was up 14% on the previous year and double from five years earlier. Growth during the past three years has been due to an increase in capital inflows and strong performance of equity markets. Pension assets totaled $28.2 trillion in 2007, with a further $26.2 trillion invested in mutual funds and $19.9 trillion in insurance funds. Together with alternative assets, such as those of sovereign wealth funds, hedge funds, private equity funds and funds of wealthy individuals, assets of the global fund management industry probably totaled around $110 trillion at the end of 2007.The US was by far the largest source of funds under management in 2007 with nearly a half of the world total. It was followed by the UK with 9% and Japan with 6%. The Asia-Pacific region has shown the strongest growth in recent years. Countries such as China and India offer huge potential and many companies are showing an increased focus in this region [xxiv]

Seeking Alpha, these fund managers invest in Foreign Bonds, Equities, and other Foreign Currency denominated assets, driving Forex.

The new technology establishment

Meta Quotes Software Company[xxv] was in the right place at the right time offering the ideal platform. A free, easily obtainable, easy to download and install in Windows, offering anyone the ability to program their own automated trading system and run it through the tester. This is very thrilling and they are then compelled to open a live account with any broker offering the MT4 system. This is a great marketing tool, because customer demand can be a powerful governing force of a corporate budget. Now, MT4 is ubiquitous in Forex, both retail and institutional.

A more developed technical establishment is the Fix Protocol. FIX is used in non-FX markets so it has some support for r&d by large equity broker-dealers with big budgets. Regardless, FIX has become the standard messaging protocol for API FX Trading.

Who wants to support the US Dollar?

Contrary to popular belief, it is very questionable who really wants a strong dollar.

It would seem that the US Government and large US Corporations would want a strong dollar, and the common belief that if the dollar is strong that is good for the US Economy in general. However, currency expert Marc Chandler doesn’t agree, and he explains his argument in detail. In his most recent book by Bloomberg Press, “Making sense of the Dollar” Chandler explores many myths and common misconceptions, most notably; he claims that it doesn’t matter if the dollar is strong or weak. He claims that when the dollar is down, US companies who own a great majority of their assets overseas, profit because of a strong non-USD asset base. He also points out, that during the recent administration Strong Dollar Policy, the US Dollar lost considerable value.

If Marc Chandler were a lone author living in a small cabin in the woods his arguments may strike some as lacking credibility. But Mr. Chandler could not be a more credentialed FX expert, working as the Chief Forex Strategist for prestigious bank Brown Brothers Harriman. He previously worked at HSBC and has been quoted in many financial media news articles such as the Financial Times, Barron’s, and Currency Trader.

What this proves is not what the prevailing bias is for the USD in the US. It proves there is no consensus; there are differing views inside an economy whether their currency should be weak or strong. These forces may counterbalance each other internally in addition to competing with external forces. The conclusion is, whether Marc Chandler is right or wrong, there are significant forces inside the US (for example US based exporters) who want a weak dollar. Right or wrong, these forces influence Forex rates. This is a part of why Forex is such a complex and interesting market.

What corn seller wants the price of Corn to decline? What CEO wants his stock price to collapse? Most markets have a bullish bias, where many participants, usually on the sell side, will do nearly anything to promote the purchase of their commodity or security.

If there are domestic interests, in any country, worried that Forex traders can undermine their authority to support their currency they are gravely mistaken. If anything, they are a natural extra arm of any administration – no Forex trade can outlast a Central Bank intervention (no one has deeper pockets than a Central Bank!), they will quickly get on the bandwagon, follow the trend, and return profits to their clients or their own accounts. In other words, they can just as easily bid up the US Dollar as they could offer it down.

Alpha by money creation

When a central bank creates money, usually it is created in the form of loans to banks and large institutions such as governments. But in a Forex intervention, money is created by purchasing other money. In the case of the Central Bank of Japan, they will sell JPY (of which they have an unlimited supply) in order to drive down the value of the JPY so exporters profits will be boosted as foreigners can purchase cheaper Japanese goods with their strong non-JPY currencies[xxvi]. When the Japanese central bank intervenes by purchasing foreign currencies, whoever is the holder of those currencies is the beneficiary. Multiplied with leverage, this can be a very profitable FX trade. It benefits all participants in the economy of the foreign currency, but to have a direct pecuniary impact it needs to be reflected in an FX account by holding a short JPY position during the intervention, for example being long EUR/JPY or USD/JPY.

This is a financial anomaly, and contradicts the economic adage there is no such thing as a free lunch. This is free money in all manners of understanding. Of course, you would be losing if you were long JPY during an intervention. This trade, with no leverage, generated 33% in 2 years.

Other markets such as the stock market need a loser for a winner. This is one reason why in FX there can be multiple winners, statistically speaking, there can be more winners than losers both in real terms and on a percentage basis. In this USD/JPY trade above, the Central Bank of Japan is the loser. But since they are the primary source of money, they aren’t a loser in the traditional understanding of a trade, because their goal is financial stability of the Japanese economy. A weak JPY does boost imports so the net gain for Japan is positive. It is a subtle way of financing your customers. The Central Bank of Japan is giving you money to buy their products.

If we can for a moment set aside the individual trade technicalities, those profits, in aggregate, are absorbed by the global market. They are spread around between the USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, NZD, AUD, and others. It’s important to understand that these profits are only tangible if you have a direct FX position in the JPY. Otherwise benefits will be felt in terms of purchasing power of the currency and cost of products, but this is less direct.

Necessary data

Currently, there are few sources to obtain quality valid Forex data. The CFTC publishes a quarterly report of all regulated US based FDMs, but the statistics offered will only tell us about the capitalization of these firms. This is valuable, but it is only a small piece of a larger puzzle. What brokers and banks could publish that would be very interesting, could include:

· Total number of profitable accounts from open to close

· Average % win for losing accounts

· Average % loss for winning accounts (From open until today)

· Total profit made from all customers

· Total loss created by all customers

· Profit made by FDMs from dealing operations, from commissions, from other services (profit structure breakdown)



For Banks:



· % of Forex accounts used for Hedging vs. Speculation

· Average profit and losses for hedgers vs. speculators

· Amount of profit earned per trade by the bank

· Profit made by the bank in proprietary Forex trading



Some companies are willing to disclose information answering the above questions unofficially.

That statement cannot be substantiated because this information was gained in confidence.

Such is the world of Forex.



The Forex Establishment is being redefined rapidly. The defunct Lehman Brothers was a top 10 Forex liquidity provider. Technology standards have been established by non-financial software startups from obscure locations. The only certainty about The Forex Establishment is that it will adapt at an ever increasing rate.
