The Path to Success in Currency Trading

by

Currency markets have grown significantly in the last one decade and have thus become a lucrative investment channel for many people who are average risk takers and yet want a bigger return on their capital. Sometimes called forex trading, currency trading operates on the basic principle of buying low and selling high. The only difference in this case is that the individual is buying currency and not goods or services. As is common with stocks, the price of buying and selling currencies fluctuates regularly, availing an opportunity for the shrewd investor to make huge profits. The concept is as simple as basic arithmetic, such that everyone, just about anyone, can grasp and master it to stardom.

The beginning point of currency trading is education through research and consultation, whereby the investor learns all there is to learn about the currency markets. The internet is rich with such materials and reports but alternatively a local investment adviser and shrewd investors with the experience can be consulted. After learning, the next step is to specialize in just a few currencies, basically because the world is full of currencies most of which you can’t track closely. Zero in on a few and learn their trends by heart. At this stage it is advisable that you get yourself one of the numerous currency trading software available in the market. This will be a useful tool to monitor, evaluate, and analyze the forex markets until and even after you adequately master the game.

Start by predicting trends in the market every morning and evaluating your accuracy every evening. Before you put your money out, ensure that

Questioning the US Treasury’s Bailout Plan

by

The US corporate finance sector has undergone thick turmoil in the last one decade. To an extent, the current chaos should have been seen coming, from afar. With consecutive catastrophic losses, rising and overpowering unemployment, and little government control in how institutions bear risk, it just had to happen. Bad stuff has happened, jobs have been lost, careers thwarted, and portfolios shredded. Yet the worst has not happened and still can.

Realizing this, the US government has seen the need to bailout some of the key financial institutions and help them regain a footing in the cutthroat market. The economy is very sore now, having watched the crisis unfold and then begin to bite. As such, the US Treasury bailout plan has a multifaceted role of rescuing banks, protecting their consumers, and restoring the confidence of investors in the market. These three roles must be met and played by the government if the economy is to pick momentum soon and wipe itself of the shame of the mortgage crash.

In February this year, US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner announced the administration’s set of measures that

Investment Basics of Money Flow

by

Money Flow (MF) can be assessed and technically analyzed using various component indicators. These indicators are vital to an investor when deciding when to make entries and exits into a specific trading program. Money Flow, as an indicator, is synonymously used to refer to the Money Flow Index (MFI). It was Marc Chaikin who developed the money flow theorem, using both the price and the volume as a calculating principle of the price action in any trading issue. When the results of a particular trading day or period have been calculated, the numbers are compared with those of previous day or period to establish whether the MF gained or lost for that particular day or period.

The flow can also be calculated using the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which only differs from the MFI in that MFI accounts for both price and volume, whereas RSI only factors price as the variable.

To calculate Money Flow, an investor uses an average price, which increases after every subsequent bar.  He then determines the average price by reducing the average price of

Islamic Finance World in a Scholarly Approach

by

Most investors outside the corridors of Islamic finance have a negative perception of trading opportunities in Islamic nations. This has been cultivated by a history of limitations posed by religious principles applied in almost all sectors of the market. It has been, and still is, a mandatory requirement that all trade be conducted in strict accordance with the Islamic law. Re-evaluation of these requirements has been ongoing, following the influence of western markets. Consequently, there has been a redefinition of Islamic finance principles to an extent that offers non-Muslim investors the go-ahead to seek markets in areas predominantly Muslim.

To understand this liberal but silent movement of the Islamic finance world, a scholarly approach is the most ideal. Islamic economics as a term can be used to refer to the application of the Islamic law in the conventional economic activity of a market segment, whether or not such application is in free will or by force. Islam and finances have a meeting point, in which the financial interests of market players are met at certain conditions required by the religion. That meeting point is where the Islamic finance world operates. This in turn demands the establishment of an Islamic economic system, based on saving, spending, and investing policies accepted by trading partners.

After such an understanding, prominent Shia scholars like Mahmoud Baqir al-Sadr and Mohammad Taleghani have helped redefine the enforcement of

by

This simple means are getting far outdated, especially in this information age, and better approaches need to be adopted.
