The Nigerian Internet Estate: the Myths, Facts and the Reality I (online Forex Trading)

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

As customary to my write ups on this article board and others, I?ll continue to assert the fact that Nigeria is a force to be reckoned with as regards every known endeavor on the face of this planet called Earth, and the internet is no exception, it is left for the rest of the world most especially the United States to fathom this cold hard fact out. Well I would have titled this piece ?the online conspiracies of the west against Nigeria? well that would sound cynic and inane. It will look as we are beggars at the rich man?s table waiting for crumbs that falls off his table; when we are kings in the making. However, it has become imperative that we will take on destiny instead of waiting lazily for it to come beckoning at us. But do you know one thing my friend? Your destiny cannot come to you except you shrug off the ashes of defeat, rise to your feet, and then take what rightly belongs to you. Sorry if I have digressed from the main topic of the day, well I was trying to crave your indulgence as is always the case with me. Like I said earlier on, Nigeria remains the biggest internet estate and can compete favorably with India on the third world country category and in the real sense can give the west a run for their money; and as a member of cyber world is not immune to the fistful of online fallacies that pervades the internet daily. But I?ll only deal with this ill wind the as it concerns we Nigerian.

One thing that has remained obvious to we Nigerians especially those who wants to make a decent living doing decent business online is that we are greatly disadvantaged because of some pre-conceived notion of the developed economies against Africa and Nigeria in particular, but I wont dwell much on the bad side as an optimist but will deal on the possible and well established side as a realist. What do I mean by this? The internet has become a real estate and as such many people world wide are reaping the benefits of this innovation and smiling to the bank every other day, so my main concern is to get you acquainted with the common myth that pervades the internet daily and the obvious.

Recently, online FOREX TRADING has become a niche that every person with little or no experience on money matters wants to get involved in within a short period of time (most attend one to two days seminar) and want to start reaping from it, stop! I?ll love to ask, why is it that we still have few people that are rich from trading FOREX with all the hype associated with it? Well have you stooped to think this over? But my friend like I titled this article I?ll love to list the myths, facts and the reality of online FOREX trading. Personally I don?t trade FOREX but I know of an array of people who do; and from the fillers I get daily, it is not as rosy as it sounds. You loose money and you gain money, however the tendency of loosing far out weighs that of gaining if you don?t know the fundamentals of the trade. Knowing the fundamentals is not some thing you gain the knowledge in 1, 2, 3 or even 7 days as those who advertise it in dailies will tell you. What the organizers of various FOREX seminars are after is to gain back what they have loosed trading through levying outrageous seminar fees on the participants. At the seminar they don?t take the time to explain the technical and fundamentals of the market, terms like pips, bull traps, Fibonacci analysis etc are not well explained: leaving the participant more confused than ever. But like I said earlier on, trading with no fore knowledge of the aforementioned points makes trading an experience not worth the venture.

Still on online FOREX trading, it will be unfair if I don?t mention the benefits of this online money making venture even if I?m not trading this very lucrative market (yet). Basically FOREX trading exceeds about 1.3 trillion dollars daily, so it will be mediocre of a person to jump into a market as large as this with no formal knowledge of the happenings. However ,it becomes expedient of the person to get fully into the know of this liquid market before getting his hands burnt in the process of wanting to make 100 pips a day as most of the self acclaimed FOREX experts promise you when you trade on their systems. Like I always do when posting any article, I try to make detailed research (even if I know little or not) before coming to press, and when I do it is in the form of a personal experience. While this FOREX rave reached fever pitch, every person wanted to tap into this market to reap bountifully; I decided to make my own in road. Daily, I hit every search engine on the net for a detailed report, I subscribed to every ezine, news letter, and every available publication that deals with the subject. From my findings I observed that the requirements of this market is quite tasking, however if all these requirements are met, the market is worth the venture, what are the requirements I?m talking of: they include a laptop computer connected to the internet; as you need this to enhance the mobility of the market, a domiciliary account, and a form of identity which could come in form of an international passport or national identity card and a plat form to trade on.

One day I saw an advert on a daily on a FOREX seminar that?ll last for about two days, and within these two days you will be taught all the basics required to start making between 30 to 40 pips daily (note: a pip is worth about 10 dollars). I did not attend the seminar as the seminar fee was too much, not that I can?t afford it but because the money was too much for a seminar that will last a couple of days. So I took the address of the FOREX firm and decided to pay them a visit and perhaps make more enquiries. On getting there I met a lady who looked more like a cleaner than a FOREX expert, as I was expecting to see a person who looked like those who work in wall street or if I want to sound modest like some one who works for one of the banks, then how can such a person teach me the basics of the trade for me to start making 50 pips every day!. I thought may be if she really is an expert as she claims, I figure she should be making good money as a FOREX expert and at least look good for her troubles. Is not like I?m saying that there aren?t people here in Nigeria who are doing good trading FOREX, but what I?m saying is that they are very few, this is the fact and the sooner it downs on you the better. I don?t want to sound cynical but in this business is very good for you to be very truthful to your audience, telling them the reality of every situation, instead of leading them falsely by reporting fallacies and stuff.

On the contrary, FOREX trading is a niche and can not be ignored as it has enriched many Nigerians (the few who know the rudiments of the business) as I know of a guy who takes home close to 30 to 40 pips any time he trades, do you know his secret? He sells when others are buying, and sells when others are buying. He knows where to make his stop loss and quit when it really mattered, he understands the basic trends mostly the fundamental, since with it you have a clue as to how the currencies are performing in the market relative to how the various big economies are faring. One other fact in relation to a myth pervading the scenario is that FOREX is not a vocation as the ?experts? will tell you. It is not some thing you do on a part time basis; rather I will say it is more of a career, since most traders do it full time. Why this is so is that you can dwell on a chart a whole day waiting for a favorable signal to begin trading, while you are in your office waiting for the required signal, your boss will be telling the secretary to prepare your sack letter and pay-off. But if you learn the ropes you work smart as a FOREX trader, knowing the best times to trade; then you can jolly well make it a vocation, rather than a career as earlier speculated. The secret is that most FOREX traders don?t trade every day. This is another fact, you only trade when there are auspicious signs. Another secret is contentment (avoid being unnecessarily greedy), when you make a good move that gives you 20 to 30 pips, is usually advisable to quit at that juncture even if you see another favorable trend. Usually such trends end with you loosing the money you already made. So be careful, as it could be very enticing as well as deceitful

Forex Education – 5 Essential Facts For Novice Traders Learn Them Or Lose!

Monday, December 21st, 2009

If you want to win at Forex trading you need to get the right Forex education from the start or you will lose. Here we will give some essential facts you need to know to avoid the mistakes of the losing majority…

Let’s start with the fact that 95% of traders lose money and that’s a huge percentage however the good news is anyone can learn to trade successfully.

To win at Forex trading, you need to understand certain facts which relate to both your method and mindset and here they are:

1. You Don’t Get Rich Following Forex Robots

Most of these are sold for a couple of hundred dollars and the vendor tells you that you will make an income for life with no effort. The claims in most instances laughable but people believe the claims and lose their money.

Before you buy a system think about it; an income for life for a couple of hundred dollars, to good to be true? Of course it is! Avoid these systems or lose.

2. You Can Predict Markets with Science

This is just ridiculous because if such a theory did exist, there would be no market, as we would all know the price ahead of time. Predicting is hoping or guessing and your predictions will end up as accurate as your horoscope.

Trade the reality of price change only and leave prediction to the far out crowd and losers.

3. Complex Theories are Better than Simple Ones

The reverse is actually true; as markets move to probabilities not certainties, a simple system will be more robust and have fewer elements to break. Never fall for the complicated mathematical system will beat the market it can’t.

Always remember simple is best!

4. You Wont Face Losses

If you were to believe a lot of so called experts, you would think drawdowns are small and last a day or two – but the fact is even the best traders lose for weeks and drawdown is related to risk.

You need to be prepared for a drawdown of 30 – 50% at some point and expect it to last for weeks not days. Sure you can still win but you must ride these losing periods out and that requires the next trait – discipline.

5. Discipline the key to Forex Success

Discipline is the ability to keep your emotions out of your trading and keep your losses small. Most traders simply cannot do this, as they lack confidence and courage to stick to their plan but it’s the key element you need to succeed.
If you can’t trade your system with discipline you don’t have one.

The Road to Forex Success

Is open to anyone and anyone can learn a method which can make money; if this is combined with the correct mindset to apply the system, currency trading success will follow.

Always remember learning a trading system is easy, executing it is the harder part – but if you understand this, you can see that if you get the right Forex education and adopt the right mindset, you can win and make big gains long term trading Forex.
