How To Choose Your Forex Broker ??!

The best thing to do is to find these legitimate companies to stay away from fraudulent ones. However, most new traders fall prey to these scammers because of their savory offers.
Don't get fooled by the companies that advertise high profits for minimal risks. The fact is that, if you want to earn high profits, then you are likely subjected to high risks as well. Higher rate of profit means higher risk.

So, always stay on the safer side. If you're looking for a forex trading broker, and since each broker is part of a certain company, make sure that you select a government registered company. In signing any contract with them, double check if they are registered or certified brokers. This is one basic precaution that will prevent any misfortune that you might encounter in the future.
The job of reducing the risk is entirely yours, not that of the broker; so if the company offers or promises little risks, guaranteed profits, and the like, that is a sure sign that they are there to make a fool out of you.

Even if you are not a professional trader, a little use of the common sense can help in long run.

A Forex Market Order

This is an order to buy or sell a given currency at the current market price. This means that the trader will be buying at the “current” ask or selling at the “current” bid that is quoted. The market order can be used to enter or exit trades. When placing a market order, the currency trader specifies the currency pair that he wants to buy or sell and the number of lots or contracts he wants to trade.

With most currency trading platforms, this order is placed with a single click and is executed instantly at the current rate quoted.
Often small market makers are unable to fill market orders instantly and usually re-quote traders. This can be a major source of problems as unnecessary costs of trading are incurred that can affect performance over time and the profitability of each trade.
However, this type of order is very popular with certain trading strategies i.e. strategies which react to market conditions and require instantaneous execution of a trading position, ether to enter or exit.

Buying New Highs and Selling New Lows

One of the oldest and most powerful money management strategies used to enter into and exit out of trades is using new highs and new lows over a certain period of time.An example would be to sell a new 10-day low to enter into the trade and use a new 10-day high as your trailing protective stop.

This allows one to trade on the daily chart without having to follow the market throughout day. To set your trailing stop, you just have to check the daily chart after the 5PM Eastern close to see what the highest high of the 10 previous days was. If it was different from the previous day’s stop level, you just move your stop, if not, you leave it alone.

You can do this until the market comes back up to stop you out, meaning you are trying to get the most out of the move. The key is to only trade in the direction of the trend as that is where you will find some of the biggest moves.

much as a new 40-day high or low to enter into or exit out of a trade. You can also use this approach on an intraday chart, although I would recommend using higher values.

Perhaps a 20-period high or low on the 4-hour or hourly chart would be more appropriate than a 10-period high or low. You have to check to make sure. But it is easy to backtest this approach as it is easy to identify new highs and lows….either they are or they aren’t. The key to trading on the intraday charts is once again to only trade in the direction of the daily trend.

While this money management approach may not be perfect, it is better than most money management strategies used in the markets and is relatively easy to use. That makes it a valuable tool worth looking into by traders who currently struggle with how to get into and out of a trade

Where to place stops

We stop out of a trade when we no longer want to hold onto that particular position. The question that arises is: WHY do we want to get out of that trade?

There can be 2 reasons for stopping out of a trade. EITHER the market tells us that our intrinsic

View or Directional Assessments itself was wrong. OR we stop out of a trade (even if we still believe in our basic Bullish or Bearish reading) because we think we can establish another position at a better level than the previous one.

The effort should be to choose a meaningful SL which is neither too close to the entry to get activated soon after entry (only to have the market go back in the original direction thereafter), nor so far away from the entry that we have no time or space left for follow up action.

The difficult part about the paragraph above is that it requires us to have a Trading Plan or Strategy and to choose our Entry much more carefully than we tend to do, in accordance with that plan.

Follow through action required we come back to the reasons for wanting to stop out. In the first case, when our directional reading has been proved wrong, we should look to enter into a trade in the opposite direction - a case of Stop-and-Reverse (SAR). It needs to be pointed out here that it is NOT necessary to SAR at the same instance and level all the time. If you are an intra-week (or longer) trader, you can enter into a reverse trade after stopping out of the original trade, allowing yourself time to reformulate your strategy.

Throughout the week your positions may fluctuate and ForexGen will take no action. We only require you to respect the margin requirements by Friday 23:00 GMT and before holidays.

“No maintenance margin policy” means if your positions go below the margin requirements, we don’t close your account or even give you margin calls. However, if you approach the level where the loss of your open positions approaches the balance of your account, you will be stopped out and your positions will be closed.
