Start With a Practice Account (Part I)

by Ahmad Hassam

The best way for new traders to get a handle on what currency trading is all about is to open a practice account. Almost every forex broker offers a free practice account to new clients. All you need to do is to sign up with any good forex broker.

Practice accounts give you the great chance to experience the forex market without losing your real money. You can see how the price changes at different times of the day. Practice accounts are funded with virtual money. So you are able to make trades with no real money at stake and gain experience in how margin trading works. The more you use the practice account, the more familiar you will become with how the forex market works. This will help build your confidence. Confidence is what you need when trading live.

How various currency pairs may differ from each other? How the forex market reacts to new information when major news and economic data is released. You can trade your practice account with real market conditions without any fear of losing money.

You will also learn using different market orders. How to manage an open position? Improve your understanding of how margin trading and leverage works and start analyzing charts and following technical indicators. You can experiment with different trading strategies and see how they work out in the real market conditions with any fear of losing your money.

Practice accounts are a great way to experience real forex markets. You can also test drive all the features and functionality of a brokers platform. However, one thing you will never be able to simulate on your practice account is the emotions involved in trading. Emotions will only come into play once you put your real money on the line.

You can trade the current price of the market using the click and deal feature of your brokers platform. You can also use market orders like the limit orders or the one cancels the other orders. There are many ways to pull the trigger in the forex market. Pulling the trigger means how to enter or exit a position.

Many traders dont want to leave an order that may or may not get executed. Most like the idea of opening a position by trading at the market. Most prefer the certainty of knowing that they are in the market.

Just specify the amount that you want to trade. Click on the buy or sell button to execute the trade. The forex trading platform responds back within a second or two with a pop-up message either confirming or not confirming that the position was opened. Most forex brokers provide live streaming prices that you can deal on with a simple click of your computer mouse.

Attempts to trade at the market can sometimes fail in very fast moving markets. This happens when prices are adjusting quickly like after a data release or break of a key technical level or price point.

Car Insurance: Steps for Making a Claim

by Amy Nutt

A car accident can be a harrowing and traumatic event. One will be shaken and often not thinking clearly. If you are involved in a car accident, you have to think about your condition as well as the events that took place because you will most likely have to file a auto insurance claim.

In order to prepare for the results of a car accident, the following steps should be followed in order to make a proper claim:

1. After an accident, your heart will be racing and you may be disorientated. You need to gather your thoughts and think about how to proceed. If you are hurt, and the car is not a danger such as on fire, retrieve your cell phone and call 911. If there is no emergency such as a serious injury, call the police. Check to see if anyone else is hurt. Ask for people who witnessed the accident to stay and talk to the police.

2. Swap contact information, including phone numbers, license plate numbers, and car insurance details with the other drivers involved in the accident. When the police arrive share all the details you remember about the accident so that they can write an official report that can be given to the insurance companies. Make sure you tell the police officers that you want a report. If the officers won’t do it because the accident took place on the property of an establishment like a store parking lot, then ask the store owner or a security guard to write something up. If you have a camera, take pictures of the accident scene that includes any vehicle damage.

3. Contact your insurance company, even if you are not at-fault. Also, compensation is based on the extent of fault so you need evidence to support your claim. Most insurance providers have a toll free claim number. Make sure you have your policy number available. If the other person is at-fault, you must make a claim. You are entitled to have the insurance company process your claim and resolve any disputes. Your insurance company will advise the other driver’s insurance provider that you are making a claim and seeking compensation. You will have to make a list of all items damaged. If the other driver does not have car insurance, you will have to negotiate directly or go to court. Some experts suggest that if the other party is at fault, you should file claims with both insurance providers.

4. Once you have submitted all of the paper work to the insurance companies, they will sort out the claim. You may have to speak to the other driver’s provider about your recollection of the accident. Your insurance provider will tell you what statement is required. Before you give your statement, write down what you remember about the accident.

5. A claims adjuster will inspect your damaged car in order to assess the costs of the loss. They will also assess if the damage can be repaired or if you require financial compensation. If you are financially compensated, the insurance company will write you a check minus the deductible. A car accident can be a very emotional time in one’s life. It is important to remember that you need to keep yourself together so that you can make the right decisions regarding your physical well-being as well as filing a car insurance claim.

Rollovers & Currency Trading

by Ahmad Hassam

Rollovers are transactions in currency trading where an open position from one value date or settlement date is rolled over to the next value date or settlement date. Rollovers are unique to the currency markets. Rollovers represent the intersection of interest rate markets and forex markets.

Rollover rates depend on the difference between the interest rates of the two currencies in the pair that you are trading. Only remember that what you are trading is in fact the good old cash. Dont forget currency is money after all.

When you are long on a currency, it is like having a deposit in a bank account. If you are short, its like take a loan from the bank. Just as you would expect to earn interest on a bank deposit and pay interest on a loan, you should expect an interest gain or an interest expense on holding a currency position over time.

Think of the open currency position as one currency with the positive balance (the currency you are long) and one with negative balance (the currency you are short). The difference between the interest rates between the two currencies is called the interest rate differential.

You should look for the base or benchmark lending rates in each country. The interest rates of two different countries apply because your accounts are in two different currencies. You can find the benchmark lending interest rates of different countries from any good financial website like the Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times, CNBC etc.

The larger the interest rate differential, the larger the impact from rollovers! The narrower the interest rate differential, the smaller the impact of the rollovers! Rollovers are usually carried out by your forex broker if you hold an open position past the settlement date.

Rollovers are applied to your open currency position by two offsetting trades that result in the same open position. Some online forex brokers apply the rollover rates by adjusting the average rate of your open position. Other forex brokers apply the rollover rates by applying the rollover credit or debit directly to your margin balance.

Day traders dont have to worry about rollovers. Rollovers do not apply for day traders who usually close their positions at the end of each trading day. Rollovers are not applied if you dont carry a position over the change in the value date. Rollovers only apply to your over night open position carried over to the next day. Rollovers are applied to open position after 5.00 PM EST change in value date.

Rollovers can earn you interest income if you are long the currency with the higher interest rate and short the currency with the lower interest rate. Rollovers will cost you money if you are short the currency with the higher interest rate and long the currency with the low interest rates.

A Few Trading Secrets

by Ahmad Hassam

Trading is speculating. It is not investing. It is not the buy and hold strategy that was taught to you. Trading can be challenging. Trading is a risky business and requires active participation. Speculation is done in the hope of profiting from market fluctuations by taking a business risk. It also requires putting your money on the side of the trade on which you think the market is going to go up or down. Successful speculation requires predicting outcomes and analyzing different market situations.

Trading can also be the appreciation of the fact that if you apply the correct techniques for analyzing trades, managing your money and protecting your account, you can be wrong 70 percent of the time and still be a successful trader.

Over time, opportunity keeps on shifting from one market to another. For example, right now forex and gold markets are really hot while stocks are down. Gold prices are going up. Those who entered the trend by investing at the right time and are going to ride the trend till it lasts will make a lot of money in the gold markets. At the moment almost everyone is running and buying gold as a hedge against turmoil in the global markets. Everyone includes countries, institutional investors, hedge funds and retail investors.

This situation may continue for some months or some years but suddenly you will find that crude oil futures have become a great investment opportunity. Many hedge funds had made a lot of money by investing in crude oil futures in the year 2008.

Timing for entering the market and the timing for exiting the market is very important for a successful trade. In trading it is the timing that is of essence. As the global economy recovers and demand for oil increases, oil prices will again go up in a few years time.

A lot of people make the mistake of focusing only on one market. Many people end up spending time on only one market. In reality all the markets are interlinked. Successful trading requires mastering a strategy that enables you to trade multiple markets and multiple time frames. If something happens in one market, you will find the repercussions in the other markets.

They do testing, development, put on a million indicators, go and trade live. They do everything they can while spending all kinds of time trying to figure out one market and one timeframe. But then what almost happens is that market starts to go sideways or the opportunity shifts to another market.

You really have to have the ability to be able to adopt the market conditions and not waste your time to really master one market which is critical. There were so many stocks just a few years ago that were incredible to trade that either dont exist anymore or would not trade successfully today.

Many gurus will teach you that you really need to learn the ins and outs of one market. They will tell you to focus only on one market and then stick with it. But the problem with that philosophy is that opportunity keeps on shifting from one market to another. Mastering different markets is counterintuitive. Always remember a good trader always follows where the money goes. In other words, follow where the opportunity goes.

Give A New Look To Your Postcard Printing With Coating

by Hema Mahesh

Coatings on printed postcards change the look to make it more attractive. You must have seen several postcards and other materials where the picture changes with the angle of the light source and the reflections give it a different look. This is achieved by putting a coating material over the printed matter on paper.

Postcard printing can also be completed with the application of certain components on it to get beautiful look to catch the notice of customers. Coating is done following several techniques in the printing business. The main plan is to give a shiny character on postcard printing and boost its longevity. You can very well create fantastic postcard printing on coated papers to make an impression in the market.

The basic reasons are the attractiveness, longer life and protection against rough use. Your postcard printing option is rightly suited for this kind of coating on them. Postcards on card paper are fit enough to be undertaken for necessary coating by the printers. The coating material is composed of solutions either of varnish or UV coating.

When we discuss varnish coating, we are reminded of the painting on door and windows of our homes. This is similar material but for the use on paper instead of wood. Like the wooden doors and windows, it provides a shiny look on the paper on which it is applied. Over and above, it acts as safeguard against water or any liquid or dust. It increases the life span of the postcard.

Partial coating on preferred parts of the postcard makes those areas remarkable. There are varieties in this varnishing practice where diverse colors are added to gain separate type of shine on them. Coating is also affected with other kinds of solutions to give lustrous effect and matte finish.

The finest type of coating is done by ultraviolet light or UV. The effect of light is best enjoyed. It does not become paler nor get abused with water or dust. It is the costliest of all coating methods. You can simply contact a dependable printing house to get the coating done on the printed material in a capable manner for your printing requirements.

What Are Market Orders? (Part III)

by Ahmad Hassam

Stop loss execution policy in forex trading is somewhat different that in equity trading. Stop loss orders to sell are triggered if the broker bid price reaches your stop loss order rate. Suppose, your stop loss order to sell is 1.2830! The brokers lowest price quote is 1.2830/1.2833. Your stop loss order will be executed. The same goes for buy orders.

There is a lot of volatility in the currency markets when some economic report is released. Most of the forex brokers will never guarantee stop losses around the release of economic reports. However, under normal trading conditions, some brokers will guarantee against slippage on your stop loss order. Definition of the normal trading conditions is again the discretion of the broker. The downside of this is that your stop loss order will be executed earlier and when placing them on your forex trading platform you will have to add in extra cushion.

One-Cancels-the-Other Orders: A one cancels the other order (abbreviated as OCO order) is a stop loss order paired with a take profit order. An OCO order is the ultimate insurance policy for any open position! Your position stays open until one of the order levels is reached by the market and closes your position. When one order level is reached and triggered, the other order is automatically cancelled.

Suppose you are short USD/JPY at 120.00 and you think that its going to keep going higher if it goes up beyond 120.00. Thats where you decide to put your stop loss buying order. One cancels the other (OCO) orders are highly recommended for every open position.

At the same time, you believe that USD/JPY has downside potential to 118.50. So you set your take profit buying order at 118.50. You now have two orders bracketing the market. Your risk is clearly defined. As long as the market trades between 120.00 and 118.50, your position remains open. If 118.50 is reached first, your take profit order is triggered and you buy back at a profit. However, if 120.00 is hit first, your position is stopped out at a loss.

Contingent Orders: A contingent order is an order where you combine several types of orders to create a complete currency trading strategy. Contingent orders are also referred to as if/then orders. If/then orders require the If order to be done first. Only then the second part of the order becomes active. So they are sometimes also called If done/then orders.

The key feature of most forex broker order policies is that your order is only filled based on the price spread of the trading platform. That means that your limit order is only executed if the trading platform offer rate reaches your buy rate. Similarly, a limit order is only executed if the trading platform bid price reaches your sell rate.

Lets use an example to make it clear. Suppose you have a buy order to sell CHF/USD at 1.2855. Your brokers spread on CHF/USD pair is 2 pips. If the trading platform price is 1.2852/1.2854, your buy order will be filled. If the lowest price is 1.2853/1.2855, the limit order will not be filled as the brokers lowest rate of 1.2855 does not match your buy rate of 1.2855. Almost the same thing happens with limit orders to sell.

First Time 4×4 Insurance Buyers

by Susan Reynolds

Different vehicles require different types of insurance. Each type of insurance is specifically geared toward the vehicle it is insuring, whether a motorcycle, truck, or regular car. 4×4 insurance must be tailored to fit the needs of the vehicle and the driver. This insurance is often more expensive than regular car insurance because of the specific risks involved with owning this type of vehicle. Before you purchase a policy you should do as much research as possible to find the best one for you.

4×4 vehicles differ from regular cars in that may sometimes be used for off road driving. Some people even use them for racing in the mountains or deserts. If you plan on incorporating these sports you insurance will be much higher compared to someone who sticks to the road. If you choose not to be insured for off road driving you will not be covered for any damages done while driving in these areas. This is because you will be at a higher risk for damages like broken windshields and popped tires while driving off road. Insurance companies will have to charge you more to compensate for the higher risk of driving.

4×4 trucks and SUVs have all of the regular types of insurance available for drivers. The minimal type is called liability insurance, and it covers other vehicles and individuals that were involved in an accident, but not your own. Comprehensive and collision insurance can also be obtained like an average vehicle. Unfortunately these will often be more expensive than regular policies. The monthly rate you pay will reflect on how much overall coverage you have. The extra cost will cover the increased likely hood that your 4×4 may be stolen or vandalized.

4×4 insurance is more expensive than regular insurance largely because of the fact that the parts cost more to fix and replace. Small, mass produced cars have more parts available, and they are often less expensive. 4×4s may require you to get extra insurance to cover parts that are not considered stock. If you get into an accident and receive damage to these additions, the insurance company will not pay to replace them unless you have specific insurance for it. This can be particularly frustrating for people with wide screens, a common 4×4 addition.

If you like to work on your 4×4 you may want to add salvage retention rights to your policy. If you are involved in an accident this gives you the right to keep the parts for other vehicles while still being covered for the damages. This only applies if your vehicle was totaled and you have to get a new one. Salvage retention also lets you put on your own additions and updates without worrying about affecting your insurance coverage. Often times these alterations can cause your insurance to become invalid without specific coverage. Your original 4×4 insurance policy will most likely not include salvage retention rights, so be sure to add it on if you require it.

The Right Way To Eliminate Debt

by Layla Vanderbilt

Many Americans struggle with the burden of too much debt and a large number of people work hard just to clear bad debt from their credit history. The vicious circle of late payments + penalties + punitive interest rate increases makes you feel trapped. And with a history of bad debt, getting a new car or home loan seems impossible. But be wary of companies that offer to help you get out of debt. You could end up in worse shape as a result of their help.

Usually, companies offer to negotiate with bill collectors so that your payments are reduced. Be aware that while this tactic may get you out of debt faster it may actually make your credit rating worse. Assuming that the company is able to negotiate successfully for a payment schedule you can afford, that debt will remain on your credit report as bad, lowering your credit score.

There is one way, though, to wriggle out of your debt position and repair your credit score simultaneously, by repaying the entire loan in one go, which may not be at the agreed rate. This can be accomplished by availing a debt consolidation loan, which means that you may pay off all your loans in one go so that you are left with only one kind of loan at the end of it.

Often the interest rate will be lower on a debt consolidation loan than it is on the credit card debt and other debt that you now carry. If it is within your means to get a debt consolidation loan and pay off all of your debt in one monthly payment, this is the preferred option. It not only enables you to get out of debt, it can also help to raise your credit score dramatically.

Another good option for some is to take on a second mortgage. This is a fantastic option if you have equity in your home and can secure a good interest rate. Your monthly mortgage payment will increase but you can potentially save thousands of dollars in interest and it will feel great to have put all that debt behind you. Paying off high interest debt with low interest loans saves a ton of money in interest payments and helps you pay off your debt sooner. It’s the best thing you can do for your credit score, too. Your creditors will have nothing to complain about.

Remember that whenever you plan to avail a sizeable loan, either to purchase a home or a car, your credit score and credit history are very crucial. This will help you to obtain a big loan with low interest, which is what you are aiming at. If you allow your credit score to suffer, you may end where nobody will be prepared to even give you a loan which attracts high interest and is equally unsafe at the same time.
