Global currency trading involves the buying and selling of world’s currencies, especially the most formidable ones on foreign exchange markets. Initially only the privileged few like the giant banks and top shot financiers had access to this extremely lucrative market. But with the ubiquitous presence of internet, the opportunity of trading in global forex is not restricted in the hands of the big players. The small time investors can also tap the high profit potential of the forex market to make some good money.

There are some typical advantages associated with trading currency in the global forex market that has made it the world’s largest money spinning market.

First of all, unlike the domestic stock markets, in global forex you can trade 24-hours a day. The Forex market opens every day in Sydney moving westward as the day advances. A truly globalized market, the trading moves around the globe as the trading opens in each prime center, first to Tokyo, London, and New York. Thus, unlike any other financial market, you can instantly respond to any type of fluctuations in any currency followed by economic, social and political events. And you can easily take decision the time they occur—day or night.

Unlike the domestic stock market, you do not have to deal with a share agent and do not have to pay any commsion for making the trade. The FX market is Over the Counter type of market. It operates on the ‘interbank’ basis. Thus transactions are conducted between two parties in two different parts of the world via internet or over the telephone.

Then leverage is also substantially high in this market and practically you can make deals 100 times greater than the value of your deposit money.

You do not have to be present in person in the market to carry on the trade. Because it is not a market in the traditional sense of the term. Trading is not restricted to any centralized location. Trading occurs worldwide and Forex is the world’s largest and most intense market.

The forex trading involves the business on the spot between the US dollar and the
six major currencies (Japanese Yen, Euro, British Pound, Swiss Franc, Canadian Dollar and Australian Dollar). Thus it is a gigantic market which can not be controlled by any single factor or player. No one player can directly manipulate the trends of the market. This trait makes it the most exciting market in the world. Along side the major players like Central banks, private banks, international corporations, and money managers the small time speculators can also make unlimited money in the forex market.

So you can clearly see that there are significant opportunities of making money in this biggest market of the world. But there are risk factors as well. The aggressive day traders might experience substantial profit-loss swings per day.

Fortunately, there are no daily limits on foreign exchange trading and no restrictions on trading hours other than the weekend. This implies you will always get an opportunity to react to the particular trends and a lower risk of getting trapped into bad deals without the opportunity of getting out.

One of the most prominent changes with every lender in today’s market are the stricter underwriting guidelines they are imposing on all their borrowers. Because of their previous lackadaisical approach, many lenders have found themselves in great trouble with many closing their doors and claiming bankruptcy. The lenders who are still in business now realize the importance of sound underwriting on all of the loans that come across their desk.

When a loan request is submitted to a lender, a loan processor is typically assigned to the loan to gather all of the necessary documents that the underwriter will need to evaluate the loan and to make sure the borrower will be able to make their payments and still have a reserve for emergencies. The documentation they will require is also required by the regulators that the banks have to answer to. Because of the mortgage crisis, regulators are running around as fast as they can and are extremely picky with what they need as documentation.

While this should have been happening over the past years, it has caused banks to reorganize their underwriting departments and request for more information than they need to ensure they will meet the regulators stringent requirements so they can keep lending. Many of these changes have increased the underwriting process and the amount of paperwork the borrowers need to collect.

If borrowers, sellers and brokers do not understand this, they might not give the borrower enough time in escrow on a purchase and will have to deal with their money going hard sooner than they would like. Borrowers requesting a refinance may also find delays if they do not have the proper paperwork up to date, especially if they are holding title in a trust or limited liability company.

Some of the other underwriting changes to look out for include:

1. Increased Debt Coverage Ratios (DCR)

2. Changes in term, rate, fees to accommodate perceived added risk

3. Additional bank statements for ALL liquid or semi-liquid assets listed on the personal financial statement

4. The minimum credit scores for approval have been raised

The current financial crisis

The public have a common understanding that the subprime mortgage crisis has leaded to a far more serious consequence, so called ‘the financial crisis’ recently. To be exact, It has been going on for seven months. But how will that be happened? This is the question. The subprime load crisis is relatively simple to understand. People bought homes they couldn’t afford, and now they are falling behind on their home loans. This has caused the loss of related financial institutions.

However, the amount of loss is not the major cause of the financial crisis. US government has already announced to take over Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and AIG, and have injected the capital over that amount into the market. Besides, the majority of homeowners are still doing just fine. The conventional mortgage market is still healthy. So, how is it that a mess concentrated in one part of the mortgage business: the subprime loans, has frozen up the whole credit markets in United States? How would that crisis caused such a big impact to the stock market, causing the collapse of Bear Sterns, Lehman brothers, etc, and left the economy on the brink of the worst recession in a generation and forced the Federal Reserve to take its boldest action since the Depression in 1923?
 
In order to have a big picture of this incident, I think this could be explained in this way. First of all, behind the whole financial crisis, there are actually 3 major components: the subprime mortgage, Leverage (or gearing), and the Credit Default Swap(CDS). We have mentioned about subprime mortgage before. So, what is leverage? In the finance industry, leverage is a common way to use in such a way to magnify the outcome of the investments. This can be done by various financial instruments such as options, futures, margin or borrowed capital, to increase the potential return of an investment. 
 
At present, many investment banks use leverage to operate more then 20 times of their capital. For example, if bank A have an asset of 5 billion, then 30 times of leverage means that bank A can operate 150 billions of money, in which most are borrowed. It is obvious, if there is 5% of profit in the investment, then bank A has a profit of 7.5 billion. However, on the other hand, if there is 5% loss in the investment, then bank A loss all it’s 5 billion of asset, and still owe the lender 2.5 billion.
 
The third component is CDS. What is CDS? As explained above, the operation of leverage is very risky. So some bankers think of a way to take insurance on these leverage. This insurance is called CDS. It is a specific kind of agreement which allows the transfer of third party credit risk from one party to the other. One party in the swap is a lender and faces credit risk from a third party, and the counterparty in the credit default swap agrees to insure this risk in exchange of regular periodic payments. For example, Peter borrows $100 from John. John wants to get insurance on this $100 debt in case Peter was unable to return the money. The John goes to Jane and asked for Jane to insurance that debt. Jane agrees to do so if John is willing to pay her an insurance fee of $5 per year. That is exactly the most simplified scenario of CDS.
 
Now, apply that in the world of banks. Recall the example of ‘bank A’. Bank A operates a leverage of 30 times. To reduce the risk, it goes to bank B and asked for bank B to do CDS insurance. After analysis the market data, bank B knows that the breach of contract case is less than 1%. Therefore, bank B is willing to take that insurance to earn the insurance fee. However, this is not the end of the story. Although bank B agree to accept the insurance, it can not have the insurance fee immediately. At the same time, some other banks such as bank C, bank D, etc. are interested to these CDS contracts. So bank B is willing to re-sell them to other banks to have the cash immediately. This is the scenario. The CDS contracts being sell and re-sell continuously among different financial sectors. In the mean time,
the market value of the CDS has reached 62 trillion.
 
However, you may see that, all the banks A, B, C, etc are making money. So, where is the money comes from?  The money comes from the revenue generated by the subprime mortgage business. So why the honey moon period can continue in the previous few years? It is because the real estate prices keep rising in the previous few years. In that period, home owners and buy and re-sell the real estates easily, who can earn good money at the same time. It just likes snowball or bubble. The market keeps rocking until 2006. When the downturns came, the prices of the real estates dropped. People who are lack of financial ability was unable to pay the high interests of those subprime loans. In that case, the subprime mortgage market started collapsing, which in turn affecting the CDS market. Banks and financial institutions who are involved in those products is unavoidably being affected. In fact, nearly all I-banks and most of the commercial banks are involved in this storm, or more appropriates, the tsunami.

I’m going to share a little about my online currency trading experiences that I have learned a lot from. I actually started to get into this business a few years ago and let me say that I wasn’t very good. I had a lot of bad trades and I wasn’t even sure I could get this to work. I sticked with it and worked hard, since I really wanted this to work and one day, everything just started to click. I just started to understand fully what I was doing and I could easily spot a good trade.

I think the best piece of advice I could give you is to diversify as soon as you figure out how to make a profitable trade. The problem for a lot of people in this business is that they stick with one pair and typically trade for the short term. I think both are good moves though. When you stick with one pair, you can really learn it and when you trade short term, your money is in and out very fast. The problem is that it builds no security. If that pair because unprofitable, than you become unprofitable. Online currency trading needs to be a balance of trades, so you can profit with less risk.

Take the time to appreciate your demo. It’s not a tool to test out how you can make millions with a strategy. It isn’t for that. It’s meant to practice the routines and behaviors of a smart forex trader. That is the only way it should be used.

Street Smart Forex is a new unique way at looking at the online currency market. There is a huge opportunity to profit, but you need to look at the world a little differently to achieve that. A street smart attitude is the key to winning over this market.

Do You Need a Life Bailout?

The latest financial news has everyone preoccupied with the negatives of the declining financial market. I was reading an article in the Baltimore Sun newspaper the other day about how the news of financial woes has impacted individual consumer confidence and the result is people are so worried that they are doing nothing with their goals, dreams or plans for the future. They are putting them on hold until there is a clear picture of things getting better. Is this you?

I thought that this was important to discuss this week because in every adversity is an opportunity of equal or greater value. You see, even in declining markets, wealth is created and opportunities exist. Think about:

the investors who are now able to acquire more stock affordably and hold it until the value restores the family that decides to purchase their dream home now and get all the options and closing costs included the mother who finally decides to start her own business because her family needs extra income. Remember that we create our own realities.

What I have done in this financial market is invest more in myself by reading more, learning from the coaches in my life, and taking steps to ensure that I learn ways to grow my business during these difficult economic times. People ask me all the time how is the coaching business? I have learned that people want coaching even more now then ever to create new personal options. What if instead I sang the song that because of the economy no one can afford coaching. The truth is you can’t afford not to have a coach help you create the life that you want.

My challenge to you this week is to to look at your life and write down how this temporary financial downshift can create opportunity for you in your life, with your family, work or business. You might answer the following ways:

This has taught my family the benefit of simplicity and how abundant we really are. You decided you don’t want to work for someone else. The uncertainty of working for others was confirmed during this market shift and as a result you will explore entrepreneurship. You may have learned that you are a much better budgeter than you originally thought. You may have learned that you have been living above your financial means. Whatever your lesson(s), I encourage you to breathe it in. Learn from your life.

This week only, I am offering one free hour of coaching for the first ten individuals to contact me at mia_redrick@findingdefinitions.com In the subject line please type Free Coaching Session.

Live fully,

Mia

The Foreign Exchange Market, a.k.a. Forex or FX, is out there waiting for you to join and make money by trading from your own home computer. Just about anyone who is willing to put forth a little effort in the beginning can learn about Forex and supplement or replace their salary by trading in foreign currency. There are seven basic ways to rule the Forex market:

1. Study and learn. Practicing without using real money first is a wise move and will allow you to make good trades when you enter the real world of Forex trading.

2. Avoid get-rich-quick software that does your trading “automatically.” If it were that easy, everyone would be running software on automatic pilot and making millions while they played volleyball on the beach.

3. Start with a relatively small investment while you get the hang of the trading environment.

4. Develop a numbers-based trading plan that you understand and are willing to follow. If the indicators you decide to use are too complicated for you to follow, you will be doing something you don’t really comprehend fully, and that is never a wise move.

5. Use only a small percentage of your trading pot of money on individual trades. This is the Forex equivalent of not putting all your eggs into one basket.

6. Be diligent. Even though you are “working” from home, fluctuations in currency value require you to stay on top of your investments.

7. Be aware of world events. If you don’t know what is happening in the world, you cannot accurately assess market conditions. If the blind lead the blind, they both fall into the pit.

I began my first forex trade three years ago, at this time, information sources of trading available were very limited, I could not get the the suitable information on online forex course for free trading to allow me to begin a live forex trading successfully, all my sources of information and trading strategies were obtained from forex forums posts and the trial and errors of former forex traders and their trading strategies, which were evolved to suit their needs and their potential financial capabilities.

I had a long time with a forex demo account for several months, I did not dare to enter into a real live forex trading, because my capital was very limited, and there were no free online forex courses which I can get to help me in my trading. But one day I landed on a website which sell a forex training course package, this website claimed that the its strategy results in a profit rate around 80% in all cases, I read more on this course enough to to be motivated to buy it, especially its price was very suitable to me ($99 total for the 5 ebooks). Once I got the ebooks, I began reading every single word in them with voracity, and – for honesty – it was the first time for me to read in details about forex money management and risk management and their vital rule in forex trading, but this was all I had gotten from this course, nothing otherwise.

I tried to contact the author of the forex course to query him about several points regarding his training program, and guess what? I did not get any response from him, I contacted him up to 10 times, however I did not hear one word.

This was the lesson #1 I learned: It is not about the training program, it’s about the AUTHOR of this program, is he alive man? is he a real forex trader OR: he’s just a teacher of theoretical lectures in forex trading!

The lesson #2 I learnt was: What is degree of the technical support provided after purchasing his forex training program? shall I find him when I need him?

After a whole year, I would have left almost forex trading and preoccupied by other businesses, but one day while surfing on the internet, I found by accident the Forex Mentor website, and once landed on the main page, at the first sight I cynically laughed and said to myself: “Another Scam!!”

However, I started reading all the information on his training program and the main idea behind it: Pivot Points. I began once again thinking seriously to return to forex trading, and decided to purchase this program of Peter Bain, but for the first glance, I was disappointed for its high price ($495 for a hard copy on CDs, or $349 of the digital copy). After a short time of deep thinking and trying to decide whether I’ll buy or not, I said to myself, I lost in the forex trading in the past several thousand of dollars, let them be several thousand PLUS $495!!

I read every word on the Forex Mentor Website, I collected every information available about the Author (Peter Bain) and his history in the forex and stocks market, I read many indpendent reviews about this course. Despite of that, The most important factores encouraged me to buy forex mentor course were as the follows:

The Concept of Forex Mentor Trading System

1- The Program Author: Peter Bain, I read a lot more about him on the internet and on his long experience in the area of trading in stocks, currencies, and the large number of successful traders who trained by him who achieved good trading results with the favor of his forex trading advises.

Peater Bain has developed a very successful trading strategy based on Pivot Points, which depends primarily on the concept of support and resistance: When you see price violate a pivot point convincingly, there are automated trading systems out there that automatically kick in and buy or sell, depending upon where price is going. So, in essence, these two factors alone account for why other indicators are left breathing dust. Bar patterns, MACD divergence, different time frame readings, and trendlines are definite precursors to price changing direction but, in the final analysis, where price is in relation to its nearest pivot point, is the big clue. Tie all these indications together, and you are sure to out-fox price’s next move.

2- This coach always exists whenever you need him, he provides One-on-one feedback, he believes that every forex trader trainee has different needs and requires special attention, this feature adds high value to his forex training program.

3- Members only forum, where members can talk just about everything related to the Forex market and the Forex training program. This is the most important characteristic of this program, getting in touch with other forex traders add to your learning experiences.

4- Free membership for 6 months ($ 199 value) membership alone equal times the value of this course, after the period of six months, you will be deducting $100 for renewal, through this membership you will receive on a daily basis the following material:

  • Daily Video Questions and Answers – That’s right! I will personally answer your email trading questions via live streaming video. You probably think we’ve gone off the deep end! But again, we are fully committed to your success!

Remortgages have been around as long as mortgages and go through cycles of popularity in the UK. Before the property downturn in the 1990s the practice of remortgaging was fairly uncommon; in that sluggish market many lenders realized that the only way to increase their business was to tap into their competitors’ existing client base and this is how remortgage popularity increased. It was common then for lenders to include punitive redemption penalties but this practice has decreased and high costs only really apply to premature extraction in the duration of the introductory deal rather than the entire length of the mortgage. This increased flexibility has resulted in a huge increase in remortgages in the UK so that they account for roughly 40% of current mortgages, but the credit crunch is impacting on this market.

Up until the recent credit crunch UK remortgages had been seen as a relatively inexpensive way of releasing limited amounts of the property’s equity for relatively large capital projects such as an extensive redecoration or extension to the property, car purchase or a one-off high cost holiday. As mortgage rates have risen, though, this type of remortgage route has diminished in popularity and really should only pursued if essential.

By far the most common remortgage is when the homeowner seeks to lower the cost of their mortgage when the introductory term has come to an end or when the homeowner seeks to move house. In these circumstances it is likely that the homeowner will remain with their current lender and often the mortgage lender will contact the borrower regarding the remortgage. However, the borrower has no obligation to remain with their current lender and can shop around for better deals.

The UK remortgage market is being impacted by the credit crisis; the days of cheap cash are over and the costs are being passed onto the end consumer. Some borrowers who had mortgages over 100% of the value of their property will now not be able to remortgage to a similar level – very few lenders will now exceed a 95% remortgage level. A corollary to this is that the more you borrow, the greater the costs to do so. For example, lenders can take out Mortgage Indemnity Guarantees (MIG) if they borrow more than a certain amount to insure themselves against possible default.

As a general guide for the borrower, now that the financial situation has downturned remortgage UK should only be an option undertaken out of need rather than luxury as ultimately your home is at risk if you do not keep up with the repayments.
