Pros and Cons of Trading With Metatrader
Pros and Cons of Trading With Metatrader
In every item or device we use, they all have their own weaknesses and strengths. In using metatrader4 for trading, we find it useful though it also its limitations.
In using metatrader4 first, you will be able to check if there is still money available on your account. If there is not enough money on the account, the operation of opening a position will not be successful. It is for this reason that one need to have sufficient funds for investments.
With metatrader4, you can access history data by using the predefined arrays of Time, Open, Low, High, Close, and Volume. Due to historical reasons, index in these arrays increases from the end to the beginning. Another way of accessing history data is by using other time intervals and even using other currency pairs.
Another advantage in using the metatrader4 is that you can get the information about errors in the program. The “GetLastError” function is very useful. For example, an operation with an order always returns the ticket number. You can also define the beginning of a new bar but this method can fail while loading the history. That is, the number of bars is changed while the “previous” one has not been finished yet. In this case, you can make checking more complicated by introducing a check for the difference between the values equal to one.
The next method is based on the fact this method can fail to work when there are a lot of incoming price ticks. The matter is that incoming price tricks are processed in a separate thread. And if this thread is busy when the next tick comes, this new incoming tick is not processed to avoid overloading the processor. In this case you can also make checking more complicated by saving the previous “Volume” value.
After all pros and cons review, it is for the user to follow directions on how to use it and care for it so that the trading will be more successful and the goal will be achieved.
Thinking of trying your Luck in the Forex Market
Thinking of trying your Luck in the Forex Market
The Foreign Exchange market, also referred to as the "FOREX" or "Forex" or "Retail forex" or “FX” or "Spot FX" or just "Spot" is the largest financial market in the world, with a volume of over $2 trillion a day. Compare that to the $25 billion a day volume that the New York Stock Exchange trades. Making money in such a market should be easy, right? Not necessarily. But it can be done. And with the advent of the internet, its now more easier than ever for the average person to get involved in speculative forex trading. In the past, forex trades had to be carried out through a broker and the initial requirement was that you could trade only if you had about ten to fifty million dollars to start with! Today, carrying out a trade can be done by anyone from the comfort of your home or in front of any pc with internet access using an online trading account.
The fact that there is so much risk and yet so much potential involved with forex trading is what draws most people to it, sort of like gambling. Its all about the adrenaline rush. And making money, of course.
There are many benefits and advantages to trading forex such as no commissions, no middlemen, no fixed lot size, low transaction costs, a 24 hour market, no one can corner the market, leverage, high liquidity, free “demo” accounts, news, charts, and analysis and “mini” and “micro” Trading
However, the speed and complexity of market movements can be a deterrent to aspiring investors. Unless you have a trading system you follow and a good grasp of the forex market, you can find yourself struggling.
So many new entrants into the forex market always tend to search for the ‘ultimate’ forex trading system. And there are so many such trading systems being flouted on the internet as the next best thing.
A good trading system will provide you ‘signals’ or ‘alerts’ about market movements as they arise based on popular Forex indicators like the Relative Strength Index and MACD lines. However, what you need is a complete trading system, one that gives you a trading strategy or ‘auto trade’ option, not just a signal service.
With time, it is important that you take the time to develop your own trading strategies. Take the time to sit down and thrash out your entry and exit tactics.
Before you start trading, it is imperative that you ask yourself these questions:
1. How much money are you willing to risk per trade?
2. How much margin are you comfortable with trading on?
3. Do you have a recovery strategy in the event your trades take you below margins.
4. How do you intend to manage the overall growth of your portfolio?
5. Will you take all your profits out or reinvest them to achieve your set targets?

Forex Signals Services - Path to Profits or Trail to Tears
Retail forex trading is the most risky form of investing, yet every day hundreds, even thousands of people turn to forex as a way to make a quick buck. The idea of taking the time to learn the market and trade a demo account for months before risking real money can sound boring and nonproductive, so many seek out a way to start making money now, fast and easy. They seek out trading signals providers, there are hundreds out there with slick websites and claims of hundreds or thousands of pips per month, for a monthly subscription. The question is: Why do these signals providers really exist if they are truly making the amount of pips and profits they claim to be earning?
Trading for others helps you be a better trader
I personally know someone who provides a forex trade signal. I have been trading with her for 2 years now on a daily basis, but she has been trading this market for more than 5 years and she also trades accounts for others. When I asked why she does the trade signals she exclaimed, “It makes me a better trader, making my trades public. I think twice or even three times before entering a trade, I double and triple check myself.” I thought that was a pretty good answer. She also told me that her percentage of losing trades to winners has diminished since starting the service. Not only does she make a few extra dollars by her subscription service, but she also uses it as a tool to keep her own trading in check. Pretty smart.
The best place to find a scam is on the internet
Yes, there are signal providers that are scams on the internet. Some start business knowing that they are a scam and just want to make as much money as possible from unsuspecting new traders before getting caught. Others actually start out thinking they will be great but soon end up making mistakes and making too many mistakes will soon mark you as a scam, whether you are one or not. In my opinion and years of seeing signals providers come and go, most services start with good intentions, but like with most trading systems they work for awhile and then lose their luster.
It is important to do some due diligence before sending money to any signals provider, for example:
1. Get a recommendation from another trader.
2. Check their website thoroughly, find out when they started giving signals and their trading methodology and performance record, and ask for a reference
3. A good provider will have a reduced rate trial offer
4. Money management is key, whether using a signal service or your own trading. Start with a demo first, then gradually add a mini lot, only adding to lot size if the trade signals prove to be consistently good.
At dailyforex.com we strive to provide helpful information to beginning and experienced traders. Therefore, we will be tracking various signals providers for their service and their monthly pip counts, to shed some light on the darker side of forex.
