It's A Shame For You Not To Trade Forex - When These People Do It So Easily
By Peter Lim

Do you know that among all the financial trading markets in the world, the largest market is not the stock market, but is the forex market? Despite this, many people are wary of trading in forex because of the misconceptions that abound regarding forex trading.

I. Main Misconceptions about Forex Trading
-------------------------------------------------

1. Forex trading is unduly risky: Many people are wary of forex trading. They feel that it is very risky to trade in forex. It is correct to say that forex trading, like any other trading activity, carries risk. However the risk can be reduced by acquiring the suitable trading skills and by using the correct software, just like a specialist medical surgeon gets to a high calibre by way of acquiring the required skills and by using the best high-technological and updated surgical tools and instruments. There is no more risk on trading forex than which is common to any other financial instrument when you gain the proper skills and experience.

2. Forex trading can only be done by big time institutions: This is simply a wrong understanding of forex trading. Gone are the days when big time banking institutions can only trade the currency and forex markets. You can now trade forex with as little as $25 leveraging on your margin account.

3. Forex trading utilises expensive trading software: Nowadays, you can avail yourself to free trading software that constitutes the trading platform and also charting interface provided online by forex brokers.Opening an account with an established broker will allow you to access powerful charting software free of charge.

II. Types of Technical Forex Traders
-----------------------------------------

In contrast, in today's financial world, there exists a great number of people who are trading the forex and making profits from their trades. Indeed, the forex market is now open to all individuals who are trading from the comfort of their own home, 24 hours a day as the forex market is always open. Trading online and using

US: LEI Contracts in April, but Details Show Continued Growth
The Leading Economic Index (LEI) fell 0.1 percent in April, the first decline in six months. Much of the pullback was concentrated in building permits and jobless claims, but technical factors appear to be at play. Technical Factors Pull LEI into Negative Territory Four of the 10 components of the LEI fell into negative territory in April, but the underlying trend still points to modest growth. Weakness in permits was concentrated in the volatile multifamily component and could be payback for<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.fxstreet.com/~ff/fundamental/economic-indicators?a=uBqeBpjV-dM:Bl4UXl-eF7g:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fundamental/economic-indicators?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.fxstreet.com/~ff/fundamental/economic-indicators?a=uBqeBpjV-dM:Bl4UXl-eF7g:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fundamental/economic-indicators?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.fxstreet.com/~ff/fundamental/economic-indicators?a=uBqeBpjV-dM:Bl4UXl-eF7g:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fundamental/economic-indicators?i=uBqeBpjV-dM:Bl4UXl-eF7g:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> </div>

Japan: Mixed signals from orders and tertiary activity data in March
Today?s data gave mixed signals about the state of the economy. Machinery orders data indicate that demand is largely domestically driven, while overseas demand has remained lacklustre. The weakness in tertiary activity suggests that reconstruction spending is not yet filtering through to the rest of the economy. Total machinery orders rose by 4.1% thanks to a surge in government orders (+40%). However, private sector orders and overseas orders declined by 4.3% and 14.4%, respectively.<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.fxstreet.com/~ff/fundamental/economic-indicators?a=JcyHmqeL6Es:K-NqIqs9yhA:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fundamental/economic-indicators?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.fxstreet.com/~ff/fundamental/economic-indicators?a=JcyHmqeL6Es:K-NqIqs9yhA:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fundamental/economic-indicators?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.fxstreet.com/~ff/fundamental/economic-indicators?a=JcyHmqeL6Es:K-NqIqs9yhA:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fundamental/economic-indicators?i=JcyHmqeL6Es:K-NqIqs9yhA:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> </div>
US: Decline in Bank Liabilities Leads to Net Outflows in March
Net long-term inflows rebounded in March, as foreign official Treasury security purchases more than offset private Treasury sales. However, overall flows were negative as bank liabilities declined. Net Long-Term Inflows Rebound on Official Treasury Demand Net long-term inflows rebounded to $36.2 billion in March from $10.1 billion in February.

Business inventories increased 0.3 percent in March, as we had forecasted, though that was somewhat less than the 0.4 percent gain the consensus expected. Sales gains remained firm, up 0.6 percent from February.

US: Consumer Inflation Remains Flat in April
Largely reflecting lower energy prices, the headline consumer price index remained unchanged in April. Core CPI rose a trend-like 0.2 percent. Inflation, here and abroad, is receding on the slow growth outlook. Headline Remains Flat As expected, headline consumer price inflation pulled back in April, largely due to a 1.7 percent decline in energy prices.

Retail sales rose just 0.1 percent in April, but the underlying momentum in spending remains solid. A key core measure of retail sales rose 0.4 percent in May, and the prior month?s gain was revised slightly higher. Retail Sales Continue to Post Modest Gains Retail sales rose 0.1 percent in April, following a 0.7 percent rise in March.

US: Can't complain
Once more, news came on a bright tone. In April, while inflation moderated in line with expectations, the resilience of retail sales to strong headwinds was remarkable. This leads to expect household demand to remain a strong engine of growth in Q2. Last but not least, the manufacturing sentiment improved markedly in May in the new York Fed district.

France: Q1 2012 GDP stable
Q1 2012 French GDP remained flat. Zero growth is usually seen as a very poor outcome. However, this is not as bad as one could have expected.

Although eurozone avoided a recession (technically defined as two consecutive falls in quarter-on-quarter GDP growth), prospects are not encouraging in the short-run.

Eurozone: Industrial production down in March
In March, industrial production fell by 0.3% m/m , after increasing by 0.8% in February. The March fall was largely due to the collapse of output in the energy sector. Over the quarter, output dropped by 0.5% q/q, that is a slower contraction with respect to the -2% q/q recorded in Q4 2011. This suggests that GDP probably contracted in Q1 2012 as well. &nbsp; In March, industrial production fell by 0.3%, after increasing by 0.8% in February.

UK: Industrial output fell back in March
Industrial output fell back in March, down by 0.3% m/m. All sectors? activity declined, with the exception of manufacturing which output was up 0.9% over the month.

France: Manufacturing production strongly up in March
French industrial output declined 0.9% m/m in March. This payback was expected after the cold weather in February which boosted production. The most relevant figure is the sharp rise in manufacturing output (+1.4% m/m). Industrial output registered a limited fall in the first quarter (-0.1% QoQ). This decline should mirror in GDP figures (expected down by 0.2% QoQ).<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.fxstreet.com/~ff/fundamental/economic-indicators?a=X916pyLCNok:a_s6RqRPiLU:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fundamental/economic-indicators?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.fxstreet.com/~ff/fundamental/economic-indicators?a=X916pyLCNok:a_s6RqRPiLU:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fundamental/economic-indicators?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.fxstreet.com/~ff/fundamental/economic-indicators?a=X916pyLCNok:a_s6RqRPiLU:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fundamental/economic-indicators?i=X916pyLCNok:a_s6RqRPiLU:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> </div>
