Forex Trading Platform Review

Forex Trading Platform Review

There comes a time when a currency trader wants to know what else is available out in the currency market when it comes to trading platforms. I've decided that I am going to do some forex trading platform reviews over the next few weeks.

There are some big promises being made by these different trading platforms and forex trading companies providing currnecy trading services. Some of these trading platforms offer you 'free money' to start trading after you open a trading account.

There are some groups that offer free demo accounts for trading as well as good support. Some trading platforms I will be reviewing also include equities, commodities, precious metals and more. Imagine trading currency as well as your local stock market equities and commodities directly!!

Our first review is going to be a multiplatform.

Aurora Global Markets is a financial services company based in the UK and regulated by the Financial Services Authority. Its wholesale services for financial institutions include: Global trading platform in equities, foreign exchange, commodities, precious metals and interest rates. Asset management services that can be linked to the trading platform including program trading and third party discretionary management.

What about another well known trading platform provider called AVA FX Online where you get some fantastic deals:

~ Open a free $100,000 currency account with ava fx and practice online trading. It's a great way to experience trading in the currnecy market without risking any money. The opportunity for you to learn, or to enhance your trading skills is one simple registration away.

~ Open the real currency account and begin trading with $100 with the chance for a free bonus of up to $1200 on your account!!

I've got loads more work to do to fill you in on the top trading platforms available out there and what they offering. It's a challenge I take up eagerly.

What's the benefit about a review? You will benefit from seeing what the different trading platforms offer and what their trading costs are.

Get to learn who the best of the trading platforms are over the next few weeks!

Forex Trading made easy(ier). Have you seen the flourishing Forex Traders at every Bank, every Airport and even in most Malls? How do they do it? IT Systems and support. You too can use these excellent systems to operate you Forex Trading account or begin to explore the world of foreign exchange trading before making a commitment. I have researched AGM Trading to find all the answers to facilitate your entry into this lucrative market. This is what AGM Trading have to say:

“The Forex market is open 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. Because of the decentralized clearing of trades and overlap of major markets in Asia, London and the United States, the market remains open and liquid throughout the day and overnight. The Foreign Exchange Market is the most liquid market in the world eclipsing all others. In comparative terms daily volumes are more than 40x the Dow Jones Index.”

How to enter this enormous market? Let’s look at the offerings below.

Rolling Contracts and Daily Cash and Future Contracts have a ‘flow chart’ listing the currencies of the USA, UK and Europe and comparable value to each other. Point’s changes vary from second to second. The ‘spot rate’ can be compared from the time of your entry into the market, to the time you decide to sell, establishing exactly the profit you have made over that time span. Even small percentage gains add up to enormous profits on a weekly or monthly basis.

Have a look at the Specimen Market Information Sheets provided by AGM trading and sign up for a free demonstration. You have everything to gain.

The beauty about Forex Trading is that you can do it from the comfort of your own living room. In fact, you can trade currency anywhere in the world!

Contracts for difference with Forex

CFD(Contracts for difference) trading is about ‘margin trading’, or buying not ownership of stock but ‘trading rights’ on the stock by putting down a fraction of the price (i.e.,10%) holding it for short term, hours, days or weeks, and selling it at a profit when the market rises.

Easy? Yes and no. The cautionary is that like all speculation with stocks and shares, only money that you ‘can afford to lose’ should be used. Having said that, with the right systems, good nerves and attention, it is very feasible to make a lot of money. A CFD being a ‘derivative’ of a stock holding is a separate entity from Forex which can also be traded in the same manner but has some regulatory differences.

“For example, A client wants to purchase £10,000 worth of HSBC shares, the margin requirement would be only £1,000. If HSBC share value increases to £10,500 a £500 profit on the deal would equate to just 5% return if you traded the shares outright; compared to a return of 50% on a CFD.”

Interested? You should be. Get started now with a free ‘demo’ account from AGM trader. I've tried their charts and they are pretty damn hot. The benefit here is that you open your account in US dollars which means you can take advantage of the recent strength of the Rand.

Stock Market Bull Rages

It's been a while after my blog break. I was focusing on helping to put together a stock market course for people interested in learning how to do this actively. I guess that's why you found this blog... To search and seek out more knowledge about investing!

Well, the Integrated Trading System we have been working on includes global fundamentals and combines them with local stock market sectors and charts them so that technical analysis on a sector and share level is quite unique. We get a very high hit rate on our stock trading using this integrated stock market course approach.

I have also been spending a good deal of time overhauling my other business venture's website: beekeeping equipment supplies! That's right. I supply any beekeeper with the equipment they need to get started and grow their golden opportunity. The site hadn't been updated for a good long time and this month it got tagged.

The beautiful thing about beekeeping is that it can be the ultimate alternative investment opportunity. You see, it's a low cost, low capital setup and the bees do pretty much all the work... It's a sweet deal with all that honey and all. Bees are great.

I reworked all of the keywords and the links within the site and even added a new beginner beekeeping course. If you looking for something alternative for investing beekeeping could be it.

This week th emarket had a great rally. A fantastic turn yesterday on the ALSI 60 min chart gave an entry long at 19600 and after the gap up this morning gave 500 pts for the taking. That's the total weekly quota I set myself in less than 48 hours.

The Anglo American trade also triggered long from 19200 yesterday and closed today at 20800 at resistance there. Anglogold Ashanti gave a sinister short term trade this morning at 31500 to 29500 for a decent day's work.

Our integrated Stock Trading approach warned us that last week's sell of was a pullback buy opportunity and we looked to buy shares like Old mutual, Aspen and Sasol amongst the short list which produced a massive 10% on average across the portfolio in just 2 days! DO you agree that this is profits worthy of short term trading?

After today the Johannesburg stock market has once again resounded it's bullish rage and charged in a red-eyed flurry to break resistance levels confirming what we have been saying for months now: The bear market is over. The bulls are preparing to charge again. Buy on pullbacks unless critical support levels are broken on global fundamental charts!!!

Well, it's really good to be back!

Stock Market going ahead

Market Outlook
Week starting 20th April

RESI or Resources Index Outlook

A lopsided Evening star candle formation confirmed by red candle presents itself on the chart of the resources sector. We also have a descending triangle as well with a break down level target of 36800. With the short-term trading range has been between 36800 – 41400 which the trader should take note of in order to benefit from support and resistance levels within a 5 – 15 day trading period.

The medium term range has been 43000 – 33400 which is vital to note when looking at a medium term trading period of 2- 3 months.

These ranges can assist you to make decisions either for the medium term or for the short term. The current descending triangle forms part of the short term trade and will test the break down to the downside which could take us to the low range level back to 33400. The level at 36800 needs to be broken before the medium term range low of 33400 can be challenged.

The 89ma is acting as resistance currently. It would need to remain intact. The Stoch indicator is displaying oversold levels but could still move down. Caution should be taken at this point. Confirmation that short term negative momentum is still in play is the reverse negative divergence on the RSI and Stoch 3 indicators.

Based on this I am short in Anglo American at 18750. Implats should've been short as well from 17350 with a possible profit target of 15300 but first 16300 needs to be broken.


FINDI

The resistance at 19500 level is strong. The Financial and Industrial index just bounced off the level and formed an evening star with 18900 as a first support level. The weekly and daily chart suggests short term negative movement with a support level at 18625 and then 18292.

A fair deal of reverse negative (hidden) divergence can be found on the FINDI which suggests negative momentum coming into the sectors over the coming week.

The weekly chart does indicate overbought levels in the short however the medium term indicates continuation of the trend to the upside with the potential for a target level at 21500 est.


SP500 Index Outlook

Sp500 is trading above the 89ma with resistance at 876 level and the support at 89ma which is 843 level. Other levels of support at 824 and 813 respectively. The weekly chart shows that the index is very overbought in the short-term where a 61% retracement would result in a 747 target.

Gold seems to have found support at $867. Keep an eye on Anglo Gold at 26900 support level. If this level breaks down then we could have another down movement in the share. If not however, we could see a return to 28000 and even 30000 which needs to be supported by the move in the dollar price of gold as well as the weakening in the dollar.

ALSI

Evening star plus confirmation. Support broken at 20ema Stoch and RSI showing more negative movement either to 18851 or 18675. Last support is 18630 level.

None of the information in this blog is to be used as financial advice but to be treated as educational in nature. We cannot give advice. It is my hope that you can learn from my experience and knowledge.

If you want more knowledge and practical experience then consider coming on my May Stock Market workshop in Johannesburg. It is for investors already in the market that aim to achieve short term profits as well as improve their medium andlong term investment returns.
