INTL Exchange

Does anyone know any good online currency exchange trading platforms?

I looked at Xforex, and it seemed good, but I'm completely new to the online realm of these services and I don't know what the particular pros, cons and pitfalls are to watch out for with buying and selling currency online.

If anyone knows a good site (who doesn't also work for that company) to set up an account on, or has any tips to share, please let me know.

Thanks

You need to think about what you are trying to do. - Do you want access to actual foreign currency? Do you want to take your profits or losses in actual foreign currency? - Are you trying to get a lot of leverage? - Or are you just trying to hedge the value of the dollar against other currencies, without trying to get leverage? If so you might consider an exchange traded fund such as:

FXA (Australian Dollars)
FXE (Euros)
FXB (British Pounds)
FXY (Japanese Yen)

All of these funds pay interest (in U.S. Dollars) - and when you sell you get U.S. Dollars -but the price of a share is a generally about 100 times the value of one unit of the foreign currency. So if the Euro is at $1.40 to the U.S. dollar, you can expect FXE to be selling for about $140 per share. No doubt there are other risks of investing, so you should read the prospectus.

Ed S asked: Everything is going up these days. Even though the oil price has come down a li’l bit, it has been hiking like whatchamacallit a while ago, and I think it can resume its upward pace any time soon. Economy is down. Inflation is high. So I guess people are prone to hoard up some gold in this situation. But the gold price is going down, why? Maybe it has come up too much for the last several years?

Understand the basics of trading such as never trade against the trend, limit any & all loses by using stop orders and lock in any and all gains with sliding stops.

why is the exchange rate quoted on paypal 3 cent different than the current bank exchange rate when converting from sterling to euro
i bought an item on ebay a little while ago and when i went on to an online currency converter and the exchange rate was 85.3 pence sterling /1.00 euro while the paypal exchange rate is 82.3 p sterling/1.00 euro

Reason 1) Let’s say you buy something for a 100 sterling. You are expecting to pay 117.23 euros (100/.853).

Rather than charging you 117.23 euros, paypal charges you 121.51 euros (100/.823). This approximately 4 euros extra becomes a profit for payal. Well this is just a way that services like paypal or credit cards make money.

Reason 2) Currencies are highly liquid and their prices change very quickly. Either the price may have changed really quickly, or maybe paypal had just not updated their pricing or their policies may be to not update their exchange rates that often.

I AM SAYING THAT IT IS MOST LIKELY REASON 1. IT IS THE SAME WAY THAT CREDIT CARDS MAKE MONEY.

Forex currency trading programs can make your trading life a great deal easier and more profitable. But since their inception just a few years ago, there have been a number of hastily thrown together programs which are hardly worth their e-weight, let alone their purchase prices, which have come out onto the market, as well. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to tell the few winning programs apart from the lemons short of hand testing them, and even then, it’s difficult to know on what metric to judg

First, you should know that Forex is not that easy. Do not believe those who may say it is!

Now, there are some good robots that MAY help you. Some are scam. Others are for real.

Simply put, a Forex robot is a program that attempts to take the guess work out of trading currencies. Currently there is a lot of information floating around the internet about these products. Like any other tool, it needs to be used properly in order to be most effective.

Like I hinted, in order to use this tool the right way you need to understand a little bit about how it works and where it is best applied.

A Forex robot is a computer or computer program that monitors currencies and does calculations to figure out the best time to buy and sell. These programs help to take some of the guess work out of buying and selling and can help a trader to identify currencies that meet certain criteria, or when certain currencies perform in certain a way. Most of the selling points of Forex robots state that you can simply set them and watch the cash come pouring in. While in some cases this may work, in most cases you are going to need to carefully monitor the program and make sure that it is adjusting to trends in the market. While they can be very profitable they may require a certain amount of intervention to be run effectively. Used properly, and if you have the patience to get to know the programs, they become a powerful tool.

For this automatic approach, forex auto pilot turbo has worked wonders for me: http://fapturboxreview.blogspot.com/ . It offers, among other features, high spread protection system and automated risk scaling. They say "95% winner". Well, only the bottom line counts. In this regard, it has really delivered for me.

I had been watching the forex robot market for months, waiting for the right software to come out. I believe I have found a great one.

Really, get the fundamentals first. Then get your own system and test it offline (do that for weeks, if not months, until your system is well tested), whether you use a robot or not. It really takes a few months - a lot of patience and resilience. But if you are made for it, it is worth it. Read about the psychology of trading (never to underestimate). And then you should be fine.

Stop the insanity! You will bankrupt yourself trying to trade foreign currencies. Unless you are very, very good, and very, very lucky, walk away now!

Go for a diversifed portfolio of high-quality investments, asset allocate properly, and reap the rewards.
