DO NOT ENTER A TRADE WITHOUT A STOP LOSS!

This rule is self explanatory and makes a lot of common sense. It is part of good money management.

This  brings me to another practice that is very common among traders, Signal Providers or developers of automated systems, and that is to bypass the Stop Loss rule by entering a very large Stop Loss. The ratio between Stop Loss and Take Profit can be as large as 100:1 or more.

If one investigates this matter further you arrive at a very surprising finding. The most successful traders with the most followers and the most equity that they manage and who are occupying the number one and two spots at most Signal Providers do NOT use any Stop Losses or use VERY large Stop Losses.

When the number one Signal Provider at of the largest signal providing organization in the world was asked why he does not use Stop Losses, he replied that he managed large draw downs manually and will not change a strategy (no Stop Loss) that has been working for years.

The number one Signal Provider at of a broker service that claims to have the biggest social group of signal providers in the world claims a 100% win ratio, and he also uses VERY large Stop Losses of sometimes as high as 1000 pips and a low profit per trade.

If one investigates further into the leading automated systems and robots in the world you will find the same is also true for them – mostly scalping systems with very large or no Stop Losses and small profit targets. You can lose three months of profit in one loss trade! I know – it has happened to me.

So what is going on? This does not make sense!

Well, the first thing that you must be aware of is that my references are dealing with contestants in trading competitions, Signal Providers that want to impress possible clients with a close to 100% win ratio so that they can get more followers, developers of automated systems that want to sell more of their robots, etc.

But why are they so successful and show such excellent returns? You must understand that there is a relationship between Profit and Risk – the higher the Profit the higher also the Risk. Systems that have high win ratios normally also have large draw downs, long transaction durations and large losses from time to time that can wipe out many months of profits in one go.

But traders following this high risk strategy often have the best performance figures and the most satisfied followers / customers. The number one trader at one of the largest Signal Provider services who applies NO Stop Losses with small Profit Targets and up to 700+ pips draw downs, has 12,592 followers and manages over $21 million in equity! His top follower has made a profit of 4,124 pips this past year. One trader at another Signal Provider using +- 1000 pips Stop Losses has 20,587 followers of which 3,252 copies his trades automatically. He is showing a 145% profit over the past 6 months.

So is there perhaps a way to profit from these high risk systems and make good profits with acceptable risk?

The first thing to realize is that the percentage win ratio by itself is not a reliable guideline for making a profit. Let us take for example a system with 96% win ratio with a Stop Loss of 1000 pips, a Profit Take of 15 pips, a lot size of one standard lot, and a maximum of only one trade open at a time.

If you have 1 maximum loss in 100 trades and 3 of average losses of say 200 pips your total loss will amount to 1600 pips = $16,000. Your winnings will be 96 trades of 15 pips each giving you a 1,440 pips = $14,400 gross profit.  This gives you a net loss of $1,600. So in spite of having a win ratio of 96% you can still be in danger of a net loss. Furthermore, the higher the win ratio is the more risk there normally is in the strategy.

So we will have to look wider for dependable guidelines to profit from these high risk – high profit systems.

The first priority is to ensure that your account will be able to cater for the high draw downs and losses that can be expected. There are two ways to do this:

• Have a large enough equity in your account to be able to survive all possible draw downs and losses without a margin call to close the account – often at the worst position – and leave enough equity to sustain your original position sizing for recovery purposes.
• Use small position sizing, that can be lot sizes consisting of mini or micro lots, to limit your exposure per transaction in order to withstand any draw down and series of losses.

But when you are reasonably safe from most foreseeable draw downs and losses you find that your return on investment (ROI) has dropped to a low percentage and the high %profits that you expected to make, requires too high an investment or otherwise very low profits per transaction. Suddenly you realize that with limited equity you can have the same ROI with a system with a much lower win ratio, but also has a much lower draw down and smaller Stop Losses, and therefore much less risk.

So you must ask yourself the question, is it worth the stress and the danger of large draw downs and possible huge  losses in order to make the same ROI that could be made with a much safer trading strategy?

So – perhaps the rule of having a Stop Loss makes sense after all!

In my next article I will continue to look at this issue and then propose a business and scientific way of approaching Forex trading that reduces risk to a minimum, but at the same time nearly guarantees a profitable outcome to Forex Trading.

Danger? Or Opportunity? is a post from: Business Ideas Warehouse

In other scenarios, live answering service hires a bigger labour force in one place to offer phone reporting on phone banks. In each case, the client’s incoming phone calls are replied in a manner where the caller can think that he has contacted the office of the client where there is a live person as a receptionist.

A call centre is a type of telephone answer service well suited to serve huge businesses having a higher volume of the incoming calls. Furthermore, when day and night as well as 7 days per week coverage is needed, a call centre becomes a more realistic choice, since several services don’t provide this feature. The call centres hire high numbers of staff who perform their work in shifts to offer long hours coverage for the customers. Some companies even possess call centres as component of their organization, whereas others can hire outside companies for the same purpose.
All the telephone answering services do not have a live person answering calls. Some of the services can be automated, using either the internet technology or may be software applications. While not offering the advantage to give callers the idea of live personnel at the office, the services appear to be considerably less expensive compared to manned answering services. In addition, as the callers can leave a recorded-voice message, the probability of errors in this communication reduces greatly. Some of the services as well convey an immediate text message or e-mail to the client notifying him that someone has left a voice message, prompting the profession to look for the messages immediately as they come.

Certain types of the telephone answering services include specially qualified personnel equipped towards certain industries. For instance, a doctor might need a phone answering service which hires people who have knowledge of the basic medical terminology.

When choosing a telephone answering service to use in a company there are a number of things you need to consider. For instance, you can consider how fast they pledge to respond to your calls and if they guarantee the callers will never get a busy signal as well as unanswered call. In addition, you can consider if an answering service can offer a listing of messages or give e-mail, fax messages and text services as well.

The Role Of A Telephone Answering Service is a post from: Business Ideas Warehouse

A mail forwarding service, also known as a registered address service can be very good for small companies who want to make their company sound bigger than it actually is. They can keep different mail forwarding addresses for the company and house and keep it safe and secure. Mail forwarding services can often be tailor made to your requirements allowing you to opt for the one that suits you the best.

A mail forwarding services objectives are very clear and straight forward. The usual procedure involves a simple sign up process and once completed you will be given a new registered address.

Mail Forwarding, Not Just For Businesses:
A mail forwarding address can also be useful for individuals as well as businesses too, particularly people that like to shop abroad but do not ship outside of their native country. A mail forwarding address truly comes into its own in this scenario. There are many auction sites in Japan for example which do not ship outside of the country. I have personally used a Japanese registered address in the past and then had the packages forwarded to me without incident, very useful indeed.

What To Look For In A Mail Forwarding Service:
You need to ensure that the mail forwarding company that you choose offers the basics,
It really needs  to have a warehouse that functions. Make sure the company has a system that keeps your mail safe and sorted. As well, you want to make sure that they are able to send out your mail no matter where you are located. It would also be very good to ask about payment options before committing to a particular service, any registered address service worth their salt should be upfront about their charges in the first instance, just pay attention to what you are committing too, for example, is it a twelve month contract? And so on.

The next thing you must look at is its delivery speed and the delivery time. This can vary from company to company and you must make sure that you chose a company which delivers the goods very quickly. Also ensure that the important messages do not go into the spam folder of the registered mail address. These little things do matter in the long run and hence, proper research is definitely a must before you chose a mail forwarding address.

Do Your Research Before Committing to a Particular Registered Address Service:

All of these worst case scenarios can easily be avoided if you are prepared to put in a little time and effort into research before committing to a particular registered address service. Most registered address services are trust worthy but as always there are a few bad apples that spoil it for everybody…

There are a lot of things you must look for before you decide to take the services of any mail forwarding company. Here are a few of the tips which will help you through the process.

Research:

The first and the foremost thing you should do is research; look to see whether the mail forwarding company is good enough to be trusted. In this scenario, you should only go with highly reputed companies which have high customer feedback. You can be always on the safe side if your mail forwarding company is an established one with a good reputation.

If you are not confident enough that the mail forwarding service will ensure the delivery of the mail to your clients then you can never work freely. Hence, trust on the mail forwarding company becomes a must while you are running any kind of business.

Choose a reputable company:

This also demands you to go with some internationally reputed company for mail forwarding service. With this you can be confident enough that your mails will be reached in time and can work without any fear and tension and concentrate on what you do best, supplying products or services to your customers.

You need not get involved into the matter whether the mail is delivered or not because the company takes the responsibility of everything and forwards the mail onto your address when convenient. The communication between you and your customers is purely managed by the company provided you chose one of the best mail forwarding services available in the market.

Pay Attention to any hidden charges:

The first thing anyone interested in a mail forwarding service is to look for any service charges in advance before committing to the service. You do not want to pay more than you have to, to a mail forwarding company and give out a share of profit amount from your business. This is why thorough research will pay dividends later on down the line. Most companies are up front about their charges, with some even offering a free mail forwarding trial to their services, but it is the unscrupulous ones you need to watch out for.

Hopefully I haven’t scared you from using mail forwarding services, for every bad apple their are many good ones so try not to worry to much!

What To Look Out For When Choosing A Mail Forwarding Service is a post from: Business Ideas Warehouse

If you think you do not need all or any of the income you get from your hybrid income annuity, you might as well want to invest it in a vehicle that adds diversity to your portfolio. Diversification simply means not putting all of your eggs into one basket. For instance, if you had all of your cash in Internet and other startup stocks in 2000, you could have lost over 60% when those went down in 2000-2002. If, rather, you had put 50% of your cash into a diversified S&P 500 fund and 50% in good-quality bonds, your deficits could have been lower than 30% in the same period of time. Therefore, diversification is important.

Investing on Real Estate

One great option for retirees, who have extra cash from their annutiy, is to invest in real estate. Even though the market in real estate has taken a hit, this opens the door for you to get in at an affordable price. You may want to investigate first before you invest though, to ensure that you that prices of properties in the area are going to go up. Bear in mind, as well, that real estate is not liquid. Your cash may be bound for months, even years, if you fail to sell a property.

Rental Home. Some retirees have opt to buy a rental home. With the market being low, it is often quick to get a cheap house, repair it, and rent it out as a stream of income. Ensure that it will produce positive cash flow, and that you can enjoy possessing and keeping the property for your renters.

Apartment or Commercial Buildings. You may also put money into apartments, commercial buildings or office space, or even bare land. However there are also real estate investment trusts (REITs) and ETFs tied to these kind of real estate. They generally pay regular dividends, up to 5% annually, and can be a less complicated way to get in on the real estate market. They are also liquid, therefore you can get your money anytime.

In case all of your living expenses were already covered… and you wish to use a hybrid index annuity to obtain some extra earnings you can use in order to pursue other investment options, then choosing the right hybrid income annuity is important. Here are some of the features you may want for a Hybrid Income Annuity:

• 8.2% Guaranteed Roll-up per year
• 10% bonus… so if you put in $100k now, you will automatically get a 10% bonus = Start with $110k from day one
• A $100k deposit = Guaranteed income account $241,916 in 10-years
• The opportunity to make up to 26% per year (market upside without the downside)
• Lifetime earnings without having to lose control of the money = “don’t commit annuicide”
• Double your income (x2) for home health care, assisted living, and long-term care
• Low fees (less than 1%)

From time to time, individuals will criticize those who specialize in annuities by stating that they only recommend their investments and do not try to help investors get diversified investment portfolios. Most annuity specialists have an insurance license, so they do not have the right to offer clients other forms of investments. Even if they wish to help clients diversify, they just cannot. Therefore, it is imperative that you find an investment strategist that is licensed and highly competent in multiple investment options. This person should be able to give you a full range of investment solutions.

Real Estate Investment Options For Retirees is a post from: Business Ideas Warehouse

The stock market is where the general public can invest and become part owners of listed companies by purchasing available shares or stock of the company. These investors or “stock/shareholders” earn by buying or selling, i.e. “trading”, their shares based on its price in the market at any given time.

However, the stock market, just like any venture investment, involves risks. It’s a gamble (albeit an educated one with the right knowledge) and you have to be mentally and financially prepared before you get involved. Yet, you can minimize your risks with proper planning and adequate knowledge about the companies you intend to invest in.

Here are some basic rules to help you get started making money investing in the stock market.

Rule Number One: Only invest your extra cash or money you can afford to lose. Yes you can double, triple even quadruple your initial investment. But you can also lose big time for reasons that are beyond your control.

Rule Number Two: Be very clear about your intentions. Are you buying stocks as a long-term investment? Or are you in the market for the short haul? Your answer will help you choose the company you will invest in.

For example, premier companies like Coca-Cola, Chevron and Procter & Gamble are the safest and most sought after investments given their years of stability and ability to weather economic or industry downturns.

These companies are called “blue chips” and their shares normally command a higher price.

Prices of these shares are not subject to sudden surges and tailspins in share prices, making them an excellent long-term investment. In addition, such companies more often than not pay dividends in good times and bad.

In contrast, volatile high-risk stocks can turn in huge profits within a short period of time. But you can also expect dramatic drops in share price, losses of which you may or may not regain even over an extended period of time.

Such stocks are usually associated with new companies or those which just recently opened their ownership to the public. Its stock price can initially skyrocket in value as investors and traders speculate on the company’s potential for success. But once the “furor” dies down, its price begins to fall, possibly to an amount lower than your buying price.

Another kind of high risk shares are the overpriced stocks which tend to show too much price momentum within a very short period of time. Amazon, for example, peaked in the US$100 range in 1999 but ended up trading at only US$15 per share by the end of 2000. It took quite a while before its value climbed to about US$50 in 2008 minus the effect of inflation on the true value of a dollar.

As a beginner in the stock market game, your two best options are:

1. Play it safe and invest in blue chip stocks but be prepared to hold on to these over an extended period of time in order to realize substantial profits; and
2. Spread your investment, that is, choose a variety of stocks (which can either be all blue chips, or in combination with high-risk shares). This should help you recover possible losses from one type by gains in the others.

Rule Number Three: Understand how the stock market works. Read. Probe. Ask friends and colleagues who own stocks about their experiences and learning. Find out what factors they consider before investing on a particular share. How do they decide when to buy or sells their stocks?

Rule Number Four: Be an “active” investor. Don’t leave it all up to a broker to decide how to manage your shares. This is also the best way to understand how stocks behave in various situations. Keep abreast with developments in the business world, the environment, in the particular industry where your chosen company is doing business. Attend stockholders meetings and understand your company’s financial health, its plans and programs, the challenges it faces.

Once you’ve considered all these factors and still remain upbeat about your prospects in making money investing in the stock market, it’s time to buy your shares which can either be preferred, or common shares. Each type of share has its distinct privilege and right for the shareholder.

Preferred shares are ranked and valued higher (and cost more) than common shares being the more stable investment because it guarantees a regular dividend. Preferred stocks are also prioritized over common stocks when it comes to the payment of dividends, and in the distribution of a company’s assets in case of bankruptcy. Holders of preferred shares, however, do not get voting rights in the business unlike common share holders.

Aside from enjoying voting rights, common stocks, meanwhile, can also rake in more profit for its holder depending on how much the company is valued or rated by investors (also called capital appreciation). As ratings rise, the price of common stocks almost always follows, giving its owner a chance to earn more if he decides to sell.

You can purchase either of these stocks through a brokerage or through Direct Investment Plans or Dividend Reinvestment Plans. In the case of using a broker, you have the option of obtaining the services of a full service brokerage or a discount brokerage; the latter definitely charging less in terms of service fee but also offering less assistance.

A Direct Investment Plan, in contrast, lets you buy stocks directly from the company but usually only after you have already purchased stocks earlier on. The other type is through a Dividend Reinvestment Plan which allows you to automatically buy stock using the dividends given you by the company. No “cash out” on your part and you likewise increase your dividend as your number of shares purchased increases. In both cases, however, first check that the company you are interested does offer such plans.

Make Money Investing in Stocks is a post from: Business Ideas Warehouse

However, as the supply of money increases daily, and the dark spectre of inflation looms constantly on the horizon, investing in gold is becoming a popular way of protecting your savings from inflation. In fact, precious metals have been a valued form of currency and safeguard against monetary debasement in societies throughout history.

Today you are going to learn how to invest in gold for the first time. Rather than overwhelm you with confusing technical debates, the aim is to show you some simple strategies you can use to maximize your profits and minimize your risks.

There are three main steps to follow when you invest in gold for the first time. They are:

1. Set a budget and stick to it

I cannot stress highly enough the importance of budgeting when investing in precious metals. Remember that any investment carries an inherent element of risk. Even sticking your money in the bank to gain some meagre amount of interest is not 100% safe; you operate under the assumption that the bank won’t close overnight, and that the money you deposited is there for withdrawal when you want it.

If you want to learn how to invest in gold then you must learn how to budget, and then stick vehemently to it. Do not invest more than you can afford to lose. So for example, if you can only risk $1000, don’t be tempted to invest any more – until you have seen returns, at which point you may invest more.

2. Decide what you are investing in gold for

There are two main cams of gold investors -p those who view the yellow metal as a hedge against inflation/currency safeguard (and who therefore prefer to hold physical metal) and then there are those who would rather actively trade the metal for a profit.

If you have a larger budget and have experience in “trading” forms of investment then by all means try to turn a profit from gold. There is a large element of speculation in the gold market, and there will always be money to be made from buying low and selling high.

However, for the vast majority of first time gold investors, you should look to holding on to the metal as a form of monetary safeguard. This will minimize the risk of losing your initial investment. Moreso, the general trend of gold prices is to rise over time with the debasement of fiat currency, so by playing the “waiting game” you can build a healthy nest egg.

3. Read widely on gold investment

If you want to learn how to invest in gold, then one of the most important things you can do is read widely on the subject.

There are many books on gold investment that are worth a read. However, a couple of prominent examples spring to mind – Rich Dad’s Guide to Investing in Gold & Silver, When Money Dies by Adam Fergusson, and William Rees-Mogg’s The Case for Gold.

Also, subscribe to popular gold investment websites such as Kitco and JS Mineset.

The more you read on gold, the better informed you will be, and the more likely you will be to succeed.

So to conclude, learning how to invest in gold when you’re starting out isn’t actually as daunting as it might seem. Start off by setting a budget, then decide your “investment intent”, then read widely to improve your knowledge and skills.

However you do need to be careful as forex trading is not as simple as it sounds. A lot of people will try to make you believe that trading is a walk in the park. But nothing is farther from the truth. The foreign exchange business is a risky business and in order for you to get the most out of it, you have to have trading skills and patience to go along with it.

Learning how to trade however is a simpler thing. There are a lot of tools and resources available out there, especially on the internet, that you can put to use to help you learn the ropes of trading forex and develop your knowledge and skills.

So what exactly is forex trading and how can we make money trading forex?

In the simplest of terms, forex trading is the process of buying and selling currencies with the main purpose of reaping profits and rewards from the currencies’ differences in value during the time of trades. It is not that different from buying and selling stocks in the stock market. If you have experience when it comes to stock trading, then it’s going to be a lot easier and smoother for you to transition to forex trading.

The main objective of trading forex is to exchange a foreign currency that you already own for another currency with the hope that the one you bought will raise in value. Whether you are a beginner or an accomplished trader, it’s not too hard to find forex trading to be both exciting and a lot of fun. It can really become very addictive especially if you make good profits at your initial trades.

In forex trading the prices of the currencies are always quoted in pairs. For instance, they can be quoted in USD/JPY or USD/GBD. This is because more often than not you are selling one currency as well as buying another. If you are looking to make money in forex, the differences in the values of the currencies you’re trading is where the money is made.

When it comes to forex trading, the general rule is that you don’t trade when you’re not 100% ready. Being ready means to have an idea how trading works and knowing the basic trading strategies.

The best way to gain this experience before you really trade is by using a demo account. In this demo account you’ll get to buy and sell currencies just like the way it is done in the real world except that you are using virtual or fake money.

A demo account enables you to grasp how things are run in the real trading platform. There are no risks attached to it because you are using imaginary money. These demos are more often than not free to use so there is no reason why you shouldn’t take advantage of them before you put any real money upfront.

Before you make your first real forex trade, make sure you do the following:

1. Know everything you can about forex trading. The more you know the better the chances you have in being successful on your trades. This is where a lot of aspiring traders make their mistakes. They just dive in into the mix without getting themselves prepared first. There are numerous ways of learning forex. There are of course the demo accounts we mentioned earlier. And don’t forget the internet; everything you need to know about forex trading is just a few clicks away so take advantage of online resources including blogs, websites and discussion forums.
2. Familiarize yourself with all of the common terms used in forex trading. Just a single term you have no idea about can easily turn things upside down when you’re there trading. Learn all of the terms so that when they come up, you’ll know what they mean and most important of all you know what to do.
3. Keep yourself updated with the recent trends and happenings in currencies, economies, and financial situations in countries whose currencies you usually trade. Laws, policies and certain news can greatly affect the way in which currency values go up or down and knowing these things can help you to spot the right time to buy and sell specific currencies.
4. Read blogs and websites about forex trading. There are a lot of these sites online many of which you can browse free of charge. So read them and digest what you read. If you have the budget for it, subscribe to premium newsletters or magazines. The information and data you can gather from these sources will help you a lot and you can never get enough education.

There are also a lot of different online tools and resources that you can utilize to help you get the most out of forex trading. One of these is a premium forex trading system. In the simplest of terms, a premium forex trading system guides you in deciding on your trades.

Sometimes, it even dictates what and when you should trade. Many use automated software programs to spot trends, peaks, troughs, and ebbs and flows in the numerous currency markets – something which just can’t be done manually with as much ease.

A premium forex trading system is certainly a good way to start trading, especially if you are just getting started.

As stated earlier, there are people out there who will tell you how to make money in forex and push their offers as easy and fast. They make the impression that forex trading is a make-money-quick scheme when in reality it’s not.

The truth is it’s hard to make money in a forex market if you don’t have the proper training, skills and passion to learn everything you can about the business. You can also risk a lot of money by making the wrong trades based on uneducated guesses. And if there is one virtue that you need to have as a trader, that virtue would have to be patience.
