forex market at a glance
Make money even in times of crisis
While the stock market and commercial bank deposits are in
deep depression during the crisis, Forex profits, because any
change in currency can be used to make profit. A falling
market is as profitable for Forex trading as a developing one.

Work while lying in a hammock

All you need to start making money is a computer or a
smart phone and an Internet connection. Your work
space and goals are up to you!

Start with $100

100$ Unlike other finance markets, Forex doesn’t require big
savings for you to take part. You can have significant
results by starting with just 100$.

Easy rules
Unlike stock markets with tens of thousands of different
shares, Forex works with 8 basic currencies which are the
centre of most trades. Moreover, there are significantly less
factors that influence currency exchange rates than in the
stock market.

Take your money whenever you

want
A $50 billion market isn’t just a miraculously beautiful
number – it is also what ensures that you can sell or buy
any amount of currency you wish at any moment.
breaking the biggest forex myth
We strongly advice you to avoid all the resources that are telling you that Forex market is a fairy-tale place
where you can trade 24/7! The timing in forex trading is crucial!

Forex market is open 24 hours a day, but it is not active all this time! In forex trading money is being made
when the market is active - when traders are bidding on the prices, so it is crucial for you to learn about the
most productive hours of the day and of the week for trading the forex!

There are three major sessions of the forex market: London, US and Tokyo session. The busiest times are
when the sessions overlap as traders can then purchase currencies from different continents. The forex
market of London is usually the most active as it involves many countries of the European Union. US
market comes next, so the time when London session intersects with US session usually provides the
biggest returns. Expert traders consider that 10 AM is the best time as this is the period when London
market is preparing to close the trades and traders are getting raedy to move to US market. This creates
big swings in the currency prices thus opening great opportunities for profit.

the golden tool - leverage
Term Leverage
Leverage allows one to go through with
deals involving amounts of money that
exceed the amount originally invested.
This is an opportunity to gain significant
profit with even small changes in
exchange rates.

Example

Leverage: 1:100
Invest $1000.
Trade with $100 000!
Besides, each point by which the exchange
rate changes will be multiplied by 100, in your favour!

The leverage effect, naturally, also works

the other way around – in case of loss it
increases its amount. However, there is a
solution to loss – the Stop-Loss Order.

While using Leverage, the profit poten-

tial is limitless, but the loss will never Make sure you have

platforms let you set a Stop-Loss Order Order before you start
and automatically close the position trading!

deposit.

Trading strategy – example 2
1 Choosing a platform
Even if you’re new to Forex, there are
beginner friendly platforms like ETORO
or Ava FX that offer you an interesting
opportunity – to follow the best traders
and copy their transactions.

2 Follow the leaders TOP traders

watch their activities. Rudolph Boyle Follow

3 Copy their ideas

After you choose a top trader whose
actions you wish to copy, decide upon an
amount of money to invest into copying
his transactions and press “copy”.

$ Profit
Now you can sit back and watch a
professional make transactions for you.
This is also a good way to learn Forex
actions and tips in a real-life trading
environment.

Platform TOP at the end of this e-book
top 10 expert tips for success
1 Start gradually
Don’t open many positions at the
same time. It’s better to choose
fewer positions, but weigh each of
them carefully.
2 Stop-Loss order
People often forget to limit their loss
and therefore have to step out of the
game very soon. With the Stop-Loss
Order, you will be able to control the
situation if the rates change
unexpectedly.
3 Rule of 1/6
Specialists advise against risking
more than 1/6 of your free capital
when you aren’t completely
confident.
4 Stick to the plan
Each good trader has their own plan,
and the best make an effort to hold
on to it. Those who have the time,
make daily transactions, others
choose long-term strategies. Keep it
steady!
5 Multiple time frames
Diferentiate the time frames of
analysis: weekly graphs are used to
observe trends, daily and hourly
graphs – to observe the best time to
open and close positions.
6 Don’t stop the profit
An essential mistake beginners make
is closing the transaction too soon
and thus not using the full profit
potential. Trends last longer than
they might seem at first!
7 Don’t play against
the trend
Transactions against a trend usually
result in loss. Wait for a beneficial
tendency and then make your move!
8 If in doubt, follow
the leader
If you still aren’t confident about
your decisions, choose a platform
that lets you follow leaders and copy
their transactions.
9 Trends have momentum
Beginners often don’t know that
when trends start, they develop
quickly because they are increased by
traders following them. Use trends in
your favour!
10 Close the unsuccessful
Don’t hold unsuccessful positions
open for a long time. Experience
shows that it’s best to close them
early and move on to others.
how to read graphs
The market can be analysed in several time frames: 10 minutes, hours, days, weeks.
It may often seem that these indicators are contradictory. However, they aren’t, you
just need to combine their readings. Analyses of longer time periods show
tendencies, ignoring accidental changes, whereas daily and hourly graphs help in
choosing the moment to open and close positions.

Example

Conclusion

For a successful and precise market analysis, one has to use at least 2-3 time frames!
how to choose the right platform
There are many companies that offer margin trading (Forex) services, and without
the knowledge of the essential criteria, it’s easy to get confused in the large offer
and choose an unsuitable or, in the worst-case scenario, an unreliable service
provider. What is the most important when choosing a platform provider, and how
does one orientate themselves in so many offers? Below is a compilation of some
advice from several professionals in the Forex market, which can be narrowed down
to four basic criteria:

Reputation of the company

Evaluate the popularity of the platform provider – whether
there are any complaints about the services and what those
complaints are, what the customer service is and whether or
not profit payments are ever delayed.

Convenience of the user interface

1 2 3
You have to evaluate how easy and convenient it is to use the
platform, what analytical options and extra tools it uses. It is
best to check it by using demo accounts that are offered by the
best platforms.

Commission for paid transactions

The commission payments for transactions are described by the
Spread, which is the difference between the bid and offer price
of the currency. The bigger it is, the more you will have to pay
the service provider. In commercial banks that offer Forex plat-
forms, these commission payments are usually higher than
independent platforms.

Money transactions
The best platforms provide the opportunity to use
Internet-banks, credit cards or online payment operators –
PayPal or WebMoney, which are the most convenient and easy
methods of receiveing funds.

Full transparency and Reduced risk with

control over the trades
All the data about the copied trades is com-
pletely transparent and easy to access. If you
don’t like how the trade is going you can either
allocate a different amount of your budget to it
or simply close a trade whenever you wish.
proportional trading
Regardless of the amount of funds you set to
copy the trader with, all trading will be done
proportionally. For example if you allocate $500
dollars to a trader who has an account of $5000
and he opens a position with $1000 you will do
the same with $100.
How to choose the right
traders to copy?
1. Use the advanced filters
in Guru search
Traders often miss out the extra filters that lie
under the Risk slider. This is a great tool to find
the best traders that match your risk appetite,
demand for experience and consistency.
3. Keep an eye on the
Profit days.
A new sorting criteria in the ranking system that
allows you to see how consistent is the trader in
his correct decisions. This tool is best used in 6
and 12 month period and it let’s you seperate
the longterm guru’s from those who just got
lucky.

4. Look for gaps!
Observe the profit and loss line – the smaller the
gaps, the better. The gains should be steady - it

uses both fundamental and technical analysis.
