Foreword
Market Eye is a private trading company focused on turning a regular
Joe into a profitable trader, small time or big time

This
book is not to draw the reader out of the doubts/fraud/scams/myth
which surround forex trading

trading (take money)

The sole purpose being to reduce
red tape for newbies

material, it’s about your brain

For the last 30 days as you open trading account(s)
...
Yes! In this period we are not trying to make money
for a vacation, we are simply trying to solidify and assure our
inner hustler that we are ready

It’s a no brainer that if you live in USA and you want to visit Japan, you
will obviously look for their local money or currency for you buy
anything in the streets of japan
...
These activities creates a market of
buyers and sellers of different currencies
...

The forex market is one of the biggest if not the biggest market there
is
...
This change has created the well-known
now online forex trading
...
Be it in speed, efficiency, security or profit margins
...

Imagine you fly from California to Tokyo, with US dollars
With a $100 dollar note, as you enter the bank in Tokyo to buy
Japanese money and sell your American dollars, the bank tells you
$1 is equivalent to ¥90 (exchange rate)
...

After two weeks as you come back to California you do the same but
opposite, you try to dispose yens and acquire dollars
...
The bank now tells you $1 is equivalent to ¥85
...
8823
...
8823-$100 = $5
...

Not much yes, but I think you get the story, you just made over $5 jus
for holding yens for two weeks, simple right, yeah!
Now imagine, a broker (to be explained later)
...

Meaning you starting with $50 000
...

You will walk away with $52941
...
176
...

What to take away
...
The
market is always moving, rates will change and finally trading is a very
risky business, not gambling, risky business
...

The last example is pretty much how forex works,
There are many players (market maker, banks, equity firms, brokers,
and the like) they are also people like you we call the regular Joe, (retail
trader)
...

Yes everyone has been there
...
And loosing is
the same too
...

For you the trader, it might take 5 minutes or less to lose $20 000
...

The market will rip you apart, psychologically, in ways you never
thought possible
...
It’s important that you understand
what your weaknesses are, and face them head on
...
Whoever you are, an English or a
Chinese, a Bengali or a German, an Arabic or Japanese can earn from
Forex

10 to 20% can make
profit

It’s
not suitable for all
...
You have
proper knowledge in other subjects
...

You’ve been made to think that trading is complicated, that the
markets are very difficult to understand, that all markets are
different, that trading stocks and currency’s is a completely different
animal, well let me tell you this, its BULLSHIT!!!
Trading isn’t complicated, trading is simple, all markets are traded in
the same way by the people who trade them
...
We look at the markets in
a totally different way to Retail traders, we understand what they are,
we’re not cleverer than you are, and it’s just that we’ve had a
different education to you
...

If you knew how simple trading really is then you would understand
that what you’ve been taught thus far is so far from the truth that you
wouldn’t believe it, trend lines, chart patterns, indicators, multiple
time frames are not how the markets function, however due to the
nature of the training you have received it is your reality
...
Trading platforms
If you have placed some bets before for sports or horses, you have
realized there are so many bookkeepers or brokers who keep tabs on
who bet on what who lost what and who won what
...
This section helps you know how to differentiate
these brokers
...

Good practice is to test a few and get the feel of how forex orders are
placed and executed
...




Do they offer attractive margin rates? – If you can anticipate a
return higher than the interest you’re paying on the loan, then
generous margin rates will allow you to trade big with capital
you don’t have to hand
...
You need to look at the fine print to ensure you
won’t get stung by hidden costs later down the line, such as
when you want to withdraw your money
...




Will you need a minimum deposit? - Some brokers will require
you to put down significant capital in order to open an account
and start trading
...




Does the broker have a daily trading limit? – Some limits are
imposed to protect against extreme volatility and market
manipulation
...




Do they offer different account types? – Different accounts will
come with varying costs and attractive perks
...

Trading Platform Features


Do they have high tech, informative tools for research and
analysis? – You will need live price quotations, plus detailed
charts and access to historical data will also help you trade
smarter
...




How quick and efficient is their order execution? This is massively
important if you’re day trading, as just a few seconds could cost
you serious cash
...
This highlights the
need to test drive your broker first
...
Most brokers offer several to
choose from, some will tick the boxes for the average day
trader, others will offer more advanced platforms for the
veteran trader
...
If trading on your
mobile phone is important, then checking the apps compatibility
(Android, iOS or Windows etc) will be vital
...
Some brokerages offer 24/7 customer support,
with call waiting times of less than one minute
...
You don’t want to be sending an order to a train desk
which then initiates it in the market
...
By the time you’ve confirmed you want
to proceed, your opportunity has probably vanished
...
Trading without a broker means zero
free credit for trial and error
...
Some
brokerages won’t offer you a penny on that balance, but some
will give you 3-5%
...

Supply and demand
The key driver of forex movement is supply and demand
...

Economy
Economic factors are the most basic things that create changes in a
country’s currency
...

Other conditions may also include inflation trends, and the general
economic growth of the country
...
After all, the
market is highly dependent on whether or not people would want to
invest on a country’s economy in order to determine whether
currency prices will go up or down
...
Strong decreases in employment indicate a contracting
economy, while strong increases are perceived indicators of a
prosperous economy
Interest Rates
this is always a major focus in the forex market
...

Inflation
this is the measure of increases or decreases in pricing levels over a
period of time
...
Increases in pricing
indicate an increase in the inflation rate which in turn can devalue
that country's currency
...

Trade and Capital Flows
Currency values can be significantly impacted by monetary flows that
result from certain interactions between countries
...

Increased investments in a country can lead to the opposite result
...
It's released on the first Friday of
each month, alongside the unemployment rate
...
The outcome of an FOMC meeting can
markedly affect the Forex market, should there be any disparity from
the expected course

Consumer Confidence Index
The Consumer Confidence Index, There are many consumer surveys,
but these two are the best known and the most widely followed by
economists and Forex/CFD traders
...
The report is compiled by the Federal Reserve
and published around the middle of each month
...
To fill the gaps, the Fed makes
estimates using proxies, such as hours worked from the Employment
Situation report or amount of power used in the month by the
industry in question
...
Unlike economic
news, the release of which is known beforehand, most geopolitical
events, such as terrorist attacks, natural disasters, defaults, etc
...
At the same time, the effect from the
release of such news quickly loses its power and, as a rule, the new
trend does not last long
...

I think you get what’s happening: this section needs proper
understanding and further research (forex calendar) to avoid surprises
when you are trading
...

I now understand the risk involved
...

I will take what I read from the internet at face
value, there is no bible for forex,
I will avoid trading for the sake of trading
I will definitely make sure that I know what I’m
doing before I enter the markets

Trading strategies
How to Create a Solid Forex Strategy
One biggest mistake for many new traders is starting to trade Forex
without a solid Forex trading strategy
...
’ a day
and you can trade when the market is going up or when the market is
going down and in the eagerness to make money, or prove
themselves they dive headlong into trading
...

You can make a fortune trading currencies in the short term but soon
this will lead to a bad psychology and trading discipline problems and
you’ll end up blowing up your forex trading account
...

To be successful in Forex trading, you’ve got to have a strategy/plan
in place which you must follow
...
Reason for taking the trade: why buy or sell? And
what currency pair?
2
...
Trading objective: what’s the profit target? What’s
your stop loss?

...
Documenting and analysing your trading results?
This identifies your strengths are well as
weaknesses
...


List of common fundamental known strategies
Understanding the fundamentals of the largest global economies and
their impact on the currency market is complicated
...


Demo trading

This is where real work start
...

Your eye should be seeing, potential trade entries and exits
...
Online videos and popular sites are not bad,
however take it at face value
...

22

Note: treat your demo accounts like real money from word go and you
will defiantly see the light of day, if you play around, so will be you’re
trading
...
Whether you have
money to trade or not
...
(1st week)
 From day one, always treat your demo like real money
 Never do things on demo you know you would not do on a live
account
...

 Don’t jump from strategy to strategy, do one at a time as you
see which one really flows with your personality
 Never use one demo at a time
...

 Spend your 1st week trading random, don’t aim profits, aim to
get used to pulling the trigger and seeing money go up or down
...


Instructions
...

 Take time aside before you trade to analyze the market
properly
...
Have a general sense of your work
for the day
...
(3rd and fourth week)
 By now we know how to set profit calls, stop losses, trailing
stop, and trailing profit and the like
...

 If a strategy is not giving profits in two days, leave it, provided
you are using it correctly
...
It’s time to focus on
making it a solid methodology in your mind
...

 Make sure you are not doing things you wouldn’t do in a live
account
...
(Demo to live)
One of the biggest mistake newbies do is to separate demo and live,
you can’t separate them they are married, by you monitoring them at
the same time, and you also have a chance of checking the effects of
the human factor to your trading, this is the time to see what your
human problem is, greed, cold feet, patience, hot feet, etc
...


How to transition
...

Secondly, as you sit on your computer to trade
...

When you get a lock on your mojo, move smoothly to live, if you can,
duplicate your trades live and demo for the 1st few days
...

Make sure you have them run concurrently for the best results
...
It keeps you grounded
