Getting Started in Currency Trading - Part 2

Market analyst and broker, Carley Garner presents the second of a two part series on currency trading. The concept of currency in civilization dates back to the ancient Egyptians but the ability for the average speculator to participate in the speculation of such is a relatively new concept. As technology improves, so does access to the markets and along with lower barriers to entry, popularity has soared. The currency markets are extremely complex and adding to the confusion of entry-level speculators is the choices in trading arenas. The most renowned venue to trade currencies is FOREX, or simply FX, but the oldest are currency futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). The new kid on the block and perhaps the least efficient method of placing wagers on currency fluctuations is the Exchange Traded Fund (ETF). The purpose of this class is to provide readers with an objective and informative point of view to enable educated decision-making.

Against the Wind: Why Some Traders Fight the Trend

Traders are an independent breed; we march to the beat of our own drum. This tendency has its advantages and disadvantages. On the plus side, traders tend to be creative and adventuresome, seeing opportunity where others fear to tread. On the down side, we sometimes adopt such a 'contrary' attitude that we consistently miss out on major trends and/or fight them. This results in high levels of stress, emotional meltdowns and unnecessary losses. This webinar explores the mindset of 'Contrary Traders' and lays out a road map for how to change this attitude. Webinar presenter, Dr. Kenneth Reid, holds a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. Kenneth trades the S&P E-mini futures and has been a trading coach since 2002.

The mechanics of options are similar to that of an insurance policy and are, therefore, priced to lose.

Please join market analyst, broker and author, Carley Garner as she highlights the following: *What exactly is option selling *Comparing option selling to casino theory *Understanding the role of implied volatility in time value erosion *Timing is everything, even for option sellers! *Risk management *Selling strangles *Margin call management, don't liquidate...adjust!

This is a "must see" for anyone interested in a short option trading strategy.

Stress: The Enemy Hidden in Plain Sight

Everyone knows that trading is stressful, but few pay attention to the consequences of stress or try to reduce it. Big mistake. Your stress hormones probably have more influence on your daily bottom line than your trading method. Stress makes all your bad habits ten times worse. If trading stresses you out, you will not be able to trade at your highest potential. Why? After you reach your Stress Threshold, your brain shifts its processing cores from the prefrontal (Executive Function) to the mid-brain (Emotional Function). Bye bye trading plan. This webinar will teach you everything you need to know to master stress. It presents a 1-minute Self-Test that will help you identify your Personal Stress Profile and will detail 15 things you can do today to lower your stress while trading.

Getting Started in Option Selling

The characteristics of unlimited profit potential and limited risk lure traders to long options but we argue that limited risk doesn't necessarily mean less risk.
