Does anyone make any consistent profits forex trading?

Been studying Forex for a few years now and struggling to find consistency but also starting to wonder if its actually possible to be consistent in this market. Do you have a consistent method or approach? Would you mind sharing it with me or perhaps even mentoring me? Not looking to be Warren Buffett – just looking to support my family with alternative sources of income. Any assistance would be gratefully appreciated even if its just directing me towards sources or other Forex systems.

Forex Trading Brokers Reviews

ForEx brokers and limit order reliability?

Are most online ForEx brokers like FXCM or MB trading good at hitting your limit buy and sell orders? I’ve read so many mixed reviews online about slippage, scalping, etc. Many horror stories, but stories of success. If I have a plan that I’ve tested on a simulator that works, will it work with one of these brokers? (the simulator uses the same spread essentially with real historical data)

I have traded both MB Trading and FXCM live and have not had significant liquidity issues with either. However, to answer your question as to whether “most online brokers” are good at “hitting your limit buy and sell orders” mainly depends on the position size your attempting to enter the market with, the time of day and currency pair your attempting to trade.

And to answer your question whether your “simulator” will work with “one of these brokers” really depends on which code the simulator was created in. Is it an Expert Advisor coded for Metatrader? If so, MB Trading does not yet support the Metatrader software ( though are Rep there tells us they are working on it). MB uses the MBT Navigator which is much more difficult to create auto trading software for. FXCM recently began using Metatrader in conjunction with their FX Trading Station 2.0. Their Metatrader platform has huge drawbacks including not allowing demo accounts, not supporting multi-user accounts, and reportedly experiencing problems communicating between their FX Trading Station trade servers and their Metatrader Trade servers. I would recommend you google “Metatrader broker reviews” and find the brokers that best works for your situation.

How do people know that BOJ invervened in Forex market?

There were any signs such as significant Yen’s price change, trading volume or anything else? Or BOJ just confessed after the intervention? I’m newbie in Forex so i need a clear explanation.
Thank you so much!

Pull up a daily trading chart of USD/JPY currency pair. You will see a significant rally in USD (and simultaneous decline in JPY) happen on 9/14.

This was the result of BOJ intervening by selling JPY against USD. Estimates of the size of the intervention are ¥1.5 trillion, or a little over $17.6 Billion.

Forex Trading Pitfalls

forex trading pitfalls
Is it possible to obtain wealth from trading options?

Such as call and put options. Also does anyone know about forex trading? What tax benefits or pitfalls might one incur trading options?

Theoretically yes.

However MOST people accumulate wealth by investing. Trading options or forex is speculating, not investing. In other words, it is gambling. You can be well skilled and educated and still lose your behind very,very quickly.

Such trading is at the top of the risk charts, so yes, potential returns can be impressive but they come with a very sharp potential for a complete loss.

When you invest in stocks, bonds or mutual funds, you still have a risk of loss, but the odds of a total loss are slim, and you usually have time to get out before suffering a huge loss (unless you are also speculating with high volatility stocks).

Investing is not speculating. Investing combines an educated guess (no one really can guarantee a profit) with a moderation of risk. A lot of research shows that most investors do not do better by taking on higher than average risks. In other words, slower and steady wins the race.

As to tax issues. There are no benefits to short-term trading of any security. In fact all profits are taxed at your highest marginal rate. This is one more reason why trading rarely results in huge profits. By the time you subtract ticket charges and taxes you have to have a really big profit for you to end up with a better after tax return.

There are conservative strategies for options when combined with stocks you own. These strategies can add income to your portfolio without being significantly speculative.

People build genuine wealth by staying out of debt, by spending less than they earn, and by investing the difference wisely. If you start this as young as possible and routinely increase the amount you are saving and investing, you will build significant wealth.

However, just as with playing in Vegas, speculating is gambling and while a few walk away long term winners, it is ONLY a few that do win. In the short term, anyone can have a measure of luck, but in the long run, it is pretty rare.

The traders that survive on options and forex are big boys, with big wells of cash and years of training (and losing) behind them. They survive as much off the thrill as the wins.

But understand this, any wealthy trader is never playing with his full pot. He still has most of his assets in more secure investments. In fact, studies have shown that those that take the biggest risks with some of their money, have most their money in ultra-conservative investments. This is how they balance the high risk choices they make.

But if you’re still determined, start reading, take a class and paper trade (trading simulation) for several months so you can establish techniques and indicators that work for you. Until you have both skill and discipline, you might as well just take a lighter to your money.

Forex Trading Tax Free

Investing as a sole proprietorship vs individual for tax purposes?

If I wanted to set up a sole proprietorship company for my day-trading/investing in the stock market/forex…

Can I write off all of the stuff I would need (a % of utilities, courses, new computer to trade with, etc) as business expenses and claim the investment revenue as Capital Gains so that 50% of it is automatically tax free right off the top, or would I have to declare it as business revenue and pay based on the full amount?

If I can’t offset expenses as a company but claim the earnings as capital gains then it probably isn’t worth it, right?

Whether your day trading/investing as “sole proprietorship vs individual” is the same for tax purposes, i.e., reporting the transactions on your personal tax return (T1 return), rather than in a corporation tax return (T2 return).

If you are serious in your day trading business (proven stock knowlege, # of trading transactions daily and time involved), and if your trading has a reasonable expectation of profit (making money), you may deduct a reasonable share of expenses mentioned by you. However, that means you have to report the gain 100%, not 50%.

On the other hand, if the CRA considers that your day trading has no reasonable expectation of profit, it may deny all your “business” expenses.

Capital gains are generallly for stock investments with a buy and hold strategy, rather than for day traders who flips their stocks daily or within a short time (known as “adventure in the nature of trade” in taxation). Under the capital gain scenario, you may deduct your interest or margin charges for the stock purchases.
