Please be aware I have lost money too and i have also gained money from forex, at first losing seemed to be the easiest one. However like anything in time one can improve and get better and better so i will begin with my list of tips to trading winning trades rather than losing trades.

10 Ways to Stop Losing Trades in Forex

1. Always start small – When a beginner to forex always start small with your first trades for weeks and weeks until you feel you are getting a higher than 80% success rate. Do not start big, you will lose it, forex is very emotional and not a place for gamblers.
2. A good starting trade for those starting out in forex is a mini account (less than $400 dollars), you can do a demo free account but you will find it will not be the same as real money which is what you need to learn. Instead start small and risk little money. An example of a trade that is little to me is 1 trade of say buy trade of aud/ usd  0f 20 dollars at risk level 50 or smaller which does a pip count of 10 cents or lower. That way if you lose a trade it is only a couple of dollars, not hundreds. That is a hard lesson to learn that many do unfortunately.
3. When starting out copy successful traders, this can be done easily on the Etoro trading platform  which has the feature of copytrader. This awesome feature allows you to see ranking on all traders in the network and if you like one copy them for all future trades. Always pick a 90% or higher success rate trader with this one as a good tip.. For more on Etoro.
4. Don’t walk in think forex is an easy get rich quick scheme, while it can be a way to sure wealth in order to achieve that you have to learn how to do it properly.
5. Keep your emotions out of trading, trading should be seen like any real business with a real business plan, don’t just Set it and Forget it – With forex the most successful traders put in a trade with a good deep stop loss with easy achievable take profit margins. What this does it it allows the currency to drop and return past profit while you are not at your computer. While this is not a guaranteed success method it has a 95% or better ratio.  To do it right however takes practice. And you still want to buy when the market is heading that way as well.
6. Always buy a short trade when resistance breaks – This is one you have to learn the hard way. Learn to be quick on the buy button when the conditions are right. What do i mean by a short trade or resistance? A short trade is where you just try to take a few to several pips out of the market. There is nack to doing it but it takes time. Resistance is where all of a sudden a currency breaks free of the battle against another currency and bounces up quickly or bounces down quickly. This one takes practice and timing.. A good short is 5 or more pips and at a mini account of 10 cent pips that is 30 cents or more. I know it is small but this developing a way to stop losing trades..
7. In time after 10 or more small trades making a few good dollars, then think about looking for the 20 cent pip trade but be ready to lose all your winnings. This is okay and a learning process as well. It takes time. If it wins however then it pays off and if it loses cut the trade before you lose and break even..
8. Look for the good trades, they are out there, it takes a bit of time to find but learn to not trade on emotion, instead look at exactly what each pair is doing.
9. Use a Forex Robot – While I have not tried this one myself, many rave about two big robots time and time again which apparently have over 96% success ratio. What a robot does is analyse the market conditions and looks for weaknesses to buy and sell at a profit. Some people claim to make over $10,000 a week from such robots and software. And that is on autopilot.  These two recommended mostly are Fapturbo and Forex Megadroid. Use both of these carefully and always ask what the recommended settings are.
10. One trade at a time – Unless you are copying a professional trader that knows what they are doing such as on Etoro then just do one trade at a time. I know it is small earnings, make daily goals of say 5 dollars a day, then raise it once achieved to ten dollars a day. Many rush in trying to get as much out as possible when there experience is small, this is the same as gambling if you ask me, learn and improve over time..
11. BONUS TIP – Buy low spread currency pairs rather than high spread pairs, aud / eur is under 3 and so is the aud / usd two I like overall
12. BONUS TIP 2 – Buy when the market is right, usually the London gmt time is best for trading ( most pips overall ) which is from 6pm AEST to midnight in Austalia time zone. Look up the GMT time for your area to correlate the time zone.

Number One Way to Lose Money in Forex

The overall number one way people lose money in Forex when they are new to it is because of emotions. People have a hard time realizing that the forex is out of there control and so they blame themselves or others and at times can really make it difficult on themselves when trying to learn to trade this amazing market. Emotions need to stay out of the forex at all times, instead plan your trades well and have an amount planned as well that you are willing to lose on each trade.. This saves the stress..

Number One Way of Making Successful Trades in Forex?

For a newbie other than copying someone that is a trading king, such as on Etoro as i mentioned above is to look at yourself. Take emotions out and do trading for the long haul no matter what happens with each trade. As an example do a 20 dollar trade on a mini account look for a good time to buy or sell depending on preference then work out a take profit around ten or more pips in front of where you want to go, then set a stop loss at a good distance to avoid the currency hitting it if things go bad and allowing it to do a recoil which happens so much in Forex.

What i mean by recoil is a curreny pair goes down, then it can return half an hour to two hours to days later. It’s all mathematics this one, on occasions it does not return then you may lose the lot, however it gives to best chance overall on each individual trade you do. Over 90% to be exact.  Indications to watch out for here are is the currency at a resistance level or can it go higher, is it resisting against the opposite curency meaning chances it will drop. If so wait patiently for the drop or rise depending in the situation, then click the buy or sell order and bam walk away. Let the stop loss and take profit decide. If by doing right and it rises, feel free to adjust the stop loss into the profit zone and take profit one to move up as much as it can. From time to time check and see if it needs adjust in the profit zone.. Then all you have to do is hop for more than 50 pips.. It does happen everyday..

One aspect to keep in mind is the forex is not fully controllable, by understanding this it actually gives you more control…

Last Thoughts on How to Stop Losing Forex Trades

Overall like any market, learn how currency pairs move, don’t rush in, just relax breath and look for an opening, if an opening does not appear then just wait or try later. Not every time is a good time to buy currencies.

With a growing online company called Etoro those many beginner trading risks are being reduced and in a big way.

What is Etoro?

(Etoro – Introduction Video to Using the Forex Trading Platform)

In a nutshell, Etoro is the biggest online Forex provider in the world with the largest amount of users as well. They provide easy online Forex access in nearly all countries and provide easy to use systems in which to learn to trade and which to start to trade as well. Like all traders know when it comes to trading in Forex without know how it is a bit like trading in the dark. What makes Etoro unique is it changes that by providing one of the largest social networks built into the Forex platform as well, that way you can share ideas on what to buy, what to sell and when with real potential traders, and not only that you can also see there performance in real time as well. They call this the Openbook and it is a feature of Etoro that really makes forex a hell of a lot easier.

Etoro – Openbook Trading Platform Makes Trading Easier

The openbook feature within Etoro allows a Etoro member to communicate with online traders that are making big money and i mean big money like say over 10,000 a day from trading and you can openly see what they are trading and can openly see there performance and success rate in trading and it is updated live to give real results. No tricks, just real information that can really help a trader. Especially for a new trader to the market as well.

Build More Confidence with Copy Trader

By using the feature in openbook a member of Etoro which is free by the way can simply copy a trader automatically with the push of the button. Or if you like a traders performance simply select copy and then the next trade they do your trade will be the same. This feature is good as it shows in real time how a good trader does it and you can also copy on a already successful traders performance as well. This feature alone by itself is so unique and is partly what makes Etoro so much easier to use in comparison to so many other online trading platforms out there.

Benefits of The Platform

• Copy a Professional Trader in Forex
• See Everyone’s live Performance – This is like legal insider trading
• Sign up free
• Easy Setup
• Social aspect gives real confidence
• Easy payment system for deposit and withdrawal – PayPal, bank deposit, Neteller, Credit Card are all excepted to name a few.
• Free Trading Account to begin to learn how to Trade in a real environment.

( A bit more on Copy Trader and Etoro )

Step by Step Forex Trading Platform

Etoro really hits this on the head, they provide easy to see and easy to use step by step process to starting up with the Forex market. To anyone that is new Forex can really be a daunting place where money can be made and money can be lost. In fact without the right understanding Forex can even appear to some people like gambling. While this changes in time with knowledge and understanding of pattern analysis to many that begin in Forex a graph is simply a graph. That is what drew me partly to Etoro, I could practice away for free and build confidence then quickly jump to a real account with guidance from the top traders and make some easy quick trades that made me profit. While there is always a chance of loss, by following the system and learning how to read patterns in Forex one can profit more than lose which is what makes a professional trader in a nutshell.

So if you are looking for a way to trade online, but have been putting it off, Etoro is probably one of the best places to trade in a free demo account, build confidence, talk with other real online traders and get a step in on the market without having to feel the pressure of feeling alone and vulnerable.

My Thoughts on Etoro

I give Etoro a good thumbs up overall as a great learning tool to Forex especially for those wanting to learn how it works. I myself, have been using them for a while now, while not all trades are in profit, I seem to have a good 70% t0 80% performance rate and I owe all those results to discussing with top performing online traders and spending a few weeks and months reading on how to do it similar to the way they do as well.

If you are interested in Forex as well, then why not jump on over to the Etoro website now for more details on how to learn. It may even change your life.

( Braveheart analogy of Etoro and its easy forex trading platform – Openbook)

Risks Of Trading Forex

Like any form of investment, trading is no different, there are potential risks and losses as well as profits that can happen. This is something anyone new to the system or Forex needs to be aware of and prepare for when trading in general, however by learning the ways to do it properly like anything and excepting those risks in time it has the potential for great gains and benefits as well.

The Australian Dollar Rising Against the USD

At the beginning of 20o8 what was the value of the Australian dollar? It was around the 80 cent mark, this was a good value for most online marketers as it meant that when earning mostly in US currency they would get a larger return than what was actually made. In a way like getting a 20% or pay rise. Now at the present moment in 2011 the Aud soars around the 1.04 mark meaning that each time we convert our earnings to Aud we actually lose quite a bit on the conversions. This all adds up over the course of a year and at the end of the year at this average it can mean a lower earnings of around a quarter less ( taking in fees and what not ). That is not great news for affiliate marketers.

As an example, recently I did a conversion for 3000 USD to AUD and it brought me back about 2800 dollars back. That’s a good loss when you think of the return expected back in 2008 where I could be getting anywhere around the 3500 mark for that type of exchange, nearly a loss of over 700 when you work out the figures.

Above is a graph showing the rise and fall of the Australian dollar over the last five years, each time it rises for the Australian online affiliate marketer they make less and less profit compared to the previous years of glory. By looking at the graph you will see the drop in 2009 to 60 cents which boosted our earnings up to present day high averages. If you are also an Australian affiliate marketer, such as myself that has been effected by the rise comment your thoughts below on how it effected you..

3. Studio BLUE WordPress Theme

Another excellent blue background theme from Elegant themes, this one focused on the more simple easy to navigate look. The trendy style uses a blue backgound that merges into the sidebar giving it a more unique and 3d type look. This style would suit many types of blogs that want a easy to look at magazine style layout with a different type of sidebar.

4. Delegate Blue Background WordPress Theme

This is done by its in built function, the Visual Editor.

Ways to Double or Even Triple Your Infolinks Earnings!

1. Ensure the Infolinks links are the same color as the other links on the page. This will make them blend better increasing click through ratio. To find the exact color of your links on your page you can use a tool such as gimp to screenshot your page then use the color selector tool to get the exact link color. It should be a six letter code. Another way to find out your link color is to go into your stylesheet.css within your wordpress admin and look for the color of link text. This can be tricky for newbies so be careful in there.
2. Use the single line dotted links instead of the double lines, the double lines do not get as many click troughs as the single line style.
3. Think of top earning bidded keywords when writing a post subject. This is beneficial for all forms of ppc programs. Then focus your niche on them as well within your writing.
4. Limit the number of Infolinks links on page to suit your website. As an example a large content site can use 7 to 10 per page whereas for low content sites I would recommend using 4 or less. This is because Infolinks can look spammy on low content sites thus giving a higher bounce rate which in turn will lower earnings all over your website. An example of a high content page is at least 600 to 700 words per page.
5. Add the other infolinks options such as related tags, the cloud and seo keyword search.

Overall when you look at the tips above you will see as well that they follow the similar formula of how to increase AdSense earnings as well. This is because people think in the same general way and pattern as they do with these ads as they do with Infolinks ads as well.

I know I mentioned the word amazing a lot just before, however there themes and effort really is outstanding in quality as seen from the image below of some of the wordpress themes available to use with WooCommerce.

Why Hubpages Changed the Rules?

Like many great authority sites they are constantly changing, sometimes those changes are good for those that use these sites and sometimes they are not. This time hubpages has enforced new rules from what it looks like to help boost the quality of the site in general. This from what i can see is a hopeful attempt to boost there search engine rankings and overall affiliate income.

While some of the rules make sense, many of the new rules go way overboard to the point of possible losing there most important resource, there writers.

New Hubpages Strict Rules

The new hubpages rules are many, in fact it is hard not to break any of them even for the top hubpages publisher, they include -

1. Linking to Blogs that have Optins – Which is in the millions considering feedburner is an optin form.
2. Linking to weight loss sites – Not sure on why they made this one.
3. Linking to sites that contain a click bank link in any way – This one has me scratching as well, what is wrong with clickbank?
4. Promoting a link in anyway – This includes suggesting a related link in a post relating to the hub, this one was really not good for readers on there website. I mean with out being able to link to related sources then does it not make the hubpages post useless to a reader? As an example of promoting using words like such as the product in a post is an interpretation of promoting with the new rules. Sites that seem to be okay to link to are the authority sites and social networks. From a writers perspective that has a few good blogs this one is not really fair.
5. Bad Images – Yes, that one is right, if you use a blurry image on a hubpages post in any way it will be unpublished or you will be warned.
6. Substandard Content – This one had me stumped as well, even hubs with over a thousand quality words are getting put in this category.
7. Linking to Ecommerce Sites – This one is just confusing as well. What’s wrong with e commerce sites? I can’t seem to find a reference on this one so let me know if I misread it?
8. Links to eBook sales pages and lead capture forms
9. Links to sites that contain links to any of the above (ie, a blog that links to an ebook sales page, etc)
10. Sites that contain pop-ups or pop-unders – A must have for most top bloggers.

Some of the writers that have been effected claim to have over a thousand articles and have been given around two weeks to change to the new rules on all there hubs or risk them being unpublished. Is that possible for many, there is no way?

For me I had 43 hubs unpublished for linking to related sites in some of them and that alone is going to take me more time to fix than being productive. Days of effort, so imagine the owners having over a thousand in jeopardy, for them I think they would feel very betrayed.

What Is The Unfortunate Solution – Many Publishers Leave

The unfortunate aspect of it is so many professional writers are now leaving hubpages behind because of the change, this will eventually effect the overall quality of hubpages and in the end be detrimental to what they are trying to achieve in the first place from the change. Also many publishers are fixing this problem is instead on fixing on hubpages they are moving there articles elsewhere to sites such as Squidoo or Infobarrel.

So, if you are part of Hubpages it is important to be aware of the new rules and adjust your linking out or related content to suit what it wants. If not, there is not much point posting there at all.

Were you effected by the new rules at Hubpages?

Blogging Tips That Work

1.  Make your blog SEO enhanced. Good for readers as well as the search engines, make sure to make your urls pretty with permalinks and also to have a site map.
2. Pick a Niche You Like or even better pick a niche you love. This makes it enjoyable rather than a job.
3. Don’t copy other peoples work or efforts, instead focus on your style of writing and be yourself.
4. Be experimental, if you want to try something on your blog, do it and track your results, if it turns out to be a positive change keep it, if not remove it in time..
5. Be patient. Don’t expect a blog with only 20 to 30 posts to be bring in thousands of daily visitors. Instead build it to at least 100 posts in that niche with good content and then add more related to what your readers like.
6. Use analytics (stats) to find what your readers like on your site and build more around that. That simple trick can turn a blog from little earnings to big profit.
7. Use images in your posts, basically said a unique post is good, but a post with some images rocks..
8. Don’t be afraid to add a few related ads here and there, it is good to make money from your blog.
9. ONLY use related affiliate ads.
10. ONLY use affiliate ads that convert. This can be assessed in time. What I do as mentioned in my book is if after 200 clicks to the affiliate site there is no sales (approximately 1 sale in 200 is good ratio) then promoting another is better until you find what works.. This does not mean 200 visits to a page, 200 clicks out of your site to your desired affiliate program. For more on this read – Should i give up on this Affiliate Program?
11. Use affiliate programs that earn money. One good example is clickbank items. They have some great products that one can promote in basically any niche.. This helps your audience and pays you as well.
12. People love products, really love products and products convert the best overall so don’t be afraid to use some related recommended products from amazon to get some more sales. To be very effective pick a few good products in your niche from amazon and do a post on each. A good post and then interlink them from your posts on your blog from keywords that relate to the product.
13. Adsense is only part of the piece of the pie in Making Money Online. To make some serious blogging cash Multiple streams of internet income is the best option – Read my four page post on this..
14. Never forget the back links. Your site needs them alot. They are fuel for traffic.
15. Remember the golden rule of Niche Blogging – Build the Niche, Rank the Niche and lastly Profit.

The Awful or Hard Truth of Blogging

The awful or hard truth is simply that most people will have a lot of trouble making money online, it really is not easy work. If it was, every blogger would be making money, am I right. However that does not mean you can’t make money from blogging. Hey I do and so do many others out there. What I am saying is to do it you have to make mistakes sometimes and then keep going. To some after making mistakes that is it for them, they give up.. That is where I say, keep going, be patient, learn from that and change to be better at it and like anything you get better.

How I learned was not so much from other bloggers, It was from trial and error until it worked the best system for me. It took time, it was hard, but after quite a few knocks energy prevails. To learn some of the best tips I have to offer, why not subscribe above to read my book Six Figure Blogging. It includes many tips and tricks to blogging that I have learned along the way.

What is the Headway WordPress Theme?

The Headway theme is different in that it has a very unique feature called the visual editor, this feature allows the user to edit all the features of the theme and design in a visual manner rather than have to go into each file and edit code. This saves so much time and effort as well as you can drag and drop elements of the theme that you like or don’t look.

As an example, simply click a element on the page and edit it how you like to the left and click save when happy with the look that shows. If you want the widget bigger, make it bigger in seconds, if you want the widget up top, select free arrange and then select and move to where you want and the theme will adjust. While it takes a few minutes to learn each move within time you will have the design you like that suits you and if you want to change anything later just do so.

( Above is a Video showing the Headway Theme in action.. )

Edit Each Page and Post Section on Headway Differently

This is another element that impressed me as well, Headway allows you to edit each element of your blog differently so that you can have different impressions on each aspect, if you want the widgets different on the post, simply select edit single on editor and then change the effects desired and save.. If you want a totally different element on a particular page, then select that page in visual editor and design that particular page how you like..

This makes it easy for unique sales pages, squeeze pages, optin pages, widget free pages, and more.. The options are left to the imagination.

Why Choose the Headway WordPress Theme?

The answer was really simple for me, this theme allowed the user to make changes easily, create a very unique site that looks good  without having to spend hours upon hours scouring over pages and pages of code. If that relates to you, then that is one of the many reasons to check it out as well. Overall to me and my rating, I find the theme very good value for money and I give it one of my highest recommendations.

For more information on Headway go to the official Headway Theme Page.
