My topic is not to talk about Forex, but the summary here as preface for my topic, simply when you are using Forex using margins, you will buy or sell an instrument, before you enter a trade, you should know what is your target for the trade (profit target) and you should decide what is the price level you should be out from the trade (stop loss).
As example, you Buy 10,000 EUR/USD at market price 1.1300 with profit target at 1.1350 and with stop loss At 1.1250, that means that it price reached 1.1350 then you gain 50 pips = 50 $, if reached 1.1250 that means you lost 50 pips = 50$, if stop…

INTRODUCTION
DUKASCOPY BANK SA is in the process of introducing a new product, namely; Binary Options. Presently this product is available on demo trading only. According to wikipedia, a binary option is a type of option where the payout ratio is either some fixed amount of some asset or nothing at all.

INTRODUCTION In order to know if you are making progress in any activity, you need to be able to measure that progress. An athlete keeps training in order to better his/her performance. For example, Kenyan champion David Rudisha, whose picture appears below, is always training to improve his performance. Recently, at the London Olympics, he broke his own 800 metres record – and also set a new world record. A businessperson uses various tools to measure profitability which is the main indicator of progress in any business activity. Now, trading is not only a business activity; but it is also akin to athletics or sports. Like an athlete, the astute trader continuously aims to improve himself being fully cognisant of the psychological nature of trading. It is imperative therefore that you, as a trader, are able to objectively measure your progress. In this article, I will review common profitability measurement ratios. Thereafter, I will introduce a new and very useful ratio which I have called Captain’s Profitability Ratio. A REVIEW OF COMMON PROFITABILITY RATIOS We will now consider three common ways of expressing the profitability of a trading plan. 1) Reliability of entry s…

Hopefully, by doing the opposite, traders will actually make money – which is what we all want to do. Listed below are some excellent ways of lossing money while trading the forex market. 1) Overtrading The cost of trading is usually seen in terms of spreads and commissions.
