Did you know that there are 4 mains types of trader and depending on what type you are will determine many parts of your trading strategy and trading plan. The 4 types are generally referred to as: scalping, day trading, swing trading and position trading. When you determine the type of trader that you are it will also determine the time period in which you will be making your trade. This will be a very important decision that you need to make when deciding how you want to learn to day trade.
1. Scalping Trader, if you scalp the market this means that you are only looking for a few ticks profit per trade and you may only be in the trade for a few seconds or a minute at most. trading. Some people will also call this day trading but it’s really micro day trading, buying the bid and selling the offer, it’s high speed trading and you might end up doing 10-50 trades a day. This can be quite a stressful way of trading.
2. Day Trader, the true day trader opens and closes their trade within the same trading session, usually this mean the same day, but unlike a scalper the trade may be held for a few minutes up to several hours. Usually day traders make about 2-6 trades a day and most of them will be in the 5-30 minutes range. This is a less stressful way of trading than scalping but it still requires much attention and quick decision making.
3. Swing Traders, swing trading usually means that a position is held for between 1 to 5-10 days, although some swing traders may keep a trade on for longer most are within this time period. For many this is the idea way to trade because it allows you to review your trade in the evening, at the very least you have several hours to make your trading decisions.
4. Position Traders, this just means that you are going to hold onto your trade for longer than a few days, maybe even as long as 1 to 2 months.
If you are still working out how to day trade then it may be better to go with the longer time frames as it gives you more time to think.

If you are about to start, or are already in the process of learning how to trade, or day trade, you may have already been searching the internet using Google or Yahoo for day trading training education, tools, software or seminars, and have found that there is a lot on offer.
For example “trading course” brings up 758,000 pages in Google and “trading seminar” another 109,000 pages, the question is what should you be looking for when selecting a trading course or seminar. In this article I’ll point out some of the things to check before spending your hard earned money on your trading education.
1. Becareful of the hidden costs involved in a trading seminar that is away from home, account for the expense of hotels, meals travel and car rental?, it may be much more than you expect.
2. What is the return policy, this can vary widely between trading education companies, for some you only have a 3 day cooling off period while for others you may have up to 12 noon or the end of the 1st day to ask for refund if you decide this was not right for you.
3. For a live seminar are you also given a set of DVD’s of the same or similar content?, so often live seminars fail to cover all the very important details involved in day trading. Having a set of DVD’s enables you to review the content over and over again at home until you get it. Beware that some companies will bill you extra for the DVD’s even though you have already paid for a live trading seminar.
4. Check the internet for positive and negative feedback on the company and trading seminar. Use search terms like “company name review”, “company name refunds” or “company name scam”. Often reviews are posted in trading forums, these can be found by searching for “trading forum”.
5. In advance try and find out exactly who will be presenting the seminar. The last thing that you want is a professional “teacher” presenting a seminar on trading, what you want is a “trader” who makes his living by trading and only does a few seminars a month out of interest and for personal reasons, not because they need the money.
6. If you are buying an online day trading or investing course where the content is 100% viewed online you should get at least a 30 day 100% cash back guarantee, if not stay away.
7. If you are buying a course or trading seminar in which DVD’s and manuals are being shipped to your house, again you should expect a 30 day 100% money back return policy, less shipping and handling, again if not stay away.
8. It’s very likely that you will have questions after taking either the live or online course or watching the DVD’s, make sure that you will be able to ask questions and have them answered, either one on one or in a forum setting.
9. Last, but not least, before buying do a lot of window shopping. The price for trading seminars, either stocks, options, Forex or futures varies widely from for an ebook to over K for a comprehensive set of training. You may be able to find the same education much cheaper at a different company.
Also be aware that day trading education and seminar companies are always running specials and offering discounts, before you buy search the internet carefully for any deals and also call the company directly and ask for a low price guarantee. In other words make sure that you are paying the lowest price that they are offering the product for.

By mid 13h century China introduced paper money making it the first country to do so. It was Sweden that first introduced paper money in Europe as early as in 1661. Sweden had a copper based coin system which turned out to be rather too cumbersome when goods of high value had to be traded. It was not manageable when the transactions were bigger. Paper currency was light in weight and rather easily carried around. Initially the government backed the paper currency as it did not have intrinsic value as did coins, by backing the paper money with gold standard. This remained so till about 1990. But soon enough currencies were de-linked from the gold standard. With this, currency soon adopted the floating rate with the market determining its value.

The currency exchange rates are market determined. There are fluctuations in exchange rates as the currency is free-floating and not fixed as was earlier. The rates are determined by the demand and supply in the currency market. Its rates will constantly vary and keep changing. The fixed exchange rates are when a currency is fixed to a certain rate with respect to another with the provision that the rates can be devalued. For instance, the Western European countries had fixed the exchange rates to the dollar since World War II to 1966. But later they switched over to market based exchange rate.
The exchange rate of a currency with another changes when the value of one of the currencies changes. The value of the currency increases when its demands increase more than the supply. The value of the currency falls with the decline in the demand and is lower than the supply. There could be many reasons why the demand for a particular currency increases. The increase in the demand from transactions could be a cause. There could also be an increase in demand from the speculative market for the currency. The increased employment levels, the increased business activity of a country and the gross domestic product (GDP) could increase the transaction demand. The spending increases with increase in employment fuelling an increased demand for currency.
Currency worth about trillion dollars is traded every day. It is one of the largest markets in the world.

The central banks usually adjust the money supply when there is a change in the demand for the currency due to fluctuations in the business activity. They might also adjust the interest rates. Increased interest rates mean higher value and increased demand for the currency. However, it will be difficult for the central banks to make adjustment to the demands arising from speculation. Currency speculation can destabilize the economy of a country when large currency speculators involve in large scale currency speculation influencing the exchange rates which in turn affects business transactions.
Investment is important for business, finance as well as economics. Investments are made when the resources are not consumed but instead allocated for creating future income or profits. Only assets that seem to offer the potential of profit or a future income are considered worthy of investment. Both individual and organizations make the investments. The assets or instruments chosen are the ones that seem to offer a lower risk and therefore potential of a future income. If the asset or the instrument is not assessed properly for its risk and profit, including the loss of the amount invested, but yet invested, then this is clearly speculation and does not constitute investment.
There are differences with what investments mean in economics and finance. Investment in productive real assets as a factory, machinery or a house is what investment in economics mean. Or it could be investments in intangibles as training and education. But in finance, investment means investment in financial assets like money markets bank deposits, capital markets and even in liquid assets such as real estate, precious metals, equity, shares, foreign currencies, bonds or collectibles. Investments are also made indirectly through such intermediaries as mutual funds, banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment clubs and collective investment schemes. The intermediaries make decisions on where, how much and when to invest on financial assets or real assets so as to earn a profit or an income. The income or profits of such investments are shared with the original investors. Investment to buy assets or shares can also be done by investors. But there is always a risk of capital loss while investment.
