Commodity Trading Advisor

Commodity Trading Advisor, Genuine Trading Solutions, a registered CTA with the CFTC, says the responsibility today of a CTA is a constantly evolving role in today's market place.

Once upon a time a Commodity Trading Advisor was content to be known as a Portfolio Manager trading commodities and futures for a managed futures fund. There is no question today's investor has become more sophisticated. In response, today's selection of investment products has become ever more complex and varied the need for the CTA to understand the uses and management of these products becomes even more acute.

So what exactly is the role of today's Commodity Trading Advisor? Certainly forex trading of derivative products for a managed futures fund continues to be as important as before. A CTA has also become more involved with derivative analytics. This role is essentially focused upon becoming an analyst to structure and analyze the more multi-faceted requirements demanded by hedge funds, pension funds and structured products.

The use of derivative analytics to manage the adverse risk of an equity or bond portfolio brought about by adverse market conditions is critical in preserving asset growth. The uses of hedging to prevent volatility have long been understood by the largest institutions but are now available to the smaller sized company and to the individual investor. No doubt as products continue to evolve so too will the CTA evolve to meet the need of today's professional money manager.
Derivative products are no longer limited to exchange traded commodities futures and options. There continues to be an ever expanding list of over-the-counter derivative products. These are SWAPS. SWAPS and privately transacted products transacted without the use of a recognized exchange. The difficulty is the buyer and seller must find each other to undertake such an arrangement, not always easy. The second problem is no liquidity. There is no one to sell this too should one of the parties wish to terminate the transaction prior to the agreed upon date.

Overcoming Fear in Forex Trading

One of the reasons so many traders fail to make the gains they had in mind when they first started online forex trading is that when they really start to think about the income potential and the risks involved, they become all but paralyzed with fear. Although the feeling between fear and caution is similar, they are too entirely different subject matters. Here in this article, you will get to learn some tips on how to get rid of that unwarranted fear.

1. Tackling fear at its root cause

The first thing to do is to identify the root cause of your fear. Some will say it is because of the fear of losing money, but most cases the reason runs deeper inside us. In fact one of the primary fears a forex trader has is to get laugh at by their peers making them feel foolish. The second reason is a self fulfilling prophecy that if they see "proof" that they are no good in forex trading.

2. Keep learning

One critical thing you can do to build your confidence is to keep learning about the markets and the forex trading strategy you've chosen. It's perfectly natural to be afraid of taking on a risky venture when you feel like you don't know what you're doing. Books and courses are fine for this, but if you have the chance, finding a mentor is even better.

3 .Understanding where you when wrong

As the old saying goes, "They're not mistakes, they're learning experiences." Trite, but true, especially in a skilled trade like this. When you go back and take an honest look at your past mistakes, you'll most likely be able to see where you went wrong and what you should do next time. By doing this, you'll feel armed with new information instead of held back by fear of repeating a mistake.

A Good Forex Broker Essential

A broker serves a few primary functions in the trading cycle.

The brokerage takes orders from sellers and buyers and matches them. The broker also provides the most recent prices and most brokers provide a charting service as well. These services are not provided for free, the broker takes a commission from you each time you trade. This charge is called the pip spread. What that works is that when you enter a trade, you are automatically in the red. This spread varies from broker to broker but on the whole as a market, pip spreads for trading the majors are very low as compared to forex trading exotic currencies.

A good broker can then be define as a broker who provides the basic services and keep the spreads low and fixed. The issue about floating spreads is that there are times when the spreads can go to atrocious levels and that means if you place your stop loss too low, there is a high possibility that you get kicked out of a trade through no fault of yours or because of any market movements. The good thing about having fixed spreads is that you can work the spreads into your trading plan. That gives you control of how you want to direct the trade.

Reliability and stability are absolutely essential for forex traders to have especially when we are faced with an ever changing market. With market situations as such, the last thing you need is for your broker to pull a fast one on you. For example when you are in the midst of a trade and suddenly the trade window hangs. It might be a technical issue you think, so you log back on immediately. To your surprise you realize that your trade has been canceled and that the money you placed into the trade was lost! This is something that you don’t need, so you try to contact the broker, but you emails never get answered and your calls fall on deaf ears.

Candid Advice on Forex Trading

If you believe all those ads and promotions going around the Internet these days, making money in Forex trading is so easy a child could do it. While common sense will tell you that are not true, for anyone looking to earn some decent money trading, it's all too easy to fall for the promises made by those pushing forex course and trading systems. It's tempting to think with the right course or system-the "secrets," basically-that you really will be able to cash in all those promises. After all, some people do get plenty rich trading Forex.

However the reality is very much different. Most of those new to the Forex market in fact lose money. There are some even who lose their money over a long period of time. Even so, on the flip side of the coin, there ways to go about to avoid becoming part of the overall section group of people making loss in forex trading. Here we will point out a few things for you to take note off before you begin trading in Forex.

You will always need to trade base on incomplete information


It doesn't matter what charts you use or how much you study the fundamentals, all you're really getting is second hand information. You'll never have precise information unless you're right in the middle of the market. While it's important to do some analysis, if not having 100% accurate information bothers you, stay away from Forex.

Small window of opportunity for deliberation

The Forex market is always dynamic and fluid. Because of its dynamism, it is almost impossible to predict the way how the market will move. In addition, the time that is available for you to response to market changes in extremely short, maybe just one minute. Within this period of time that is available, you have to decide whether you wish to risk maybe an amount that is one hundred times bigger than what you have. As such accuracy in making the right decision is extremely important. For this you will need to rely on a proven and reliable system to help you speed up yr time in deciding to execute and order or not.

Forex Trading Fact

Many traders believe the rubbish, they are told by so called Forex experts, that show made up track records which indicate you will never suffer a string of losses - but this is fantasy not reality. You will Lose - but the good news is you can still make big profits here's why... One of the reasons Forex traders lose is they are unprepared to handle a losing period but they need to learn that to win you have to lose and a simple example will illustrate the point:

I know a trader who manages over $100 million and he losses 70% of the time and has losing periods of two months or more yet his annual compound return is 76% over 5 years. He knows (and you need to know to) that losing is part of the game and losing periods can last for weeks or in his case months. What you need to do is stay on course, when these losing periods come and keep your losses small, by online forex trading with discipline and this is NOT easy! We all have egos and it hurts, when you trade and the market makes you look a fool - but you must keep going, until you hit a home run.The fact is if you don't learn to take your losses cheerfully, you will never win.
Today, traders believe all the so called Forex experts, with their junk robots and they can make a fortune for spending 100 bucks and suffer no losses - dream on, this is not reality. Forex trading is a big boy's game and the professional Forex trader takes his losses. He knows if his system is soundly based he will hit a home run and clean up longer term - he has discipline and you must have it too.
