			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Forex Brokers are notorious for playing games with their clients. Most new traders never know the real reason for their losing trades. When they come to know that it was their broker and not the market that was constantly tripping their stop losses, they never trust their broker again. You should never trust your broker ! Discover <strong><a href="http://tradingninja.com/2010/03/forex-broker/" target="_self">Forex Broker</a></strong> Nightmare. Watch this shocking Forex Mastery 2.0 and M3 <strong><a href="http://tradingninja.com/2010/05/forex-mastery-2-0-and-the-new-m3-forex-navigator-software/" target="_self">Forex Software</a></strong> video predicting the DOW crumble days before it actually happened. Try Forex Mastery 2.0 System RISK FREE for 60 days.&nbsp;Learn this powerful <strong><a href="http://www.ninjatraderblog.com/trading/2009/10/fibonacci-retracement/" target="_self">Fibonacci Retracement</a></strong> method FREE that pulls 500+ pips per trade!&nbsp;</p>
<p>For enticing new clients, vast sums of money are spent on advertising by forex brokers. You can check this fact by going on Google and typing any forex related keyword. Almost all the ads will be by forex brokers. Each click costs them around $1.</p>
<p>Forex brokers are free to offer any price to their clients. Most of the brokers get price quotes from the interbank market with a 1 pip or even lower spread. To this pip spread they add 2 or 3 or even more pips as the price quote to their clients. These 3 or 4 pips are the risk free profits that the brokers make for each round trip trade. You see why fx brokers are giving you free platforms and trading signals, only to make you start trading as soon as possible. Your broker will make more risk free money, the more you trade!</p>
<p>One of the best tricks that forex brokers use is Stop Loss Tripping. If they find many stop losses at a particular level, there will be a momentary blip in the price feed to take out most of the stop losses.&nbsp;You can&#8217;t do anything. It was a momentary spike, so small that it only tripped the stop losses.</p>
<p>Since, there is no central exchange to compare moment by moment prices, your broker can offer any excuse like there was sudden large order in the market or the broker feed is much faster and reflects true interbank rates .</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A managed fx account is a good way for an investor to diversify his portfolio. After the crash of 2008 many investors are searching to balance their portfolios. In 2008 the prices of all assets collapsed concurrently. Investors are looking for new solutions to balance portfolios. Currencies make the perfect choice as they are less volatile than other assets. I have included in the following paragraphs several ways to rate the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.managedforexaccounts.net/" target="_self">managed forex funds</a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>The Criteria On How To Rate A Managed forex account</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Annual Return</strong></p>
<p>You will learn various monthly return rates and miss the entire important figure for the annual return. You need to be satisfied with the annual return rate.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Average Win / Loss</strong></p>
<p>There&#8217;s any old trading rule that your winners needs to be twice as profitable as your losses. The average win should typically be twice as big as the average loss.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Max Peak to Valley</strong></p>
<p>We must see what the maximum draw down is and if we could live with the results. Some experienced traders can experience a draw down of 30% as they recognise that this is the nature of the system. Some people would be horrified to see a draw down of 30%.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Correlation with S&amp;P</strong></p>
<p>If a large proportion of your money is in the stock market it can pay to have a strong negative correlation with the S&amp;P. If the stock market fails, it is then likely that your investment will increase. This helps to balance your portfolio.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Slippage</strong></p>
<p>The results from a lot of systems do not take on account of slippage. This is essential if you&#8217;re trying to trade this system yourself or automatically. You might be unable to get into the market as the original system as a result of timing differences. You can have different brokers than the original system.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Sharpe Ratio</strong></p>
<p>The sharpe ratio is a way of measuring the risk premium. Typically we would want to compare the performance of the fund against a risk-free investment. The higher the sharpe ratio the less risk there is in the investment. We need to be cautious with the inputs for this ratio. For instance a with profits fund will have a high sharpe ratio as the profits are reinvested each year. We should really compare the performance of the fund in the year without any profits reinvested.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>There are numerous of ways in which we can compare the performance of a&nbsp;<a href="http://www.managedforex.com/" target="_self">forex managed account</a>. The primary consideration is just how much do we trust the system. We must see a minimum of couple of years data to satisfy ourselves that the system can function. We should also note that the managed forex account or managed fund or system is properly regulated.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Some forex investment funds require funds be sent directly to their own bank accounts, while other Forex Managed Account providers ables you to invest directly with their broker. The second scenario where you invest directly with the broker gives you far more control over your own funds and is preferable for that reason. The reason is so you can deposit or withdraw your funds and also revoke the right of the money manager to trade your account.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Trading Forex and using high leverage is always classified as high risk investing, however, it is possible to manage this risk with correct money management and disciplined trading. Well placed stop losses and strict money management allow the trader to control risk with forex. Obviously a strict and professional level of discipline is essential if this risk management is to be effective. This is the reason it is wise to invest with a&nbsp;<a href="http://www.managed-forex-accounts.info/" target="_self">managed trading account</a>&nbsp;program run by a team of professionals.</p>
