The government agency that regulates Forex trading, as well as other futures and commodities markets, cautions newcomers to watch out for the scammers that try to paint unrealistic pictures of huge profit potential in Forex and other trading markets. Recently they have also put out numerous fraud alerts for consumers specifically about scams involving the foreign currency exchange market. Here are a few of the tips from the CFTC to give you some insight on how to avoid scams.

First off, you always need to be wary of people who promise huge returns at low or no risk. If you see ads that say things like, "Make $2500 in minutes" that is a pretty good sign that they are not a reputable company. A reputable company will always temper the allure of large profits with warnings that you can also lose just as big or bigger. The Forex market is not a cash cow; there are risks just as there is with any investment opportunity. People who are unaware of the risks involved usually quit trading when they begin losing money.

You were equipped at birth with the ability to question and reason. Use it and be suspicious of everything until you verify that a company is reputable. Use the CFTC and investigate the company or broker you are thinking of doing business with by checking their fraud alert pages. Another good thing to do is see if the company is registered with the CFTC or if they belong to the National Futures Association. By using these resources you can easily find out if there have ever been disciplinary actions taken against the company you are investigating. You can also verify addresses and phone numbers. With the ease of access on the Internet, it has become increasingly easy to run fraud scams with false credentials and fake names.

Just think about how easy it is to have an online presence now. A Domain name is less than ten bucks and you can get web hosting for less than $10 a month. That is a pretty cheap investment for the opportunity to reach millions of people and part them and their money. Be sure to take the time to investigate and verify the people you are considering with the agencies I mentioned above before you give them any private information or credit card numbers. Forex trading can be a wonderful experience and business. Just make sure you work with a reputable company and do your homework.

The FX FOREX spot market does not have a physical location or a central exchange this makes it's very convenient for a beginner trading forex currency. Due to the lack of a physical exchange the forex market operates on a 24 hour basis spanning from one time zone to another across the major financial centers.

For any prospective traders, hope this is not in anyway a discouragement. Trading is a hard mind game and not everyone is suitable to be engaged in such a hard game. Most have neither frame of mind nor mental fortitude to survive in this hard game. Mastering TAs or numbers or options business are at best a first tentative step into the right direction with no guarantee to any success. Training a right frame of mind is the most difficult but absolutely necessary part for success and most are simply not ready to go through that hard stage of the learning process because it is a very painful process. Trading is essentially about pain-taking-process in the end although most do not realize it. The process of overcoming fear, greed and mastering tranquility of mind in this hard school of speculation.

European Mid Morning Update 7th April 2008

Mon, 07 Apr 2008 03:57:04 -0400
Dollar starts what may be a quiet week on the firm side

Releases from Europe:

March Forecast Actual
Swiss Unemployment Rate 2.6% 2.6%

February
French Trade Balance EUR -3.7bn -2.765bn

Early European data is fairly neutral with Swiss unemployment in line with forecasts and the French trade deficit slightly better than forecast in February. No one is going to get too excited about that, although the figures do impress given the rest of the numbers have been showing a softening. However, the outlook is still soft for export demand and this is worsened by the high level of the Euro.

Otherwise the morning has been quiet with just one other statement from Oman which has confirmed that there are no plans to move away from the Dollar peg. This follows a similar pledge by the UAE and should go a long way to calming any nerves that further Dollar sales will not be triggered by such an event.

The following economic releases are due today:

February
German Industrial Production (MoM) - 0.4%
German Industrial Production (YoY) +5.3%
U.S. Consumer Credit USD 5.5bn

April
Euro-zone Sentix Investor Confidence +0.2

The U.S. Dollar has been firm in Asian trading which is in stark contrast to the poor employment data on Friday. It does come as a bit of a surprise and pushing key resistance levels at 103.57-86 Yen, 1.5620-40 Euro, 1.0169-17 Swissie and 1.9755-87 are broken the downside probably still has more legs.

Still, market sentiment is nowhere close to the frenzied level of a month ago with the balance of risk between the States and Europe being reevaluated.

The IMF’s Stauss-Kahn was speaking to the Financial Times saying that the need for public intervention is becoming a requirement and dismissed the European’s notion that the credit crisis is a U.S. problem. In addition he also cast doubt on the notion that globalization has allowed a decoupling from the dependence on the United States. He emphasized that this is a global problem and will affect developing countries such as China and India also.

He pushed a global push in tackling the housing and credit problems directly while suggesting that public funds be used to buffer bank’s capital buffers.

The economic release calendar is fairly sparse this week with the market retaining focus on Thursday’s rate decisions from the BOE and ECB followed by the G7 meeting on Friday. This could keep trading subdued although the Dollar may still come under a degree of pressure. However, if seen there does seem limited room for follow-through to new lows.
