Free Forex Trading Competition with Real Cash Prize

May 15th, 2008 1 Comment   Posted in Forex Trading

After do some research of forex broker who open a free forex trading competition, I found some interesting data.

1. A lot of fx broker that offer such competition, but not free. You need to send your deposit first then you can register for the contest. Although the prize is very lucrative, I think it’s not appropriate for beginner to learn and feel the real forex trading experience.

2. Some companies do have free forex trading contest, but there’s no real prize. it’s for education purpose only. For some people, this can be good vehicle to explore forex world but it lack of motivation.

3. Forex Broker who run free trading competition with real prize usually are new broker. They offer the incentive to market their product. One company that still run the competition is Etoro. It’s already 8 months from etoro first launch date, September 2007 and the competition is still going.

SHOULD I GO WITH DEMO ACCOUNT?

February 27th, 2008 No Comments   Posted in Forex Trading

Forex trading competition is great way for beginner to learn about trading in currency market. Most new trader fail to be come successful trader because of emotional decision. It’s very likely, a noobie will tempted when he/she make a very large money in only one hour. I bet they want to gain more and more. And when this is happen, your previous crystal clear analysis will be biased with your greed.

For that reason, forex broker always suggest their new client to open a demo account. So new trader will not burned all their money for short time period.

Demo Account vs Forex Competition

Learning with demo account is good step for beginner. Get familiar with the platform and do paper trade with virtual money. Unfortunately, using virtual money can’t train your emotion. It’s surely different situation when it comes with real money. Your money!

Yes… to educate your emotion is the most expensive lesson in forex. There are cheaper way that you want to try out. You can even get started with zero cost.

Utilizing forex competition is a clever way to do it. But most of contest require you to open real account with certain minimum deposit. Only few of them giving free entrance and you can keep your winning cash.

Free $150 trading account with no deposit

February 18th, 2008 12 Comments   Posted in Forex Trading

Free opportunity in currency trading. I admit it’s very difficult to find. What I really mean is you can start trading with sum of money as bonus to start. No deposit needed to use the bonus. As far as I can find, there’s many of forex company that offers bonus or rebate after you make first deposit.

Nice free $150 for opening standard account. You don’t need to make deposit first to claim the bonus. And you can start your own forex trading immediately. However, you can’t withdraw the bonus UNLESS you have an active trading activities. You are free to use your bonus for start trading immediately.

Personally, I register because I want to ‘feel’ the real emotion in the battlefield. Sure you can use demo account to practice, but it is not the same when you use real cash. Even the cash is not from you pocket, I can tell you.. your fear and greed will dominate your emotion. This where the REAL trader has overcome. They managed to control it and take profit or loss as daily routines.

How to collect all those bonus

  1. Register for standard account –> instant $25 on your account
  2. Being active in discussion forum. Make good 100 post then ask admin to credit your trading balance –> Addition $25
  3. Make good trade.. accumulate to 10 lot of transactions –> get another $100 free to your account.

Advantage:

  • No need to make deposit to claim your bonus.
  • Funds are transferrable between account.
  • No IP restriction to collect the bonus. That is mean, you can register again and again to get the bonus.
  • Metatrader 4.0 trading platform
  • Supportive manager
  • Tight spread (2 pips) on major currency pairs
  • Allowed to use robot trading
  • Has an active forum

Disadvantage

  • Limited payment processor (currently not support paypal)
  • Not NFA regulated
  • Some people say it scam although it still questionable

For me, getting free account to start trading with ‘real emotion’ is very good point. My main purpose is learn, learn, and learn. Perhaps some day I can have good skill so I can use it for the future. So what do you think? Do you think this noob can survive in forex? I hope I can make progress report here on what I am doing in forex… So let me do the mistake and you learn it from mine :) You can subscribe to my feed to see my progress.. *so embarassed*

Alas… I almost forget to put the link to this broker..

Here it is.. Open standard account on ForexOpen or MicroAccount
