Traders & Investors Club Meeting - 21st July 2009
Day Trading The Foreign Exchange Market
Daily trading volume on the Forex Market is in excess of thirty times that of the New York Stock Exchange. It is the largest and most liquid trading environment in the world and until recently was accessible only to the banks and other major financial institutions. Times have changed it is now possible for the private investor to participate in the FX market even with a small trading account.
With large daily moves and high volatility, the FX market is ideal for the intraday trader. Because the market is open twenty-four hours a day, FX trading can be incorporated with anybody's daily schedule.
This evening, Kevin Barry of the Traders & Investors Club will be giving us an overview of the FX market and discussing his favourite strategy for trading intraday reversals. Contrary to popular opinion, Kevin does not let his profits run and this evening will be demonstrating why. But he still cuts his losses quickly, very quickly!
