What: Getting to know FOREX with "Currency Trading" author, Carley Garner
Perhaps the most intimidating aspect of trading currencies in the FOREX market is the complex mathematics required to calculate profit, loss, and risk. With the convenience of modern trading platforms, the grunt work is done for traders automatically but that doesn't mean traders shouldn't have a full understanding of how the numbers they see on their statements, and in their trading platforms, are derived.
Join us to discuss in detail the following topics:
- Mechanics of pairs trading
- Calculating pips and profit
- Calculating and understanding margin and leverage
- What does a quote of $1.3225 in the Euro REALLY mean
- The "new" pip...dealing in fractions of a pip within a trading platform
- And more!

What Can DeCarley Trading do for you? |
|
What can we do for you? If you answered "YES" to any of these questions, we might be the right commodity broker for you.
1. Do you have a full time job, but want to trade futures and options? Let DeCarley help you monitor the markets and your trades. We are available nearly 15 hours per day throughout the trading week. All the while we are available to give quotes and market commentary over the phone and even send emails and text price alerts*.
2. Are you trading savvy, but not familiar with the mechanics of the commodity options and futures markets? Let us help you navigate the markets by steering you clear of illiquid contracts and offering "tricks of the trade" when it comes to the best price execution. We have direct access to the open outcry pits to execute options and option spreads, most discount online firms can't offer that. In volatile conditions, this could make a significant difference in fill quality! In addition, our relationship with floor brokers enables us to provide our brokerage clients with opinions and commentary derived directly from those standing in the trading pits.
3. Are you trading on your own at a deep discount futures broker and consistently losing money? We cannot guarantee that you will make money trading with DeCarley, whether full-service or discount online, but we can guarantee that we will work hard to give you the information that you need to increase your odds of success. If you let us, we strongly believe that we can help you to achieve your goals by encouraging patience in market entry as well as utilizing trading strategies with higher probabilities of success. If you are already struggling to make money, what do you have to lose?
4. Do the flashing lights of a commodity trading platform encourage you to over-trade your account and in turn promote trading losses and massive transaction fees? Some of our clients are experienced traders with years of market analysis and strategy under their belt. However, they find that placing trades through a broker, as opposed to clicking and trading online, is a useful mechanism to control the human tendency to stray from a trading plan or strategy or even become too aggressive (over-trading). If paying a few dollars more per round turn can avoid paying thousands of dollars in excessive discount trading commissions and market losses, it is money well spent!
5. Did you spend thousands of dollars on a futures trading course or mentoring, but still can't make money? We have found that many people are dedicated to spending as little in commission as possible, yet are willing to pay thousands of dollars for someone to "teach" them the secrets of trading. Even worse, many of those we speak to have little trading success to show for the money they invested in their trading education. Let's face it, if somebody had a clear edge in trading they wouldn't be selling their secrets....there is much more money to be made in the markets than there is in selling education. In our opinion, we can offer you just as much market knowledge without the upfront burden of paying for a pricey newsletter, book, or course. Wouldn't you rather have that money to trade with? It would take a lot of round turn commissions to equal the price tag of some of the popular trading courses...think of the incremental commission costs as an investment in your education!

 Why
Trade Commodities in an Individual Retirement Account
While we would never advocate a large percentage allocation of
your retirement funds to commodity trading via self-directed,
full-service or even managed futures accounts; there are definite
benefits to trading funds earmarked for commodities in a retirement
account.
The most prominent example being tax deferred or tax free growth
depending on the type of qualified Independent Retirement Account
(IRA). In theory, trading accounts within the shelter
of a tax friendly IRA have the potential to grow at much more rapid
speeds relative to those in a non-qualified account (outside of the
IRA umbrella).
However, it is important to note that the advantages of an IRA
enjoyed by profitable traders becomes a burden for those that are
less fortunate in the markets. Unlike losses in a non-
qualified account, IRA losses are not tax deductible.
Additionally, there may...

The decision to trade online or through a full service broker will undoubtedly make a large impact on your bottom line. However, the impact may or may not be what you had in mind. If you aren’t ready to begin placing your orders online on your own, despite saving money on commission it may be the most costly mistake that you ever make. 
Deciding on a brokerage firm is a significant decision and shouldn’t be taken lightly. Before committing to a firm it is imperative that you research their services, experience, trading platforms and commission structure but more importantly whether your trading style and personality will be compatible. For example, a beginning trader shouldn’t look to a deep discount online brokerage firm simply because they likely won’t get the guidance that they will need as a novice. Similarly, a seasoned trader wouldn’t want to choose a firm that focuses on high-end service with a hefty price tag.
