The Risks of Currency Trading - How to Manage it for Big Gains

1. Trade infrequently

Sure you can trade for profits everyday but not all trades are equal and you will not have high odds trades' everyday, so trade sparingly. I know traders who trade less than once a month yet; their profit per annum from their forex trading strategy is over 100%!

2. Trade Longer term

Trading is all about trading the odds and you don't get the high odds trades if - you day trade or scalp, so avoid these methods of trading.
You need to trade longer term and that means forex swing trading, or long term trend following.

3. Trade Breakouts

Most major trends start from new highs or new chart lows and although it looks like you maybe missing the best entry point for your trading signal - your not, because the odds are so heavily in your favour.

4. Trade Valid Support and Resistance

If you trade breakouts, then trade valid support and resistance and this means - areas that have been tested at least three times, in two different time frames and the more widely spaced apart the better.
Look for support and resistance that traders view as Important and breaks are highly psychological.

5. Do NOT Look for perfection

Sure we all want to buy market bottoms and sell market highs - but that's not the real world of trading. Be prepared to miss the bottom and the top and take the chunk in the middle.
If you caught 70% of every big trend you would be very, very rich.

6. Confirm!


Forget predicting! Confirm each and every move, with momentum indicators to make sure the odds are on your side.
If you don't know about momentum indicators make them part of your forex education.
Never predict this is another word for hoping and guessing and will ensure you lose.

7. Don't Restrict risk to Much

Many traders like to trail stops or place them to close.
While it may appear that the risk is less it's not because you have a high odds of being stopped out by random volatility.
Let the market breathe and understand volatility and standard deviation of price.
If you are trading for big gains the above tips will help you manage and control risk and keep in mind, you have to take risks to make big gains - but there is a huge difference between trading in a rash way with no thought and a calculated risk which puts the odds on your side.

China's Baidu cuts revenue forecast on ad scandal

Baidu.com Inc., China's leading search engine, is cutting its projected revenue by up to 15 percent after it dropped some advertisers because of a scandal over unlicensed companies selling medical products.

Fourth-quarter sales are expected to be 890 million yuan to 900 million yuan ($131 million-$133 million), down from the previously forecast 1.025 billion yuan to 1.055 billion yuan ($151 million to $155 million), the company said in a filing Friday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Baidu blamed China's economic slowdown and the removal of listings for medical advertisers that failed to provide licenses and some other "questionable" advertisers. It gave no indication it expects a long-term impact.

Baidu was jolted in November after Chinese state television reported that it allowed unlicensed medical suppliers to use its paid-search service, which lets customers pay for higher rankings on its results page. The company's U.S.-traded shares fell 30 percent in the first trading session after the report.

Baidu said at the time it was not legally required to confirm that advertisers were licensed. But industry analysts said it had to take action to reassure customers amid a string of scandals in China over deaths and injuries caused by tainted or counterfeit milk, medicines and other products.

Baidu has some 60 percent of China's search market, well ahead of No. 2 Google Inc., and said profit in the last quarter rose 91 percent from a year earlier.
