Risk Warning

Forex Trading on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all traders. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade forex you should carefully consider your trading objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. It is possible that you could lose some or all of your initial capital and therefore you should not trade money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with forex trading, and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts. Having said that, anyone with a sound mind can trade Forex but he must be aware of the risks involved as highlighted above.

Daylight Saving Time, again

It's Daylight Saving Time again for this year and it will start this Sunday, 8 March for the US. Though the NFP report is always released at 8.30am EST, the last NFP on 6 March was released at 9.30pm MYT and the next NFP report on 3 April will be released at 8.30pm MYT because of the Daylight Saving Time. (MYT is local Malaysian Time.)



The IBFX trading always closes at 4.00pm EST Fridays and opens at 6.00pm EST Sunday. So with Daylight Saving Time, it will be 4.00am MYT Saturdays and 6.00am MYT Mondays while it was 5.00am MYT Saturdays and 7.00am MYT Mondays previously. Confusing? You bet.


So to get all the release times of the various economic reports in the correct local time, make sure you synchronise the time in the calendar of your favourite Forex web-site to match your local computer time. In this way you will get the local time right and ensure that you are not caught unexpectedly by sudden market changes immediately after the release of such economic reports.

This will be a short post since I am currently attending the 4-day Forex Investology Advance Class where Sam Se will release his latest Forex trading software, Pips Conqueror that will simplify and improve the chances of making money in the Forex market. This looks very promising but the real test will be whether it will bring in the dollars. Isn't this what we are in the market for? So watch out for my review once it is put to the test.
