It is a fact that these days even the experts seek the help of forex softwares to enhance their performance, and that is so for a simple reason: a forex software, if reliable, will get them into over 90% winning trades, many of which will be placed by the forex software during the night time, when we humans are sleeping.

Forex trading is certainly the one business where you can make the most money, but also, if do not know what you are doing or do not have the right tools, forex trading can also be the best way to lose money. This is when a forex software comes into play, because it will allow you to trade with the edge of having an expert by your side, only this expert will be working for you 24 hours per day, without complaining and taking advantage of every single opportunity for a good trade.

But assessing the reliability of a forex software is not always an easy task, given the array of competitors offering products. To determine whether you are before the best or not, you must consider aspects like the actual profit potential, cost, guarantees and support.

The reason for considering the profit potential in a forex software is quite obvious. On the other hand, if it has a high profit potential, cost should not really be an issue, because you will make far more money than what you will pay, however, if you can have the best forex software for a fair price this is undoubtedly the best way to go.

And last but not least, we find the single most important aspect when choosing the best forex software: guarantees and support. If you land on a place offering a forex software and you do not see a money back guarantee nor do they have contact information or support, you should not even consider it as an option. You should not settle for less than an 8 week money back guarantee, and never purchase from a company that will not offer contact information or support.

The guarantee is very important, because even if you get your hands on the best forex software you still will need time to familiarize with it and use it on a demo account for a few days before you put it to work on real money.

If you follow these guidelines, you are certain to choose the best forex software thus ensuring a safe and profitable trading operation right from the start.

You can find reliable information about forex softwares and system at this site: http://www.specialonlinebusinessreviewauthority.com/best-forex-trade-systems.html I currently use one of the softwares they evaluate and so far their assessments are accurate.

Investment newsletters are now featuring headlines like “How You Can Profit from the Global Food Crisis.” The recommended investments include agribusiness stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that speculate in agricultural commodities. These investments will no doubt do very well in the global food crisis; but before you put your money down, you may want to explore whether you will be helping to alleviate the problem or actually contributing to it. Do you really want to “invest” in starvation? In an April 23 article in the German news source Spiegel Online called “Deadly Greed: The Role of Speculators in the Global Food Crisis,” Balzli and Horning note, “Many investors . . . are simply oblivious to the fact that by investing in the global casino, they could be gambling away the daily food supply of the world’s poorest people.”

Jean Ziegler, UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, has called the exploding food crisis “a silent mass murder.” In an interview in the French daily Liberation on April 14, he said, “We are heading for a very long period of rioting, conflicts [and] waves of uncontrollable regional instability marked by the despair of the most vulnerable populations.” He blamed globalization and multinationals for “monopolizing the riches of the earth,” and said that a mass uprising of starving people against their persecutors is “just as possible as the French Revolution was.”

In some places, in fact, this is already happening. In Haiti, where the cost of rice has nearly doubled since December, the prime minister was fired this month by opposition senators after more than a week of riots over the cost of staple foods. Violent protests over food prices have been set off in Bangladesh, where rice has also doubled; in the Ivory Coast, where food prices have soared by 30 to 60 percent from one week to the next; and in Egypt, Uzbekistan, Yemen, the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia and Italy. In an April 21 Wall Street Journal article titled “Load Up the Pantry,” Brett Arends observed that the food riots now seen in the developing world could soon be affecting Americans as well. Rocketing food prices are not a passing phase but are actually accelerating. He recommends hoarding food - not because he is actually expecting a shortage, but as an investment, because “food prices are already rising here much faster than the returns you are likely to get from keeping your money in a bank or money-market fund.” Arends goes on:

“The main reason for rising prices, of course, is the surge in demand from China and India. Hundreds of millions of people are joining the middle class each year, and that means they want to eat more and better food. A secondary reason has been the growing demand for ethanol as a fuel additive. That’s soaking up some of the corn supply.”

That’s the rationale published in the Journal of Wall Street, the financial community that brought us the housing bubble, the derivatives bubble, and now the commodities bubble, producing the subprime crisis, the credit crisis, and the oil crisis. The main reason for the food crisis, says this author, is that the Chinese and Indian middle classes are eating better. Really? Rice has been the staple food of half the world for centuries, and it is hardly rich man’s fare. Moreover, according to an April 2008 analysis from the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization, food consumption of grains has gone up by only one percent since 2006.

That hardly explains the fact that the price of rice has spiked by 75 percent in just two months. The price of Thai 100 per cent B grade white rice, considered the world’s benchmark, has tripled since early 2007; and it jumped 10 percent in just one week. The fact that corn is being diverted to fuel, while no doubt a contributing factor, is also insufficient to explain these sudden jumps in price. World population growth rates have dropped dramatically since the 1980s, and according to the U.N.’s Food and Agriculture Organization, grain availability has continued to outpace population. Biofuels have drained off some of this grain, but biofuels did not suddenly happen, and neither did the rise of the Asian middle class. If those were the chief factors, the rise in food prices would have been gradual and predictable to match.

Another explanation for the sudden jump in grain prices, not mentioned by this Wall Street Journal writer, is suggested by William Pfaff in the April 16 International Herald Tribune:

“More fundamental is the effect of speculation in food as a commodity - like oil and precious metals. It has become a haven for financial investors fleeing from paper assets tainted by subprime mortgages and other toxic credit products. The influx of buyers drives prices and makes food unaffordable for the world’s poor. ‘Fund money flowing into agriculture has boosted prices,’ Standard Chartered Bank food commodities analyst Abah Ofon told the media. ‘It’s fashionable. This is the year of agricultural commodities.’”

The “hot money” that has fled the collapsed real estate bubble is now moving into the commodities bubble, and that includes food. “Hot money” is an influx of speculative capital in search of high rates of return, quickly moving from one market to another. It moves, however, not because the products are better (the traditional justification for price-setting according to “free market forces”) but because the speculative “spread” is better. Money is invested not in making real goods and services but simply in making more money. Food prices are being driven by speculators, and today that includes ordinary investors like you and me, who can now gamble in agricultural futures through ETFs that have opened up a lucrative market formerly available only to big investment players.

Conventional economic theory says that prices are driven up when “demand” exceeds “supply.” But in this case “demand” does not mean the number of hands reaching out for food. It means the amount of money competing for existing supplies. The global food crisis has resulted from an increase, not in the number of mouths to be fed, but simply in the price. It is the money supply that has gone up, and it is investment money in search of quick profits that is largely driving food prices up. Much of this seems to be happening in the futures market, where fund managers seek to maximize their profits by using futures contracts. Balzli and Horning explain:

“The futures market is a traditional tool for farmers to sell their harvests ahead of time. In a futures contract, quantities, prices and delivery dates are fixed, sometimes even before crops have been planted. Futures contracts allow farmers and grain wholesalers a measure of protection against adverse weather conditions and excessive price fluctuations. . . . But now speculators are taking advantage of this mechanism. They can buy futures contracts for wheat, for example, at a low price, betting that the price will go up. If the price of the grain rises by the agreed delivery date, they profit. Some experts now believe these investors have taken over the market, buying futures at unprecedented levels and driving up short-term prices. Since last August, this mechanism has led to a doubling in the price of rice.”

The authors quote grain wholesaler Greg Warner, who says what is happening now in the grain futures market is unprecedented. “What we normally have is a predictable group of sellers and buyers — mainly farmers and silo operators.” But the landscape has changed since the influx of large index funds into the futures market. “Prices keep climbing up and up.” Warner calculates that financial investors now hold the rights to two complete annual harvests of a type of grain traded in Chicago called “soft red winter wheat.” He calls these developments “stunning” and points to them as “evidence that capitalism is literally consuming itself.”

What about investing in agribusinesses such as Monsanto, which have promoted the “Green Revolution” through the bioengineering of foods and the production of GMO (genetically modified) seeds, synthetic fertilizers, and herbicide and pesticide sprays? Won’t these corporations, at least, help to alleviate the global food crisis? To the contrary, critics say these businesses too are just driving food prices up. Monsanto’s patented GMO seeds have been genetically engineered so that they cannot reproduce but must be purchased every year from the company. Small farmers who have fallen for the hype of greater productivity and subjected their land to these seeds and chemicals have found that not only have their yields been reduced but that the land will no longer bear anything except GMO seeds. Farmers who can no longer afford the seeds are priced out of the market, handing monopoly control over to the agribusiness giants that can then raise prices to whatever the market will bear; and in the case of food, it will bear a lot, right up to the point of slavery. As Henry Kissinger once famously said, “Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls the energy can control whole continents; who controls money can control the world.”

What can you invest in, then, that actually would help relieve the global food crisis? One possibility is local organic farming. “Community-supported agriculture” (CSA) is a model of food production, sales, and distribution aimed at increasing the quality of food and the care given to land, plants and animals, while reducing losses and risks for producers. A variety of CSA systems are now in use worldwide, allowing small-scale commercial farmers and gardeners to have a successful, small-scale closed market while providing their customer-members with a regular delivery or pick-up of healthy local produce. The USDA provides a list of CSA addresses and websites.

That still leaves the problem of speculation in food futures. How can parasitic profits to non-producing middlemen be eliminated while still protecting farmers? The futures market was first created for farmers, who needed to be able to lock in a price today that would cover their costs and return a reasonable profit later. One interesting proposal is to return to the policy of “farm parity pricing” enacted during the 1930s. It ensured that the prices received by farmers covered the prices they paid for input plus a reasonable profit. If the farmers could not get the parity price, the government would buy their output, put it into storage, and sell it later. The government actually made a small profit on these transactions; food prices were kept stable; and the family farm system was preserved as the safeguard of the national food supply. With the push for “globalization” in later decades, farm parity was replaced with farm “subsidies” that favored foods for export over local markets. They also favored large corporate farms engaged in chemical farming over sustainable farming, forcing thousands of family farmers out of business. Farm parity pricing could help, but a complete solution to the problem of global inflation would require an overhaul of the private central banking system that has created one bubble after another for the last century. (See E. Brown, “Market Meltdown: The End of a 300 Year Ponzi Scheme,” webofdebt.com/articles, September 3, 2007.)

If you want to invest in the commodities boom without driving up the global prices of food or fuel, buy gold.

Ellen Brown, J.D., developed her research skills as an attorney practicing civil litigation in Los Angeles. In “Web of Debt,” her latest book, she turns those skills to an analysis of the Federal Reserve and “the money trust.” She shows how this private cartel has usurped the power to create money from the people themselves, and how we the people can get it back. Her websites are http://www.webofdebt.com and http://www.ellenbrown.com Her eleven books include the bestselling “Nature’s Pharmacy,” co-authored with Dr. Lynne Walker, which has sold 285,000 copies.

Many people have been erroneously taught that the Bible says that money is the root of all evil. The actual scripture says that it is the LOVE of money that is the root of many evil things. You can verify this in any translation or version of the Bible in 1 Timothy 6:10. Here is another interesting teaching about money. The conventional belief is that the richest man who ever lived on Earth, King Solomon, said about money in Ecclesiastes 10:19NIV, A feast is made for laughter, and wine makes life merry, but money is the answer for everything.

You no doubt have heard about the Golden Rule. Most people have but don’t know where it came from. It is widely accepted that it means, those who have the gold make the rules. There is evidence everywhere supporting that definition. Actually, the Golden Rule was given to a Bible scripture spoken by Jesus where He basically said that one should do and treat other people as her or she would like to be treaded. There is a huge difference in the end results when these two definitions are regularly, individually, and independently applied.

There is a popular affirmation for achieving success that has been for years attributed to any number of sales gurus. It goes something like this, if you help enough people get what they want in life, in so doing, you will get what you want. Another saying that is anonymously quoted goes like this, Whatever goes around, comes around. You guessed it. These principles are also straight out of the Bible. You you can quickly verify it in any Bible at Ephesians 6:8, the author of which is believed to be the Apostle Paul.

Great news. To put all of the above information into immediate, productive, and fulfilling use is to first of all verify the referenced scriptures. That way you will know for sure that you have the facts straight. The next thing would be to remember minute by minute that procrastination is what holds most people back from accomplishing what they want on a timely basis and in many cases, never. Next, there are three easy but powerful principles outlined in the Author Bio of this article that will provide enormous benefits to those who use them. Please be one of those who starts using and benefiting from them right away and remember to always keep an attitude of gratitude.

CONCLUSION: Decide that you are going to take action right now to do what it takes to turn your dreams into realities. Believe and expect, every second of every day for the rest of your life, that they are already becoming realities. If you need lots more money and free time to enjoy it with your children and family, and if you do not already have your own Online home-based business, get an outstanding one right away. Put your pride on a shelf because you cannot do everything in life by yourself. Ask and you will receive the help that you need. Remember, beginning is half done.

Your lady friends will love you for sharing this with them.

Many believe that our current high oil prices are in part a result of bad environmental law that was lobbied in through environmental activists. Those who believe our current situation is cause from environmentalism say that the environmentalists are so often hypocritical. On one hand they attack EIRs and projects then they complain about the consequences of their linear thinking. It’s just amazing they say.

Indeed, no one can deny that everybody has to breath the air and drink the water, so I doubt there are many who believe pollution is best. Having sat on committees for hours, sat in planning commissions for multiple nights on end, having written NPDES BMPs and permits, and having assisted with ride share programs and AQMD groups to come up with viable and reasonable environmental decisions; I cannot say that environmentalists are as genuine as they purport to be.

It’s just obvious to me that the FRINGE environmentalists have done more to prevent America from reaching her full potential than any other single group, in any other civilization in the History of Mankind! Of course, this is merely my opinion based on years of experience, vast amounts of research and a tremendous intake of real observation.

Does this mean I am right and the environmentalists are wrong? Well, yes, but to their credit occasionally, very rarely they do come up with interesting solutions and worthy points of contention. Thus, we might wish to keep a line open for them, but we also ought to take everything they say, every report they make and every stance they take; with a grain of salt.

It’s a deliciously tempting scenario; you’re sitting in the comfort of your home in front of your computer trading forex online. You cast an expert eye over the running digits and shifting charts on your screen and soon a deftly executed order floods you bank account with cash. You give thanks for the lucrative world of online currency trading.

After all, the figures are seductive - as you read more about forex you’ll discover it’s the biggest market in the world, trillions traded daily, fantastic leverage, just put down $1000 and trade with $100000 and so on. It all sounds like financial nirvana and you’ve just stumbled onto the keys to the kingdom. Soon it will be all yours.

But then the doubts set in. As you research more you start reading things like ‘95% of trader fail’. And maybe you start to wonder why large financial institutions such as banks staffed with teams of very bright and highly educated and experienced people don’t just milk the forex market for a never ending stream of cash. Could it be they know something you don’t?

The fact is trading the forex market is a very difficult undertaking whatever the hype-filled sales pages for books, courses and currency trading systems may tell you. It demands a wealth of knowledge and experience like any other profession.

But more importantly it also requires an almost zen-like ability to control your emotions both in the turmoil of the market and in the aftermath of a trade whether good or bad. Controlling the exuberance of winning or the anger and depression of loss are crucial to your success as a trader.

One option is a to use a proven forex trading system, one that tells you when to enter the market and perhaps even more importantly when to exit. Having a forex trading systems also helps to manage the emotional aspect of currency trading. Without one you’re at the mercy of the market’s mood.

A good currency trading system allows you to trade without doubt or hesitation as all your moves are laid out for you in advance. This has tremendous benefits in reducing stress as all the turmoil and confusion of the market is reduced to a simple set of rules you follow. You no longer have to agonize over interpretation.

Unless you want to spend your whole day poring over charts it’s best to pick a system that is “set and forget”. In other words, you check at a certain time of day for the signals and if they’re favorable, you make your trade and leave it run its course. You can check back the next day to hopefully count your profits. If the signals aren’t there, you don’t trade for that day.

If you decide to enter the exciting world of forex trading, make sure you acquire or develop a solid and proven system. It makes all the difference between acing the market and losing all you money.

And achieve real “Success” on the Internet

It’s not like you have to climb some mountain and squint out over the horizon. They aren’t hard to see. In fact, they’re already at the pump and supermarket, staring you in the face without any apologies whatsoever.

Those damnable higher prices.

Sure, inflation in our day comes as no big surprise. It’s now as American as apple pie. Thirty years ago you could have bought hamburger for well under a buck a pound, put it in your $8,000 BMW 320i and driven home to your $50,000 home. Over the years, the price of living has simply gotten higher. That much we’ve come to expect.

But prices rising at the rate they have over the last twelve months are a genuine cause for alarm. Let’s look at just a few of these jaw-dropping increases.

Bringing Home the (Higher Priced) Bacon

Okay, let’s see…got milk? It’s costing you 26 percent more to get milk this year (as if you didn’t notice). Eggs? They’re up 40 percent. Corn? 28 percent higher. And wheat? Well, the price of this very American staple has risen a mere 157 percent.

And it’s not just food. Everything is up…and that even includes, ah, dirt. A nursery recently sold a 20-gallon bucket of soil for $4 one week, $10 the very next. No exaggeration. “Gas is up, delivery charges are skyhigh and we just had to raise our prices,” was how the pained nursery manager tried explaining it.

He isn’t selling any alibis, either. Gas, as we all well know, is a lot higher. From a year ago (June 07 to June 08), gasoline has risen about a dollar around the nation. That’s a 33 percent jump in 12 months, and it’s what’s fueling all the other rising costs.

Even so, the government’s official rate of inflation is just 4 percent. One can only imagine the kind of creative math Washingtonian bureaucrats must torturously employ to reach fantastic stats like that.

But if you think the inflationary damage is over, the tide is now receding and it’s time to concentrate on the clean-up, you might not want to break out the shovels and wheelbarrows just yet.

“Don’t Go In the Water”

Remember that famous 1975 Jaws slogan? Well, it might apply today, too. That’s because more inflationary tsunamis are undoubtedly on the way.

It’s not just that the dollar has sunk. What’s scary is that it still has a lot more sinking left to do. “More record lows in the Dollar Index can be expected,” wrote analyst James Turk. “The bearish case for the dollar is overwhelming.”

With the dollar being debased seemingly by the minute by record debt and lower interest rates -and with so many dollars out there courtesy of the Fed-anything priced in greenbacks is bound to cost you a whole lot more.

Add to that record demand for food, oil and goods by China, India and a host of other maturing countries and new surges in inflation shouldn’t be all that hard to understand. According to a recent USA Today article, “Pakistan is stockpiling wheat and using its military to guard flour mills. Indonesian consumers have taken to the streets to protest rising soy prices. Malaysia no longer lets people take sugar, flour or cooking oil out of the country.” Not only is the world awakening to a voracious new appetite…it’s also realizing that its going to be mighty hard to satisfy that hunger.

Then there’s that fuel issue again. According to the Energy Information Administration, world energy demand will grow over 50 percent over the next two decades.

Maybe all of that is why at least one analyst put gold-that reliable antidote for sick inflation-at $5,000 an ounce in the not-to-distant future.

Your Golden Buoy on Stormy Seas

No matter how high the waves of a rough sea get, a buoy will always stay on top of it all…in much the same way gold stays on top of out-of-control inflation.

“You could easily see for the next several years that prices rise not to $1,000 an ounce, but prices rise to $5,000 an ounce or beyond as inflation psychology becomes more and more embedded and people become desperate to have a source of value,” said Christopher Wyke, a commodities product manager who helps oversee about $10 billion in commodity assets.

He went on to say that demand for gold would also rise as central banks become net buyers for the first time in 20 years, driven by developing countries.

Wyke isn’t alone in predicting gold at those levels. In a Fox News interview, analyst Peter Schiff said that gold could attain $5,000 an ounce should inflation remain unchecked. Others echo the same thing. So why can’t the Fed just stop inflation in its tracks by raising rates? “Talk about the Fed tightening is a joke,” said William Chepolis, a Scudder fixed income manager. “They can’t do that to the economy. There is still more pain out there.”

Will gold actually hit $5,000 an ounce? Maybe not. Maybe it will hit $3,523. Or $4,377. Or maybe even $6,295. The point is, with another inflation tsunami on the horizon, gold could be your best self-defense. And the way things are looking, it may remain your best self-defense for years to come.

Reading the sites of IKEA stores, I gathered that the staff are dedicated to make your shopping experience a pleasant one. If you are in Europe, America, Asia and Australia, you are certain to find a store near you. These stores have adequate workers and the environment is suitable for them and the customers to be in. While at the stores, you can have the opportunity to take a bite from ikea food restaurants. This encourages people to relax while at the same time buying their products.

The stores engage in accurate logistics in which the appropriate goods are delivered to the stores by distributors while off loading and arranging is done correctly.

They are usually large blue buildings which do not have many windows. However, there are a few which are built with so many glass features.

One store that is known to make use of so much glass is the store in Koblenz Germany. This makes the store look so much attractive and classy. Most of these stores are built on the outskirts of cities mostly because of the cost implications. You cannot return goods to an IKEA store because they have a policy in which goods once sold cannot returned. However, it will be possible for you to bargain for prices making this very suitable to customers. IKEA stores have been known to be more than hospitable. On one incident, a comedian moved into an IKEA store in the suburban New Jersey. Mark Malkoff is still puzzled why the store has not yet kicked him out.

He ended up in the store after he discovered that hotel rooms were too expensive as he was waiting for his New York apartment to be fumigated. He simply moved into the store and made it his home.

They buy and sell several times a day, the exchange volumes very high, and therefore receive daily big discounts of the brokerage.

One day, traders focusing solely on the dynamics and trends. They are more patient and wait for a ride on the strong who can move that day. They are far fewer trades that these traders.
Many day traders sell their positions before the market closes for the trading day to avoid the risk of price differentials (the difference between the day and close to the open overnight price), to open it. One day, traders say it is a golden rule to be respected at all times. Other traders think they should let the profits run, it is acceptable to stay with a position after the market closes.

Day traders often borrow money to trade. Since margins are typically charged interest on balances overnight, the additional costs also discourage them from holding positions overnight.
Risks and benefits

Because of the nature of leverage and speed of returns are possible, day trading can be extremely profitable or highly profitable, and high-risk profile traders can generate huge percentage is huge percentage returns or losses. One day, the operators are able to earn millions each year, only by day trading.

Because of the high profits (or losses), which enables the trading day, these traders are sometimes described as “bandits” or “players” with other investors. Some people, however, make a consistent living day trading.

But day trading can be very risky, especially if it was bad discipline, risk or managing money. The common use of purchases on margin (with borrowed funds) magnifies gains and losses, such as losses or gains may occur in a very short time. In addition, brokers will usually from the higher margins for day traders. When the night margins required to hold a stock position are normally 50% of the value of the stock, many brokers allow pattern day trader accounts to use levels as low as 25% for purchases intraday. That means one day negotiating with the legal minimum $ 25000 in his account can buy a $ 100000 stock during the day, as long as half of those positions were released before the market close. Due to the high risk margin of the use and the other day business practices, a day trader will often leave for a losing position very quickly, in order to avoid a greater, unacceptable loss, or even a catastrophic loss, much larger than its initial investment, even larger than its total assets.

Even when one has made a profit, the trader has to compensate for transaction costs and interest on the margin. It is commonly said that 80-90% of day traders lose money. An analysis of the Taiwanese stock market suggests that “less than 20% of day traders profit net of transaction costs.”

History

Originally, the largest American stocks were traded on the New York Stock Exchange. An operator will contact a stockbroker, which would be about relay to a specialist on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. These specialists to visit each market in only a handful of stocks. The specialist could correspond to the buyer with another broker seller; write tickets natural that, once treated, would have the effect of transferring the stock and relay the information to both brokers. The brokerage commissions were set at 1% of the transaction amount, ie for the purchase of a value of $ 10000 inventory costs to the buyer $ 100 in commissions.

One of the first steps to make day trading shares potentially profitable was the regime change of the commission. In 1975, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. (SEC) has set the commission rate illegal, giving rise to a lot of brokers offering commission rate reduced.
Financial Regulations

Financial institutions to be used much longer periods: Before the early 1990’s in the London Exchange, for example, the stock could be paid for a maximum of 10 working days after it was bought, which allows traders to buy (or sell) shares at the beginning of a settlement period only to sell (or buy) by the end of the period of hope for a higher (or lower) prices. This activity is identical to the negotiation of modern times, but for the longest period of settlement. But today, in order to reduce market risk, the settlement period is generally three days. Reducing the settlement period of default reduces the likelihood, but it was not possible before the advent of the electronic transfer of ownership.

The next important step in the facilitation of the day was the founder in 1971 of the NASDAQ - a virtual exchange on which the orders were transmitted electronically. Switching from paper and wrote share certificates to the registers dematerialized shares, negotiation and computerized registration not only requires amendments to the legislation, but also the development of technology necessary: online, real-time systems, rather than in batches; electronic communications rather than the postal service, telex or physical shipment of computer tapes, and the development of secure cryptographic algorithms.

This marked the advent of “market makers”: the Nasdaq NYSE equivalent of a specialist. A market maker is an inventory of stocks to buy and sell, and at the same time offers to buy and sell the same title. Obviously, it will offer to sell shares at a higher price than the price at which it offers to buy. This difference is known as the “spread”. It is of no importance for the market-maker if the price of a stock goes up or down, because it has sufficient capital stock and always buy cheaper than it sells. Today, there are nearly 500 companies participating as market makers on the RET, each one giving a market generally four to forty different stocks. Without any legal obligation, the market makers are free to offer small deviations ECN’s than on the NASDAQ. A small investor might have to pay $ 0.25 spread (for example, it might have to pay $ 10.50 to buy a share of stock, but could not get $ 10.25 for sale), while the institution would only pay a spread 0.05 $ (10.40 $ buying and selling at $ 10.35).

Day trading is undoubtedly very lucrative for traders willing to put the time and effort to learning how it really works. It is not passive income. This is a career. But a very lucrative if done correctly.
