Letters of Credit
Letters of Credit
A Letter of Credit [L/C] is a great business tool for importers to protect their own, as well as their supplier's interests. An L/C is essentially a bank guarantee for payment of supplied (imported) goods. It is often at the request of the overseas supplier that payment for goods are made in advance to protect them from default on payments.While OzForex doesn't issue L/Cs, we can help you save money on the foreign exchange transfer involved.A simplified L/C process would take place as follows:-Buyer and seller agree terms of trade (price, specification, shipping etc.).-Buyer applies for L/C from issuing bank.-Issuing bank sends L/C to supplier's bank.-Supplier sends goods to importer.-Assuming agreed terms are met, issuing bank pays supplier.Now here's where OzForex comes in...Ordinarily, the issuing bank would debit the importer's account in their local currency, and convert it at the bank's chosen rate to pay the supplier in the foreign currency. By advising their bank not to proceed with the debit of their bank account, an importer can have OzForex make the conversion. Payment would then be made to the issuing bank in the foreign currency. OzForex does not charge extra for this service, and savings can be substantial. Payments for L/Cs still attract the same competitive OzForex rates.EVOLUTION OF A TRADER
EVOLUTION OF A TRADER
EVOLUTION OF A TRADER Every Trader goes through the following stages of evolution:1) Basic market reading - is the market going up or down? Note, that at this stage, very few people think of the third possibility.....that the market could be going sideways2) Setting targets for the envisaged move - During this stage the person is happy if the market moves in the envisaged direction and even if the market comes just close to the target but misses it3) Getting to know all the scores and scores of Technical Indicators and tools, thinking that knowing the tools is the secret of successful trading.During this period, the person is focussed on "being right", the mentality is "me against the market", or even, "my forecast is better than yours". The person trades during this period, experiencing both profits and losses, but consistent profits elude her. She is happy every time there is a profit, no matter if it be small and tends to forget about the lossesSlowly, the Trader moves onto the next plane of evolution, wherein:1) She starts to think about various possible scenarios....and starts to think in terms of "If-Then-Else"2) She starts to think in terms of Probability....what are the chances of the IF or the THEN or the ELSE happening3) Starts to think in terms of Risk-RewardHaving mastered this higher plane, the Trader can then move on to the next plane1) Thinking in terms of strategy2) Managing multiple positionsAll of this takes time, TWO years at the minimum. During this period, one should trade as small as one can, alternating one month of Real trades with one month of Paper trades and so on.Learning to trade FX is not the same as learning to ride a bicycle or learning how to swim.

How FOREX Works
Transactions in foreign currencies are not centralized on an exchange, unlike say the NYSE, and thus take place all over the world via telecommunications. Trade is open 24 hours a day from Sunday afternoon until Friday afternoon (00:00 GMT on Monday to 10:00 pm GMT on Friday). In almost every time zone around the world, there are dealers who will quote all major currencies. After deciding what currency the investor would like to purchase, he or she does so via one of these dealers (some of which can be found online). It is quite common practice for investors to speculate on currency prices by getting a credit line (which are available to those with capital as small as $500), and vastly increase their potential gains and losses. This is called marginal trading.
Forex
For those unfamiliar with the term, FOREX (FOReign EXchange market), refers to an international exchange market where currencies are bought and sold. The Foreign Exchange Market that we see today began in the 1970's, when free exchange rates and floating currencies were introduced. In such an environment only participants in the market determine the price of one currency against another, based upon supply and demand for that currency.FOREX is a somewhat unique market for a number of reasons. Firstly, it is one of the few markets in which it can be said with very few qualifications that it is free of external controls and that it cannot be manipulated. It is also the largest liquid financial market, with trade reaching between 1 and 1.5 trillion US dollars a day. With this much money moving this fast, it is clear why a single investor would find it near impossible to significantly affect the price of a major currency. Furthermore, the liquidity of the market means that unlike some rarely traded stock, traders are able to open and close positions within a few seconds as there are always willing buyers and sellers.Another somewhat unique characteristic of the FOREX money market is the variance of its participants. Investors find a number of reasons for entering the market, some as longer term hedge investors, while others utilize massive credit lines to seek large short term gains. Interestingly, unlike blue-chip stocks, which are usually most attractive only to the long term investor, the combination of rather constant but small daily fluctuations in currency prices, create an environment which attracts investors with a broad range of strategies.

Recession-Proof
Online Currency Trading is Recession-Proof
A recession hits nearly everyone and everything in the country going through it. It does not matter how large or small the recession is, the effects are widespread and often economically devastating. Your investments, no matter how small or large, lose their value. Your money loses its worth. The stock market shows this quite clearly, since it is based on companies in relation to the currency. No matter how good they do, if the currency is in trouble, the stock market will reflect that. As a result, it hits you right where it hurts: you pocketbook. Even outside a recession, common inflation can create a drop, sometimes dramatic, in the value of investments.Only one way to make money rises above all of this, not even feeling the aftershocks of the devastation wrought by a recession, and immune to the inflation of any single currency. Online currency trading, also known as forex, or foreign exchange, deals with different currencies in relation to each other. You rise above the companies entirely! Since you are dealing with currencies themselves, not different companies in a single currency, you are no longer trapped by the economy of a single country.
When a currency drops in value, you can take advantage of it instead of it taking advantage of you. Make money from the recession, don't lose money! Inflation hits your home currency? It will not affect you, since your money is in several other foreign currencies. Again, instead of losing money, your cash is currently making more money for you! World-wide, all currencies are constantly fluctuating in value, creating an constantly dynamic market from which millions of dollars are being moved around every day. With a little work and a good strategy, you can make your fair share of money from this immense market.
Just jumping in and moving money around, however, is not a sound investment strategy. There are hundreds of Forex trading systems out there, but again, not all of them will earn you money. If you want to turn a profit using online currency trading, you have to be careful who you choose to assist you, and what strategy you use to invest your money.

FOREX LOAN
NEED A LOAN TO TRADE FOREX?
Well, don’t do it! Clear and simple, do not take out a loan to trade Forex. It’s stupid. It’s risky, and it could leave you owing hundreds of thousands of dollars, even if you only take out a few thousand. Any sort of investing should be done with funds you can only afford to lose, bottom line. Trading Forex is a risk, why would you compound that risk for loss with having to pay a loan for Forex every month? Makes no Sense, quick way to lose more money than before.
Where to get Funding For Forex Then?
Honestly, I’m not sure. How does anyone get financing for ideas? Talk to relatives, wait for someone to die. The possibilities are limiteless or limited based on your personal situation. All I know is, I’d be a mother **(#$@#(&$# if I told you it were a good idea to take out a loan to trade in the Forex market. However, if you do have outstanding bills or payments on credits cards that you are looking to consolodate your debt, you really need to try out Prosper. Prosper is the most painless way to take out a loan I’ve ever seen. The only problem I encountered was the fact that I don’t have an official job, I work for myself and lack paystubs and a “pretty” tax return to show their credit department. THE ONLY CATCH. But hey, can you really expect them to let you take out a loan without a little reassurance you can pay it back? Other than that Prosper really is the coolest site you’ll ever see with respect to borrowing money. I’m sure most of you aren’t there yet, but you can also lend money with sweet returns.
Ok, so the most important thing to remember is not to take out a Loan for Forex, whatever you do! Taking out a loan for trading Forex is the dumbest thing a human being can do with respcet to the Forex market. With proper money management you can turn $10,000 into $100,000 very quickly. One of my former Forex mentors had 600% return in under 2 months, if he can do that, I’m sure with some help you can make at least 10-20% with your Forex account a month. Period. I hope this little entry about Forex LOANS helped you out.
