    For how long have you been trading?

    I have been trading in the FX market for more than 10 years and I've been using EAs for about 4 years now.

    Can you briefly describe your strategy?

    My trading strategy depends on technical analysis and martingale trading combined with some fundamental analysis.

    Why have you chosen Armada Markets?

    I tried almost all the very well-known Forex brokers but I always faced some obstacles from the broker and in many cases my trading accounts were blocked and closed. But with Armada Markets I can trade freely with the best market spreads and the best order execution I have ever experienced. I want to thank Armada Markets for the best support and best forex environment a trader can find.

  2. Why are low spreads important in Forex trading?

    Low spreads and commissions, fast execution and excellent customer service are some of the reasons why Armada has been so successful in attracting smart and professional Forex traders across the world. Armada Markets was founded in 2011 and it has mostly focused on traders who demand very high quality of services. In this post we discuss the importance of low spreads and how it affects the profitability. Profit is the only reason why people trade Forex.

    What is spread?

    The spread is the amount of pips between the Bid price and the Ask price. Think of it as the cost of trading. The higher the spread the lower is your profits. The lower the spread the higher is your profits. You should always look for brokers where spreads are low.

    Where to check spreads?

    The easiest way to check the spread is from your Market Watch window inside the Metatrader4 terminal. We've highlighted the EUR/USD in the window where you see that the spread is 0.1 pips (difference between Bid of 1.33849 and Ask of 1.33850).

    Armada%2BMarkets%2BForex%2BBroker%2BECN%

    So, why are low spreads important?

    Spread and commission is the cost of trading. For example if you trade 1 lot of EUR/USD which is equivalent to around 134,000 US dollars and the spread is 1 pips then your spread cost is 10 US dollars.

    To better understand this is to look at currency exchange rates of ordinary banks. The spreads banks charge is usually 1 to 3% on the amount exchanged. So for example if you change Euros to US dollars and then immediately sell these US dollars back to the bank then you have lost from 1 to 3% of your money. Yes we know, banks are greedy! You can review the GBP exchange rate at one of the sample banks.

    Getting back to Forex trading, let's take a look at the spreads of Armada Markets on our Exchange account. As we write this post, the spread on EUR/USD is 0.3 pips (courtesy of Myfxbook). If you traded (open and close order) 1 lot of EUR/USD right now then your spread cost would be 3 US dollars. Spreads fluctuate all the time depending on the market conditions and they can go as high as 2 pips, even 5 or 10 pips if there is maximum uncertainty and some big news come out. Big news are central bank interest rate announcements, major economic news (US jobs report, EU retail sales, etc).

    Check our current LIVE spread here.

    As top traders make hundreds, some even thousands of trades per day then low spreads are absolutely critical to achieve higher profitability. As you can see from the chart above the average spread of EUR/USD of Armada Markets is 0.1 pips. If you make 100 trades with the size of 1 lot each then your spread cost with us would be 100 * 1 USD = 100 US dollars.

    Let's imagine that the same trader has also a trading account with another FX broker named BobFX and their average spread is 2 pips. The spread cost per on lot of EUR/USD would be 20 US dollars. As he made 100 trades then the total spread cost for him would be 100 * 20 USD = 2,000 US dollars.

    So, at Armada your spread cost for 100 trades would be 100 US dollars, while at BobFX it would be 2,000 US dollars or 1,900 US dollars more. This means that also your profit at BobFX would be 1,900 US dollars less compared to Armada.

    Please check the spreads of any broker before opening the LIVE account. As we have shown in this post - low spreads are important to reach higher profitability!

  3. Armada Markets, a global spot Forex and precious metals broker for professional traders notifies its clients to be cautious in their trading decisions as the period of record low volatility is about to end. Higher volatility will increase risks for all traders and Armada Markets advises its clients to reduce risks.

    The notice is triggered by yesterday's release of Bank of England and Federal Reserve minutes of their last policy-setting meetings in which both central banks raised the possibility of a sooner than anticipated rate rise. In recent years most market participants have become overly comfortable with the low interest rate environment and should now revisit their risk management strategies. Changes in interest rate outlook and ultimately the rise of interest rates should bring and end to the low-volatility environment and introduce higher risk to the market.

    All financial markets including FX, stocks and commodities have seen volatility indices hiting record lows in recent weeks as the low interest rate environment has created the illusion that markets can only move in one direction.

    Various volatility indices at historicallows including JP Morgan G7 Volatility Index

    Why traders care about volatility?

    Investors look at various volatility indices due to following main reasons:

    • Higher volatility means more risks
    • Higher volatility introduces also more opportunities for traders as market tends to fluctuate more and by a larger extent
    • Some trading algorithms work only with low volatility while others need high volatility
    • Risk management techniques need to be adjusted based on the changes in market volatility
    • Higher volatility introduces more emotional stress for any trader
    • In a higher volatility environment historical correlations between various currency pairs tend to experience short-term deviations

    Armada Markets alerts regularly its clients on major shifts in market dynamics or outlook. Armada Markets is proud to be the top choice for professional spot FX and gold/silver traders providing them with:
    • Industry-lowest spreads with average EUR/USD spread of 0.3 pips
    • Industry-lowest retail commissions of 20 USD per million
    • Ultra-fast trade execution speed of 300 milliseconds on Metatrader4 platform
    • Trading environment where all types of strategies including news trading, scalping and arbitrage are allowed

  4. Forex is like an international business and we should always treat it like a business. There are many positive sides on Forex trading. The most important positive side that attracts me the most is it can be done through computer at home. So it saves time and also easy to work in home environment. And the other most important side is its liquidity. The liquidity of the market makes it more challenging and fun.

  12. yes, choose a broker that is very comfortable very necessary. since forex has a very high risk so that we can get the most out of trading if we are trading in the right broker

    Yes, choose a good broker is a chance to us to make more profit in forex business. especially whe they have a good platform and customer relationship. Customer service and friendly service give me the satisfaction of clients as Armada Markets. In addition, I was able to enter the contest "the Trader Of The Month" .

  13. Money management is very vital in forex trading, You can keep a personal jpounal where you can keep your records according to your need, good money management will help to concentrate more on trading.

    Right, money management is very important for traders because with the money management will give us the opportunity to better manage the account, for it is now , Currently I am participating in Armada Markets demo contest and link

  14. In Forex trading, a small deposit can control a much larger total contract value. Leverage gives the trader the ability to make nice profits while at the same time keeping the risk capital to a minimum.

    For example, if you trade with 1:100 leverage it means that a 100 EUR in Armada Markets, margin deposit would enable a trader to buy or sell 10,000 EUR worth of currencies. Similarly, with 500 EUR, one could trade with 50,000 EUR and so on. However, leverage can also be a double-edged sword as without proper risk management, this high degree of leverage can lead to large losses as well as gains.

  15. Forex is a high risk and high reward business. We can not only put our money in our trading account and it grow it self, but we need to trade with that. And forex trading not only buy or sell, but need much more than that. We have to understand the forex market, we need a good well known the forex system, we also need a good handling our emotions in forex trading.

    I am now developing the forex business in the Armada Markets. I think it is very appropriate to a scalper for trading in the Armada Markets which gives a very low spreads based http://www.myfxbook....-broker-spreads

  16. I fully agree with your opinion that forex trade is good and profitable business not job.I think a job has fixed salary for employe.But forex trade hasn't fixed profit for trader. Forex trade business has a great opportunity for trader to make unlimited money by good forex trade business.I also think job has fixed time duty but forex trade business hasn't any fixed time to make trade.A forex Trader can trade anytime anywhere ,when he/she wan to trade

    I am now developing the forex business in the Armada Markets. I think it is very appropriate to a scalper for trading in the Armada Markets which gives a very low spreads based http://www.myfxbook.com/forex-broker-spreads

  17. Risk management is one of the most key concepts to surviving as a forex trader. It is an easy concept to grasp for traders, but more difficult to actually apply. Brokers in the industry like to talk about the benefits of using leverage and keep the focus off of the drawbacks. This causes traders to come to the trading platform with the mindset that they should be taking large risk and aim for the big bucks. It seems all too easy for those that have done it with a demo account, but once real money and emotions come in, things change. This is where true risk management is important.
    Controlling losses

    now i am comfortable to trade in Forex Market ( using Armada Markets ) because that is a good job for us if implementing a good Money Management
