We’re all afraid of something, and medically, there are few people who wouldn’t be horrified to discover they have genital warts. Most sufferers are horrible embarrassed by the condition, and find everything about it scary. It doesn’t help that it’s a sexually transmitted disease, and sufferers always have to be conscious of the fact that they might pass it on. Like most medical conditions, however, the more you understand about what’s happening and what you can do about it, the less fear you will feel.

Considering genital warts are rarely spoken about, it’s surprising to find how widespread a problem it actually is. It’s estimated that somewhere between ten and twenty million Americans have genital warts, with about one million more contracting the disease every year. Participating in unprotected sexual activity is the most likely way of catching genital warts, but there are also some groups who are more at risk. These include pregnant women, and people who suffer from some sort of immune system deficiency. Both these groups are more likely to catch the disease than the average person.

If you have any suspicion that you might have genital warts, then it’s important to get it checked out by your doctor. It’s quite possible for abnormal skin growths to occur in the genital region, which are in fact harmless that will disappear again without any treatment. Genital warts, however, are caused by the Human Papilloma Virus. It’s the same virus that causes warts to grow on other parts of the body as well, with the hands and feet being common locations. It’s a special variety of HPV that causes genital warts, which means that having warts on other parts of your body doesn’t mean you’ll also get genital warts.

Despite the fact that they are contagious, and spread through sexual contact, the warts don’t actually cause a great deal of harm to the body. Probably the main medical issue associated with genital warts is an increased risk of cervical cancer in women. It’s interesting to note that of women diagnoses with cervical cancer, around 90 percent have been diagnoses with genital warts. Remember, though, that having genital warts doesn’t automatically mean that you will get cervical cancer. However it’s wise to increase your rate of pap smears to one a year, instead of every two years, just as a matter of caution.

In the end, however, the best thing you can do for yourself is to avoid having unprotected sex. That way, your chances of contracting genital warts in the first place are almost non-existent. If you suspect that you do have genital warts, visit your doctor for a proper diagnosis. Genital warts aren’t life threatening, but they’re an embarrassing and annoying problem that is best avoided. So take care of yourself.

If you have been looking for a way to learn to trade the Forex, you have no doubt seen courses and educational materials suggesting you can turn a small investment of a few hundred dollars into $XX,000 in just so many months or within 1 or 2 years.

While theoretically the figures add up, especially when the power of compounding kicks in, can a newcomer to the Forex market really learn to trade the Forex in a short period of time and expect that kind of huge return on investment?

Honest answer: It is extremely unlikely!

This is not to say it is not possible at some future time, but realistically there is a huge learning curve for anyone starting to learn to trade the Forex.

If you are interested in taking this path you can generally reckon on spending at least 1 to 3 years before you acquire the necessary skills and experience needed to see consistent profits.

How fast you learn to trade the Forex, whether it is nearer 1 year or 3 years will depend on your aptitude to a certain extent and the time you have available to study and practice.

The Knowledge And Skills You Will Need

Here is what you will need to learn:

1. Basic terminology and fundamental concepts of what the Foreign Exchange market is and how it operates.

2. Signup with an online broker, download their trading platform, and get familiar with the charting package.

3. Learn how the main indicators work on the charting package including:

• Moving Averages
• Fibonacci
• MACD
• Average True Range
• Stochastics
• Bollinger Bands

4. Study pivot points and become familiar with the concept of support and resistance.

5. Study basic strategies on how to use the above technical indicators using an online study course or mentoring program.

6. Learn how to make trades from your trading platform in a demo account.

7. Start trading in the demo account for some months keeping a careful diary of trades and monitoring progress.

8. Practice, practice, practice, studying charts for hours on end until patterns start becoming familiar and the mind quickly absorbs the significance of what the eyes are feeding it.

9. Develop the trader’s mindset.

This is probably the most difficult aspect you will encounter when you learn to trade the Forex.

Months, even years may be needed to develop the emotional and mental discipline to handle trades successfully. The two greatest enemies an individual will face when they start to learn to trade the Forex are:

• Fear
• Greed

Fear will cause them to exit trades prematurely when more profits were going to be put on the table.

Greed will cause a trader to stay in a trade longer than they should only to see the market take back what it offered. On the other hand, greed can cause a trader to refuse to admit when a trade is going bad and hold on as the deficit gets greater and greater.

Developing the emotional and mental discipline of a successful trader can only come through many months of hard work, practice and experience.

The Forex Is A Business

If all this sounds like hard work you are absolutely right. Forex is a business and should be treated as such. Every business that produces substantial results usually requires a major investment of time and energy.

One advantage when you come to learn to trade the Forex is that you can start with minimal monetary investment. Mini accounts can be opened for as little as $250-$300. Even if you blow your account a few times in the course of gaining your education that is still a small outlay when you consider what you are hoping to gain.

So if you are making a decision as to whether or not to learn to trade the Forex, be realistic, avoid being taken in by exaggerated claims, and weigh up all the factors.

If you are prepared to put in what it takes to learn to trade the Forex, you may get to be in a minority group of traders who get paid very generously!

You can of course buy one of the heavily advertised automated forex trading systems online – but this one is simple to understand, free and made savvy traders millions and all you need to know about it is enclosed…

Let’s start with the ones you can buy and most have nothing to offer apart from fancy packaging and hyped copy, to appeal to greed.

They lack the basic requirement you need and that’s having made a profit. Check the track records and there normally just paper simulations done backwards!

Well that’s not real dollars and if you want a robot you want one that’s Made real dollars and the free one we are going to look at has.

Real Profits for Over 20 Years

The system has been used since the late seventies by serious traders and was devised by Richard Donchian who is considered the grandfather of trend following.

He left some great free info for traders to use and his 4 Week Rule automated trading system, is simple – but don’t believe it doesn’t make profits it has and still does. Let’s take a look at it.

The Rule

This is a one rule trading system which holds a position in the market at all times and this is the rule to execute your trading signals to.

Buy a new 4 week calendar high and reverse this position to a short position on a new 4 week calendar low – that’s the rule and it’s very simple!

Now you may be saying that’s too simple to work but all the best forex trading systems are simple but it works on logic which is valid and here it is.

Trade Breakouts

Almost all the big trends start or continue from new market highs or lows and by getting in on them, you are getting in on the big trends.

Currencies Trend Long Term

They reflect the underlying health of the country they represent so this means long trends of months or years and this system will get you a good chunk of the profits they produce.

You then have a couple of other very important advantages:

- Its objective you don’t have to think about the signal you just do it

- Its extremely time efficient and only takes about 15 minutes a day

So is the system perfect?
Of course not all systems have a weakness and this one is no exception.

When currencies don’t trend, it will generate losing signals but you can add a filter and exit on a one or two week high or low, go flat and wait for the next signal or you can use a short term moving average. This smoothes the equity curve but whichever way you choose long term this system makes profits.

The best forex trading systems are simple and this one is and don’t believe the vendors who try and sell you software with fancy names, clever packaging and a made up track record, go for the real deal and that’s a system, that’s still used after 25 years and is at the heart of many a successful forex trading strategy.

You don’t get much for free in life but Richard Donchian has left something for free, that is valuable, easy to understand and can help any trader seek currency trading success in just 15 minutes a day.

There is currently a genuine state of confusion regarding commercial loan rates. The confusion is not just restricted to borrowers, either. Brokers, lenders and professional investors are all struggling to get a handle on what is going on with commercial loan rates.

Borrowers are under the impression that we’re at historic lows. They hear about the feds lowering rates and also hear national banks quote ridiculously low rates. What these national banks aren’t advertising is that their decline rates are at historic highs. Is difficult to be able to track a statistics like this but my friends and associates that work at intuitions like Bank of America, CITI etc tell me that there decline rate are at 95% or so.

So what that means is that they are cherry picking to an incredible degree (can you blame them?). The low commercial loan rates that they are advertising are only relevant for 5% of the borrowers that apply. Think about that for a moment, for every 100 people that fill out those 6 page applications, provide their tax return, etc, 95 of them are getting declined. As a comparison the decline rates are normally more like 50%.

The confusion is not just restricted to borrowers but to professionals in the industry as well. The spreads or margin are varying from one lender to the next more than we have seen. People in the business are struggling to understand why. Normally if you were to get 10 quotes on the same deal the commercial loan rates would be within .25 -. 35% of each other. Perhaps a few would tweak the prepayments or term, etc but their rates would be close. Now we are seeing commercial loan rates on the same deal varying between 2% -3%…

Part of the problem is that some of the lenders and banks themselves are having their cost of capital increase. Some of their credit rating are being lowered, as their balance sheets are scrutinised. So despite the Feds lower their rates, the margins that the banks charge (in order to cover their costs, risk and make a profit) go up as their cost of capital go up. So as one bank is more financial healthy than the next its costs of capital varies.

So what’s the happy ending? We currently don’t have one. If you’re thinking of buying or refinancing a commercial property in the next few months we would suggest getting it done now as in maybe a while before things re-stabilize and commercial loan rates become more universal.

Cat urinary tract health care remains one of the top challenges facing caring cat owners. Be on the lookout for the symptoms cats show when they have poor cat urinary tract health or other feline urinary tract disorder(FLUTD). You also have simple, natural remedies to include in your cat’s daily diet that will reduce if not eliminate the chances of your cat experiencing the excruciating pain associated with urinary tract infection in cats.

You or someone you know probably has endured the human version of a urinary tract infection. There is an intense, persistent urge to urinate accompanied by a burning sensation when urinating. The urine has a strong odor and there may even be blood in the urine.

In the cat world, these symptoms are very similar except that progressed cases of urinary tract infection in cats can lead to a very painful death. Cats of any age may suffer from the disorder, but older cats are more susceptible. Another similarity to human UTI is that both female and male cats can suffer from poor cat urinary tract health.

In fact, male cats are more susceptible to one condition more so than female cats — urinary stones.

5 Conditions of Poor Cat Urinary Cat Health

1. Incessant licking in the genital area
2. Blood in the urine
3. Urinary(Bladder) stones also called uroliths
4. Urethral obstruction
5. Death

The only way your cat knows how to deal with an itch or burning sensation in his genital area is to lick and lick and lick. One clue to a urinary tract infection in cats is that you find urine on the floor, or on tile or in the bathtub — really a blessing because you can see it.

Blood may be visible in the urine. However, if you don’t see any blood that doesn’t mean its not there. A trained eye using a microscope will note if there is blood in the urine.

Urinary stones are a huge reason to alert on changes in your cat’s behavior pointing out urinary tract infections in cats. These stones are mineral crystals formed in the bladder.

When the stones leave the bladder they travel down the urethra tube to exit the body. The stones become lodged in the urethra and block the passage of urine. This problem occurs more in male cats than females as the male urethra tube is narrower. Smaller stones cause a blockage where the female’s wider urethra allows the smaller crystals to pass through.

This is where time becomes a critical factor. If the stones aren’t dislodged naturally or medically, your cat endures a painful death. You have 72 hours from the onset to deal with the stones. Unfortunately, your cat may not display symptoms for 24 to 48 hours.

Causes

It was once thought that certain minerals in cat food contributed to urinary stones. Bacteria can also lead to poor cat urinary tract health.

Today, veterinarians pay more attention to the ph level of the cat’s urine. Ph is the measurement of the acid or alkaline level of the urine. Veterinarians recommend the ph level be around 6.0 to 6.5.

Prevention

Ask your vet to check the ph level in your cat’s urine.

Place clean, fresh water bowls throughout the house and outdoors so that water is very available to your cats. Provide smaller meals more frequently. Minimize major routine changes.

Make no mistake about it, you can help your cat stick to a simple, natural pet care program that promotes vital cat urinary tract health. There are a number of natural remedies available that are blends of herbs tested and proven to treat painful and chronic urinary tract infection in cats.

Kate Rieger has been owned by 15+ cats and is a champion of natural remedies for her own cats and her feral cat neighbors.  While she would like to extend simple, natural care to every pet in the neighborhood, she takes it one animal at a time.  Kate is on good behavior during her speaking engagements at various organizations where she spreads the word about natural alternatives to pet ailments.

Cats–We Love Cats!
Cats need to be Spayed and Neutered if they are not to be bred.

This is so important that I will say it again:

Cats need to be Spayed and Neutered if they are not to be bred.

There are just too many unwanted litters and kittens and cats being killed each year that it is staggering. I am not sure if it is just the Humane Society in my neighborhood or it is the policy of all Humane Societies that they euthanize cats and kittens if they have not found a home in 5-7 days. The proper term is Euthanize, but it is killing–plain and simple…they kill them. It’s not their fault, but the fault of all the owners who just can’t get their cats or kittens de-sexed. There are many programs out there that will help you if you just ask. The main ones that I deal with are Spay Today and Allie Cat Allies. Both have main websites that you can go to to get lots more information. They will be in the links section of this hub.

Allie Cat Allies has such information about how to build an outdoor shelter and feeding centers from basic and simple and inexpensive to elaborate and costly. It depends on how much you think your cats are worth. Some Spay Today programs across the country have FREE Spaying and Neutering while others, such as mine, have low-cost. There are other fees involved with this and you should contact the Spay Today in your area to see what they are. Rabies Vaccinations are mandatory in some locals, so it is best to check on those.

Some have nail clipping and many tests like FIV and Feline Leukemia, feline panleukopenia (distemper), feline viral rhinotracheitis, feline calicivirus, and rabies. feline leukemia (FeLV), feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), ringworm, and chlamydia. The AAFP recommends AGAINST FeLV vaccinations in totally indoor cats who have no exposure to other cats. FIP vaccinations should only be given to cats who have a possibility of being exposed to it through other cats. The choice to use chlamydia and ringworm vaccines is based upon the prevalence of the disease in your area. I had a cat that died of Feline AIDS. He got it from licking the tears off a cat that was just thrown into our yard in a towel. That cat died a week later and our cat was a very nurturing cat. We didn’t know that this other cat had Feline Aids (FIV). Our cat lost 12 pound in like two weeks time. We finally had to put him to sleep. It was the hardest thing that I have ever had to do. He was my baby and he was only 11 years old. If you have any idea if the cat has ever been outdoors around other cats or you are going to have this cat outdoors, get those tests done and get them their booster shots.

Feline AIDS
Feline AIDS is another reason to spay/neuter your cat/kitten and to keep them from fighting. Feline AIDS is not transferred from cat to human or human to cat, but it is very much like the Human AIDS that is passed from human to human. It is certain death for the animal who contracts it. It is not spread by intercourse such as the human AIDS is but through body fluids such as tears and blood from scratches and bites of fighting stray cats. Though some cats will have it for many years and not show any signs of it. Once they get the virus they can never get rid of it.

Symptoms of Feline AIDS from the inital onset to the final stage of the disease are

1. fever
2. depression, and just not feeling or acting like they should
3. bad gum infections and the loss of teeth.
4. Lack of and sudden weight loss
5. Cats get colds easily and are hard to get rid of.

The second stage of the illness they can stay there for the rest of there lives if well cared for and given lots of love and attention. At times the cat may not want to eat or lack the willpower to, but you can experiment with foods from Special Cat foods, to canned foods and even human and baby food. The best one are fish and chicken.

The Third stage is where the immune system totally breaks down and the cat is very ill. At this time the cat will not be able to sustain itself and it’s organs start to deteriorate rapidly.

Helping Other Cats

If you are like me you will just want to help any cat that comes in your yard. Well, it is law in this state that if you feed a stray or feral cat then it becomes yours. I think that is ridiculous and lets the real owners off the hook of responsibly for those cats. They use circular logic with that saying that no one should feed them then. Some people around my neighborhood just leave their cats there when they move or many people drop the off thinking that they can survive on their own in the woods. The think is the can’t and most times they will die a very slow agonizing death. I have seen two do that and I even tried to help them but they were at the stage of eat or be eaten and were very mean. They were not feral, they were just at their wits end and didn’t trust anyone. I was able to touch and hold this cat sometimes, not all the time, but sometimes. That cat came to a horrible end by getting hit by a car. I buried it when I found it in the road. She would have been a very loving cat if someone would have taken her to a NO-KILL Animal Shelter.

So you want to help the cats that come to you and don’t seem to have a home of their own. You feed them and water and give them some kind of shelter. You want to stop them from having more kittens and making unwanted litters in your area. If you are not sure if it is feral or stray then by all means get that animal de-sexed. First of all call your local Spay Today and ask them if they rent out traps for cats that you cannot catch on your own. Most will rent them out to you at a nominal charge and they will even have carriers to rent if you do not have enough for your own kittens or cats.

Alley Cat Allies, the national feral cat resource defines a feral cat as “either a cat who has lived his whole life with little or no human contact and is not socialized, or a stray cat who was lost or abandoned and has lived away from human contact long enough to revert to a wild state. Feral cats avoid human contact and cannot be touched by strangers.”

Alley Cat Allies explains the difference between feral and stray cats: “A stray cat is a domestic cat who has been abandoned or has strayed from home and become lost… because stray cats once knew human companionship, they can usually be re-socialized or re-homed. Adult feral cats usually cannot be socialized and are most content living outside. Feral kittens up to 8 or 10 weeks of age can often be tamed and placed in homes.” (used by permission from Alley Cat Allies).

Most litters of feral cat in colonies die before their first year. Tom Cat’s fight and transmit many diseases and illnesses throughout the colonies as well. If you decide that you want to de-sex the feral cats in your area, please do not remove any males or females from the colony. Studies of the TNR (Trap Neuter and Release) program has shown that if you remove a male that this only produces a vacuum effect and new males and female will move in. The Vet will do what is called ear tipping. They cut just the tip off of the ear of the cat while they are getting de-sexed. It is harmless to the cat and most Vets offer it for FREE. This is like a marking that anyone can see and it lets them know that this cat has already been de-sexed. It saves them time and money and you too. Young kittens can be tamed and placed in new homes.

From personal experience kittens that are raised outside and are partially feral and are about 3 months of age are hard to socialize and will be indoor/outdoor cats. I have two cats from a mother who had them in a tree in my yard and I took them in. She was very domesticated and was not being cared for so I gave her up for adoption along with three of her other litters. These two that she brought to me were at least 3 months old and took about 6 weeks of feeding them outside to get them near enough to me so that I could pick them up. Then when I did get them inside it took another 5 months for them to stay out in plain view of everyone–to at least me. Shadow is a female and we thought she was a male–exhibited all the male behavior and all. When we got her de-sexed is when they called and told me that she was a female. I don’t think she knows that she is a she because she will spray if I do not let her go outside when she wants to go outside. Her sister just has a high-pitched whine. I don’t like her outside because she gets mean, but she will sneak out with the other cats. Everyone else, even Shadow will come back in at night, but this one will not and it takes me about 4 days until she comes to the door wanting in. So just a friendly warning, if they have been outside they may not be total indoor cats.

I cannot take in any more cats. I already have 5 indoor/outdoor cats. One is the kitten of the Mommy Kitty that I just got de-sexed. She brought them to me. all five of them, last year. This year I knew when she got pregnant and by whom and I put her in a roomy Dog Crate with this litter. The male was de-sexed about 3 months ago while she was in the crate having her last litter of kittens. The kittens were all just de-sexed on Monday. Three males remain to be de-sexed that come in my yard. That will be it, and I hope that I don’t have anymore kittens for a long time.

Flea Control on a large scale!
There are many things a cat can get from Fleas. Some are:

1. Flea allergic dermatitis or what’s commonly known as FAD.
2. Tapeworms
3. Fleas also cause anemia in cats.

Thre are many ways to get rid of fleas. Frontline and Advantage are some of the chemical based ones. These are easy to administer to the cat. There are generic brands that do well also. Read the labels to see what the ingredients are and if they math up to the same on the name brand. I also have a more organic way of preventing fleas. Garden Lime works to rid fleas out of your yard and also to sweeten the earth from dog feces and urine. Diatomaceous earth is another. When you use this don’t allow it to get into your eyes or the animals eyes and don’t breath it. That is the only precaution. It is the consistency and color of finely ground flour. Eating it will not harm cats or kittens because animals are too big. It only kills small insects and is natural. Don’t get the kind you put in your pool or has any other additives. Diatomaceous earth is made up of the fossilized remains of diatoms, single-cell organisms. The glass-like nature of diatomaceous earth makes it one of the oldest forms of insecticide. The sharp surfaces cut through the insect cuticle and the insect dies of dehydration. I have used it with great results. I just spread it with my garden spreader in my yard where cats and other animals walk on and let nature take it’s course. I also use it on my carpets and floors. Scuffle across your carpets to get the while stuff down into the fibers of your carpet and let it stay there for a few days. Then vacuum it up. On the label it states that when it gets wet it becomes non-active. I think this is due to the particles in the substance becoming soft. and not sharp on the edges. It also says the best results is if you leave it on the ground for several days to get the best results. This would also go for the Lime too. Be careful with the Lime though as it can burn animal paws if they walk on it for more then 10 minutes.

Which Side Of The Fence Do You Sit?

Animal Rights is a A political movement that opposes all animal use including working dogs (for blind, etc.) and breeding companion dogs (i.e., pets) These Organization endorse this stance: People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), Doris Day Animal League, Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) (but not local Humane Societies)

Their beliefs are:

The agenda is taken from The Politics of Animal Liberation written by Kim Barlett, Editor of the Animals’ Agenda, Nov. 1987 but a minimally

modified version was part of the Green Party Platform for 2000 1. Abolish by law animal research.

2. Outlaw the use of animals for cosmetic and product testing, classroom demonstrations and weapons development.

3. Make vegetarian meals available at all public institutions, including schools.

4. Eliminate all animal agriculture.

5. End herbicides, pesticides, and other

Agricultural chemicals. Outlaw predator control. 6. Transfer enforcement of animal welfare

legislation away from the Dept. of Agriculture. 7. Eliminate fur ranching and end the use of furs.

8. Prohibit hunting, trapping and fishing.

9. End the international trade in wildlife goods.

10. Stop any further breeding of companion animals, including purebred dogs and cats.

11. Spaying and neutering should be subsidized by state and municipal governments. Commerce in domestic and exotic animals for the pet trade

should be abolished. 12. End the use of animals in entertainment.

Animal Welfare is a stewardship of the Companion Animals and many other uses of Animals. Their beliefs are

1. Supports raising and using animals humanely and responsibly for food, fiber, labor, and medical research.

2. Manages animal populations by hunting; keeping animals in zoos and other educational venues.

3. Requires humane treatment and responsible use of animals on farms, ranches, circuses, rodeos, homes, kennels, catteries, laboratories, and wherever else animals are maintained.

4. Endorses a scientific approach to commercial use and management of wild animal populations and a quick death when death is inevitable.

5. Celebrates human/animal interactions and works to improve animal well-being.

6. Enjoys animal sports and animals in movies, circuses, and on stage.

7. Rejoices in the bond between humans and pets.

The main Advocates for Animal Welfare are: The American Kennel Club (AKC), National Animal Interest Alliance (NAIA), Responsible Pet Owners Alliance (RPOA)

I am on the side of Animal Welfare. Animals are not going to go away and they are our friends and as such they are our companions and do look to us for food, shelter, companionship, love and sometimes their very life. I will always take in an animal or help one if they need it and come to me for such.

Recently I wrote some articles and outlined 2 x trades using both fundamentals and technical inputs combined. The trades made nearly 1,000 pips and you can look them up and see. Most traders think you can’t use both – but you can. Here I will show you how to do it and target triple digit gains.

Let’s first look at a simple equation for forex price movement.

Supply and Demand Facts + Investor Perception of = Price

Traders Make a Price

So it’s not the facts that are important by themselves, it’s all the investors trading opinions of them combined that gives us the final price

Now it’s a fact that markets do move to the long term fundamentals – but the traders make their trades based upon their knowledge and their emotions. They will as always, push prices away from fair value and the long term fundamentals.

A look at any forex chart will show you that these spikes always end and prices come back to fair value.

Seeing the News in a Different Way to the Majority

So how do we get advance warning that prices have been pushed to far?

Not by a chart – that just tells you what is happening not what may happen. To get clues to the future you need to look at the market sentiment and try and judge if prices have been pushed to far or not.

Many traders try and trade the news and the opinions of so called experts – but this is a waste of time. These are just opinions and reflect the crowd psychology.

What you want to look for is – when the price is out of step with the fundamentals and greed and fear have taken hold and this is easy to spot:

- Watch for a general view there is no top or bottom in sight

- Watch for news that should be bullish or bearish which fails to move the market the way it should. If bullish news fails to rally a market for example this is telling you what may happen next

- Check a key technical level and use your forex charts to key off it and do the opposite of the majority

Judge Sentiment and Win Big

Sentiment is the key to where markets go and you don’t look at the news from the perspective of what is said – but how price reacts to it.

You are looking for the Opposite of everyone else.

It’s then time to time your entry with technical tools and use support and resistance to key off.

Prices don’t move to fundamentals so you shouldn’t use it on its own. Prices also don’t move to some hocus pocus repetitive scientific number sequence either. Forex markets are an odds game and you need to judge sentiment to win.

You can only do this by combining both disciplines and if you don’t believe it works – check out my 2 recent articles which made nearly 1,000 pips in less than two weeks.

If you use fundamentals and technical and learn to use them the right way you can make huge gains.

Penny stocks, and day trading in general, are attractive because profits can be realized in a short amount of time. Unfortunately, that short-term profit often puts traders into a short-term mindset. And when it comes to money management and goal setting, short term thinking can be devastating.

The very reason for day trading is to make a greater profit than might be possible in any other investment vehicle. And it certainly can be if done correctly. But if the mindset is only for the short-term goal of getting rich quick, then you can be guaranteed, disaster looms ahead.

To truly cash in on penny stocks profits, one must have a longer term outlook. Now, I’m not talking about the time period of a trade. I’m talking about the overall plan and expectations. Not trade-by-trade. Not even week-by-week. But how about developing a life-time system? (Sort of like a developing a life-time mindset of eating healthy as opposed to crash diets.)

Two Aspects of Trading

Let’s examine two aspects of trading. The first is when to get in and when to get out of the market. When to pull the trigger, where to set the trailing stops, when to make the exits. To help you in these decisions, there are trading systems, software, newsletters, hot lines, trading reports, and the list goes on. These are all tremendous helps. (See below for some of the better ones available.)

But the second aspect often goes begging – and it is a decision made every time a trade is executed. That decision is: how much of your capital are you going to risk on one trade? This decision often has more to do with your success than knowledge of the market itself.

Your decision of how much you are willing to risk must be made way ahead of the moment you pull the trigger to make your trade.

A Simple Example.

One trader followed the advice of a trading service (perhaps much like Marl, the Stock Trading Robot). For a year this trader made trades according to the advice given. At the end of the year his account reached $27,000. The next year, he pulled in $15,000. He now was in profits for $42,000. Pretty good, right?

Trader number two used the same service. Contrary to trader number one, this trader applied conservative money management principles. His first year netted him $63,000. (If you’re slow with math, that is a 233% increase over trader number one.) The second year, he continued in his conservative pattern and brought in $113,000. His total profits added up to $176,000. A whopping 419% more than trader number one.

The third year showed a downturn in the trading service and there was a loss of $15,000. Trader number one wound up with a profit of $27,000 for the three years. Trader number two, however, stood at $102,000 in total profits. Hence trader number one wound up giving back all his profits.

The question is, which trader would you rather be?

What Can Money Management Do For You?

1. Keep you from being wiped out.
2. Allow you to approach system trading with a plan and the ability to continue trading even if the system fails miserably.
3. Increase your profits five- to tenfold (500 percent to 1,000 percent) without increasing your overall risk of the account. (It may even decrease the overall percent at risk in the account.)
4. Protect your profits should the system fail you.

There are three vital questions that every trader must ask regarding money management:

1. What is the goal of your account?
2. What is the total risk you are willing to take to achieve that goal?
3. What are the available resources to achieve your goal without violating your risk tolerance levels?

With every penny stock day trader the answers will be different. What is right for you might not be right for your trading buddy.

Understanding money management will allow you apply the principles to your trading to accomplish your goals – without violating your risk tolerance levels.

Three Simple Tips in Money Management:

1. Limit Order: Know how to place a limit order when buying stock. No surprises. You buy only at the exact price you specify, usually somewhere between the bid and ask price on your screen.
2. Stop-loss market order: Immediately after you buy, place your stop-loss market sell order with your online broker. This 30-second act of typing in symbol, price, shares, and the time period during which you want this order in place will automatically sell your stock later, at the price you have predetermined should the market take a surprise nosedive.
3. Sell order: Decide on the price at which you’d like to sell. Don’t get greedy. (Greed and fear are the twin killers in trading. Keep greed glands in check at all times.) Keep that number written down on a piece of paper and keep it close at hand. If the stock zooms up further, you can always buy back in for $8 or $10 or $30 commissions. That better than losing your entire investment.

Online day trading is a tremendous opportunity to grow your cash reserves. But please educate yourself along the way. Just as a person can self-educate in the areas of finance and the Internet, you can learn how to safely profit by day trading penny stocks.

In the area of money management ask yourself:

1. Are you strong enough to create a plan of action and stick with it?
2. Are you strong enough to walk away when winning? (Hint: Emotions are dangerous to your trading health.)

We’ve all read the statistics that approximately 70% of all traders lose money. Isn’t it ironic that in the trading industry, more than 70% of all traders ignore money management. Hmmm. Could it be coincidence?

Only you can determine if this venture is for you. And if it is, be wise enough to include prudent money management into your trading system.
