What a rollercoaster of a week we have had with our forex trading.  Made some money then gave it back, made some more then gave it back again.  With all the mixed news going on out there, I think the market is having a hard time working out which way to go, so therefore a choppy forex market is inevitable.  With our new strategy of setting limits to exit the trades, we are at least picking up some profits with parts of our trades, but unfortunately the small amount we leave in the trade  in case we have a trend, has been going back the wrong way and taking back all our profits.

This week we have decided to set a limit to exit all of the trade together.  To do this, we enter a trade at a certain price, so today we entered the USD/JPY going long, we then set the limit to exit the trade once it goes 70 pips our way(this is half the average trading range for the day).  So if the market has a big rally overnight when we are asleep and goes 70 pips in our favour, the trade will exit automatically and we are left with a nice profit in our account.  We love setting limits,  as we make money while we are sleeping.

The Lifestyle Trader software allows us to work these trades out easily as they have all the data there for you to follow.

I’ll let you know how our trade went.

Have a great day

During the first three months of pregnancy, or the first trimester, your body undergoes many changes. As your body adjusts to the growing baby, you may have nausea, fatigue, backache, mood swings and stress.

Nausea and Vomiting

Usually called “morning sickness,” nausea and vomiting are common during early pregnancy. For many women, though, it isn’t limited to just the morning. Although it can seem like it will last forever, nausea and vomiting usually go away after the first trimester.

Some women might not feel any discomfort at all! If you have been pregnant before, you might feel differently this time around. Just as each woman is different, so is each pregnancy.

Personally I felt fine with my first pregnancy, but was practically bed ridden during the first trimester of my second pregnancy, but once the three months was up it was like flicking a switch and I felt great.

By the end of the first trimester, your baby is about three inches long and weighs about half an ounce. The eyes move closer together into their positions and the ears also reach their proper position. The liver is making bile and the kidneys are secreting urine into the bladder. Even though you can’t yet feel your baby move, your baby will move inside you in response to pushing on your abdomen. Keep this to a safe minimum.

A fetus at 12 weeks can make a fist and suck their thumb, has fully formed eyelids and well formed digits and ears.

New life is amazing.

You are probably feeling a little overwhelmed at the moment and full of excitement but also apprehension. What do you do next? The first thing to do after you find out you are pregnant is go to your doctor, that’s if you have done a home pregnancy test, to get them to confirm it. They will also give you a due date according to when you had your last period. (so it’s a good idea to try and work out when this was before you go). No doubt there will be lots of questions you want answered but some of the important ones which may affect your growing baby are:

· can I drink alcohol or coffee?

· what if I’m a smoker, what will this do to my baby and how can I quit?

· what should I eat?

· how much exercise can I do and what type?

· can I still have sex with my partner? (don’t be embarrassed to ask this one as everyone wants to know)

The doctor will ask you about your and your partners family history and if there are any diseases or deformities in your family. These days there are so many tests available to help determine the health of your unborn baby  while you are pregnant, and if there is anything wrong, it gives you time to prepare yourself and make important decisions.

If your doctor doesn’t give you the answers to your questions, find a new doctor, afterall having a baby is the most precious gift which can be given to you.

We would like to give you a free mini version of Pregnancy A-Z which will give you tips on what to expect while you are pregnant.

Recently my husband accidently came across a forum asking if anyone out there knew of Aussie Rob and had any information about his trading software.  He thought he would do the right thing and give them advice on our experiences, since we have been using the trading software for 12 months and have been extremely happy with the results.

What followed, bordered on the ridiculous and incredulous. In his reply he commented that we average at least a 30% return per month on our initial trading fund. The comments he recieved from this trading forum were anything but constructive. Basically he had complete strangers who wouldn't have a clue, call him a liar and were asking him to back up what he was saying.  After initially being taken aback,  he promptly replied for them to open up their mind and take a little time to invest in themselves and the huge possibilities available to each and every one of us.

Trading forums can be a great way to learn new things but you need to be careful to not get caught up and waste time with cynics who are only interested in seeing their names up in lights and have nothing contructive to contribute to these forums.

 If you are going to add things to these sites, have a think about what value you are giving other people with your comments. You are just wasting other peoples time when you really have nothing constructive to say.

Whether you are a new trader or have been trading for a long time, you will no doubt have your own trading strategies on when to get in to a trade and went to get out of the trade.

Recently my husband and I have been discussing the best exit strategies we can use to maximise our profits.  After experimenting with our simulater account,  we have come up with something we are very happy with, and even though we may not take full advantage of the maximum profits which could be made, we have chosen to exit for smaller profits in a smaller time frame.

As an example , instead of us waiting for the exit signals of the lines crossing in our Aussie Rob software, we have chosen to set limit orders which will get us out of the trades automatically, at a profit we have both agreed upon. 

We have been trading forex live for 8 months now and it has taken us 8 months to work this out, but the more knowledge we acquire, the more able we are to change the way we trade to maximise our profits and limit our losses.

One important rule when you are working out your trading strategies, is that you will never have a perfect exit. The exit you need to work on, is one that you can be happy about and celebrate your profit, not grumble about the profit you may have missed out on.

Well as promised, here are the results of our forex trades for this week.

We closed our EUR/JPY trade for a nice profit of $707.08, GBBP/USD for a small profit of $32.52, EUR/CHF for a loss of $257.26 and USD/JPY for a loss of $75.44. So all up we made a profit of $406.90 which isn't bad for 2 days of trading which took me a total of around 10 minutes.  We still had plenty of time for lifestyle and making money on other projects.

Have a Great Day

Well its the first day back after the US market opened after the Easter Holiday weekend, and we decided to start looking for entry signals again on our forex trades.

After updating our Aussie Rob charts, we entered 4 pairs which had clear entry signals. The charts told us to go short in USD/JPY, EUR/CHF, EUR/JPY and long in GBP/USD so thats what we did. 

FOREX TRADES AS AN INVESTMENT

We personally do not use forex trading as an investment but solely for cash flow. Because you may only be in trades for a short time, usually 1-4 days, we generate our income for that period and get out.  Sometimes we make a loss if the market is really volatile, but we are usually only giving back profits made from previous trades.

Stay tuned and I will let you know how we go on the trades above. Don't forget if you are interested, you can order a free DVD that explains how the software works at:

Wow, what a week.  We have finally learnt the lessons, Aussie Rob has been teaching us all and exited all of our forex trades before the easter holidays, for a very nice profit.  Over the past 7 months of trading forex, we have been taught to get out of all of our trades over major US holidays. Did we listen? NO. Did we pay for it? YES. My husband and I worked out that if we did what we were told, we would have been around $30 000 better off, but it took us 3 major holidays to learn that lesson. In January, we had $7000 profit in open trades. One of the biggest events in history took place when the inaugeration of President Obama occurred, well you can guess what happened to the forex markets and our $7000 (plus a little of our own money).  Sometimes you need to feel a little pain before something sinks in, well I am happy to say we have finally learnt.  With easter coming up this weekend, we decided on Monday to exit all of our open trades.  By Tuesday, the trades were all starting to go the opposite direction, and when we did our update this morning with our Aussie Rob software, we found that if we had stayed in (even though the lines still haven't crossed), we would have once again given back our profits and some of our own money.  So a BIG YAY for us.

With all the doom and gloom happening around the world, those trading forex, including us, are lapping up the unstable conditions.  Quite frankly we don’t make as much money when the economy is stable and not much is happening.

That said, the market can become too unstable and our software can’t keep up. Because it measures the buyers and the sellers of the currency pairs, sometimes our software tells us to get in long because there has been more buyers then sellers and then a  dramatic sell out over night happens and we lose money. We are then told to go short when the market has already had a large swing and the opposite will happen and there will be more buyers then sellers.

Luckily when this happens, it usually only lasts for about a week and then the market will find a direction and off we go again on the path of making money on the forex market.  So you have to be prepared to give some of the money which you have made on the big swings, back.  Even though we give money back, we are still way out ahead in profit overall.

That’s  why Aussie Rob insists you paper trade for at least three months when you purchase his software, so you can see what happens to the forex market through a number of different conditions.

Forex trading (or foreign exchange) with Aussie Rob’s software is as easy as pressing the update button at 8.15am in the morning.  From Tuesday to Saturday my husband and I take around 15 minutes to trade the foreign exchange.

Simply by updating the new data which has been processed and worked out for us, we look at the red and green lines, and if the lines cross at the right angle, we either get in or out of the trade.  How easy is that?  What we don’t do is read charts and try and interpret data from analyst to decide which trades we will enter or exit.

Overall we trade 10 currency pairs. The data coming in will give us all the information we need to decide quickly and easily which trades to get in and which trades to get out.

Below is a video showing you the simple method of reading the red and green lines and what the Lifestyle Trader software does for you.

As you can see, not only do you get the data for forex trading, you also get the information to trade commodities and stock options.
