Trade Stock Online

Trade Stock Online
Learn how to trade stocks like a pro. Professional stock trader, and three-time winner of the classic hedge hog stock trading contest, Tony Oz, shares the methods which made him one of the most respectful stock traders in the world. These are the methods which Tony Oz uses in his trading every day. From beginner to intermediate the knowledge you will gain will pay for this course ten times over! This course is designed to improve your trading skills.
At the Wealth Expo on 3/12/2005, this is what Tony Oz had to say about this course: "I don't hold any live stock trading seminars anymore. I have no reason to do so because my complete stock trading system is now available in a format which gives the end user a great value. The best thing about this Stock Trading Course is that a student can skip and replay segments as he or she wishes. They cannot do that in a live stock trading seminar. And since my approach to stock trading is exactly the same as featured in the course, it's definitely relevant to today's market."
G.N. from Los Angeles wrote to us that Stock Trading Course "is well worth the money and absolutely essential"
In a review, R.T., a professional stock trader from San Diego said, "It is an entire stock trading system rolled up into a little package."
C.M. sent us an update email that said, "I just wanted to let you know that if in the future you get someone else asking the same question that I did, re: Should I purchase the CDs You can let anyone know that someone else wrote in earlier with that question and after several months and watching the CDs several times and learning from them every time, that it is a "YES"
"Once you read one of Tony Oz's books, or watch the course on CD, you are hooked...I personally learned more from Tony's CD course than from all the books and seminars I attended combined. And I've read at least 20 books and attended many seminars before I got my hands on this course." ~ Beth Jackobson at Traders Expo, NY 2/13/2005.
While at the Online Trading Expo which took place in NY, NY in 2005 this is what traders who walked up to us had to say:
"Tony's simple approach becomes contagious throughout the course."
"I strongly recommend Stock Trading Course for beginners who want to build fundamental just like me"
"Each time I watch a segment of any of the four CDs of Stock Trading Course, I get a little more out of it. I'm am SO glad I got this CD course!"
"Stock Trading Course is a useful reference and explains many new, specific techniques that traders will find useful"
"He really does a good job reinforcing the importance of finding support and resistance levels"
"I really like Mr. Tony Oz stock trading system because it is really simple"
"I have to give a strong recommendation to this course."
"This course is worth every penny and much much more. Tony Oz is one of the primary reasons why I now trade for a living" ~ Mikhail at Traders Expo, NY 2/13/2005.

Online Trading

In most cases, as in the real world, trading stocks via the Internet using a broker will incur commission costs. Having said this, unlike trading through a broker in the real world, trading online usually incurs much smaller broker commission � and, indeed, in some cases, you can even manage free online trading. Free trading using a brokerThe world of online stock trading is now extremely competitive. Consequently there are a large number of businesses that advertise their online Internet brokerage capabilities, but there are still only a limited amount of customers. To try and entice your business away from other online brokers, some brokers now offer a period of free trading online if you subscribe to their service. Thus, one way you can cut out brokerage charges, and trade free of brokers� commissions, is to sign up for one of these services. Monthly tradesNot strictly speaking a �free� trading services, but if you think you are going to do a large amount of online trades in any one given month, you may want to consider signing up for a brokerage house that offers you �x� amount of trades per month in return for you paying a monthly subscription fee to the brokerage. This way, if you calculate your monthly trades carefully, you can make sure that you get a certain number of trades each month for free. However, you do need to be careful, because if you then only exercise a small number of trades in any one given month, the monthly commission fee structure could back-fire on you and you�ll end up paying a higher premium commission for your online trades. And finally�The world of online stock trading is growing rapidly every day. As such, very good benefit packages are available to new customers. You may find brokers� sites that do not offer commission free trades, but do offer free use of their stock trading software. Conversely, you may find brokers� sites that offer trial periods with no commission, but then charge for use of their stock trading software. What you then need to determine is which service will better meet your long-term needs. Finally, to find the best overall package to suit your needs, you need to do your homework and research the services being offered. In other words, you should not be picking the first brokerage service you see.

Trading Market

Trading Market
Market Type ValuesThe following market types are defined in TradingSolutions.Ä Note: If you are using data for a market which does not have a market type, select a market type that is closest to the way it trades.· Stock/ETFThis market type is used for data which is traded like a normal stock, including stocks and exchange traded funds (ETF’s).· Mutual FundThis market type is used for data which is traded like a mutual fund. The primary difference between stock data and mutual fund data is that mutual fund data defaults to trading at the next day’s close. However, this can be modified in the trading styles.· Index DataThis market type is used for data which contains index information. It is typically used only as an input to other trading and is not traded directly. Index data is not checked for outliers and other characteristics of bad price data.Ä Note: When trading an exchange traded fund, index fund, or index future, the data associated with the pricing of that instrument should be used rather than creating signals on the underlying index.
FOREX SpotThis market type is used for data which is traded on the FOREX spot market. Trading is done on margin based on settings in the trading style. A bid/ask spread is defined to address the spread brokers charge for this type of trading. See below for additional setting required for this market type.· FuturesThis market type is used for data which is traded as Futures contracts. Trading is done on margin based on the settings in the data series. See below for additional setting required for this market type.Ä Note: Futures data can be imported as individual contracts or as a continuous contract. It is typically easier to use continuous contracts in TradingSolutions for developing and analyzing trading signals.
Market Type SettingsFutures and FOREX spot markets require additional settings in order to be traded. In many cases, default values for these settings can be assigned when the data is first imported.· FOREX Spot¨ Pip SizeThis setting indicates the minimum amount by which the price can fluctuate. Most foreign currency pairs have a pip size of 0.0001.¨ Bid/Ask SpreadThis setting indicates the bid/ask spread your FOREX broker is using for this currency pair. All prices in the data series are assumed to Bid prices. The Bid/Ask spread is used during signal analysis whenever the Ask price is required.Ä Note: This value will always default to 5 pips. Individual brokers may have a spread of anywhere from 2 pips to over 10 pips for individual currencies.¨ LocalizationThis setting indicates which currency in the pair you will be taking your profits in.: Example: If your account is in U.S. dollars (USD), you should specify My Currency is First for pairs such as "USD/JPY" where USD is the base currency. You should specify My Currency is Second for pairs such as "EUR/USD" where USD is the counter currency.Ä Note: TradingSolutions currently does not support full analysis of foreign pairs. If you are using a pair in which neither currency is the currency your account is in, you should specify My Currency is First. The profits will be listed in the Base (first) currency. The effects of converting to and from this currency to your account currency will not be included.· FuturesThe following settings are required for using data with the Futures market type. These values are all specified by the exchange where the contract is being traded. For common U.S. contracts, these values will default to the values being used as of March 1, 2005.¨ Minimum Price Movement (Tick)This setting indicates the minimum amount by which the price can fluctuate, along with the equivalent value for a standard contract.¨ Initial MarginThis setting indicates the minimum amount of money per contract that must be in the account at the beginning of the trade.¨ Maintenance MarginThis setting indicates the minimum amount of money per contract that must be in the account after the trade has started. It is typically less than the initial margin, but may be equal to it.Market Type Settings ConsiderationsSince the market type and the market type settings are set for each individual data series, settings will typically be uniform for all fields across that data series. However, there are cases in which you may have settings that do not match those of the data series:· Changing Market TypeMarket types were introduced in TradingSolutions v3.1. Prior to this, futures and FOREX data was analyzed as stock data. In order to preserve models developed in previous versions, the market type of existing models is maintained until otherwise specified.· Changing Market Type SettingsThere are times when it may be necessary to change the settings associated with the market type. The most common example is changing the FOREX bid/ask spread when changing brokers. In order to preserve models developed with the old settings, the settings of existing models are maintained until otherwise specified.· Applying a Trading SolutionIf you apply a trading solution to data that has a different market type than that data used to create it, any trading styles used by the trading solution will be associated with the wrong market type. Also, it may be possible that the data in the portfolio used to create the trading solution has different market settings. This is especially common for the FOREX bid/ask spread.When you change the market type or market type settings of a data series on the Modify Data Series: Trading Settings page, TradingSolutions will offer to recalculate/re-optimize any existing fields to use the new settings. It is important to note that you should not do this if you would like to maintain the current signals or values.If a field has been created with a market type of market type settings that are different than the associated data, any trading styles associated with the field definition will have an additional checkbox indicating the alternate settings that are being used. Un-checking this checkbox will cause the field to recalculate or re-optimize with the current data settings.Ä Note: For fields defined for an entire group, this checkbox can be found on the Modify Field Dialog: Overview page.Similarly, if a field is currently using a trading style associated with a different market type, it will be prefaced with the words "WRONG MARKET" in the trading style selection control.

Wire Transfer

Western Union
One of the largest companies that offers wire transfer is Western Union (minimum of £25 in the UK, or $15 in the US). Western Union began in 1851 in Rochester, New York, and became the preeminent telegraph transfer service. It also introduced Telex, which was a predecessor of today's wire transfer services and is still used by some banks and business entites. Initially based in the United States, the company expanded operations internationally in 1989. [5].Western Union is a stand-alone entity and is not affiliated with a financial institution. Individuals who transfer or receive money with Western Union do not need to have an account with Western Union, or any financial institution. Instead, transfer instructions are sent into a central system, and the recipient can pick up the funds at a Western Union office in their area. Western Union transfers can also be initiated online. [6]
Concern and controversy about Western Union transfers has increased in recent years, due to the increased monitoring of money laundering transactions, as well as concern about terrorist groups using the service, particularly in the wake of 9/11. Although Western Union keeps information about senders and receivers, some transactions can essentially be done anonymously (ie, the receiver is not always obligated to show identification.) [7]
Country-to-country wire transfers
Most international, country-to-country transfers are executed using the SWIFT system. The co-operative society Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication, or SWIFT, was founded in 1974 by seven international banks. SWIFT operates a world wide network to facilitate the transfer of financial messages. Using these messages, banks can exchange data for transfer of funds between different financial institutions. The Society's headquarters are situated in La Hulpe, on the outskirts of Brussels. S.W.I.F.T. also acts as a United Nations sanctioned International Standards Body (ISO) for the creation and maintenance of financial messaging standards.Article 3 of S.W.I.F.T. states:
"The object of the Company is for the collective benefit of the Members of the Company, the study, creation, utilisation and operation of the means necessary for the telecommunication, transmission and routing of private, confidential and proprietary financial messages"Each financial institution is provided an ISO 9362 code, also known as a Bank Identifier Code, BIC Code, or SWIFT Code. These codes are generally eight characters in length. [8]As an example, Deutsche Bank is an international bank; its head office is based in Frankfurt, Germany. Its SWIFT code for its primary office is DEUTDEFF:DEUT identifies Deutsche Bank DE is the country code for Germany FF is the code for Frankfurt Using an extended code of 11 digits (if the receiving bank has assigned branches or processing areas individual extended codes) allows the payment to be directed to a specific office. For example, DEUTDEFF500 would direct the payment to an office of Deutsche Bank in Bad Homburg.European banks making transfers within the European Union also utilize the International Bank Account Number, or IBAN. [9][edit] Transfers within the United StatesBanks within the United States utilize SWIFT to make payments to banks in countries outside of the United States. For bank-to-bank transfers that are conducted within the United States, the Fedwire system is used. This system utilizes the Federal Reserve System and its assignment of bank routing numbers (in a similar way to how Automated Clearing House, or ACH payments, use those numbers to effect the payment and collection of checks).
