Nih teman-teman semua istilah perkantoran ane rangkum disini…

cekidot…

cocok untuk senyum2 di siang hari

ASAP
Singkatan dari As Soon As Possible, biasanya dipakai oleh atasan yang minta laporan dari bawahannya. Paling males dapet email yang subjectnya ASAP pake huruf gede. Biasanya laporan ini sifatnya dadakan bgt. Celakanya, bagi bawahan, laporan inilah yg biasanya paling lama dicuekin, alias gak diduga2 kalo sewaktu2 bos minta, walhasil..JEBRET! Lembur sampe pagi!

TENTATIVE
Kata sakti yang biasanya dipakai untuk menjelaskan sesuatu di masa depan yang kurang jelas menjadi lebih gak jelas. Apalagi kalo dalam suasana meeting yang udah sangat gak produktif Dan super ngebosenin, kalo bisa semua keputusan bersifat tentative. Yang penting cepet pulang.

MEETING
Harusnya sih RAPAT dalam EYD. Tapi MO gimana lagi? Dah bekennya begitu, kalo bilang rapat, kesannya MO ke Pak RT atau Pak Lurah aja.

TARUH DI MEJA SAYA
Salah satu dari sedikit kalimat berbahasa Indonesia yang dapat mewakili status is pengucapnya. Biasanya kalimat ini diucapkan oleh : Owner kepada Direktur. Direktur
kepada GM. GM kepada Manager. Manager kepada Supervisor. Supervisor kepada Staff . Staff kepada OB Dan terakhir OB kepada tukang bubur ayam. Kebayang kan ? Betapa susahnya kalo sang owner MO sarapan bubur?

AFTER LUNCH
Untuk menunjukan waktu yang HARUSnya jam 1 siang, tapi biasanya kalimat ini dipakai kalo janjian dengan level sesama manager atau diatasnya. Kalau masih janjian sesama staff or supervisor mah simple aja “Abis makan deh” atau “Makan dolo bro, baru Kita sambung” Note : Setinggi2nya level anda, jangan sampai bilang “Makan dolo bro.” ke owner.

COFFEE BREAK
Kebiasaan para pegawai malas yang tidak produktif. Sering dilakukan oleh bos atau para staff. Bos punya jadwal coffe break maksimal cuma 2 kali sehari Dan melakukannya di ruangan sendiri. Nah, kalau staff sering mencoba melakukan gerilya coffe break sesering mungkin di pantry, kantin atau smoking room. Dan sering panik kalau bos tiba2 memanggil. Ketika ditanya kemana, alesannya kreatif sekali. Fotokopi lah, ngejilid lah, toilet lah sampai alesan minta data dari komputer temen, gara2 YM-nya lagi trouble.

LEGALITAS
Campuran Indonesia-Inggris yang menunjukan keadaan pekerjaan yang sudah sampai ke level menengah keatas. Biasanya kata ini terucap ketika hasil atau proses produksi perusahaan tersandung sengketa. Heran, kenapa selalu kesebut kalo lagi kisruh ya? Contoh kalimat favorit “Kok bisa begitu? Legalitasnya kan sudah OK semua! Apa? Dia ngajak bawah tangan? Kuliah di mana sih TU orang?”

OVERTIME
Bahasa Indonesianya Lembur. Tapi somehow, overtime lebih keren. Soalnya kalo lembur kayak OB & Driver.

13th SALARY / BONUS
I love this sentence / word. Kalau nggak mengundang uang, seenggaknya mengundang kehebohan dalam kebersamaan. Dimana bagian2 yang tadinya bermusuhan & berseteru, tiba2 bersatu padu dalam kekompakan nan mengharu biru. sekaligus mall dan toko adi tempat pertemuan kedua

BREAKFAST/LUNCH/ DINNER MEETING
Kalau owner atau direktur yang melakukannya, terbukti efisien Dan tepat guna.. Kalau manager yang melakukannya terbukti menjadi alesan ulur2 jam istirahat Dan pemborosan budget perusahaan, sementara hasilnya tetep gantung. Kalau perlu melebar ke shopping meeting, karaoke meeting atau outbound meeting (biasanya ke Puncak. Sukur2 Bali )

ENTERTAINMENT
Hampir sejenis dengan penjelasan diatas. Bedanya produk yang dihasilkan berupa New Project atau sekedar ucapan terima kasih. Namun buntutnya lebih panjang, apalagi menyangkut new project. Budget yang disediakan pun lebih besar. Biasanya dilakukan oleh pimpro. Jenis entertaint juga bermacam2 tergantung sifat pimpro-nya. Adayang cuma sekedar dinner, karaoke malah sampai ke meja panti pijat plus plus di sekitar Fatmawati, Melawai atau daerah Kota & MangBes. Dengan satu tujuan mulia : Yang penting proyek jebol.

OUTING / OUTBOUND
Inisiatif management perusahaan dalam me-re-fresh karyawannya. Dengan tujuan agar lebih bugar Dan kompak menghadapi masalah2 di kantor. Sementara terkadang para karyawan mendapat hasil yang jauh lebih maksimal dari pada sekedar bugar. Affair. Moment Jo. Moment.

925 (NINE TO FIVE)
The International Office Hours. Bedanya, di negara maju dengan 925 bisa mencapai hasil yang maksimal, kalau di Indonesia 825 pun harus dibumbui overtime, dengan catatan gak janji beres ya.

24/7 (TWENTY FOUR SEVEN)
24 jam sehari 7 Hari seminggu. Kalimat sakti para bos untuk mengintimidasi tangan kanannya, dengan diiming-imingi bonus yang masih berada di gray area (baca : Kerja rodi dulu, bonus belom tentu, tergantung jebolan proyek)

PANTRY
Seharusnya sih tempat persiapan para OB untuk bikin kopi, nyiapin sarapan dan sejenisnya. Tapi sesuai kebutuhan Dan kreatifitas daya khayal karyawan, ruangan ini bisa menjadi multifungsi sebagai smoking room, gossip room, breast pump room, Dan room2 bagi komunitas underground lainnya. Pokoknya dari semua ruangan, pantry adalah ruangan paling top!

OB (OFFICE BOY)
Para malaikat penyelamat. Pahlawan tanpa tanda jasa. Percayalah, bila tak Ada OB , niscaya hancur seluruh kegiatan ekonomi perusahaan. Telepon boleh mati. Fax boleh rusak. Tapi kalo OB sakit? Stress menghinggapi seluruh kantor.

MESSENGER
Teman seperjuangan OB. Nasibnya-nya kurleb sama dengan OB. Tapi bedanya messenger lebih mobile karena tugasnya mengantarkan dokumen2 penting. Pekerjaan nan mulia sungguh. Walau terkadang jadi korban tangan2 karyawan jahil yang ingin menitipkan kado ke pacar yg letak kantornya (sangat amat) berjauhan.

JOBDESC
Stands for Job Description. Detail pekerjaan karyawan yang dituang dalam kontrak kerja. 80% dari JobDesc biasanya dianggap sepele Dan dicuekin. Sebaliknya, apabila gaji dipotong 80% malah akan menjadi bencana & malapetaka.

TOILET
Selain tempat buang hajat n dandan, toilet bisa menjadi ruangan pemersatu umat. Dimana sekali seminggu, sebulan, setahun atau bahkan seumur hidup si kasta rendah bisa berada satu ruangan dengan si kasta agung (kalo beruntung malah dalam keadaan celana melorot, dasi kena kencing, kolor longgar, lagi ngeden, bau kentut dsb)

SOUNDING
Istilah untuk pemberitahuan sesuatu yang harus di-up-dated kepada divisi2 yg bersangkutan. Walopun harusnya bersifat tulisan dan resmi, namun di tangan karyawan kebanyakan, sounding selalu bersifat verbal / oral Sehingga pada akhirnya yang terjadi buka up dated yang didapat melainkan word up atau malah fist up…(baca : tuduh2an / lempar2an) alamak jan.

CC & REPLY ALL
Istilah email yang selalu jadi bahan pembelaan nomor satu apabila proses sounding menjadi kisruh. Berdoa aja emailnya beneran nyampe, bukan mailer daemon atau lebih parah lagi masih ada di draft folder, hehehe.

MAN BEHIND THE DESK / ORANG KANTORAN
Ledekan para tenaga operasional lapangan kepada karyawan admin istrasi, apalagi yang berdasi. Namun karyawan admin strasi menyikapi dengan bijak, berupa keputusan tahan gaji, memotong uang lembur atau penyulitan admin istrasi kasbon dan cuti. Dengan alasan cerdas yang bersifat sangat teknis nan membingungkan tentunya.

AFFAIR
Bahasa indonesianya : SELINGKUH artinya (some might says) SELingan INdah KeluarGa UtuH. Salah satu dari sangat sedikit hal yang membuat semangat datang ke kantor.

FOLLOW UP
Kegiatan yang paling enak diucapin namun paling males dilakuin.

CONCERN
Bentuknya macem2 ada Tax Concern, Managemet Concern. Salary Concern, Employees Concern Namun apapun dan bagaimanapun bentuknya, concern2an ini pasti berujung dengan meeting nan membosankan yang sangat menguras waktu dan tenaga.

KASBON
Selamat hari ini. Celaka hari esok.

REIMBURSEMENT
Kata benda yang sangat diharap2kan kehadirannya oleh karyawan. Terutama bagi karyawan yang sangat mengabdi pada perusahaan. Karena bagi lidah orang Indonesiakata ini sangant sulit dilafalkan, maka dapat disingkat menjadi rembes atau rembesan. Contoh :
“Eh cuy, rembesan gw dah keluar belom?
“Belom nih coy, masih nyangkut di plafon”
“Dipercepat dong. Bokek nih”
“Beres. Jangan lupa traktirannya ya. Udah gw bantuin nih.. Lo kantau si bos paling lama soal begituan”
Jadi, reimbursement juga dapat menjadi semacam pungutan liar bagi bagian keuangan.

I HATE MONDAY
Terucap seminggu sekali. Biasanya di Senin pagi pukul 6. Hidup terasa berat & membosankan. Apalagi kalau pekerjaan menumpuk & jadwal meeting yg padat ada di depan mata.

MIDWEEK MADNESS
Ngambil istilah dari acara Rock MTV tahun 90-an. Saking annoyingnya gw males ngejelasinnya. Pokoknya pasti pada ngarti dah ya.

THANK GOD IT’S FRIDAY
Hari dimana 925 sama sekali gak berlaku. Istirahat 2 jam, dengan alasan solat jumat. Padahal malah ngelayap ke Gramedia / Gunung Agung. Karyawan wanitapun gak mo kalah dengan merayakan jumat siang dengan shopping dan makan siang di ujung dunia. Kayaknya bahagiaaaaa bgt!

ANNUAL LEAVE
Sesuat yang lebih ditunggu2 kehadirannya. Saking kreatifnya, karyawan bisa mengatur jadwal cutinya sesuai dengan keluarnya bonus sekaligus ketika pas kejadian proyek lagi ribet2nya. Hebat…hebat…

LONG WEEKEND
Gak ada kata yg tepat untuk mendeskripsikan kalimat ini kecuali : Anugerah Yang Terindah Yang Pernah Kumiliki…

Bangkok – Demonstran antipemerintah bentrok dengan tentara Thailand. Akibatnya, 4 orang warga sipil dan 4 orang tentara tewas. Satu di antara yang tewas adalah seorang wartawan media asing Reuters.

Wartawan tersebut bernama, Hiro Muramoto, wartawan asal Jepang yang bertugas di Thailand. Ia tewas ditembak di bagian dada dan sempat dilarikan ke rumah sakit Klang, Thailand.

“Saya sangat berduka atas kepergian rekan kami Hiro Muramoto di kerusuhan Bangkok,” kata Editor Reuters, David Schlesinger, Sabtu (10/4/2010).

“Profesi jurnalis bisa menjadi profesi yang berbahaya,” tambahnya.

Selain Muramoto, ada 521 orang yang terluka akibat kejadian itu. 64 Orang di antaranya adalah tentara dan polisi. Mereka bentrok di kawasan Phan Fah dan Jl Rajdumnoen, Bangkok.

Sebelumnya, para demonstran demonstran antipemerintah hari ini mengepung sebuah markas militer di Bangkok. Akibatnya, para tentara menggunakan water cannon untuk membubarkan massa pendukung mantan perdana menteri Thailand Thaksin Shinawatra itu.

Saat menginap di sebuah hostel di Kuala Lumpur baru-baru ini, saya membaca berita di koran terbitan Singapura –The Strait Times—yang memberitakan tentang beberapa kejadian tidak menyenangkan yang menimpa beberapa wisatawan asing yang hendak meninggalkan Thailand dari bandara internasional Suvarnabhumi – Bangkok akhir-akhir ini…

Diceritakan di sana bahwa ada beberapa kasus di mana beberapa wisatawan dituduh melakukan pencurian barang-barang duty free yang dijual di toko-toko yang ada di seputaran bandara. Mereka ada yang ditahan sampai 5 hari dan baru bisa keluar dengan uang tebusan sebesar U$11,000!!! Wah, bener-bener sebuah mimpi buruk deh kalau kita sampai berurusan dengan pihak berwajib atas tuduhan melakukan tindakan kriminal saat di luar negeri….

So, saran saya… sebaiknya berhati-hati deh saat berkunjung ke Thailand, terutama saat berada di kawasan pertokoan di bandara Suvarnabhumi – Bangkok.

Semoga info ini berguna…

Bahkan pemerintah Irlandia, Inggris dan juga beberapa negara Eropa lainnya telah mengeluarkan semacam ‘travel warning’ bagi warganya yang hendak berkunjung ke Thailand agar berhati-hati terhadap hal ini.

Mengenai benar atau tidaknya kejadian tersebut, saya sendiri tidak tahu pasti. Namun, kalau sampai berita seperti itu dimuat di koran sekelas The Strait Times Singapore, tentunya kebenarannya bisa dipertanggung jawabkan ya…

Forex trade came to exist when the ancient civilizations decided to trade amongst themselves with the help of a common medium known as currency. The first type of trade which took place was in form of the barter system which was soon replaced by trade in exchange of the prevalent currency of that epoch. As the civilization progressed, many new countries came into being and each had its own currency which was referred to by the other countries as foreign exchange. When trade between the various countries began to involve the exchange of currencies, it was referred to as foreign exchange trade or forex trade.

The forex trade market today is a global market which functions round the clock and travels westwards as the day progresses. This market does not have any particular trading platform and trading commences with the opening bell in Sydney, Australia, and moves westwards through various commercial cities around the world to close down with the closing bell in New York, USA, by which time the market in Sydney is once again ready to open. It is due to these flexible timings that this market is the largest in the world in terms of traders as well as its gross daily turnover.

Trading in the forex market is highly recommended as a home business due to the following reasons:

- The 24-hour functioning of this market enables the trader to set his own trade timings as per his convenience and hence acquire freedom from time-bound trading of the equity market or the rigid timings of a regular job.
- The forex market is equated as being a gold mine for traders since earning profits in this market is highly probable due to its predictable nature as well as its high liquidity.
- The initial investment required to commence trading in the forex market is very low and therefore anyone can afford to join this already enormous community of forex traders.

The second truth, and these are probably quite obvious to most people, is that in order to make money a business has to have some sort of product to sell or perform some type of service. In the FOREX world, nothing is being sold and no service is being performed, but rather money is being exchanged. You are making a profit based on the actual exchange value of one currency against another currency. This eliminates the need for employees, such as customer service personnel and human resource people if your company were to become that big. Also, because of the huge size of the FOREX market, trading nearly $1.5 trillion dollars a day, such things as social events, bad publicity, and changes in political climate will have no effect on your business. In fact, after studying FOREX, you will be able to see how these things will actually benefit your FOREX business.

The third and last classical business truth is that most people are prevented from starting a home-based business because they don’t feel good enough about themselves. They don’t feel like they’re educated enough. I read stories all of the time about people that feel passionate about something or they just pick something that they are relatively good at or have done before and start a business. They just take a chance. If you want to do it, step out. Take that first step. Don’t drop any huge sums of money, of course, but do a little research, make a small investment and start your adventure down to the road to FOREX trading. You don’t need a doctorite degree to get involved with FOREX trading, but after a couple of months of good study, it’s quite possible to generate a significant source of cash from FOREX trading.

Positive expectancy sounds like something a motivational speaker would talk about or a psychiatrist. In fact, there are some people that use the term for those reasons. This article is about using the term in the context of Forex trading strategies, STATISTICS, and MATH. One of the major advantages from using an automatic Forex trading system is built in discipline that maintains a high POSITIVE EXPECTANCY that can lead to large profits. Positive expectancy defined in its most simple form, is that on the average, there is a probability that you will make more money than you will lose.

If the Forex trader gets nothing else from this article the MOST IMPORTANT POINT that must be understood is that WITHOUT POSITIVE EXPECTANCY in any Forex trading system automatic or otherwise, there are no money management procedures or trading techniques that will prevent you from losing all your money.

Most traders confuse positive expectancy with the probability of winning. Forex traders and especially Forex system developers love to brag that their system “picks winners 97.3% of the time”, and fall for the easy but incorrect logic and “feeling” that a high percentage of wins means a high profit. Sadly, this is NOT TRUE! Winning 97.3% of the time will not generate Forex profits if the 2.7% of losing trades wipe out your account. Confusing win probability with positive expectancy is what ultimately leads to Trader’s Ruin.

Trader’s Ruin is the mathematical certainty that over time the trader will lose all his money to the market if he trades without positive expectancy. Many very successful traders and auto Forex trading systems have a win probability of about 40%, with a high positive expectancy that returns huge profits.

If an automatic currency trading program wins 9 out of 10 times (90% wins!), and the average win is $10 but the average loss is $100 – that system has a negative expectancy and will lose money!

If an automatic Forex currency trading system wins once every 20 trades (5% wins!), losing an average $5 each losing trade but makes an average $100 on each win, that system has positive expectancy and over the long run will make money.

Did that tie your brain in a knot? Let’s explain a little further.

To be able to say an automatic Forex trader, or any system, has positive expectancy means that on average the system will make more money than it loses. On any given trade, it may win or it may lose, but the average over time and many trades is profitable. This should include costs and slippage and be measured over an absolute minimum of 30 to 100 trades, preferably many more.

This analysis assumes the Forex trader and the Forex trading tool are properly capitalized and the trades are properly sized to reasonably ensure the system will survive the inevitable periods of losses.

“Properly capitalized” means you have enough money in your account that you can make properly sized trades and survive long enough for the average returns to grow your account. If the account is too small, it is much more likely a run of losses will wipe you out before you have time to generate profits.

“Properly sized” trades means that the average size of expected profit on any trade is large enough to cover expected average losses plus trading costs and still have positive expectancy.

“Exit loss” will be defined for this article as the amount the trade will be allowed to move against us before it is “stopped out” by our stop loss setting and we exit the trade. This applies to both winning and losing trades.

“Costs” in Forex trading are usually in the form of “bid/ask” spreads, Forex brokerage fees or commissions are usually small or non-existent. There are still real costs that figure into the expectancy of the system.

“Slippage” is defined as the difference between the price a trader expected to pay when a trade is ordered and the actual price paid. The Forex market is always moving and if the market moves against our trade, the time between our contract order and when it is executed in the market may allow the price to change. A good Forex automated trading system has an average known slippage value figured into the system also.

To make this easier to understand, let’s put some numbers to it. These are simplified examples to illustrate the concept and the numbers may or may not match real FX trading strategies.

If my automatic Forex trading system follows a set of rules that allows an exit loss of $10 before it is stopped out, and my costs are $10, and my “slippage” averages $5 then my average loss will be: $10 exit loss + $10 costs + $5 average slippage = $25 average loss per losing trade. These trades are generally trades that immediately move against the trader.

If the trader executes each trade at $1000/trade and if my Forex trading system has an average winning trade of $50 (which includes the $10 exit loss), after costs and slippage we have $50 -$10 -$5 = $35 profits.

Now all we need to figure out our expectancy is to know our probability of a winning trade. Let’s start with a system that has a 50% chance of winning. So this system has the same winning average over time as flipping a coin.

The Expectancy Equation

Pp = Probability of Profit
Ap = Average Profit
Pl = Probability of Loss
Al = Average loss

Expectancy = (Pp x Ap) – (Pl x Al)

In our first case:

Pp = 0.5
Ap = $35
Pl = 0.5
Al = $25

Expectancy = (0.5 X $35) – (0.5 X $25)

= ($17.5) – ($12.5) = $5

So this system trading at $1000 per trade has a positive expectancy of $5 per trade when traded over many trades. The profit of $5 is 0.5% of the $1000 that is at risk during the trade.

Now let’s examine how our Forex trading techniques, rules, and behavior can affect our profits. First let’s pretend we have experienced a run of losses and we are low on money because we are not properly capitalized. What happens if we lower the amount of money at risk and only trade $500 per trade? This cuts our profits in half but does not affect costs and slippage. An average winning trade is now $25, after costs and slippage we have $25 -$10 -$5 = $10 profits. This is a big hit to profits, but it is still a profit… right?

If we examine our expectancy our numbers look like this:

Pp = 0.5
Ap = $10
Pl = 0.5
Al = $25

Expectancy = (0.5 X $10) – (0.5 X $25)

= ($5) – ($12.5) = -$7.5 !!!

This system trading at $500 per trade can be expected to lose money on the average of $7.50 per trade.

NEGATIVE EXPECTANCY ! By trying to conserve money we have ensured that we will lose money! This illustrates the importance of having a properly capitalized account for the size of our trade, and the importance of watching the effect of costs and slippage. Trading many small trades can push a good Forex trading system into negative expectancy with costs and slippage.

Let’s now make a different assumption, let’s double our trade size and start our trading at $2000 a trade (assuming our account is properly capitalized to do this). An average winning trade is now $100, after costs and slippage we have $100 -$10 -$5 = $85 profits.

Pp = 0.5
Ap = $85
Pl = 0.5
Al = $25

Expectancy = (0.5 X $85) – (0.5 X $25)

= ($42.5) – ($12.5) = $30

We doubled the amount of capital at risk, but it has increased our net average profit per trade by SIX TIMES! The percentage gain is also increased to 1.5%, an increase of profit per dollar risked by THREE TIMES. This is a very good result.

Let’s examine one more case and double our trade amount again to $4000 a trade (assuming again our account is properly capitalized to do this). An average winning trade is now $200, we are assuming costs for this remain the same traded as one lot, after costs and slippage we have $200 -$10 -$5 = $185 profits.

Pp = 0.5
Ap = $185
Pl = 0.5
Al = $25

Expectancy = (0.5 X $185) – (0.5 X $25)

= ($92.5) – ($12.5) = $80

Another nice average profit per trade. We doubled the amount of capital at risk again, but this time it has only increased our net average profits by 2.67 times. The percentage gain is also increased to 2.0%, an increase of profit per dollar risked of only 1/3 of the previous increase. From this point on, increasing the size of our trade, assuming that fees and slippage stay the same, has only a small, gradually diminishing effect on our trade efficiency as it gets larger and larger. Gross and net profits will increase, but the average percent return on our capital at risk will stay about the same.

The examples above are simplified to make the arithmetic easier and to illustrate the concepts. Lot size, leverage, and many other factors complicate the equations in real world trading but the basic concepts remain the same. Without positive expectancy, the trader is assured of losing his money.

This demonstrates that the small Forex trader needs to carefully examine his trading techniques and exercise “iron willed discipline” in his trading to ensure that he can effectively “stay in the game”. Trying to do “on the job” Forex training while making small timid trades with a “too small” account is not a way to “increase or protect your money,” in fact it may be the sure way to Trader’s Ruin.

The joy of automated Forex trading systems and mechanical trading software is that it enforces trading discipline that keeps losses small, and lets winning positions run with built in positive expectancy. It is Forex made easy. There are websites that do online reviews of several automated systems that have the capability to do simulated Forex trading online, on a Forex demo account, so that the average trader can test them for 60 days with no risk and each has a 100% money back guarantee. Many offer suggestions for the best Forex broker compatible with their online Forex trading platform and offer full support for setting up your Forex demo account.

The beginning trader, just learning Forex trading, can learn a tremendous amount just from the running the demo accounts and can learn which is the best Forex system trading software for his or her goals. Rather than spend money on Forex training, a currency trading seminar, or trying to create your own FX trading strategies and implement them, the astute trader can let the experts do that and just test their work for profitable results. Then sit back and watch the Forex autotrading robots make money while you relax and rake in the profits.

The forex market is the world’s largest international currency trading market operating non-stop during the working week. Most forex trading is done by professionals such as bankers. Generally forex trading is done through a forex broker – but there is nothing to stop anyone trading currencies. Forex currency trading allows buyers and sellers to buy the currency they need for their business and sellers who have earned currency to exchange what they have for a more convenient currency. The world’s largest banks dominate forex and according to a survey in The Wall Street Journal Europe, the ten most active traders who are engaged in forex trading account for almost 73% of trading volume.

However, a sizeable proportion of the remainder of forex trading is speculative with traders building up an investment which they wish to liquidate at some stage for profit. While a currency may increase or decrease in value relative to a wide range of currencies, all forex trading transactions are based upon currency pairs. So, although the Euro may be ’strong’ against a basket of currencies, traders will be trading in just one currency pair and may simply concern themselves with the Euro/US Dollar ( EUR/USD) ratio. Changes in relative values of currencies may be gradual or triggered by specific events such as are unfolding at the time of writing this – the toxic debt crisis.

Because the markets for currencies are global, the volumes traded every day are vast. For the large corporate investors, the great benefits of trading on Forex are:

• Enormous liquidity – over $4 trillion per day, that’s $4,000,000,000. This means that there’s always someone ready to trade with you
• Every one of the world’s free currencies are traded – this means that you may trade the currency you want at any time
• Twenty four – hour trading during the 5-day working week
• Operations are global which mean that you can trade with any part of the world at any time

From the point of view of the smaller trader there’s lots of benefits too, such as:

• A rapidly-changing market – that’s one which is always changing and offering the chance to make money
• Very well developed mechanisms for controlling risk
• Ability to go long or short – this means that you can make money either in rising or falling markets
• Leverage trading – meaning that you can benefit from large-volume trading while having a relatively-low capital base
• Lots of options for zero-commission trading

How the forex Market Works

As forex is all about foreign exchange, all transactions are made up from a currency pair – say, for instance, the Euro and the US Dollar. The basic tool for trading forex is the exchange rate which is expressed as a ratio between the values of the two currencies such as EUR/USD = 1.4086. This value, which is referred to as the ‘forex rate’ means that, at that particular time, one Euro would be worth 1.4086 US Dollars. This ratio is always expressed to 4 decimal places which means that you could see a forex rate of EUR/USD = 1.4086 or EUR/USD = 1.4087 but never EUR/USD = 1.40865. The rightmost digit of this ratio is referred to as a ‘pip’. So, a change from EUR/USD = 1.4086 to EUR/USD = 1.4088 would be referred to as a change of 2 pips. One pip, therefore is the smallest unit of trade.

With the forex rate at EUR/USD = 1.4086, an investor purchasing 1000 Euros using dollars would pay $1,408.60. If the forex rate then changed to EUR/USD = 1.5020, the investor could sell their 1000 Euros for $1,502.00 and bank the $93.40 as profit. If this doesn’t seem to be large amount to you, you have to put the sum into context. With a rising or falling market, the forex rate does not simply change in a uniform way but oscillates and profits can be taken many times per day as a rate oscillates around a trend.

When you’re expecting the value EUR/USD to fall, you might trade the other way by selling Euros for dollars and buying then back when the forex rate has changed to your advantage.

Is forex Risky?

When you trade on forex as in any form of currency trading, you’re in the business of currency speculation and it is just that – speculation. This means that there is some risk involved in forex currency trading as in any business but you might and should, take steps to minimise this. You can always set a limit to the downside of any trade, that means to define the maximum loss that you are prepared to accept if the market goes against you – and it will on occasions.

The best insurance against losing your shirt on the forex market is to set out to understand what you’re doing totally. Search the internet for a good forex trading tutorial and study it in detail- a bit of good forex education can go a long way!. When there’s bits you don’t understand, look for a good forex trading forum and ask lots and lots of questions. Many of the people who habitually answer your queries on this will have a good forex trading blog and this will probably not only give you answers to your questions but also provide lots of links to good sites. Be vigilant, however, watch out for forex trading scams. Don’t be too quick to part with your money and investigate anything very well before you shell out any hard-earned!

The forex Trading Systems

While you may be right in being cautious about any forex trading system that’s advertised, there are some good ones around. Most of them either utilise forex charts and by means of these, identify forex trading signals which tell the trader when to buy or sell. These signals will be made up of a particular change in a forex rate or a trend and these will have been devised by a forex trader who has studied long-term trends in the market so as to identify valid signals when they occur. Many of the systems will use forex trading software which identifies such signals from data inputs which are gathered automatically from market information sources. Some utilise automated forex trading software which can trigger trades automatically when the signals tell it to do so. If these sound too good to be true to you, look around for online forex trading systems which will allow you undertake some dummy trading to test them out. by doing this you can get some forex trading training by giving them a spin before you put real money on the table.

How Much do you Need to Start off with?

This is a bit of a ‘How long is a piece of string?’ question but there are ways for to be beginner to dip a toe into the water without needing a fortune to start with. The minimum trading size for most trades on forex is usually 100,000 units of any currency and this volume is referred to as a standard “lot”. However, there are many firms which offer the facility to purchase in dramatically-smaller lots than this and a bit of internet searching will soon locate these. There’s many adverts quoting only a couple of hundred dollars to get going! You will often see the term acciones trading forex and this is just a general term which covers the small guy trading forex. Small-scale trading facilities such as these are often called as forex mini trading.

Where do You Start?

The single most obvious answer is of course – on the internet! Online forex trading gives you direct access to the forex market and there’s lots and lots of companies out there who are in business just to deal with you online. Be vigilant, do spend the time to get some good forex trading education, again this can be provided online and set up your dummy account to trade before you attempt to go live. If you take care and take your time, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be successful in forex trading so, have patience and stick at it!

This means that foreign exchange is not delivered to a person who actually buys like stock trading, FOREX trading also has day traders that purchase and sell foreign exchange same day. Thus, FOREX is not a get-rich-quick scheme as many people thought which complicates the real concept of online Forex trading.

Unlike stocks and futures that trade through exchanges, Forex trading is done through market makers that include major banks as well as small to large brokerage firms located around the world who collectively make a market on 24 hours – 5 days basis. The Forex market is always “open” and is the largest financial network in the world (daily average turnover of trillions of dollars).

Forex trading involves trading currency pairs such as the EUR/USD pair (Eurodollar/US dollar pair) where a buyer of this pair would actually be buying the Eurodollar and simultaneously selling short the US dollar.

Here’s the deal: Just like any other market, most “traders” are losing when trading Forex. And the reasons for their failure are mainly because some lack good trading methods, sound money and risk management principles and indiscipline trading attitude. In most cases, it could be wrong mindset and motive towards the market. Some don’t even understand the trend of the market, of which the trend plays a vital role in the life of any trader, as it is simply says that “the trend is your friend”.

Moreover, many have been mislead by dishonest individuals or questionable brokers promising outwardly overnight riches and hidden policies.

Forex is still a little like the “wild west”, so there’s naturally a lot of confusion and misinformation out there but I’m here to cover many tactics and strategies used by successful Forex traders all over the world. Unfortunately, only few Forex traders are actually aware of this information.

Forex trading is all about regulation, willpower and determination. Leveraging your strength could be extravagant by organizing the appropriate Forex trading strategy. You may find hundreds and thousands of Forex trading strategies out there. All Forex trading strategies use a variety of indicators and combinations. These indicators and studies are just calculating support and resistance and trend in the Forex trading market.

What you are about to read is more valuable to you than what you will find in many trading courses or seminars that you’d have to pay for. Anyway, I don’t believe in sugarcoating anything or giving you false hopes of success. There are enough swindlers doing that already. I want to give you the facts, like ‘em or not, so you’re empowered to take action and make positive decisions on how to succeed in the Forex markets.

There’s nothing magical about the Forex markets, because all markets are ultimately driven by human psychology – fear and greed – and supply and demand. Sure, every market has its own peculiarities, but if you understand how the basic drivers of human emotions work, you can potentially succeed big in Forex market, because the market controls 95% of live trader’s emotions. Some traders think it’s a “get rich quick” trading the popular Forex markets.

There are many advantages of Forex trading over other types of financial instrument trading like bonds, stocks, commodities etc. But it does not mean that there are no risks involved in the Forex trading. Of course there are risks associated with Forex trading. Therefore, someone needs to understand all the terms related to Foreign Exchange carefully. There are many online sources as well as offline sources that provide hints on trading of Forex. These hints are basically the SECRETS.

As I said above, the foreign exchange trading is considered as one of the most profitable and attractive opportunities for investment as any person can easily do at home or office and from any part of the world. For succeeding the Forex trading, a person is not required to do any online promotion, marketing etc. The only requirement in the Forex trading is the account that a person is required to open with reliable and registered brokers, a computer system and fast internet connection.

Now, you have to be careful when opening a Forex account with any broker because some could be SCAM. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in US has jurisdiction over all Futures and Forex activity. When trading in the foreign exchange markets, individuals should only trade with a CFTC registered entity that is also a member of the National Futures Association (NFA) and is regulated by the CFTC. For non-US broker/ bank entities, be sure that the broker or bank is registered with that country’s appropriate regulatory bodies.

The Forex account could be opened with any amount between $300 (mini) and $2000 (standard). After opening the account, a person is required to learn how the Forex market works, demo trade and after a while go live trading. Moreover, there are some secrets that have to be followed.

A person can also apply all the secrets when demo trading and can see if the secrets really work. It could be said without any doubt that if someone can apply all the secrets in right way, he/she can easily gain good money by way of Forex trading.

All successful traders have Forex trading strategies that they follow to make profitable trades. These Forex trading strategies are generally based on a strategy that allows them to find good trades. And the strategy is based on some form of market analysis. Successful traders need some ways to interpret and even predict the movements of the market.

There are two basic approaches to analyzing the movements of the Forex market. These are Technical Analysis and Fundamental Analysis. However, technical analysis is much more likely to be used by traders. Still, it’s good to have an understanding of both types of analysis, so that you can decide which type would work best for your Forex trading strategies.

There has been misconception about the Forex market because there are different types of traders and advert out there full of exaggerations that makes the business unreal to so many people and that is why I am here to show you the SECRETS in Forex Trading.

What is traded on the Forex market? The answer is money. Forex trading is where the currency of one nation is traded for that of another. Therefore, Forex trading is always traded in pairs and the most commonly traded currency pairs are traded against the US Dollar (USD). They are called ‘the Majors’. The major currency pairs are the Euro Dollar (EUR/USD); the British Pound (GBP/USD); the Japanese Yen (USD/JPY); and the Swiss Franc (USD/CHF). The notable ‘commodity’ currency pairs that traded are the Canadian Dollar (USD/CAD) and the Australian Dollar AUD/USD. Because there is no central exchange for the Forex market, these pairs and their crosses are traded over the telephone and online through a global network of banks, multinational corporations, importers and exporters, brokers and currency traders. But if you really want to make it big in the Forex market, I will strongly advise that as a “beginner” in the business. Kindly get acquainted with one or two major currency pairs. Study them very well and make sure you understand their volatility period.

And to further simplify Forex trading, you could easily limit your trading to the two most liquid and widely traded pairs, the EUR/USD and the GBP/USD. This really starts to reduce demands on your time for trading activities without giving up good profit potential.

Traditionally, currency trading has been a ‘professionals only’ market available exclusively to banks and large institutions, however, because of the invention of the new E-economy, online Forex trading firms are now able to offer trading accounts to ‘retail’ traders like you and I. Now almost anyone with a computer and an Internet connection can trade currencies just like the world’s largest banks do.

Forex operates mainly on the concept of “free-floating” currencies; this can be explained best as currencies that are not backed by specific materials such as gold or silver. Prior to 1971, a market such as Forex would not work because of the international “Bretton Woods” agreement. This agreement stipulated that all involved economies would strive to hold the value of their currencies close to the value of the US dollar, which in turn was held to the value of gold. In 1971, the Bretton Woods agreement was abandoned. The United States had run a huge deficit during the Vietnam Conflict, and began printing out more paper currency than they could back with gold, resulting in a relatively high level of inflation. By 1976, every major currency worldwide had left the system established under the Bretton Woods agreement, and had changed into a free-floating system of currency. This free-floating system meant that each country’s currency could have vastly different values that fluctuated based on how the country’s economy was faring at that time.

Because each currency fluctuates independently, it is possible to make a profit from the changes in currency value. For example, 1 Euro used to be worth about 0.86 US dollars. Shortly thereafter, 1 Euro was worth about 1.08 US dollars. Those who bought Euros at 86 cents and sold them at 1.08 US dollars were able to make 22 cents profit off of each Euro – this could equate to hundreds of millions in profits for those who were deeply rooted in the Euro. Everything in the Forex market is hanging on the exchange rate of various currencies. Sadly, very few people realize that the exchange rates they see on the news and read about in the newspapers each day could possibly be able to work towards profits on their behalf, even if they were just to make a small investment.
The Euro and the US dollar are probably the two most well-known currencies that are used in the Forex market, and therefore they are two of the most widely traded in the Forex market. In addition to the two “kings of currency”, there are a few other currencies that have fairly strong reputation for Forex trading. The Australian Dollar, the Japanese Yen, the Canadian Dollar, and the New Zealand Dollar are all staple currencies used by established Forex traders. However, it is important to note that on most Forex services, you won’t see the full name of a currency written out. Each currency has it’s own symbol, just as companies involved in the stock market have their own symbol based off of the name of their company. Some of the important currency symbols to know are:

USD – United States Dollar

EUR – The Euro

CAD – The Canadian Dollar

AUD – The Australian Dollar

JPY – The Japanese Yen

NZD – The New Zealand Dollar

Although the symbols may be confusing at first, you’ll get used to them after a while. Remember that each currency’s symbol is logically formed from the name of the currency, usually in some form of acronym. With a little practice, you’ll be able to determine most currency codes without even having to look them up.

Some of the richest people in the world have Forex as a large part of their investment portfolio. Warren Buffet, the world’s richest man, has over $20 Billion invested in various currencies on the Forex market. His revenue portfolio usually includes well over one-hundred million dollars in profit from Forex trades each quartile. George Soros is another big name in the field of currency trading – it is believed that he made over $1 billion in profit from a single day of trading in 1992! Although those types of trades are very rare, he was still able to amass over $7 Billion from three decades of trading on the Forex market. The strategy of George Soros also goes to show that you don’t have to be too risky to make profits on Forex – his conservative strategy involves withdrawing large portions of his profits from the market, even when the trend of his various investments seems to still be correlating upward.

Thankfully, you don’t have to invest millions of dollars to make a profit on Forex. Many people have recorded their success with initial investments of anywhere from $10,000 to as little as $100 for an initial investment. This wide range of economic requirements makes Forex an attractive venue for trading among all classes, from those well entrenched in the lower rungs of the middle class, all the way up to the richest people alive on the planet. For those on the lower end of the spectrum, access to the Forex market is a fairly recent innovation. Within the past decades, various companies began offering a system that is friendlier to the average person, allowing the smaller initial investments and greater flexibility that is seen in the market today. Now, no matter what economic position you are in, you can get started. Although it’s possible to jump right in and start investing, it’s best that you make sure you have a better understanding of the ins and outs of Forex trading before you get started.

The world of Forex is one that can be both profitable and exciting, but in order to make Forex work for you it is important that you know how the system works. Like most lucrative activities, to become a Forex pro you need a lot of practice. There are many websites that offer exactly this, the simulated practice of Foreign Exchange.

The services provided by online practice sites differ from site to site, so it is always a good idea to make sure you know all of the details of the site you are about to use. For example, there are several online brokers who will offer a practice account for a period of several weeks, then terminate it and start you on a live account, which means you may end up using your own money before you are ready to. It’s always a good idea to find a site that offers an unlimited practice account. Having a practice account allows you to learn the ways of the trade with no risk at all.
Continuing to use the practice account while you use a live account is also a beneficial tool for even the most seasoned Forex traders. The use of a no risk practice account enables you to try out new trading strategies and tread into unknown waters. If the strategy works, you know that you can now implement that strategy into your real account. If the strategy fails, you know to refrain from the use of that strategy without the loss of any actual money.

Of course, simply using a no risk account won’t get you anywhere. In order to make money with Forex, you need to put your own money in. Obviously, it would be ridiculous to travel to other countries to purchase and sell different currencies, so there are many websites that you can use to digitally trade your money. Almost all online brokerage systems have different features to offer you so you have to do the research to find out which site you wish to create an account with.
All brokers will require specific information of you to create your account. The information they will need from you includes information required to communicate with you, including your name, mailing address, telephone number, e-mail address. They also require information needed to identify who you are, including your Social Security number, Passport number or Tax Identification number. It is required by law that they have this information, so they can prevent fraudulent trading. They may also collect various personal information when you open an account, including gender, birth date, occupation, and employment status.

Now that you have practiced trading currency and set up your live account, it is time to truly enter this profitable yet risky world. To make money with Forex, you do need to have money to begin with. It is possible to trade with very small amounts of money, but this will also lead to very small profits. As is with many other exchange systems, high payouts will only come with high risks. You can’t expect to start getting millions as soon as you put money in to the market, but you can’t expect to make any money at all if you don’t put in at least a 3-digit value.

As most Forex brokers will warn you, you can loose money in the foreign exchange market, so don’t put your life savings into any one trade. Always trade with money that you’d be able to survive without. This will ensure that if you get a bad trade and loose a lot of money, you wont end up on the streets, and you’ll be able to make a comeback in the future.

So how does trading currency work? Logically, trades always come in pairs. For example, a common trade would be the United States Dollar to the Japanese Yen. This is expressed as USD/JPY. The way to quote a trade is kind of tricky, but with practice it becomes as natural as reading your native language. In a Forex quote, the first currency in the list (IE: USD in USD/JPY) is the base currency, and in the quote the base is always one. This means if (hypothetically of course) One USD was worth Two JPY, that the quote would be expressed as 1/2.

When trading in Forex, we use pips. Pip is an acronym for “percentage in point”. A pip a certain decimal place in a number compared to the same decimal place in another number. Using pips, we track the gains and losses of a currencies value compared to another’s. Let’s take a look at an example. Say a value is written as 1.0001/1.0004. This would indicate a 3-pip spread, because of the 3 number difference in the fourth decimal place. Almost all currency pairs go to the fourth decimal place. The only currency pair that doesn’t is that of the USD/JPY, and it goes to the second decimal place. For example, a USD/JPY quote with a 3-point spread would look like this: 1.01/1.04.

A very common aspect to the foreign exchange is leverage. Leverage trading, also known as trading on margin, is a way to amplify the amount of money you are making. When you use leverage trading, you borrow a certain amount of money from your broker and use that to make your transaction. This allows you to trade with more money then you are actually spending, meaning you can make higher profits than you would normally be able to make.

There are risks associated with leverage trading. If you increase the amount of money you are using, if a trade goes bad, then you’ll loose more money than you’d usually loose. The risks are worth it though, because a big win on margin means a huge payout. As mentioned before, it is definitely a wise idea to try out leverage trading on your practice account before you use it excessively on your live account, so you can get a feel for the way it works.

Now that you’re an expert on the way Forex trading works there are some things about foreign exchange that you should know. Forex is just like the stock market in that there are many benefits and risks, but if you are going to invest your time and personal money into this system, you should be fully aware of all of the factors that may change your decision to invest in the currency market.

Generally speaking, Forex is a difficult subject to opinionate on, because of the different factors that may alter the currency over the years. “Supply and demand” is a major issue affecting the Forex organization, because the world is in constant variable to change, one significant product being oil. Usually the currency of all the nations around the globe is described as a huge “melting pot”, because of the fact that all of the interchanging controversy, political affairs, national disputes, and possibly war conflicts, all mixed together as a whole, altering the nature of Forex every second! Although problems such as supply and demand, and the whole “melting pot” issue, there are a numerous amount of pros to Forex; one being benefited profit from long term stock. Because of the positive aspects of Forex, the percentage of the use of electronic trading in the FX market (shortened from Foreign Exchange) increased by 7% from 2005 to 2008. Despite the controversial realm of Forex, it is still recognized today by many, and is still popular amongst many of the nations in the world.

Of all the organizations that recognize Forex, most of them practice fiscal policy, and monetary policy. Both policies are dependent on the nation’s outlook on economics, and their standards set. The government’s budget deficits, or surpluses against the country, is widely affected by the country’s economic status of trade, and may critically inflict the nation’s currency. Another factor for the nation’s deficit spending is what the nation already has, in terms of necessities for the citizens, and the society. The more the country already has, prior to trade, the greater the budget for other demands from the people, such as technology, innovations in existing products, etc. Although a country may have an abundance in necessities, greed may hinder the nation’s economic status, by changing government official’s wants, to want “unnecessary” products, therefore ruining or “wasting” the country’s money. This negative trend may lead to the country’s doom, and hurt the Forex’s reputation for positive change. There are some countries which hold more of a product (such as oil stated above), the Middle East dominating that sector in the circle of trade; Since the Middle East suffers much poverty, as a result of deficit spending, and lack of other resources, they demand for a higher price in oil, to maintain their economic status. This process is known as the “flights to quality”, and is practiced by many countries, wanting to survive in the trading network that exists today. Interest rate, and leveraged financing, is due to the inflations that occur in many parts of the world from one point to another. Inflations wear down purchasing abilities, causing the currency to fall with it. In some cases, a country may observe the trends that it takes, and beforehand, take action to avoid any mishaps that had been experienced before. Sometimes, the country will buy more of a product, or sell more of a product, otherwise known as “overbought” or “oversold”. This may aid in the country’s future, or devastatingly hurt the country, because of lack of thought, as a result of fraud logic.
“What started out as a market for professionals is now attracting traders from all over the world and of all experience levels” is part of a letter of the chairman of Forex, and it is completely true. There is even a 30-day trial for Forex online at http://www.forex.com/forex_demo_account.html if anyone interested in Forex wants to learn more about the company. Although affected by leveraged financing, interest rate, and causing an increase or decrease in exchange rate risks, Forex can be a great way for quick profits and integrated economy for the country. In investing in stocks that are most likely to be successful for a long period of time, and researching these companies for more reference and background that you need to know, Forex can aid in these fields. In the Forex market of different levels of access, the inter-bank market composed of the largest investment bank firm, which contains “spreads”, which are divided into bid, and ask prices. Large amounts of transactions, with large amounts traded, and requesting a small amount of difference is known as a better spread, which is preferred by many investors.

In comparison to the Stock Market, the Forex organization is just as stable, and safe, if the users on it are aware, and decently knowledgeable about the topic. The Stock Market Crash in 1929 was a result of lack of thinking, because of the extremely cheap shares, replacing the shares originally costing thousands of dollars. When the Stock Market crashed, and the New Deal was proposed by Franklin D. Roosevelt, leveraged finance was present, and utilized to stabilize the economy at the time. The United States was extremely wealthy and prosperous in the 20s (prior to the depression), and had not realized what could happen as a result of carelessness in spending. This is a result of deficit spending, and how it could damage a society, in less than a decade! When joining Forex, keep in mind that with the possible positive outcomes, and negative ones, there are obstacles that must be faced to become successful.

As a result of many catastrophic events, such as the Great Depression that occurred in the United States, people investing in the Forex organization keep in mind of the dangers, and rewards that may come upon them in a certain point in time. With more work and consideration outputted by a person, or organization in the Forex program will there be more signs of prosperity as a result. In relation to individuals such as Warren Buffet and George Soros, they have become successful through experience, and determination through many programs, and research, for security purposes. Reserving some of the most riches people in the world, to others that are just test driving it to discover its potential for them, Forex is a broad topic that experiences different people everyday. Forex may not help everyone that invests in it, but if enough outputted effort is amplified in attempts to better the economy, it is most definitely something that any person should experience first-hand.

Bayi Bertahan Hidup Tiga Hari Dengan Peluru Bersarang di Dada

Bayi Bertahan Hidup Tiga Hari Dengan Peluru Bersarang di Dada

Ajaib! Seorang bayi berhasil selamat setelah ditembak di dadanya. Padahal selama tiga hari peluru bersarang di dadanya.

Bayi perempuan berusia 7 bulan itu ditembak oleh orangtuanya. Setelah menembak, ayah dan ibu sang bayi pun bunuh diri. Mereka juga membunuh kakak laki-laki bayi tersebut.

Peristiwa ini terjadi di Kota Goya, Argentina seperti diberitakan Latin American Herald Tribune dan dilansir harian Telegraph, Rabu (3/3/2010).

Pasangan suami istri Argentina, Francisco Lotero (56) dan Miriam Coletti (23) meninggalkan pesan sebelum bunuh diri. Dalam pesan tersebut, mereka menuliskan bahwa mereka bunuh diri dan membunuh anak-anak mereka karena takut akan dampak pemanasan global.

Polisi setempat mendatangi rumah keluarga tersebut setelah para tetangga melaporkan adanya bau busuk dari rumah mereka. Di dalam rumah tersebut, polisi menemukan Lotero dan Coletti telah meninggal dunia. Keduanya tewas dengan luka tembak di dada. Putra mereka yang berumur dua tahun juga tewas dengan luka tembak di punggung.

Sedangkan sang bayi perempuan ditemukan polisi dalam kondisi berlumuran darah karena luka tembak di dada. Dia masih hidup dan dilarikan ke rumah sakit. Kondisinya saat ini mulai membaik.
