Questions on FXMoneyMap in General

 

 

What training do you offer?

The Grids are a management tool and therefore there are many ways to trade it, we offer daily Live Webinar where you'll learn
the different strategies in the Live Market, then you'll develop
your own strategy that suits your trading style best...

   Top      

 

 

Can I lease for a month or demo for a week?

Even the most intelligent people I know cannot create their own strategy in a month, this is a professional market and therefore you need to find out what style of trading suits you the best; once you do this you can start refining a strategy.

 Top      

 

 

How accurate are the GRID?

You must first understand that the Grid is a management tool...
There are many ways to trade it, and combine it with the right
strategy and proper stop/loss & take/profit, you can achieve 90%
accuracy

 Top      

 

 

Can you guarantee that I will make money?

There is no guarantee, and if any Forex software/product/guru
guarantees that, I suggest that you RUN as far away as possible
from them. In this professional market, it takes discipline,
time, and effort. It's like supplying you with a car, you could
go out and crash it straightaway or take our lessons, learn what
to do, and drive safely without crashing and burning. It's your
responsibility to drive your car.

 Top      

 

 

I can get your Grid for free / There is a Free Grid version out there?

Both Yes and No. You CAN get an imitated version of just one currency pair for free, but that version lacks proper BUY/SELL Lane, Fibonacci Wave Analysis, and the calculation on Dynamic Fibonacci Roadblocks are all different from the real version.  Also the free version does not come with Andy Shearman and his Live market analysis which he shares with you everyday. Our Fibonacci Grids will show you what is happening in the entire market as one Grid takes up a very small portion of the screen, and you can learn to see the ENTIRE MARKET in just one glance.

 Top      

 

 

How long will it take me to learn?

Everybody is different.  Firstly you have to learn the basics and you do this by coming into our daily Live sessions with either JH or Andy Shearman. Then once you have got a handle of the Grids and the trading levels you will have built up your confidence at this stage where you'll determine what kind of trader you are going to be and only then do you start developing your own strategy with our assistance. This is a professional market and takes time and effort on your part to learn and become disciplined in your actions. We never know how long this is going to take and that’s why we offer a minimum of 3 months lease program.

 Top      

 

 

How do I know that your company is not going to go bust in a few month and I will lose my money?

We have a 10 year lease on our Malibu trading room so we don’t expect that to happen, but if for some reason it did then software has been set-up from a different company so that you will keep getting the feed and support, upgrades etc.

Trader House Global (LTD) in UK has been established for more than 7 years.  During the last 7 years, we have sold thousands of copies of FX MoneyMap and we have plans to expand to other parts of the world.  We have a solid financial background and we are currently debt-free.

What is the success ratio?

With each trader it is different, it solely depends on your trading strategy and style.

With over 95% of retail traders who end up failing at trading the Forex Market, we are proud to say that everyone that follows our trading plan, attends our daily webinars, and puts in effort into learning, has been successful in the past, with few minor exception due to family or personal issues.

Remember, Andy has over 26 years of experience in Forex Trading at a level that there is just very little comparison. He understands the market, knows how to beat it, and could teach you to do the same.  All you need is to put in your time and effort.

How can I contact you?

You can contact us via Telephone, Email, and Live Support Chat.  For more information on contacting us, visit our contact page.

How much money do I need to start a trading account?

You can open a trading account with $2,000 so you can trade 1 standard lot but at the start the most important aspect is to learn and develop a strategy as that is the hard part…

Once you have done this and you can consistently make pips/points the fun part is choosing a broker and funding the account. Trading this market should not be rushed you have to take the time and effort to develop the skills to trade. We are here to help you with that…

  Top      

 

 

Do we have to use your Broker?
 
No, you can use any broker you like.  However, we are in the process of negotiating with several brokers and we'll offer several options in the near future.

  Top      

 

 

Where do you get your data feed?

Our data feed is provided by Gain Capital, which is one of the biggest and oldest FCMs in the industry.  We have developed a solid relationship during the last seven years and Gain Capital is known for its data feed reliability even during important economic  news release time.

  Top      

 

 

What are the green(buy) and the red(sell) buttons at the bottom of the Grids?

We have developed an interface allowing people to trade directly on the Grid.  At the moment, this function is still being developed and only demo accounts are currently functioning.  Once its fully developed, we'll offer several brokers to choose from to trade on the Grid Live.

Questions on How-To Use FXMoneyMap

 

 

What does the FXMoneyMap offer me?

• The ability to see the key resistance and support levels across different time frames simultaneously.
• Instant analysis of 14 currency pairs.
• The opportunity to trade currency pairs that you might never otherwise have considered.
• The ability to gauge the likely extent of price movement in the immediacy.

 Top      

 

 

What do the different shaded regions on the charts signify?

Everything about the FXMoneyMap is based around Fibonnacci. The changes of shading indicate dynamic Fibonnacci levels.

 Top      

 

 

What are these levels?

They are projected levels which can be seen as support or resistance levels depending upon the position and movement of the market price.

 Top      

 

 

What are the colored lines on the charts?

Again they are Fibonnacci based and can be seen as short term, medium term and longer term momentum lines in the appropriate time frame.

 Top      

 

 

What do the green and red boxes on the grids represent?

In each time frame the two boxes give the position of the green and burgundy (shorter term) momentum lines on the corresponding time frame chart.
If the boxes are below the amber market price line they will be green and red if above the amber price line.

 Top      

 

 

What is the significance of the green or red boxes?

If the boxes are turning green then support is growing for ‘buy’ or ‘long’ trades. Boxes turning red would signify that ‘sell’ or ‘short’ trades sentiment is increasing.

 Top      

 

 

What do the green and red lines on the grids represent?

They indicate that in that particular time frame there is a gap of at least 10 pips …green if in a long trade and red if in a short trade…before hitting the next level in that time frame.

 Top      

 

 

Why does there only appear to be one green or red box in a timeframe at times?

When the green and burgundy lines on the chart are at the same price the boxes will be coincident. (If they coincide with the market price as well you will only see an amber box.)

 Top      

 

 

What are the best times to trade?

Whilst you can find good trading opportunities at any time the London Open….circa 7.00am UK time…is usually the best time to trade the Forex markets ( London does more Forex business than all the other markets put together). After that the New York Open often provides good trading opportunities.

 Top      

 

 

Are the any times when I should not trade?

Certainly as a beginner you should not trade into, or through, data releases and it is also best to avoid times when the likes of Trichet and Bernanke are speaking.

 Top      

 

 

Why should I not trade at certain times?

The release of data such as …Non-Farm Payroll….Confidence figures…Interest rate decisions…can be very unpredictable and indeed often contradict the prior to release consensus figure for that item. At times of data release you might find that your broker widens the spread on their rates or they do not guarantee your stop loss.
Speeches by leading Finance Ministers can also lead to unexpected announcements that can move the markets instantly thereby not giving you the chance to exit a trade quick enough to avoid a loss.

 Top      

 

 

What is the function of the Setup meter?

Even with a three or four screen display it is impossible to try and keep your eye on even a handful of currency pairs. The Setup Meter is designed to alert you if certain pre-programmed conditions are met and is consequently suggesting that you look at that currency pair…it does not mean you would necessarily trade immediately…your trading conditions have to be met before you put on a trade.

 Top      

 

 

When can I start to trade a live account?

If you have traded the Forex markets before then as soon as you are familiar with the FX Money Map package trading live should be no problem.
If, however, you are a beginner you should only be trading with a demo account initially. Switching to a live account will always be a personal decision and it should only take place when you are happy with your trading strategy and are consistently making a ‘profit’ on your demo account.

General Forex Section

 

 

What exactly is Forex?

Forex is an acronym for FOReign EXchange and is the worldwide currency inter-bank or inter-dealer market that uses a floating exchange rate system. Most people have little knowledge of Forex. Yet, it is the world's largest financial market with an estimated daily average of more than $1.5 to $2 TRILLION. Some estimate that it would take the New York Stock Exchange about 2-3 months of trading to equal one day in Forex!

   Top      

 

 

How fair is the Forex market?

The Forex market is so large and is composed of so many participants that no one player, not even a large government, can completely control the long-term direction of the market. So, many experts have called Forex the “most level playing field” on earth.

   Top      

 

 

Where is the central location of the Forex market?

The word market is a bit misleading in describing Forex trading because for most currency instruments there is NO central location where trading takes place. The bulk of Forex trading is between a few hundred large banks that process transactions for large companies and governments. These institutions continually provide exchange rates for each other and the broader market. The most recent quotation from one of these banks is considered the market's current pricing for that currency. Trading occurs over the internet, by telephone and through computer terminals at hundreds of locations around the globe. When does Forex trading occur? The first session, which is the Tokyo Session, begins each week on Monday morning in the Asia-Pacific region which is Sunday evening in the Americas. Trading continues non-stop moving into the London Session and on to the New York Session until all markets close on Friday afternoon.

  Top     

 

 

What are the primary currencies traded in Forex?

For most online brokers, there are four main currency pairs that are heavily traded and that offer almost immediate liquidity: Euro / US Dollar US Dollar / Japanese Yen British Pound / US Dollar US Dollar / Swiss Franc.

   Top      

 

 

How often does a person have to trade?

The beauty of self-trading Forex is that a person can trade as occasional or often as they want. They can learn to trade longer-term strategies that may require checking the market as little as once or twice a week. Or, they can learn to trade shorter-term methods that may require watching the market a few hours a day.

  Top     

 

 

How much money does it take to open a real money trading account?

A new student should first practice with a free demo-trading account where “pretend” money is used. When they feel ready to trade with real money, a “mini” account can be opened with as little as $1000 USD.

 

  Top      

 

 

Why is Forex so popular?

Forex trading is attractive because it offers unparalleled freedoms. A Forex trader can live almost anywhere as long as he/she is within reach of the internet. A Forex trader can work from home or office, and in some cases, even trade while traveling! A Forex trader can usually choose his/her own hours to work since the global foreign exchange market is open 24-hours a day. A Forex trader avoids many common headaches associated with running a business because there is NO inventory, NO shipping, NO billing, NO collections, NO employees, NO commuting and NO dress code.

Most Asked Questions for Andy Shearman

 

 

If your system is so good, why are you selling it?  Or why don't you just focus on making money from your own system than to share with others?

This is a very good question, and I am sure it's a question that comes up very frequently.  Unlike what other mentors or gurus who would tell you that "it's time to give back" or "I make so much money that I honestly don't care", or "I'm a great person so I am sharing this with you"...  You have to understand that Forex is and always has been a risky business.  Of course I could just focus on trading alone and make a good living doing so, but there is always a HIGH risk factor involved.  As a bank trader, you'd always want to evaluate your risk-to-reward ratio, and my decision was to share my system and trade it at the same time.  In addition to the fact of the satisfaction of seeing success from my business, which I have labored over seven years building it from ground up, I have been blessed to be friends with some of the nicest people whose lives have been changed forever by my system.

   Top      

 

 

Won't your system stop working if you share it with too many people?

Quite the contrary, if EVERYONE trades the Forex using FXMONEYMAP, it would just become more accurate.  People would collectively enter the market together, and exit the market under the same conditions. 

But since FXMoneyMap is based on Fibonacci numbers, or natural movements of currency pairs, even if there are only a limited number of people using it, it is still extremely accurate.  That is why the Forex Market is known as the "Fairest" of all trading markets, not one person, one entity, one Bank, even one Country can manipulate a currency pair for long periods of time.  It will always come back to its natural rhythm.
