The technology evolution will continue to amaze me – as 20 years ago we wouldn’t of dreamed of being able to have direct access to the markets like the Banks and Financial Insitutions did, yet now I can place a trade and watch the progress from anywhere in the world that has mobile internet coverage.

Provided your phone has access to the internet and the correct software on the phone you can execute your trades LIVE within seconds of receiving the LTG GoldRock Trade Text Alert. This new technology allows our traders to log directly into their Forex trading account to place, modify, and monitor trades, just as you would from your home computer. LTG GoldRock recommends using Mobile Trading as part of an overall trading plan which includes the use of a computer. Although Mobile Trading gives you the flexibility to action trades on the go, we encourage all our traders to also spend time online in the Trading Room and Learning Center.

1. What type of phone do I need?

A. To trade remotely using the MetaTrader4 Mobile (our preferred software) you will need a mobile/cell phone that supports Windows Mobile 6.0 software or higher. To trade via your IPhone you will need to use the Forex On The Go Application available from your ITunes Store.

Blackberry does not support Windows Mobile.

2. How much download per month will I use on my phone?

A. Your download will vary depending on your personal usage and how often and long you are connected to the internet. Many providers allow you to monitor your usage.

3. I already have a Windows based phone and plan. What do I do?

A. Ensure the Windows Mobile software on your phone is 6.0 or higher. You will need to check with your current provider to ensure you have internet access and the speed they can offer you is acceptable. Up to 3 Mbps is a recommendation. Speed will vary from providers so please ensure you are using a major provider. If sufficient speed is obtainable with your existing provider and you have a suitable data plan.

 For example, if you earn $20 per hour and work 8 hours a day your income is $160 per day.

 If your boss offered to double your hourly pay because you are doing a great job, but then said s/he could only offer you a maximum of 4 hours per day. Logic says this would make you extremely happy-Correct!

 Why is this so?

 The answer is obvious; now you have something you did not have before besides money!  Now, you have something equally valuable to everyone, TIME.

 Let’s assume s/he offered you even more, $80 per hour but cut your hours down again to only 2per day. I would suggest that you would be even happier. Again for the same reason above, now you have even more time!

 So the question is- are you better off working an 8 hour day or a 2 hour day? The answer is obvious and almost ridiculously simple.

 However, as we progress in this exercise, there is an interesting psychology at play. That is, the higher the hourly rate goes in our exercise above and the lower the amount of hours worked, the more cynical we are likely to become in believing that this is possible for 2 reasons:

1.     You will at some point if we keep going, stop believing that because you were earning $20 per hour (or whatever your current base hourly rate is) that you can achieve, or are worth, 2, 4, 6, 16 or 64 times this amount on an hourly basis. 

2.     You will stop believing there are opportunities to make the same daily income that you earn now by doing 2,4,8,16 or 64 times less work to achieve the same outcome.

 Be honest with yourself right now and check in with your belief system regarding this aspect of your life.

 If you are feeling cynical and saying to yourself, ‘there’s got to be a catch or this is all very well in theory’, then you are not alone. Millions of others feel the same way. I know as I used to be one of them.

 The psychology I refer to here is the psychology  “teaching the elephant not to dance”.

 If you are cynical or don’t believe it is possible to work 2, 4 8, 16 or even 64 times less, you need to look down and check your leg for a rope!

I now often make more money as a Forex Trader in a matter of minutes a day than millions of people around the world do working 10 to 12 hours a day. Forex trading is not rocket science, in fact it is incredibly simple really and when you get it right it is the best career in the world bar none!

What you are likely doing now is selling your time for money. What Forex can give you is not only your time back but a lot of money when you get it right. It should never be viewed as a get rich quick scheme, EVER, but you can get very rich to spend a lot more time with the people you love.

Alan Greenspan is a lot shorter than you imagine and as he walked towards me I knew it was him for sure. My mind was racing. What should I do? Ask him for an autograph, quick picture maybe, or ask him if he’s heard of LTG GoldRock LOL?  I didn’t do anything. I just stood there and to be honest I just thought, that’s him, that’s the guy that millions of people around the world believe screwed the US economy. Was he really the one that caused it? Could he have guided us through and averted the disaster on Wall St? My opinion is he certainly helped cause it, not intentionally, but he must take responsibility for some of the biggest financial mistakes in his country’s history. 

So how do American’s ensure they don’t become the victims of the circumstances again and insulate themselves from an event such as this? Some people think it won’t ever happen again, so who cares.  Try telling that to millions of American’s looking for work, are behind on their mortgage payments, have credit card debt they can’t jump over and are struggling to pay their car payment and keep food on the table.  They don’t care about 10 or 20 years down the track, they care about right NOW! We are not out of the woods by any means and it will take years and years before unemployment comes back to levels considered acceptable or the norm for a country such as the USA.

 America has sadly spent itself into oblivion, is essentially broke as a Nation and living on mountains and mountains of dirty debt.  The problems that every day American’s face in my view stem from the fact that a culture of spending and accumulating debt has not only been encouraged for decades but actually forced on people. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to see that America lives way beyond its means. And the government, Wall st and Capitol Hill are the worst offenders. The Economy will recover in time, but it is a long way off and to stimulate spending and create jobs, governments must spend money, banks must lend lots of money and consumers must borrow it. The US government doesn’t have any money to spend, so it will continue to use Treasury Bonds and other forms of loans to fund its spending. Essentially creating more and more debt. And President Obama will continue to tell banks to lend money to consumers that can’t afford it and therefore create more household debt, adding fuel to the fire.

 There are options for American’s that are struggling and trying to make ends meat. One option is to quit standing in the same line as everyone else. That is why some are in the position they are in now. They followed the crowd.

 Make a decision today to learn to manage money, educate yourself about how to create cash flow yourself so as you can create an opportunity in your life that you can be independent of the circumstances of recessions and economic down turns. Yeah I know, you say you don’t have any money. I don’t believe you! Find something that you have that you can sell and get a few dollars together and start attending free seminars on how to invest. Don’t invest in the first one you find, look around and spend a few months seeing what is out there. Just get started and get off the bus that everyone else is on.  Now there are some forms of investing that are ideal for generating cash flow but trading currencies is at the top of the list in my view. Here is why….

 It is the biggest financial market in the world and will not collapse like the stock market or jobs market, ever! There will always be currencies you can trade to make money and while one currency may be falling in value (such as the US Dollar) another currency is rising and you can buy or sell currencies daily and make money. You need only $200 in a broking account to get started, all you need is the internet and a  computer which you already have, and you can begin to educate yourself and learn to trade the biggest money making machine in the world with as little as .10c per point, making or losing the cost of a cup of coffee.  You require no staff, no stock and equipment, no selling to do, no customers to talk too, work what days you want to work and be anywhere in the world and do it on a computer or cell phone. Tell me a money making opportunity like that!

 Now the key is this. 99% of American’s that try to learn how to trade currencies by themselves will fail and lose their $200 dollars. But if they have discipline and patience, develop a team around them to support them they can steadily build their own debt free business that can continue to pay them money for the rest of their lives.

 Forex trading is the next big investment in the US, mark my words! Just Google it and see for yourself.

And you will never guess who is doing it. 20% of all foreign currency is being traded in Japan by Japanese housewives. Yes, that’s right, Japanese housewives!  Some would say Japanese tradition frowns on women making money through means other than hard labor – means such as market speculation on stocks or currency trading. But this taboo is now out in the open thanks to Mayumi Torii. The 41-year old mother of one said she earned $150,000 since she started margin trading in currencies early in 2006.

Torii now appears on TV promoting her FX Beauties Club. She says now “I can stand on my own economically”. A necessity she discovered after her first marriage ended in divorce, and she and her son had to live off her meager savings. “I never want to feel that vulnerable again,” she said.
