Benefits Of Managed Forex Accounts
Managed Forex accounts offer a viable solution to those who want to speculate on
prices in the foreign exchange currency market, but whose circumstances in some way prevent them from doing so.
Job and family commitments which must be given priority can prevent would-be currency speculators from devoting the amount of time discretionary Forex trading requires.
Also, people who live in time zones where sleep requirements coincide with prime Forex trading hours can benefit from a managed Forex account. Even though Forex trades 24 hours a day, five days a week, prime trading hours, for the major currencies at least, take place either during that currencys business day or during the hours of the major Forex trading centers, London and New York, that overlap.
Even people whose lifestyle permits them to monitor price activity during peak trading hours, sometimes find that the psychological and emotional elements present in Forex trading, prove difficult to manage and lead to poor decision-making. These factors can be overcome with time and managed accounts can provide an ideal environment for learning to control the physical and mental challenges of Forex trading that observing an experienced professional Forex manager provides.
Finding a company or individual to administer a managed account requires extensive research, investigation and diligence. Anyone unwilling to undertake this process in all probability lacks the necessary patience and self-discipline for Forex trading.
A personal acquaintance who is an experienced Forex trader and uses a managed account either exclusively or as an adjunct to other Forex trading and investment activities, is the best source of unbiased, objective recommendations.
The Internet is also a valuable source of information.
There are numerous websites that do nothing other than track the performance of Forex managers. Keep in mind that most people that are happy with the Forex manager will not bother to post a review on these types of sites. Rather, it is traders who have lost money that vent frustration and anger. Likewise, a review that comes off entirely too positive may have been placed there by someone looking to drum up business.
In the case of negative reviews, if you see the same Forex manager coming up time and again, there is probably a valid reason. It could be a case of the manager creating unrealistic expectations of potential results while downplaying the very real risks involved in trading Forex.
It is possible, however, for a Forex management concern to do thousands of trades, have an overall favorable performance and yet receive reviews from traders who had the misfortune to sign up with that manager during a rough patch.
Positive reviews are rare, since no one who is achieving great results from a managed Forex account wants to risk too many additional clients diluting their Forex managers results.
If any of the earlier described reasons indicate that managed Forex accounts might be a good approach for trading Forex, a cautious approach is highly recommended. Many legitimate Forex managers will offer a trial period, and these represent a good opportunity to test the manager with a small amount of capital before committing to giving that manager complete discretion with a larger account.
