    Making an investment is an extremely important decision, not just for business houses but also for individuals. It is crucial that investors consider a few things before they make their investment decision for certain. Market factors are very important and they should be given prime consideration, as they define the future of your investments.

    As the global markets are still recovering from the hard-hitting subprime crisis of 2008, taking market factors into consideration have never been so important ever before. It is also necessary that investors consider their long-term goals and not just short-term interests before making an investment. This helps with avoiding a bad or rash investment decision. Let us have a look at some of the important points that demand consideration at the time of an investment:

    1. Having an emergency repository of funds: It is a given that all investors must compulsorily have an emergency fund of sorts to help them cope with future exigencies, such as sudden falls in the market, unemployment, and so on. This emergency fund can be built using a portion of the monthly salary over a considerable period of time or alternatively, channeling a large part of the same towards building the fund over a lesser period of time. This would depend on personal choices and financial ability, etc.

    2. Assessing ones financial position: Before entering the world of investing, it is extremely important that potential investors take time and conduct an assessment of their financial position. This step is mainly to help potential investors understand their financial risk-taking capacity and also their plan-goal compatibility, while taking the market conditions into consideration.

    3. Pre-caution from fraud: Given that the markets are still only just recovering, it is not rare to find fraudulent practitioners in the world of finance and investment. Therefore, it is always advisable to be on the alert for fraud. One way to avoid entering into deals with fraudulent companies is by investigating their authenticity through research, and also checking with friends and family who are also aware of and are engaged in investment.

    4. Types of assets and spreading investment risk: Out of stocks, bonds and cash, seldom does one see the simultaneous rise of all three types of assets at the same time. Therefore, it is best if the investor spreads his or her risk and decides to invest in more than one type. That way, in the event that the value of your investment in one type falls, the investment in the other is still available to compensate or fall back on.

    You have finally reached a level of income and assets that you need to find a conveniently-located financial advisor in California to get you to the next level of wealth building. Congratulations, because that is a good problem to have. The right financial advisor can not only steer you in the right direction, they can also do something for you that you probably never thought necessary; they can teach you about your own money. Like it or not, you can be, and probably are, your own worst enemy when it comes to managing your money.

    The laws are different on the West Coast, so you are going to want a California financial advisor, not a voice on the other end of the telephone and on the other end of the continent. Beyond very specific advice, here are some general guidelines that will help you find the professional help that is right for you:

    No Commissions

    Right or wrong, consciously or unconsciously, an advisor who works on commission can have their judgment clouded by an individual transaction. Instead, look for an advisor that charges a fee instead of a commission. Do not be fooled by advisors who tout their service as fee-based, which simply means they charge a fee and a commission.

    One resource you can use to find a fee-only or hourly financial advisor is the National Association of Personal Finance Advisors.

    Meaningful Certification

    It comes as an unpleasant surprise to many seeking financial management; the only requirement to be able to legally give financial advice or to buy and sell assets is a passing mark on a test about securities law. If they are going to going to sell insurance, they will also need an insurance license. Just about everything else is mere filler.

    The one designation that still retains meaning is CFP, which means that the recipient has underwent a thorough background check, has passed a comprehensive test covering all aspects of financial planning, and has at least three years of experience in the field. To maintain that rating, they must enroll in continuing education to stay current.

    The Voice of Experience

    The generally accepted length of the financial business cycle is seven to eleven years. Therefore, if you only consider hiring a California financial advisor who has served in that capacity for at least ten years, you will have the advantage of working with someone who has experienced firsthand the peaks and valleys of the investment landscape. When it is your money on the line, a cool and steady hand is what is called for.

    There are risks associated with any investment plan, and past success is not an absolute predictor of future performance. But by following these three simple guidelines, you can maximize your chances of safe and steady financial growth.

    Trading breakouts is one of the most tried and tested methods of trading the forex markets because when the price breaks out of an established trading range, it often continues to move strongly in that direction. Therefore there are some excellent profits to be made.

    There are lots of different ways you can trade breakouts. You can wait for a quiet period of the day for instance when the price is barely moving and is confined to a very narrow range, and wait for a breakout to take place, or you can use bollinger bands and wait for them to narrow because this often precedes a strong breakout. However in this article I want to talk about a particular strategy that involves opening ranges.

    I’ve been experimenting with this strategy on the GBP/USD and EUR/USD pairs recently and it seems to work very well. What you basically do is to look at the opening hours between 00.00 and 06.00 GMT (or 08.00 if the price is still within this range up until this time) and draw two horizontal lines marking the high and low points for this period.

    Then you simply wait for the price to break out and close above (or below) one of these lines and take a corresponding long or short position. This method works well when there is a narrow opening range and the reason it works is simple. Every pair has an average daily range (the GBP/USD is roughly 220 points and the EUR/USD is roughly 180 points according to 2008 figures) so if the opening range is a small fraction of this number, then you know that there are a lot of points to be made either above or below the current opening range.

    It’s not a method that can be used every day on a certain currency pair because sometimes the price will move quite substantially in the opening few hours, but it’s well worth putting into practice when the opening range is very narrow.

    There are various ways you can actually trade this system. You can either jump in as soon as the breakout bar or candle closes, or if you want to place the odds substantially in your favour, you can wait for an initial breakout followed by a pull-back into this trading range, then trade the subsequent breakout (if there is one) because this continuation pattern is a very profitable signal.

    Either way you should find that these strategies (or variants of these strategies) are generally very effective because the price will very often move strongly out of this opening range at some point during the day.
