FOREX
The Foreign Exchange Market is a non-stop Global Financial Platform with a daily turnover of USD 3.5 Trillion (source: Bank of International Settlements - www.bis.org). The FOREX market has become the world's largest financial market. Prior to the late 1990’s, with the large minimum deal sizes and rigid financial requirements, the FOREX market was not accessible to the retail traders or individual investors.
However, technological advances and the advent of the internet have finally made it possible for retail traders to engage in FOREX trading. In today's FOREX market, the dollar relentlessly fluctuates against the other currencies of the world. A number of factors, such as the decline of worldwide equity markets and declining world interest rates, have motivated investors to look for alternative investment opportunities.
The escalation in global trades and overseas investments has also led to scores of national economies becoming interlinked with one another. This interconnection and the consequential fluctuations in exchange rates have shaped a mammoth intercontinental market: FOREX.
For countless investors, this has presented attractive profit opportunities. The FOREX market offers unparalleled potential for rewarding trading in any market condition or any stage of the business cycle. These combined factors have brought about many advantages.
Session Objectives:
Understand the history and fundamentals driving the FOREX market
Read and use historical charts of price movements of currency pairs
Employ technical analysis and charting tools to trade in FOREX
Understand the characteristic behaviors of particular currency pairs
Understand the correlation of price movements between currency pairs
Employ the scientific method approach to trading
Public Speaking
Public speaking can range from simply transmitting information, to motivating people to act, to simply telling a story. Good speaker should be able to change the emotions of their listeners, not just inform them. Public speaking can be a powerful tool to use for purposes such as motivation, influence, persuasion, informing, translation, or simply entertaining.
Public speaking is a common source of stress for everyone. Many of us would like to avoid this problem entirely, but this is hard to do. Whether we work alone or with large numbers of people, eventually we will need to speak in public to get certain tasks accomplished.
The truth about public speaking, however, is IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE STRESSFUL! If you correctly understand the hidden causes of public speaking stress, and if you keep just a few key principles in mind, speaking in public will soon become an invigorating and satisfying experience for you.
