The essence of online currency trading (Forex) is buying or selling one currency and simultaneously selling or buying another currency. For example, for the pair EUR/USD if you buy euros you simultaneously sell USD. In this case you will win money if EUR goes up against the USD.
Why to trade Forex?
This is the most liquid market in the world. There are always buyers and sellers for all the major currencies. Over 85% of transactions involve the major currencies: US dollars, EUR, British Pound, Swiss Franc, Japanese Yen, Canadian Dollar and the Australian Dollar.
Forex trading is not centralized – it is a global network of banks, brokers and private traders.
Unlike commodities or stocks you will never end up with a major currency on hand not knowing what to do with it. Also you can specify the exact amount of money you are willing to risk with your stop loses and taken into consideration the liquidity of the Forex it is highly unlikely that your stop will not be triggered. This might only happen if you trade major news – which should ideally be avoided unless you have a specific set up for trading news.
Trading currencies is clearly not for everyone. It requires self-discipline and adherence to your trading plan no matter what. First of all you need to read good books on currency trading then develop or buy a trading plan. After that you need to open a demo account with a broker who preferably has the MT4 platform so you will be able to automate your trading if at some point you decide to do so. It is also easy to install different indicators on the MT4 platform.
Another important feature of the Forex market is that it is open for trading 24 hours a day from 6 PM EST on Sunday until 4 PM EST on Friday.
You can trade currencies online using margin. This means you can trade 10,000 or even 100,000 dollars contracts with a deposit of as little as 250 – 2000 dollars depending on the broker’s requirements. Unlike commodities market you cannot lose more money than what your initial deposit was.
In the Forex market it is easy to earn lots of money within a short period of time however, the opposite is equally true. Make sure you risk only money that you afford to lose – never risk money that you allocated to some other important expenses such as mortgage payment, rent, car payment, food, medical expenses, etc. However with a little deposit required it is not hard to save up some “risk” money. As I already mentioned never start trading without using a demo account first even if you can afford to lose that money.
Losing money is not your goal, right?
Sound trading strategy that brings consistent winning trades in demo account along with sound money management techniques are of paramount importance if you want to be in this business for a long time.

Getting Started With Mini Forex Trading
Mini forex trading was created for new traders entering the forex market. This means new traders do not require a lot of money in order to be able to access this market and start placing trades. The Mini Account uses a different leverage calculation than a regular (100k) account. This means that instead of trading full-size currency lots (100,000 units), you'll trade in lots that are just 1/10 the size (10,000 currency units), which in turn greatly reduces the amount of money you risk in each trade you enter.
In a Mini Account the smaller lot sizes have correspondingly smaller pip values. Pips in a Mini Account are worth, on average, $1 instead of the $8 to $10 value they have in a regular account. The Mini Forex account offers up to 200:1 leverage, this means that just a $50 margin deposit will allow you to trade lots worth roughly $10,000. The mini forex account is beneficial for new traders to improve their forex trading skills while being exposed to less financial risk on the market.
Success in the forex market and becoming a profitable trader depends on a lot of practice and experience. It is still essential to practice first with the demo trading software to enable you to get comfortable with the trading platform and to get a feel of the real market. Once you get an idea of what to expect in the forex market, it is wise that you should open a mini forex trading account. Now you are dealing with real money.
Although you might risk losing real money, a mini forex trading account only requires a small investment of money. You'll be profiting less from a successful trade and also losing less if the trade goes bad . For example, while a 20-pip loss on a 100,000 USD/JPY position would be $200, the same loss on a 10,000 USD/JPY position in a Mini account would amount to only $20. Mini forex trading reduces the risk of your loss. You can always make another deposit if you lose. The key to mini forex trading is to enhance your skills until you are ready to trade with the big traders.
To start with a mini forex account, there are some characteristics you should know:
• Required minimum account deposit = $100 - $300 (this is known as margin)
• Recommended account deposit = $2,000
• Traded in 10,000-unit currency lots
• A default margin: set at 0.5% ($50 per mini-lot)
• Leverage up to 200:1
Mini forex trading has little disadvantages than a regular forex account. You will be enjoying all the benefits that full-size Forex account holders enjoy, this can work in your advantage. You will have access to the same trading software, charts, resources, and tools from your broker. Mini accounts are ideal for new Forex traders to develop a proper, disciplined forex trading strategy without the fear of losing money.
Another great feature of using a mini forex trading account is that there is no maximum trade volume and you are not limited to trading one lot. You are able to trade 10,000 units or even 200,000 units even if the standard size of a mini forex account is 10,000 units. This enables you to develop your skills, trading strategy and technique before slowly increasing the size of your trades. The ability to customize the size of the trade will allow you to have a better risk management of your money
The mini forex trading account is ideal for beginners or novices that are just starting to enter the world of forex trading. Here, the risk is real and the money is real. With Mini Forex trading it is easier to develop the confidence needed to be a successful currency trader, without the anxiety and distractions that come with large profit and loss swings.
In a Mini Account the smaller lot sizes have correspondingly smaller pip values. Pips in a Mini Account are worth, on average, $1 instead of the $8 to $10 value they have in a regular account. The Mini Forex account offers up to 200:1 leverage, this means that just a $50 margin deposit will allow you to trade lots worth roughly $10,000. The mini forex account is beneficial for new traders to improve their forex trading skills while being exposed to less financial risk on the market.
Success in the forex market and becoming a profitable trader depends on a lot of practice and experience. It is still essential to practice first with the demo trading software to enable you to get comfortable with the trading platform and to get a feel of the real market. Once you get an idea of what to expect in the forex market, it is wise that you should open a mini forex trading account. Now you are dealing with real money.

Last days have seen an increase in the number of new ridiculous USB sticks. We already reported the skate drive and the Post-It USB stick but things have gotten only worse since then.
Newest additions are the handmade Tokyo Cat (pictured at the right) and the USB Green Man. Obviously there is the Hello Kitty USB stick but that one is surprisingly discrete compared to the latest rage. It should be no surprise that there is a Obama USB drive too.
Maybe it’s just me and I have become an old and boring sod, but I usually am looking for the most discrete _bling_ and not etsy crafted gadgets on the $tarbuck$ table when I want to show off my luxurious lifestyle as always connected caffeine addicted worker.
On second thought I actually might love to start a collection of the most ridiculous USB drives!
iDuck USB Drive
When you see this picture first you immediately know its name has to be iDuck. Something just tells you that’s the only appropriate name for this drive. Popularity of the iDuck has been rather minimal, probably inexistent considered it costs a whopping $49.99 for 256MB space only. But you get integrated light in the duck for that price. Now think about going to the cafe with your shiny MacBook Air and digging your iDuck out of your pocket.
USB Shrimp from Solid Alliance
1GB and 4 different food varieties USB drive models: shrimp, crrab, caramel and even burger. Actually, the tomato is a USB hub.
Everything’s handcrafted. Bonus points for creativity but I can’t imagine putting this on my table when slurping an espresso doppio.
Kyoto CatBar USB Drive
One quick look at this picture can make you think of all the fantasies you could live out during bored and desperate nerd hours if only you buy more than one of these! But the fun comes with a price: $81.75 for just 2GB. If only they had integrated the connector somewhere under the neck and made a keyhanger out of this.
Wooden USB Oooms
Why, why, oh why?
I can see the appeal to ecologists who make biofuel from their leftover beer. Handmade too, so I suppose this drive actually is made from wood and I think the price’s handcrafted as well at $119.99 for 2GB.
Sushi & Dimsum USB Drives
Compared to the previous USB drives this almost looks acceptable. Almost I wrote!
I bet you’re in to catch quite some eyeballs and even more weird looks, probably even medical advice, when you plug these in to a black, nowadays almost a collector’s item, MacBook.
Barbie USB
This obviously is a handmade USB drive by someone who wanted to make it to 4Chan and I can’t imagine this ever going in to production, although Mattel has done the weirdest things lately. Actually… I could see a future for this. Anyone want to sell this to Mattel? Don’t bother about abusing their own trademark, tell them about the Hello Kitty rage and the need for a pink Barbie netbook.
Humping Dog USB Drive
If it comes from ThinkGeek it has be awwesome, doesn’t it? Wrong, wrong, WRONG! This humping dog USB drive, also available as crunching dog model, is just totally wrong. A fitness dog sticking out of your laptop? Perfect to keep your NADD up to par, but that’s about it.
Luckily, when it comes to weird USB drives, there is something for all the geeks among us. More than something.
Lupin The Third USB Drive
Eventhough GeekStuff4U responsible was for catastrophes like the Strawberry Doughnut USB drive1, they deserve every credit not only for this awesome Lupus III drive but also for their excellent range of Star Wars USB Hubs.
Mr.Gadget 1GB USB 2.0 Executive Watch
Reading the name alone would be enough to make you freak out and fear the worst, but this watch actually looks acceptable. Not being a Casio watch it does not get an extra geek credit bonus, but the Mr. Gadget Executive USB watch has a decent look and even a Citizen alike chronograph. If only they could invent a Magsafe™ USB connector this could be perfect for any aspiring Bond among us.
And it’s on offer right now: $219.95.
Lego USB
Lego is an all-time favourite of geeks worldwide and best of all is that you can easily make your own model. The only limit is your own creativity and aptitude with Lego bricks.
C-3PO USB Drive
Mimobot, designer USB flash driver store par excellence, comes with this awesomely looking C-3PO, but also has many more great Star Wars, Happy Tree Friends and other drives. At $44/95 for a 4GB C-3PO this is a steal compared to the previous models we saw in this entry.

(Stores of all the USB drives are linked via the images)
(Universal Serial Bus) A widely used hardware interface for attaching a maximum of 127 peripheral devices to a computer. There are usually at least two USB ports on laptops and four USB ports on desktop computers. After appearing on PCs in 1997, USB quickly became popular for connecting keyboards, mice, printers and external drives and eventually replaced the PC's serial and parallel ports.
USB devices are "hot swappable;" they can be plugged in and unplugged while the computer is on. This feature, combined with easy-to-reach ports on the front of the computer case, gave rise to the ubiquitous USB drive for backup and data transport. See USB drive.
USB 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0
USB 1.0 (1996) and USB 1.1 (1998) provide a Low-Speed 1.5 Mbps subchannel for keyboards and mice and a Full-Speed channel at 12 Mbps. Hi-Speed USB 2.0 (2001) jumps the top rate to 480 Mbps. SuperSpeed USB 3.0 (2008) provides a huge 10x increase over USB 2.0 to 4.8 Gbps (see USB 3.0).
Hubs Add Extra Ports
A USB hub plugs into one USB port on the computer and provides four or more shared ports for peripherals. Monitors and keyboards may also have built-in hubs, which offer convenient sockets on top of the desk for connecting devices. For more details, see USB hub. See PoweredUSB, USB device class, USB OTG, USB drive, USB printer, USB switch and USB toy.

USB Spypen Is Huge, Won't Trick Anyone
The Thanko Spydisk packs an SD card reader/writer along with 512 MB of its own flash memory into a pen the size of one of those jumbo pencils you used in kindergarten because you had no hand coordination. The USB connector is hidden under the pen cap, and the car reader is behind the pen's clip. It costs $50 plus shipping, and I question its spy-worthiness. Of course, I'm not a very good spy. The last time I tried to steal a company's trade secrets I didn't download anything, and accidentally uploaded my personal banking information, along with some private pictures my girlfriend and I took on vacation.

One of Yahoo’s top marketing execs, Eric Hadley, who came to the company with a lot of acclaim in only November, is set to leave for a new job working in branding and global marketing for Microsoft’s MSN online service, several sources said.
Hadley had previously worked at Microsoft (MSFT) as GM of global advertising solutions and marketing support at MSN, although he had come to Yahoo (YHOO) from a job at Heavy.com as its chief marketing officer.
At Yahoo, he was hired as its VP of U.S. field marketing. In a statement at the time of his hire, Yahoo’s marketing and customer care SVP, Nick Besbeas, said it was a “a newly created role responsible for marketing communications strategy and execution for advertisers, publishers, industry groups and other partners.”
It’s yet another sign of renewed executive unrest at Yahoo, which continues in the wake of the hiring of new CEO Carol Bartz. Yesterday, BoomTown reported that Zimbra founder Satish Dharmaraj was leaving Yahoo, which was confirmed by the company later in the day.
Hadley seemed excited by the new role at Yahoo only a few short months ago. In his statement then, he said: “I’ve always admired the Yahoo! brand, the spirit of innovation and results Yahoo! provides for advertisers. I am very excited to be joining this great team and look forward to helping take the company to the next level.”
Well, maybe not the next level, which Yahoo is trying to reach under Bartz.
The departure of both execs is not likely related directly to her arrival, as sources at Yahoo said that the hard-charging new CEO had not yet met with all its top execs to assess the bench strength at Yahoo, or brought in any new execs save her own longtime administrative assistant.
So far, many of the troops at Yahoo seem jazzed by Bartz’s arrival as it signals change and she is known for making decisions quickly.
But the uncertainty of a new CEO and continued talks with Microsoft and Time Warner (TWX) unit AOL about various partnerships have continued to jar many at Yahoo too.

Yahoo Messenger 9 offers a more elaborate friend list and can display videos and photos in the chat window.

You can't take it with you, at least when it comes to your social graph.
But with a new beta version of Yahoo Messenger 9 software (download it for Windows) released Thursday, users have new options for reconstructing networks of friends and contacts they've built elsewhere.
The new beta of Yahoo Messenger 9 can help user invite contacts on AOL, Google's Gmail and Orkut, Microsoft's Hotmail, MySpace, and other online services to connect through the Yahoo service. Version 9 also includes a special group of all people in your Yahoo address book, helping to connect with contacts users may have stored elsewhere within Yahoo itself.
Also tying more deeply into the rest of Yahoo, the new beta can be used to reflect some other activities within the network--for example, when somebody spotlights a Web site of interest using Yahoo Buzz.
"We'll add more types of updates in the future," said product manager Sarah Bacon in a blog posting about the new beta.
Yahoo Messenger 9 is intended for use on Windows XP, in contrast to the more obviously named Yahoo Messenger for Vista (download it for Windows Vista). The final version of the Yahoo Messenger 9 is due in the third quarter, Yahoo said. The Mac equivalent is scheduled to be released by the end of the year.
Also new in the beta is a better interface for setting status messages--even if you're away from your IM software, Yahoo said. And links to games present in Yahoo Messenger 8 has made its way to version 9, so users can play pool, checkers, and others. However, only those with version 8.1 or later can play games with those using the version 9 beta, Yahoo said.
Yahoo Messenger's icon, a frighteningly happy face, reflects the fact that people have a whole section of their brains just for processing facial information. Yahoo is tapping into that visual cortex a little more directly with the new beta, which uses larger emoticons.
For further information, check Yahoo's blog about the new beta or a Messenger 9 beta demo video.

Delta Air Lines Inc., one year removed from bankruptcy, agreed to buy Northwest Airlines Corp. in a $3.63 billion stock deal that would create the world's largest carrier and may unleash more industry consolidation.
The airline will keep Delta's name, Atlanta headquarters and chief executive officer, Richard Anderson, 52. The purchase will create a total of $1 billion in new revenue and savings and won't shut any hubs, the companies said today in a statement.
Delta, the third-biggest U.S. airline by traffic, is betting that combining with No. 5 Northwest will help blunt a 74 percent surge in jet fuel over 12 months. The move also is likely to hasten merger talks among rivals including United Airlines to counter the new Delta's wider network.
``The assumptions are fairly optimistic,'' said George Hamlin, managing director of New York-based consulting firm ACA Associates. ``Given high fuel prices and going into a recession, it makes you wonder how things will improve.''
Each Northwest share will be exchanged for 1.25 Delta shares, a 16.8 percent premium based on today's closing price, the airlines said. Northwest investors will get $13.10 per share, valuing the company at $3.63 billion. Northwest has 277 million shares outstanding as of today, Delta Chief Financial Officer Ed Bastian said. It had 236.4 million shares as of Jan. 31, according to Bloomberg data.
One-Time Costs
The deal will include one-time cash costs of $1 billion, the companies said. Northwest CEO Doug Steenland, 57, will sit on the new airline's board, and Bastian will keep his roles as Delta's president and CFO.
Shareholders for Delta and Eagan, Minnesota-based Northwest would have to approve the transaction, which also would need clearance from federal antitrust regulators. While Delta pilots would get a 3.5 percent equity stake in the airline and a board seat under a new contract, Northwest's pilots said they would ``aggressively oppose'' the tie-up.
The combined carrier would vault past AMR Corp.'s American Airlines as the world's largest by traffic, and would have 800 aircraft and 75,000 employees.
With a bigger Delta reshaping the competitive landscape for U.S. airlines, other carriers may renew their interest in finding a partner.
Continental Airlines Inc., No. 4 in the U.S. by traffic, has held talks with UAL Corp.'s United, the world's second- largest carrier, and has met with American, a person with knowledge of the matter said Feb. 15.
Pressure on Profits
The slowing U.S. economy, which is starting to damp travel demand, also is weighing on the industry.
The eight largest U.S. carriers may post a combined first- quarter loss of $1.4 billion, Merrill Lynch & Co. analyst Michael Linenberg wrote today in a note to clients, two days before AMR leads off the airlines' earnings reports.
Four small U.S. airlines filed for bankruptcy in the past month: Frontier Airlines Holdings Inc., Skybus Airlines Inc., Aloha Airgroup Inc. and ATA Airlines Inc.
A combined Delta-Northwest will control about 25 percent of the U.S. air-travel market, estimated Ray Neidl, an analyst at Calyon Securities in New York. Delta and Northwest and their regional partners carried 176 million people last year.
Delta's biggest contributions to the new carrier include trans-Atlantic routes to Europe and a network in Latin America, while Northwest has Pacific routes including access to the restricted Narita Airport in Tokyo.
Adding overseas flying was part of each airline's strategy to return to profit after bankruptcy.
`Bulked Up'
``With Delta and Northwest bulked up, they can compete globally,'' former Continental CEO Gordon Bethune said today in an interview. ``They will have enough of the market that if they say, we need another $5 per ticket, they can get it.''
Bethune was an adviser to hedge fund Pardus Capital Management LP, which backed a Delta-UAL tie-up last year.
Delta has U.S. hubs at Atlanta, New York's Kennedy airport, Cincinnati and Salt Lake City. Northwest's are in Minneapolis, Detroit, and Memphis, Tennessee. Northwest also operates hubs in Amsterdam and Tokyo.
The new Delta doesn't plan to further cut capacity as part of the tie-up, Anderson said today on a conference call with reporters. Delta said in March it will cut 2,000 jobs and lower capacity by 10 percent, double its previous goal, and Northwest said it would halt hiring and cut capacity by 5 percent.
Anderson's View
``No, there's not any contemplated,'' Anderson said of additional capacity cuts. ``Until we have antitrust approval, you can't really jointly plan.''
The announcement came after the close of regular stock market trading. Delta rose 47 cents, or 4.7 percent, to $10.48 at 4:15 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading, while Northwest added 26 cents, or 2.4 percent, to $11.22. The Bloomberg U.S. Airlines Index climbed 1.4 percent, with nine of 14 carriers gaining.
The deal caps five months of industry speculation about Delta's intentions after revealing on Nov. 14 that it created a board committee to study merger options.
For Delta's Anderson, the accord fulfills the prediction made 13 months ago by predecessor Gerald Grinstein that Delta would become ``an acquirer'' after spurning a hostile takeover bid from US Airways Group Inc. in bankruptcy. Delta and Northwest discussed a tie-up before leaving court protection in April and May of 2007, respectively.
Acquiring Northwest also puts Anderson back in charge of the airline where he was CEO from 2001 through 2004. His lieutenants at Northwest included Steenland.
Pilots' Stake
Talks on the transaction stalled in February after pilots couldn't agree on how to mesh union seniority lists at the airlines.
Delta and its 7,000 pilots broke the impasse in the past few days with a new labor agreement running through 2012 that includes the equity stake. Northwest's 5,000 pilots would be asked to join a unified contract before the deal closes.
``This agreement clearly disadvantages NWA pilots,'' Dave Stevens, chairman of the Northwest chapter of the Air Line Pilots Association, said in an e-mailed statement. Stevens said pilot leaders at Northwest ``will use all resources available to aggressively oppose this merger.''
Non-pilot employees of both companies in the U.S. will be given a 4 percent equity stake when the deal closes, the companies said, adding that they don't expect to make any involuntary layoffs.
In addition to the board seat going to the Delta pilots, the new airline will have seven directors from Delta and five from Northwest, the companies said.
Delta's financial advisers were Greenhill & Co. and Merrill Lynch & Co., and its legal advisers were Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz and Hunton & Williams.
Northwest's financial advisers were Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan Chase & Co., and the carrier's legal advisers were Simpson Thacher & Bartlett and O'Melveny & Myers.

With all of the changes in airlines, I can tell you for sure that the biggest airline merger in the news right now is between Delta and Northwest. Well, finally, Delta has received the final regulatory green light that it needs to finally complete the full merge of Northwest airlines into Delta.
What this means is that the Northwest name is going to no longer exist and that the airline is all going to be Delta. Although the two airlines have been combine for almost a year now – the Northwest airlines are finally going to be repainted to become Delta planes.
The Northwest names and codes were still in place and now – with this approval, they will no longer be in place.
