Written by John Mussi


Shopping for a franchise is easy if you know what you are doing. You can choose between radio adverts, newspaper adverts, personal recommendation, Internet, or visit a franchise exhibition. Attending a franchise exhibition allows you to view and compare a variety of franchise possibilities. Keep in mind that exhibitors primarily want to sell their franchise systems. Before you attend, research what type of franchise best suits your investment limitations, experience, and goals.

Do not be pushed into making a rash decision. Here are some useful tips for you to consider in helping you decide which franchise is best for you:

All you need isrepparttar 136412 proper training, you can get very valuable sources for this training at http://www.1-forex.com. But this is notrepparttar 136413 only advantage you get when trading FOREX, compared to other ways of investment and speculation; i.e. Stocks and Commodities. You have a whole bunch of advantages over these other options that will be enumerated inrepparttar 136414 following paragraphs.

The Main Benefits of Tradingrepparttar 136415 FX Spot Market:

1): FOREX isrepparttar 136416 largest financial market inrepparttar 136417 world.

With a daily trading volume of over $1.5 trillion,repparttar 136418 spot FOREX market can absorb trading sizes that dwarfrepparttar 136419 capacity of any other market. In fact, when compared withrepparttar 136420 $50 billion daily market for equities orrepparttar 136421 $30 billion futures market, it becomes quickly apparent this gives you, and millions of other FOREX traders, almost infinite trading liquidity and flexibility.

2): FOREX is a TRUE 24-hour market.

The FOREX Market never sleeps. Trading positions can be entered and exited at any moment - aroundrepparttar 136422 globe, aroundrepparttar 136423 clock, six days a week. There is no waiting for an opening bell as inrepparttar 136424 case of trading stocks. It is a 24- hour, continuous electronic (ONLINE) currency exchange that never closes. This is very desirable for you if you want to trade on a part-time basis, because you can choose when you want to trade: morning, noon or night.

3): There is never a Bear Market in FOREX.

You can have access to a seamless, mutually-inclusive (two- way) exchange of currencies. Meaning, because currencies trade in "pairs" (for example, US dollar vs. yen or US dollar vs. Swiss franc), one side of every currency pair (for example, USD/JPY - JPY = YEN) is constantly moving in relation torepparttar 136425 other. Thus, when you buy a particular currency, you are actually simultaneously sellingrepparttar 136426 other currency in that particular pair. Asrepparttar 136427 market moves, one ofrepparttar 136428 currencies will increase in value versusrepparttar 136429 other. Of course, it is up to you to chooserepparttar 136430 correct currency to be long or short. Since currency trading always involves buying one currency and selling another, there is no structural bias torepparttar 136431 market. This means you have equal potential to profit in both a rising or falling market.

4): High Leverage - up to 200:1 Leverage.

You are permitted to trade foreign currencies on a highly leveraged basis - up to 200 times your investment with some brokers. This is primarily attributed torepparttar 136432 higher levels of liquidity withinrepparttar 136433 currency markets. Standard 100,000- unit currency lots can be traded with as little as 1% margin, or $1,000. Mini FX accounts are permitted to trade with just 0.5% margin -- in other words, just $50 allows you to control a 10,000-unit currency position. Futures traders, who are accustomed to margin requirements generally equal to 5%-8% ofrepparttar 136434 contract value, will immediately recognize thatrepparttar 136435 FOREX market provides much greater leverage, and for stock traders, who must post at least 50% margin, there’s no comparison. If you’re looking for an efficient use of trading capital, this is it!

5): Price Movements Are Highly Predictable.
