Mention anything that could lead to High Yield Investment Programs and people will listen. There are good HYIP?s and there are bad. Anything that is good has always attracted the wrong people.

HYIP?s has been around for so long coming in different names and guises but no matter what, it has not failed to attract customers. The good thing about HYIP is that it can offer good returns for investments sometimes as good as 250% in one month. The bad news is, it has its sorry share of scammers.

HYIP is probably one of the most exciting things happening online for people who are looking for ways to earn a good return for their money. Today, HYIP speculators can earn substantial profits for their investments. A HYIP may invest in properties, in stocks and in other HYIP. As these are good investments and people are flocking to it some HYIP programs are online to prey on potential investors.

HYIP programs are getting more participants by the day and every so often another HYIP program is launched. Many investors have succeeded earning fortunes virtually overnight.

Just like any other venture, especially when these have very high returns, HYIP also involves high risks, Although for people who have done their homework and played it right, a HYIP can be extremely lucrative.

If you have participated in any high yield investment programs before, you will know that programs of this nature have its own large share of scammers and you know what it means to take caution. Even when HYIP is recommended to you by a friend who have visibly earned from the venture, even when respected people in the business and in the community have profited, there is still substantial reason to be cautious and to make very good back ground research. It is a part of a scammer?s strategy to make some people win to attract more. This is similar to dropping baits to be able to fish more. More often than not, it is the good unsuspecting guy that suffers. This is why when parting with your money, serious research is needed. No one has to feel pressured to invest as long as there is still that nagging discomfort that warns you to hold back.

Good or bad, here are some pointers to get some certainty on your investment:

- Any investing is a risk. Winning and losing is a part of the game. This is why many good investors will tell you to invest first the money that is not a part of your active income. Fight first against to urge of investing a fortune even when you are certain you could win. That could come and happen anytime. There is no rush and definitely there should be no pressure. Remember HYIP investing is like gambling. While there is good fun in winning big the first time, many people who felt so certain have also made devastating losses.

- Choose HYIP programs that has been conducting successful programs for months not those that have been conducting for more than two years and definitely not those who have been there for only two weeks no matter the returns on investments that it advertises. Then conduct a shortlist.

- Do not put too much egg in the same basket. Diversify.

- Keep on monitoring the programs that you joined. If one of the programs that you joined has been down 4 times during the month, pull out your investment.

There has never been a better time to learn Forex currency trading online. Although there are many Forex training materials available online there are very few that will actually produce measurable results for most people. In the Forex trading industry there are many different approaches and strategies being taught and used. A few people are having extraordinary results with consistent profit and today?s technology enables any Forex trading entrepreneur to have access to the knowledge that those traders are willing to share.

A good place to start learning for free is in a forum. However, it has been my experience that some of the most popular Forex trading forums are inhabited by some of the more negative minded people in the industry. Newcomers who even make a slightly positive comment about Forex trading will sometimes be attacked by the obviously unhappy people who resent the idea that it is possible for others to easily succeed. Most forums will actually damage your ability to succeed rather than help. That is why our Forex trading forum was formed with the intention of helping and encouraging only. Negative comments are simply deleted and users who consistently display negative attitude are permanently banned.

A Forex video training course is one of the most effective learning tools for enabling students to master the art of trading. As opposed to live seminars which are also more expensive, Forex training videos can be viewed at any convenient time and replayed again and again. There may be sections that warrant repeated viewing while other sections can be viewed briefly or skipped. The video format for learning has proven to be extremely effective for learning trading principles quickly.

Live web conferences are another amazing tool for aiding the process of learning Forex trading. In a live web conference or webinar participants can interact in real time hearing the presenter speak and seeing her screen while explaining or demonstrating Forex trading entry signals. The presenter can also pass the screen sharing feature to any participant so that he can ask questions about what he is seeing on his charts. This medium has accelerated the learning process tremendously for many Forex trading students. It is this kind of technology that makes learning Forex currency trading online a very enjoyable and effective process.

In Special Effects Limited v L?Oreal &amp International Trademark Association (Intervener) [2007] EWCA Civ 1, the Court of Appeal overturned the decision of the Chancery Division of the High Court. The case concerned an opposition to a trade mark registration. The Court in the first instance held that there was no relevant difference between the practice and procedure of the Trade Mark Registry in opposition proceedings under s 38(2) of the Trade Marks Act 1994 and invalidity proceedings under s 47(1) of the Act. The issues in dispute in the two sets of proceedings were identical.

First Instance Decision

The claimant company, Special Effects Limited, owned the mark SPECIAL EFFECTS which was obtained by way of an assignment. The trade mark was registered pursuant to s 40(1) of the Trade Marks Act 1994 (?the Act?) in respect of goods in class 3 (conditioners and hair lotions, and services) and class 44 (beauty and cosmetic therapies).

Before the trade mark was registered, the first defendant opposed the trade mark application on the grounds set out in ss 3(1)(a), 3(3)(b), 5(2)(b) and 5(4)(a) of the Act. The opposition was dismissed by the hearing officer.

The claimant then commenced infringement proceedings against the first defendant and its UK subsidiary (the second defendant), alleging that they had infringed the trade mark SPECIAL EFFECTS by using its brand SPECIAL FX and that the defendants were precluded from challenging the validity of the trade mark SPECIAL EFFECTS on grounds of:-

- Estoppel

- Issue estoppel and

- Abuse of process.

The defendants opposed these infringement proceedings on the basis that the registration of the trade mark SPECIAL EFFECTS was invalid.

The Court in the first instance had to establish the following:-

- whether either or both of the defendants was/were precluded by cause of action estoppel, issue estoppel or abuse of process from challenging the validity of the trade mark SPECIAL EFFECTS and

- whether either or both of the defendants was/were precluded by cause of action estoppel, issue estoppel or abuse of process from alleging use of the marks complained of before the application for registration as part of the basis for a defence under s 11(3) of the Act or as part of the basis for a counterclaim for passing off.

According to Section 38 of the Act:

??(2) Any person may, within the prescribed time from the date of the publication of the application, give notice to the registrar of opposition to the registration.?

According to Section 47 of the Act:

??(1) The registration of a trade mark may be declared invalid on the ground that the trade mark was registered in breach of section 3 or any of the provisions referred to in that section (absolute grounds for refusal of registration). Where the trade mark was registered in breach of subsection (1)(b), (c) or (d) of that section, it shall not be declared invalid if, in consequence of the use which has been made of it, it has after registration acquired a distinctive character in relation to the goods or services for which it is registered.?

The High Court held:

- There was no relevant difference between the practice and procedure of the Registry in opposition proceedings under s 38(2) of the Act and invalidity proceedings under s 47(1).

- The former took place before registration and the latter afterwards, but in each case the issues were whether any objection to registration could be made out under ss 3 and 5 of the Act.

- Therefore, the issues underlying the two sets of proceedings in the instant case were identical.

- It was established that cause of action estoppel applied where a cause of action in the second action was identical to a cause of action in the first.

- Accordingly, the defendants were subject to both cause of action estoppel and issue estoppel arising from the opposition proceedings.

- ??The defendants were precluded from alleging use by them of the SPECIAL FX brand prior to the application for registration for the purpose of a defence under s 11(3) of the 1994 Act or a counterclaim for passing off, as that issue had been expressly raised in the opposition proceedings and had been concluded against the first defendant.?

- The defendants were precluded from re-litigating that issue on the grounds of issue estoppel.

Overturning of Landmark Trade Mark Ruling

The Court of Appeal has overturned this landmark ruling which, from last year until now, had transformed trade mark practice. This means that disputes already heard in proceedings before a hearing officer in the Trade Mark Registry (for example in an opposition proceedings) can be reheard in the High Court.

In the initial dispute between L?Oreal and Special Effects, the High Court did not allow L?Oreal to invalidate Special Effects? SPECIAL FX trade mark registration because L?Oreal had already failed in an opposition against registering the same trade mark and was therefore estopped from attacking the mark again once it had been registered.

However, in Special Effects Limited v L?Oreal &amp International Trademark Association (Intervener) [2007] EWCA Civ 1, the Court of Appeal held that neither cause of action nor issue estoppel would prevent L?Oreal from bringing invalidity proceedings against the Special Effects trade mark registration to render this trade mark invalid.

The Court of Appeal held that there was no cause of action involved in opposition proceedings which could estop a trade mark owner from bringing invalidity proceedings for the same trade mark registration. Also, the co-existence of provisions in the Act now enabled both opposition and invalidation actions to be brought in relation to the same trade mark.

Comment: What this means is that an unsuccessful opponent to a trade mark opposition action could now attack the trade mark registration for invalidity (once the trade mark in question is registered) and that such an action cannot be prevented by principles of estoppel or abuse of process.

The decision in this case means that there is now room for a competitor to attack a trade mark application (during the opposition period) and again when the trade mark is registered on grounds of invalidity.

It's unbelievable, but many people don't actually use forex exit strategies in their forex trading systems.

If you had to break a system down to it's various components, most traders will argue that the most important parts of a forex trading system, or any other kind of trading system for that matter, are its exit strategy and its money management.

Of course, the other parts of a system are also important, such as the entry rules, the instruments that are traded, and the time frames that are used, but the exit strategy in particular can really determine the overall success of a system.

What we're going to talk about in this article are the 5 things that you must know about forex exit strategies. If you understand these 5 points, you'll be able to much more quickly pick up the rules and skills when learning a new forex trading system.

Here they are:

1. Trailing stops are one type of exit strategy used in forex trading systems.

Their main purpose is to protect profits. They do this in 2 ways. Firstly they allow enough ?room to breathe? so that minor fluctuations in the currency price will not stop you out of the trade, and therefore ?allow profits to run?. This is important.

Secondly, they're trailed upwards in a long trade, therefore protecting your profits as the trade goes is your direction, but eventually exits you from the trade when the trade does go against you. In general, trailing stops do not go backwards (which for a long trade is back down), because if they did, they'll no longer be protecting your profits.

2. Initial stops are also important in forex trading systems.

The purpose of the initial stop is to get you out of the trade if the trade goes in the wrong direction near the beginning of the trade.

In general, many systems have both an initial and trailing stops, but the trailing stop may not be known until later in the trade, when say a peak or trough has formed thereby causing the trailing stop to be placed. That is, in some systems a trailing stop is based on price movements, and these technical points may only be formed some time after the trade is entered.

An ideal initial stop should allow ?room to breathe? as well, but not so large as to cause the risk in the trade (the difference between the entry price and the initial stop) to be too large. If the risk in the trade is too large, then the trade sizes will be very small (assuming that you're using a fixed percentage risk model for your money management).

3. ?Take profit? targets are another foex exit strategy.

Many forex systems exit positions either fully or partly, when a certain profit target has been reached, say at 50 or 100 pips. One reason why they're used in forex trading in particular, is that the volatility of the market can cause the prices to fluctuate and get you out at your trailing stop before you had a chance to take profit.

So these take profit targets are used, assuming of course that they improve the profitability or reduce the drawdown of the system, as determined by backtesting or forward testing the forex trading system.

4. Breakeven stops are another commonly used forex exit strategy.

If you enter a trade, and have an initial and trailing stop in place, and the currency moves in the direction of your trade, the trailing stops may be moved to breakeven, that is, to the same price or slightly beyond the entry price, when say the trade is ?x? pips in profit.

The purpose of this kind of stop is again to improve profitability and to reduce drawdown.

5. Finally, realise that in forex trading, many systems will exit a trade within a certain amount of time before a major economic announcement.

A major economic announcement is an announcement that has the potential to cause a temporary but large move in the market accompanied by a sudden increase in volatility. This typically occurs if the economic figures announced are different to what the market expected. If this occurs, you may be taken out at your trailing stop and there may even be gapping, so it may be beneficial to get out at the current price, rather than being bumped out at your trailing stop when an announcement does make a dramatic move in the market.

In conclusion, you should now understand what these five different forex exit strategies are all about, and why they're used.

So when you're assessing a new forex system, put this into practice! See what kinds of stops are used in the system, and how effective they are.

Short term trading as commonly known as day trading strategy is the most forex traders strategy. Day trading are consider to be more psychologically excited and more profitable compared to long term trading strategy as it can be done frequently. Personally, i'm agree with that. Eventhough, day trading is not the first choice in my forex trading.

I treat my forex trading, mostly as an investment, not a game, nor gambling. As a common investment, it has to be done by the way that i thought it has to be done. As for me, investment ia a matters of patiently, high precision of forecasting and calculation which backed by a solid and responsible historical data. I'm using 75% of my forex trading funds to trade long term, and 15% to trade short. I treat the other 10% as an 'account maid' as i dislike to see my account shows $0 in its account balance holding. (These numbers isn't an exact numbers, its just mostly close to that). That's not particularly important. What i wanna is, for these several years, i kept profiting in my trade by using my own simple rules, isn't that whats traders want?

By writing this article, i wanna share my simple method in my long term trading to other traders which may still confuse in determining what trading strategy should be used in their trading. There are 2 important factors that should be remember in running this method.

1. DON'T use too safe stop-loss order
I'm protecting my own trade by using stop-loss order at 50pips or more. Many traders may thought that the lower stop order are more safe. By my own experience, setting a 'too low' stop loss order is just means that i'm betraying my own trading syste, its killing this system.

2. DON'T use too high leverage
I'm using a mazimum of 10:1 leverage, less is better — if you're looking for a higher profits, start to consider to funding your trading account with a larger funds, it's much better than taking a higher risk.

The only tools what i need in running my trading strategy is a complete the last 3 months historical data of some pairs of currency (i usually pick for USDJPY or EURUSD in my trade) — thanks to the amazingly of internet technology which made it easy to find. Then, simply find the lowest currency price rate from the chart.

Whenever the currency rate price that you pick is nearly that lowest rate (10pips or so) just buy it. And check the new chart daily. But always remember to don't be too greed. When it rise up for 20pips or so.. sell it! as easy as that. It just need to be a little patient to do that.

Compared to the frequent day trading, my methods are nothing when you're searching for high profits trading. It might seem like just wasting a time to do so. But ask yourself, 'would rather you choose, risking your money all day long (and may be your eyes health if you're starring at your computer or notebook monitor all the time), or a more certain profits with a little patient?

You may try at 25% long : 75%short or 50% long : 50% short to test this method if you want to. Or you may stick with your old trading behavior. In the end, its all up to you treat your trading. However, our greatest teacher of all is still our own experience. Personally, i'd rather choose a sports gambling than a day trading if comparing the risks and the frequency within both of them…

Happy trading,
