4x Trading and 4x Software

The past few years have seen a "changing of the guard" where brokers were Kings and the banks operated the 4x markets in a closed and secret fashion. With the advent of easy to use 4x software, 4x trading is now available to the masses.

This has been an excellent thing too, as it has grown the liquidity of the market multiple times over. Just as it has brought a flurry of speculators to trade in the World's largest market place - currency exchange it has bought a greater level of transparency.

We can now all see and be involved with the effect news has on the world's currencies and economies.

I remember in years gone by when (the now deceased) Kerry Packer, then Australia's richest man had his own full-time currency trading desk. And how that one man's financial power through his full-time 4x traders could move the Australian currency significantly when he opened and closed positions.

In fact in the history of Australia and the 4x market for currency, only the Reserve Bank of Australia exhibited similar levels of influence as did Kerry Packer - a man known to take large gambles.

Now with the plethora of 4x software available, most notably metatrader and the hundreds of 4x robots that work with this amazing trading platform, 4x is truly in the hands of the many.

And the number of traders will grow exponentially yet as all said and done, 4x is still a relatively game for investors.

Living in China as I have done the last few years, it never ceases to amaze me the sheer wealth that exists here. There are well over 1 million US$ millionaires in China. And yet the number of successful business people that have entered the 4x trading sphere are almost none.

But they will. It won't be long before a veritable army of Chinese investors will turn the heat up on the 4x trading arena. The stock market here has risen 80% since January 2009, and real estate prices have leapt by 35%. All that real wealth from booming businesses will all soon find a way into forex soon enough.

Adding to their natural wealth, China has become quite leary about the US$, and the $2,000,000,000,000 (2 Trillion) China holds in foreign reserves in the USA alone. In real terms China is nervous about continuing to be the major lending banker to the USA and its poluting, consumer society.

There is much talk about the New Chinese Yuan (RenMinBi or RMB) becoming a World currency to trade just like the Japanese Yen and the Euro. As the new financial Super Power, surely it won't be long before China's currency becomes a major part of the 4x trading market.

Then things will get very interesting. Then we will see the skill and ability of the Chinese investor at work as they not only master 4x software and 4x trading strategy - we will see them reinvent the way markets work.
