4. We ask those of you that are taking control of your
investing:
Do you know what your investment dollars are worth around the
globe?
In todays global economy the currency values around the world
become an essential piece to understanding the strength or weakness
of todays investments
It is not the G7 anymore, its more like the G20
There are many big players today, so when you understand global
currencies, you understand interest rates and when you understand
interest rates you will understand the financial markets

10. III. FLEXIBILITY of FOREX
Capitalize on ANY market condition
11. If the market goes down, you can make just as much
money as you can when the market goes up
All investments allow you to buy the product first, but Forex
is an investment tool that makes it easy to sell first OR buy
first
12. Selling first means you think the market is going to go
down.
13. Few currencies to identify for trading opportunities
compared to the stock market where there are millions of companies
to spend time researching for opportunities
14. Open 24/6
15. Cost efficient platform and charts and newsfeed are
FREE

IV. Risk Disclaimer
Trading Forexcontracts may not be suitable for all investors. You
may lose a substantial amount of money in a very short period of
time. The amount you may lose is potentially unlimited and can
exceed the amount you originally deposit. This is because trading
is highly leveraged, with a relatively small amount of money used
to establish a position in assets having a much greater value. If
you are uncomfortable with this level of risk, you should not trade
these contracts.

28. XV. RDS Trader Strategy
The Rotating Directional System (RDS) is a support and resistance
strategy developed by Michael Radkay. After appropriate RDS risk
management parameters have been analyzed for the market of choice,
levels of participation are developed from recent market
volatility, average momentum and retracement zones. As prices reach
a specific level objective, new rotation significance is placed on
this area. This continues to give the trader an overall updated
directional sense of what can be expected for upcoming price
action. The levels also post guidelines for price follow through
and/or reversal.
Before entering each trade we put the position of the market up
against our 4 rule test, that is revealed in our Independent Study
and our Master Programs.

XIII. Evaluating Your Performance
2 Types of Investor Personalities
Intellectual Investor has a plan and a strategy
33. Emotional Investor ignores the plan and strategy
These 2 personalities always show up / no one is immune
Each day must be evaluated to see what was good, what was great and
what could be better. Which personality showed up? Did you execute
your trades where you wanted to/where you should have?
