No One Key Factor

Tip number one is that there is no single key factor that is going to ensure success in Forex market trading but by understanding the trends in both upward as well as downward movements it is possible to affect some truly profitable deals. In fact, only if you are able to properly identify the future trend can you stand the best chance of succeeding with Forex market trading.

Remember however that at the same time the Forex market is very unpredictable and shifts and twists and turns occur often and instantaneously as well. This makes Forex market trading very challenging since it calls for tracking changes on a 24×7 basis. Furthermore, since the Forex market works all around the clock you will also need to be up and alert to changes in the international markets that in turn take place at odd hours of the day and night. One way to keep up with changes is to outsource the job to a hands-on broker.

However, there is not much advantage to be gained by outsourcing as there are too many factors influencing the Forex market that even paying a professional can keep up and so it will not prove to be profitable or even affordable to trust them with the job. It is better to use a tried and tested Forex currency trading system that can do the same job as does a broker – but for vastly less sums of money.

A Forex currency trading system can conduct auto trades on your behalf and it can buy and sell according to the movement of the Forex market and in this way can help ensure your success in Forex market trading.

When it concerns Forex market trading another important aspect to it is that there are no fixed Forex market hours, though at the same time it is important to understand that these hours are a vital component to succeeding in Forex market trading. With currencies being traded from different countries that work in different time zones you need to be up when those currencies are being traded (when the markets in those countries open). So, you need to learn how to tap the international market in a manner that you are always in tune with movements taking place in real time in different markets in different parts of the world.

The performance of the Notes are linked to the share price performance in these companies:

1. Singapore Airlines Limited
2. Singapore Exchange Limited
3. Singapore Press Holdings Limited
4. CapitaLand Limited
5. Keppel Corporation Limited
6. DBS Group HOldings Limited
7. Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited
8. United Overseas Bank Limited

How the Pinnacle Notes work: 

1. Spend S$10000 on the notes.
2. Wait for results of Worst Performing Stock (WPS), the stock that has the lowest percentage rise compared to the rest.

Worst Performing Stock

There is no way the customer can win.

Assuming the stock market is doing great, and all the stock prices increase by 10%, some probably more, you will only get back a maximum of 8.8% in interest. Where does the other 1.2% go? This will be considered part of their expenses. If all the stocks make 20%, you still only get a maximum of 8.8%. The rest of the 12.2% does not go to your pocket. And because of a knock-out feature, if the closing price of WPS is at or above 100% of Initial Spot price, you will not be able to continue to invest. They will return you your money. Remember, the 8.8% is based on per annum, so if your Notes are knocked out within 3 months, you will only get 2.2% interest maximum.

Let’s say most of the stocks did well, except for the WPS. Perhaps this blue chip company had adverse publicity or they lost money due to some reasons. It may drop to 90% of its initial price, and you will only get back 4.8% in interest. This could happen even if the rest of the stocks increase by 20%.

If there were a scandal at one of the companies the Notes are tracking, and the stock price crashes. Even if the rest of the companies do well, you may still lose part or all of your capital.

Just based on the three simplified scenarios, there is no way the investor can win. Probably the investor can win if all the companies did not make much money, but then again, the 8.8% interest is not guaranteed.

Most likely, the notes are targeted at the lay person who thinks that investing in the notes offer better returns than putting the money in local fixed deposits. However, the risks here are greater, and they protect the issuers more than the consumers. There are so many other ways to grow your money. Even unit trusts have a better chance of making more money.
