Entry stop orders are an excellent way to get into a trade long or short AUTOMATICALLY. Often if the market is moving extremely fast (due to an economic news release or geopolitical event) and you want to get into a trade, it
is extremely difficult to get the price you click (live market order) because the exchange rate is moving up or down so fast. It is like trying to jump on a train that is moving at full speed.

An entry stop buy or sell order places an order with the dealing desk of your Forex clearing house to execute your order when the exchange rate touches the level you set the order at. The CMS VT platform guarantees that these types of orders will be filled.

The following link outlines the economic news releases for the week. I find it very helpful because it rates every release in terms of importance on a grading scale of A-D. A denotes very important down to D with little significance to the markets. It even lists what the market expects to happen with the briefing.com forecast.

The most important thing to remember with economic news is that only unexpected news moves the markets.

1 – GDP and GNP

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is a measure of the total value that a country outputs i.e. a reading of all economic activity. The Gross National Product (GNP) is the same as the GDP but it also takes into account a country’s earnings from overseas. To simplify, the GNP measures all the money made by the country’s residents regardless of where in the world they make it. This means that:

· A currency value will increase with an increase in GDP / GNP

· A currency value will decrease with a decrease in GDP / GNP

GDP and GNP are easily calculated and the forecast happens ahead of the news report and so figures only move the markets when the report includes a large difference compared to expected results.

2 – Producer Price Index (PPI)

In your Forex trading course you will learn that these are the prices that producers charge to the retail sector. This is an important indicator as it directly relates to the retail prices charged to the consumer – you. The market is very sensitive to this and unexpected change in the PPI. This means that:

· A currency value will increase with an increase in PPI

· A currency value will decrease with a decrease in PPI

PPI is also affected by overlying commodity prices as this raises the cost of production and therefore the amount charged by producers to retailers.

3 – Industrial Production

This is a set of numbers that show the total monthly output of a country’s entire industrial output including factories, mines and utilities. You should have learnt in your Forex trading course that Increasing numbers in industrial production is a strong indicator of economic growth. This means that:

· A currency value will increase with an increase in Industrial Production

· A currency value will decrease with a decrease in Industrial Production

4 – Unemployment

You will come across unemployment news throughout your Forex trading course as this is the most watched news announcement by most market participants. High unemployment indicates low growth for a country, this is down to the fact that the more unemployed there are in a country the less disposable income and lower spending there is.

Governments use interest rates to try and stimulate spending through lowering interest rates and the cost of borrowing. This means that:

· A currency value will increase with a decrease in Unemployment

· A currency value will decrease with a increase in Unemployment

There is a positive correlation between inflation and earnings. The more buying power within an economy the more demand from consumers thus fuelling increases in retail prices.

5 – Retail Sales

The total amount of merchandise sold with the retail sector of an economy. It is not made up of the sales of every single retailer, but a sample from across a spectrum of companies. The greater the retail sales the higher the spending within an economy. This should increase profits for corporations, greater job stability and a more upwards and positive market sentiment. This means that:

Wall Street may be happy. After all profits are up and rising. However, for those of us in the real estate business exactly where are we. The good news is that rates are stuck in low gear and likely to stay there for the next 12 months. The economies resistance to revival remains stubbornly in place.

Demand for oil in the United States remains tepid driven by the weak economy and by a populace determined to waste no more. U.S. savings is running consistently at over 4% and consumers continue to cut their debt, write off their mortgages through foreclosure, and other debt via bankruptcy. The U.S. consumer is saving cash and reducing outstanding liabilities at an unprecedented level.

Corporations are piling up cash in profits. Yet, Hiring is stuck in near neutral. As of this most recent quarter, the U.S. Federal Reserve predicts that this will remain the case as does a majority of economists around the country.

Foreclosure activity is increasing and the inventory of houses on the market is at 8.5 months and likely to continue rising for months to come because of the increasing foreclosure rate. At the same time, since 2004 the number of renters has increased by 3.4 millions and in the past quarter multifamily and rental vacancy has ticked downward in the face of this mostly discouraging news.

Where does this the leave the real estate industry?

Keep in mind that behind all these statistics, the demographics point to sharply increased renting, steady population growth, and the transition of the Echo Boomer from dependents of their baby boom parents to heads of household. And, the credit effects of the downturn and emerging legislative environment will increase rental demand for years if not decades to come.

Investors and those interested in a rental real estate career are looking into an unprecedented opportunity as housing prices remain depressed and the developing economic environment builds toward a period of what should eventually become an especially strong period economic growth. This growth will be driven by the increasing savings driving investment and the stockpiled corporate profits going toward new business development and expansion. Employment stuck in neutral will likely begin a sharp improvement somewhere in late 2011 or 2012 as the pent up cash supply, the eventual recovery of consumer confidence, and the swelling global recovery begin to drive all factors forward. So, the short answer is buy now if you are an investor. Get into the industry as soon as possible if that is your goal. Seek to strengthen or stay with the industry if you are already in the business.

Remember the days when you pick up a piece of paper and a pen to write, someone had? And then you have to go through the process of writing in an envelope, stamping it and sending it to a post office. All this, and the card you sent at Christmas inevitably come to Easter …

But that was before the advent of the Internet. With the Internet came e-mail, later VoIP, instant messaging and video telephony. Now you can add a letter to someone at the other end of the world, convinced that arrive almost immediately. You can use online conversations and even video chats, then grandma in South Africa to be able to see their grandchildren in Australia and talk to them, as they were in the room were.

This figure also does not communicate in social media like Facebook, Twitter and MySpace, people with many friends simultaneously, as well as post pictures and comments.

Now, with the rise of the Internet, you can not just download an episode of all, if you prefer, you can also download movies, music, games and much more.

There are even games like Second Life, where people are able to connect a virtual world and interact with others. You are able to buy a property, and create works of art have relations.

News

With the Internet came to another form of messages. They used to have to rely on traditional media for your daily dose of news. You know how it went every evening to 7 children should be dead silent, because Dad had to watch the evening news, and rich stories of waiters with the morning paper for their master board. The message was mainly driven for you, you were not able to go in and find different opinions.

Today you are able to go and find news. You can read about the oil spill in the Gulf on the website of Time magazine, then read a different perspective on CNN. The news is not easy, reports by journalists and traditional media. There were many times when new business from smaller sites, blogs, or have been rounded, as in the case of the death of Michael Jackson that TMZ.com was the first report, he was taken to hospital.
