This is how my Forex VPS solution will look like
Hello.
I know there are a few readers of this blog who happen to trade the Forex market like I do, so I figured I’d also make a post on this blog as well like I did on my dedicated forex blog in regards to the forex vps hosting solution that I’ve been working hard to put together.
I’m glad to report that I’ve been making good progress, and that I can now finally show you screenshots of how the metatrader (MT4 for now and MT5 later) forex trading platform will look like running on a VPS account. Please check them out over at my forex blog:
http://alansforexblog.com/2011/04/07/my-forex-vps-solution-will-look-like-this/
I’d also like to add that if you like to use forex robots (ie automated trading systems often called “expert advisors”) then you’re going to love the VPS platform. It will be simple to upload forex robots to your VPS account and the forex robots will be running on a very reliable Linux based platform in a super high end data center (Rackspace).
So I hope all you forex traders will checkout the above link and the various other related posts regarding this VPS solution.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Cheers,
Alan
My own Forex VPS solution – anyone interested?
Hello everyone.
Alan here with an important announcement geared
toward all of you who trade foreign currencies (forex) like me.
I am seriously considering putting together my own Forex VPS
solution and I thought I’d send out an e-mail to see if any of
you would be interested in signing on board.
I’m not sure how many of you know what a forex VPS or even a VPS is
all about so I’ll briefly explain it here. Those of you who already
know this stuff can just skip it.
Basically a VPS is a dedicated computer/server that is hosted in a
high-end data center with a very high speed and reliable internet
connection. This VPS server’s job is to run your forex trading
platform and any forex robot(s) (automated trading systems, also
known as expert advisors) you may wish to use. It is the ultimate
in piece of mind for traders. IT ensures that power outages, slow
home internet connections, and other such problems do not affect
the performance of your trading applications. I think that every
trader should use a VPS solution if they’re serious about what
they’re doing.
Suffice it to say that what I have in mind to setup will be a very
advanced platform. It will be Linux based so you can’t get virus
infection, it will be rock solid stable, it will be portable
(you can log into your vps platform anywhere in the world), and
last but not least it will offer you unlimited bandwidth plus
unlimited memory usage – so you can run as many forex robots (EAs)
as you’d like.
Platforms that will be made available: MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and
MetaTrader 5 (MT5)
Latency?
The vps servers will be spread across 3 data centers – US, UK , and
Hong Kong. I will configure your VPS account to use the server
which is nearest to the MT4 server of your chosen broker thus
providing the lowest latency connection possible.
One thing that may interest affiliates and system sellers/marketers
is whether we will have an affiliate program. The answer is yes.
You can even have it so that your clients will not have access to
whatever EA you’re selling but merely “lease” it while running on
the VPS account.
To launch this venture I’d need about 100 clients to start.
What about cost?
Well, I did some research and I decided that given the fact that
there will be no bandwidth and memory restrictions then $45 /month
would be a reasonable price to ask. Most other forex vps providers
charge double!
So whoever is seriously interested please let me know by signing up
to the interest group mailing list I setup for this purpose. Here
is the link:
http://forms.aweber.com/form/61/1676955861.htm
If I get 100 or more people on board then I’ll get the wheels
rolling and in a short while the vps platform will be made
available.
If you have any comments or suggestions feel free to e-mail me or post a comment.
P.S. Feel free to share this info with your forex trading friends
and associates.
Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Alan

The Dominos Are Lining Up for a Sovereign Debt Crisis!
 |
Boy, what a week! I’ve been warning about a troubled euro and a building sovereign debt crisis for some time. And the bond and currency market activities this past week are a clear example that the momentum is picking up.
There’s a bumpy road ahead … and not just for Greece.
For those of you who aren’t closely monitoring this drama in Europe, you should be. As I’ve explained in recent Money and Markets columns, the events in Greece will likely impact your investments and the economy, both in the U.S. and abroad.
And if you haven’t followed the events of the past five days, here’s a brief recap of what’s transpired, the impact on global financial markets, and what to expect from here on out …
First, the Greek government’s official request for a rescue package from its European partners and the IMF did not calm fears. Instead, the Greek bond market shifted into another gear of panic. Investors and speculators rushed out of Greek debt, driving up two-year borrowing costs for the Greek government to over 18 percent.
But that wasn’t all. The contagion factor started rearing its head.
The grim outlook for Greece sent investors and speculators looking at the next likely victim, Portugal. And Portugal’s debt was aggressively sold, sending yields jumping to more than three times the levels of early last month.
And downgrades soon followed. S&P downgraded Portugal’s credit rating two notches and downgraded Greece by three notches, to junk status.
There was more …
With the Portugal domino starting to wobble, the biggest, most threatening weak spot in the euro zone, Spain, came under the spotlight. As a result Spanish bonds were dumped, and S&P responded in kind, with a downgrade on Spain and warnings of possible further downgrades.
 |
| The stability of the whole euro zone is at stake. |
All of this sent the euro tumbling further, and sent shockwaves through global financial markets.
This is a scenario I’ve expected to unfold since Dubai failed to make good on their sovereign debt last year.
And these recent events in Europe are just a few more steps in what will likely be early innings of a full blown global sovereign debt crisis.
For those who have convinced themselves that a V-shaped economic recovery is underway, and that the problems in Europe will stay in Europe, they should be very careful.
Here’s why …
The Global Picture
This most recent recession shares two key features found in three other recessions in the past fifty years:
1. Global synchronization — According to the IMF, at the trough of the recent recession a whopping 65 percent of world economies were in a recession, too.
2. Financial crisis — In recessions associated with a financial crisis, the recoveries were slower because households are in saving mode, credit is tight and demand is weak.
And based on the IMF’s study of 122 recessions, for recessions that coincide with financial crisis recoveries tend to be slower. In fact, advanced economies should expect 5+ years of weak economic activity.
It all boils down then to knowing where the global economy stands after emerging from the most severe economic downturn since the Great Depression. For that answer, let’s look at:
The Four Stages of Collateral
Damage of Past Financial Crises
Stage #1—
Deficits …
When tax revenues decline and government stimulus spending rises, countries tend to swiftly turn budget surpluses into deficits. And for countries already running deficits, the deficits just get bigger.
Stage #2—
Debt …
Facing weak growth and dwindling tax revenues, those deficits turn into debt. Soaring debt with questionable growth prospects ultimately flash warning signals to global investors.
Stage #3—
Downgrades …
Those warning signals turn into credit downgrades.
Stage #4—
Default …
 |
| “Markets tend not to discriminate as much when there’s panic.” —Ken Wattret, European economist, BNP Paribas, London |
And finally, credit downgrades tend to drive borrowing costs higher, which can force the fiscally fragile into default.
History also shows that sovereign debt defaults can be contagious.
Whether or not Greece receives funds from its European partners, the structural hurdles facing Greek put a default scenario squarely on the table.
Perhaps that’s why the head of the IMF planted the seed last week, noting his plans to discuss a debt restructuring with Greece as part of the Greek rescue agenda.
Nonetheless, the dominos for a sovereign debt crisis are clearly in line.
As fears over deficits and debt continue to spread, expect the problems in Europe to test the lifespan of the euro, and ultimately present challenges to global financial markets and global economic recovery as fears spread to the UK, Japan and the U.S.

I Found a Forex LIVE Trading Room that did 1,000 Pips in February
You probably already know that 90% of Forex Traders do NOT profit consistently, or even close to it.
And if you can’t profit consistently in Forex, what’s the point of throwing your money away over and over again?
So, most people therefore eventually do one of two things:
A) Spend thousands for a “professional” trader to show them how to trade properly and still be clueless in the end.
OR
B) Buy junk ebooks, robots, and signal programs that prove to be worthless over and over again!
Needless to say, these bogus services all turn out to be junk. But what about all of the so-called Forex “pros” out there? Well, not very many of them will actually trade in-front of you everyday in a live Webinar…
However, this guy I recently found, is the real deal…
Mr. Colin Atkins started trading Forex about 10 years ago, and is now one of those mysterious 5% of hugely successful traders unlike the other 95% of us.
What he’s done, is created a LIVE trading room where members may log-in 5-days a week, 3-sessions daily and can simply watch him trade (a few trades per session, nice and simple) and duplicate what you see him doing. It’s truly simple stupid.
He averages around 60+ Pips a day (plus his long term trades he emails us) , and managed to do over 15,000 pips in the in these first 9 months of opening up the room! Yes, I know… Insane.
So really, anyone who can simply watch this guy trade can duplicate his winning trades!
No more “signals” or “systems” that never work for any of us. This guy is going to be in the same trades with you, and talking to you live. It doesn’t matter what your Forex experience is, you can finally achieve what you’ve been trying to do…
Stop wasting your money on junk, or thinking that one day you’re going to magically win all your trades.
You’re never going to achieve the results you want. You need to trade with a true professional… Become a professional trader by Colin’s next live trading session and start trading successfully the way you’ve always wanted to…

Good Trading!
Your chance to be mentored in Forex by a 35+ year market veteran
It’s time for you to finally start making money in the Forex market.
Over the past week, trader Bill Poulos “spilled the beans” on
the top 4 problems his coaching students face with their Forex
trading…
-and then he showed 10,000+ regular folks just like you how to
solve those problems on a special “three-peat” online training
session.
As of this writing, 4,075 of those that attended his training
have already applied for more information on his brand new
“Forex Profit Accelerator Group Coaching Program”, which just
went live today…
-but the sobering reality is that there’s no way Bill can take
on that many new students, so if you have ANY interest in
finally becoming an Independent Master Forex Trader, you need to
move quickly.
——————————-
YES, 20 MINUTES OR LESS A NIGHT
——————————-
I’ve seen a LOT of Forex educational programs online, and here’s
what stands out about what Bill’s doing with this time-limited
program:
1. He has a totally unique twist on Forex trading that he
specifically designed for BUSY PEOPLE. Essentially, he shows you
how to treat the 24-hour Forex markets as “end of day”
markets… so you make all your trading decisions for the day in
20 minutes or less…
2. He’s giving you most of the benefits of 1-on-1 coaching
(which can cost $15,000… $20,000… or MORE) at a FRACTION of
that investment…
3. PLUS… he’s throwing in his time-tested Forex Profit
Accelerator home study course if you’re able to get into his
group coaching program before it closes…
All-in-all, it’s one of the most generous, solid Forex training
programs I’ve ever seen.
So if you want to:
* Quadruple your profit potential…
* Start with a $500 trading account…
* Trade in 20 minutes or less…
* Enjoy high-probability, lower-risk trades…
* Never have to suffer huge losses…
* and finally become an Independent Master Forex Trader…
…then check out the open enrollment letter Bill put together
for you:
http://www.smartforextraining.com/y/?i=773362&u=1&l=f91
If you think 2010 is YOUR YEAR for finally mastering Forex,
I hope you get into this program in time before it closes.
Good Trading!
p.s. I’ve seen this developer’s trading programs disappear in a
matter of days in the past, and it’s a near certainty it will
happen again… so IF YOU VALUE YOUR TIME, I really urge you to
check out his letter here, and then ask yourself how what he has
to say stacks up against how YOU currently trade:
Free “end-of-day” Forex group coaching program
Dear Forex traders,
Here’s the scoop…
TOMORROW, on Monday, March 8th, 2010, the doors finally open to
35+ year market veteran Bill Poulos’s brand new “end-of-day”
Forex group coaching program.
As is par for the course with Bill’s releases, he’s limited the
number of new students he lets in to the program.
So to further help “weed out” the tire-kickers, Bill just
released a TON of extra Forex training materials that he put on
a special Member’s Website Preview for you.
Here are just a few of the goodies you’ll get on the preview
site, beginning TODAY:
** Preview access to his PIP FEEDER service where you can get
daily lists of the Forex pairs that have met his rigorous
trade alert criteria. In fact, these are Forex pairs that
have a high probability of entering into potentially
profitable positions any day now. He’ll eventually be
charging $197/mo for this service, but you can see a sneak
peek for a few days.
** The “Pip Vault”, which contains actual Forex trade example
“screen capture” videos, so you can see exactly how you
can trade in less then 20 minutes a night.
** Day-by-day “trade diaries” that show you the trading
decisions Bill has made each night on some really
great trades (you’ll also see a trade that’s not really going
anywhere yet, and how he manages that situation).
** Previews of the actual CD-ROMs that ship with the course so
you can see exactly the type of material that’s on them.
** and a TON more…
But don’t take my word for it. Go ahead and check it out now by
visiting the web page here now:
http://www.smartforextraining.com/y/?i=773362&u=1&l=f90
Your username is: readyto
Your password is: enroll
Good Trading!
p.s. This complimentary preview access will be expiring in a few
days, and likely taken offline, so I urge you to get in now
while you can if you have any interest learning how to
dramatically up your “pip potential” while saving hours a day at
the same time.

Forex Smart Start Profit Strategies
(This post contains your access instructions
to a ‘closed-door’ Forex group coaching
training session on Wednesday.)
Over the past year, one of the top Forex educators has
quietly coached a handful of regular folks just like you on how
to become what he calls “Independent Master Forex Traders”.
His goal is to take average, ordinary traders who are among the
90% that consistently LOSE…
-and turn them into independently-thinking, precision trading
MACHINES that are among the 10%… the 5%… or even the top 1%
of Forex traders on the planet.
But here’s the problem for most people: 1-on-1 coaching can be
downright EXPENSIVE, like $15,000… $20,000… or MORE.
That’s just not realistic for most people.
HOWEVER… what if you could be a “fly on the wall”, listening
in to a private, closed-door Forex coaching training session,
picking up the “tried & true” profit strategies the “elite” hold
close to their vest…
Well, that’s what’s happening on Wednesday, March 3rd.
This 35+ year market veteran is giving you a sneak peek inside
his “trading vault” on a brand new, complimentary training
session he calls:
>>> Forex Smart Start Profit Strategies <<<
He yanked his most popular Forex tips & techniques straight out
of his high-end coaching program, and he’ll be revealing them
all you to on Wednesday.
You’ll learn the top 4 instant tweaks you can make TODAY to
protect & grow your Forex portfolio FOREVER, including:
* How the crummy economy & chaotic world events create MASSIVE
amounts of profit potential in the Forex markets (including at
least 5,604 potential pips in just the past few months using
these specialized techniques)…
* How to dramatically reduce your “time in the trenches” trading
Forex by spending only 20 minutes a day. These 2 discoveries
make it all possible…
* How to reduce your risk in a trade to ZERO with this simple
profit-taking trick (HINT: it’s the complete opposite of how
most traders think about going after a profit)…
* How to automatically get an edge over other traders by
entering the market at these high-probability “sweet spots”…
* The telltale signs a market “hurricane” is about to hit, & how
to protect your portfolio by avoiding these dangerous & risky
market conditions…
* The simple, time-saving, step-by-step mechanics of placing a
trade using real broker-provided trading software…
…and much, much more…
The information in this training session is so critical, that
it’s being held 3 different times on Wednesday, March 3rd in
order to fit your schedule:
* 12:00pm Eastern (New York Time)
* 4:00pm Eastern (New York Time)
* 9:00pm Eastern (New York Time)

attendees, so to reserve your place, make sure you register here
right away:

Good Trading!
p.s. I don’t think I’m supposed to tell you this, but I found
out that if you attend any one of the 3 training sessions on
Wednesday, you’ll get a chance to download some additional
complimentary training videos & ‘action manuals’ torn straight
from the presenter’s high-end coaching program.

The Forex Robot World Cup Launch
Some interesting stuff is happening in the commercial forex trading systems world. The Forex Robot World Cup – the biggest and most important Forex robot competition in the industry (or so its organizers claim) – is due to be launched today Feb 16 at 9:00AM EST. Thus average forex trading Joes like me and you can gain access to the hot-shot forex robots that won the competition.
From what I can gather there is a lot of buzz around their Fusion-V 1.1a robot which according to their sales page produced a return of 355.46% in just 19 days. They do backup that claim with a real money FXCM trading account performance statement which can be seen at the very top of their sales page.
Price wise access to this (and other future) hotshot forex robot will set you back exactly $999 USD. Is it worth it? Hmm, good question. I’ll refrain from passing judgment until I get my own copy and put it to the test.
If you’re feeling adventurous I suggest you visit the Forex Robot World Cup homepage to either find out more or to purchase membership.
As always I’ll make sure I keep you all up-to-date regarding my performance testing once I get my own copy.
I wish you all happy and profitable trading!
Cheers,
Alan
