Help, I am losing all my hard earned savings! My portfolio:
30% in cash. Interest rate is lower than inflation so cash steadily loses its value. Add dollar’s slide abroad and you have over 10% loss p.a.
10% in Icelandic currency that yields 15%. Perhaps the interest rate is higher than inflation but in the last two weeks alone that currency lost 20% to US$! Experts are saying it will drop further.
15% in stocks. Invested in an index fund which is now down 10% in dollar terms (20% real terms). And I read that stocks are still over-valued.
5% in gold and oil through a forex broker. Volatility is so high that my deposit got wiped out twice even though commodities are going up long term. They are now very expensive, should I still hold them and hope to make up the loses?
40% in property. I purchased it a year ago in cash, no mortgage. It’s value is dropping since then in $ terms and in real terms even more…
Seems there are no good investments there days. How come?

I’m a little confused as to when stop losses and trailing stops are actually triggered, when taking into account the spread as well as commissions and rollovers.
For example, if you were to go LONG on a currency pair, is the stop triggered when the ASK or the BID reaches the designated price? I assume it’s the opposite when you’re going SHORT?
For instance, if the spread is 2 pips when you enter LONG, does that mean you’re already 2 pips closer to your stop loss, or that if you set a 25-pip trailing stop, that it’s already down to 23 pips, right from the entry?
Also, are things such as broker commissions (for ECNs) and rollover interest “counted” towards how many pips the price has actually moved against you?
Does it matter what kind of broker it is? For instance, I’m currently associated with MB Trading, an ECN broker. I’m not sure if this makes any sort of difference.

Help! I am losing all my hard earned savings! This is how my portfolio is structured:
30% in cash. Interest rate (2%) is much lower than inflation and my savings are steadily deteriorating every month… Add to it dollar’s steady collapse and you have loss of 2% value every month.
10% in Icelandic currency that yields 15%. Perhaps the interest rate is higher than inflation but in the last two weeks alone that currency lost 20% to dollar…
15% in stocks. Everyone knows what happened… I invested in a index fund which is now down 10% in dollar terms (20% real terms). People around say stocks are still over-valued…
5% in gold through a forex broker – the volatility is so high that my deposit got wiped out twice already even though gold is going up long term…. It is now very expensive, should I hold onto that?
40% in property. Property was purchased a year ago out right so no mortgage, but it’s value is dropping since then in $ terms and in real terms even more…

I’m a novice forex trader who just started trading forex a week ago. I was wondering if anyone had heard or tried the automated forex trading robot like this one http://forextrading.wellexplained.info/ I’m so much attracted to it and planning to get one and try it myself. I read some reviews on it and all of them were positive.
Have you tried it before? Worth buying? Should I give it a go?
