Five reasons why VIPortal must take blame for giving Kenyans the wrong view on forex ~ forex currency trading demo

It seems that our analysis on VIPortal incorporated, a Kenyan forex entity, is not going away any day soon. Let it be known that we have nothing against VIPortal. We only think that we owe it to the unsuspecting public which has a right to know, online forex being an unfamiliar terrain to many Kenyans. 

Online forex trading is considered as such because of the
limited interaction between the forex trader and the market maker, who is basically the forex broker. Try and fix VIPortal into this scenario and you will be left wondering whether VIPortal is trying to redefine the meaning of online
forex trading or whether what they are attempting to do is what forex brokers should actually be doing. It cannot skip our minds that VIPortalhas also branded itself as an ECN provider. We will not delve into that discussion today. Let it be the subject of another occasion. Today we only aspire to show how VIPortal Incorporated has misled the Kenyan public interested in the trading of forex on what online forex trading actually entails?

1.      Forex brokers are market makers

Being a market maker simply means that you provide an avenue through which forex traders will buy or sell any currencies,  metals or any other commodities. In a sense you have to be trading against the client so that when the client buys it implies that you have sold. So far VIPortal has not shown that it has been a market maker to over 8,000 of its clients. When most these clients first opened accounts with VIPortal, the entity had no Meta trader 4, which it has recently acquired. Yet majority of Kenyans I have interacted with on matters forex now believe that what VIPortal has been doing is what the typical forex broker does. That is, taking money from the client and trading on their behalf. That belief is wrong. The best a forex broker can do is to assign a trader to an account manager who guides the trader on when and how to trade on any platform registered in the full names of the trader. I highly doubt if any of VIPortal’s clients can see the results taken on their behalf for the past few months through the Meta trader platform.

2.      Forex brokers have different payment options

VIportal seems to be the de facto neteller ambassador in Kenya. Neteller is a money transfer system that allows transfer between merchants and individuals. You could compare it to Lipa na Mpesa. We wonder whether during the signing of trading contracts clients were notified that they could only be able to withdraw their money through Neteller accounts. If VIportal is on some affiliate program with Neteller one can only try and guess how much money they have made from each of their clients that opened a Neteller account to get their money back. The Kenyan public should know that forex brokers provide various ways of cash deposit and withdrawal depending on what is convenient to the trader. Some of those ways include depositing or withdrawing by wire transfer, debit card, credit card, skrill or moneybookers, Paypal and many other ways. If VIportal is on an affiliate program with Neteller their clients must be let know under the principle of full disclosure. But as matters currently stand, all its clientele believes that Neteller is the only way to get their money back.

3.      Hedge funds are the only certified entities that trade for individuals and organizations

VIPortal is not a hedgefund and as such should not be taking money from its clients and trading on their behalf. It claims that its staff constitutes traders rated from three stars to five stars. Were the clients provided with the trade records of all of VIPortals traders so as to ascertain whether they were capable of bringing profitable returns to the trader’s accounts? I doubt. Probably no client asked to be furnished with such information; not because they lacked the guts to inquire but because they do not know that before anybody handles your trading account you need to see a certified document showing all the trades they have taken for a given period of time in a real trading account. Hedgefunds generally trade for others because as the name suggests they hedge their positions so that the loss they make in one trade is covered by the profits in another trade taken at the same time.

4.     Studying how to trade forex online should not be that expensive

Forex trading is not an elitist profession. It is the only sphere where even college dropouts can do much better than those with master’s degrees. And just if you did not know, you do not need a university degree to trade forex online. Of course VIPortal has in no way made forex seem like a science, but it has been charging abnormal amounts to those who would want to learn how to trade forex. In a previous article we attempted to answer the question whether forex trading can betaught. VIPortal’s high fees could be as a result of enjoying a monopoly due to their permanent presence unlike most self declared Kenyan forex tutors without addresses who disappear soon after getting hold of your money. What any Kenyan aspiring to learn how to trade forex should know is that there are many online forex tutors that charge far less to train anyone on how to learn to trade forex online. And you will be surprised to discover that most of what you will be taught after paying over Kshs. 100,000 for an advanced course at VIPortal is actually available for free in an online forex forum. They probably copied the course from one of those forums.

5.      Forex trading is not all about prayers

I am not discouraging anyone from sticking to their pious lives, but what you should know is that as a trader the market cares less about your background. Forex trading is not a sphere where you sow a seed (panda mbegu), and have profits henceforth. Bad trades in this sphere are not rebuked through biblical versus- it is a centre of realism. You are either profitable or a loser. Most of VIPortal’s reply to those with questions concerning its activities has been bible based. Visit their facebook page and you will discover that any concern raised is often rebuked through some verse from the New Testament. Forex is a murky world and most of those learning to trade under the tutorship of VIPortal will be devoured by this world when they open live accounts. My only hope is that they have not been insisting on the power of prayers to any of their students when it comes to the trading of forex. For forex trading is all about eating your just desserts.

It is our hope that you now know what it means to be an online forex broker. You also now understand that you can actually ask to be paid back your investment through any means other than Neteller as long as your contract did not spell out the means of getting your money back.

What are you doing with your online forex profits - automated forex news trading

What are you doing with your online forex profits ~ automated forex news trading

Death is inevitable yet it is uncertain when it comes. A lot of Kenyans have invested in the online forex market and a good number of them receive their daily bread from online forex trading. But what really happens to our investment as forex traders when we die? Who takes away the trading capital in our forex accounts when we die? Could it bethe forex broker? Probably, I’m not certain.

The truth of the matter is that when we die, unless we brought somebody to the knowledge of our forex investment and returns therein, there is no way to know who actually takes away our forex trading capital. As Kenyans we work hard in all our endeavors and it is a sad fact that when we die everything we’ve done to make our online forex accounts profitable and the entire forex capital therein remains with some other person. Even if the forex broker provides us with some little assurance that our families may claim on our behalf, there is just no mechanism to make sure that everything in our online forex account reach those that we prefer when we die.

There are a million and one ways through which any Kenyan can meet his or her death. Terrorist attacks are on the rise, road carnage is spiraling up and even stray bullets once a while picks on the innocent. Unless you are diagnosed with a terminal illness like cancer, no Kenyan ever gives much thought to the advantage of writing and leaving back a will. Most Kenyans die intestate hence depriving their dependents the enjoyment of their investment whether it derives from the online forex market or any other source.

Below are some of the things that any Kenyan engaged in online forex trading can do to minimize the dangers of losing everything in their forex accounts when they die.

Withdraw the profits you make in online forex trading

Unless your forex trading account is so small, there is really no need for any Kenyan to put all their money in the online forex trading account. As a successful online forex trader, you will make profits through winner trades and it is important that you withdraw your profits to improve your standard of living. Do not let the money you are not using to trade forex to lie idly with your forex broker in your online forex trading account.

Every Kenyan with a sizable forex account and with a successful forex trading history should therefore withdraw the profits they gain from online forex trading. This withdrawal could happen at the end of every month or as frequently as you may agree with your forex broker. Only your trading capital should be available in your forex trading account.

With an unexpected death, the effect of a sudden death will not deprive entirely your Kenyan family or any other dependents from enjoying your investment in the online forex market. The process of proving death of any Kenyan to an online forex broker based in London or New York can be tedious and a discouragement. There are legal issues involved such as getting probate. The cost of recovering the forex investment could in the end be higher than the amount in the online forex account. You see, online forex brokers don’t provide certificates like share certificates issued by listed companies. With a share certificate it is easier to ascertain the benefit or loss of going after the investment. This form of certainty is not available in an online forex trading setup.

Inform a family member or a close friend of your online forex investment

The dangers of being secretive is that you go into your grave with a lot of information. In a way it affects your legacy negatively because you leave nothing for those that come after you. Your absence is no longer felt and even if others might term your departure as a terrible loss, they really don’t mean it. All Kenyans engaged in online forex trading must inform a close family member or friend of their investment. It becomes easy to know where to start from if some information is left behind. Let a family member know the online forex broker you are using, the amount of forex capital in your forex account and how long you have been trading in the forex market. This is a simple safeguard requiring no legal formality. It simply involves opening up to a trusted family member or Kenyan friend. Open up to avoid the dangers of living your entire forex investment to the moles.

Write a will

A will should be written by every Kenyan. The agony you cause your family and dependents when you die without leaving a will are far greater than the agony caused by your death. Make a will and let it speak for you after you are gone. The will keeps your authority, it controls the excesses of greed by dishonest family members, keeps the family united and positively impacts on your legacy. Include your online forex trading account in the will. Give the details of your forex broker. You could even provide your forex trading name and account password in the will. Keep the will with a lawyer or someone you trust. It will be a life well lived.

Safety measures are necessary because we are never sure of when we may breathe our last. Every Kenyan with an investment in the online forex market should adopt one of the above safety measures. They are all simple things to do and involve little or no money. The concept of being too secretive is born out of individualism and personal greed. You will not trade forex in your grave.
