Finance Your Dream Holidays With Forex Trading

Written by Frederic Ebner on . Posted in Culture, living.

Thanks to forex trading, dream trips can now become reality. Relaxing on white sandy beaches and marveling at breathtaking landscapes – traveling to distant destinations is an absolute lifelong dream for many. In order to really get to know the culture of a country and experience what everyday life is like in another place, this usually requires a length of stay that goes beyond that of a normal vacation trip. But how can such a dream trip be financed when your own income is just enough for the bare essentials? Forex trading offers an attractive opportunity to earn additional income, as financial expert Frédéric Ebner knows from his own experience. He himself discovered forex trading around ten years ago after a difficult financial start-up phase and has developed into a real trading professional. He now feels at home in several places around the world and also enjoys the advantages that forex trading brings for globetrotters. What is Forex-Trading? Forex is the short form for foreign exchange. FX trading refers to foreign exchange trading in which the parties involved (mainly major banks, but also companies and private traders) exchange currencies for other currencies. The forex market is the largest financial market in the world with a volume 20 times that of the stock market. How does forex trading work? Trading does not take place via the usual stock exchange (or a bank custody account), but via a non-public OTC market operated by a network of banks. Access to the foreign exchange market is via a certified broker. This broker provides a trading platform via which various currency contracts can be concluded. The main aim is to buy currencies and sell them at a later date at a favorable exchange rate. Currency pairs are always traded – one currency that is bought or sold and a second currency with which the transaction is settled. The trader forecasts how individual currencies will develop in value in relation to each other and positions his transactions accordingly. The world as a trading place Whether relaxing in a deck chair on a secluded beach or in a state-of-the-art office in the big city – as forex trading takes place online, it can be carried out from almost anywhere in the world. The only requirement is Internet access, an access device such as a PC, laptop or smartphone and a broker through which the transactions are processed. New traders can acquire the necessary basic knowledge in online courses.… weiterlesen

Longing for serenity

Written by Corinna von Bassewitz on . Posted in Culture.

To be sure, the great time of travelling has not yet returned. A short trip to Cocoa Island and Maalifushi in the Maldives is a good start to what is still to come. The resort of Como Cocoa Island on the South Malé Atoll is a 40-minute speedboat ride from Velane International Airport on the main island of Malé. A first feeling of happiness sets in after the nine-hour journey from Germany: The air is soft, the yacht flies over thousands of shades of blue. It is a spectacle that only the Indian Ocean around the Maldives can produce. The capital Malé, its skyline rising into the sky like a Little Manhattan, recedes from view. The strange world as we were used to it for so long now fades in my memory. Soon we docked at the Jetty: palm trees, sun, the air measures a pleasant 30 degrees, I stepped onto a tiny island in the middle of an infinity pool called the Indian Ocean. General Manager Oscar Perez of Como Cocoa Island pushed an open coconut into my hand. I didn’t have to think long: this is paradise. What you experience when you walk barefoot on the sand is an overwhelming feeling of freedom and happiness. First stop: Como Cocoa Island With a length of only 350 metres, Como Cocoa Island offers an amazing variety: a sandbank, for example, which extends to 800 metres at low tide in the turquoise water and a house reef with an impressive tropical underwater world with colorful clown fish, eagle rays and black tip sharks. It’s located behind the overwater villas, a few steps down from the sun deck and you’re ready to snorkel. After all, more than 20 dive sites can be reached within 30 minutes by boat from the resort. Reef diving, wreck diving and night snorkeling are on the agenda at the Padi-certified dive center. Instructor Hussein Sharmeel, nicknamed “Sharky”, is the master of ceremonies for the underwater expeditions. The understated aesthetics of the reception and the only restaurant blend harmoniously with the vegetation of frangipani, breadfruit and banyan trees. A hammock is set between two palm trees; it doesn’t get more relaxing than this. The infinity pool is on the sunset side of the island. The Faru beach bar next to it offers drinks to match the psychedelic natural spectacle as the sun disappears in slow motion behind the horizon.… weiterlesen
