Los Angeles, CA, United States (AHN Entertainment) – Beyonce’s first single from her upcoming new album, “Girls (Who Run the World).” has leaked online and it’s the kind of beat-heavy girl power anthem we’ve come to expect from the Destiny’s Child alum.

The track samples “Pon de Floor” by Major Lazer, a collaborative project between producers Diplo and Switch. The dance hall-inspired track is lifted from their 2009 album “Guns Don’t Kill People… Lazers Do.”

“Boy you know you love it, how we smart enough to make these millions/ Strong enough to bear the children, then get back to business,” Beyonce sings in the song’s verses.

A music video for the track has already been filmed with director Francis Lawrence, who filmed clips for Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, and Janet Jackson. Lawrence told MTV that the video, shot in the Mojave Desert in California, is one of the biggest Beyonce videos yet.

“It is a fantastic song, so I really hope that song catches for her, and I think the video’s gonna be really fun and cool and different for her,” Lawrence said.

“Girls (Who Run the World)” is the first new Beyonce music since 2008′s “I Am.. Sasha Fierce,” which included the worldwide hits “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It),” “Halo,” and “Sweet Dreams.”

Having been a forex trader for 25 years it amuses me when I see writers defend day trading. They say it really can make money! – Of course they have no track record to back it up just empty words. Fact is you are guaranteed to lose in day trading for one simple reason:

All Movements in Short Time Frames Are Random

Trillions of dollars trade hands each day and million of trader’s trade, all with different objectives and opinions and to say that you can predict what they do in a few hours or a day, is ridiculous. You can’t.

Volatility takes prices anywhere in a day and support and resistance levels are meaningless, so you would have the same success rate flipping a coin.

It’s absolutely impossible to get the odds on your side – PERIOD

This is of course why you NEVER see any of the vendors selling these systems give you a real time track record – Why?

Because they don’t dare trade it!

They would rather write some enticing copy and appeal to the greed and naivety of traders and make their money selling you the system – they win you lose – period.

But I have seen a track record you may say and yes will have, but it’s NOT real.

If you check the disclaimer on it you will see there all hypothetical!

What does that mean?

It means done in hindsight knowing the closing prices!

Now who can’t do that it’s not exactly hard.

If we all knew tomorrows price today we would all be millionaires but we don’t – and neither do we know what will happen tomorrow, so there not worth the paper their written on.

Day trading is a good story but the logic doesn’t add up and the biggest lie about day trading is you can make money at it longer term.

If you could you would see a track record or the vendor would shut up and trade it himself and not need your few hundred dollars.

If you want to win

Appreciate that trading is an odds game and to trade the odds you need to trade over longer periods ,where the data is valid and you can have a chance of getting the odds on your side.

Finally

Don’t day trade, get real and trade with the odds on your side.

Before you attempt to day trade or buy a day trading system, there are 3 facts that you need to know, as they are critical for your day trading success so let’s look at them.

1. The Logic Of Day Trading Is Flawed

The logic of day trading is flawed and doesn’t work.

Sure you see lots of people claim to make money at forex day trading but they don’t and you will never find a real time track record of gains – we will come back to this point in a moment, for now lets look at why day trading cannot work.

The answer is simple:

FACT:

All short term volatility is random and prices can and do go anywhere in a day, so if this is true – it’s impossible to win.

Of course its common sense, there is no order to the markets in a just a few hours.

Think about it:

Millions of traders trade trillions of dollars and to say that you tell what this mass of people is going to do in a few hours is laughable.

You can never win longer term day trading so let’s look at all those wonderful track records, that tell you to give up the day job and trade for a living..

2. Where is The Track Record?

You will see people present track records in day trading and they all have hypothetical or simulated written on them – which means yep you guessed it there done in hindsight knowing the closing prices – How hard is that?

A child could do it and these track records are not worth the paper their written on.

You never see a real one!

The vendor knows it doesn’t work so he is not going to risk his money trading – he can sell the system to you, make a guaranteed profit and you take the loss in the market. The above is what happens as these vendors trick traders with simulated track records and clever marketing copy.

Scams on the net

The internet has bought lots of great information to forex traders – but also a lot of scams and cons and the biggest con of all is anyone who tells you day trading works – it doesn’t.

Try and find a track record if you dont believe me – you wont find a real one if you do tell me about it, I have been searching for 20 years.

Finally…

If you want to make money forex trading, you need to trade in time frames that mean you can get the odds on your side and this means trading longer term – leave day trading to investors who are naive, lazy or just dreamers. If you want to win – get the odds on your side and do your homework and avoid forex myths such as day trading.

Day trading is popular with huge numbers of novice traders yet you are guaranteed to lose in the longer term, as the logic it is based upon is simply not true and can never work.

Lets look at the two reasons why if you day trade you will lose.

Before we get started on the reasons why day trading is a guaranteed route to losses lets look at why you see track records with huge profits on many day forex day trading systems.

Here is the reason they all carry a disclaimer like the one below which means they have NEVER been traded:

“CFTC RULE 4.41 – Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not been executed, the results may have under-or-over compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profit or losses similar to those shown”.

So you can make anything up you like and the track record is not worth the paper it’s written on.

What’s the point in having a track record if it isn’t real and also you would think that the person selling the system would actually show confidence and trade it!

The reason they don’t is most are sold by marketing companies looking to dupe naïve and greedy investors. Try and find a forex day trader with a real time track record and let me know if you find one you won’t

So why doesn’t day trading work?

The reason is obvious all volatility in short time frames is of a random nature and all support and resistance levels are not valid.

You cannot get the odds in your favor when day trading and if you can’t get the odds in your favor you will lose – Period.

You simply can’t judge in such a short time span what prices will do.

You have millions of people all with different motivations and personalities and to say you can measure what this vast diverse group will do in under a day is simply destined to failure.

So the next time you see that tempting day trading track record check the small profit, as chances are its never been traded. Then think about the above and you will see that day trading is a total mugs game.
