Metatrader 5

Metatrader 5, MT 5 for short has been released June 2010 and represents the actual industry standard for currency trading terminals. Metatrader 5 gives us trader the opportunity to trade not only currencies but also CFD, futures, metals and other financial instruments using one single trading terminal.

Automated Forex Trading vs. Discretionary Trading

2011-01-01T19:29:00.000+07:00

Automated Forex Trading vs. Discretionary Trading

This tutorial is created to show the difference between automated Forex trading and manual trading. The traders often hesitate to use the automated Forex trading and choose the discretionary Forex trading instead, but all can be found out when comparing one to another, so that’s why this tutorial is worth reading.
Automated Forex trading is the way of trading built on using special computer programs (automated Forex trading software) that have been created within the certain data schemes and backtested to prove the possibility to trade and give profits to traders. Programs for automated Forex trading are created and developed by experienced traders in order to help the other traders in their work that is sometimes too hard and requires efforts higher than human nature allows spending. Automated Forex trading is the best way of trading for those who appreciate their time highly and can’t spend all day long by the PC working on Forex. The software for such trading can be downloaded, bought or either created by trader himself thankfully to the special programming languages (like MetaQuotesLanguage).

When comparing automated Forex trading to discretionary Forex trading, there are some aspects that should be examined carefully as they are the most used arguments in this comparison. It’s widely known that two emotions that rule the financial market all over the world are Greed and Fear. Trading Forex involves taking decisions on a daily basis, every day gets a hundred requests to make a decision whether to trade or not, whether to leave operation or not, to close position or not. So no wonder that the trader’s work that’s closely connected to making decisions all the time is either connected to emotional side of life. No decision can be taken without feeling something. But that’s what often leads the trader to the crash of his trading career, as in discretionary Forex trading extrafear or extragreed can lead to bankruptcy. No wonder every trader would like to trade without emotions. As it is impossible to the human nature, it is possible when trading is carried out via automated Forex trading software. The system makes the decision according to the indicators and programmed algorithm, it has the ultra-modern logic that recognizes all the market changes in time, so in conclusion the automated Forex trading is free from the chaos of emotions that the trader feels when he is entering the trade. It protects traders’ money without unneeded thoughts and feelings.
No trader that prefers discretionary Forex trading can trade round-the-clock without eating, sleeping and doing his own things. That’s another minus of the discretionary currency trading – many traders choose intraday style due to the needfulness of the night sleep, but night trades can bring great profits they wouldn’t like to lose. The only exit is automated Forex trading, because the program is not the human and it doesn’t need the sleep at night, so overnight trading without the human intrusion is possible, as it is possible when the trader is up to take a vacation and so on.
Money management is what many traders really don’t care about, and it’s a big danger because money management is created in order to protect the trader from the risk of losses, and it really works. When the trader is serious about his cooperation with Forex, the money management is a must, because the rules that this management is based on are not only simple, but checked on the life experience and proved to be real and helpful. Going into discretionary Forex trading automatically means that trader does all the money management by himself, in the meantime, automated Forex software has the included automatic function of performing all the needed events for careful money management. Some programs have the Stop-Loss function that helps exit the trade that can bring losses in time, and calculate the possibility of losses before entering the trade.
When analyzing the economic indicators and trading conditions, the discretionary currency trading limits trader to a very few indicators possible to watch at the time. While at the same time, when using automated currency trading provides the user a great variety of different indicators and the ultra logical system that takes a trading decision within milliseconds. It’s really precious for those who don’t know whether to trade or not and can’t decide fast. The economic indicators, available in automated currency trading systems, vary by their quantity and quality, so it’s necessary to test systems and compare them in order to find the best one.
While discretionary Forex trading requires deep knowledge about currency trading and everything what is related to it, usage of automated Forex trading systems requires only basic knowledge about Forex. It’s important for those who are newbies in Forex trading business and only learn to trade. Trading goes automatically and the systems are usually user-friendly and can be navigated and learned in an hour or two. So if the trader is new to Forex and just getting used to the rules of trading and so on, it’s highly recommended for him to use automated Forex trading on the way to success.
The other way to success is learning all of the Forex trading tutorials that the trader can find on this site!

Basics about Forex Economic Indicators

2011-01-01T19:26:00.000+07:00

Basics about Forex Economic Indicators

This tutorial is helpful for those traders who are interested to know about Forex economic indicators, as they are really helpful for understanding economic and financial data.
Forex economic indicators are pieces of economic and financial data, which have been published by different governmental or private agencies. These statistics are made public on the regularly scheduled basis, and also they help observers of the market to monitor the economy pulse. So, they are saintly followed nearly by everyone in the financial markets. Forex economic indicators have the great potential of generating the volume and moving market prices, one of the matters is the huge number of people reacting to the same information. While it may seem that the advanced degree in economics would be helpful to analyze and after that trade with more than enough information that Forex economic indicators contain, a few guidelines are really all that’s necessary in order to track, organize and make the decisions about the trading based on the data.

Traders Need to Know When and Which News are Coming Out

A trader should know when every of Forex economic indicators is about to be released. Due to that, it’s necessary to keep the calendar on the desk or trading station. The calendar should contain the date and time when every stat is about to be made public.
Powerful Analytic Plugin for the Metatrader Platform which displays all upcoming News directly on the chart is FX Pulse. Read more about FX Pulse.
It’s helpful to understand which exact economy aspect is revealed in the data. The trader should know which Forex indicators cause the growth of the economy (GDP or Gross Domestic Products) versus those that cause inflation (PPI and CPI or Producer Price Index or Consumer Price Index) or employment. After following the data for some time, the trader can become very familiar with all the nuances of every Forex economic indicator and to what they may be concerned.
Not all of the Forex economic indicators are equal from creating. They may have the equal importance on the time of creating but going the way, some have got the greater potential in moving markets than other ones. Participants of the market will give higher regards on one stat versus another depending on the economy state.
It’s good to know which Forex indicators are the key for market. If inflation is not the most important issue for an exact country, inflation data will surely not be sharply anticipated or reacted on by the markets. From another view, if economic growth is the irritating problem, it is natural that the employment data changes or GDP data changes will be anticipated and could predict the volatility following their release.
Data itself is not so important as the way it falls or not within the expectations of the market. Besides knowing all the times when the data is released, it is life important that trader knows what economists are forecasting for every indicator. Knowing the consequences of the monthly rise in PPI for 0.4%, is not as important in the same way to the short-term trading decisions of the trader as it actually is to know that this month market was looking for PPI to fall by 0.3%. As it was said higher, PPI measures prices and the rise that was so unexpected could be a signal for inflation. Market expectations for all economic events are published on the Web with different sources and the trader should definitely post them onto the economic calendar along to the release data of the Forex indicator.
It’s important not to get caught by the headlines. Part of getting the understanding of what market is forecasting with different economic indicators is knowledge about the key aspects of every indicator. Every trader can tell that concentrating on headline is for amateurs and that the most important and watched detail in the data of payroll is the non-farm payrolls figure. Other Forex economic indicators are alike in the fact that the figure of headline is not nearly as closely watched as the data finer points.
Talking about revisions, the trader shouldn’t be quick to pull that trigger should an exact Forex economic indicator fall aside of expectations of the market. Contained with each new Forex economic indicator that’s been released to the public, are previously released data revisions. If durable goods should rise to 0.4% in this month, while the market is frankly anticipating them to fall, the rise that was so unexpected could happen due to the downward revision to the prior month. Trader officially has to look at revisions to an older data, for in this case, the ex-month’s DG figure could’ve been originally reported as a rise of 0.4%, but now along to the new figures is been revised lower. To, say, a rise of only 0.2%. So the unexpected rise in this month can be the result of the revision to the ex month’s data that has been left downward.
It’s recommended not to forget that two sides of the trade are existing in the foreign exchange market. So while the trader may have a great view to the complete pack of Forex economic indicators that have been published in the USA or Europe, most other countries are also publishing the same economic data. And the very important thing that’s needed to be remembered is that not every country is as efficient as the G7 when it comes to releasing this information. If the trader’s going to trade currency of one exact country, he needs to find out the information about their own Forex economic indicators. As it was already mentioned, not all the indicators carry the equal weight to the markets and not all of them are as accurate as others. So it’s important to pay attention to the information about every particular country and what may result to their Forex economic indicators.
These rules are quite simple to follow, but they give excellent understanding of the market situations and excellent profits as the result.

Basics about Forex Charts and Chart Reading

2011-01-01T19:24:00.000+07:00

Basics about Forex Charts and Chart Reading

If the trader is going into the Forex Technical Analysis, then the word “Chart” is familiar to him. Trend is the friend, and chart is the friend to define the trend. Traders that care about the results of their trading use Forex Analysis and particularly charts, to watch the way the trend goes. This tutorial will guide the beginners through the Forex Chart types and Forex Chart reading.

Line Chart

Line Chart is a simple, but still a very powerful tool for trading. Its power lies in simplicity, because line chart provides easy to understand view over the closing price for some exact period of time. The prices are displayed on the side of the chart, and the dates are displayed in the bottom of the chat. Single line shows the closing price each given day.

Bar Chart

Bar Chart is the most popular chart for watching the price security. It displays the open, high, low and closing price of the security. Each vertical’s bar top shows the highest price traded by security during the period of time, the bar’s bottom represent the lowest price in it’s turn. Closing “tick” can be seen on the bar’s right side to define the last price traded by security during that period of time. If the opening prices are available, they are defined with a tick on the bar’s left side.

Candlestick Chart

Candlestick Charts for displaying the open, high, low and closing prices in the similar manner to a bar-chart, but in a format that extenuates the relation between the closing and opening prices. It’s just the new way of looking at prices, without involving some calculations. Each candlestick shows one period of data.
In order to get profits in the world of advancement and technologies, the trader has to be proficient, and reading, and what is even more important – understanding chart patterns and technical trading indicators. Below in this tutorial there are just some basic points to help the trader understand the Forex technical analysis and currency chart reading.

Price

Price is reflecting the actions and perceptions that have been taken by the participants of the market. It’s the urgency between sellers and buyers in the prices movement creating pit. So it means that all the fundamental factors are discounted in price quickly. So, studying the price charts, trader is able to see indirectly the market psychology and fundamental all in once – afterall, market is fully feed by two main emotions – Fear and Greed, and once the trader is able to understand it, then he begins to understand the market psychology and the way it relates to the chart patterns.
In the data window of the chart the trader can see the following:

O = Opening Price;
L = Lowest Price;
H = Highest Price;
C = Closing price;
Price bars are a linear representation of a time period. This lets the viewer see a graphical representation of a specific time frame activity summarized. The highest point of the bar shows the highest price achieved through the period of time, and the point that is the lowest in its turn shows the price that was the lowest through the same period. Bars that are called regular show a little dot on the left of the bar, which shows the opening price of the period, and the one from the right side, showing the closing price of that period.
The market usually displays some familiar moving price patterns. Once the pattern is established, it is the most possible course of future price action until the time that market changes. Trending and trend-less are two types of market that are important for the beginner to identify. Each type of market has two specific patterns which trader can also notice over time. Trending (steady prolonged price movements with less than 45 degree angle with sudden pauses, resting periods or profit taking) can be uptrends (higher highs and higher lows type) and downtrends (lower lows and higher highs). And trendless market type (erratic movements of price that often steep greater than 45 degree angle and can’t sustain so must reverse) can be divided to choppy (erratic pattern with higher highs and lower lows) and sideways (narrow pattern with lower highs and higher lows).
Uptrend and downtrend days can show excellent results of trading; choppy market creates stop outs usually and sideways can produce little in both directions.
Volume is easy to follow when you know four rules of following Volume:

When prices are about to go up and volume is about to increase, prices will continue rising. Uptrend is confirmed.
When prices are about to rise, but volume is about to decrease, the uptrend may be near its end.
When prices are falling and volume is about to increase, prices will continue falling.
When prices are falling and volume is about to decrease, the downtrend may be near its end.

These are the rules of Forex chart reading and understanding the Forex technical analysis, but trader should remember that despite of reading the tutorials, first times of currency chart reading should be performed only with the help broker.

Forex Analysis – Fundamental Analysis

2011-01-01T19:19:00.000+07:00

Forex Analysis – Fundamental Analysis

Opposite the Forex technical analysis part, this Forex tutorial is created to show the way the major part of Forex Analysis – Forex fundamental analysis is held like, what are the advantages and importance of performing it and make a trader be little more familiar to this type of Forex Analysis – Forex fundamental analysis.
Two major parts of analyzing currency markets are technical analysis and fundamental analysis. One really great and clear difference between Forex fundamental analysis and Forex technical analysis is that first mainly studies the causes of market movements, while the other one is concentrating on the effect of market movements. The last one, Forex fundamental analysis, focuses on the economic and financial theories, developments of politics and determines the supply and demand forces.

Forex fundamental analysis examines the asset markets, macroeconomic indicators and political considerations for the evaluation of one currency in relativity to other. The indicators of macroeconomics consist of the figures like interest rates, unemployment, inflation, growth rates, foreign exchange rates, money supply and productivity. Asset markets include bonds, stocks and real estate. Political considerations are impacting the level of the nation’s government confidence and the stability climate. Government is used to stand in the way of forces of market sometimes. It’s performed with impacting the currencies, hence, intervening to keep the currencies from deviating from the unwanted levels. The interventions of currency have the notable, though temporary, impact on the FX markets and are conducted by central banks. On the other hand, some countries can manage the moving of their currencies, threatening to intervene or merely by hinting.
The basic Forex fundamental analysis theories are PPP (or Purchasing Power Parity), IRP (or Interest Rate Parity), Asset Market model and Balance of payment model.

Purchasing Power Parity

The PPP theory of Forex fundamental analysis claims the exchange rates to be determined by the prices (relative ones) of similar goods’ baskets. Inflation rates changes tend to be offset by equal but at the same time opposite changes with the exchange rate. The example can be shown on chocolates. In the USA, the chocolate costs $2, at the same time in the United Kingdom this chocolate is traded for 1 pound. So according to this theory, the exchange rate of pound to dollar should be 2 dollars for one pound. In the comparison, if the market rate is about $1.6 per pound, then the dollar is said to be overvalued when the pound is undervalued. The PPP theory means in itself that there will be an eventual movement to the 2:1 currencies relation.
In general, this theory has some points of major weakness. First one means that the goods this theory is assuming are easily tradable, with no tariffs, taxes or quotas given as the costs to trade. Another one is that PPP applies the good and ignores services only, with the room for difference in value staying significant. And of course there are some more factors besides interest rate differences and inflations, and these factors are impacting exchange rates too. They are economic reports and releases, political developments and asset markets. The main evidence of PPP’s theory effectiveness was last seen prior to 1990s. And after, PPP was seem to be working only during the long terms (3-5 years or more), when prices were eventually corrected towards parity.

Interest Rate Parity

Interest Rate Parity or IRP claims that the depreciation or appreciation of one currency towards another should be neutralized with the change in the differential of an interest rate. If Great Britain’s interest rates exceed those ones but US, then the euro will surely depreciate towards the dollar by an amount that can prevent arbitrage without risks. The exchange rate of future can be reflected into the forward exchanged rate that exists today. In the example shown higher, the euro can be claimed at discount, because it can buy fewer dollars in the forward rate than in the spot one. And the dollar is claimed to be at a premium.
Sadly this theory didn’t show any proof of working after the 90s. Not mentioning the theory, currencies that showed higher interest rates rather appreciated than depreciated due to the reward of future inflation containment.
The model of Balance of payments holds the fact that a Forex rate have to be at the level of equilibrium (so-called term that means the rate that produces the stable current account balance). A nation that suffers from trade deficit will surely experience the reduction in its Forex reserves, which depreciates the value of currency of this country ultimately. The cheaper currency is rendering the exports to be more affordable on the global market, when the imports become more expensive. When the intermediate period is over, imports force down and exports rise, stabilizing the currency and trade balance against equilibrium again.
As the PPP theory, this one is focusing mostly on tradable services and goods, ignoring the important role of global capital flows. Money are not chasing only good and services, but rather the financial assets like bonds and stocks. The increase in capital flows gave the rise of the Asset Market Model.
The trading of financial assets explosion reshaped the look the traders and analysts give to the currencies. Economic variables like inflation, productivity and growth are not the only currency movements’ drivers, not anymore. The proportions of Forex transactions coming from cross-border financial assets’ trading has dwarfed the extent of the transactions of the currency, generated from services and goods trading. So, currencies demonstrate the strong correlation to asset markets, equities in particular

Forex Analysis – Technical Analysis

2011-01-01T19:16:00.000+07:00

Forex Analysis – Technical Analysis

This one of the Forex tutorials is directed to show the way the major part of Forex Analysis – Forex technical analysis is held like, what are the advantages and importance of performing it and make a trader be little more familiar to this type of Forex Analysis.
Two major parts of analyzing currency markets are technical analysis and fundamental analysis. The last one focuses on the economic and financial theories, developments of politics and determines the supply and demand forces. One really great and clear difference between Forex fundamental analysis and Forex technical analysis is that first mainly studies the causes of market movements, while the other one is concentrating on the effect of market movements.
Forex technical analysis uses volume data and prices of the past to forecast the future movements in price. Also Forex technical analysis focuses on the charts, their formula and formation to capture the trends, identify the opportunities of buying and selling and assessing the extent of turnarounds of the market. Depending on what time horizon the trader is going into, he can use Forex technical analysis either on the intraday (5 or 15 minute or hourly), weekly or monthly basis.
The theories FX technical analysis is based on, divide into the Dow Theory, Fibonacci Retracement and Elliott Low. Each one has the background and rules, which will be explained in the tutorial lower.

The Dow Theory

Dow Theory is known to be the oldest theory in the Forex technical analysis. It states that prices are used to fully reflect all existing information. Knowledge that’s available to participants has already discounted the price action. Forex analysis aims to the studying price action in order to make some conclusions on the future events. The Dow Theory was primarily developed to the averages of stock market, so it’s holding the prices that are progressed to wave patterns, that consist of magnitude divided into three types – primary, secondary, minor. The time involved is ranging from three weeks and less to more than a year. Also retracement patterns were identified (those patterns represent the levels defining the pare moving of the trend) as 66%, 50% and 33%.

Fibonacci Retracement Theory

Fibonacci retracement represents popular series of retracement that’s been based on mathematical calculated ratios, aroused from natural and human-created phenomena. It’s used for determination of the far that a price has backtracked or rebounded from the trend that’s underlying. Main retracement levels are 38.2%, 50% and 61.8%.

The Elliot Wave Theory

The last Forex technical analysis theory, Elliott Wave, classifies the movements of the price in waves that are able to indicate future reversals and targets. It’s the trend that moves the waves that are called impulse, and corrective waves are those that move against the trend. With this theory, they are additionally divided into five and three, primary and secondary movements. A wave cycle is completed from all the eight movements. And the time frames vary from 15 minutes to decade.
Figuring out the wave structure’s relativity is what lies in the challenging part of Elliott Wave Theory. For example corrective wave could be composed from corrective and sub impulsive waves. The key to this theory is to be able to identify the context of wave in questions. To predict the tops and bottoms of future waves people who use Elliott Wave Theory also use Fibonacci Retracements.

“The Trend is Your Friend”

is the most common motto that can be heard about Forex technical analysis. This is true, because finding the trend can help the trader to get the better visibility and becoming aware of the overall market direction. Visibility is really important when there are short-term movements that are able to clutter the whole picture of trend. For working with longer-term trends and identifying them, it’s better to work with weekly and monthly charts. The trader should find the overall trend just once in order to have the ability to select the time horizon trend in which the trader would like to trade.

Support and Resistance Levels

The points where the chart experiences the upward or downward pressure recurring are called Support and Resistance levels. Support level tends to be the low point in hourly, weekly or annually chart pattern. Resistance level is the peak (high) point of the pattern. They are identified to be those levels when showing a tendency to reappear. The support and resistance levels are unlikely to break, so it’s the best way to buy or sell near them. But once they are broken, the levels tend to be the opposite obstacle. When the market is rising, a broken resistance level could serve as the upward trend support, the same for falling market and support level that can turn into resistance.

Trend Lines

When confirming the market trend’s direction, trend lines are simple and in the same time helpful. Straight upward line can be drawn by connecting two successive lows (at least) and the point higher. Continuation of this trend line can help with determining the path that market will move along to. Downward lines are the lines that have been connecting two points and more. Points have to be not located close to each one. Channel can be defined as two trendlines going one paralleled to other, representing the support and resistance level on the charts.

SMA – EMA – SMA and LWMA

For those traders who think that trade is very helpful in Forex technical analysis, it’s also very needful to use moving averages, that tell the average price in one certain point of time over some defined period of time. Adhering to the same time measure, they reflect the latest average, so that’s why they called moving. The weak point of these averages is that they are lagging the market. So, they don’t signal a change in trends necessarily. So it’s necessary to use shorter periods, like 5-6 to 10 days moving averages, than large periods from 50 days and so on.
Averages generally divide into three: Simple Moving Average, Exponentially Smoothed and Linearly Weighted Moving Average.
The information that trader found in this tutorial can give general view to the Forex Technical Analysis, for more, the first times analysis should be performed with the help of broker.

Forex Trading Basics Part 2

This tutorial is continuing of the previous part of Forex trading basics tutorial. Here is some more information about currency trading basics.
The basic entry and exit rules of Forex market are that buying a currency is equal to taking a long position in it, and selling a currency is equal to selling short that currency.

Direct, Indirect and Cross Rates

What’s important about Forex basics are Direct, Indirect and Cross Rates. Direct Rates are the market rates that have been directly traded against the US Dollar. US Dollar is mostly the base currency in the pair, where the quote currency expresses a number of units paid per 1 Dollar. Indirect Rates, in turn, are the rates that express the currency pairs where dollar is NOT the base currency, instead it’s the quote currency counter. Like GBP/USD – that’s the example of indirect rate. Finally the Cross Rates are those stated to the currency pairs where Dollar is none of two currencies that have been traded. Trading two currencies with no Dollar usually mean trading one against the Dollar and then the Dollar against second one. Only few non-Dollar currencies are traded directly, like EUR/CHF or GBP/EUR.

Leverage

What more currency trader has to know about currency trading basics is about the Leverage. Leverage that’s been financed with the credit that can be purchased on the margin account is the common happening on the Forex market. What is margined account? The leverageable one, with the help of which Forex can be purchased with a combination of collateral or cash that can depend on what trader’s broker can accept. The leverage can eventually work against the trader and compound losses. Trader’s deposit collateralizes the leverage in the margin account; the broker can ask the trader to put more cash, sell the part of the position or even close it in case when the value of position is sufficiently breaking. It’s important to check out with the company the trader is working with in order to ensure that there will be no misunderstandings about margin rules, as they may not be regulated in some countries.
Even the small investors are able to trade the large amounts of positions. The amount of leverage the trader uses is depending on his broker and what the trader is comfortable with. These days with the help of some brokers the trader can get leverage from a high as 1%. This means that $100.000 can be controlled with the help of only a thousand dollars. The broker may have a minimum account size typically. This is also known as account margin. Once the trader invests (deposits) his money he is able to trade. In example given above the trader gets the opportunity to take a lot of $100.000 for every thousand dollars he has, so if he deposits the $2.500 the brokers may allow him to trade up to $250.00 of Forex. The broker may also take the minimum security from every operation. In the example above the minimum security is 1%. During the weekends, the margin required by brokers can be higher.
In conclusion, the word about the Forex basics can be said. This is the core the trader must refer to all the time. The knowledge is power. Forex basics is the knowledge.

Forex Trading Basics Part 1

2011-01-01T19:10:00.000+07:00

Forex Trading Basics Part 1

This tutorial is directed to guiding the traders through the very important part of Forex trading. Currency trading basics is the MAIN THING that every and each trader needs to know even before he starts trading. Currency trading Basics is the key to successful trading and the core of knowledge that educated trader needs to hold.

Exchange Rate

All of the trade currencies have been assigned by an ISO (International Standards Organization) code abbreviation. When trading currencies, codes are usually used for expressing which particular currencies match the pair of the trader. Example: EUR/USD shows two currencies, Euro and Dollar.
Exchange rate refers to no more that the ratio of a currency that’s been traded to another. The first one of them is called the base one, the second is the quote (or counter) currency. When buying, the exchange rate can show how much trader has to pay in the quote currency to get one unit of the base currency. When selling, the exchange rate is the one that specifies how much can trader get in the quote currency for selling one unit of the base currency. In EUR/USD Euro dollar is base and American Dollar is quote.

Bid/Ask Price

Exchange rate is usually given as a bid and ask price, where the bid price is always lower than the ask price. The bid price is for representing what will be obtained in the quote currency if selling one unit of the base currency. The ask price in the meantime is representing what the trader has to pay in the quote currency to get one unit of the base currency. The price following is for example of the bid/ask notation EUR/USD: 1.3850 / 1.3851
In this example, the component that stands before the slash is representing the bid price (what trader gets in Dollars when he sells Euro), and the bid price is 1.3850. After the slash there is the second component that’s used to show the ask price (how much trader has to pay in Euro if he’s buying Dollars). The ask price is 1.3851.

Spread

Spread is what the difference between the bid and ask price is called. When looking to the example that’s above, the spread is about 0.0001 – 1 pip. Some currency pair quotes are carried out to the 2nd decimal place, unlike the pair that’s in example higher. USD/JPY for example may be quoted at 119.45/50, so, 5 pips are representing the difference in 0.05 in this case. The pip may really seem small, but nevertheless, the movement of only one pip in one direction or another can be translated into thousands of dollars of gains or losses to the inter-bank market.
If the traded amounts are about $1M and higher, the spread obtained in a quote is normally counted as 5 pips. In the case of trading smaller amounts, the spread is automatically larger. If the trader’s going into trade less than $100.000 spreads of 50-200 pips are common. Credit card companies usually use a spread of 200-300 pips. Banks, institutions and bureaus of exchange use the 200-1000 pips range of the spread (additionally charging the commission of course).
Buying and selling is the important part of Forex trading basics. All trades are containing from buying one of the currencies and selling the other currency.

Buying

(or going long) the currency pair means buying the first (or the base one) currency and selling the equal amount of the quote currency in order to pay for the first one. It’s not really necessary to own the quote currency prior to go selling, because it is sold short. Trader is buying a currency pair in case of believing that the base one of the currencies is about to go up relative to the second one, quote currency, or equally that the corresponding exchange rate is about to go up.

Selling

(or going short) the currency pair means that the trader sells the base currency and buys the quote currency. Selling currency pair is happening when the trader believes that the base currency will go down according to the quote currency, or vice versa.
Another term of Forex basics is the open trade or position, that’s referring to the trade where a trader has bought or sold one currency pair and at the meantime hasn’t sold or bought the needful amount of the currency pair to close the trade maximum effectively. Holding the open trade or position, trader usually waits for profit due to the changes in the price of the currency pair.
Another thing much needed to know in Forex basics is Forex Market Hours. From the first view, it may seem that the multiple Forex markets all over the world and different Forex Trading Times are hard to remember and distracting, but it’s not true. The existing of different markets and the difference of Forex Market Hours leads to success, but only for those who knows how to use it to his own success.
There are 4 main markets, New York, London, Sydney and Tokyo. They work in different Forex Trading Times each, and open the whole variety of trading possibilities to the Forex trader. Forex Trading Times for each market are:
New York – 8 am – 5 pm;
Tokyo – 7 pm – 4 am;
Sydney – 5 pm – 2 am;
London – 3 am – 12 am, all time in EST.

Trading in any possible region is always reaches its highest part during the first business hours, when all the traders at large financial institutions are busy with filling and placing the orders. The most active times are the times when the liquidity is the highest and so is the movement in the markets. These are the London market opening (3 AM EST) and the overlap when the London is closing and New York is opening (8-11 AM EST).

Advantages and Benefits of Forex Trading

2011-01-01T19:06:00.000+07:00

Advantages and Benefits of Forex Trading

Forex benefits are what make the trading on the Forex so different from the trading on other financial markets and additionally so attractive in the eyes of trader. Remembering that Forex is the place of risk, still it stays the place of possibilities and has more advantages when compared to the other markets’ trading. This tutorial is directed on comparing, finding out and showing the Forex advantages and benefits that the Forex trading can give to a particular trader. If the trader has ever thought of Forex vs. Futures comparing, or if not, this tutorial will be helpful.

Trading Round the Clock

The first and the most important Forex advantage is the ability to round-the-clock, 24/7 trading. From morning till next morning, the markets in the different time zones are open and welcome the traders, giving the ability to buy and sell foreign currencies. If some breaking news are coming, traders are always up to respond, no matter when it happens, even if it’s late at night. P&L is never affected by the reports or analyst conference calls that were held after hours.
For the U.S. equities, after hours trading is connected to some limitations, though, the ECN (for Electronic Communication Networks) exists to get the buyers and sellers all together when it’s possible. But still there is no guarantee that every trade will be held, and no guarantee for a fair market price. So it’s quite logical that frequently traders have to wait until the market opens again in the next day for receiving a tighter spread. OTC (for Over The Counter) cash market is never traded on the organized exchange markets like the NY Stock Exchange or other stock exchanges that’s been institutionalized. So, the OTC market and its liquidity has to move around the world continuously, and never “closed” during the week long to allow the day sessions with all their variety and overnight sessions for all the type of traders. OTC market is as well based on the global market pricing politics for currencies that’s made by banks and foreign exchange dealers. The global foreign currency dealers’ and banks’ majority are compensated with the difference between the bid/ask spread in the currency price, that’s been offered to the traders who are participating, and (or) the ability to accumulate the positions on the proprietary basis, continuously assuming the risk of the net open positions that’s they been carrying. Through it all, it should be kept in mind that trading Forex involves really significant loss risk and private traders should only use true discretional capital when trading. The leverage that’s been offered in Forex trading is typically so much greater than the one that’s been offered in the Futures market, but it can work against the trader if something happens and trader is wrong. So traders should always be aware of all the risks associated with Forex currency trading before entering the trade and should take some time for self-education on managing risks that can happen while trading. Forex vs. Futures is the battle won by Forex, but it’s recommended to remember that all the advantages can play against the trader in some moment if trader’s not careful.

Liquidity

Next one of the Forex benefits is really superior liquidity. With a daily trading volume known to be 50x larger than one of the New York Stock Exchange, there are always some brokers or dealers who is willing to sell or buy currencies in the FX markets. The superior liquidity of foreign exchange market – especially one of the major currencies – helps reach the price stability. Traders are almost always opening or closing a position at the fair market price. Forex vs. Futures: due to the trade volume that is lower, the ones who invest in Futures are more affected by liquidity risk, and that results with a more wide dealing spread or some larger price movements responding to any large transaction.

Leverage

Leverage is next one of the Forex advantages. 100:1 leverage is commonly known and available from online Foreign exchange market dealers, and this substantially exceeds the 2:1 margin offered from the equity brokers. Traders post $1000 margin (or 1%) for a $100.000 position at 100:1. The substantial leverage that’s been available from firms that go into online currency trading is a really powerful tool that can bring a lot of money. Leverage is essential in the Forex trading. It happens because the average daily percent of moving of a major currency is less than 1%, when the stock can easily perform 10% price moving on any particular day. The risks of the margined trading should be managed, and the most effective way is to follow a disciplined trading style that holds stop and limit orders. This is a possibility of another great Forex trading benefit – Automated trading.
Many professional currency traders use automated Forex trading systems to make sure that they don’t miss trading opportunities. The main advantage from automated Forex trading lies in the opportunity to transmit account, trade and money management to a computer program which monitors the market on behalf of the trader. In other words, the computer program releases the trader from the routine market watching and the execution of trade operations. The Stop Loss orders, which were talked about higher, is the great advantage of using automated Forex trading systems too.

Forex vs. Other Financial Markets

Comparing Forex to other markets, it is really much more cost-efficient to choose Forex for trading. Most Forex brokers offer their traders access to all of the relevant market information including trading tools on the free basis. If the trader’s using the stock market, the commissions can range from $7.95-$29.95 per one trade using online discount brokers and to $100 or more using the full service brokers. Another important point about commissions is the width of the spread on bid/ask prices. Not mentioning the deal size, Forex spreads are usually counted in 5 pips or less (pip is about the .0005 US cents). Generally, width of the Forex transaction spread is normally less than 1/10 of a stock transaction that could include a 1/8 wide spread.
The last but not the least Forex advantage is about the profit potential in both rising and falling markets. In every open Forex position, the investor is long in one currency and, naturally, short in the other. A short position is that one where trader sells a currency anticipating its depreciation. This means that falling market can bring the trader the potential of profit either.
These advantages are surely very convincing in choosing the Forex market for trading.

History of Forex Part 2

History of Forex Part 2

In year 1944, the world economy was devastated and exhausted by the two wasting wars, that left a scar on the currency trading too. The trade flows had almost stopped and the free movement of gold was nearly impossible. To restore the international economic system, something had to be done immediately, without hesitation. Almost all the countries realized that the world has changed; the war experience emphasized the importance of joint efforts and cooperation for getting good results.

As the continue, 45 countries gathered on a conference in Bretton Woods, Great Britain in 1944, to set up a system of rules, institutions and procedures to regulate the international monetary system. The purpose of the conference in Bretton Woods was to prevent the reoccurrence of the dreadful events like the Great Depression of the 1930 and to secure the world economy, additionally helping it to recover from the postwar crisis.
The results of this conference played the great role in Forex trading history, and they came with the following facts:

Finally setting up of a fixed exchange rate system, linking the US dollar at the rate of 35$ per ounce of gold, while all other currencies were defined in relation to dollar. Thus, the role of the world leading currency shifted from pound sterling to dollar, and the international economy became dollar-centered (which remains to be truth till the present day, actually). Most international transactions began to be denominated in USD.
Beginning of Foreign exchange as we know today. It became possible due to fact that world currencies started to be pegged against one another.
Establishing the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the main regulating monetary institution in the world. IMF was designed to be the keeper of the rules and the main instrument of public international management. Its role is also to be an advisor on monetary policies for the countries of the world and to finance trade deficits.
Creating the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), now the most important agency of the World Bank Group. IBRD focused on promotion of world trade and financing the post war reconstruction of Europe. Now it is charged with making loans for economic development purposes.

But after some time, the Bretton Woods system started showing some disadvantages. The world economy finally started recovering, which seemed the certain plus and advantage of the system. The volume of international trades flashily increased, and this led to the massive movements of currency. The fixed foreign exchange rates which were set up according to this system, quickly destabilized and became senseless in the new conditions. So strange, but the positive economic trend was not positive at all and resulted in the negative financial effect.
An attempt to stabilize the situation within the framework of the Bretton Woods system was made in 1971. It was called the Smithsonian Agreement and was held under the U.S. leadership. According to the Smithsonian Agreement, the dollar was devalued to the rate of 38$ per ounce of gold in an attempt to balance the world financial system. However, the problem with all this was the fact that dollar was no longer suitable for the role of the sole international currency. Thus, the efforts to develop a new system of international monetary management failed.
Eventually it all ended with the Bretton Woods system collapsed in 1971, resulting with the fact that dollar was no longer convertible into different goods. This inevitably initiated the rise of the floating exchange rate.
But the significance of the Bretton Woods’ page of Fx history for the world economy can’t be underappreciated. The time of this system was the time when the entire world financial system was rethought and reinvented to achieve results. The whole economic psychology was changed. The Bretton Woods system was one of the important steps to the growing globalization.
After all, the world got the new page in the Foreign exchange history and the floating exchange rate system as the monetary system that’s existing since 1970s till the present day. After abandoning the system of fixed exchange rate, the market forces (like supply and demand) were left free to regulate exchange rates basing on their supposed values. Within this monetary framework, there is no single international currency, but there are more than ten currencies which are called most traded (still US dollar being on the first place). The modern Forex market is the result of implementing floating exchange rate system in the 1970s, and since and thankful to that time Forex has developed into the one of the largest global markets. Of course, many factors played the part in this. Primarily, this is the development of technology and heavy use of computers and the Internet. The capital started moving without any borders. The possibility to make trading and do transactions even from a home computer appeared (this was the opening of the electrical part of Forex history). More with this, trading on Forex is done 24 hours without a stop, since the important Forex trading centers are located in all time zones, from Asia through Europe to America. When one time-zone trading session ends, the session in another time-zone starts.
In floating exchange rate system the rate of exchange is determined by the supply and demand of the currency in the market. For example, the higher is the demand for a certain currency, let’s say, US dollar, the higher its value will be. If the demand for the currency decreases, its price decreases, too. The floating exchange rate is changing continuously, which allows the participants of the Forex market to buy currency for the lower price at one period of time and sell it at much higher price at another, thus gaining profit.
However, there is the reverse side of this phenomenon – the traders can buy currency expecting to sell it at a higher price, though, some factors may influence the market, and the price for this currency will decrease despite the prior expectations, and they will lose the profit. In fact, Forex market appears to be very sensitive and susceptible to the influence of various factors, in particular political, economic and even psychological.
Still, there have been many changes in the world monetary systems since 1970s till present. The most significant is the introduction of Euro as the single European currency in 2001, and since then it has become one of the most popular and most traded currencies.

In concluding of this whole Forex trading history tutorial, the history of Forex does not embrace a very large period of time. In fact, it can be referred to two last centuries, while the period when the modern Forex started forming actively refers to the 1970s only. So that means that in fact Forex is a rather “young” phenomenon. Three important events in the history of Forex can be defined: the Gold Standard, the Bretton Woods system and floating exchange system. However, it should be remembered that since Forex is regulated by market forces, its state is changing constantly. Every day can bring the events that would change the face of existing economic system and make history. So, the history of Forex is being created every day and even every hour!

History of Forex Part 1

Forex traders learn all the tutorials carefully to get to know the insider’s part and rules of Forex trading. But when it comes to Forex history, sometimes it is skipped as something not so important comparing to other topics and tutorials. But that’s completely wrong. History is the basic and the core of every discipline, and considering Forex trading as discipline, Forex history is the core of it too. Learning the foreign exchange history, trader can self-educate himself and get the required knowledge on the economical mechanism, that rule the Forex trading market and all the areas around it.
The following events will be explained in this tutorial:

The Gold Standard
The Bretton Woods System
Fixed exchange rates
The International Monetary Fund (IMF)
Floating exchange rates
Smithsonian agreement

Part I

Foreign exchange as the happening had appeared in the very early periods of human history. Tribes and people had to exchange some goods one for another. The value of each good was expressed in the quantity of other goods. Such currencies as stones, sticks, shells, teeth and so on soon became the criterion of other goods’ prices. But this money surely was insecure, so the people switched to the more reliable goods soon. But of course no talking of foreign exchange in its real way can be held on this stage of Forex trading history.
Foreign exchange in fact appeared with the appearance of so-called bills, or paper money that served instead of different currencies in the Middle Ages. But still the main historical events and economic happenings that led to the establishment of the Foreign Exchange Market as we know it today happened later, or exactly in XIX-XX centuries.
With the start of using of paper money, the advantages of this form of money over the metals became obvious. Still the value of the national paper currency was determined only due to the gold reserves of some certain country. The more gold was lying in the reserves of the particular country, the more power and value had its currency. The name of this system was The Gold Standard. The leading currency of that time was surely pound sterling, though it was the most gold-supported currency. So as the result, England became very authoritative country among the currency markets at that time

Thankfully to the scientific and technological progress, by the end of the XIX century the world economy started developing really quickly, with the speed that world has never known before this. Because of these conditions, the people started to understand the way the world economic activity tends to work, and it was working in cycles, from prosperity to recession and again. Surely it was what affected currency exchange rates greatly. From that time national currencies could devaluate and revaluate in a boom-bust regime. Inflations could replace economic growth on the instant (which happened very frequently at that times in almost all European countries, and the US even faced the Great Depression), because it often turned out that the supply of paper money in a certain local country did not always correspond to the gold cover of this country, and nobody was responsible for that.
This ongoing volatility of the Golden Standard system and the lack of universal rules regulating currency relations were highly inconvenient for the most governments. However, then there was World War I, and that initiated the greatest changes ever in the world economy, and in the sphere of the currency market in particular. Here where’s the second part of Fx history comes
