Fibonacci Retracements

2008-12-29T22:42:01Z

Fibonacci retracement levels are a sequence of numbers discovered by the noted mathematician Leonardo da Pisa during the twelfth century.

These numbers describe cycles found throughout nature and when applied to technical analysis can be used to find pullbacks in the currency market.
Fibonacci retracement involves anticipating changes in trends as prices near the lines created by the Fibonacci studies. After a significant price move (either up or down), prices will often retrace a significant portion (if not all) of the original move. As prices retrace, support and resistance levels often occur at or near the Fibonacci Retracement levels.

In the currency markets, the commonly used sequence of ratios is 23.6 %, 38.2%, 50% and 61.8%. Fibonacci retracement levels can easily be displayed by connecting a trend line from a perceived high point to a perceived low point. By taking the difference between the high and low, the user can apply the % ratios to achieve the desired pullbacks.
One final word of advice: Don't get too caught up in the mathematics involved in putting together each study. It is much more important to understand how and why studies can and should be manipulated based on the time periods and sensitivities that you determine are ideal for the currency you are trading. These ideal levels can only be determined after applying several different parameters to each study until the charts and studies begin to reveal the "details behind the details."

How Currency Exchange (FOREX) Market Works

2008-12-28T23:12:16Z

I bet you are well aware of the existent of Forex trading nowadays. Forex market exists wherever one currency is traded for another
Forex, or Foreign Exchange Market, is
generally works as an international currency exchange market. Investors and speculators are allowed to trade currencies from all around the world thru Forex trading.

Forex is a very unique type of trading where traders are buying and selling 'money' in the same time. The trades are done in pairs, such as Euro/JPY, USD/CHF, and CAD/USD. It is the world largest trading market where an average of $1.9 trillion trades is done on a daily basis. The turnover rates in FOREX are nearly 30 times larger than the total volume of equity trades in United States.

Despite its large volume of trades done daily, Forex is relative new to the publics nonetheless. It is only made available to publics in year 1998 where big sized inter-bank units are sliced into smaller pieces and offered to individual traders like you and me. Before that, Forex is a game only for banks, multi national cooperation, and big currency dealers. Only those with large business size and strong financial background were permitted to trade foreign currencies.

Oil Prices Near $35 On More Dour Economic News

2008-12-24T23:39:26Z

Oil prices near $35 per barrel before the holiday as bad economic news keeps coming
HOUSTON (AP) -- Crude prices tumbled Wednesday following a raft of bad economic news and growing stockpiles of unused gasoline that suggested demand for energy has continued to erode.

Light, sweet crude for February delivery fell $3.63 to settle at $35.35 in a shortened day of trading. Prices fell as low as $35.13 just before the market closed for the holiday.

It was the ninth straight day that crude has fallen.

Investors expecting more evidence of slowing U.S. energy demand got a bit of a surprise as the Energy Department reported crude inventories dropped last week.
But Americans continue to cut back on driving amid the worst recession in a generation, leading to growing stockpiles of gasoline and eroding demand for motor fuel.
Gasoline futures plummeted below 80 cents a gallon.
"I don't see anything out of this report that's really going to change this downward move," said Jim Ritterbusch, president of energy consultancy Ritterbusch and Associates. "Things are going to remain under downside pressure through the balance of this year and probably into the new year."

A steady stream of dismal U.S. economic and corporate data during the past few months has hammered investor confidence and sent oil prices reeling 74 percent since July.
More bad news emerged Wednesday with consumer spending falling for a fifth straight month in November, the longest weak stretch in a half century, while incomes declined under the weight of massive job layoffs.
Separately, new claims for unemployment benefits rose more than expected last week, as layoffs spread throughout the economy, more evidence the labor market is weakening as the recession deepens. The Labor Department reported initial requests for jobless benefits rose to a seasonally adjusted 586,000 in the week ending Dec. 20, from an upwardly revised figure of 556,000 the previous week. That's much more than the 560,000 economists had expected.
Manufacturers are slashing energy use as well. Orders at U.S. factories for big-ticket manufactured goods fell again in November, reflecting further setbacks in the battered auto industry and a big drop in demand for commercial aircraft.
For the week ended Dec. 19 crude inventories fell by 3.1 million barrels, or 1 percent, to 318.2 million barrels, which is 9.1 percent above year-ago levels, the Energy Department's Energy Information Administration said in its weekly report.
Analysts had expected a boost of 1.5 million barrels, according to a survey by Platts, the energy information arm of McGraw-Hill Cos.

Gasoline inventories rose by 3.3 million barrels, or 1.6 percent, to 207.3 million barrels, which is 2.4 percent below year-ago levels. Analysts expected stockpiles of the motor fuel to rise by 900,000 barrels.
Demand for gasoline over the four weeks ended Dec. 19 was 2.7 percent lower than a year earlier, averaging nearly 9 million barrels a day.
At the pump, retail gas prices fell less than a penny overnight to a new national average of $1.655 a gallon Wednesday, and remain well below the year-ago average of $2.972 a gallon, according to AAA and the Oil Price Information Service.
In a separate weekly report, the EIA said natural gas storage levels in the U.S. tumbled last week but remain 3.4 percent above the five-year average for this time of year. The EIA said natural gas inventories held in underground storage in the lower 48 states slipped by 147 billion cubic feet to about 3.02 trillion cubic feet. Analysts had expected a drop of between 142 billion and 147 billion cubic feet.
Oil traders so far have brushed off attempts by OPEC to boost prices through production cuts. The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, which accounts for about 40 percent of global supply, said last week it would slash production by 2.2 million barrels a day, its largest single cutback ever. The most recent round of cuts would reduce OPEC production by more than 2 million barrels per day.
OPEC may meet in Kuwait City on Jan. 19 to discuss further production cuts. The group's next official meeting is March 15 in Vienna.
The fall of benchmark crude on the Nymex has been paralleled by steep declines in Brent futures traded on London's ICE exchange.
Trader and analyst Stephen Schork noted that Brent crude has dropped "in 79 of the last 123 sessions ... by a total of $108.05 a barrel" -- a 73 percentage point loss.
On Wednesday, February Brent crude slumped $3.75 to settle at $36.61 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange.
In other Nymex trading, gasoline futures tumbled by 6.3 cents to settle at 79.27 cents a gallon. Heating oil plunged 12.8 cents to settle at $1.1983 a gallon while natural gas for January rose 17.3 cents to settle at $5.91 per 1,000 cubic feet.

Economy declined 0.5 percent in third quarter

2008-12-24T00:06:40Z

Fourth-quarter economic decline likely to be worse than 0.5 percent drop in third quarter

WASHINGTON (AP) -- As the longest recession in a quarter century intensifies, analysts believe the small decline in economic activity in the third quarter has worsened significantly in the current fourth quarter.

The Commerce Department said Tuesday that the gross domestic product, the broadest measure of economic health, declined at an annual rate of 0.5 percent in the July-September quarter. Corporate profits fell 1.2 percent.
Some economists believe the economy's decline in the October-December period could be as large as 6 percent. If so, that would be the worst quarterly drop since 1982.
"It will get a lot worse before it gets better," said Nariman Behravesh, chief economist at IHS Global Insight, a Lexington, Mass., forecasting firm. "We are in the midst of the worst recession in the post-war period, even factoring in a massive stimulus program."

GDP is likely falling at a sharper pace in the current quarter because of widening fallout from the worst financial crisis to hit the country since the Great Depression. If GDP did plunge as much as 6 percent in the fourth quarter, it would be the sharpest quarterly decline since a 6.4 percent drop in the first quarter of 1982.

Many economists think this quarter could mark the low point of the recession, which is already the longest in a quarter century, having started in December 2007.

Analysts are projecting that the huge plunge in GDP they expect in the current quarter will be followed by smaller declines in the first and second quarters of next year, before the economy starts growing again next summer. If the recession ends in June 2009, as many economists are forecasting, it would have lasted 18 months, making it the longest recession since World War II.
The Bush administration said the country should be prepared for worse news to come.
"The fourth quarter, because of the credit crisis, the standstill in credit as markets froze up and the financial market turmoil, will be significantly weaker," presidential spokesman Tony Fratto told reporters at the White House on Tuesday.
Evidence of the current troubles came in two other reports Tuesday showing that sales of both existing and new homes fell by more than expected in November.
The Commerce Department said new home sales dropped 2.9 percent in November to an annual sales rate of 407,000 units, the slowest pace in nearly 18 years.
Meanwhile, the National Association of Realtors said sales of previously owned homes, the far bigger part of the market, fell by 8.6 percent to an annual rate of 4.49 million units.

The median sales price of an existing home plunged 13.2 percent in November to $181,300, the biggest year-over-year drop on records dating to 1968. The median, or mid-point, price for a new home sold in November dropped by 12.7 percent to $220,400.
Sung Won Sohn, an economist at California State University, said that while the fourth quarter is likely to suffer the biggest dropoff in activity, future quarters could see sharp declines as well, given the shock the economy has been dealt from the financial crisis.
"People who think this may be a run-of-the-mill recession may be mistaken," he said. "Everybody is counting on a massive economic stimulus from the Obama administration, and hopefully that will help, but as time goes on, I am seeing more and more downside risks."
Investors, who have likely priced in very low economic expectations, seemed relieved Tuesday that the reports weren't even worse than they were. In midday trading, the Dow Jones industrial average fell 54.48, or 0.64 percent, to 8,465.29.
Broader indexes were also lower. The Standard & Poor's 500 index shed 6.69, or 0.77 percent, to 864.94. The Nasdaq composite index fell 9.11, or 0.59 percent, to 1,523.24. The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies fell 4.56, or 0.96 percent, to 470.51.
The 0.5 percent drop in GDP in the third quarter followed a 2.8 percent increase in the spring, a period that was boosted by the distribution of millions of economic stimulus payments.
President-elect Barack Obama favors a massive second stimulus measure of around $850 billion, which Obama is pushing Congress to pass early next year to limit the severity of the downturn.
For the government's last look at third quarter GDP, there were only minor revisions. Spending by consumers plunged at an annual rate of 3.8 percent, slightly larger than the 3.7 percent fall reported a month ago. It was the biggest decline in consumer spending, which accounts for two-thirds of economic activity, in nearly three decades, since an 8.6 percent drop in the second quarter of 1980.

Residential construction, where the current economic troubles began, fell at an annual rate of 16 percent in the third quarter, while non-residential construction, which had been buffering the construction industry, faltered as well, dropping by 1.7 percent.
The 1.2 percent fall in corporate profits followed a 3.8 percent drop in the spring and represented the fifth straight quarter that corporate profits have fallen.

The National Bureau of Economic Research has said that the country slipped into a recession in December 2007. In the October-December quarter of 2007, the GDP was falling at an annual rate of 0.2 percent. GDP then grew by 0.9 percent in the first quarter and 2.8 percent in the second quarter before falling by 0.5 percent in the third quarter.
While a common rule of thumb for a recession is two consecutive quarters of falling GDP, the NBER uses other data to determine when recessions begin and end, including employment statistics. The economy has lost jobs every month since January. It's shed 1.9 million payroll jobs this year, including more than a half-million jobs lost just in November. The unemployment rate now stands at a 15-year high of 6.7 percent.
Congress enacted a $700 billion rescue program in October, and the Federal Reserve has expanded its loan programs by hundreds of billions of dollars as the government has tried to combat the credit crisis. But all those efforts have so far failed to prompt banks to resume more normal lending patterns.
As a consequence, many businesses are struggling to attract the financing they need. The weakness is spreading around the world, which has been bad for U.S. exports.
Peoria, Ill.-based Caterpillar, the world's largest maker of mining and construction equipment, said Monday that it would cut executive compensation by up to 50 percent next year due to slower demand amid the global economic downturn, becoming the latest of several large firms to slash compensation in an effort to lower costs.
Earlier this month, Memphis, Tenn.-based FedEx Corp. said it would cut pay for senior executives and freeze 401(k) contributions for a year, while AK Steel Holding Corp. of West Chester, Ohio, said it planned to reduce pay for salaried employees by 5 percent in 2009.

The recession already is the longest since the 1981-82 slump, which lasted 16 months.
Rep. Barney Frank, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, said Monday he is preparing legislation to require that some of the bailout money be spent for specific purposes, such as stemming foreclosures and reducing mortgage rates. Frank is pushing to get the second half of the $700 billion rescue fund released next month, before President-elect Barack Obama is inaugurated.
Frank's bill would impose tighter restrictions on the second $350 billion, such as requiring banks to report on their new lending every quarter and toughening limits on executive compensation. Many U.S. banks have received federal capital in an effort to stimulate lending.

New Solution Delivers Foreign Exchange Exposure Data from Leading ERP Systems in Seconds

2008-12-15T21:44:18Z

Free Webinar Highlights How Corporations Can Eliminate Foreign Exchange Surprises By Leveraging Oracle E-Business, SAP ERP, PeopleSoft Enterprise or JD Edwards EnterpriseOne
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FiREapps, the leading provider of foreign exchange exposure management software, announced a new webinar event focused on how multinational corporations can reduce business costs related to foreign exchange surprises by leveraging data within existing SAP ERP, Oracle E-Business, Peoplesoft Enterprise or JD Edwards EnterpriseOne systems.

Entitled, “ERPs & Foreign Exchange: How to Calculate and Manage FX Exposure ASAP,” the webinar will explore more efficient and accurate automated processes that enable corporate treasurers to generate complete data sets and calculate foreign exchange exposures quickly and easily. FiREapps automates the process of aggregating business system data to derive actionable transaction currency information for foreign exchange exposure management in seconds, rather than days.

“Multinational corporations struggle to get complete foreign exchange exposure data out of their ERP systems, and often, the exposure calculations they derive from that data is suspect,” said Wolfgang Koester, CEO of FiREapps. “Through FiREapps, we have created a solution for treasury departments that leverage their ERP systems to provide quick and simple access to the transaction data they need to quantify and manage foreign currency volatility.”
Relying on manual processes, experienced treasurers find that they are unable to derive complete and accurate transaction currency data from their ERP systems in a timely manner. The common use of spreadsheets to calculate foreign exchange exposures based on this data introduces errors and uncertainties into the process. As a result, most treasury departments are unable to understand the sources of their exposure, or adequately protect their company from foreign currency volatility. FiREapps enables corporate treasurers to efficiently access transaction currency data from ERP systems in a way that allows them to focus more of their energies on the root causes of foreign exchange exposures – by entity and at the transaction level.

“Before using FiREapps the process to compile an exposure data set from Oracle was entirely manual,” said Brent Callinicos, vice president and treasurer for Google, Inc. “FiREapps was quick and easy to install and has given us centralized and constant access to all foreign currency exposure data throughout our business units. We can now devote our time to strategically managing exposures.”
The “ERP systems & Foreign Exchange: How to Calculate and Manage FX Exposure ASAP” webinar will be held on Wednesday, December 17, 2008 at 11:00 a.m. PST / 2:00 pm EST. Participants will learn about the challenges that companies face managing transaction currency data within their ERP system, and how to overcome them with an automated solution

Interactive Data paid approximately 2.4 billion yen (or approximately U.S. $25.8 million based on current foreign exchange rates) in cash to acquire 79% of NDF, of which 64% was purchased from NTT DATA Corporation and 15% from certain minority shareholders.

At present, NTT DATA Corporation retains a 10% interest in NDF with other minority shareholders collectively owning the remaining 11%. Interactive Data plans to work with NTT DATA Corporation for a smooth transition of the business in Japan and to acquire the remaining equity of NDF over the coming years.

Don't Lose Your Money in the FOREX Market - Have a Strategy

2008-12-05T02:01:11Z

The promise of "Easy Money" captures the interest of many beginning traders. You can find offers all over the Internet claiming, "risk free trading", "low investment", and "high returns". While there is some truth in this statement you will find that they are over simplified and the reality of FOREX trading is a little more complicated.

It is very tempting to dive right in and start trading as soon as you open your FOREX account. Doing this will most likely lead you to make the two most common mistakes of beginning investors. These are trading based on emotions and trading without a philosophy or strategy. While watching the movements of a currency pair you may feel that you are letting an opportunity pass by if you don't get involved.

So you buy only to see the price start moving against you, in a panic you sell at a loss, to then watch the price recover.
You must have a rational strategy and not base any decisions on emotion. Undisciplined trading like the scenario described above will only lead to losing money.
You have to be well educated in market movements to make rational trading decisions. You must be able to read technical studies and analyses and use that information to plot out entry and exit points. You must be able to use the various types of trade orders available to maximize your profits and minimize your losses.
The first thing you have to do is to understand the market and the forces that move it and affect it. Learn who trades on the FOREX market and why do they do it. Who are the successful traders and what do they do that makes them successful. By doing this you will be able to identify the successful trading strategies and use them to help you develop a strategy of your own.

Banks, Corporations, Governments, investment funds, and traders are the major groups of investors in the foreign exchange market. While they all have their own objectives four of these five all have one thing in common. They have external controls; these are rules and guidelines that control the trades that they make and the basis that they can be held accountable to. The exception to that are the individual traders, they are accountable only to themselves.
A trader that enters the market with out rules and guidelines is setting himself or herself up to lose money. The "big boys" and the well educated investors all approach trading with strategies, if you want to play on the same field with them and be successful you will have to play by the same rules. You absolutely must have a trading strategy, and you will need to be disciplined and follow it.

Money management is a critical part of every trading strategy. Along with knowing which currencies to trade and how to recognize entry and exit points as successful trader must has to manage his available resources and make money management part of his trading plan. Available capital, margin and profits and losses must all be considered as part of strategy development.

Fundamental Analysis and Financial Statements

2008-12-04T20:38:30Z

Forex fundamental analysis involves examining the intrinsic value of a nationʼs currency based on economic news releases that reflect the strength, or weakness, of a countryʼs economy.
Fundamental traders follow these news announcements, known as "fundamental indicators," because they paint a picture of a currency's strength in relation to other countries.
Fundamental indicators are reports that include statistical data on things such as employment, gross domestic product (GDP), international trade, retail sales, housing, manufacturing, and interest rates.

The stability, growth, or decline in any of these sectors may have an effect – direct or indirect – on the value of a countryʼs currency.
Central banks play a key role in the Forex market because they have the responsibility of changing the countryʼs "base" interest rate. A central bank has to find a fine balance when setting interest rates as it wants to maintain growth in the economy, but at the same time it has to be careful to curtail inflation.
The bankʼs decisions on whether to raise, cut, or hold the interest rate fuels speculation in the Forex market, where the value of a currency, or group of currencies, changes in real time.
In addition to information about a country’s
economy, the value of a currency is connected to national and international political events, elections, and changes in government trade policies.
The prices of sensitive commodities like oil and gasoline are an important fundamental indicator as high prices can hurt consumer spending and confidence, and curtail the activities of certain businesses and government services.

Natural disasters, terrorist attacks, and militarily actions in a sensitive region cause instability in the world and have a significant impact on the Forex market as they develop. These types of evens can be hard to predict in advance.
The ability to identify trends in macroeconomic indicators and reading central bankʼs current and future actions is a valuable tool that comes from following financial news, watching the markets, and trading Forex.

Predicting Future Forex Trends For Profits

2008-12-04T20:07:10Z

Fundamental analysis can be defined as the macro or strategic assessment of where a currency should be trading based on the movement of the currency's price itself.This is often highly dependent on the economic condition of the country of that currency, monetary policy, and other "fundamental" elements.
The analysis is performed on historical and present data, but the objective is to predict the future trend.

Economy condition reflects how the country is attractive for foreign investments and capital inflow. In general it can be said that the better the macro economic indicators – the stronger the domestic currency is.
According to Fundamental analysis, the markets may misprice in the short run but the "correct" price will eventually be reached. Profits can be made by trading the mispriced and then wait for the market to recognize its "mistake" and reprice the security.
Traders may use fundamental analysis within different portfolio management styles. Buy and hold traders find out 'good' buys from the past trend which can lower their risk and probability of wipe-out. In fundamental analysis you make your own decision rather than going by the apparent movement of the market.

Analyzing Economics and Macro Forex Factors
With fundamental analysis, one can find out if the prices in the market are undervalued, overvalued, or working in a fair value by applying the concept of intrinsic value as the market price tends to move towards its intrinsic value. If the intrinsic value is above the current market price, the investor would purchase the currency and if it is below, the investor would sell it from the portfolio or take a short position.
A top-down trader starts the analysis with global economics, including both international and national economic indicators, such as GDP growth rates, inflation, interest rates, exchange rates, productivity, and energy prices. The bottom-up investor starts with specific currency pair, regardless of their current position.
So we come to the conclusion that as a trader in Fundamental analysis market one would require to take help of Fundamental analysis along with Technical Analysis methods to maximize the gain by correctly recognizing the market trends.

Forex Fundamental Analysis

2008-12-04T19:38:21Z

There are two major methods of analysis used in forecasting the behavior of the Forex market; they are Technical analysis and Fundamental analysis.
They differ greatly but the trader can apply both to complement and supplement the study of the market for achieving superior results.
They also have the same goal i.e. to predict a price or movement of the market. The technical analysis studies the effect while the fundamental analysis studies the cause of market movement.

Fundamental Analysis has a very broad spectrum. One aspect looks at the general or qualitative factors; the other side considers tangible and measurable i.e. the quantitative factors.
Use Fundamental Analysis With Technical Analysis
In general the fundamental analysis method looks to forecast the future of price movements based on events that have not taken place yet. Important factors and statistical methods are used to predict how these events will affect supply and demand and the rates of the Forex.
We must remember that Fundamental analysis and Technical analysis are not the reliable factor on their own, but each needs to be used in conjunction with the other to form opinion about the changes in the Forex market.

Fundamental analysis is therefore the method of forecasting the future price movements based on economic, political, environmental and other relevant factors and statistics that are going to affect the basic supply and demand of the market.
A fundamental analysis involves in-depth study of the market. It focuses on what is going to happen in a market based on supply and demand, seasonal cycles, and weather and government policy.

The Forex Market Draws Traders

2008-12-04T03:18:41Z

Millions of people are drawn to the Forex market
, the biggest financial market on the globe. The Forex market its where it's at when it comes to investing and currency trading and is one of the fastest growing investment forums to date. Although the Forex is called a "market", it is not a traditional "market" as all trading is conducted over the telephone or via computers - there is no central location for the trading in any country. The Forex market is a cash inter-bank or inter-dealer system that was formed in 1971, at the time when floating exchange rates came about. Today the Forex is enormous with over 3.5 trillion levels exchanged each day, making it, without a doubt, one of the most popular forms of trading worldwide.

Availability
Perhaps the best feature of the Forex market is that it never closes. The Forex market is open all day long every day of the year. There are people in every country that are waiting to trade whether it is 2:00 in the afternoon or 2:00 in the morning. No matter where you are or what time it is, you can expect to find trading occurring in full force. The availability of the market makes it very appealing. Ultimately when dealing with foreign currency, the forex market must remain open for 24 hours due to time differences. As a result of this availability, traders are able to capitalize on the wide open trading times and eliminate the sense of anxiety as to what could be happening overnight in closed markets.
Excitement

The Forex market, along with its never ending trading, is attractive to many traders because of the excitement it brings. Trading can be very exciting - the Forex market offers never ending excitement for those willing to partake. With $1.5 to $3.5 trillion dollars per day, the Forex market has nearly perfect liquidity. The size alone makes this market a joy ride for traders. If you are looking for endless excitement, you will be glad to know that you can certainly find it in the Forex market. Unlike the other markets, the Forex market is great because you can enjoy that excitement all day long. You won't have to deal with the anxieties that occur with other markets after closing time. You can know that no matter what, the Forex will be open and you will be able to deal with business as needed. This adds a fun element to trading as removes the stress related to other markets.

Opportunity for Everyone
Previously the forex market has been only for the rich. Today however, the Forex market is open to smaller scaled traders as well. Most of the traders are actually doing their business from home. Lower margin requirements are very attractive to smaller traders allowing them to participate with larger traders on the same scale, but from a more equal position. With the Internet thriving and continuing to grow each year, home based traders can now get in on the game with larger traders via their computer. It used to be that only large traders could access the Forex at any level. Today, the Forex market is for everyone.

What Is Forex Market

2008-12-04T02:51:25Z

The forex market, or foreign exchange market, is a trading market where people will trade currencies around the world. The forex market is like the stock market
in that money is traded and that people on the forex market can gain or lose money in trading, but it is much larger than any other market out there. That is because all kinds of monies are being traded at any time of the day.

Like with stock market prices currency exchange rates will change every day and can be different at any time of day. Therefore, it will be important to watch how your forex market investments are doing so that you do not lose any money in your transactions.
Also, you should understand that the forex market is open all day long. There are major forex market trading areas around the world, including locations in London, New York, Zurich and Tokyo. There is always at least one forex market trading area open during the day. The exchange rates will be different throughout the day, especially when the forex market in one city closes for the day and another at a different point in the world opens.

There are many different currencies that are being traded on the forex market. These include the American, Australian and Canadian dollars, the Swiss franc, and Euro and Japanese yen. When using the forex market you can trade a currency against another one trade it for another currency in order to help increase your revenues and earn more interest.

One great benefit of forex market trading is that there is very little possibility of any insider trading involved. Insider trading, although it is illegal, does happen in traditional stock markets, as people will know inside business secrets that will allow for people to buy stock before it begins to go up significantly in value. While the forex market does have people buying and selling things like in the regular stock market, insider trading is not found in the forex market because the changes are all based on how people buy and sell and by how the value of the economy of different countries is going.

It is also easy to identify different currencies on the forex market. This is because all of the currencies on the forex market are identified by three-letter codes to help distinguish between them all. For instance, the American dollar is listed as the USD, and the Euro is listed as the EUR. These codes make it simple to remember what currencies are out there for trading.
The forex market is a great market for you to consider investing in. If you would like to learn more about the forex market and how you can get involved you should consult your local broker for information. Also, be sure to look up information on the broker you are interested in working with to see if it is the right one for you to be working with for the forex market.

Trading Smart In The Forex Market

2008-12-04T02:34:47Z

Hundreds of thousands of individuals have already joined the FOREX market. If you are interested in a way to invest your money with quicker returns, forex market may be perfect for you. But before you can begin earning money, you should thoroughly understand the FOREX market.
Investing Methods
To better understand the FOREX market, you can compare this investing method to trading stocks. In the stock market, you can buy shares of many different corporations in the hope that stocks will rise, earning you a profit.

Well, the FOREX market works in the same way, except you are not buying shares of a corporation. Rather, you are buying and selling currencies. The aim is the buy a currency and sell it when the currency rises, thus earning a profit when the currency is more valuable.

As with the stock market, the FOREX market consists of those who invest a small amount as well as those with millions to invest. Any individuals with any capital can join in on the action. Because of the wide variety of FOREX brokers available today, you can become a FOREX trader with as little as two or three hundred dollars.
Predicting Results
But like the stock market, the FOREX market is full of risks. When you are investing any money there is always a risk of some loss. To minimize loss, many FOREX traders thoroughly educate themselves through classes, online courses, books, and other materials. There are many kinds of trading methods that will help you analyze current conditions and enable you to predict results.

The FOREX market is constantly changing, with drops and rises in currencies, 24 hours a day. The trick is to predict these trends before they occur, so you can buy currencies low and sell them when it is higher than the original cost. Sometimes, this means buying a dropping currency, and waiting for that currency to take on an upward trend. This forces you to keep up to date on the FOREX market conditions.

Online Trading
To become a FOREX participant, you should at least read a book, if not take a course. Because real money is involved here, you must proceed with utmost caution. Many FOREX investors sign up with FOREX related websites to receive newsletters, advice, and to keep up with currency trends. Some investors even sign up to receive trends on their phones and PDA's to stay in the game.
The good news is that you have the opportunity to practice with play money before you put any of your hard-earned cash through the FOREX market. When you sign up with a brokerage firm that offers the option to trade online, you can use play money to test and understand the software. You can use this valuable opportunity to put your research to the test by trying out different trading methods to see if your predictions and analyses are correct. While the money may not be real, the conditions are, which allow you a stable playground to learn and adapt to the FOREX market.

Foreign Exchange Trading As a Home Business with ForexGen

2008-09-10T00:38:20Z

Forex trading is the simultaneous buying of one currency and the selling of another. Currencies are traded through a broker or dealer, and are traded in pairs; for example the Euro dollar and the US dollar (EUR/USD) or the British pound and the Japanese Yen (GBP/JPY).

Forex trading is always done in currency pairs. The value of your forex investment increases or decreases because of changes in the currency exchange rate or forex rate. Forex Trading is the world's largest financial market with an estimated daily average turnover between $2.5 trillion to $3.0 trillion that we cannot doubt.

Forex trading is the potentially most lucrative home based business at the moment. It is a business where you can earn an income without selling anything, without pitching a sale to people and without running around after clients. Forex trading is becoming very popular nowadays because in it there are so many additional methods that can be used to get into the markets which are not available through the New York Stock exchange.

Forex trading is something that many people do not understand very well. While they hear of the dollar "fluctuation" they never quite understand the process or what it means. Forex trading is not easy however it does provides significant potential for profit, as more and more people are discovering. In this review, I want to provide information to help you decide whether forex trading is for you. If you do have risk capital and the inclination to learn forex trading can be an ideal home business.

Foreign exchange trading Principles | ForexGen

2008-09-08T03:22:01Z

Foreign exchange trading has been growing rapidly among day traders since the 1990s, as day traders have seen the advantages that trading currencies can have over trading stocks. However, since there are fewer currencies for beginners to purchase over the large number of stocks available, FX trading can be much more difficult for a newcomer to learn and master. Still, there are some basic principles that someone new to foreign exchange trading should learn, and these concepts may even be helpful to the experienced trader.

The first principle of FX trading is to understand that trading is an investment, not an income. If you are looking to constantly boom in Foreign exchange trading, then you may need to do a reassessment. FX trading, like other forms of trading, allows you to make a good return on your initial capital annually. However, during that year you need to expect some ups and downs in your foreign exchange trading. You could even have several months where you have consecutive losses. It is probably in your best interest to have another source of income while you do FX trading.

Another area where beginners sometimes find themselves frustrated is that they try to predict the foreign exchange trading markets. Thousands of traders have influence over the FX trading markets, along with politics and economic events, so there is no way to predict which way the market will move. There are some types of analysis that may provide an educated guess into market flow when doing FX trading, but they are not always reliable. Do not be discouraged, though, by the fact that you may lose on more trades that you gain on, as using sound money management can help you be successful with foreign exchange trading.

Making money from FX trading means that you need to make enough to cover your losses and gain profit to increase capital. When FX trading, you will need to allow your money-making trades ride while knowing when to cut your losses as soon as possible. foreign exchange trading means learning some finesse, as there can be a fine line where you will want to wait a little for the market to turn in your favor on your losing trades and also making sure you do not take your profit to soon on your better trades.

One way to handle your FX trading is to use a tested system and a money management strategy. There is no room for emotion when foreign exchange trading, so you will need to use a business-like approach that has been tested on market data. Using a tested approach will save you a lot of stress when foreign exchange trading. Also, using a sound money management strategy will allow you to use your capital in the best way when FX trading so that you can maximize profit and avoid major losses.

Forex Trading Payroll | ForexGen

2008-09-02T04:50:24Z

The non-farm payroll report releases by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics contains information on the current employment situation in the US. It is generally released on the first Friday of each month at 8:30 EST.

Non-farm payroll data creates large market moves in both the stock and currency markets. Average price movement right after the release is about 40-80 pips depending on the significance of the release and the price can move up to 100-130 pips before the end of the day.

High volatility and very rapid price movements which happen within minutes after the release provide huge profit potential. However, due to high volatility and a large number of trades that are being executed in a very short amount of time trading the release can result in gaps and slippage which can lead to large losses. Therefore a good strategy would be not to trade the breakout right after the release, but let the price break out and then depending on chart patterns or technical indicators enter into a trade. For example, the chart below is EUR/USD one minute chart for December release of non-farm payroll . The release came positive for the dollar - we see a spike down at 8:30. However if you entered into a trade in the initial direction of the spike you would most likely end up with a loss since (as seen below) the price started to form a bullish ascending triangle minutes after the release. At 8:47 the price broke the 1.3277 resistance which resulted in a 54 pip rally for the EUR/USD.

A profitable strategy would be to spot the chart formation (bullish ascending triangle), notice that MACD is above zero signifying potential upward move. Once these technical parameters are identified place a buy order at 1.3287 (10 pips above the resistance) with a stop at 1.3272 (15 pips below the entry) and first profit target at 1.3217. Result â€“ 30 pip profit.

The Forex Currency Pairs with ForexGen

2008-08-27T22:57:17Z

Foreign Exchange trading is in general the trading of many currencies of the world. It is emerging as the largest and least regulated market providing the greatest liquidity to investors.

This trading is always done in pairs – Currency Pairs, one currency is bought and the other is sold. Together, they make up what is known as the "exchange rate".

For example, you may buy Euros with Dollars, anticipating that the Euro to increase in value relative to the Dollar. If the Euro rises relative to the Dollar, you sell the position and can earn a profit.

Most commonly traded currencies or the “majors” are:

US Dollar (USD)
Japanese Yen (JPY)
Euro (EUR)
British Pound (GBP)
Canadian Dollar (CAD)
Australian Dollar (AUD)
Swiss Franc (CHF)

Most commonly traded currency pairs are:

US Dollar and the Japanese Yen (USD/JPY)
Euro and US Dollar (EUR/USD)
US Dollar and Swiss franc (USD/CHF)
British Pound and US Dollar (GBP/USD)

While quoting currency pairs, the first currency is referred to as the base currency and the second as the counter or quote currency. The base currency is always equal to 1 monetary unit of exchange, for example, 1 Dollar, 1 Pound, 1 Euro.

Trading Forex Currency Pairs for Maximum Profit

It is also known as domestic currency or accounting currency and sometimes also referred to as the primary currency of a Forex currency pair. The price represents how much of the quote currency is needed to get one unit of the base currency.

When a currency is quoted against US Dollar, it is known as direct rate. Any currency not against the US Dollar is called a cross rate.

The quote currency is translated into a certain number of units of the base currency. This is also referred to as the foreign currency, secondary currency or counter currency. For example, if you find that a quote of USD/JPY is at 1.30, it says that for every 1 US Dollar, you get 1.30 Japanese Yen. When you quote for AUD/JPY of 67.73, it says that for every 1 Australian Dollar, you get 67.73 Japanese Yen.

Currency pairs are generally traded as 100,000 units of the base currency. For example, if you were buying EUR/USD at 0.95 you would be paying Dollars for Euros as follows:

100,000 x .95 = $95,000 for 100,000 Euros

When you find a quote going up, it means that the value of the base currency is rising or in other words, it is getting stronger. If a quote is going down, it means that the base currency is weakening.

The dominant base currencies are:

Euro - EUR/USD, EUR/GBP, EUR/CHF, EUR/JPY, EUR/CAD
British Pound - GBP/USD, GBP/CHF, GBP/JPY, GBP/CAD
US Dollar - USD/CAD, USD/JPY, USD/CHF

The currency pairs are usually traded and quoted with a ‘bid’ and ‘ask’ price. The ‘bid’ is the price at which you are willing to buy and the ‘ask’ is the price at which price you are willing to sell.

For example, if the USD/EUR currency pair is quoted as - USD/EUR = 1.5 and you purchase the pair, this means that for every 1.5 euros that you sell, you get US$1. If you sold the currency pair, you receive 1.5 euros for every US$1 you sell.

The key to successful trading lies in selecting one or two pairs of currencies that you wish to trade in as a beginner. As you gain confidence, you may wish to add more pairs in your trading portfolio. But for a new trader or investor it is always advised to have limited pair just to ensure simplicity. And that what ForexGen Promises with.

Commentary: Anatomy of a Currency Trader | ForexGen

2008-08-18T20:40:02Z

In the context of fundamental currency analysis, we usually talk about inflation, interest rates, economic growth, politics, etc. But perhaps these variables mask some deeper "truth" in forex, specifically that there is some ultimate "force" guiding the decision-making processes of forex traders. What we are really talking about here is comfort with risk. Especially in the medium-term (the short-term consisting of hours and defined by randomness and the long-term consisting of years and defined by relative changes in the money supply), investors are constantly re-evaluating the level of risk that they want to assume.
To make this idea more concrete, let's look at how the credit crisis has impacted forex markets. In general, it has favored major currencies, such as the Dollar and the Euro, although sometimes one more than the other. This is to be expected since the capital markets of the US and the EU are the most stable and in times of uncertainty, investors seek out stability. Likewise, the Japanese Yen has fared well. Despite a continuation of its easy money policy, investors have unwound their Yen carry trade positions, ever-fearful that a spike in volatility could cost them dearly. On the other end of the equation are emerging market currencies and beneficiaries of the carry trade, which have faltered as investors pare their exposure to risk. The underlying narrative is the same; only now, investors are willing to accept lower returns in exchange for proportionately lower risk.
