Forex Trading, Mini Accounts, Online Forex Trading System

The easiest way to illustrate how Forex trading works is to show some currency value fluctuations over the long term.

For instance, this list shows the difference in value of the US Dollar (USD) against the UK Pound (GBP) on Nov 30 your the years 2004, 2005 and 2006.

Year USD GBP
2004 1.91 1.00
2005 1.73 1.00
2006 1.97 1.00

Now let’s say that you bought 1,000 British Pounds (GBP) on November 30, 2005 with US currency. This would have cost $1,730. And if you held those Pounds for one year, then sold them on November 30, 2006, for US Dollars, you would have gotten $1,970 for those Pounds. This would have netted you a profit of $240, or 13.8% on your purchase of Pounds.

While not enough to make you rich, compare the rate of return here with nearly any other investment. This is a good rate of return by anyone’s standards.

You can, of course, lose money in Forex trading, as in any sort of investment. For example, say you had bought those 1,000 GBP on November 30, 3004 instead and sold them on November 30, 2005. You would have gotten only $1,730 for your initial investment of $1,910. You would then have lost $180, or 9.4% on this particular trade.

As we see, you can make a profit with Forex trading if you buy a currency and sell it once it has increased in value. You can also end up taking a loss if you decide to sell after a drop in the value of the currency you are holding.

Of course, the above was just for the sake of example. When you are actually trading on the Forex market, you will be holding currencies for a much shorter time than in the example above. Most currency trades on the Forex market are done in less than a week. Forex traders work with small changes in currency values, generally hundredths of a percent. Most of this happens within the space of a few hours at most.

What Are The Causes Of Currency Changes?

Inflation is one of the prime causes both of currency value fluctuations, as well as the differing values of the currency of different nations. This difference can be seen as a measure of one country’s inflation versus another’s. Almost every country’s currency is subject to the effects of inflation and thusly will decrease over time. In a country with a stable economy (generally speaking, these are Western democracies such as the US, Western Europe and Japan) there will be an annual rate of inflation somewhere between 1 and 3 percent.

Instable economies (usually found in non-democratic nations), inflation can be much higher. Zimbabwe is a prime example, with an annual rate of inflation more than 1000%! A loaf of bread, for instance costs around one million Zimbabwean dollars, and a Zimbabwean dollar is worth less than 10% of its value last year. A grim situation, certainly.

A stable economy can still experience runaway inflation at times. There are other things which can come into play to drive up the rate of inflation. The current situation in the U.S. involving sub-prime mortgages is a good example. The value of the U.S. Dollar has dropped by about 3% in the last year, largely as a result of the large number of foreclosures.

Fundamental analysis is the study of these sorts of factors which influence the economy of a nation - and it is a good thing for any Forex trader to have some familiarity with. Since you are in essence investing in these countries by purchasing their currencies, it is valuable to know whatever you can find out about their economies.

Foreign exchange trading is one of the largest trading opportunities available. Every day, nearly two trillion dollars worth of foreign currency is traded on the bourses. Because of the immense size of this market, no single investor can substantially impact the market. Even multibillion dollar transactions are a relatively small percentage of the overall market, and can alter prices only slightly, and in the short term.

Foreign exchange trading is built on variations in basis points, where the basis point is one tenth of a cent (or one tenth of the smallest unit of currency being traded). For example, if Euros are $1.60 each, every $32 you put into Euros will net 20 of them. If Euros rise to $1.80 each, your 20 Euros will be worth $36.00.

The chief strategy for foreign exchange trading is watching the closing times of the major trading venues, which are London, the Asian markets and New York. A lot of banks will try to close out their positions at those times, which will cause the market to fluctuate.

Foreign exchange trading, like day trading in stocks, can result in an adrenaline rush mentality, and there’s a lot of money to be made in small shifts in exchange rates. However, to make foreign exchange trading work for you as a day trader, you need to live the life and adjust your sleep schedule to be awake when the markets are open to capitalize on shifts.

You can also take a long term strategy on foreign exchange trading. This is where you’re looking for long term trends rather than trying to run the races each day on daily shifts.

Key factors to keep in mind in terms of foreign exchange trading are the international news. In particular, any moves the Federal Reserve makes will change the exchange rates. Interest rate increases make the dollar more valuable (because holding investments in dollars that earn interest mean they accrue faster). Anything related to international conflict will drive the dollar down, and make other currencies more valuable.

A related type of foreign exchange trading is holding foreign bonds. This is how most foreign traders hold dollars, they buy US Treasury T-bills. A variation on this strategy is to hold foreign certificates of deposit. Basically anything rated in a foreign currency that’s accumulating interest on a short term basis (or using a ladder strategy or options strategy) can be used to double dip foreign exchange processes, getting both the relative movement of currencies and the interest accrued.

Short for Foreign (currency) Exchange, Forex is the world’s biggest market for trading in currencies. As much as 2 trillion US dollars worth of currency are traded on the Forex on a daily basis. Compare this with the approximately 25 million US dollars traded on the NYSE and you’ll get the picture - Forex is huge.

So what is Forex all about? Simply put, Forex entails buying one currency, let’s say Turkish Lira, and selling another, say US Dollars. In Forex, currencies are always traded and quoted in pairs. The exchange is made through a broker.

Just like the stock market where you are investing in a company, with Forex you are in a way investing in a country. If your company is a success, the value of your stock goes up. Much the same principle is at work in Forex. If the economy of the country whose currency you are trading is robust, the value of that currency will also go up - and you can then sell it for a profit.

Unlike stock markets, there is no “trading pit” in the world of Forex. Forex operates through the internet and other electronic communications and runs 24 hours a day, 5 days a week.

It has only been in the last several years that the Forex has been open to the average person to invest in. The Forex market itself has been around since 1971, but for most of its history only large companies and a few very wealthy individuals possessed the resources to be able to trade in foreign currency. Today however, anyone with a high speed internet connection and a small initial investment (as low as 50 US dollars) can get in on the Forex market.

The seven most commonly traded currencies on the Forex market are U.S. Dollars (USD), Euros (EUR), Japanese Yen (JPY), UK Pounds (GBP), Swiss Francs (CHF), Canadian Dollars (CAD) and Australian Dollars (AUD). Foreign currencies are identified by means of a three letter code. The first two letters stand for the country, while the last letter identifies the nation in question’s currency.

For example:-
USD: U.S. = United States, D = Dollars.
GBP: GB = United Kingdom (Great Britain), P = Pounds.

At any given time, business is going on somewhere in the world. Global business never sleeps, and neither does Forex. This can be beneficial to you - you can trade on the Forex market any time that is convenient to you.

There are seven currencies on the Forex which are called Major Currencies, due to their being the most heavily traded currencies on the market. The biggest four are, in order: U.S. Dollars (USD), Euros (EUR), Japanese Yen (JPY), and UK Pounds (GBP). The remaining three are Swiss Francs (CHF), Canadian Dollars (CAD) and Australian Dollars (AUD).

Advantages Of Forex Trading

There are a few advantages which the Forex trader enjoys which those who trade in the stock market do not.

1.Unlike with stock brokers, the investor does not pay commissions, per se, to the broker. Instead, the dealers in Forex trading receive part of the “spread” (that is to say, the difference) between the buying and selling price of currency. This is generally a very small amount per trade; a fraction of a percent.

2.You can trade on the Forex market any time which is convenient for you, unlike the stock market - it is closed only on weekends, from 5pm Eastern time on Fridays to 12AM on Mondays.

3.As opposed to the stock market, it is nearly impossible for companies or individual investors to manipulate the Forex market. The volume of Forex trading each and every day prevents any one actor from having undue influence. We all know of instances of the stock market being artificially influenced by unscrupulous persons and companies however.

4.Forex trading can be done with borrowed capital, meaning that you need not have hundreds of thousands in liquid assets to trade currency in large numbers. This concept is called Margin Trading. A small amount of your own capital (less than 5 percent) can be used to leverage a large chunk of borrowed assets, which may then be invested. Forex is traded in what is called lots, the normal size of a lot being 100,000 US dollars. Depending on the dealer with whom you deal you may be able to trade is smaller amounts, these are known as mini-lots or micro-lots.

Day trading is a style wherein traders either sell all long positions are sold or cover short positions at the end of the trading day. There are many markets for day trading and some of these are currency, stocks, futures and commodities. For simplicity, we associate trading with purchasing a commodity, bringing it home or to our business premises, and then selling it.

Some Facts You Should Know About Day Trading:

1. In day trading, different shares are bound to undergo different resistance and support levels.
2. Day trading systems utilize objective and mechanical criteria to choose the different trades of the market.
3. The day trading signals are the signals acquired when stocks bounce off of support levels or sometimes even off resistance, if required.
4. The stronger faith there is in the trend line, the better it acts as a support for you.
5. Day trading stock picks are selected based on a set of strategies or methodologies, of which the most important are technical analysis, trend analysis, relative strength ranking, fractals and volumes, chart formations, and algorithms.

Some Benefits Of Day Trading:

1. The main advantage of day trading is that one’s stock positions are not held beyond the current trading day.
2. Another benefits of day trading is that since the positions are closed at the end of the trading day, any sudden news of events doesn’t affect the opening prices of trading.
3. One of the benefits of day trading is that since the positions are closed at the end of the trading day, any sudden news of events doesn’t affect the opening prices of trading.
4. It is a safer way for people who do not have a lot of know-how in stock trading; therefore, they can easily follow their stocks during the day and sell them off as soon as they see a rise in the value.

Some Tips For Day Trading:

1. Follow the day trading system rules and standards by remembering the number of open positions.
2. If you plan to invest your money in day trading, see to it you do not put in all your hard earned savings in one go, as this might prove to be quite dangerous for you.
3. According to the day trading system, it is a necessity to always be aware of the share movement and to not make wild decisions based on a margin call from a broker.
4. Do not trust advertising claims that promise fast and guaranteed profits from day trading.
5. You have to work with an experienced day trader, need to learn latest techniques, use latest stock market investment software, subscribe to on-line day trading tutorial and need to devise your own trading plan.

Trading Software:

A number of traders and investors rely too much on software’s used for these purposes, but you do not get a true picture of the market just by using these software’s, as there are many factors which constitute a stock market and some of them can only be assessed through skills and experience. Trading softwares are not only important but necessary to survive in today’s competitive market.

When trading currencies online, there seems to be no end to the mistakes a beginning forex trader can make. Beginning traders are always the most susceptible, but experienced traders can often revert back into bad practices as well. Here are some of the most common trading mistakes listed in no particular order, and how to avoid them.

Predicting instead of reacting. Otherwise known as overconfidence. This usually happens after a winning trade or two. The trader starts to think that if he can enter a trade sooner, he will get more pips. He begins to believe he can pick the top or bottom before the market reveals it to him. So instead of reacting to what the market is telling him, he starts to predict what the market will do. He enters a trade and the market continues its move, which is against him. Now, does he admit he was wrong and close his position, or does he add to it?

Adding to losing positions. Here is an extension of predicting instead of reacting. Look, you just entered a trade and the market is going against your position. The market is telling you, you are wrong. Now is the time to close your position, not add to it. If you add to your losing position, you are making at least two incorrect decisions. First, you are predicting the market will turn around. Second, you are hoping the market will prove you right because you are unable to admit you made a losing trade. Losing trades are a fact of life in the forex market. You weren’t wrong, simply, your edge didn’t play in your favor on this trade. Close your losing position and move onto the next trade.

Insufficient capitalization. Forex trading is already highly leveraged. Insufficient capitalization just magnifies the potential problems you can face. If you read about the famous and big name traders, they never use more than 1% - 2% of their trading capital on a position. Get out a calculator and let’s see… 1% of $10,000 is $100. So as a position trader who might have a stop-loss order of 100 pips, you can only trade one mini lot of one currency pair for each $10,000 in your trading account. That is, if you want to trade like the pros. Do you have $10,000 in your account? Why do forex dealers boldly advertise you can start trading with only $250 then? Because they are in business to make money, and if they can convince you to commit trading errors, they stand a much better chance that they will soon have your money.

Overtrading. A close cousin of insufficient capitalization. Knowing that very few currency traders trade with sufficient capital in the first place, they further compound the potential problems by trading too actively and in too many currency pairs. Spreading themselves too thin you might say. Potential problems include loosing focus and margin calls. Getting a margin call is a very irresponsible position for a forex trader to be in and is a direct result of overtrading, over leveraging, and insufficient capitalization. This is as close to the perfect recipe for failure as you can get.

Not using stop-loss orders. There are very few times when not using stop-loss orders is the correct action to take. Large traders with several hundred or more lots don’t want to advertise where their stops are placed is one. The other might be scalpers whose stop is only 10-15 pips away. By the time they figure the math and enter it in the system, the price might already be there or even past it. And some forex dealing stations won’t let you place stops closer than 15 pips anyway, especially in fast moving situations. Other than those times, you need to put stop-loss orders in on every position. It is in your own best interest to protect yourself. I know, some people whine that their stops are always being run by the dealer. A whole article could be written on stop-loss order management, if not a complete chapter in a book. Let’s just say for now, don’t put them where everybody else does, and don’t put them too close.

Trading as a hobby. Golf is a hobby and it costs you money to play. Horseback riding is a hobby and it costs you money as well. The point is hobbies cost money, business makes money. You need to treat your forex trading as a business if you ever hope to make money on a consistent basis. That means keeping records, keeping a trading journal, and have a written business plan. You wouldn’t invest money into a start up business without first seeing a business plan, so why would you invest money into your own trading account without the same thoughtful consideration.

Not having a trading plan. This is one of those catch-all mistakes. If you have a written trading plan, and follow it, you will already have identified and hopefully eliminated all of the above mistakes. If you don’t have a written trading plan, you are almost assuredly making some, if not all of the above mistakes. Maybe not all at once, but even occasional mistakes add up quickly. Do yourself a favor and don’t put on another trade until you think through and write down the response for all of the above mistakes and any others you can identify, as well as entry and exit rules. Then follow it.

These are just some of the many mistakes you can make as a forex trader. You need to take responsibility for yourself and your money and act in your own best interest. The currency markets are a zero sum game and the many players are out to make a profit. Don’t let them profit with your money. Do your best to eliminate the above mistakes, and you will go a long way to ensuring you are the one who profits in the forex market.

If you do an Internet search on the keywords “Forex trading systems”, just about any search engine is going to bring up every conceivable scheme under the sun as to what makes the perfect trading system.

Most of these are scams that state you can make big profits every day, and they also promise that you’ll never lose a trade. What’s the catch? This “foolproof” system will cost you just $5,000. Of course, that’s a lot of money even for a foolproof system, but worse than that, this is most likely a scam. Why?

First of all, it’s not true that you’ll never make a losing trade, no matter how good you get at doing trades. That alone should make you turn the other way and run. Second of all, if these people are so rich from their trading secrets, why are they selling you their secrets for $5,000? Unquestionably, they make their money from selling you their “secrets,” and nothing else.

It may be true that these systems to work in some cases, but better yet, you can develop your own personal trading system so that you know exactly what you’re doing — and you don’t have to spend a penny beyond funding your own trading account. So, take that $5,000 and find your trading account instead. Develop your own trading system by using a free demo account so that it’s not going to cost you anything until you’ve got your system down.

Now, you can’t expect to come out on top for every single one of your trades, but you can certainly do more profitable trades than losing ones, which in turn will earn you a profit overall. And it’s not difficult to develop your own profitable trading system, either. What is difficult at times is that you stick to your system over the long term. This is where inexperienced traders fall short versus experienced ones.

Simply put, any trading system’s main aim is to identify trends as early as possible so that you get maximum advantage from them. At the same time, you want to avoid false trends and blips, wherein the market will either stand still or even go against you. The earlier you catch onto a trend, the more likely it is to be a false one. However, it’s also a shortcoming if you wait until you are certain of your trend before you start trading, because then the market will be much more likely to stand still or move against you.

How, then, can you identify trends early enough to be profitable for you and yet still be reliable? Look at moving averages. Use two moving averages: a fast moving average (meaning you average over a small number of time periods, such as five time periods) and a slow moving average, where you average over a larger number of time periods, such as 10). Plot each of these on the same chart together and look to see where they cross over each other.

This is your “moving average crossover” system. When you’ve identified something that you think is a trend, confirm it by looking at other market indicators, in addition to moving averages. If you use at least two different indicators, this will help you avoid false trends or other erroneous indicators.

Decide beforehand how much you can afford to lose on a particular trade; this is more important than determining how much profit you want to earn. This is because not doing so may very well cause you to lose much more money than you’re prepared to, which is where forex trading can become harmful.

You have to be prepared to have a least some losses, and you have to know how much those can be. Once you’ve decided how much you can lose, set up a stop loss order. Then, decide at what price you are going to open your trade and what price you are going to close it at in order to get maximum profit. Remember that you need to stick to this no matter what happens — even if the trade moves against you.

By developing your own successful trading system, you can have consistent profits. You need to do this by doing demo trading first until you are comfortable with the system and know what it can do for you. Don’t be influenced by your emotions and make sure that you can afford what you are inevitably going to lose on occasion.

Once you have gotten your own system down, write it down so that you have a record of this for yourself. You should also write down your stop-loss amount, such as if the price falls by 30 pips, and when you’ll close your trade, such as if it rises by 50 pips.

Stick to your system consistently, and you should have success. Remember that no trading system works for you unless you have the discipline to stick to it.

The Forex market is influenced by many different factors. Because of the world wide economy, knowing the economic reports in Switzerland may be as important to one trader as what the Yen is doing against the US Dollar. Countries release economic reports to show the health of their local economies, and one of the major reports that all Forex traders look forward to is the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

The CPI acts like a mutual fund of indicators. It takes into account the average price level that is paid by the common consumer for basic goods and services, and covers over 200 different categories from food to medicine to gas to house prices.

After assessing all changes in prices for these areas, a report is issued that helps reveal how much inflation is taking place in an economy, and how much pressure that economy is under by these forces.

Inflation is not good for an economy, as rising inflation often makes it harder for consumers in a nation to buy even basic goods, meaning there is less free money for retail sales and spurring economic growth.

The CPI report shows how heavily inflation is affecting a nation, and inflation doesn’t just strike an economy that is struggling - in fact inflation can crop up in a booming economy that is growing too fast without any checks or balances! This is why inflation needs to be measured aside from other economic indicators.

For example, in an economy that started booming, similar to the way China has grown in recent years, more people make more money. They start buying more. Stores not directly affected notice this, and raise their prices. So the workers demand more money, the company pays more money, and the stores keep raising prices. Without any checks or balances, this economic boom can send the inflation through the roof. A CPI report can show this, and encourage the government and federal banks to counter.

The CPI can sometimes be affected by a large hike in price of one commodity. For example, the huge jump in oil prices in the United States. This affects transportation, heating, food, and cuts into retail sales because of the squeeze on workers’ budgets. In that case, one major commodity jumping in price created a domino effect that the CPI would alert traders and investors to.

As a Forex trader, the CPI will give you critical information about a nation and its economy that can translate to directly affecting a nation’s currency in the Forex market.

The national interest rate report is one of the five most important economic reports to the Forex market that is released by the government. In the United States this is the Fed Funds Rate, and is by far and away the most important interest rate when considering the impact it will have on the US Dollar in the Forex market.

This rate is the rate that banks and other similar institutions charge each other for over night loans. Often the interest rate will be changed when the governing body hopes to have a specific impact on some part of the economy. Often times when a government wants to “jump start” an economy, they will cut the interest rate.

Interest rates have a very direct effect on the Forex market. An increase in interest rates encourages traders to invest in that nation’s market and also causes the demand for currency to rise.

As the demand for a currency rises, traders are willing to pay more and more for the currency, causing that currency to rise in value. The higher interest rates will also attract Forex traders who love to practice the carry trade, since a higher interest rate there will mean more day to day appreciation on their money.

A fall in interest rates will also affect the Forex market. In general, a fall in interest rates will discourage traders from investing in that economy since the return on investment is smaller, and this can have a cumulative effect as carry traders look for a more profitable interest rate on other currency pairs. Usually this means the currency will decline in value.

Part of the reason this especially affects currency value is because many Forex traders love the carry trade, in which they earn interest on a long term trade. A change in interest rates can cause Forex traders to flee to (or from) a currency pair, affecting the value of both.

Any time there is going to be an announcement regarding a change in interest rates, you should definitely pay attention. Each nation usually has a set time when they make such announcements, and will let traders and investors know ahead of time that a change of some kind is coming.

Every change is worth paying attention to, because it is definitely going to affect the market in the short term, and maybe even long term.

Watching the interest rate fluctuations is not only good fundamental analysis of the Forex market, but it’s just plain old common sense, as well.

It is crucial to be aware of specific issues happening in the world, particularly if they have the potential to offer benefits, such as Forex trading. Essentially, the Forex market is a non-stop cash market where currencies of various nations are traded. It is somewhat similar to a stock market, with Forex trading these foreign currencies are continually being bought and sold throughout both local and global markets.

There are numerous rewards that are extended to private and potential investors within Forex trading, including a giant liquid market making it simple to trade the majority of currencies, volatile markets offering numerous profit opportunities, the capability to profit from both rising and falling markets, and leveraged trading with low margin requirements.

The Details

When it comes to Forex trading, one of the most significant things to bear in mind is what the basic investor’s goal is here. Simply speaking, the goal is to make a profit from movements in foreign currency. When trading currencies it is crucial that an investor only make trades when they have an expectation the currency that they are purchasing to increase in value relative to the currency that they will be selling, otherwise there no gain will result.

The exchange rates are continually fluctuating in Forex trading and it is important for all investors to remain on top of these types of changes and be mindful of them. There are numerous resources that are available to help in this regard, both on the internet as well as off, and any of these will really work well provided that they are continually being updated and not just once a day.

The Differences

There are numerous important differences when comparing Forex trading and other stock market trading. Firstly, unlike the trading of basic stocks, futures or options, this kind of currency trading does not happen on a regulated exchange. It is not regulated by any governing body and so there is a great deal more freedom with this specific kind of trading.

Forex is the biggest financial market throughout the world and the retail Forex market is strictly a speculative market and investors need to be mindful of this. There are no physical exchanges of currencies actually ever taking place, but instead all trades that are placed here exist merely as entries in a computer and are then netted out dependant upon the market price.

Forex is decidedly a market worth looking into, though it is crucial that any possible investor first be trained and aware on what it necessitates and what is expected of them here. Otherwise significant loss will in all likelihood result.
