Posts Tagged ‘ currency market ’

Forex trading refers to buying and selling of currencies of different countries, simultaneously or exchanging currencies of one country with that of another. the forex market is the oldest and the biggest in the world. Active 24x7x365 days per year, it is the market featuring the largest liquidity. There is no exchange center like we have for the stock market. This trade never halts and continues day in and out across the globe. the Dynamic Currency Market the currencies of the world hardly have a fixed rate of exchange. they are forever fluctuating. the currencies are traded in pairs like Dollar/Yen, Euro/dollar, and others. Most of the investments deal with US dollar against Japanese yen, US dollar against Swiss franc, Euro against US dollar, British pound against US dollar, and others. these are major currency pairs and also referred to as “blue chips” of the foreign exchange market. the fundamental principle of buying while low and selling while high provides profit in Forex trading. There are no dividends on the currencies.

If you predict that the value of one currency would overshadow another, you can exchange the other one for the first currency and wait for the reward. If the market follows your prediction, you’re lucky and can reverse the transaction by exchanging back the currencies and grabbing profits. the daily turnover of the forex market is around $1.2 trillion! the prices here need no dramatic shift to fluctuate. This is unlike the stock market where fluctuations occur due to noticeable gaps. Besides, you have no problem entering or exiting this market. the Role of FX Companies In Forex trading, the transactions are done by FX brokerage companies that are also referred to as major bank dealers. Earlier, small traders had no chance to get involved in this inter-bank trading because of stringent financial requirements and minimum amount of transaction.

Only big traders, banks, and large currency dealers played the game of currencies. Their strength was the ultimate access to FX market, which featured a large number of primary exchange rates in world currencies, spectacular liquidity, and a strong pattern. Today, the scenario is different. Small traders, too, have a chance to buy small units. This has happened mainly because of the split up of big inter-bank units by brokers. Thanks to online firms offering FX rates, seminars on currency trading, and guidelines to beginners on this market, it is possible for first-time traders as well as small speculators to achieve big in this market. Now, you need not be a big company or a stalwart in trading to gain access to this market. Almost everybody can enter forex trading at the same exchange rates and price fluctuations, which used to be the privilege of major brokers. Market makers closely examine the exchange rates to make profit on the difference of currency rates on which they were bought and sold. the currency market is like a restless ocean where you can never know when a shark strikes you or a huge wave washes you out. However, this is also the same place where you can make a cool $100,000 out of a mere $1,000 investment by smart forex trading!

Ilya Spivak, On Friday December 24, 2010, 6:04 am EST

Strategy: short at 1.3315, Targeting 1.2969

Weekly Profit / Loss: +143 pips

Total Profit / Loss: +183 pips

We sold EURUSD at 1.3315. Prices have edged through support at 1.3161, the 14.6% Fibonacci Retracement of the 11/4-11/30 downswing, opening the door for a push to our initial soft target at 1.2969. We will remain short, looking for a daily close below this boundary to clear the way for a deeper selloff into the mid-1.26 range. A stop-loss will be activated on a daily close above 1.3499, the Doji wick high.

EURUSD: Sellers Eye Push Below 1.30

AUTOMATIC trading by computers, blamed for Wall Street’s infamous ”flash crash”, is also driving a powerful surge in currency market turnover and has caught the eye of a key global regulator.

The influential Bank for International Settlements has identified high-speed buying and selling by computer programs, known as algorithmic Trading, as a key contributor to the ballooning volume of daily Foreign Exchange turnover, which struck $US4000 billion this year.

In its latest Quarterly Review, published today, the BIS says electronic buying and selling is one of the main reasons for the increase in turnover, which has risen by 20 per cent surge since 2007.

The practice, which allows banks to make multibillion-dollar trades without human intervention, has already attracted attention from stock exchange regulators after it was blamed for a sudden plunge of 700 points in the Dow Jones Index in May. Dominated by Deutsche Bank, UBS, Citi and Barclays, algorithmic trading is also being investigated by Australian regulators, including the Reserve Bank.

Although the full implications of high-speed trading are not well understood, government sources say it is less risky to stability in currency markets because their higher turnover means it is harder for the overall market to be influenced by ”rogue” computer trades.

The Switzerland-based BIS, known as the central bankers’ bank, estimated high-speed trading accounts for about a quarter of spot market activity in foreign exchange, though its full role could not be measured exactly.

A report published by US authorities in October concluded that a single $US4.1 billion trade was a key reason for the flash crash, and said algorithmic trading helped to ”quickly erode liquidity and result in disorderly markets”.

The BIS, which described the rapid increase in foreign exchange turnover as the $US4000 billion question, said the growing number of retail traders was another key reason for growth in the foreign exchange markets.

Retail investors and non-bank institutions traded $US125 billion to $US150 billion a day on foreign exchange markets, it said, making up almost 10 per cent of the global market. because foreign exchange trading often involves investors taking debt-fuelled bets on currency moves, regulators in Japan and the US have recently introduced leverage caps.

Japanese retail investors were the most enthusiastic currency traders, punting more than $US30 billion a day into the global money markets.
