Forex Definition - A brief Overview

2009-01-08T15:36:00.000-08:00

The Forex, and also known as "The Foreign Exchange" market exists wherever one currency is traded for another. It's the largest financial market in the world. Simply if we compare the New York Stock Exchange trades vs changing hands in forex, we will discover Forex market is a lot of times larger than both Equity and Treasury markets combined.

Forex or "Foreign Exchange" is where the money of one nation is traded with another. The most important and popular pairs of exchange in the forex market are "Euro Dollar", and you will see this pairs in all forex display screens as "EUR/USD". There are also a lot of others pairs but sure not important and not famous as "EUR/USD" pairs, like:-

1-The British Pound, and you will see this pairs in all forex display screens as "GBP/USD".

2- The Japanese Yen, and you will see this pairs in all forex display screens as "USD/JPY".

3- The Swiss Franc, and you will see this pairs in all forex display screens as "USD/CHF".

However there is a problem in the forex market until this day, there is no one central exchange where everyone can exchange the currency. All the currency traded are done over the telephone and online through a very big networks that connects all the banks, brokers and currency traders with each others.

Currency trading in the past was just for the banks, but today and after the new revolution electronic economy, online forex trading companies start to offer a lot of services to all traders around the world. Today if anyone have a computer and internet connection can easily start to trade currencies, but sure the experience and analysis is very important to success in forex game.

Forex Trading Strategy - A Simple, Very profitable One Anyone can Use

2009-01-08T15:29:00.000-08:00

Here we are going to look at a forex trading strategy anyone can learn in a few times and can apply for big profits. It's simple and logical and you can learn it in a few days and then be making profits with it - Lets take a look at it.

The first point I am going to make before I cover this forex trading strategy is simple and simple forex trading strategies are better than complicated ones, as they are more robust with fewer elements to break.

This is a simple forex trading system that trades valid breakouts.
What is a breakout?

Quite simply it's a level of support or resistance that is broken and the price makes a new low or high. If you look at any chart you will see that most of the big trends start from breakouts.

Valid Breakouts
You don't want to just trade any breakout you want to trade ones that are considered valid i.e they have been tested a few times and have held. The more tests that have occurred the better (you want a minimum of 3) and these should be in at least two time periods a few weeks apart.
Understand This:

Most traders hate buying breakouts because they think their not getting in at a good price. They want the price to come back so they can buy the pullback - but valid breakouts don't pull back, they accelerate away from the breakout point and the trader who waits never gets in.

If you grit your teeth and buy a breakout, you may appear to miss a bit of the move but that's ok, as there is normally plenty more to come.

Confirming the Move.

Not every breakout accelerates away and many quickly turn back so you need to be careful to confirm each and every move. What you need to do is, see if momentum is picking up as the breakout occurs i.e. you are looking for momentum to support the break. This is easy to do.

All you need to do is look and use some momentum oscillators and two of the best are the stochastic and Relative Strength Index (RSI).

We don't have time to discuss them fully here, simply check our other articles. These are visual indicators all you need to do is look at the set ups and if they confirm momentum is on your side then you can execute your trading signal.

Your stop?

Very simple - you place it behind the breakout point.

Breakout trading is simple to understand and is based on timeless logic and works.

Online Forex Trading - Beginners Guide

2009-01-08T15:17:00.000-08:00

When it comes to forex trading, understanding the terminology and the forex trading strategies before you begin is vital. There are many web based companies that provide online forex trading tutorials that revolve around real time forex trading. Using a forex tutorial will give you the beginner knowledge you need to take part in trading forex.

After you have completed your forex tutorial there are some basic forex trading tips that all beginners will find useful. The most important thing to remember when trading forex and the most important forex trading strategy is to remember to always place stop loss orders. Using this strategy in your online forex trading will help to prevent and limit your losses.

The next important step for online forex trading is to take profit orders at the same time as placing your stop loss orders. This is done by using the OCO order function that is available with most online forex trading systems. Take profit orders work on the same basis as the stop loss orders and help to eliminate the risk of locking into a profit too early.

Another beginner’s tip is to use a positive risk/reward ratio. This means that you should choose the amount you are willing to make on your forex trade beforehand and it should be more than or equal to the amount that you are willing to loose. This tip is essential if you want to be successful in your forex trading.

It is important for any forex trading beginner to note that successful online forex trading takes patience and is a long term investment. It takes controlled forex trading along with discipline and patience to make your forex trading profitable. Continued research and forex tutorials and guides will help you to learn more and remember as with all successful ventures; knowledge equals power.

Forex Charts - Using The ADX Indicator For Bigger Profits

2009-01-08T15:07:00.000-08:00

If you're using charts, then you want to trade the strong trends - and the Average Directional Movement Index Indicator, or ADX, enables you to do this.

Wells Wilder developed the ADX, and outlined it in his classic book “New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems”.

Let’s look at this essential indicator in more detail - and see how to apply it on your forex charts, to give you greater accuracy when generating your trading signals.

Determining the Strength of the Trend

The ADX is a momentum indicator, which aims to measure the strength of the trend - and attempts to determine if the market is trending, or is trading sideways.

The Advantages of the ADX

A core belief of technical analysis is that a strong trend in motion is more likely to continue, than reverse. Therefore, you always want to be trading strong trends - as your odds of success are higher. The Average Directional Movement is a good indictor – and you should consider using it as part of your currency trading system.

The Technical Bit

For the boffin’s out there, here’s the technical bit – don’t worry if you don’t understand the calculation, its easy to use when visually plotted. The ADX is based on the comparison of two other directional indicators, both of which were also developed by Wilder, and they are:

Positive Directional Indicator (+DI) and the Negative Directional Indicator (-DI) to produce ADX as showed in the following formula:

ADX = SUM[(+DI-(-DI))/(+DI+(-DI)), N]/N

Where:

N: Refers to the period of calculation. The formula above produces the ADX line, which oscillates between 0 to 100 values. The +DI and -DI are both present and can be seen to make up the indicator.

You don’t need to understand the above calculation to use the indicator – you only need to accept that the indicator works.

The indicator is easy to use when it’s visually plotted - and you’ll find it included, with most of the good forex chart services.

How to Trade using the ADX Indicator
The ADX it’s not a bullish, bearish trading signal generator - and should never be used as such.

The ADX indicator simply indicates the strength of the trend - and other indicators should be used to enter, and exit trades.

Although the ADX fluctuates from 0 to 100, it rarely moves above 60.

Use the ADX in the following way:

Readings above 40 indicate the strength of the trend.

Readings below 20 indicate range trading and flat periods of consolidation.

You can use the crossing of +DI and -DI to determine the trend direction; when +DI crosses -DI upward, it’s a bullish signal, on the other hand, when +DI crosses -DI downward it’s a bearish signal.

The ADX line is a great momentum indicator and like the RSI (also developed by Wells Wilder), the ADX it will help you trade the strongest trends - and give you advance warning of changes in momentum.

The Bottom Line

If you want currency trading success, you can’t just trade support and resistance levels, and hope they hold or break. You need confirmation of momentum to get the odds on your side - and the ADX indicator will assist you.
Final Words

New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems was published in 1978, and was one of the first trading books I ever bought. Every trader should make this book a part of his or her forex education. If you want to learn forex trading the right way, get the book, and use the ADX indicator to increase your chances of making big FX Profits.

Global Futures Time Premium Index

2009-01-07T14:53:00.000-08:00

The Global Futures Time Premium Index is a sentiment indicator. The spread between the S&P 500 cash index and the S&P futures contracts (premium) shows high readings near market tops and low readings near market bottoms. The bold red lines on the chart below show you the futures contracts with the highest and lowest premiums of the last years on a 5-day moving average for comparison (6 months until expiration).

If the index (premium of the nearby S&P 500 futures contract on a 5-day moving average) moves close to the upper line or above, bullish sentiment is prevailing which is a bearish indicator. The reverse is true if the index moves near or below the lower line; it shows extreme pessimism by futures traders and indicates bottoms.

Forex Advance-Decline Ratio and Advance

2009-01-07T14:48:00.000-08:00

The Advance-Decline Ratio is also market breadth indicator. It is calculated by dividing the number of advancing issues by the number of declining issues using daily or weekly NYSE data. It works very well as an overbought/oversold indicator and as a momentum indicator. A moving average should be used to smooth out the swings.

The Advance-Decline Line gave a useful example in 1999. During the strong bull market the advance was quite broad and the A/D Line moved in tandem with the Dow. But when the Dow made new highs in the beginning of 1999 the A/D Line was already lagging behind, indicating a weakening of the general market. Internet mania and technology craze kept the market going for a while.

Forex Advance-Decline Line

2009-01-07T14:36:00.000-08:00

The Advance-Decline Line is a market breadth indicator and should be compared to the other market indices like the Dow Jones or S&P 500. Daily or weekly NYSE data is used in the calculation. Because the Advance-Decline Line reflects the action of the general market, any divergences are watched closely by market technicians.

As long as the Dow and the Advance-Decline Line are moving in the same direction the trend will continue. If the Dow makes a new high which is not confirmed by a high of the Advance-Decline Line, caution is warranted. Vice versa, if the Dow makes a new low and the Advance-Decline Line doesn't you should cover your short To calculate your own weekly Advance-Decline Line is very simple and you can begin your calculations at any time. Just pick a large enough base number like 100000.

Then you calculate each week (or day) the difference between advances and declines by adding the advances and subtracting the declines. If you have 1269 advances and 1457 declines on your first week, the reading of your newly created weekly Advance-Decline Line would be 99812

I Take Time to Learn Currency Trading What Else do I Require to Make Money

2009-01-06T13:39:00.000-08:00

Investing in yourself and your education is always a wise decision. Investing in learning Forex trading could be one of the wisest decisions you ever made. People from every country on the globe are entering the markets daily and many of them are becoming wealthy because of it. The first step towards creating wealth for yourself is to learn currency trading from its fundamental theories to its sophisticated investing strategies.

After you have completed that process, you now have the world at your finger tips just waiting for you to reach out and grab it. Don't let the people who tell you can't make money in Forex fool you. In fact, the odds are all in your favor. Where else do you have 50% chance of making money in something even if you no nothing about what you doing? Nowhere else is the answer! Really, how much better odds to you want?

If you know nothing and play a child's game called "Ani, mine, miny, moe" to select a currency to buy, you have a 50% chance of picking a winning investment. A currency can only go in one of two ways, up or down. That makes 50% in my book. Wow, just think what would happen to that percentage if you actually knew a little. Of course, your selection process is going to improve, as well as your winning percentage. That all you need to make big money in the markets, for it to increase 10% or 15% and you are on easy street.

After you obtain the knowledge and understanding of how the markets works, the most important trait your going to need is DISIPLINE. If your like so many new investors, your will make a few real money making trades and want to jump right back in and do it again. You will have forgot what you learned in your Forex course, which was to only look for the great trading opportunities, there are enough of them that you don't need to mess with the average ones.

But, what happens with new investors is that they get the adrenaline rush of making big money quickly and just can't wait to do it again. And consequently, they are always chasing average to poor investments and they never learn to make the big bucks. If you take your time to learn currency trading and you feel you are the type of person that can approach trading in a disciplined manor, then there is no reason you too can't become a currency cash generating machine also.

Avoiding Forexrelated Frauds And Scams

2009-01-06T13:28:00.000-08:00

A lot of people have been 'burnt' from scam operations on the Internet. Their sites may look so perfectly legitimate that you doubt whether they would have gone through all that trouble building a trading platform just to steal your money. Beware.

The first thing I look for is the geographical location of the broker. If I find that they are based in a country where the financial industry is, in my opinion, relatively unregulated and under-developed, I quickly forgo signing up. This is terrible news for honest brokers in those countries, but your job as a trader is to protect your capital. If you loose that, then you cannot trade. The onus is on them to convince you that they will do the right thing by you as an investor.
I started out with an Australian broker. Currently I am using an American one. I have not tried UK-based brokers but the British financial industry is one of the best. Companies that are based in countries such as Japan , Germany and France are probably just as good too, if their website speaks your language.

Notice any license numbers that they may have registered with regulatory bodies that act like government watchdogs who oversee the finance and investments industries. These are organisations that impose strict rules to safeguard your investment. Some of these rules may include the requirement that brokers segregate all customer funds from the operational funds of the business. Your money is required to be put in highly-reputable banks and the funds are only withdrawn from these accounts upon specific withdrawal requests.
Take note that there are some fake regulatory bodies being thrown around in cyber-space as well. Take a look at how long they have been operating for. Try and search out any reviews or comments made about them. See if you can find forums where traders have discussions about their brokers.

PAPER TRADING

2009-01-06T13:17:00.000-08:00

Most investment companies will set you up with a free paper trading account so you can practice your trading plan for 60 to 90 days before you begin actual trading. It is much better to lose money on paper that it is suffer a real loss to your own pocketbook. Once you have proven your trading plan you can open up a margin account and begin actual trading.

FOREX is often traded without commissions (the profits are in the spread), making it an attractive investment opportunity for those who want to trade on a more frequent basis.

As you can see, the risks or disadvantages perceived in other markets actually become the profits and advantages of the FOREX market. As always, with any investment, one should proceed with caution, having an established trading plan and risking only money that they can afford to lose.

The Essence of Forex Money Management

2009-01-05T15:58:00.000-08:00

Any trading strategy is incomplete without Forex Money Management. It is not only about knowing the ins and outs of which currencies to trade and identify the entry and exit signals, it is also about manage the resources and integrating money management into the trading plan. It is essential for a trader to meticulously position size, margin, recent profits and losses and any contingency plans before foraying into the market.

Based on money management strategy, diversification, martingale and anti-martingale strategy and high return strategy, the various strategies for Forex Money Management are formulated for approaching money management. Most of them rely on the calculation of core equity – which is the starting balance minus the money used in open positions. If the starting balance is $10,000 and you have $1000 in open positions, your core equity is $9000. It is imperative that as a trader you need to adjust the dollar amount of your risk, with the rise and fall of the core equity.

If the core equity level falls, you can lower your risk amount, while you can also raise the risk level as your core equity rises. Just as on a profit of $8000, the core equity can rise to $18,000. Similarly, on limiting risk to $800, the core equity will fall to $8000. Experts opine that as you enter a position, it is advisable to try to limit risk to 1% to 3% of each trade. This reiterates the fact that, on trading a standard FOREX lot of $100,000, your risk should be limited between $1000 and $3000.

Forex Money Management is all about calculated risks at the right time and protecting your assets. It is imperative to understand that when placing options, and buying them; it is wise to get plenty of time on your side. Although, traders are known to identify trade direction, however, most fail to stay with trades simply because they cannot implement their money management correctly.

The Basics of Swing Trading

2009-01-05T15:54:00.000-08:00

Swing trading is a trade method in the gray area between trend following and day trading. A swing trader holds a stock for a small period of time and then will trade the stock when it's in it intra-week or intra-month oscillation. A experience swing trader will generally choose a large-cap stock because of its broadly defined high and low extremes. The trader will ride the stock wave in one direction for a couple of weeks, only to switch to the opposite side of the trade when their particular stock changes direction. A swing trader is best in position to do this when that market is more on the stable side versus it being a bear or bull market. This is because those markets' momentum generally carry stocks in one direction only (and for a long period of time).

The success in swing trading is to be able to identify what type of market is currently being experienced. One of the best ways of doing this is looking at historical data of what was indicative of different markets in the past, particular prime swing markets. If a market is identified as prime for swing trading, but later turns out to be a bear or bull market, a swing trader can find that there are the same up and down oscillations than those that occur in a more stable market. This would ensure that best strategy would be to trade on a long-term directional trend instead of the quicker trends that many of the most experienced swing traders are noted for.

Unlike many stock traders, swing traders are not looking to make it big with one particular trade, but are more concerned with hitting its baseline and confirm its direction. At the profiting level, a swing trader will want to exit the trade as close to the upper or lower channel line without being too close, which can cause a loss in opportunity. In a market where a stock is showing a strong directional trend a swing trader will usually wait for the channel line to be reached before selling, thus when a stock is showing a weaker directional trend, the trader will usually sell before the before it hits the channel line in the event the direction changes and the line does not hit on that particular swing.

Swing trading is a great method for beginning traders, while offering a profit potential to advanced traders. A great trader will be able to know when the stock is ripe and what momentum their particular stock has gained before making a decision. Trend following plays a very important role in swing trading as well knowledge of the physics of the stock market. Like the physics of ocean waves, swings can be unpredictable but when a large wave comes rushing at the shore, then its prime time for swing trading, but remember that swing trading is never as predictable as the swinging of a clock pendulum.

What is Market Cycle?

2009-01-05T15:48:00.000-08:00

Most of the phenomena we encounter in our daily lives occur in cycles. This is the case with seasons, the rising and setting of the sun, the ebb and flow, day and night, the earth revolving around the sun, etc. We take these for granted and rarely think of them in terms of cycles. Furthermore, we seldom associate cycles with forecasting. Today, we have accurate instruments to predict certain future events, which range from weather storms to collisions in space and the next tsunami or earthquake.

The underlying factor in this forecasting is a series of repeated cycles on the basis of which we form our hypotheses. The same method is applied to market analysis. We can use market cycle theory to forecast the evolution of financial markets, i.e. we can predict when the low and high of a cycle will occur. Using this information, we can thereby outline our trading strategy.

What is market cycle?
Let us first understand the basic concept of a market cycle. Imagine a price moving up and down depicted on a chart in the form of a wave. The bottom of the wave is the low point and the top of the wave is the high point. Each low point is connected to a high point, i.e. crest of the wave. The time between two low points or two high points can be regarded as a cycle. Imagine this like the longest day of summer and the next longest day of sumer next year in a cycle of seasons. Frequently repeating cycles over a period of time are used to define a trend and trends are used as the basis for forecasting and therefore investment.

The Perfect Forex Trading System

2009-01-05T15:39:00.000-08:00

Trading the Forex market has become very popular in the last few years. But how difficult is it to achieve success in the Forex trading arena? Or let me rephrase this question, how many traders achieve consistent profitable results trading the Forex market? Unfortunately very few, only about 5% of traders achieve this goal. One of the main reasons of this is because Forex traders focus in the wrong information to make their trading decisions and totally forget about the most important factor: Price behavior.

Most Forex trading systems are made off technical indicators. But what are technical indicators? They are just a series of data points plotted in a chart; these points are derived from a mathematical formula applied to the price of any given currency pair. In other words, it is a chart of price plotted in a different way that helps us see other aspects of price.

There is an important implication on this definition of technical indicators. The fact that the readings obtained from them are based on price action. Take for instance a long MA crossover signal, the price has gone up enough to make the short period MA crossover the long period MA generating a long signal. Most traders see it as "the MA crossover made the price go up," but it happened the other way around, the MA crossover signal occurred because the price went up. Where I’m trying to get here is that at the end, price behavior dictates how an indicator will act, and this should be taken into consideration on any trading decision made.

Trading decisions based on technical indicators without taking price action into consideration will give us less accurate results. For example, again a long signal generated by a MA crossover as the market approaches an important resistance level. If the price suddenly starts to bounce back off that important level there is no point on taking this signal, price action is telling us the market doesn’t want to go up. Most of the time, under this circumstances, the market will continue to fall down, disregarding the MA crossover.

Don’t get me wrong here, technical indicators are a very important aspect of trading. They help us see certain conditions that are otherwise difficult to see by watching pure price action. But when it comes to pull the trigger, price action incorporation into our Forex trading system will definitely put the odds in our favor, it will generate higher probability trades.

Achieving Trading Perfection

2009-01-05T15:30:00.000-08:00

Trade quality, not quantity.

Take the best of the best.

Get the big picture. If you haven’t previously come across such advice, or if you have and are not following it, it is time that you take these words to heart. But how?
Trade selection and adequate planning go hand in hand. This is where most would-be professional traders miss the boat.
Much more money is made as a result of proper planning than from sitting and trading everything that comes along or "looks" good.

It’s difficult to fully understand why people think they have to trade so much. It’s difficult to truly grasp why people think that they have to take as many trades as they do.
Just the opposite is true. There is a correct approach to each and every trade. That is what achieving perfection is all about.

It all starts with proper management: planning, organizing, delegating, directing, and controlling.
These facets of management must be woven together into your trading; they do overlap.
Although planning is the major management function involved in achieving perfection, you can’t possibly plan well unless you are organized to do so.

You must have your tools at hand: your trading software, your data, the proper equipment. All of the rudiments for planning must be in place, which in itself is a part of organizing.
You must be physically fit when you plan: well nourished, properly exercised, well rested and mentally alert - all part of having your life organized, all part of achieving perfection as a trader.

A Rational Approach to Making Money in Forex Trade

2009-01-04T14:00:00.000-08:00

A lot has been researched and documented about the Forex (Foreign Exchange) money making secrets. I being one of those part-time traders for a few years now, is approaching the whole Forex money making aspect from a different angle. The ideas that are listed below are not rocket sciences, but it is basically aimed at minimizing the amount of time that you spend sitting infront of your computer, watching the Forex trading charts etc but make a reasonable returns on your investments. This article is NOT written with full-time Forex day traders in mind as they will always have to go through the daily grind of candlesticks and pips and whatsoever. This article is for those who have a full-time job or something but want to try their hands in the Forex market, but they either donot have the necessary expertise nor have the time and energy to do so.

Get to know Forex traders in your Area/State/Country:
I actually find this idea the best choice if you want to make money in Forex. The reason being obvious,you don't want to spend time, neither do you have the expertise, so why not leverage on an expert trader's skill. You can scour the Yellow Pages, Internet Business/Trade directories, manuals, journals, newspapers, articles etc to get to know about Forex Traders in your area.

Next, do a little bit of research (a.k.a due diligence) and see if they are operating a Managed fund or so called Hedge fund. Any professional Forex trader who is trading on behalf of his clients, will have to be legitimate. Filter down your list to a bunch of Forex traders who operate a Managed fund. Refer to their websites, articles, press releases etc and evaluate their Forex trading skill and professionalism. Make a visit to their office once, get to know their offers, Forex trading methodologies etc and then make a decision if you want to make some investment with them.

The best choices would be an established Forex fund manager in your area, rather than an XYZ in a ABC Country. This gives you the best chance of monitoring their performance, communication and more importantly their authenticity.

What Are The Order Types Used By Forex Traders?

2009-01-04T13:56:00.000-08:00

During the last decade, Forex trading has become one of the most attractive business opportunities to ever hit people's interest around the world. Every day people from many walks in life is actively considering entering the profitable world of the currency markets due to its accessibility and trading characteristics.
One of the first things you will do once you decide you want to enter and learn about the forex markets will be to choose your forex broker and then download the free trading platform software from your broker website.

When you first open your trading station software, you will find that there are a number of ways to enter the market or, said in another way, there are a number of ways to place an initial order to buy or sell any currency pair.
One of these types of orders is what is called a "Market order"; this is an order to buy or sell a currency pair at the market price considering the instant that the order is received and processed (which is usually within seconds of hitting the "OK" button on your trading platform). When a market order is placed, you are simply saying "I'll buy or sell the currency pair at whatever price it is at when my order gets processed."

There is a different way to enter the market that is called an "Entry order"; this is an order to buy or sell a currency pair when it reaches a certain price target; which you should determine by using your knowledge of technical and fundamental indicators. In theory this can be any price. You could set an entry order for the low price of a time period, or the high price of the same time period'; it all depends on your intentions, to sell or to buy. As an example, one usual recommendation is that you should always set an entry order to be the same price as the 'open price" of the time period. When you place an "entry order" to buy, for example, you are simply saying "I want to buy this currency pair at a given future price and if it never reaches that price, I won't purchase the pair."

What Are Double Tops Chart Patterns?

2009-01-01T16:09:00.000-08:00

What is a Double Top Chart Pattern? A double top is a reversal pattern that occurs at the peak of an upward trend and can mark the beginning of a downward trend.

How Do I Identify a Double Top Chart Pattern?

A double top chart pattern takes place in four stages:
1. A higher new price is reached.
2. The trend gets to resistance and sells off to support.
3. The price sets in motion to return to resistance, but another sell off happens, and gets back to support
4. The price dips beneath support, setting a downward trend.

What Does a Double Top Chart Pattern Symbolize?
A double top chart pattern can signify a tug of war between buyers and sellers. While buyers attemp to push the contract, sellers resist the upward trend. When once again the top of the pattern isn't broken, The buyers proceed to back off, allowing the sellers to dominate and send the trend downward.

Watch volume in this scenario, as it is likely to increase once the contract is below support. This support level may now become a new resistance level in the new trend.
Perceive that an identical chart pattern is the Big M, which has all the characteristics of a Double Top, but with more extreme moves.

Day Trading Tips To Give You An Edge

2009-01-01T16:03:00.000-08:00

Day trading can be a thrilling way to make money. But it's more challening than most beginners think. Here are some day trading tips that can help the new trader as well as the more advanced trader to achieve your goals faster.

Tip #1: Do not over trade. The market is a random walk most of the time, meaning that it's moving around without a pattern that can forecasted. Retail traders taking small positions in the market cause this meaningless movement.

These amateurs do not affect the long-term movement of the market. The professionals, with their large volume and their willingness to hold positions longer, are the ones who create sustainable moves in the market that can provide meaningful profits.

Many traders are lured to day trading because of the energy of the business and the potential for big profits. This mindset is not helpful. The pros keep their powder dry for long periods of time waiting for a high-probability situation to happen. They are much less active than beginners think.

Second: The trend is not always your friend. Perhaps the most common axiom in trading is "The trend is your friend." That is a half-truth.

The trend is a fair weather friend!

It's true that the trend is your friend early on. But trends get exhausted and end. It's more accurate to say: "The trend is your friend, until the end."

There are 2 times to trade when you can put stats on your side:
When a new trend is just starting. When a trend has run its course.
Trading at these two times lets you put the "edge" of the bell curve on your side. Trading mid-trend, puts you in the middle of the bell curve where the outcome is completely unpredictable.
Third: Join free trading rooms for day trading tips but do exactly the opposite of what you hear!

I've participated in many chat rooms over the years, and have received a tremendous benefit from them. But the benefit did not come from listening to the teacher. It came from watching the comments of the participants as they shared what they were doing at any given time in the market.

Most of the time they do the exact opposite of what they should be doing.

Fundamental Analysis

2009-01-01T15:48:00.000-08:00

Technical analysis and fundamental analysis are the two basic areas of strategy in the FOREX market which is the exact same as in the equity markets. However, technical analysis is by far the most common strategy that is used by individual FOREX traders. Here is a brief overview of both forms of analysis and how they directly apply to forex trading:

Fundamental Analysis
If you think it's hard enough to value one company, you should try valuing a whole country instead. Fundamental analysis in the forex market is often an extremely difficult one, and it's usually used only as a means to predict long-term trends. However it is important to mention that some traders do trade short term strictly on news releases. There are a lot of different fundamental indicators of the currency values released at many different times.

Here are a few of them to get you started:
• Non-farm Payrolls
• Purchasing Managers Index (PMI)
• Consumer Price Index (CPI)
• Retail Sales
• Durable Goods

You need to know that these reports are not the only fundamental factors that you have to watch. There are also quite a variety of meetings where you can get some quotes and commentary that can affect markets just as much as any report. These meetings are often brought out to discuss any interest rates, inflation, and other issues that have the ability to affect currency values.

Even changes in how things are worded when addressing certain issues such as the Federal Reserve chairman's comments on interest rates; can cause a volatile market.

More About The Forex Market & How It Works

2008-12-30T20:06:00.000-08:00

Forex or foreign exchange market is the largest of all the financial markets that now exist in the world. A large number of multinational corporations, banks, central banks, currency speculators and other financial markets are involved in this sale of international currencies. These participants cannot directly involve in the sale of currencies. They can participate in the trade only through brokers or banks functioning in this wing of international trade.

When compared to other market, forex market possesses some unique features. It include its extreme liquidity, size, geographical dispersion, long trading hours and the variety of factors that influence the exchange rate of the currencies involved in the trade.

This international currency trading platform is utilized by the institutions like companies, fund mangers and banks to purchase and sell out international currencies. Capital flows that arise from deal in goods and services and cross border investments are the main motivating factors behind international currency trade.

Developing Your Own Successful Forex Trading Strategy

2008-12-30T19:50:00.000-08:00

The currency market is a great place for investors to put their money to make good profits. This market is free of any external control and can be worked round the clock. Currency trading systems are trading platforms that can be totally automated. A currency trading platform is the best tool you can use to develop your own successful forex trading strategy that will maximize profit.

A trading system can help people who are new to trading and can also help those who have been trading a long time. Trading software can be bought from the internet and you can install it on your computer. All you really need is a high speed internet connection to run these programs.

There are many companies which offer you virtual training programs. In case you are a new-comer and don't want to lose money to start, you can use the virtual training programs or demo accounts. In these programs, you virtually trade in currencies while getting practice. This training provides a practical experience.

After this you can move ahead with the real-time trading. Thus my first advice to you is to open a demo account and understand the fundamentals involved in forex trading. Forex trading also offers the opening a mini account where you can begin by investing as little as $50 or $100. With such little money at stake, you can apply all your knowledge and see how it actually works. Once you are confident, you can open a regular account and start currency trading with larger numbers.

On the internet there are many forex service providers. You must conduct proper research about the providers and the systems that they offer. They should be very clear about their privacy statements and terms and condition policies.

Some of the features of a proper trading system can be the following. Is the trading be done automatically? There should be proper charts available to you based on historic and current fundamental and technical analysis. Current news and a updated database should be an integral part of your system. Ensure that you can contact the people behind the system if any problems arise. Most importantly, cushions should be provided to cover your risks.

When you use trading robots or software, you don't have to trade yourself and hence don't have to be involved every minute of the day. The chances of any error that can be conducted by humans is dropped to almost zero. The possibility of missing the trades due to your unavailability is reduced. You don't have to wait for sideways or non-trending markets.

There are many options and application in a forex platform. The forex platform can display real time executable quotes, real time charts, streaming news, live market commentary, one click dealing, trailing stop orders, remote access, upgrades, and much more. It is an excellent way to keep all of your forex trading information is one spot. It can also track your history and find what moves were successful and which ones were unsuccessful.

Knowing the Ins and Outs of Chandelier Exit

2008-12-30T19:36:00.000-08:00

The Chandelier Exit, which has a trailing stop from either the highest high of the trade or the highest close of the trade, is best measured in units of Average True Range (ATR). One of the many factors leading to use ATR for measuring the distance from the high to our stop is that, it is pertinent across markets and is adaptive to changes in unpredictability.

The essence of this calculative measure is that, even on expansion and contraction of trading ranges, our stop will automatically adjust and move to the apt level, thereby, constantly staying in tune with changing market conditions. Chandelier Exit is one of the most tried exit methodology used across a varied portfolio of futures markets to generate profitable test results.

It is imperative that the changes in unpredictability can curtail or stretch the distance to the actual stop, since the highs used to hang the Chandelier move only upward. However, in order to witness less fluctuation in the stop distance, you can use a longer moving average to calculate Average True Range. In other ways, shorter moving average is required, in case you want the stop placement to be more adaptive to fluctuating market conditions.

When short averages for the ATR is used; brief periods of small ranges can bring the stops too close, abnormally resulting in premature exit. To avoid this, you can have a short and highly adaptive ATR while calculating a short average and a longer average and using the average that produces the widest stop.

Although Chandelier Exit differs from Channel Exit (which trails a stop based on previous 'low' points), the combination of both, where the trade is initialized by the trailing Channel Exit and then adding the Chandelier Exit, after the price has moved away from the entrance point, will help in making the open trade lucrative. Here the Channel Exit is fastened at a low point and does not move up as new profits are accomplished. At the same time, it is necessary to have the Chandelier Exit at the right position so that the exits are never too far away from the high point of the trade.

The fundamentals behind combining the exit techniques, Channel and Chandelier exit is that, while Channel Exit as a suitable stop that very steadily rises at the commencement of the trade, switching over to Chandelier Exit is necessary to ensure better exit that protects more of our profit. This feature makes Chandelier Exit one of the most sought after rational exits from the profitable trades.

Europe, Asia Markets Advance in Thin Holiday Trade

2008-12-29T16:31:00.000-08:00

Europe, Asia stock markets advance in thin holiday trade; oil gains amid Israeli offensive

European stock markets closed higher after thin holiday trade Monday, although falls on Wall Street limited gains from commodity stocks. Asian stocks rose moderately.
In Europe, Britain's FTSE 100 gained 2.44 percent, or 102.76 points, to 4,319.35. Germany's DAX closed up 1.63 percent, or 75.48, at 4,704.86 and France's CAC 40 closed 0.47 percent higher, or 14.51, at 3,130.71.
In U.S. midmorning trading, the Dow Jones industrial average fell 86.10, or 1.01 percent, to 8,429.45.

Broader indexes also fell. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 10.60, or 1.21 percent, to 862.20; the Nasdaq composite index fell 27.53, or 1.80 percent, to 1,502.71.
Investors, unwilling to make major moves during the holiday-shortened week, also digested a potential blow to dealmaking on Wall Street. On Sunday, Kuwait's government canceled its $17.4 billion K-Dow Petrochemicals joint venture with Dow Chemical Co., saying it was "very risky" because of the global financial crisis and low oil prices. The joint venture was set to begin Thursday.
Shares in European energy companies gave the market some support, advancing as oil prices rose above $40 a barrel on concerns about supply disruptions in the Middle East amid conflict between Israel and Gaza's Hamas rulers. Light, sweet crude was up 37 cents at $38.08 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Oil majors gained, with Britain's BP PLC 3.68 percent higher at 514.25 pence ($7.87) and France's Total SA up 0.11 percent at euro38.08 ($53.36). Royal Dutch Shell fell back after morning gains to close down 1.06 percent at euro18.15.
The advance in oil was welcome for some investors who have worried that plunging prices signaled a long and severe recession. Oil has fallen more than $100 per barrell from its peak of $147.27 a barrel on July 11 as a slowing economy curbed demand.
With many investors away for the holiday and their books already closed for the year, trade in most markets was quiet and marked by low volumes. The recent rash of government stimulus measures helped underpin sentiment despite worries that the first half of next year would see the global economy and company profits erode further.

"It will be very quiet for the next few days," said Andy Ash, a strategist at Monument Securities in London.
Investors are warily expecting a bounce at the beginning of the year, he said: "A cautious bounce with everybody desperately hoping that some of the economic figures will turn better."
This week investors will have their eye on how retailers are faring after the weak Christmas selling season. Despite steep discounts, many consumers remain nervous about the economy and their jobs, making them reluctant to spend.
Investors are also waiting for details of U.S. President-elect Barack Obama's proposed stimulus package for the economy following his Jan. 20 inauguration.

In Asia, markets closed modestly higher. In Tokyo, the Nikkei 225 stock average edged higher by 7.65 points, or a bare 0.1 percent, to close at 8,747.17, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index added 1 percent to 14,328.48.
The U.S. dollar was lower against other major currencies. The 15-nation euro rose to $1.4238 in morning trading in New York from $1.4067 late Friday.
The British pound, meanwhile, dipped to $1.4578 from $1.4677 late Friday as it circled parity, or a one-to-one exchange rate, with the euro. The pound hit its most recent record low of euro1.0198 in morning trading Monday.

Euro Forecast Roughly Unclear on Indecisive Crowd Trading

2008-12-28T12:37:00.000-08:00

EUR/USD ratio: -1.06

Trading Forecast: Bullish

EURUSD – The ratio of long to short positions in the EURUSD stands at -1.06 as nearly 51% of traders are short. Yesterday, the ratio was at -1.08 as 52% of open positions were short.

In detail, long positions are 19.2% higher than yesterday and 17.2% stronger since last week. Short positions are 16.7% higher than yesterday and 15.7% stronger since last week.

Open interest is 17.9% stronger than yesterday and 22.1% below its monthly average. The SSI is a contrarian indicator, but nearly-neutral positioning gives us little bias through this holiday-shortened week of trade. Regardless, our SSI-based forex trading signals remain short the Euro/US Dollar via a sentiment-based trading strategy.

Margin Balances And Liquidations

2008-12-25T15:14:00.000-08:00

When you open an online currency trading account, you’ll need to pony up cash as collateral to support the margin requirements established by your broker. That initial margin deposit becomes your opening margin balance and is the basis on which all your subsequent trades are collateralized. Unlike futures markets or margin-based equity trading, online forex brokerages do not issue margin calls (requests for more collateral to support open positions).

Instead, they establish ratios of margin balances to open positions that must be maintained at all times. Here’s an example to help you understand how required margin ratios work. Say you have an account with a leverage ratio of 100:1 (so $1 of margin in your account can control a $100 position size), but your broker requires a 100% margin ratio, meaning you need to maintain 100% of the required margin at all times. The ratio varies with account size, but a 100% margin requirement is typical for small accounts. That means to have a position size of $10,000, you’d need $100 in your account, because $10,000 divided by the leverage ratio of 100 is $100. If your account’s margin balance falls below the required ratio, your broker probably has the right to close out your positions without any notice to you. If your broker liquidates your position, that usually means your losses are locked in and your margin balance just got smaller. Be sure you completely understand your broker’s margin requirements and liquidation policies.

Requirements may differ depending on account size and whether you’re trading standard lot sizes (100,000 currency units) or mini lot sizes (10,000 currency units). Some brokers’ liquidation policies allow for all positions to be liquidated if you fall below margin requirements. Others close out the biggest losing positions or portions of losing positions until the required ratio is satisfied again. You can find the details in the fine print of the account opening contract that you sign. Always read the fine print to be sure you understand your broker’s margin and trading policies.

Euro Push Higher Ahead of U.S. Durable Goods Orders

2008-12-24T13:26:00.000-08:00

Despite an empty economic calendar, the Euro pushed higher against the greenback to reach a high of 1.39898 during the overnight session, and may continue to push higher over the U.S. session as market participants place their bets ahead of the durable goods orders report.

Talking Points

• Japanese Yen: Pares Yesterday’s Loss to Hold at 90.25
• Pound: Holds Tight Range
• Euro: Tests 1.40
• US Dollar: Durable Goods and Personal Spending on Tap

Euro Push Higher Ahead of U.S. Durable Goods Orders

Despite an empty economic calendar, the Euro pushed higher against the greenback to reach a high of 1.39898 during the overnight session, and may continue to push higher over the U.S. session as market participants place their bets ahead of the durable goods orders report. Nonetheless, as trading volume remains thin across the market, the likelihood for a major breakout is minimal as we head into the Christmas holiday.

The Euro pared gains against the Japanese yen to hit an intraday low of 125.98, and may face increased selling pressures over the remainder of the trading session as global equity prices fall lower. Meanwhile, the single currency for Europe continued to strengthen against the British pound, with the pair reaching a high of 0.9506 overnight, and may work its way back towards the record high of 0.9555 over the following week as the interest rate outlook for the Euro remains favorable against Cable.

The lack of event risk left the British pound in a tight range throughout the European session, and continued to weaken against the dollar as the GBPUSD slipped to a low of 1.4685. The pair looks to be forming a descending triangle formation following the sharp decline in October, which favors a bearish outlook for the pair, but seems to be testing the 1.4650 level for short-term support. The GBPUSD is likely to hold its current range over the remainder of the year as investors round-trip their open positions, and is likely to face increased selling pressures next month as market participants expect the Bank of England to lower the benchmark interest rate by 50bp to 1.50% at the January 8th policy meeting.

The U.S. durable good orders report has be a major market mover for the dollar during the past, and the greenback will be on defense as economists expect demands to fall another 3.0% in November, following the 6.2% drop in the previous month. In addition, personal spending, which is one of the two biggest drivers of growth, is anticipated to fall 0.7% for the same period, which continues to reflect a dour outlook for the world’s largest economy. As private-sector spending deteriorates throughout the second half of the year, expectations for additional easing by the Fed is likely to weigh on the reserve currency going forward, but as risk sentiment remains a dominant theme across the financial market, the dollar may continue to benefit from its safe haven status as the flight to quality continues.

Dollar Rises Against Major Currencies After UK GDP Declines

2008-12-23T17:34:00.000-08:00

The dollar rose against the pound Tuesday after a report showed the U.K. economy marching toward recession.
The dollar jumped against the British pound, which sank 1.2 cents to $1.47, but fell slightly against the 15-nation euro, which rose 0.11 cents to $1.396. The dollar also gained ¥0.54 to ¥90.77 against the Japanese yen.
The U.K. government reported that the country's gross domestic product, the sum of all U.K.-produced goods and services, contracted by 0.6% in the third quarter, revised down from 0.5%. Last quarter, the government reported zero growth.

A recession is loosely defined as two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth. "[The U.K.'s fourth quarter] could also be disappointing," said Gareth Sylvester, senior currency strategist with HiFX.
Investors are watching and waiting to see what the Bank of England will do to combat the "unprecedented" economic downturn, according to Sylvester.
One possibility: The U.K. central bank could follow the Federal Reserve in cutting its key interest rate to near zero to keep cash flowing through the economy.

"You don't want to get caught holding [pound] sterling," Sylvester said.
The GDP of the United States also declined in the third quarter. As economists had expected, according to a Briefing.com poll, the GDP contracted 0.5%.
Concerns about the world's economic outlook has spurred buying of U.S. Treasurys, which are backed by the U.S. government and considered an ultra-safe investment during times of economic trouble.

Since Treasurys are sold in dollars, investors must first purchase dollars in order to buy Treasurys.
During Tuesday trading, the prices of short-term 1-, 3-, and 6-month Treasurys, usually considered among the most defensive investments, have risen.

British Pound Outlook Bearish Against Downtrodden US Dollar

2008-12-18T19:16:00.000-08:00

GBP/USD Ratio: 1.35

Signal: Bearish

GBPUSD –Forex positioning in the British Pound/US Dollar pair has been inconsistent through recent trading, but a recent increase in GBP/USD-long positions supports the case for near-term British Pound weakness against the US Dollar.

Indeed, the ratio of long to short positions in the GBP/USD currently stands at 1.48, as nearly 60 percent of traders are currently long. Given that our Speculative Sentiment Index is most often contrarian in nature, the forex crowd’s long bias gives us reason to look for a downturn in the GBP/USD through the foreseeable future.

Making Money Using Forex

2008-12-17T18:04:00.000-08:00

Money is made in the Forex two ways. The first way is by buying low and selling high. For example, The Euro and Swiss value is going up, so your portfolio manager it will automatically buy shares of the USD/Swiss at the predetermined price, which you setup when you create your account. At the same time the program will sell the USD/Euro while it is up, locking in profit.
The other way of making money using the Forex trading system is by collecting on the interest each central banks pay on their currency. The United State’s federal reserve determines that the current interest is 5%, while the Swiss government determines that their interest rate is 1.5%. When you trade you are earning 5% on the US currency, and spending 1.5% on the Swiss currency.

The reason that the Forex market is much less risky is the fact that you work on a percent, rather then actual money. For example: If you are dealing with a $100,000 dollar contract, then you are only required to place 1 percent, or $1,000 up. The other investors use this money as a type of insurance policy in case the deal goes bad.

November Housing Starts And Permits At Record Low

2008-12-16T14:50:00.000-08:00

New housing starts and permits plunged to record lows in November, as long-standing problems in the housing market continued to weigh on the U.S. economy, a Commerce Department report showed on Tuesday.

Housing starts fell 18.9 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 625,000 units from 771,000 units in October. That was much less than the 740,000 starts Wall Street analysts expected for November.

New building permits, which give a sense of future home construction, plummeted 15.6 percent to 616,000 units from 730,000 units in October. That was also much below Wall Street analyst estimates of 700,000.

The Commerce Department began keeping monthly records for building permits in 1960, and for housing starts in 1959.

Housing starts were down 47 percent in November from the rate in November 2007 and permits down 48.1 percent. Both were the largest year-to-year drops since January 1991.

"The housing starts data is another bad sign for the overall U.S. outlook. There's zero sign of any stabilization, dashing what had been some optimism that we were perhaps bottoming out," said Brian Dolan, chief currency strategist with Forex.com in Bedminster, New Jersey.

Single-family homes, which make up the bulk of new home construction, were hit hard in November. New starts fell 16.9 percent from October to a 441,000 unit rate, a record low. Permits fell 12.3 percent to 412,000 unit rate, the lowest since November 1981.

However, in the long run, the slump in new home construction could help U.S. housing market prices recover.

"The more we have less housing starts, the more we can shrink existing inventory," said Steven Goldman, market strategist at Weeden & Co. in Greenwich, Connecticut.

Yields on 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds dropped to record lows after release of the housing data and a separate Labor Department report showing U.S. consumer prices plunged at a record rate for a second straight month.

The U.S. dollar turned negative versus the euro, while U.S. equity index futures were steady at higher levels.

Gold Prices Decline on Auto Industry Woes

2008-12-14T13:57:00.000-08:00

Gold prices decline moderately on auto industry woes, bleak economic reports; end week higher

Gold prices declined moderately Friday as the uncertainty of a bailout for the auto industry and a batch of bleak economic reports heightened investors fears of a prolonged recession. Energy prices slumped, while agriculture futures were mixed.

Investors' concerns about the economy welled up again, sending stocks and commodities falling sharply in the early going after the Senate punted a bill to inject $14 billion into the beleaguered auto industry. But markets pulled back off of their lows after the Treasury Department said it was prepared to support the nation's top three carmakers in an effort to prevent a major bankruptcy.

Stocks managed to close moderately higher, with the Dow Jones industrial average finishing up 64 points to the 8,629 level, after being down more than 200 at the open.
"Basically we sold off early on the back of this Detroit news and we saw sort of a gradual recovery in line with a firmer stock market on hope that there will be some money coming to them after all," said Edward Meir, senior commodities analyst at MF Global in New York. "We really just tracked the equity markets all day."

The fear has been that a bankruptcy of one of the car companies would lead to a surge of layoffs, which would ravage an already battered labor market and extend the recession.
General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC have said they could run out of cash within weeks without government help. Ford Motor Co., which would also be eligible for aid under the bill, has said it has enough cash to make it through next year.

A handful of economic reports added to investors' uneasiness about the economy.

The Labor Department said wholesale prices sank in November for the fourth straight month, raising deflation fears.
And according to a report from the Commerce Department, retail sales fell by 1.8 percent in November. The drop marks the fifth straight monthly decline -- a period of weakness never before seen on the government's retail sales records.

Businesses also slashed inventories in October by the largest amount in five years, and more than economists had expected, the Commerce Department said.
Gold for February delivery slipped $6.10 to settle at $820.50 an ounce on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Still, gold prices were up 9 percent for the week.

March silver shed 19.5 cents to $10.23 an ounce, while March copper futures slipped 8.35 cents to $1.4285 a pound. Both silver and copper futures also finished higher for the week.
The dollar was mixed against other major currencies. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its price, fell to 2.59 percent from 2.63 percent late Thursday.

Oil prices pulled off their earlier lows on the Nymex on hopes for a resolution for the automakers. Still, prices finished lower, weighed down by the discouraging economic data. Light, sweet crude fell $1.70 to settle at $46.28 a barrel.
In other Nymex trading, gasoline futures fell less than a penny to settle at $1.0777 a gallon, and heating oil dipped 1.3 cents to settle at $1.4934 a gallon.

Grain prices were mixed on the Chicago Board of Trade.

March wheat futures rose 5.5 cents to $5.13 a bushel, while corn for March delivery rose 22 cents to $3.7350 a bushel.
March soybeans slipped 4.25 cents to $8.5625 a bushel.

What is Hedging?

2008-11-24T00:19:00.000-08:00

The best way to understand hedging is to think of it as insurance. When people decide to hedge, they are insuring themselves against a negative event. This doesn't prevent a negative event from happening, but if it does happen and you're properly hedged, the impact of the event is reduced. So, hedging occurs almost everywhere, and we see it everyday.

For example, if you buy house insurance, you are hedging yourself against fires, break-ins or other unforeseen disasters.It is simply taking a buy or sell position in a futures market opposite to a position held in the cash market to minimize the risk of financial loss from an adverse price change.

Hedging is a risk strategy whereby investors and traders take offsetting positions in an instrument to reduce their risk profile. The practice usually involves taking both a long and a short position in an instrument and so, usually, necessitates using financial derivatives with which it's possible to short reduction sell.Hedging strategies are also employed by professional fund managers to control the risk exposure of large managed funds.

In this context, hedging is a more complex process as it involves a whole portfolio of different investments - each with its own unique risk/return profile.Making an investment to reduce the risk of adverse price movements in an asset. Normally, a hedge consists of taking an offsetting position in a related security, such as a futures contractAn example of a hedge would be if you owned a stock, then sold a futures contract stating that you will sell your stock at a set price, therefore avoiding market fluctuations.

Investors use this strategy when they are unsure of what the market will do. A perfect hedge reduces your risk to nothing (except for the cost of the hedge).

Forex Hedging Strategy

2008-11-23T23:45:00.000-08:00

A forex hedging strategy is developed in four parts, including an analysis of the forex trader's risk exposure, risk tolerance and preference of strategy. These components make up the forex hedge:
1. Analyze risk: The trader must identify what types of risk he is taking in the current or proposed position. From there, the trader must identify what the implications could be of taking on this risk un-hedged, and determine whether the risk is high or low in the current forex currency market.

2. Determine risk tolerance: In this step, the trader uses their own risk tolerance levels, to determine how much of the position's risk needs to be hedged. No trade will ever have zero risk; it is up to the trader to determine the level of risk they are willing to take, and how much they are willing to pay to remove the excess risks.

3. Determine forex hedging strategy: If using foreign currency options to hedge the risk of the currency trade, the trader must determine which strategy is the most cost effective.

4. Implement and monitor the strategy: By making sure that the strategy works the way it should, risk will stay minimized. The forex currency trading market is a risky one, and hedging is just one way that a trader can help to minimize the amount of risk they take on. So much of being a trader is money and risk management that having another tool like hedging in the arsenal is incredibly useful.
Not all retail forex brokers allow for hedging within their platforms. Be sure to research fully the broker you use before beginning to trade.
Derivatives of using a hedge position :
Futures contracts are one of the most common derivatives used to hedge risk. A futures contract is as an arrangement between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a particular time in the future for a particular price. The main reason that companies or corporations use future contracts is to offset their risk exposures and limit themselves from any fluctuations in price. The ultimate goal of an investor using futures contracts to hedge is to perfectly offset their risk. In real life, however, this is often impossible and, therefore, individuals attempt to neutralize risk as much as possible instead. For example, if a commodity to be hedged is not available as a futures contract, an investor will buy a futures contract in something that closely follows the movements of that commodity.
When a company knows that it will be making a purchase in the future for a particular item, it should take a long position in a futures contract to hedge its position. For example, suppose that Company X knows that in six months it will have to buy 20,000 ounces of silver to fulfill an order. Assume the spot price for silver is $12/ounce and the six-month futures price is $11/ounce. By buying the futures contract, Company X can lock in a price of $11/ounce. This reduces the company's risk because it will be able close its futures position and buy 20,000 ounces of silver for $11/ounce in six months.
If a company knows that it will be selling a certain item, it should take a short position in a futures contract to hedge its position. For example, Company X must fulfill a contract in six months that requires it to sell 20,000 ounces of silver. Assume the spot price for silver is $12/ounce and the futures price is $11/ounce. Company X would short futures contracts on silver and close out the futures position in six months. In this case, the company has reduced its risk by ensuring that it will receive $11 for each ounce of silver it sells.
Futures contracts can be very useful in limiting the risk exposure that an investor has in a trade. The main advantage of participating in a futures contract is that it removes the uncertainty about the future price of an item. By locking in a price for which you are able to buy or sell a particular item, companies are able to eliminate the ambiguity having to do with expected expenses and profits.
Example : Hedging Against Downside Risk:Strike Cost Est. Returnreturn (19) – put Capital at Riskmarket – strike + put
125 4.2 14.8 27.01
130 5.2 13.8 23.01
135 6.3 12.7 19.11
140 7.7 11.3 15.51
In the example, buying puts at higher strike prices results in less capital at risk in the investment, but pushes the overall investment return downward.

ForexGen Hedging Trading Methodology

2008-11-21T08:01:00.000-08:00

For beginners in Forex trading, Forex hedging is always a very good tool to be utilized in order to avoid from suffering a huge amount of losses in their early stage of investment. Forex hedging is a way of reducing some of the risk involved in holding an open position. There are many different circumstances in which a trader might wish to hedge. When someone mentions hedging, think of risk protection. A hedge is just a way of insuring an investment against risk. Therefore, it is most advisable for all of the investors, regardless of what type of investment they are in, to understand more about hedging because this is considerably one of the most effective way in order to protect themselves in Forex trading.

Forex hedging is much easier than other equity markets. In stocks, the simplest, but most expensive method is to buy a put option for the stock you own. (It\'s most expensive because you\'re buying insurance not only against market risk but against the risk of the specific security as well.) You can buy a put option on the market (like an OEX put) which will cover general market declines. You can also hedge by selling financial futures (e.g. the S&P 500 futures). Selling covered calls on your stocks is another option. However, in this case, you won't be completely covered.

Foreign Currency Hedging Costs | ForexGen

2008-11-10T06:17:00.000-08:00

When hedging forex, virtually all foreign currency hedging vehicles come at some cost. Carrying cost, option premium, margin and hedging P/L are all costs that may be associated with hedging forex. However, if you look at the foreign currency hedging cost from the proper perspective, you will most likely realize that the cost to place a forex hedge is relatively small compared to the protection forex hedging can provide. On the other hand, the whole point of placing a forex hedge is to offset forex market risk exposure at a reasonable cost - if a foreign currency hedging strategy is not cost effective then the investor should explore other options for managing forex market risk.

The cost to place a foreign currency hedge should be taken into account both before the forex hedge is placed, while the hedge is in place and again after the forex hedge is lifted. In theory, a foreign currency hedging strategy will almost always look fairly good on paper before the foreign currency hedge is placed. However, it is only after the foreign currency hedge has been placed and then lifted that the actual effect is realized. There is a learning curve involved in foreign currency hedging, and analysis and modification of the foreign currency hedging strategy are part of the learning process.

However, as ForexGen has the greatest providers and financial advisers, ForexGen was providing all clients with the best solution. ForexGen provided its clients with the best timeframe to trade their pairs. And because ForexGen cares for the benefit of its clients and because ForexGen seeks the general profit of all, ForexGen experts were making their studies and updating for it to help ForexGen sending the right time for ForexGen clients to perform their trading activity successfully without the loss of either ForexGen or the clients. And so, the majority of ForexGen clients avoided loss and great fluctuations happened at that time.

Types of Foreign Currency Hedging Vehicles | ForexGen

2008-11-10T06:11:00.000-08:00

Below are some of the most common types of foreign currency hedging vehicles used in today's markets as a foreign currency hedge.

* Retail forex traders typically use foreign currency options as a forex hedging vehicle. Banks and commercials are more likely to use forwards, options, swaps, swaptions and other more complex derivatives to meet their specific forex hedging needs.

A. Spot Contracts.
A foreign currency contract to buy or sell at the current foreign currency rate, requiring settlement within two days.

As a foreign currency hedging vehicle, due to the short-term settlement date, spot contracts are not appropriate for many foreign currency hedging and trading strategies. Foreign currency spot contracts are more commonly used in combination with other types of foreign currency hedging vehicles when implementing a foreign currency hedging

For retail investors, in particular, the spot contract and its associated risk are often the underlying reason that a foreign currency hedge must be placed. The spot contract is more often a part of the reason to hedge foreign currency risk exposure rather than the foreign currency hedging solution.

B. Foreign Currency Options.
A financial foreign currency contract giving the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to purchase or sell a specific foreign currency contract (the underlying) at a specific price (the strike price) on or before a specific date (the expiration date). The amount the foreign currency option buyer pays to the foreign currency option seller for the foreign currency option contract rights is called the option "premium."

A foreign currency option can be used as a foreign currency hedge for an open position in the foreign currency spot market. Foreign currency options can also be used in combination with other foreign currency spot and options contracts to create more complex foreign currency hedging strategies. There are many different foreign currency option strategies available to both commercial and retail investors.

If you would like detailed forex spot and option trading and hedging strategies, including strategy explanations, please click on the following link: Forex Trading and Hedging Strategies.

C. Interest Rate Options.
A financial interest rate contract giving the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to purchase or sell a specific interest rate contract (the underlying) at a specific price (the strike price) on or before a specific date (the expiration date). The amount the interest rate option buyer pays to the interest rate option seller for the foreign currency option contract rights is called the option "premium." Hedging currency risk exposure with interest rate option contracts are more often used by interest rate speculators, commercials and banks rather than by retail forex traders as a foreign currency hedging vehicle.

D. Interest Rate Swaps.
A financial interest rate contracts whereby the buyer and seller swap interest rate exposure over the term of the contract. The most common swap contract is the fixed-to-float swap whereby the swap buyer receives a floating rate from the swap seller, and the swap seller receives a fixed rate from the swap buyer. Other types of swap include fixed-to-fixed and float-to-float. Interest rate swaps are more often utilized by commercials to re-allocate interest rate risk exposure.

E. Currency Forwards & Swaps.
Currency forwards and swaps are more often used by institutions and commercials rather than by retail forex traders.

A foreign currency forward is a contract to buy or sell a foreign currency at a fixed rate for delivery on a specified future date or period. Foreign currency forward contracts are used as a foreign currency hedge when an investor has an obligation to either make or take a foreign currency payment at some point in the future. If the date of the foreign currency payment and the last trading date of the foreign currency forwards contract are matched up, the investor has in effect "locked in" the exchange rate payment amount. * Important: Please note that forwards contracts are different than futures contracts. Foreign currency futures contracts have standard contract sizes, time periods, settlement procedures and are traded on regulated exchanges throughout the world. Foreign currency forwards contracts may have different contract sizes, time periods and settlement procedures than futures contracts. Foreign currency forwards contracts are considered over-the-counter (OTC) due to the fact that there is no centralized trading location and transactions are conducted directly between parties via telephone and online trading platforms at thousands of locations worldwide.

A currency swap is a financial foreign currency contract whereby the buyer and seller exchange equal initial principal amounts of two different currencies at the spot rate. The buyer and seller exchange fixed or floating rate interest payments in their respective swapped currencies over the term of the contract. At maturity, the principal amount is effectively re-swapped at a predetermined exchange rate so that the parties end up with their original currencies.

However, as ForexGen has the greatest providers and financial advisers, ForexGen was providing all clients with the best solution. ForexGen provided its clients with the best timeframe to trade their pairs. And because ForexGen cares for the benefit of its clients and because ForexGen seeks the general profit of all, ForexGen experts were making their studies and updating for it to help ForexGen sending the right time for ForexGen clients to perform their trading activity successfully without the loss of either ForexGen or the clients. And so, the majority of ForexGen clients avoided loss and great fluctuations happened at that time.

The Opportunities of Trading the Forex Hedged Grid System

2008-11-07T00:00:00.000-08:00

I have seen the hedged grid system been used successfully (and highly unsuccessfully) over the last few years. Unfortunately the failures tend to discourage traders from taking advantage of this great system. I have found that the failures are mainly due to ignorance, impatience and greed (common reasons for trading failure).

In a nutshell the grid system uses the following methodology. You start by buying and selling a currency. When the price moves a predetermined distance (grid leg) you cash in the positive leg, leave the negative leg and buy and sell again. Sooner or later the system goes positive and you would then cash in when it is positive.

This is a brief summary of the content of our free forex hedged grid trading course available on expert-4x.com. Please refer to this course for more details of how money is made. The attraction is that the system is reasonably mechanical, can be programmed and does not take much supervision as exclusively entry orders are used.

Money is made when the price retraces 100%, 50%, 33% at various levels. This starts looking like a strategy that supports the Fibonacci concept. The grid system is also based on the nature of the market to trade sideways 80% of the time and to trend 20% of the time.

The dangers are that what if the price does not retrace and continues to trend. The Grid system can not make money in a trending market — full stop. One has to realize that. You therefore need Strategies to minimize damage during these periods:-

Firstly I have found that the biggest mistake made by traders is that they select a very small grid leg sizes e.g. 20 to 30 pips. This is a recipe for disaster. The trick is to use big leg sizes between 150 and 300 pips. What this does is that it sometimes turns a trending phase into movement in a sideways market. I would typically use 300 pips for the GBPJPY and 150 pips for the EURUSD for instance.

Secondly there is no rule that says that the legs have to be the same size. So I change my leg sizes in trending markets to be even bigger. If I started with 150 for the 1st leg I would go to 200 for the 2nd leg and 250 for the 3rd leg etc. This makes sure that I am carrying less loss making transactions in a trend.

Thirdly — sometimes it is wise to increase the number of lots with the trend compared to the numbers against the trend in a good trend. However be aware of having the same number of sell and buy transactions. All you will have done was lock in your current status in a 100% hedge.

Fourthly — This is the biggest change and most important one that I personally have made in my grid trading strategy. Always cash in all your transactions when your system is positive and when the price reaches the end of one of your grid legs. By cashing in you are reducing the risk of carrying negative lots in a trending market. This also gives you an opportunity to re-assess the market conditions.

Fifthly:- Cash in a start again is always an option. One of my strategies is to cash in all my open positions when the 3rd leg of my grid is reached and start again. Experience has taught me that this is a short term pain that goes away very quickly and is soon forgotten.

Forex Hedging Strategy

2008-11-06T23:53:00.000-08:00

The dollar fell below parity with the Swiss franc in March to 0.9987 Swiss francs. Then it overcame parity with the US dollar reaching 0.9644. As the dollar sell-off joined the increasing risk aversion, the franc gained its strength as a safe-haven currency. It is quite obvious now that Asian and European market can’t be separated from US’s slide, a slow retracement from the lows in USD started. USD/CHF price action is indicating a continuation for the fledgling bullish trend. With the pair trading just days before the markets expect to see May Non Farm Payrolls get lower -52k, there is a substantial possibility that the pair will retrace lower before a topside breakout is to materialize.

Hedging Strategy

Currency Pair: USDCHF

Long Term Bias: Bullish
Long Term Position: Holding Long

Short Term Bias: Bearish
Short Term Position: Short below 1.0490, Target 1.0290, Stop-Loss at 1.0540

Traders may consider a hedge short USD/CHF below 1.0490 with a target at 1.0290. If they hit the profit target, bullish trend might resume.

The 4 Key Players in the Forex Market

2008-11-06T03:05:00.000-08:00

When trades are conducted in the equity market, they are normally conducted with institutional investors (e.g. mutual funds
) or other individual investors. The Forex market operates differently in that there are additional players who trade for reasons that are different from that of the equity market. So for the purposes of educating the newcomers to the Forex market, the following is about the four key players in this arena.

Governments and Central Banks

Without a doubt, it could be strongly argued that the governments and central banks of the world's countries are the big players in the Forex market. Normally, the central bank is an extension of that country's government, and will usually formulate and regulate policy in conjunction of the government. There are governments that disagree with this, feeling that a centralized bank should be more of an independent entity.

The reasoning is that it could be more effective in the areas of curbing inflation rates and keeping interest rates down in the hopes of stimulating ongoing economic growth. But the government officials would still have the right to regular consulting privileges for the purpose of discussing monetary policy despite the banks independent platform.

Banks and Other Financial Institutions

Despite the depth of influence that governments and central banks exhibit, regular banks and other types of financial institutions are still a key factor in the Forex market in that they are available for those individuals who need to swap currencies in a small-scale type of transaction. So, they will deal with the neighborhood or local banks. However, these smaller scale transactions can't compare to the volume of the transactions that are conducted within the Forex market.

Oftentimes referred to as the interbank market, this is the area wherein larger banks conduct transactions with other similar banks as well as determine the exchange rates that traders see on the trading platforms. Electronic brokering methods that are based on credit transactions are the means with which these trades are conducted. Only those banks that have an established credit based relationship with one another can be involved in this type of activity.

Hedgers

Businesses dealing in international transactions are usually the banks biggest clients. Whether a client is purchasing from or selling to an international client, the transaction will always be subject to the volatility factors that influence the exchange rate. And if there is one thing that management or shareholders despise, it is the uncertainty factor. Normally, these individuals will offset this uncertainty by entering the spot market and make an immediate transaction to purchase the currency that they need.

Speculators

Speculators are another market participant involved in the Forex market. Speculators usually will attempt to make monetary gains by taking advantage of fluctuations in the exchange rates rather than hedging against the rates or exchanging currencies to fund their transactions. Hedge funds are considered to be some of the largest speculators in the Forex market. They are also considered the most controversial. A good analogy that was once used to describe hedge funds was "mutual funds on steroids."
Trading

The Foreign Exchange currency market is known as FX. It is the simultaneous buying of one currency and selling another, currencies are traded and exchanged in pairs. Traders are all unified on one goal, making profit. Profits are produced when the prices move in the trader direction.

In the past, Forex markets were accessed only by larger financial institutes, investment banks, large multinational companies, global money managers, international currency dealers, and liquidity providers. Lately, online trading is offering trading platforms for each individual who wants to trade currencies in order to gain profit.

Margin Usage and Introduction to Forex Hedging

2008-11-06T02:58:00.000-08:00

A good rule of thumb for either a mini-account or standard forex account
, is to limit your margin usage for each trade to 5% - 10% of your usable margin.

As an example, if your usable margin is $5000, to trade safely, limit your margin usage for each trade to a maximum of $250. This means trading only 1 full lot for each trade. This is assuming that you are trading in a CMS Universal account with 400:1 margin. Your use of margin is increased with a smaller ratio, as most other brokerages only offer a smaller ratio, normally 200:1 or even 100:1.

As your account grows and your usable margin grows, you can increase your margin usage and trade bigger mini or full lot sizes. If you lose money and your account shrinks, drop your margin usage back down to smaller sizes. You need to learn to keep your eye on your usable margin, especially if you've suffered some losses.

Protect your usable Margin by not having more than 2 open hedged or unhedged position at any one time. Your usable margin & equity will get eaten up by un-hedged open positions that go bad in the wrong direction...this is a really good reason why you want to use stops, and if you hedge, hedge tightly.

IMPORTANT: Don't just keep putting on positions because you think it's a good opportunity. First sell a position and book some usable margin before you put on another position.

NOTE: Hedging does not use up more margin! Use it to protect your equity & usable margin, esp. in an emergency situation!

If you break the hedging rules, and your positions go against you and you aren't properly hedged with stop losses, you'll quickly see your usable margin degrade. If it degrades enough so that your usable margin goes into the negative, you'll get a margin call. This means that the operators will automatically start selling some of your lots in your oldest losing positions in order to beef up your usable margin. This makes your unrealized loss become a realized loss...and the money is gone from your account.

If you lose too much useable margin, they won't even let you trade in your account, the message they'll give you when you try to put on a new trade is, 'Account in Untradeable Condition'.

If this happens, you might have an open position that needs to be hedged immediately or you might need to sell an old position. Or you might need to deposit more money into your account. Then you can start trading smaller lots to win back some usable margin.

Why Forex Hedging Is a Bad ‘Bet’ For Most

2008-11-04T09:07:00.000-08:00

Forex hedging is not for beginners, nor for those without a significant pool of risk capital to invest. In fact, hedge funds - generally speaking - are not wise investments for the average person.

If you are just getting your feet wet in the investment game, you might be tempted towards Forex hedge funds. After all, a properly managed fund can yield returns higher than 500 percent - and even higher if you’re the fund manager. It is easy to see why a beginner could get sucked into this fairy-tale scenario.

My recommendation, however, is that you steer clear of hedging until you have several years of successful trading experience under your belt - not to mention disposable income - and I’m going to explain why right here and now.

First, let’s discuss hedge funds. What are they, exactly?

Hedge funds are private investment partnerships, usually managed by wealthy individuals - e.g. - other investors, business people, commodity pool operators and all-around financial tycoons.

However, the Securities and Exchange Commission does not impose any strict rules on who may start a hedge fund. In fact, if you won the lottery tomorrow, you could start your own hedge fund. This free-market, ‘anyone can play’ philosophy is the first high risk factor that should steer you clear of Forex hedging.

The second factor is the high risk associated with the strategies involved in hedge fund trading. You’ve probably heard about futures contracts, derivatives, ‘put’ options and the like, yes?

If you’ve been doing your homework, then you already know that these ‘investments’ revolve around the highly speculative trading strategy of ’selling short’. Really, this is why we call it ‘hedging’: you’re hedging your bets either for or against the given financial instrument based on short-term market fluctuations.

It is difficult enough for the average investor to predict short-term movements on every day stocks; but, try doing so on the even more volatile foreign exchange market and you’ll understand why Forex hedging is so risky.

It takes years of experience, coupled with a very sophisticated understanding of the world economy, to profit from a Forex-based hedge account, and even more to manage one.

So, if you are investing for your future, your family’s future, your children’s education or any other closely held dream, then I suggest you stick to the time-honored mid and long-range investment strategies like stocks, bonds and IRAs. There are plenty of high-yield options in the latter category, especially.

Forex Hedging Strategy - Protection against losses

2008-11-04T09:01:00.000-08:00

Many Forex retail traders think that hedging is a good way to minimize losses. When holding on to a losing position, they often take up some form of hedging strategy to protect themselves against further capital depletion.

In this article I will discuss what a hedging strategy is, and why it’s a bad idea for retail traders to consider any type of hedging strategy at all… hedging is not for retail traders!
What Is Hedging?

Basically, hedging involves the buying (or selling) of currency pair(s) in order to protect the hedger against unwanted currency fluctuations. Traditionally, hedging was used to protect the profits of multinational companies from unfavourable currency fluctuations.

Hedging is a great way for these companies to protect their profits, but unfortunately many inexperienced Forex traders have incorrectly applied the same principles to their trading activities.

Here’s how a Forex trader may try to hedge his position:

Imagine that I buy the EUR/USD currency pair, and the market immediately moves against my position (i.e. prices went down). At this moment, I would be facing an unrealized loss. In order to ‘protect’ myself against further losses, I might sell the EUR/JPY currency pair in the hopes that any gain in the latter pair will partially offset the losses of the former pair.

Essentially, I’ll be holding on to two simultaneous ‘long’ and ‘short’ positions for the Euro currency. Hedgers hope that the results of both positions will partially cancel each other out.
Why Hedging is A Bad Idea for Retail Traders
This method of hedging is a deathtrap waiting to spring. The original purpose of a hedge was to reduce the uncertainty of company profits.

To the retail trader, however, this does the exact opposite!

Such a hedging strategy simply leaves too many factors open to risk. Although the Euro price fluctuations may be somewhat muted, the ‘retail hedger’ now has worry about the USD and JPY currencies too! The EUR/USD and EUR/JPY pairs are not highly correlated and may end up causing an even larger total loss in the end.

Many people like to hedge because they don’t want to admit that they made a bad trading decision. They try to ‘safely’ hold on to a losing position for as long as possible in this manner, but don’t realize that they’re actually exposing themselves to even greater risks!

The Euro Bull: New Paradigm of FOREX

2008-11-04T08:55:00.000-08:00

As the EUR/USD breaks 1.50, investors should take another look at foreign exchange. 100/barrel oil, $1,000 gold, and $10/bushel wheat are not anomalies, nor is there a bull market in commodities. The US dollar is losing its value and its relevance as a world reserve currency.

What determines the value of a dollar? The common belief is that purchasing power determines the value of money, which is partially correct, but that is not the entire story. In a world of floating currencies, money is also valued in terms of other money. Simply opening a bank account in Europe, and gaining a few % per annum interest, would have returned a US based investor over a 50% return in 5 years. There are a few ways to look at that, but they all point to the same conclusion: the value of the dollar is declining. The other logical observation is that by NOT investing in the Euro, an investor is actually LOSING 50%. This is a difficult mental leap for many to make as they don't see losses in their bank account, but as we see $4/gallon gas, $3/gallon milk and skyrocketing commodity prices, many are noticing. They only have to realize the simple fact: prices are not increasing the value of US Dollars is declining.

Who is not affected by a declining dollar? The poor, debtors, manual laborers, and tradesmen (because you can continue to perform your trade for dollars, pesos, or bananas if need be regardless of the continuing slide of the dollar ? tomorrow you may charge twice as much but so what?) But if you have any wealth; a house or a stock portfolio, denominated in dollars, the declining US Dollar should be the most important issue to you because that portfolio is losing value as the dollar does. In the worst case scenario, the Fed can default making US Dollars worthless overnight.

Best case, although unlikely it should be mentioned, the Fed could raise rates to 10%, Bush could declare a flat tax, open the borders to foreign investors by deregulation and providing tax incentives, pull out US Military from all foreign engagements, and be the banker of the world. This would catapult the US economy and the US Dollar to currently unimaginable success, but this is a farfetched fantasy. In reality, we are increasing our Military presence around the world, cutting interest rates, and regulating US markets, forcing even homegrown companies to look abroad.

Let's examine why the dollar is declining and what can potentially stop the decline.

The largest player in the US Dollar is clearly the Fed, the sole issuer of the US Dollar. Investment Banks and Hedge Funds, at the end of the day, rely on the Fed for regulation, clearing, liquidity, and currency controls; they are distributors and traders of US Dollars not the manufacturer. It clearly states on the Fed's website that the Fed conducts foreign currency operations in the open market, and maintains US holdings of foreign currency and swaps. This would indicate the Fed has the ability to intervene in currency markets in order to protect the strength of the dollar, and although the Fed may have that ability, it states in the same article that:

US monetary policy actions influence exchange rates. The dollar's exchange value in terms of other currencies is therefore one of the channels through which U.S. monetary policy affects the U.S. economy. If Federal Reserve actions raised U.S. interest rates, for instance, the foreign ex-change value of the dollar generally would rise. An increase in the foreign exchange value of the dollar, in turn, would raise the price in foreign currency of U.S. goods traded on world markets and lower the dollar price of goods imported into the United States. By restraining exports and boosting imports, these developments could lower output and price levels in the economy. In contrast, an increase in interest rates in a foreign country could raise worldwide demand for assets denominated in that country's currency and thereby reduce the dollar's value in terms of that currency. Other things being equal, U.S. output and price levels would tend to increase must the opposite of what happens when U.S. interest rates rise.

The Fed therefore officially controls exchange rates of the US Dollar through Monetary Policy. The Fed, in response to a weakening US economy and a Subprime crisis, has taken an aggressive policy of cutting interest rates, thus dropping the dollar.

So we cannot expect the Fed to solve the weak dollar issue, because they are the creators of it! The Fed could start aggressively raising interest rates and we could see the dollar soar to new highs. But there is a low chance of that happening, as they have indicated the contrary. As the credit crisis unravels, we can expect the Fed to continue cutting rates. With a weak stock market, a weak real estate market, and a weak economy, we can expect more doom and gloom before we see the light at the end of the tunnel, and in the meantime the US Dollar can sink another 80% or more, as the Great British Pound did when it lost its status as reserve currency.

Technically, once a downward spiral starts in currency, it is very difficult to stop. In stocks, an issuer can buy back shares in order to dry up liquidity and stabilize the price; a common practice among penny stocks listed on pink sheets. However if the US Dollar declines, the Fed would need Euros in order to buy back US Dollars, and since the Fed is not an issuer of Euros, it would take a near act of God to convince the ECB to loan the trillions necessary to support the dollar in the event of a default or run on the banks. While the Fed does have some mechanisms in place to stabilize the markets, the act of supporting your own currency is like pulling yourself out of a sinkhole by your own hair. Once the selling starts, it could feed on itself and create a downward spiral ? as the value goes down more large holders, worried about further losses, may panic and sell, thus adding fuel to the fire.

It would be anything but capitalism if we didn't profit from this once in a lifetime opportunity of a declining dollar. On one hand, wealth will be wiped out en masse ?on the other, it will be created. A transfer of paper wealth from USD to Euro and other currencies is inevitable; why be on the wrong side of the fence? Germans, Argentineans, Japanese, French, British, Italians, Turks, and many others, can attest to the events surrounding currency collapse and hyper inflation. They say it cannot happen to USA because of the TBTF Too Big to Fail Policy, a fallacious reasoning that came out of a Senate hearing on banking regulation.

All the facts and economic data point to massive dollar sell-off look at a USD/CHF chart and you can plainly see it has already started.
FX as an asset class
There are many ways to invest in FX as an asset, but this should be done only with the help of a qualified professional or someone with experience in FX. Everbank offers foreign currency CD's and foreign currency deposit accounts: https://www.everbank.com/ This will not excite most investors but at least you can have non-dollar denominated deposits insured by the FDIC.

For a more versatile approach, CTA's offer FOREX Managed Accounts, usually with minimums starting at $10,000. These accounts are pure FX trading strategies, some are extremely conservative and others are extremely aggressive. Various strategies can be implemented on these accounts which vary from simple news and economic analysis by traders with 20 years experience, to fully automated quant systems.

The Merk Hard Currency Fund (MERKX) is a no-load mutual fund that invests in a basket of hard currencies from countries with strong monetary policies assembled to protect against the depreciation of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies. Many consumers are aware of the falling dollar but don't know how to protect their capital against its decline. Others are uncomfortable choosing specific foreign currencies to invest in or investing in currency derivatives. The Fund may serve as a valuable diversification component as it seeks to protect against a decline in the dollar while potentially mitigating stock market, credit and interest risks-with the ease of investing in a mutual fund. The Fund may be appropriate for you if you are pursuing a long-term goal with a hard currency component to your portfolio; are willing to tolerate the risks associated with investments in foreign currencies; or are looking for a way to potentially mitigate downside risk in or profit from a secular bear market.

Hedge Funds are another venue for FX investing, but they typically have a $1 Million minimum and employ risky strategies.

FX Overlay

If a business or portfolio has exposure to multiple currencies, a hedging program can be implemented that combines multiple strategies to deal with currency risk. Large corporations such as Intel may have their own treasury desks, but smaller companies or financial firms may not have the resources or knowledge in place to justify such programs, however there are many companies who offer this service, or it could be built using proven models from the ground up.

Is It Really Any Help On Forex Hedge Trading ?

2008-11-03T08:55:00.000-08:00

Some Forex retail traders after incurring significant losses on equity trades try later to hedge against any further losses. On the surface it appears to be a good strategy to minimize losses. But in many such instances a policy of hedging fails to help. In this article, we would try to see how it happens.

What Exactly is Hedging?

Hedging in trades with purely financial implications is comparable to taking insurance policies against loss of inventories and properties from fire, or to cover loss of earning capacity due to unexpected injury, sickness or death.

To explain the concept of hedging further, let us take an example of a currency trade. Suppose you trade long on EUR/USD at a rate of 1.4595 and suddenly the rate plummets to 1.4565 incurring you a loss of 30 pips. So you enter into another contract to cover yourself against such further losses, shorting at the current market rate of 1.4565. By doing so you ensure that you will not lose anymore even if the rate falls by a further 10 pips to 1.4555. In this scenario, you would lose 10 pips on your first long trade and gain 10 pips on your subsequent short trade thus neutralizing each other to leave you in a no loss/no win position.

The Hidden Implications of This Type of Hedging:

At a glance, hedging appears to be a bright idea; which is the impression that inexperienced traders invariably get. It would appear that hedging effectively shields the investor from incurring further losses, while there is also the possibility of the rate to readjust in his favor in the meantime. This is the precise misconception that leads many investors to misguidedly fall into a trap of contracting such hedging trades.

The Problem of This Type of Hedging Unraveled:

Assume that the price turns around to the original level of 1.4595. Still you could be losing 30 pips! How?

To start with, you went long at 1.4595, (the current price prevailing then), which makes you to breakeven. But your subsequent short trade that you entered at 1.4565 would be incurring you an unrealizable loss of 30 pips. So, on the latest position, while you breakeven on your first long trade, you make an unrealizable loss of 30 pips on your second short trade, giving you a net loss of 30 pips on the whole. That is in addition to the extra transaction fees etc. you incurred on your bid/ask spread on the hedge.

Had you not entered into the second trade as a hedge, you would now enjoy a breakeven, no loss/no win position with prospects of earning profits, if the upward trend of the Euro continues. On the other hand you will incur further unrealizable losses as the Euro price rises as things stand now due to the second trade that was done as a hedge against possible losses on your initial long trade.

Risks involved in Forex hedge trading

2008-11-03T08:46:00.000-08:00

Forex Hedging is a good instrument for the beginners in Forex trading, if they wish to avoid incurring huge loss. With forex hedging you can minimize the risk in holding an open position. There are several situations that may prompt a forex trader to hedge. It can be implied in simple terms as a protection against risk. By hedging you can insure your investment against risk.

The concept of hedging is applied on every investment opportunities. Forex hedging however is much simple than other equity markets. For stocks, it is very expensive as it involves buying a put option for the stocks that is buying indemnity against market risk plus the specific security. Compared to this forex hedging is a much simpler operation.

For example, if a trader takes long on the JPY/USD on a specific month’s first Thursday, as he or she knows that Non-Farm payroll is generally released on first Friday of every month. In this case the trader takes a long-term with the thought that the market may move violently. As in Forex there is no long bias to the market the trader can open long and short positions quite easily. For hedging his or her position and for eliminate the risk involving economic release, the trader will have to open numerous short JPY/USD positions as they currently have long. This will insure the trader against risk immediately.

Hedging, in many cases, involves complex financial instrument like common derivative including future and options. With these, one can offset losses by gaining in derivatives. If you are involved in a business that needs frequent currency conversion you must take help of hedging to protect your profit. For example you manufacture a machine in USA and sell it in the UK market. So you need a conversion of USD to GBP during every transaction. But due to continuous fluctuation in the forex market, you get variable rates every time. To ensure your profit, you must hedge and fix the rate of conversion between USD and GBP. Options and future contracts come handy in hedging in Forex trading.

The concept of hedging is very useful for the traders but it has downside too. It works favorably for an investor only if he or she suffers a loss. Otherwise it is not going to help the trader in any way.

Why Hedge Foreign Currency Risk

2008-11-03T08:35:00.000-08:00

International commerce has rapidly increased as the internet has provided a new and more transparent marketplace for individuals and entities alike to conduct international business and trading activities. Significant changes in the international economic and political landscape have led to uncertainty regarding the direction of foreign exchange rates. This uncertainty leads to volatility and the need for an effective vehicle to hedge foreign exchange rate risk and/or interest rate changes while, at the same time, effectively ensuring a future financial position.

Each entity and/or individual that has exposure to foreign exchange rate risk will have specific foreign exchange hedging needs and this website can not possibly cover every existing foreign exchange hedging situation. Therefore, we will cover the more common reasons that a foreign exchange hedge is placed and show you how to properly hedge foreign exchange rate risk.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk Exposure - Foreign exchange rate risk exposure is common to virtually all who conduct international business and/or trading. Buying and/or selling of goods or services denominated in foreign currencies can immediately expose you to foreign exchange rate risk. If a firm price is quoted ahead of time for a contract using a foreign exchange rate that is deemed appropriate at the time the quote is given, the foreign exchange rate quote may not necessarily be appropriate at the time of the actual agreement or performance of the contract. Placing a foreign exchange hedge can help to manage this foreign exchange rate risk.

Interest Rate Risk Exposure - Interest rate exposure refers to the interest rate differential between the two countries' currencies in a foreign exchange contract. The interest rate differential is also roughly equal to the "carry" cost paid to hedge a forward or futures contract. As a side note, arbitragers are investors that take advantage when interest rate differentials between the foreign exchange spot rate and either the forward or futures contract are either to high or too low. In simplest terms, an arbitrager may sell when the carry cost he or she can collect is at a premium to the actual carry cost of the contract sold. Conversely, an arbitrager may buy when the carry cost he or she may pay is less than the actual carry cost of the contract bought. Either way, the arbitrager is looking to profit from a small price discrepancy due to interest rate differentials.

Foreign Investment / Stock Exposure - Foreign investing is considered by many investors as a way to either diversify an investment portfolio or seek a larger return on investment(s) in an economy believed to be growing at a faster pace than investment(s) in the respective domestic economy. Investing in foreign stocks automatically exposes the investor to foreign exchange rate risk and speculative risk. For example, an investor buys a particular amount of foreign currency (in exchange for domestic currency) in order to purchase shares of a foreign stock. The investor is now automatically exposed to two separate risks. First, the stock price may go either up or down and the investor is exposed to the speculative stock price risk. Second, the investor is exposed to foreign exchange rate risk because the foreign exchange rate may either appreciate or depreciate from the time the investor first purchased the foreign stock and the time the investor decides to exit the position and repatriates the currency (exchanges the foreign currency back to domestic currency). Therefore, even if a speculative profit is achieved because the foreign stock price rose, the investor could actually net lose money if devaluation of the foreign currency occurred while the investor was holding the foreign stock (and the devaluation amount was greater than the speculative profit). Placing a foreign exchange hedge can help to manage this foreign exchange rate risk.

Hedging Speculative Positions - Foreign currency traders utilize foreign exchange hedging to protect open positions against adverse moves in foreign exchange rates, and placing a foreign exchange hedge can help to manage foreign exchange rate risk. Speculative positions can be hedged via a number of foreign exchange hedging vehicles that can be used either alone or in combination to create entirely new foreign exchange hedging strategies.
