Making Money Using Forex
Wednesday, December 17, 2008
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.

ForexGen Hedging Trading Methodology
Friday, November 21, 2008
Forex 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.
ForexGen Trading Station is the client's part of the online ForexGen Trading Platform. We provide all the needed trading tools for a successful trading. We attempt to supply the sufficient information and tools in order to make the Forex traders' decisions more appropriate and easy.

Margin Usage and Introduction to Forex Hedging
Thursday, November 6, 2008
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.

Risks involved in Forex hedge trading
Monday, November 3, 2008
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.

Making Money in ForexGen
Sunday, August 17, 2008
Whether you’re a stock broker, mortgage broker or loan officer, FOREX trading is an essential part of one’s portfolio. FOREX trading is an extremely lucrative, yet volatile and risky market. The facts state that 95% of FOREX traders lose money in there first year of trading. Why then must FOREX be considered a part of one’s portfolio? Simply because trading FOREX has the potential to make anyone who is willing to learn the FOREX market thousands of dollars per month.It wasn’t until recently that average everyday people were able to trade in the FOREX market. Now it’s easy to obtain a mini account, fund it with $300 and off you go.
However, if trading the FOREX market were this easy, then everybody would become millionaires and this just isn’t the case.FOREX trading requires consistent analysis of the market. There are two ways that FOREX traders assess the market.
The first is what is known as fundamentals. Fundamentals rely on news events such as, CPI, retail sales and home sales. FOREX traders will make a projection for upcoming data and place their trade based on their speculations of upcoming news events.Another type of FOREX trader is what we call a technical trader. FOREX technical traders rely on chats and mathematical formulas to place their traders. The idea is that history repeats itself. Based on historical patterns FOREX traders can use this data to predict price movement in the future.There is no proven method to trading.
Some people claim to have found the Holy Grail to FOREX trading. However, through my experience it’s best to develop your own method of trading. Decide the best time to trade, develop good money management, and set goals. A lot of experienced FOREX traders trade the London and New York overlap between the hours of 9:30 am GMT and 2:00pm GMT. The reason for this being is that during this time the market moves a lot and becomes extremely volatile. Many FOREX traders are extremely good when it comes to managing their money.The key to success in FOREX trading is to block out your emotions and anxiety.
A true FOREX trader will discipline themselves to stick to their trading style regardless of what happens in the markets. Many people feel as though just after a few short months of trading successfully in a demo account they are ready for the real thing. Take your time and really learn how the FOREX market works.

Advantages of Corporate Managed Accounts
Profiting In All Market Conditions: Unlike equity and fixed income managers, a currency hedge fund manager employs both long and short positions with equal facility. In currency trading there is no difference in profit potential between a long and short position. Because of this characteristic a currency portfolio is not ‘biased long’ but able to profit under any market conditions.
Diversification: The performance of equity and fixed income investments in one country is often highly correlated with the performance of equity and fixed income investments in other countries. As a result, global portfolios composed solely of equity and fixed income investments lack full diversification, even if they are geographically dispersed. Investing in currencies gives investors access to markets beyond equity and fixed income investments, providing more complete diversification and a reduction in portfolio risk.
Optimization of ROI: When combined with an investor’s existing portfolio of equity and fixed income instruments, the Forex Managed Account Program reduces the volatility and risk of that portfolio while enhancing long-term returns.
Risk Management: Investing in currencies incorporates disciplined risk control procedures in order to limit risk and achieve the smoothest possible growth in its investors’ account value. Leverage is an acceptable and useful tool when used judiciously and with strict risk management techniques. Investors in currencies are therefore able to achieve a high rate of return with a level of risk control that is not possible with traditional “buy and hold” investments. Although returns are far from guaranteed, professional hedge fund managers tend to out perform individual speculators by their deployment of disciplined money management techniques and a system trading approach. Professional hedge funds also tend to use their leverage more judiciously thus avoiding sudden catastrophic losses.
