The EUR/USD Pair Fell Slightly

2010-01-07T05:08:00.000-08:00

The pound declined against the green currency in today's Asian session ahead of the BOE rate decision that will be released later today.

On the other hand, the dollar gained slightly against the Japanese yen after yesterday's decline since the FOMC minutes yesterday said unemployment in the U.S remains a major concern.

The euro dollar pair fell slightly to record a low of 1.4384 and a high of 1.4446, having the 16 nation's currency trading around 1.4395.

The pair is having a support at 1.4340 along with a resistance at 1.4435, and the four hour momentum indicators are suggesting more declines today, so the pair might breach the support and target the 1.4270 levels.

Fundamentals concerning retail sales and consumer confidence in the euro area will be released today that will affect the pair's trades.

Advantageous Features Of The FX Market

2009-12-24T08:43:00.000-08:00

Fees associated with Forex Trading:

Due to the fact that the forex market is decentralized - there are no exchange or clearing fees involved

There are no government fees or brokerage commissions. Forex brokers make their money through the spread - so when evaluating a broker, you should consider how tight a spread they offer.

No fixed lot size: Unlike other markets, the flexibility of lot size allows participation in forex trading with a very small account size (sometimes as low as $......).

High Volume and Liquidity: The electronic marketplace offers almost instantaneous transactions and the volume traded is greater than all the stocks and futures markets combined - over $1.9 trillion.

Around the clock access: Unlike the stock market, the forex trader is able to get in or out of a position at any time, day or night.

Highest leverage available in any market: Most online brokers offer 100 to 200 times leverage.

Forex Trading System

2009-12-24T08:40:00.000-08:00

The trend in Forex trading systems is towards using complex mathematical algorithms to predict Price turns in the market but which are the best? Lets take a look...

Lets first of all define what a mathematical theory is - it's a theory that works all the time. Now as yet, there is no algorithm that works all the time and the reason is quite simple - the markets don't move to certainties just probabilities but are any of these complex theories able to make a profit?
Most Forex trading systems that make money are simple not complex!

The more complex you make the rules the more likely it is to fail as there are too many elements to break.

You see a lot of vendors selling systems online which are supposed to beat the markets but they don't. These vendors simply do a back test on data knowing the closing prices and bend the system to fit the data. Going forward of course you can't do this and the system collapses and loses.

Foreign Exchange Analytical Methods

2009-12-21T06:07:00.000-08:00

"Forex indicators" is the name for a number of analytical methods applied to the trading system, whether its rules are called signals.

Mathematical approximation, also known as filtration is used in analytical methods. The main object of the technical analysis is certainly the share price figures. The direction, the strength, and the strength of the market are determined through technical analysis indicator.

Technical analysis indicators are divided into specific and non-specific. Equation and algorithm are often used as the forms of quantifying technical analysis indicators. Other indicators, like head and shoulders, trend lines, support and resistance appear to be patterns.

Certain functions represented by an indicator are taken from some time periods at the set time "window". There are six categories that indicators are divided into:

Trend indicators

Trend describes the direction in which the price moves during some period of time. Trend can move up, down and sideways. (E.g. Trend lines, Moving Averages)

Strength indicators

The data of market opinion intensity is described by market strength. It is carried out through analyzing market participants' positions. (E.g. Volume)

Volatility indicators
This indicator shows daily price movements despite their trend direction. So, prices changes are dependent on the volatility trend changes. (E.g. Bollinger Bands)

Cycle indicators
It indicates the cyclical fluctuations of the market caused by some unique or repeated events like elections or seasons. (E.g. Elliott Wave)

Support/resistance indicators

This indicator shows price showings at which market makes a repeated rise or fall and then returns to normal conditions. (E.g. Trend Lines)

Momentum indicators

The speed of price fluctuations during a certain period is described by the momentum. The beginning of the trend gives higher momentum values whether the end of the trend gives lower ones. An extreme price figures along with low momentum shows the end of the trend. Rising momentum and stable prices show possible inversion of the price direction. (E.g. Stochastic, MACD, RSI)

Types of Analysis With Foreign Exchange

2009-12-21T05:45:00.000-08:00

There are two principal and confronting schools in Foreign Exchange analysis - the fundamentalists and technicians. Both are supposed to be right. Sometimes technicians are more successful, other times the fundamentalists are gaining more profit. And usually when one group of analysts makes a mistake the other surely says, "We told you so." So, which one to chose? There are many possible answers to that question, and three of them are the most popular.

If you are a "long-term" Fx investor in search of enterprises with big capital, growth and income potential, the fundamentals are better. If you are a "short-term" Forex investor, or a Forex market trader, in search for companies who are "on the verge" of being discovered, fundamentals will be better. If you are a "long-term" investor who is not as concerned about one company's basics because you will diversify to minimize risk, or you are a "short-term" investor waiting for investor sentiment to change, then technical analysis will be useful for you.

Nowadays many traders use both fundamental analysis and technical analysis. The technicians tell you about the broad market and its trends. The fundamentalists tell you if an issue has the "basics" for reaching your investment goals. Fundamental and Technical analysis are different in many points. There isn't clear answer, which method has gained more profit during a definite period of study. It's better to use the best ideas from each side. Then the result will be impressive.

Foreign Exchange Currency Trading

2009-12-16T01:24:00.000-08:00

currency trading is a risky business with much to lose and much to gain. As a professional forex broker and personal trader, I have realized the fast profits this market can reap, while witnessing the dog-eat-dog nature of the beast, in which buyers lose their shirts every minute.

Whether you are a forex trader or just curious about forex currency trading, you owe it to yourself to separate the wheat from the chafe. The Internet is awash in foreign exchange currency trading websites whose sole existences are dependent upon ignorant forex investors.

From get-rich-quick forex software schemes to free forex training, forex educational seminars, free forex signals, forex forums, and more, the fraudulence that surrounds the FX trading market is frightening.

The Lowest Interest Rate

2009-12-16T01:04:00.000-08:00

since 1951 highlights the extraordinary efforts taken on by the central bank, and market participants anticipate policymakers to ease policy further as they do everything possible within their authority to mitigate the downturn in the economy.

A Bloomberg News survey shows that 27 of the 38 economists polled anticipate BoE Governor Mervyn King and Co. to lower the benchmark interest rate by 50bp to 1.50% at the January 8th policy meeting. Meanwhile, weakening fundamentals have certainly dragged on the British Pound throughout the second half of the year, and the event risks scheduled for the following week could weigh on the currency as growth prospects deteriorate at a rapid pace.

The BoE’s housing equity withdrawals index is projected to fall to -3.3B from -2.8B in the second quarter as a result of tumbling home prices paired with tightening lending practices, while consumer credit is expected to decline to 0.6B from 0.8B in October. As credit conditions remain far from normal, private sector spending, which is one of the biggest drivers of growth, is likely to remain subdued throughout the coming months, and would only heighten the downside risks for growth going forward.

From a technical standpoint, the British Pound is expected to remain range-bound in the week ahead, and should hold major trends against its currency counterparts over the near-term. Accordingly, as investors round-trip their open positions for the year, thin markets are unlikely to impel a drastic shift in trader sentiment, and the Sterling is likely to face headwinds ahead of the event risks scheduled for the coming week.
