The Main Advantages of Forex

There are many benefits and advantages of trading Forex. Here are just a few general reasons why more and more people are choosing this market.

No middlemen

Spot currency trading eliminates the middlemen and allows you to trade directly with the market responsible for the pricing on a particular currency pair. At FinFX all trading orders are sent directly to the liquidity providers without any intermediaries to ensure minimum execution time.

No fixed lot size

In spot Forex, you determine your own lot, or position size. This allows traders at FinFX to participate with the minimum trade size of 0.01 lots (1 000) with deposits as small as 100 EUR / USD / CHF / GBP.

Lower Transaction Costs

The retail transaction cost (the bid/ask spread) is typically less than 0.1% under normal market conditions. At larger dealers, the spread could be as low as 0.07%.

24-Hour Trading

There is no waiting for the opening bell. From the Monday morning opening in Australia to the afternoon close in New York, the Forex market never sleeps. This is very convenient for those who want to trade on a part-time basis, because you can choose when you want to trade: morning, noon or at night.

No one can corner the market

The foreign exchange market is so huge and has so many participants that no single entity can control the market price for an extended period of time.

Leverage – Trading on Margin

In Forex trading, a small deposit can control a much larger total contract value. Leverage gives the trader the ability to make nice profits while at the same time keeping the risk capital to a minimum.
For example, if you trade with 1:100 leverage it means that a 100 EUR margin deposit would enable a trader to buy or sell 10,000 EUR worth of currencies. Similarly, with 500 EUR, one could trade with 50,000 EUR and so on. However, leverage can also be a double-edged sword as without proper risk management, this high degree of leverage can lead to large losses as well as gains.

High Liquidity

Due to the massive size of Forex market, it is also extremely liquid. This means that under normal market conditions, with a click of a mouse you can instantaneously buy and sell at will as there will usually be someone in the market willing to take the other side of your trade and thus you are never stuck in a trade. You can even set your online trading platform to automatically close your position once your desired profit level (a limit order) has been reached, and/or close a trade if a trade is going against you (a stop loss order).

Low Barriers to Entry

You would think that getting started as a currency trader would cost a ton of money. The fact is, when compared to trading stocks, options or futures, it doesn't. FinFX offers Micro trading account with a minimum account deposit of 100 EUR.
FinFX is not recommending that you should open an account with the bare minimum, but it does make Forex trading much more accessible to an individual who does not have a lot of start-up trading capital.

Free Demo Account, Forex Education Material and Analytics

FinFX also offers a demo account to allow you to practice trading and build your skills. You will also have access to loads of free Forex education material including video tutorials, daily market analysis and trading platform guides. If you are new to Forex, we recommend that you start by opening a demo account as it is a very valuable resource for those who are financially hampered and would like to sharpen their trading skills with virtual money before opening a live trading account and risking real money.

Comparing Forex to Stock Market

If we for example look at the New York Stock exchange, there are about 4 500 stocks listed. Another 3 500 are listed on the NASDAQ. Which one will you trade? Have you got the time to follow so many companies? In spot currency trading, there are dozens of currencies traded, but the majority of market players trade the four major pairs. Aren't four pairs much easier to keep an eye on than thousands of stocks?
That's just one of the many advantages of the Forex market over the stock markets. Here are a few more:

24-Hour Market

The Forex market is a continuous 24-hour market. FinFX is open from Sunday 22:00 GMT+0 until Friday 22:00 GMT+0, with customer service available 24/5. With the ability to trade during the US, Asian and European market hours, you can customize your own trading schedule.

Minimal or No Commissions

With some of our trading accounts there is no commission or additional transactions fees to trade currencies online or over the phone. Combined with the tight, consistent, and fully transparent spread, Forex trading costs are lower than those of any other market. In addition, with some trading accounts FinFX is compensated for our services through the bid/ask spread.

Instant Execution of Market Orders

Your trades are instantly executed under normal market conditions. Under these conditions, usually the price shown when you execute your market order is the price you get. You're able to execute directly off real-time streaming prices.
Keep in mind that FinFX like many other brokers only guarantee stop, limit, and entry orders under normal market conditions.

Short-Selling without an Uptick

Unlike the equity market, there is no restriction on short selling in the currency market. Trading opportunities exist in the currency market regardless of whether a trader is long or short, or whichever way the market is moving. Since currency trading always involves buying one currency and selling another, there is no structural bias to the market. So you always have equal access to trade in a rising or falling market.

No Middlemen

Centralized exchanges provide many advantages to the trader. However, one of the problems with any centralized exchange is the involvement of middlemen. Any party located in between the trader and the buyer or seller of the security or instrument traded will cost them money. The cost can be either in time or in fees.
Spot currency trading, on the other hand, is decentralized, which means quotes can vary from different currency dealers meaning that Forex traders get quicker access and cheaper costs.

Buy/Sell programs do not control the market.

How many times have you heard that "Fund A" was selling "X" or buying "Z"? The stock market is very susceptible to large fund buying and selling.
In spot trading, the massive size of the Forex market makes the likelihood of any one fund or bank controlling a particular currency very small. Banks, hedge funds, governments, retail currency conversion houses, and large net worth individuals are just some of the participants in the spot currency markets where the liquidity is unprecedented.

Analysts and brokerage firms are less likely to influence the market

Foreign exchange, as the prime market, generates billions in revenue for the world's banks and is a necessity of the global markets. This means that analysts in foreign exchange have very little effect on exchange rates; they just analyze the forex market.

Advantages	Forex	Stocks
24-Hour Trading	YES	No
Minimal or no Commission	YES	No
Instant Execution of Market Orders	YES	No
Short-selling without an Uptick	YES	No
No Middlemen	YES	No
No Market Manipulation	YES	No

Comparing Forex to Futures

The Forex market also has of a bunch of advantages over the futures market, similar to its advantages over stocks. Here are just few of the examples:

Liquidity

In the Forex market, $4 trillion is traded daily, making it the largest and most liquid market in the world, whereas the futures market trades only 30 billion USD per day.
The futures markets can't compete with its relatively limited liquidity. The Forex market is always liquid, meaning positions can be liquidated and stop orders executed with little or no slippage except in extremely volatile market conditions.

24-Hour Market

At 5:00 pm EST Sunday, trading begins as markets open in Sydney. At 7:00 pm EST the Tokyo market opens, followed by London at 3:00 am EST. And finally, New York opens at 8:00 am EST and closes at 4:00 p.m. EST. Before New York trading closes, the Sydney market is back open - it's a 24-hour seamless market!
As a trader, this allows you to react to favorable or unfavorable news by trading immediately. If important data comes in from the United Kingdom or Japan while the U.S. futures market is closed, the next day's opening could be a wild ride. (Overnight markets in futures currency contracts exist, but they are thinly traded, not very liquid, and are difficult for the average investor to access.)

Minimal or no commissions

With Electronic Communications Brokers becoming more popular and prevalent over the past couple of years, there is the chance that a broker may require you to pay commissions. But really, the commission fees are peanuts compared to what you pay in the futures market.

Price Certainty

When trading Forex, you get rapid execution and price certainty under normal market conditions. In contrast, the futures and equities markets do not offer price certainty or instant trade execution. Even with the advent of electronic trading and limited guarantees of execution speed, the prices for fills for futures and equities on market orders are far from certain. The prices quoted by brokers often represent the LAST trade, not necessarily the price for which the contract will be filled.

Guaranteed Limited Risk

Traders must have position limits for the purpose of risk management. This number is set relative to the money in a trader's account. Risk is minimized in the spot Forex market because the online capabilities of the trading platform will automatically generate a margin call if the required margin amount exceeds the available trading capital in your account.
Your account is protected by automatic Stop Out which closes the most negative trade when your margin level drops below 100%. This makes it very difficult for the account balance to go to negative.The risk grows slightly when keeping positions open over weekend when your margin level is already very low. After the weekend the markets may open on a different level and if this direction is even more on the negative for you, it is possible that the account balance goes to negative.
In the futures market, there is a chance that your position may be liquidated at a loss bigger than what you had in your account, and you will be liable for any resulting deficit in the account.

Advantages	Forex	Futures
24-Hour Trading	YES	No
Minimal or no Commission	YES	No
Up to 1:200 Leverage	YES	No
Price Certainty	YES	No
Guaranteed Limited Risk	YES	No

The U.S. Session Trader's Daily Forex Question

The U.S. session, trader's daily 09:45 EDT question; "Oh dear, do we now want to take a U.S. based trade and run the risk of a price move stranding things with no momentum, as 80% of U.S. sessions do?"
The law of probability says that U.S. trade will not follow through with sustainable breaks on new positions, and with what came before the Wall Street open, we already have seen that the bullish S&P start could literally go anywhere. TheLFB equity tracking system shows that the main components that we use to gauge S&P momentum has only four out of thirty companies trading in the green.
If this move is to hold, and by default the Usd is to get weaker, a huge raft of volume needs to hit that lifts all stock indices, as well as oil and gold trade. Not to say that could not happen, but it is questionable as to whether it will hit and hold before the European markets go into their close at 10:30 EDT.
The fact that gold moved $10, or 1% in five minutes at the open, and the S&P managed to tag on 0.3%, leaves another question as to why oil has not moved too far, and further enforces the feeling that the Wednesday move could hold. The majors are so far from their previous session highs or lows, that actually breaking new ground and holding for a ride on the dollar is very unlikely; unless a volume tsunami hits.
There is nothing at all clear-cut about the picture we have on the major pairs, and the global market Usd drivers. All are overbought in the near-term, and the major pairs are all dealing with daily chart Simple Moving Average areas that really are creating massive support and resistance areas to work through.
Volume and speculative interest is very light, creating an environment that offers plenty of volatility, but also failed breaks, in the same measure. Global equity trade is flat, and commodity markets are also flat-lining after efforts to hold support this week. In all, not an easy environment to issue high probability signals.

Times To Trade

Trading the OTC (over the counter) currency markets offers an opportunity to hedge stock and bond investing, but really is more of a traded market following the ebbs and flows of global commerce than it is an investment arena to plan retirement from. Getting to know six major currency pairs would seem an easy task when compared to the tens of thousands of stock and bond options available for analysis.
Forex trade is not all about how each currency will move against the Usd, just as important is knowing when the market will have momentum, because that is key to not getting caught in reversals and snap-backs whilst leveraged at 100:1.
Setting times to trade really does make a lot of sense with the near-term view that forex valuations carry, and the fact that each 24 hour period has to absorb three regional commercial market's trade, in Asian, Europe and the U.S.
There are three main forex moving times that regularly garner attention, and therefore offer an ability to move prices with momentum. They are the 2am EDT German Dax futures market getting underway, the 6-7am EDT London gold/oil fixings and LIBOR rates being set, and the 11am EDT European market close.
Outside of that, the return from lunch in Japan between 11pm EDT and midnight, and the closing of the NYMEX markets at 2.30 pm EDT really are the only other times that prices move substantially and then hold.
At the end of the U.S. session the pattern is for Asian markets to try and initially reverse U.S. trade direction, although the lack of volume tends to soon allow pairs to find and hold support areas. The European markets tend to move in the same direction as Asian trade, and then Chicago based futures movement will try to reverse things back in the direction of where the U.S. previously closed, and re-set their books as the London fixings are placed between 5-6am EDT.
At 10:30am GMT in London, telephone bids for the gold and oil fixings take place, something that sets the morning clearing prices for bullion and crude dealers that (are then adjust once again at 3.30pm GMT). At 11am GMT each day in London the British Bankers Association set the inter-bank LIBOR rates, something that sets the tone for lending rates between financial market participants.
The London fixings tend to force Chicago based futures markets into a re-alignment program at 06:00 EDT that replicates the newly set fair values on oil, gold, and lending rates, and by default tends to then impact Usd based currency values. It is rare for the U.S. not to push back each morning and reverse the pattern of forex trade that came before, especially if a sizeable move has happened in overnight forex trade.
Forex traders really need to know what is going to trigger the technical set-ups, and therefore be prepared to ride momentum while it lasts, and to cap expectancy and exposure in things are moving against the near-term trend. In the trading forex arena there are different things to look for than in the equity and bond investment world; a week in forex absorb fifteen regional equity market moves, and all of which are movinmg for varying commercial regions, and using foreign exchange to hedge commitments, repatriate overseas profits, align reserve values, and garner swap interest.
The European and NYMEX close (11am EDT and 2.30 pm EDT are the U.S. based things to get out of the way, because then, maybe, the equity markets can reveal where they really want to go, and by default send the Usd in the opposite direction. Traders looking for moves outside of 2am, 6am, 11am, and maybe 2:30 EDT, may just find themselves sitting and waiting, wondering why they just bought the high of the day that then reversed.
Try it out, take a look at a volume study in forex futures, or look at the longest daily 30 minute candles, and see on average what time they hit. Then look at the times that nothing happens. That is not luck, it is the forex market tagging along, following the ebbs and flows of global commercial trade.
As the global economy travels trades its way out of the business cycle trough phase, the leaning is towards looking at S&P futures trade to confirm near-term sentiment, and risk tolerance. The speculators are never too far away from the S&P in times of fear; either selling into the fear of loss, or buying into the fear of missing profits. That is the reason for so much near-term volatility, and that is how things will stay until signs of GDP expansion are seen globally.
Until then it seems that the 24 hour a day S&P futures trade will set up the eight hour S&P cash market for currency traders to monitor, that will be followed by the S&P futures market tracking the 16 hours of Asian and European activity. Forex will follow that equity trend, at least until interest rates start to rise globally, and economic expansion takes place. At that time interest rate differentials will take over the valuation of forex pairs, to the greater degree.

Learning to Trade the Forex Market

Getting started

The beauty of forex is you can get started right away without any money and without having any idea what you are doing. To do this you open what is called a demo forex account. In your demo account you trade with fake money and you have fun learning how to trade for real. Your goal is to build a sustainable track record of successfully trading with fake money. Once you have done this you will be ready to try trading with real money.
The transition from fake money to real money can be tricky. Sort of like learning to fly in a flight simulator and then flying a real airplane for the first time. Each time you enter the flight simulator your skills will be improving and your confidence increasing, until you get to the point you feel you are ready for the real thing. In theory, if you master the flight simulator, the real airplane will not be a problem.
In reality, as you're walking toward that real airplane for the first time, your heart will be pumping and you will be scared. Likewise when you are about to pull the trigger on your first real money trade your heart will be pumping and you will be scared.
Flying a plane for real and trading forex for real are similar in many ways:

1. If you are reckless flying the plane you will get yourself killed. If you are reckless trading forex you will lose all your money
2. Flying entails taking off, obeying the rules of safe flying, and landing safely. Forex trading entails entering a trade, controlling your risk, and exiting safely.
3. When flying an airplane your success requires you get all three (takeoff, safety, and landing) right. In forex trading your success requires that you get all three (entry, risk, and exit) right
4. The best pilots always put safety first. The best forex traders always put safety first.

Flying a plane and trading forex for real are different in one key way

1. To become a pilot there is government mandated formal education and professional training requirements; as a result of this formal education and professional training, few pilots crash and burn. To become a real money forex trader there is no government mandated formal education and no professional training requirements; as a result, almost all forex traders crash and burn

Formal education and professional training
Whether you want to be a jet fighter pilot or a weekend recreational pilot of a two-seater, you need formal education and professional training to insure your safety and success. If you want to become a full-time forex trader, a part-time forex trader, or just dabble from time to time you need at least some education and training to insure your safety and success; especially if you're serious about making money from forex trading.
Education choices - getting started
I suggest you start withBabyPips.com; it's described as “a free, funny, and easy-to-understand guide for teaching beginners how to trade the forex market”. Here you will learn about the forex market, forex trading, technical analysis, and fundamental analysis. There is also practical advice on choosing a forex broker and how to go about opening your broker account and getting started with your forex trading. If you prefer reading a book, “Forex for Dummies” is a good place to start. Brian Dolan, one of the authors, is a brilliant guy and he has done an excellent job in laying out the forex basics in easy to understand language. I wrote an article “Forty five ways not to lose money trading forex”, which can easily be located with a Google search; many traders have told me it helped them a lot. You may want to read that one; knowing the common mistakes new forex traders make may be helpful.
As you study the basics, you will likely find the technical tools that you think will suit you. It's a good idea to do further research on those technical tools; three excellent free sources of further information on technicals (and fundamentals) are Investopedia.com, fxstreet.com, and forexfactory.com
Your broker will supply free charting software for you. Personally, I like netdania.com charts; they are very user friendly and there is a free demo version, which I have been happily using for the past 5 years.
Technical tools I use
I love trading. I was a professional forex bank trader for 20 years. I retired in 2004 and have been trading my own account since then. I like to trade everything from one minute charts to daily charts. The technical tools I like best are:

1. Simple moving averages
2. Range breakouts
3. Momentum breakouts
4. Swings
5. Fibonacci retracements
6. Gartley patterns
7. Candlestick patterns
8. Bar reversals
9. Correlations
10. Daily high and low

There is plenty of free information about all of these technical tool available on the internet
Fundamental tools I use

1. Market view - what currencies are traders focusing on and why
2. Central bank speak - what are the key moneymen in each country saying and why
3. Interest rates - how much interest you get for holding onto a currency matters
4. Economic news - the reality of employment, retail sales, and housing matters

A good free website to track all the upcoming important scheduled economic news is forexfactory.com. Kathy Lien is excellent at the fundamentals. Her daily comments can be found at fx360.com.
Where do you begin?
Of course, if you are a new forex trader it takes time to figure out your niche and if you have a job you will need to choose a particular focus of your forex trading. I still think it helps to at least get some exposure to all the tools, both technical and fundamental, that work best in forex trading, and then choose the ones you like. There is plenty of free information on the internet to choose from.
Consider formal education and training
Once you've done your independent study you may choose to try trading forex on your own. If you have the available resources, it may be a good idea to get specialized training / mentoring; there are some good ones out there.
The argument that if a trader was any good he would not be teaching is not without merit. However, there is this to consider. A good trader manages risk effectively. Trading has its ups and downs but getting paid to teach trading is a winning trade every time. Why not do both and improve the slope and the volatility of the earnings curve.
That is not to say there are not a lot of disreputable forex educators out there. Do your due diligence and you can find a good one.

Forex Trading: How a GDP Announcement Can Boost a Currency

Understanding the Basics of Fundamental Analysis in the Forex Market

Traders typically approach financial markets in one of two ways: either through technical analysis or fundamental analysis. The reality is that history is full of traders who have had very successful careers as traders that employed both of these types of analyses.
In fact, in Jack Schwager's best-selling classic, Market Wizards, two of the traders interviewed are Ed Seykota and Jim Rogers. Rogers is quite adamant in his statement that he believes it is impossible to make a living as a technical trader. He goes so far as to say he has never met a rich technician. Seykota actually shares the exact opposite story. According to Seykota's own interview, he was a struggling trader when he traded according to fundamental analysis. It was not until he became a technician that he started to make a living trading financial markets.
As stated, successful traders throughout history have employed both technical and fundamental analysis. In this article we are going to break down the basic principles of fundamental analysis in the forex market.
Fundamental Analysis is commonly defined as a method of evaluating a specific security in order to determine its intrinsic value by analyzing a host of economic and financial data. In the foreign-exchange market, a security would be a currency. Market participants are continually analyzing the emerging fundamental from a country in order to determine the intrinsic value of the country's currency. There are several key economic indicators that every trader should understand on a basic level. Fluctuations in the data of these key indicators will generally cause the value of a currency to rise and fall.
Interest Rates
These are the single greatest driver of currency value over the long-term. Most Central Banks announce interest rates each month, and these decisions are watched very scrupulously by market participants. Interest rates are manipulated by Central Banks in order to control the money supply in an economy. If a Central Bank wants to increase the money supply, it lowers interest rates, and if it wants to decrease money supply it raises interest rates.
Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
GDP is the most important indicator of economic health in a country. A country's Central Bank has expected growth outlooks each year that determine how fast a country should grow as measured by GDP. When GDP falls below market expectations, currency values tend to fall and when GDP beats market expectations, currency values tend to rise.
Inflation
Inflation destroys the real purchasing power of a currency, and, therefore, inflation is very bad for the economy in most circumstances. Each year a normal rate of inflation between 2-3% is expected, but if inflation begins moving beyond the upward targets set by the Central Bank, a currency value will actually rise due to expectation of an imminent rate hike. Higher interest rates tend to fight off inflation.
Unemployment
We will discuss consumer demand in a moment, but people are basically what drive economic growth; therefore, unemployment is the backbone of economic growth. When unemployment levels increase, it has a devastating effect on economic growth; consequently, when the labor market contracts and unemployment increases, interest rates are often cut in an attempt to increase the money supply in the economy and stimulate economic growth.
Consumer Demand
As stated in the previous point, people are what drive economic growth; as a result, healthy consumer demand is essential to the normal, healthy functioning of an economy. When consumers are demanding goods and services, the economy tends to move forward, but when consumers are not demanding goods and services, the economy falters.
Even if you are a technical trader, it can still be very helpful to understand these basic elements of fundamental analysis. The best forex course will oftentimes offer further insight into how the emerging fundamentals drive price behavior.

Impact of interest rates on currency rates and foreign exchange markets

Foreign exchange market is one of the most famous modes of trading today. In the past, foreign exchange trading was reserved only for the rich and high-ranking financial establishments. Today, many people including the average earners are part of the business. However, traders should know that the minimum interest rates have lots of influence on foreign exchange markets and currency rates.
Besides such factors like inflation, and exchange rate, interest rates is a major determining factor of a country’s economic level. Interest rates are among the most analyzed and watched governmental manipulated economic measures.  The interest rates from central banks to a great extent influences the way customers are charged.
For example, if the economy is performing below schedule, the duty of the central bank at this point is to lower the interest rates; this will make it easy for people to borrow. In most cases, this boosts the consumer spending which will in the long run expand the economy. In a scorching economy, the central bank normally slows down the inflation rate, thereby making borrowing more expensive. Central bank is bent on regulating the country’s economy.
Investors are always interested in interest rates especially those ones that are seeking for synthesis of safety of funds and yield returns. If interest rates are high, there will be an increased demand for assets denominated in that currency, but when the reverse is the case, it will give rise to a jump or paradigm shift from that currency to another. All these take effect simultaneously.  And traders make good money when either is the case.
All we are saying is that a rise in interest rate will give birth to appreciation; that is a great rise of sterling against another currency while a fall in the interest rate will pave way for a depreciation; a fall in the value sterling against another currency(ies) as the case may be.
The interest rate influences the foreign exchange markets and currency rates because it has a great impact on the demand and supply of those foreign currencies. Lots of people are making good money by moving funds from one currency to another; by taking maximum advantage of the returns in several countries.
To cite an example, if the interest rate in the United States is 3% but was about 5% in the United Kingdom, you will gain lots of benefits by transferring money in dollars based securities to the denominated. (We are talking about transferring money from a bank account that pays 3% to another that is paying higher). This will mount severe pressure on the volume of sterling and then push its value against the dollar.
The summary is that interest rates affect foreign exchange rates and currencies in a great deal. The information above is some of the ways such happens in the present day global economy. You will advance higher in your foreign exchange business if you also conduct your own research and study magazines, newspapers and latest central bank reports on the expected trading in future.
