Competition Heats Up in Retail Forex

Feb 27, 3:15AM

The last few weeks have witnessed a number of major developments in the retail forex world: more mainstream firms  entering the fold, and existing firms are moving to beef up their forex operations. Not only will this permanently alter the competitive landscape, but it should also benefit traders in the form of more choice, lower [...]

Untangling the Puzzle of Risk Appetite

Feb 24, 5:49PM

When analyzing forex, nothing is more satisfying than establishing a strong correlation between a particular currency pair and another quantifiable investment vehicle. You see – we fundamental analysts love to kid ourselves that we can actually explain what’s going in the forex markets, but it’s only when you can visually observe (and statistically confirm) a [...]

Chinese Yuan: Further Appreciation is Inevitable

Feb 22, 4:47PM

Relatively speaking, the Chinese Yuan has been on a tear, appreciating ~1% in a little more than a month. One has to wonder whether this is a concession by the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) that its exchange rate regime is not viable or whether its instead a political sop. The question on everyone’s minds, [...]

EU Ponders Tobin Tax

Feb 20, 3:21PM

Only two years after the worst financial crisis in decades, the DJIA is now back above 12,000. Yield-hungry investors are pouring record amounts of cash into emerging markets. Commodities and food prices are rising into bubble territory. In fact, not a single meaningful reform has yet to be passed that would prevent such an event [...]

The Obama Budget and the Dollar

Feb 18, 5:50AM

Last week, the Obama Administration released its fiscal 2012 budget to much fanfare. Unfortunately, the budget makes only a token effort to address the rising National debt, and forecasts a budget deficit of $1.1 Trillion. While the release of the budget failed to make a splash in currency markets, traders would be wise to understand [...]

Hedging High Forex Uncertainty

Feb 15, 11:17AM

In forex, everything is relative. That is no less the case for forex volatility, which is low relative to the spikes in 2008 (credit crisis) and 2010 (EU Sovereign debt crisis), but high relative to the preceding 5+ years of stability. On the one hand, volatility is approaching a two year low. On the other [...]

Forex Markets Look to Interest Rates for Guidance

Feb 11, 10:38AM

There are a number of forces currently competing for control of forex markets: the ebb and flow of risk appetite, Central Bank currency intervention, comparative economic growth differentials, and numerous technical factors. Soon, traders will have to add one more item to their list of must-watch variables: interest rates. Interest rates around the world remain [...]

CFTC / NFA Enhance Regulation of Forex

Feb 08, 2:04PM

In 2010, the US Commodity Future Trading Commission (CFTC) formally released a series of new regulations governing all retail foreign exchange dealers. Having given all applicable firms almost six months to bring their operations up to speed with the new regulations, the CFTC is now moving to bring enforcement actions against those that are still [...]

Has the Swiss Franc Reached its Limit?

Feb 06, 1:26PM

The second half of 2010 witnessed a 20% rise in the Swiss Franc (against the US Dollar), which experienced an upswing more closely associated with equities than with currencies. It has managed to entrench itself well above parity with the Dollar, and has become a favored destination for investors looking for a safer alternative to [...]

Despite Recent Rise, Euro Still Looks Weak

Feb 03, 3:14PM

As the Euro moves past $1.38 per Dollar towards a 1-year high, many traders are wondering if perhaps the common currency’s woes aren’t in the past. This would be a mistake. That’s because most of the forces behind the Euro’s rally actually have very little to do with the Euro. The main cause of Euro [...]

Forex Market Terminology

Posted: 27 Feb 2011 07:52 AM PST

Once start trading at the Forex market, one have to become used to with the huge amount of information. It is difficult for a new trader to learn the jargon s. Few terms used in currency exchange are easy to understand, whereas others are not. Some of the most common Forex trading terms are:

Bid

The price offered to buyers of foreign currency or an instrument to purchase.

Entry Orders

This is principally an advance order. Exchange takes place when the rate of a currency is reached at that pre-decided level.

Long Position

When the trend buying and selling long term securities is prevailing in market then it is called long position.

Lot

The unit used for measuring the amount of a deal. Normally, a group of goods or services that are used in a transaction. For exchange-traded securities, a lot may stand for the least quantity of that security that may be traded. The value of the deal always corresponds to an integer number of lots.

Margin

The least amount of money needed to trade, for example the margin may be 10 lot for $100 and therefore you would need $3000 in your account to trade 3 lots.

Market Order

It is an order to acquire or sell stocks or commodities at the current market price. It is executed while buying a currency.

Offer

The price at which a seller is agreed to sell an instrument. The best offer is the lowest available price. When one party shows interest to buy or sell an instrument from another party, the offered price is often the high. The buyer pays to purchase an instrument at the lowest price that the seller accepts.

Pip


The least price change that an exchange rate can make. Mostly the currency pairs are priced to four decimal places. The minimum change is that the last decimal point. For most pairs this is the equivalent of 1/100 of one percent.

Spot Deal

A foreign exchange deals in which there is a mutual contract between parties exchanging a certain amount of a currency for getting a certain amount of another currency from a 2nd counter party. It is based on pre defined exchange rate, within two business days of the deal date. Apart from for the Canadian dollar, where the spot delivery is executed within one business day.

Stop-Loss Order

This function is offered by some brokers who aim to reduce risk. The maximum and minimum amount of profit or loss can be decided to execute trade at. This approach allows investors to decide their loss limit earlier which helps to prevent emotional decision-making.

Spread

The difference between the bid and offer rates of a security or an asset.

Short Position

When the buying and selling of short term securities is prevailing in market then it is called short position.

Trend

The direction in which the market is currently moving on is called trend.
