An analytical, computer-based tool used to help currency traders with forex trading analysis by charting the price of various currency pairs along with various indicators. Forex charting software packages are used by many traders to determine the direction on any given currency pair. |||There is a wide range of forex charting software, which varies in appearance and functionality. However, users should look for several things in forex charting software that will help them to get the most out of their trading, including: Is it free, or if there is a nominal charge? What additional features are made available? What technical indicators are available? Is the software Windows, Macintosh (Mac), or internet (Java or HTML) based? Can you trade from the charts? Is historical data made available through the software? Is the graphical user interface (GUI) pleasing to look at? Is the GUI conducive to monitoring a lot of information at once? Most forex brokers allow traders to open a demo account prior to funding a full account or mini account. This allows users to try out each broker's charting software during a trial period.
Firms that provide currency traders with access to a trading platform that allows them to buy and sell foreign currencies. A currency trading broker, also known as a retail forex broker, or forex broker, handles a very small portion of the volume of the overall foreign exchange market. Currency traders use these brokers to access the 24-hour currency market. |||Forex brokers are usually compensated through the bid-ask spread of a currency pair. For example, a retail forex broker may buy euros for 1.5475 U.S. dollars and, at the same time, sell euros for 1.5478 U.S. dollars. The spread in this case is $0.0003, or 3 pips. It is valuable to do some research to find out whether a broker has a good reputation and has the functionality that you are looking for. Most major forex brokers will allow prospective clients to use a practice account so that they can get a good understanding of what the system is like. It is a wise idea to test out as many platforms as possible before deciding on which broker to use.
A trading strategy that is used by forex traders who attempt to make a profit on the inefficiency in the pricing of currency pairs. The strategy involves reacting quickly to opportunities, and is usually accomplished through the use of computers. |||As with other arbitrage strategies, the act of exploiting pricing inefficiencies will actually correct the problem in the market. For this reason, these opportunities are often only around for a very short time. Arbitrage currency trading requires the availability of real-time pricing quotes and the ability react quickly as opportunities present themselves.Forex arbitrage calculators are available to help find these opportunities more quickly, but as with all software, programs and platforms used in retail forex trading, it is important to try them out in a demo account if possible. Trying out multiple products before deciding on one is the only way to determine what is best for the forex trader.
An examination of the changes in the forex market that are used by a trader to determine whether to buy or sell a currency pair at any one time. Forex analysis could be technical in nature, using charting tools, or fundamental, using economic indicators and/or news-based events. |||Forex analysis can be either manual or automated. A manual system involves a trader sitting at the computer screen, analyzing signals and interpreting whether to buy or sell. In automated trading analysis, the trader teaches the software what signals to look for and how to interpret them. It is thought that automated analysis takes the element of human psychology out of trading.
A transaction implemented by a forex trader to protect an existing or anticipated position from an unwanted move in exchange rates. By using a forex hedge properly, a trader who is long a foreign currency pair can be protected from downside risk, while the trader who is short a foreign currency pair can protect against upside risk. |||The primary methods of hedging currency trades for the retail forex trader is through spot contracts and foreign currency options. Spot contracts are the run-of-the-mill trades made by retail forex traders. Because spot contracts have a very short-term delivery date (two days), they are not the most effective currency hedging vehicle. In fact, regular spot contracts are usually the reason why a hedge is needed.Foreign currency options are one of the most popular methods of currency hedging. As with options on other types of securities, foreign currency options give the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell the currency pair at a particular exchange rate at some time in the future. Regular options strategies can be employed, such as long straddles, long strangles, and bull or bear spreads, to limit the loss potential of a given trade.Not all retail forex brokers allow for hedging within their platforms. Be sure to research the broker you use before beginning to trade.
An exchange-traded contract to buy or sell a specified amount of a given currency at a predetermined price on a set date in the future. All forex futures are written with a specific termination date, at which point delivery of the currency must occur unless an offsetting trade is made on the initial position. |||Forex futures serve two primary purposes as financial instruments. First, they can be used by companies or sole proprietors to remove the exchange-rate risk inherent in cross-border transactions. Second, they can be used by investors to speculate and profit from currency exchange-rate fluctuations.
An analytical tool used to help currency traders with forex trading analysis through charts and indicators. Forex forecasting software provides charts of currency pairs that display price changes over time as well as indicator overlays including moving averages, which aid analysts and traders in determining appropriate and profitable entry and exit points for their forex trades. As with charting software used for trading other securities, forex charting software is used primarily by technical analysts to forecast future price movements. |||There is a wide range of forex charting software used for currency forecasting, which varies in appearance and functionality. Users should look for several things in forex charting software, including: Is it free, or if there is a nominal charge? What additional features are made available? What technical indicators are available? Is the software Windows, Macintosh (Mac) or internet (Java or HTML) based? Can you trade from the charts? Is historical data made available through the software? Is the graphical user interface (GUI) pleasing to look at? Is the GUI conducive to monitoring a lot of information at once? Most forex brokers allow you to open a demo account prior to funding a full account or mini account. This allows users to try out each broker's software during a trial period and determine which software best suits their needs.
A set of analyses that a forex trader uses to determine whether to buy or sell a currency pair at any given time. Forex signal systems could be based on technical analysis charting tools or news-based events. The day trader's currency trading system is usually made up of a multitude of signals that work together to create a buy or sell decision. Forex trading signals are available for free, for a fee or are developed by the traders themselves. |||Forex signal systems can create executions that are either manual or automated. A manual system involves a trader sitting at the computer screen, looking for signals and interpreting whether to buy or sell. An automated trading system involves the trader "teaching" the software what signals to look for and how to interpret them. It is thought that automated trading removes the psychological element that is detrimental to a lot of traders.Both automated and manual day trading signals are available for purchase on the internet. However, it is important to note that there is no such thing as the "holy grail" of trading signals. If the system was a perfect money maker, the seller would not want to share it. This is why big financial firms keep their "black box" trading programs under lock and key.
