The Forex Currency Trading System is a system that most people are just beginning to learn about. Many people want to learn forex online currency trading but they do not know where to begin! Forex brings a new meaning to the word investing! You can use the forex to be your ultimate work from home based business. Why does someone want to learn forex online currency trading? Well probably because they heard that it is one of the fastest ways to make money on the internet today. I believe that this method to make money is faster than affiliate programs, network marketing, selling on eBay, and possibly even faster than many other ways as well. So how can you capitalize on all of this action and learn all about forex and currency trading? I will share with you some of the basics here in this article.The Forex is a 1.5 trillion dollar industry each and every day. When someone travels out of a country and into another country with different currencies, most of the time they will have to exchange their currency at hand into the countries currency that they have come in to. For example when I traveled to Italy in 2000 from the United States, I had to exchange U.S. Dollars to the Lire, which is now considered to be a part of the Euro Dollar. When I changed my money, I had to take a lesser value to get the other countries currency. Banks, like Bank of America, make money with the Forex each and every day. They make money on the difference between the bid and ask price, which is the buy and sell price. In the Forex, there are many different ways to make money; the one way I will emphasize on is the Spot Market.To begin trading the spot market you have to sign up with a forex broker. One of the best forex brokers I know of is FXCM.com They have excellent customer service, and a great software and easy to use software. The trading desk is very helpful and always able to reach from a contact number. So you can choose which forex broker you want to use, it is really up to you. Then you have to learn your basics. The basics consist of learning the fundamental analysis, and technical analysis. If you do not learn these two then you will never truly learn how to trade the forex market. Fundamental analysis has to do with knowing a countries economic position, such as housing, prices of goods, job markets and much more. Technical analysis has a lot to do with understanding the graphs. Learning how to interpret different graphs to fully be able to understand a trend and which way a currency is forecasted to go in the near term, and long term.There are many different ways to start, but I would suggest you start by reading about candlesticks by the author Steve Nison. Steve Nison explains Candlestick trading very well. Once you master candlesticks, I emphasize on learning about exponential moving averages, which I use on a daily basis, to find my profitable trades. My forex currency trading system consists of visiting Bloomberg.com and dailyfx.com on a daily basis. Once I read my fundamental analysis I move on to technical analysis and setting up my charts with dailyfx.com for free! Then I find my pivot points and if you do not know what pivot points are you should really read about Peter Bain. Then I find my target and I follow my plan. If you are just getting started with Forex Currency Trading, you might want some help getting started.

cotton on call

This weekly report is released each Thursday after 3:30 p.m. and provides “on-call” positions in spot cotton based on New York Cotton futures reported by merchants in special account status as of the preceding Friday.

commitments of traders

These reports are released each Friday at 3:30 p.m. and provide a breakdown of each Tuesday's open interest for markets in which 20 or more traders hold positions equal to or above the reporting levels established by the CFTC.

Futures Markets Research, Support, and Education

The growth in the number of markets that trade and clear a wider array of complex derivative products requires analysis and research to determine the appropriate regulatory approach to these markets and products. CFTC monitors a large and diverse array of markets, including new energy products, new types of “event-related” markets, such as corporate actions, derivatives on economic statistics, derivatives on credit events, derivatives on weather and derivatives on exchange-traded commodity funds.

The CFTC Office of the Chief Economist conducts research on major economic issues related to the futures and options markets; participates in the development of Commission rulemakings; provides expert economic support and advice to other CFTC offices; conducts special studies and evaluations; and participates in the in-house training of staff on matters related to futures, options, swaps, and risk management.

Foreign Currency Trading

UPDATE: On May 22, 2008, the Congress passed H.R. 6124, the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (also known as “the Farm Bill”) which contains several amendments to the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”). In particular, Title XIII of the Farm Bill (1) clarifies that the CFTC’s anti-fraud authority applies to certain retail off-exchange foreign currency transactions,
(2) creates a new registration category for retail foreign exchange dealers,
(3) requires registration for those who solicit orders, exercise discretionary trading authority
and operate pools with respect to retail off-exchange foreign currency transactions, and
(4)
imposes minimum capital requirements for futures commission merchants and retail foreign exchange dealers that act as counterparties to such transactions. Parts of the legislation, particularly those confirming the Commission’s anti-fraud authority, were effective upon passage. Other parts of the legislation, such as those requiring the registration of parties engaged in these transactions and minimum capital requirements, will only be effective upon the Commission’s issuance of final regulations. Any such changes to the information below will be accomplished through notice and comment rulemaking and will be made available in the Federal Register section of CFTC.gov.

Control risk by capping losses

Stop-Loss orders allow traders to set an exit point for a losing trade. If you are short a currency pair, the Stop-Loss order should be placed above the current market price. If you are long the currency pair, the Stop-Loss order should be placed below the current market price. Stop-Loss orders help traders control risk by capping losses. Stop-Loss orders are counter-intuitive because you do not want them to be hit; however, you will be happy that you placed them.

Where should I place my Stop-Loss and Take-Profit orders?

As a general rule of thumb, traders should set Stop-Loss orders closer to the opening price than Take-Profit orders. If this rule is followed, a trader needs to be right less than 50% of the time to be profitable. For example, a trader who uses 30 pip Stop-Loss and 100-pip Take-Profit orders, needs to be right only one-third of the time to make a profit. Where traders place Stop-Loss and Take-Profit orders will depend on how risk-averse they are. Stop-Loss orders should not be so tight that normal market volatility triggers the order. Similarly, Take-Profit orders should reflect a realistic expectation of gains based on the market's trading activity and the length of time one wants to hold the position. When initially setting up a trade, it is prudent to look to change the Stop-Loss and set it at a rate in the ?middle ground? where you are not overexposed to the trade, and at the same time, are not too close to the market. Trading foreign currencies is a demanding and potentially profitable opportunity for trained and experienced investors. However, before deciding to participate in the Forex market, you should soberly reflect on the desired result of your investment and your level of experience.

Gold and the Forex market effect on the economy

However, the gold standard had a weakness in that it tended to create boom-bust economies. As an economy strengthened, it would import a great deal, running down the gold reserves required to support its currency. As a result, the money supply would diminish, interest rates would escalate and economic activity would slow to the point of recession. Ultimately, prices of commodities would hit rock bottom, thus appearing attractive to other nations, who would then sprint into a buying frenzy. In turn, this would inject the economy with gold until it increased its money supply, thus driving down interest rates and restoring wealth. Such boom-bust patterns were common throughout the era of the gold standard, until World War I temporarily discontinued trade flows and the free movement of gold.

The Gold exchange period and the Bretton-Woods Agreement

The Bretton-Woods Agreement, established in 1944, fixed national currencies against the US dollar, and set the dollar at a rate of USD 35 per ounce of gold. In 1967, a Chicago bank refused to make a loan in pound sterling to a college professor by the name of Milton Friedman, because he had intended to use the funds to short the British currency. The bank's refusal to grant the loan was due to the Bretton-Woods Agreement. Bretton-Woods was aimed at establishing international monetary stability by preventing money from taking flight across countries, thus curbing speculation in foreign currencies. Between 1876 and World War I, the gold exchange standard had ruled over the international economic system. Under the gold standard, currencies experienced an era of stability because they were supported by the price of gold.

Currency markets are highly speculative and volatile in nature

Any currency can become very expensive or very cheap in relation to any or all other currencies in a matter of days, hours, or sometimes, in minutes. The unpredictable nature of currencies is what attracts an investor to trade and invest in this market.

Forex risk management strategies

The Forex market behaves differently from other markets. The speed, volatility, and enormous size of the Forex market are unlike anything else in the financial world. Beware: the Forex market cannot be controlled - no single event, individual, or factor rules it. As such, it is the closest market to what economists call ?a perfect market?! However, just like any other speculative business, increased risk entails chances for a higher profits as well as higher losses.

Up-to-date exchange rates

As rates change so rapidly, any Forex software must display the most up-to-date rates. To accomplish this, the Forex software is continuously communicating with a remote server that provides the most current exchange rates. The rates quoted, unlike traditional bank exchange rates, are actual tradable rates. A trader may choose to ?lock in? to a rate (called the ?freeze rate?) only as long as it is displayed.

Trading online on Forex platforms

The internet revolution caused a major change in the way Forex trading is conducted throughout the world.Until the advent of the internet-Forex age at the end of the 1990?s, Forex trading was conducted via phone orders (or fax, or in-person), posted to brokers or banks. Most of the trading could be executed only during business hours. The same was true for most activities related to Forex, such as making the deposits necessary for trading, not to mention profit taking. The internet has radically altered the Forex market, enabling around the clock trading and conveniences such as the use of credit cards for fund deposits.

How a Forex system operates in real time

Online foreign exchange trading occurs in real time. Exchange rates are constantly changing, in intervals of seconds.quotes are accurate for the time they are displayed only. At any moment, a different rate may be quoted. When a trader locks in a rate and executes a transaction, that transaction is immediately processed; the trade has been executed.

What is Forex/Currency Trading? What is a Forex deal?

The investor's goal in Forex trading is to profit from foreign currency movements.More than 95% of all currency trading performed today is for speculative purposes (e.g. to profit from currency movements). The rest belongs to hedging (managing business exposures to various currencies) and other activities.Currency trades (trading onboard internet platforms) are non-delivery trades: currencies are not physically traded, but rather there are currency contracts which are agreed upon and performed. Both parties to such contracts (the FX trader and the currency trading platform) undertake to fulfil their obligations: one side undertakes to sell the amount specified, and the other undertakes to buy it. As mentioned, over 95% of the market activity is for speculative purposes, so there is no intention on either side to actually perform the contract (the physical delivery of the currencies). Thus, the contract ends by offsetting it against an opposite position, resulting in the profit and loss of the parties involved.

DECIDING TO PERFORM AFOREX DEAL

youhave an intention to trade Forex, and you have your own reasoning for doing so ? e.g. you feel that the USD will increase compared with the EUR. The EUR/USD exchange rate is, at the time, around 1.2000 (the common presentation of the Euro-US$ pair is EUR/USD, meaning 1.2000 US dollars for 1 Euro). Your feeling can be based on your experience, or on technical analysis, or fundamental analysis, etc. For whatever reason, you believe that the USD will rise to around 1.1850 (EUR will be down, which means USD will go up). You want to profit if your forecast is correct, and so choose to make a trade.
