The foreign exchange, currency exchange, Forex or FX market is
among the largest and most liquid in the world.
The majority of trades are made between banks and other financial
institutions which simply need to convert one
currency into another. Yet at the same time, Forex trading is highly attractive
to individual traders who want maximum leverage on their
investments.
With leverage as high at 50:1, investors can take significant
Forex positions for a few thousand dollars vs.
tens of thousands for equity trading. A side benefit is the thrill
of trading elbow-to-elbow with household
names in finance.
Of course, extreme leverage also means that an investment in
currency trading can quickly work against you.
This is why an education in Forex trading, such as that offered by
Online Trading Academy, is essential.
Two good reasons to trade Forex:


First is simplicity. Unlike the thousands of stocks that an
equity trader must research, there are only a few
major currencies and at any one time you will be doing a currency
pair trade of one currency for another. In fact,
over 80% of FX trading is concentrated in pairs of just six
currencies: U.S. Dollar, Euro, Yen, Pound Sterling,
Swiss Frank and Australian Dollar.
A second benefit of Forex trading is convenience. Trading is
round the clock and moves with the sun; the Asian
market is followed by the European Market then the U.S. Market and
back to Asia, 24 hours a day except on weekends.
Somewhere in the world, someone is always trading Forex and so can
you during trading hours that last from 22:00 GMT
on Sunday to 22:00 GMT on Friday. This makes Forex trading ideal for
U.S. investors who can only trade in the evenings
when the major equity exchanges are closed.
Add in the leverage of starting with a small initial capital
outlay, and you can see why Forex is the choice of a
growing number of Online Trading Academy students who want to start
fast with dramatic upside potential in their trading.
Some technical details about FX currency trading:


In Forex trading, currencies are valued down to the “pip”—the
smallest unit of measurement available for a
currency pair. For example, in a Dollar/Euro swap a pip would be
worth 1/100 cent. This sounds like a unit almost
too small to measure—but in a typical (“standard”) Forex contract
$1,000 can control $100,000 in currency so a
Dollar/Euro pip is worth $10, and a typical day’s move of 100 pips
up or down could result in a substantial profit or loss.
There is no central market for Forex; currency trades are made
over-the-counter in billions of individual swaps every
day. The traditional hub of currency exchange is London with New
York, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Singapore also conducting
significant trading volume. (Of course, Online Trading Academy
graduates conduct all their Forex
trading online connecting from their desktops using a
state-of-the-art trading platform.)
The most basic factor influencing currency exchange rates is
supply and demand; money supplies are constantly fluctuating
and if a currency is in reduced supply at the exact moment a trade
must be made its price will go up. Beyond that, traders
or speculators may assign a premium or a penalty to a currency based
on expected changes in money flow caused by gross
domestic product (GDP), inflation, budget debits or surpluses and
other macroeconomic conditions.
Fortunately, short-term traders have developed technical analysis
methods to track and capitalize on market moves
without access to complete research in the underlying market
conditions—and that is the focus of the Online Trading
Academy Forex
curriculum. Students learn about Fibonacci-based trades, reversal
trades and break trades and also the management of risk and capital
preservation with high-probability strategies.
Spot vs futures Forex trading:


The "spot" Forex market is a cash market. The trade will be
executed immediately at the current exchange rate, taking
into account any pips which have been included into the price on
either side in order to generate a profit on the trade.
The "futures" market represents the perception of where that same
currency pair will be trading at on a specific date in
the future; each side commits to a hypothetical trade on that date
at the agreed-upon price.
The spot market is unregulated and prone to manipulation by
brokers on the other side of the trade, who may add pips
to their price that make the deal unprofitable no matter how it
turns out. FX futures, in contrast, are traded on
the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), a regulated market where
there is a clear view of trades and prices. Therefore
at Online Trading Academy we generally advise our students to trade
in the futures market, using very near-term dates
if they want to capitalize on fast-breaking market conditions.
