Online Forex Trading System

2007-11-24T10:19:00.000-08:00

Many of you have probably noticed that I havn't updated this website for some time now with the latest courses and systems available online. The reason for this is because I am now working on producing a "definative guide" on Trading Systems and methodologies available to trade. After all I have learnt a lot from the courses, systems, and books I have been reading, as well as from operating this website.

If you would like to really stay up to date with my own findings and developments please consider joining my mailing list. I have decided that this is the easiest way to keep you updated. (signup form below)

Oh, by the way I HATE Spam MORE than you do so please be assured to know I will never spam or give away your email address to anyone.

I am not sure when I will have completed the "definative guide" I mentioned above, however I will keep you updated on how I am going.

The aim in creating this website is to save you time, money, and effort, in your search for the best forex trading system reviews information, and education available online. Whether you’re interested in learning an already developed trading system, or want to learn how to develop your own system, you should find something of interest here.

It is important that you understand that although a forex trading system may be the most interesting aspect of trading, it is not the only aspect you need to take into account. In fact World-Renowned Trading Coach Dr Van Tharp in an interview said: “I've conducted a study in which you can use a coin flip for entry and still make money if you use the other components effectively.” These “other components” include money management, (which is further discussed on the Developing a Forex Trading System page), as well as trading psychology. Dr. Tharp also offers unique trading courses that cover these often overlooked factors.

The degree to which you understand and properly make use of these factors altogether will determine if you will be one of the elite few (less than 10% of traders) that actually succeed, and make money.

There are also other various educational topics related to forex trading, which can be seen on the navigation bar on the left hand side of your screen, such as, information on some of the most popular forms of technical analysis used in trading the forex market, as well as guidelines on how to choose a reputable forex broker which you will need after you have fully developed or have learnt a forex currency trading system, and know exactly how you will go about trading it.

There is also information on some of the more popular forex trading signal providers available online, should you wish not to spend the time analyzing charts yourself, as well as information on forex trading courses if you’re fairly new to the forex market

Risk Disclosure: Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose.

Higher sterling money market rates and indications that U.K. inflation isn't backing down as quickly as some hoped. By Nicholas Hastings
LONDON (Dow Jones)--Higher sterling money market rates and indications that U.K. inflation isn't backing down as quickly as some hoped are helping to underpin the pound, especially against the dollar. Nevertheless, sterling is still expected to continue its slide as the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis takes its toll on U.K. financial institutions and the U.K.'s own housing market deteriorates. BNP Paribas is looking for particularly heavy losses against the Swiss franc, taking it down to levels last registered in 2003, as risk aversion continues to rise.

Are you thinking that rising risk aversion will slow the dollar's decline? Perhaps you should think again. By Nicholas Hastings
Are you thinking that rising risk aversion will slow the dollar's decline? Perhaps you should think again. By Nicholas Hastings
LONDON (Dow Jones)--The standard argument that lower global risk appetite makes riskier assets less attractive and boosts the dollar may no longer hold true. Not only has the dollar become less popular given the spread of the subprime mortgage crisis through the U.S. economy, encouraging a further diversification out of U.S. assets, but data on investor flows from the U.S. Treasury last Friday indicate a reversal in sentiment.

Brazil Continues to Intervene

For nearly two months, the Central Bank of Brazil was content to sit on the sidelines and watch its currency, the Real, appreciate rapidly against the Dollar. Beginning on October 8, however, the Central Bank has intervened in forex markets every day as part of a targeted effort to depress the Real. Its efforts have been relatively straightforward; rather than issue currency stabilization bonds, the Central Bank has opted to purchase massive quantities of Dollar-denominated assets in the open market, bringing its foreign exchange reserves to $168 Billion. Moreover, its efforts have been largely successful, as the Real has fallen slightly against the Dollar during this period of intervention. However, logic (and past experience) dictate that as soon as it stops intervening, the Real will resume its previous (upward) course against the Dollar. Bloomberg News reports:

Foreign flows into Brazilian financial markets and booming commodity exports have made the real the best performer against the dollar this year among the 16 most-actively traded currencies tracked by Bloomberg, gaining 20 percent.

Carry Trade Continues to Suffer

The carry trade is officially unwinding, if not coming to an outright end; the result is that the Yen is belatedly joining the ranks of the rest of the world's major currencies, which have risen tremendously against the Dollar. The reason for the sudden weakness in the carry trade (i.e. Yen strength) is volatility. The US "credit crunch" began to significantly effect US bond and stock market valuations almost four months ago, but the full impact still hasn't been felt. The latest development concerns the quarterly earnings release for Freddie Mac, an American company whose main purpose is to provide liquidity to the US mortgage market, through the buying and selling of mortgage-backed securities. However, Freddie Mac is now bleeding money, and while it is unofficially guaranteed by the federal government, investors are seriously questioning its ability to prop up the ailing market for housing CDOs. And this uncertainty is causing investors to eschew risk, in short, to abandon the carry trade in favor of more traditional forex strategies. Reuters reports:

The low-yielding Japanese currency tends to do well in times of risk aversion because investors unwind carry trades that use cheaply borrowed yen to buy higher-yielding currencies.

Swiss Franc Benefits from Volatility

As the Japanese Yen continues to enjoy the carry trade limelight, another currency fulfilling a similar role has been largely overlooked: the Swiss Franc. While not quite as low as rates in Japan, Swiss interest rates are still extremely modest by international standards. As a result, many carry traders have used the Swiss Franc in much the same way as the Japanese Yen, selling it short in favor of higher-yielding currencies. And, just as the Japanese Yen has begun climbing over the last few months, so has the Swiss Franc. The volatility in capital markets caused by the credit crunch is just as prevalent in forex markets, and is leading currency traders to eschew yield (high interest rates) in favor of stability, which benefits currencies like the Franc. The Economic Times reports:

Another trader with a multinational bank said with carry trades now coming under heavy pressure and banks being reluctant to fund investors entering into such trades, risk aversion seems to be taking over the global currency markets.

Fed to Hold Rates?

In a recent speech, a prominent Federal Reserve Board governor strongly hinted that the Fed would maintain US interest rates at current levels at the Fed's next meeting. The Fed is caught in the delicate position of trying to balance economic growth with the specter of inflation. While technically the Fed is always trying to meditate between these two outcomes, its current position is especially tenuous since the US economy is trending downward while inflation trends upward. Despite the emphatic claims to the contrary, futures markets are still pricing in a rate cut, setting the stage for a showdown with the Fed. As usual, the Dollar's fate hangs in the balance. The Financial Times reports:

Mr Kroszner said that in the near term "the economy will probably go through a rough patch" with falls in house prices, home construction and subdued consumer spending. He did not rule out a future cut in rates.

Yen Carry Trade: Going Strong or Coming to an End

Yesterday, the Financial Times ran two stories on the Japanese carry trade, painting a seemingly contradictory picture. The first article profiled the rise in the number of retail forex accounts in Japan, projected to reach 1 million by year-end. More amazing is the fact that many of these traders are actually quite sophisticated, taking long and short positions in multiple currencies, though of course the most popular bet remains the carry trade, which involves going short the Yen and long a higher-yielding currency. Meanwhile, as the second article expounded, the Yen carry trade is under pressure, having appreciated nearly 5% against the US Dollar, Euro and Australian Dollar. The cause is certainly volatility in global capital markets, precipitated by what has been termed a "credit crunch," itself caused by the slump in housing prices. The hoard of Japanese retail investors may have to reverse their positions...

Why China Should Not Dump the Dollar

In fact, China may have to increase its exposure to the dollar, according to the comments of Brad Setser of the Council of Foreign Relations: "In my mind, so long as China resists more rapid appreciation of the renminbi versus the dollar, it's rather difficult for China to diversify in any meaningful way against the dollar. If China really started to diversify away from the dollar, I think it's a big enough player that it would put downward additional pressure on the dollar."

And additional downard pressure on the USD should be what China is trying to avoid. China, being the largest exporter to the U.S. does not want to see appreciation of its currency against the USD, as that would make its goods more expensive (and therefore less competitive) in America.

In fact, Setser goes on to say that in order to prevent the USD from sliding even further downward against the RMB, China would have to not only retain its present stock of USD, but in fact buy even more.

Central Banks Prop up Dollar

Yesterday, we posted about the Central Bank of Australia, which intervened on behalf of its currency over the summer. In fact, several Central Banks have either intervened or are in the process of intervening, all with the goal of holding their currencies down (against the US Dollar) rather than lifting them up, as Australia had effected to do. Columbia has already imposed strict rules governing the inflow of foreign capital, intended to discourage speculation, which is driving up the South American nation's currency. Indian regulators have since followed suit with similar rules. South Korea's Central Bank, meanwhile, is using slightly different tactics, undertaking a review of forex forward contracts, which it believes (probably erroneously) are interfering with its ability to hold down the Korean Won. Bloomberg reports:

"Central banks are trying noninterest rate methods to stabilize growth and capital flows. It's something extraordinary. They haven't used these venues for a long time. It's sort of the last resort the central banks would like to tap."

Online Stock Trading

What makes trading stocks on the Internet different from the time before we had all the online stock trading tools? Online stock trading has made it easier for anyone to research the stock market, find the stocks that meet their criteria and with a click of the mouse, invest in that stock. You now have access to as much information as the professional brokerages. This is the reason why so many professionally run hedge funds are actually now being operated from homes.

Online stock investing has leveled the playing field. With an Internet connection and the right tools you can now make professional trading decisions. You no longer need to rely on the “money managers”.

Benefits of Online Stock Trading:

· Access stock filter tables where you can plug in parameters and be presented with your own HOT stocks.

· Access company reports.

· Online charting services. Many are free.

· Free online stock investing information, articles and investing forums.

Is it safe to trade stocks over the Internet?
Security is the number one concern of all the major brokers that offer online trading. Therefore, they use sophisticated encryption devices and also have implemented what are called "secured servers".

How much money is required to get started?
You can open an account with some brokers for as little as $250. Many of them also offer new customer signups and will give you from $75 to $100 just for becoming their customer. If you are interested but concerned about some aspect of trading, then you should start slowly.

There seem to be so many brokers, how do I choose the one for me?
There are probably over 150 brokers on the Internet. Brokers charge anywhere from $7 per trade to $29.95 per trade. There is a wide variety of pricing. Higher prices generally bring more services.

What do you have to do to get started in Online Stock Trading?
You have to decide which broker to choose, which stocks will be a good investment as well as learn the terminology for the stock market. After you have an account for online trading, you need to be able to create, track and manage your portfolio.

The Forex market allows a trader to make profit when buying or selling. There is no commission per trade, but a spread between the buying and selling price.
The below lines contain everything you should know about the forex market.

What is Forex (Foreign Exchange, FX) ?

ACM offers online forex trading services for traders wanting to make speculative transactions on the exchange rate between two currencies.

These rates may be influenced by world economic and political events, currency rate differentials, as well as many other factors including extreme weather conditions (hurricanes), acts of terror etc.

The Forex is the largest marketplace in the world with than 1.8 trillion dollars changing hands daily and so making it one of the most attractive and lucrative markets.

How does the Forex work?

The forex market allows you to buy and sell currencies against each other and speculate on the differences in exchange rates.

Making a transaction on the Forex Market is simple: the procedures are identical to that of any other market so switching to trading currencies is straightforward for most traders.

Buying/Selling - B/S

If you want to open a position (i.e.: place an order to sell – to make a profit if the exchange rate falls) you have to choose the amount (i.e.: 100.000 EURUSD) from the drop down menu on the platform and then click the mouse on the sell currency button: SELL (if you want to place an order to buy, you should act in reverse).

This will open a position in the market and you will receive an immediate notification of it on your trading station.

To close an open position, you have to do the opposite of the initial operation – in our case buy the 100.000 EURUSD back.

Different order types also exist to open or close a position under a certain condition.

How does the B/S system work?

As with any market, for each currency pair, there are 2 prices. The difference between them is called the spread.

The spread is measured in points or pips – lowest decimal figure in a currency rate.

For a EURUSD a pip equals 0.0001 (or 10 dollars on 100.000), for EURJPY a pip equals 0.01 (or 1000 yen on 100.000). More information on P/L calculation on the following page: profit and loss.

Forex currencies quotation system

Currencies are quoted in pairs, for example – EUR/USD or USD/JPY.

The first currency in the pair is called the base currency and the second is called the counter currency.

The base currency is the ‘basis’ for purchases and sales.
For example, if you buy EUR/USD, then you acquire Euros and sell Dollars. You do this if you expect the Euro to grow against the Dollar.

It is also possible for a currency pair to be quoted as USD/EUR, but this method is used extremely rarely.

Each transaction must have 2 sides – a buy and a sell (or a sell and a buy).
By this we mean that it is impossible to buy 100.000 EUR/USD and then exchange it for another currency pair (i.e.: EUR/JPY) without closing the first position.

Also please note that no physical currency delivery will be made. For these purposes banks and exchange companies, which specialize in low-rate currency conversions are available.

Forex market working hours

The Forex Market, based on ‘spot’ transactions, is unique in comparison with all other global markets.
This is because trading takes place 24 hours a day, 5 days a week (ACM platform works from Monday 00:00 to Friday 23:00 CET). Financial centers are open for work, and banks and other organizations exchange currencies in different parts of the world for different purposes.

Therefore, trading never stops apart from a short break during the weekend.
Early closings are possible depending on calendar arrangement such as, for example, Christmas or new year’s eve.

Forex trading margins

A margin deposit is not, as many traditional traders suggest, the payment in cash for purchasing market shares. A margin is in fact a guarantee or a trust deposit, providing protection from losses during a deal? It allows traders to open positions on amounts that greatly exceed their account limits and so increase their buying power. ACM offers a 1% margin (or 1:100 leverage), which means you can control 100 times your deposit in the real market.

If the funds in the account, in the course of trading, fall below the prescribed margin, your positions will be closed automatically without prior notice. Using this system, the client’s account cannot go overdrawn even under volatile, fast-changing market conditions.

The formula for calculating margins is as follows: (account balance + profit/loss) : open position = the margin

Rollover of positions (swap)

For the sake of transparency and unlike any other online broker we actually have a complete explanation of applied applies a cost of carry on behalf of the market or the customer on open positions held overnight. This overnight cost of carry is presented as a simple flat fee either paid or charged on a customer's account. This process makes for extremely simple statements and greatly increased executional transparency since we do not modify the original price of the position entered into by the customer.

You can find a more detailed explanation on the following page: overnight positions.

Do you see the profit potential in trading currencies, but learning to trade just seems too daunting? Have you watched with excitement the recent crashing of the value of the USD, but simply don’t know how to get started trading?

While it is simple to begin trading Forex online, maintaining profitability in the long term is no easy task. You have probably heard that 90% of Forex traders lose their money in the long term. If indeed this is true, it is the result of a couple of different factors.

Overtrading: Each trade costs you a couple of pips—Consider your trades well before you make them. Each faulty trade, even if exited quickly, drains equity.
Bad money management: One bad trade can wipe out a year of patient, smart trading. Manage your risk using stop loss orders, so that you never risk too high a percentage of your equity on any one single trade.
Lack of knowledge: If you have never traded Forex before, educate yourself! Successful traders are not born that way. The difference between success and failure in the Forex market depends in no small part on the knowledge and education of a trader. For the beginning trader, a proper education is essential before investing in the Foreign Exchange. Find a program you are comfortable with, and begin practicing on a demo account.

Trading on the foreign exchange offers unparalleled opportunities for profit, but it is also extremely risky. Make sure you know what you are getting into before you start trading, and start trading only when you are comfortable in your knowledge and ability.

13Carry Trading
Filed Under Forex Trading | Leave a Comment
The carry trade is a popular online Forex strategy which takes advantage of the different interest rates between two currencies. If one currency has a relatively low interest rate it can be sold against a currency with a high interest rate and the trader may pocket the interest rate differential. Speculators are guaranteed rollover interest deposits in their account at the end of each trading day. This can provide a significant boost to trader’s profit. If, for instance, an investor buys the NZD against the JPY, which have interest rates of 7.25 and .25 respectively, the trader can make a profit of 7% provided the market doesn’t move.
However, even when exploiting interest rate differentials, there are still significant risks to a trader. Obviously, the market can still move against the trader’s position, though the rollover interest adjustments do help mitigate potential losses. Considering that most carryover traders use exceptionally high leverages to exploit interest rate differentials, even a small move against a position can lead to very high losses.

11Forex Scalping
Filed Under Forex Trading | Leave a Comment
Forex scalping is a trading strategy in which the trader makes dozens or even hundreds of trades daily, looking to capture a few pips per trade. Generally, scalpers stay in trades for less than a minute, bolting as soon as their position captures a few pips.
Brokers do not look kindly upon scalpers, as many times scalpers will exit a position before the dealing desk has time to deal your order. This means that the brokerage has to eat the position—a successful scalper will consistently earn money—money that comes directly from the brokerage’s pocket.
To avoid this conflict of interest between scalpers and the brokerages, scalpers often trade with electronic communication network (ECN) brokerages, which circumvent the dealing desk allowing online traders to trade directly with one another. ECN brokerages usually have less liquidity than traditional dealing desk brokerages and charge a per trade commission, but their pip spreads are narrower.
To be a successful online Forex scalper, traders must follow strict risk management rules. Because the scalper grabs only a couple of pips at a time, one big loss can wipe out dozens and dozens of careful, meticulous trading. Traders should be sure to use stop loss orders, ensuring that the profit/loss margin on each trade is very small.

7History of the Foreign Exchange
Filed Under Forex Trading | Leave a Comment
Until the mid-seventies, major industrial economies were governed by the Bretton Woods agreement of 1944. The Bretton Woods agreement—which was named after the location of the international conference establishing this new monetary order—obliged participating international economies to peg their currencies to the dollar, which itself remained within a 1% standard deviation from the prevailing gold rate.
The architects of the Bretton Woods agreement hoped to prevent countries from artificially devaluating currencies, in order to make goods more attractive in the international marketplace, which led, in part, to a disastrous shrinking of the world economy in the 30s.
The system they established lasted for the next three decades. Shrinking confidence in the dollar, however, lead to a new international monetary system of floating rates, meaning that regular market forces, rather than governmental intervention, would determine the value of currencies. It was from this new system that the modern Forex market arose.
In a floating exchange rate system, market demand determines the relative value of currencies. Such a system is thought of as self-correcting, as any inefficiency is hammered out in the market. If, for instance, global demand for a particular currency falls, goods will become cheaper, and thus the value will begin to rise with the newly created demand.
In a floating exchange system, traders can exploit inefficiencies before the market corrects itself. These traders are called arbitrageurs, and they are able to utilize online brokers to execute their trades. If you are interested in beginning to trade in the Foreign Exchange, please visit our broker’s page to find a broker suitable for you.

6Why trade on the Foreign Exchange?
Filed Under Forex Trading | Leave a Comment
There are tons of reasons!
-The high level of liquidity ensures instantaneous order executions in most market conditions.
-24 hour trading! The major Foreign Exchange centers are located in New York, London, and Hong Kong. The end of one trading day is the beginning of another. Traders are able to trade at any convenient time, no matter where their location. Furthermore, traders can always react quickly to any market altering news.
-Because of the immense size of the market, no single actor can substantially impact the market. Even multibillion dollar transactions are a relatively small percentage of the overall market, and can alter prices only slightly, and in the short term.
-Investors can trade on very high leverage, controlling large positions with relatively small amounts of money. Of course, while a movement in the trader’s favor results in large earnings relative to investment, movement against the position can result in the investment being wiped out. Using high leverages can be both risky and rewarding.
- Unlike, for instance, the stock market, in which traders must be familiar with hundreds of stocks, a online Forex trader need only be familiar with a few currencies.
-Whether a given currency is rising or falling, investors have the same profit potential. The Foreign Exchange is truly always a bull market.
