Forex Currency Pairs

Monday, July 20th, 2009

Foreign Exchange Market (Forex) is the arena where a nation’s currency is exchanged for that of another at a mutually agreed rate. It was created in the 70’s when international trade transitioned from fixed to floating exchange rates, and nowadays is considered to be the largest financial market in the world because of its tremendous turnover.

Probability of earning on Forex is based on the fact that every national currency is a good, as well as wheat or sugar, and a medium of exchange, as gold or silver. As the world is changing so fast, economic conditions of every country (production, inflation, unemployment etc) are getting more and more dependant on each other, as a result, the rate of a currency changes against other currencies. This is the main reason of the process of rate fluctuations. (more…)

Commercial banks
They execute the main volume of currency operations. Other market participants hold their accounts in banks and make necessary conversional, depositary and credit transactions on them. Banks cumulate (through operations with clients) market requirements of currency conversions and funds attraction/depositing and refer with them to other banks.

Leverage Forex Trading, the Secret

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

ForexEl plan-de-leveraging in Forex is very different from the kind of leverage it can find in other trading or investment.
When you leverage, borrowed in a margin for increasing the size of its operation over the funds they have available in your account.
In shares and other securities, you can leverage with the trading in your account so you can afford to double its purchase.

Is it true that all Metatrader and Retail Brokers are Scammer?

Sunday, May 24th, 2009

I agree that per definition all retail brokers are scammers. But that’s per definition only.

We, people who have less than $10,000,000 (ten million dollars) are considered as retail traders. And we are only allowed to trade using retail brokers. We are not allowed to trade in institutional broker. If all retail brokers are scammers, then we are all doomed.
