Introduction to the Foreign Exchange Market


The rationale behind this post is to break down the inner workings of the foreign exchange market and perhaps provide some enlightenment on the current situation, the forex market in general, the reason why we have and need forex brokers, and how forex brokers make their profit. More importantly, it aims to provide some understanding as to why we, as forex speculators, can and should, despite a very volatile market, continue to trade.

Forex Market Structure


We now know why the foreign exchange market exists, so let’s look at how a forex transaction is actually facilitated.
At the very top of the forex market are transactions which are collectively called Interbank transactions. The “Interbank” is not, as some people may believe, an exchange. Rather, it is a collection or compilation of agreements between and among the major money center banks in the world.

Trade Mechanics


Given that there is in excess of $2 trillion a day being traded on the forex market, it’s easy to believe that there will always be enough liquidity in the market to do what needs doing. Sadly, belief doesn’t negate the truth that for each and every buyer in the market, there MUST also be a seller, otherwise no transaction can occur. If an order is too big to handle at the current price, then the price has to move to a point where there is enough open interest to cover the transaction. Each time you see a price move even a single pip, it’s an indication that an order was transacted or executed which “consumed” the open interest at its existing price. Prices can move in no other way.

The New Capital Requirements Takes Its Toll on New Forex Brokers


There has been a state of unrest amongst new Forex brokers owing to the fact that the NFA has pushed through an increased entrance barrier. This requires a higher capital for new Forex brokers which can be a problem for most, if not all.
However, the move to raise entrance barriers has its benefits if better understood by Forex brokers, new and old alike. The increase in entrance barriers serves beneficial for the industry of foreign exchange. Despite the increase, the move ensures that those who newly enter the industry still have sufficient resources remaining and still be financially stable. This is helpful since the capital market tends to be unstable. The move also ensures that brokers receive sufficient expertise to manage the risks that may be encountered by Forex brokers, both new and old.

The History of Forex Trading


Forex trading started during the time of the Babylonians. This system was designed for the currencies and exchange. In the early times, the goods are being traded for another tangible item. When the metal age began, gold and silver became the tool of transaction. This idea became popular during that age.
The creation of coins started then as well as the political regimes. When gold became an important trading tool, its use became restricted; therefore; the result which has been brought about by this is that the value of money has diminished.

Pros and Cons of Trading With Metatrader


In every item or device we use, they all have their own weaknesses and strengths. In using metatrader4 for trading, we find it useful though it also its limitations.
In using metatrader4 first, you will be able to check if there is still money available on your account. If there is not enough money on the account, the operation of opening a position will not be successful. It is for this reason that one need to have sufficient funds for investments.

How to Become a Good Forex Trader


Setting a Forex trading business should come with a wise and strategic planning. It is important that you know what kind of business you are going into. Studying the business thoroughly is a very important strategy in order to gain success in his field. It needs good management because there are risks involved in this type of business.

US Dollar Rallies in Response to Surprising US NFP Results

The US dollar has rallied in response to news that US non-farm payrolls (NFPs) for the month of May fell by only 345,000 in May, the slowest decline since September 2008. NFPs had been forecasted to fall by 520,000, and while the results still reflect the seventeenth straight month of job losses, they also show that labor market conditions have been slowly improving since the start of the year.

Carry Interest is Rising But a Lack of Risk Doesn't Translate Into Strong Fundamentals

Event risk was torrential this past week with a round of central bank rate decisions that covered both the most hawkish and dovish extremes of the policy scale as well as a slew of headline growth indicators.
