There are a number of different tools in the forex trader's toolbox and one of the most important is the forex chart. In its simplest form, a forex chart is a graph of the performance of a currency pair over a set time period. Reading a forex chart is central to any trader's business and so it is important to be able to read them and to understand just what they mean.

A forex chart is plotted for a single currency pair such as the EUR/USD or AUD/CAD and shows the movement of the currencies concerned against each other over time. For instance, a EUR/USD chart shows you how the US dollar and Euro have moved against each other over the period for which the chart has been drawn.

Along the bottom of the chart is the timeline that can for example be divided into 15 minute, one hour, one day, one week, or longer time periods. Going up the right-hand side of the chart are incremental values that are usually set to run from a bit below to a bit above the bottom and top prices attained during the period in question. For example, for a EUR/USD chart the values may run from 1.2534 at the bottom to 1.2564 at the top.

A forex chart is useful because it gives a very clear and easy to read picture of how a currency pair is doing and you can see at a glance whether a currency is strengthening or weakening so that you can act accordingly. The selection of a time frame for a chart is also important as a short time scale can help you to see very minor trends while a long time scale can help you to identify longer term trends.

SigmaForex sums up the most important differences between foreign exchange market and futures marketare in :

Foreign exchange market against futures market

Liquidity

Forex market: close to two trillion dollars of daily volume.
Futures market: around 400 billion dollars on a daily basis.

Transaction costs

Forex market: Commission for free and narrow margins.
Futures market: the high fees committees.

Margin

Forex market: the fixed exchange rate, on the sidelines of every position.
Futures market: different levels of attitudes overnight on the sidelines of today's time positions.

Trade execution

Forex market: immediate implementation.
Futures market: consistent implementation.


All this makes the foreign exchange market very attractive to investors and traders. But I need to make something clear, despite the benefits of commercial foreign exchange market is notorious; it is still difficult to achieve commercial success foreign exchange market. It requires a lot of education, discipline, commitment and patience, like any other market.

FOREX CURRENCY

The forex market has been rapidly growing since the internet has grown into just about every home. Every person from around the world would love to make a second income, so this is the best place to start. You get to work in your spare time and make a good income. That’s not to say that it is easy. It takes time to learn and time to grow as a trader. One of the best teachers is experience. You’ll learn a lot when you start trading, just remember to stick to my advice and you’ll do fine.

You’re going to have a demo account available to you. As the currency trader, you’re going to want to try this out until you feel comfortable trading. It’s just a very good real simulation, except you don’t have to risk any money. I encourage people to use this until they feel good with their trading. There is no rush to put money in the market because you can lose it pretty fast if you’re not ready.

I think another important factor is cutting your losses. You’re going to have bad trades, just like everyone else. You need to learn to limit their damage. That’s why I set a stop loss point before I make the trade. Basically, you decide if the trade goes down to “x” value, you’ll sell it. It’s a simple and objective way of protecting your bottom line.

Benefits of Forex Membership Sites

Forex Membership Sites - What They Offer

This article discusses what you can gain from joining one of the many online forex membership sites.

There are quite a few forex membership websites on the internet nowadays. There are sites that offer a one-off lifetime membership for a specific system or service, and there are monthly membership sites where you have to pay to remain a member. So what do these membership sites actually offer?

Well let’s start off my discussing one of the most common forex membership sites and that’s forex signal providers. If you do a search for ‘forex signals’ on the internet you will find hundreds, if not thousands of these sites. It has to be said that most of these sites are generally quite poor and do not offer the kind of profits that they claim to, but there are a small number of companies that do provide reliable, and more importantly profitable forex trading signals.

These sites appeal more to traders who haven’t been able to come up with their own profitable trading system, or those people who simply don’t have the time to watch and trade the markets all day themselves.

Similarly there are other membership-type sites that appeal to this type of trader and that’s automated trading robots. Although most can be purchased for a one-off fee, some of the more expensive and profitable robots require continuous monthly payments in order to pay for the license to continue using the robot or software.

Other forex membership sites are geared more towards those people who actually want to learn how to trade themselves. These websites tend to offer plenty of learning material and trading resources to help you become a profitable forex trader. Examples of some of the services offered includes videos, seminars, ebooks, trading systems, daily updates and one-on-one coaching.

These forex membership sites can become quite costly if you remain a member for several months. However they can also be invaluable because you will often get the chance to chat with, and learn from, the trading professionals and mentors behind the membership site as well as your fellow members via chatrooms and forums.

So overall forex membership sites can be extremely beneficial whether you simply want forex trading signals delivered to you, or want monthly use of an automated trading system, or if you simply want to learn how to become a profitable forex trader yourself. All of these sites are designed to help you make profits from forex trading so if they are successful at achieving this objective then they will more than pay for themselves.

Intermarket Analysis of Forex Markets

Most traders stress the role of fundamental information and historical single-market price data in analyzing markets for the purpose of price and trend forecasting. Traders do need to look back at past price action to put current price action in perspective, but they also need to look forward to anticipate what will happen to prices if their analysis is to pay off in the real trading world.

To be able to look ahead with confidence, however, traders need to look in one other direction, and that is sideways to what is happening in related markets, which has a major influence on price action in a target market. What are the external market forces that affect the internal market dynamics – the intermarket context or environment in which the market you are trading exists?

Moving beyond single-market analysis

Forex Options Market Overview

The forex options market started as an over-the-counter (OTC) financial vehicle for large banks, financial institutions and large internationalcorporations to hedge against foreign currency exposure. Like the forex spot market, the forex options market is considered an "interbank" market.However, with the plethora of real-time financial data and forex option trading software available to most investors through the internet, today's forexoption market now includes an increasingly large number of individuals and corporations who are speculating and/or hedging foreign currencyexposure via telephone or online forex trading platforms.
