Margin In Forex Trading


What is Margin?


Margin is the amount of equity that must be maintained in a trading account to keep a position open. It acts as a good faith deposit by the trader to ensure against trading losses. A margin account allows customers to open positions with higher value than the amount of funds they have deposited in their account.

Trading a margin account is also described as trading on a leveraged basis. Most online forex firms offer up to 200 times leverage on a mini contract account. The mini contract size is usually 10,000 currency unit, 1/200th of 10,000 equals to 50 currency unit, meaning only 0.5% margin is required for open positions. Compare to future contracts, which require 10% margin for most contracts, and equities require 50% margin to the average investor and 10% margin to the professional equity traders, foreign exchange market offers the highest leverage among the other trading instruments.

The equity in excess of the margin requirement in a trading account acts as a cushion for the trader. If the trader loses on a position to the point that equity is below the minimum margin requirement, meaning the cushion has completely worn out, then a margin call will result. Generally, in online forex trading, the trader must deposit more funds before the margin call or the position will be closed. Since no calls are issued before the liquidation, the margin call is better known as ‘margin out' in this case. The account will be margined out, meaning all the positions will be closed, once the equity falls below the margin requirement.

Example:

Account A
Account Equity: 500USD
Contract Size: 10,000
Currency: EUR/USD
Spread: 3 pips
Margin Requirement: 50USD
Leverage: 1,000:50 = 200:1
Pips to margin out (1 lot): 447
Consider Account A, the margin requirement for 1 lot of position is 50USD. The free usable margin is Account Equity - (Margin Requirement + Spread) = 500 - (50 + 3) = 447. The account will be margined out if EUR/USD moves 447 pips against the position.

Go Global by Investing in Foreign Currencies

Since the dollar has fallen from 2002 many investors have opened their eyes to opportunities in foreign currency trading

. Trading currencies can be strenuous as it is a 24 hour market and is always open somewhere. Here are a list of advantages for those considering currency trading:-

1. Market Size
It is after all the largest financial market in the world with transactions of over $2 trillion occurring every day. That also means that is highly liquid and you can therefore enter or exit positions with ease.

2. Small Capital
One does not even have to have a large capital investment to start getting good returns. You can open an account for as little as $250 and work your way up from there.

3. Potential to Profit
This is something that excites every investor and the foreign exchange market has plenty to offer. Whether a bear market or a bull market, there is a chance to make some good money here by taking an appropriate position.

4. Tax Advantages

For all forex traders it does not matter whether you made your profit on a trade in 2 minutes or one month since you entered the trade. The tax consequences will be the same. So 40% of your profit will be taxed as short term capital gains and the balance 60% as long term capital gains attracting a tax rate of 15%.

5. Trading Hours
As this is a global market which is open 24 hours you can choose the time you want to trade in the market according to your convenience. So whether you work at day or go to school at night, the market is open whenever you are ready for it.

6. No Commissions
In this market the broker does not charge commissions as do stock brokers. Instead there is a pip spread which is the difference between the buy and sell price of the currency.

7. Leverage
This is one of the most attractive advantage for investors. It is normal to get a 1:100 leverage account. Therefore if you invest $1,000 you can then buy currencies up to the value of $100,000/- So even a 1% profit means $1000 which is 100% on your investment. While in normal circumstances it would mean just $10 on your $1000 as profit.

8. Guaranteed Stops
You can always predetermine the amount of maximum loss that you are ready to sustain and the system will automatically close the position accordingly. So unlike other circumstances, you don’t stand the chance to lose your shirt!

Stocks in Exchange Markets

One of the popular stocks is Forex. This is a foreign market exchange. Forex supplies investment options, which investors often use charts to increase their odds of winning within the industry. Charts give the investors specs, such as high/lows, bids/asks, pips, spreads and so on. This helps them to decide what pair of currencies to bid on.

Forex markets often include Java charting, web charting, etc. These charts post updates each day. The Internet charges supply specs on UBS stocks Zurich markets and the London UBS markets, as well as the "Barclay Banks of London." These are some big investors in Forex, as well as "Sampo Helsinki Banks." Another is the "Dresdner Frankfurt Banks, Ally Irish Dublin Banks, OKO Helsinki, Ten-Forex Synthetic," and so on.
Forex charts provide the highest technology options that give updates each day. The readings supply readouts on current market affairs, such as paired currencies. You have to see the charts free to see how they work. RSSI, as well as Bollinger Bands, and the MACD take part in these exchanges, as well Rates of changes. You have moving averages, stochastic, standard deviations and other readouts.

Some of the popular is the Bollinger's, which indicators that allow investors to compare quotes or rates, as well as volatile timeframes in stocks.

Indicators use bands that rotate averages within center charts of Forex stocks. The top bans deviate Standards of SMA that increase lower Forex bands to subtract from the deviations. Instabilities are within these structures, which you may see within rate readings. At this time, you want to look close so that you make a good decision as to when the stocks present good outlooks.

In Forex (FX) or the Foreign Market Exchange, change rates apply, which these rates allow investors or traders to track percentages within the industry. Charts supply read outs for oscillators that fluctuate once the market subzero or changes occur. At this time, you can read positive and negative results.

These results display high/lows within the Forex stocks. Moreover, you see divergences within the market that sometimes transverse over lines at subzero levels.

An Explanation Of How Forex Trading Works

It was then I decided to write this article and explain briefly what it is and how it could be used. If this investment system interests you I suggest you research further before investing your money.

WHAT IS FOREX ?

The Foreign Exchange, called "Forex" market, is the largest financial market in the world, with over $1.2 trillion changing hands every single day. It is many times larger than the New York Stock Exchange.
What is traded on the Forex Exchange? The easy answer is money. Forex trading is where the currency of one nation is traded for that of another. Therefore, Forex trading is always traded in pairs. The most commonly traded currency pairs are traded against the US Dollar (USD).
The major currency pairs are the Euro Dollar (EUR/USD); the British Pound (GBP/USD); the Japanese Yen (USD/JPY); and the Swiss Franc (USD/CHF).
Because there is no central exchange for the Forex market, these pairs are traded over the telephone and online through a global network of banks, multinational corporations, brokers and currency traders.

BENEFITS OF FOREX TRADING:

LEVERAGE: When you trade in the Forex market, a small margin deposit can allow you to control a much larger total contract value. Leverage gives the trader the ability to make very nice profits and at the same time keep the risk of losing your cash to a minimum.
LIQUIDITY: Because the Forex Market is so very large, it is normally very easy to sell and turn your trade to cash. This means that by clicking your mouse you can quickly buy and sell.
PROFIT IN BOTH 'RISING' AND 'FALLING' MARKETS: One of the most exciting advantages of the Forex market is the ability to generate profits whether a currency pair rising or falling.
24HRS: From Sunday evening to Friday Afternoon EST the Forex market is open for business.
DEMO ACCOUNTS: These are available so you can practice without the chance of losing any capital.

Currency Trading Basics - the Best Currencies to Trade

Here we are going to look at the best currencies against the US Dollar.

Perhaps the most important consideration is turnover and liquidity of the currency traded. and these currencies also offer the tightest pip spreads which reduce your cost of doing business. You can trade the majors for just 2 or 3 pips and the currencies with the highest volume against the dollar are.

- The Euro
- The Japanese Yen
- The British Pound
- The Swiss Franc

Any trader should consider the above 4 and the euro and the yen are favorites for most traders and will work well for swing traders or trend followers.

I trade the euro, yen and Pound but not the Swiss Franc - nothing against it, it's a great trending currency but it tracks the euro to a degree now as the country has become more integrated with Europe so I have picked the euro.
Two other great currencies to trade are, the Australian and Canadian Dollar.

They don't have the volume of the big 4 and spreads are a little wider but for trend followers they offer some excellent trends and with both being commodity currencies, they have given some great trends over the last few years with the recent surge in commodity prices.
If I was to pick a currency that is good for novices, it wouldn't be the euro or the yen - but the Canadian dollar.
It works well on any technical system and offers reliable trends and the major advantage is it lacks the frequent volatility spikes you see in the big two
Of course any list of best currencies to trade is going to be subjective but if you are a novice trader or trading the majors and want a change, check out the Canadian dollar - it really is a great currency to trade.

Stock Market Leadership:

Stocks that act well while the Market is selling off may give you a clue to new Leadership
Over the past few years many investors have given up on the market especially when another round of selling has occurred.

However this is exactly the wrong time to give up on the market because when the market reverses to the upside those stocks which had been acting well during the sell off may become the next big winners.
Here are a few examples of what I’m talking about. Let us compare the charts of HITK and USNA with the chart of the S&P 500 this past Summer and Fall when the market was selling off.
Looking at HITK first shows that this past Summer and Fall while the S&P 500 was dropping (points A to B) HITK was actually rising (points C to D) while completing the right side of a 1 1/2 year Cup. HITK then traded sideways for 4 weeks while developing a Handle (point E) and then broke out in late October. After breaking out HITK nearly doubled in price over the next few months before topping out in early January.

Trading in Partnership

Trading together with a friend can have its advantages. If one of you has more experience and the other more money, you can help your friend through your experience and he can help with margins.

Together, you can trade larger size and perhaps make more profits. However, unless you both agree to the same line of action and what the possible contingencies might be, it is essential that you decide which of you is to execute the trades. It is more difficult reaching trading decisions together than on your own.
If you haven’t decided on the contingency measures in advance you’ll find yourself arguing and disagreeing in the middle of a trade going against you when timely action is of the essence. It can be quite disheartening and dangerous.

If you are not absolutely sure about your partner, and you don’t agree with the way he trades, you are better off trading on your own.
Take for example an instance where the order placed was ambiguous and the broker executed it twice. The traders accepted the mistake and then the market moved against them. The partner with the greater margins but less experience was in charge of execution. He placed the order before the market opened to roll the position out. The market moved against him, he covered the position at three times the premium received and then the market corrected. He was unable to get the other side because he couldn’t watch intraday.

Trading is a business! You must be totally prepared in terms of having a business plan, knowing how to place orders, and being on top of them from beginning to end. Even then things can go wrong, but being unprepared can lead to disaster. The smallest details must be thought of and prepared in advance, but mistakes and oversights still happen.

I came across an interesting concept. The path to enlightenment involves conquering five human weaknesses: greed, fear, ignorance, pride and jealousy. We should be all familiar with the first two, which cause much grief to traders, but the last three can be a big problems, too, so it’s worth pondering on them. Human weaknesses always show up to undermine one’s trading.
Greed makes people stay in a trade too long, or trade too big a size. Fear makes one get out of winning trades too early. Ignorance makes people commit innumerable mistakes. Pride doesn’t allow one to admit one is wrong and often, small losses are allowed to turn into huge losses because one doesn’t want to accept one is wrong. Jealousy can make one trade in a subjective manner.


ForexGen offers three types of business partnerships:

*Introducing Broker *White label *Money Manager

ForexGen Introducing Brokers, White Label and Money Manager holders are recognized as a strategic business partners. The main focus of our service is to satisfy our partner's needs in order to deal with a qualified service and gain a huge income sharing plan.

[ForexGen] provide appropriate services satisfying the needs of all business partner's specified situation and requirements.

Some Advice before Entering Forex Trading

There is an ideal mindset, character, and mental attitude that traders need to acquire.

I say “acquire” because few people have the innate personality that makes this mindset “natural” With respect to your trading, this involves being free of anxiety, fear, despair or regret. It also involves being able to remain calm, confident, focused and disciplined in the face of adverse trading outcomes.

Trade with a Disciplined Plan
The problem with many traders is that they take shopping more seriously than trading. The average shopper would not spend $500 without serious research and examination of the product he/she is about to purchase, yet the average trader would make a trade that could easily cost him/her $500 based on little more than a feeling or hunch. The plan must include stop and limit levels for the trade, as your analysis should encompass the expected downside as well as the expected upside. Be sure that you have a plan in place before you start to trade.
Good Execution Good Anticipation

Everybody knows that trading is a number game. I mean, our success is not depend on the outcome of the next trade, our success is depend on the overall profitability of many trades. So, while we are trading, whether the last trade we did was profitable or not is definitely not important. There is no point drawing conclusions on the outcome of just one –or even a few-trades. We can only access our anticipation skills when we have made a reasonable number of trades and see the longer-term result of our action. It is so important that when we are trading, our goal should be focus on executing our trades with ruthless efficiency and to judge only that. If you consider the ways that you lose money trading, you will find that it is down to poor execution, rather than poor anticipation.

Cut Your Losses Early and Let Your Profits Run
This simple concept is one of the most difficult to implement and is the cause of most traders demise. Most traders violate their predetermined plan and take their profits before reaching their profit target because they feel uncomfortable sitting on a profitable position. These same people will easily sit on losing positions, allowing the market to move against them for hundreds of points in hopes that the market will come back. In addition, traders who have had their stops hit a few times only to see the market go back in their favor once they are out, are quick to remove stops from their trading on the belief that this will always be the case. Stops are there to be hit, and to stop you from losing more then a predetermined amount. You simply allow your profits on the winners to run and make sure that your losses are minimal. What is it about cutting a loss that is so hard?

Do Not Over Trade
Do not bet on the farm. One of the most common mistakes that traders make is leveraging their account too high by trading much larger sizes than their account should prudently trade. Leverage is a double-edged sword. Just because one lot of currency only requires $1000 as a minimum margin deposit, it does not mean that a trader with $5000 in his account should be able to trade 5 lots. One lot is $100,000 and should be treated as a $100,000 investment and not the $1000 put up as margin. Most traders analyze the charts correctly and place sensible trades, yet they tend to over leverage themselves. As a consequence of this, they are often forced to exit a position at the wrong time. A good rule of thumb is to never use more than 10% of your account at any given time.

Forex Technical Analysis

The difference between forex technical and forex fundamental analysis is that forex technical analysis ignores fundamental factors and is applied only to the price action of the market. Forex technical analysis primarily consists of a variety of forex technical studies, each of which can be interpreted to predict market direction or to generate buy and sell signals. The technical analysis works by correlating the results and moves of current markets to create a short-term outlook for currencies. The rolling data that is produced throughout the trading day creates the interest in the markets and informs traders of the strong markets to back.

The Trend is Your Friend

Forex technical analysis is largely based around forex market movement trends, thus creating the widely used phrase ’the trend is your friend’ amongst traders. Buying and selling at the right time is the key in maintaining good levels of profits, following a trend is also about knowing where to entry a trade and more importantly where to exit.

Support and Resistance


Support and resistance is the basic of forex technical analysis. Support and resistance levels are points where a chart experiences recurring upward or downward pressure. A support level is usually the low point in any chart pattern (hourly, weekly or annually), whereas a resistance level is the high or the peak point of the pattern. Buying and selling at the support and resistance points makes a greater profit margin as long as they remain unbroken.

History Tends To Repeat Itself

Another important idea in technical analysis is that history tends to repeat itself, mainly in terms of price movement. The repetitive nature of price movements is attributed to market psychology; in other words, market participants tend to provide a consistent reaction to similar market stimuli over time. Forex technical analysis uses chart patterns to analyze forex market movements and understand trends. Although many of these charts have been used for more than 30 years, they are still believed to be relevant because they illustrate patterns in price movements that often repeat themselves.

Why you need to develop your own forex trading system

There are many forex trading systems and trading strategies out there.

There are many free ones printed in forex trading articles, journals, books and on trading-related websites. You can buy them as software or you can subscribe to them periodically.
Novice traders say they do not have the time, the aptitude, the talent nor the brains to work out how to trade properly. They would rather purchase a program or subscribe to a forex trading system for hundreds - or in some cases - thousands of dollars. They say they do not have to do anything except be told what to buy, when to buy and how much of it you need to buy. Some ask me if this strategy or approach is advisable for trading the forex markets. To answer this question, I am then forced to consider the advantages and disadvantages of using such an approach to trading.

There are reasons why a trader would use a forex trading system or forex trading strategy that someone else developed and tested:
1. It is easy. A novice trader does not need to study how the forex market works and how he interacts with that market. He does not need to educate himself: he does not need to bother with books and seminars. He does not need to test the trading system, since the seller has already done that for him and reported promising hypothetical or actual results.
2. A novice trader hopes to get a forex trading system at a ’bargain’ price... sometimes even for free.

Hazards of trading a forex system or strategy developed and tested by someone else are the following:


1. Faulty Trading Systems
There are many faulty forex systems out there. They may be faulty because their assumptions and their mechanisms may no longer be true, accurate or valid. As a novice trader, how can you distinguish between the good systems and the bad systems if you don’t know how trading systems are built?
2. Discipline and confidence
All systems have drawdown periods. Some good forex trading systems may not make money for six months or an entire year. Even if it was a good system, can you continue to follow it even if it gives you a loss after a loss after a loss? How can you follow it if you do not have confidence in it? How can you be confident if you do not know the ins and outs of the system and if you have not tested it yourself?

I do not believe that people would blindly follow a system even if they were told that it would bring them riches. I can give someone a forex trading system, I can supply him with exceptional hypothetical or actual results and still, he would not be able to follow it.

How To Read And Interpret A Weekly Economic Calendar: Factory Orders

Dollar level of new orders for manufacturing durable goods and nondurable goods.
It gives more complete information than durable goods orders which are reported one or two weeks earlier in the month. The orders data show how busy factories will be in coming months as manufacturers work to fill those orders. This report provides insight to the demand for not only hard goods such as refrigerators and cars, but nondurables such as cigarettes and apparel. In addition to new orders, analysts monitor unfilled orders, an indicator of the backlog in production.

Shipments reveal current sales. Inventories give a handle on the strength of current and future production. All in all, this report tells investors what to expect from the manufacturing sector, a major component of the economy and therefore a major influence on their investments.

Forex Hedging

In the financial and business world, hedging is probably one of the most common terms we may encounter every day.
Although some may think that hedging is something confidential or highly classified, in truth, almost all Forex traders in Forex trading realm practice hedging. Actually, to make the term hedging to be more easily understood, we can relate Forex hedging to buying insurance in our everyday life.

To make matter simple, hedging in the Forex realm is like buying insurance in order to get oneself insured from accidents such as fire or theft. In Forex trading, hedging is almost the same as buying insurance, the only difference is, hedging does not cover for accident, instead, hedging covers the amount of losses one might sustain in Forex trading. Actually, hedging is quite commonly practiced in the business world where most of the company would hedge in order to protect themselves from losing their profits

Forex Options Market Overview

The forex options market started as an over-the-counter (OTC) financial vehicle for large banks,
financial institutions and large international corporations 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 forex option market now includes an increasingly large number of individuals and corporations who are speculating and/or hedging foreign currency exposure via telephone or online forex trading platforms.

STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) -- Poultry and timber were the top crops in Mississippi in 2008, say farm economists who expect the value of agricultural production to top $5.9 billion.

Farm economist John Anderson at Mississippi State University says the figure would have been closer to $6.3 billion except for a 1 percent net loss in government payments between 2007 and 2008.
Poultry values were up 9 percent from 2007 and timber and forestry product values rose almost 6 percent.
Soybeans ranked third with a 15 percent increase followed by corn, catfish, rice and cattle and calves.
Cotton, once king of Mississippi's crops, is now in eighth place among the state's crops. Cotton's 2008 value is expected to decline 55 percent from 2007 to $168 million, Anderson says.

Scalping for quick small profits is a very popular Foreign Currency (Forex) trading strategy, requiring extreme discipline and focus. True Forex scalpers make between 10 and 100 trades per day. If a position goes against them they exit quickly rather than holding on and hoping that it will turn around. A Forex scalping system aims to make 5-15 pips per trade.
The goal of a Forex scalping is to buy or short a pair of currency at the bid or ask price and then sell quickly when the trade is in profit by a few pips. Using this trading strategy of taking a few pips out of the Forex market at a time, can easily compound into large gains as long as a strict exit strategy is used to prevent losing trades absorbing all profits.

Generally Forex scalping use the 1 min, 5 min and hourly charts to find trades that can make them a small profit. As the Forex scalper is only interested in making a few pips per trade it is essential to use a broker with low spreads and instant execution of trades.
A few things that can improve your chances of being successful as a Forex scalper are:
- Make sure you know when news relevant to your currency pair is coming out.
- Write down the previous days Open, High, Low and Close.
- Learn some basic candlestick patterns so you can identify them when they occur.
- Draw in major trendlines and pivot points on the daily and hourly charts of your currency.
- Determine the major direction for the day, Bullish or Bearish, trading in the longer term direction will gives trades more chance of being successful.
- Adjust your stop when you are 10 pips in profit.
- If the trade is taking to long to go in your direction or you don’t feel comfortable with it, get out.

One advantage of Forex scalping is that the small targets of 5-15 pips are easier to achieve. One of the frustrations Forex traders have is when the trend reverses during a trade, because Forex scalping get in and out of the market quickly this is less likely to happen. Many people have been successful with Forex scalping, so there is proof that it can be a profitable Forex trading method. A disadvantage is that the risk to reward ratio can be very low. As the profit per trade is so low, one bad trade can wipe out all the profits for a day. This means it is especially important to set and move a stop loss.
There are a couple of traps that new Forex traders fall into when they begin Forex scalping. They may become addicted to making random profits, especially if they are immediately successful. This can lead to the trader taking more risky trades and not sticking to their plan. A second trap is trying to make up for the losses of yesterday. New traders often think about how they can win back the money they lost a previous day, this tends to cloud their judgment and can lead to emotional trades that are doomed for failure
