Forex is a short term used for ‘Foreign Exchange’. Forex is the exchange of foreign currencies. The value of a specific currency constantly changes against the value of another currency.
OTC is a market that is conducted directly between dealers and principals through a telephone or computer network rather than a regulated exchange trading floor. OTC trading with XFORCE MARKET PRO means that you trade currencies with the aim to make a trading profit through the fluctuation between the currency values. You don’t actually take delivery of these currencies.
Individual investors and speculators, businesses (importers and exporters), multinational corporations, banks, mutual fund companies, pension funds, insurance companies, hedge funds, central banks and government agencies are just some of the market participants.
Yes, we advise all our clients that foreign exchange trading involves a substantial amount of risk. However, the profits can be unlimited.
Forex is considered by some people as the fairest market because of its size and number of participants.
The Forex market is open 24-hours a day. Forex trading provides a great opportunity for investors to trade anytime of the day or night.
You are buying and selling money. In the Forex market, you need to think of money as a commodity; buying a currency means a trader is expecting the value to increase and on a high alert to sell a currency if the value would decrease. Like any other commodity, the price of currencies is displayed in quotes in the retail market and traded in currency pairs, like the Euro and US Dollar (Euro/USD) or the US Dollar and the Japanese Yen (USD/JPY).
The most commonly traded currencies are USD, EUR, JPY, GBP, CHF, CAD and AUD. The most commonly traded currency pair is the EUR/USD.
Margin is a collateral that an investor or trader is required to keep to cover potential losses. For example if the margin requirement is 5% and a trader wishes to buy $1 million (10 lots) USD/JPY, $50,000 US dollars is the margin required in his or her account (5% of 1,000,000=$50,000).
Market orders are executed immediately at the current market price. Limit orders are orders that a trade should be executed in the future, when the market price reaches a specified price trigger.
Being long means buying a currency against another currency. Being short means selling a currency against another. If a trader goes long EUR/USD, he or she buys Euros and sells US dollars. Buying a currency is closely associated with taking a long position in that currency. A trader decides to be in a long position in a currency if he or she forecasts that the currency will appreciate in value against another currency. If a trader goes short EUR/USD, he or she sells Euros and buys US dollars. Selling currency is synonymous with shorting that currency. A trader would go short a currency if he or she nurtures the belief that it will depreciate in value against another currency.
Bid is the price at which buyers offer to buy currencies from the sellers. Bid is the price at which sellers offer to sell currencies to buyers. For example EURUSD is being quoted at 1.29752/1.29760. The bid is the left of first of the two quotes (1.29752). This is the conversion rate when you sell EUR and buy USD. The ask is the second of the two quotes. This is the conversion rate when you buy EUR and you sell USD.
A pip is the smallest price movement. For example on EURUSD, if the price changes from 1.29752 to 1.29762 the price moved with 1 pip (10 points).
A fractional pip is a tenth of a pip. This feature allows traders to benefit from the smaller price increments and moves in the market. For example, instead of quoting prices with 4 digits i.e. EURUSD at 1.2975/1.2976 XFORCE MARKET PRO can quote the pair as 1.29752/1.29760 with the last digit quoted as a subscript.
Spread is the difference between the bid and the ask price of two currencies. If for example the EURUSD is traded at 1.29752/1.29760 then the spread is 0.8 pips.
Leverage is used to significantly increase your purchasing power. A smaller margin deposit can control a much larger total contract value. XFORCE MARKET PRO offers a leverage of up to 200:1 for professional clients (and 30:1 for retail traders due to ESMA restrictions).
There are a ton of tools to manage risk such as stop loss orders, lower leverage and many more.
