Forex Strategy gap

Forex Strategy gap - an interesting trading system that uses one of the most challenging phenomena of the Forex market - week break (gap) between the closing price last Friday and the opening price for her next Monday. By itself, the gap appears due to the fact that the interbank foreign exchange market continues to operate on the weekend, opening on Monday at a price with the highest level of liquidity. The proposed strategy is based on the assumption that the gap - this is the result of speculation and excessive volatility, and therefore the position open in the opposite direction, with high probability to become profitable within a few days.

If someone had an infinite amount of money, this strategy would be a win-win option, since the probability of an infinite number of bets to win in one of the outcomes would be equal to 1. The problem is that no one trader is not an infinite amount of money and, therefore, this strategy leads only to spend the entire deposit. And, although this strategy is very popular among forex traders and is used in many paid expert advisor forex market, I strongly recommend against using it.

• Stop-loss for long positions is set at the lowest price level (Low) in the last bar before crossing. For short positions - at the level of the highest price (High) in the last bar before crossing.

Illogical trade

Chart 1, CEFT

Alan Farley is a professional trader and mentor for over 16 years. He is author of the bestselling "master swing trading", columnist for RealMoney.com and editor of the newsletter "The Daily Swing Trade". Twisted logic can invent a very profitable trading strategies. For example, we learn to buy breakouts and sell up to breaks down, but some market players sometimes do the opposite.

They wait, when the movement bogged down, and then sell on a break up or buy at the break down. These players are illogical does not end there. They go on and buy, when an unsuccessful attempt to break through once again fails. Let's try to explore this way of thinking. Most of us are beaten track - we buy, because the forex market breaks through resistance, but kontrigroki know exactly how we react when our wonderful break up drops like a stone. Therefore, they suggest, where are our stop and come in short positions on the same price to earn money for our failure.

The oldest to date stock exchange is located in Amsterdam, she was nearly 400 years. By the beginning of the XIX century the leader of the stock market has become the London Stock Exchange.

Investing in gold and silver

If we consider the precious metals in terms of investment, neither of which investment income can not be considered. However, gold and silver recently brought no small profit to those who invested in it. Probably not worth talking about investing in precious metals.

Precious metals have always been a defensive asset, and they remain the same, besides this product. In recent years, the fiscal deficit of the developed capitalist countries like the United States and Great Britain only grew. Grew up in the meantime and precious metals. Those investors who have invested in precious metals, have not lost anything, be more correct to say so.

Currency speculation in the forex market

Speculation
Speculation is buying something, with a view to further sale of expensive extraction and thus profits. It would seem that it may be easier. However, the laws of the market impose a number of limitations, thanks to which economic activity is carried out.

Grocery stores and wholesale stores is essentially the same speculators, but they function as a distribution of goods for consumers. We can not buy that either the market, get up close and sell more. To do this you need a little work, at least to attract the buyer is to imagine that there is an advertising company.

Successful traders in the forex market

Should I trade forex? 
The network is a lot of sites devoted to topics of forex. Quite often you can find reports of people that forex is a scam that money in forex is not real and everything is made specifically to pull money from gullible people.

Here we must pay attention to statistics: a successful Forex traders from the crowd on the strength of 10%. A particularly successful ten percent of those only 1%.

It is not surprising that a large majority of people negatively responds to this form of earnings, as trading in financial markets, as they suffered heavy losses there. They argue that the market is unpredictable, and thus earnings in the market is in itself something like a lottery.

Investing in Forex

Investing in Forex is to receive income without bidding.

So, what are the business process in relation to the Forex market?

The process of investing - is the realization of embedding certain amount of money in a business project in order to earn an income. Investment funds may be made in a variety of projects, including in the forex market. Investing in Forex is different in that unlike other investments, they have little or no risk.

It is known that traders often need to "leverage." The role of creditors is played by dealers.

STOP and LIMIT orders

Now look at the useful trading tools to a certain extent, protect you from unexpected losses and to fix the planned profit.

This is - STOP and LIMIT. In the previously opened position at any time (during working hours of the market) you can put an indication to close it when the price reaches a specific value of the currency. For example, you open a position, hoping that the quotes will go up (on schedule). At the same time to protect yourself from significant losses by a significant movement of the currency down, especially in a situation where you have no control over, or you can lose control of the market, you bet STOP, ie specify the value price below its current value at which your position should be closed without further instruction. Similarly, if you are open down, you specify how much above its current value. In this case you should keep in mind that if a STOP will be too close to the current value, then the random bounce rates can close with a loss of open positions right, and if too far away - losses can be unreasonably high. In turn LIMIT - this is referred to your quote above which the position will be closed at a profit, ie quote by LIMIT - is always higher than the current value, if you're up, and below - if you're down.

BID and ASK prices

As you know, any transaction is made on a very definite and specific price, while in Table Quote Spread Sheet for each currency, there are three prices, for example:

Each of the Forex market participants in each particular transaction or act as sellers of certain currencies, or the buyer. In this case the seller offers the currency more expensive, for example, GBPUSD at 2.0254, and the buyer asks the currency is cheaper, for example, GBPUSD at 2.0250. Accordingly, the price of dealer called ASK, a bid price - BID. So, if you suspect that the GBPUSD will go up (in your chart GBPUSD curve goes up), you decide to buy a pound, while it is cheaper, in order to sell more. Buy (this is called BUY) can only be the seller who will offer it at a price ASK. When you sell a pound (an operation called a sales SELL), the buyer will offer for its price on BID (this is true for all currencies). Hence it obviously follows that if you open a position (the operation is called - OPEN), ie did BUY GBPUSD, and then want to close it (the operation called CLOSE), ie to sell just bought pounds, you can only do so at a loss, just as you would in any exchange office. Therefore, ensure that you receive income, the price of the currency should go in the direction you anticipated more than the difference between the BID and ASK. The third number is called LAST - the Forex market is the average of the last BID and ASK.

The purpose of trade

The purpose of trading in any market - to buy goods cheaper and sell dearer. Is no exception and the foreign exchange market - Forex. Goods in this market are the currencies of various countries. Like any other commodity currencies have their price.To perform calculations between partners located in different countries, international payments, speculators, etc., banks around the world to make the Forex market currency exchange operations. Depending on a variety of commercial, economic and other indicators, interest rates, central bank policies, time of day, preferences and expectations of stock market games, on a variety of reasons, and mutual quotation, that is, currency prices are in constant motion.
The task of a trader - to try to determine the direction of price changes and currency to buy foreign currency, the price of which increases, or sell the currency, the price of which falls and then, having made a reverse transaction, make a profit.

How to read quotes

Quotations are usually expressed in five-digit number. For example, USDJPY = 114.90 means that one U.S. dollar valued at 114.90 yen (ie, $ 1 are willing to pay so much yen to buy or sell). At the same time, GBPUSD = 2.0252 means that 1 British pound valued at 2.0252 U.S. dollars. In general, if the quotation XXXYYY = Z, then it means that one unit of XXX give Z units of YYY.

When the quote is changed, for example, USDJPY = 114.92 to USDJPY = 114.93 or GBPUSD = 2.0254 to 2.0255, they say that the price has changed by 1 point. From the above it follows that in this example, the yen fell by 1 point, and the pound rose by 1 point.

Three "golden" rules of Forex

Foreign Exchange Market Forex / Forex in Russia become more popular, but most novice traders in forex is not enough information about what common mistakes beginners make.

"Knowledge - the gold", this proverb is most suitable for trading in the Forex market. And that speculation to be profitable and least losses to follow some rules:
The first "golden" rule of thumb is that the market does not like one-day players. Trade in the Forex market to deal with constantly being improved and gaining experience, gaining new knowledge systematically, constantly analyzing trends. Forex does not tolerate inconsistency.
The second "golden" rule applies to losses in forex. Forex game of chance, and it is important to be able to control their emotions. The desire to win back - a bad incentive for transactions, it is an impulsive act, which makes it impossible to conduct the necessary analysis of the trader, which increases the risk of losing the deposit.
Third, the "golden" rule: the trader has to manage their risks. Risk management can set a threshold of loss. In addition, before each operation to calculate all the potential risks, if necessary, by refusing to bargain. Adhering to these rules, you can make a profit and minimize losses.

Investments under management

New features at Forex: investments under management.

In order to receive a stable profit in Forex, not necessarily personally enter into the transaction. Using the service "Investment Account", you can instruct the control investments Forex traders to one or more of your choice.

Service "Investment Accounts" provides investors the most convenient and safe conditions for cooperation with the Manager, who will take over the job at an advantageous placement of investment capital:
Relations between investors and managers are strictly regulated, mutual carried out automatically.

What is the spread (spread) on the Forex.

Spread - the difference between purchase price and sale price of the currency pairs on Forex. When you request quotes of any currency pair, your broker will give you Forex 2 different prices.
For example:
EUR / USD: 1.5586 (sell) and 1.5589 (purchase).
What does this example? But what if you're going to sell a certain amount of the currency pair EUR / USD (as it implies that the dollar will rise in price) - then you can sell it at a price of 1.5586 (the price that put the broker to sell the currency pair) . If you are going to buy the currency pair EUR / USD (as it implies that the euro will rise against the dollar) - then you can buy it at a price of 1.5589.
The difference between the bid and ask price, put up a broker and will be spread - in this case it is 3 points. Spread - a natural profit broker, it receives, regardless of how you trade, successfully or loss.

 This figure illustrates the above. Green line shows the quote currency pair GBP / USD in if you are going to buy (Buy), and red - shows the sales price (Sell). The difference between these prices and will spread, as defined in paragraphs.

leverage

As usual for a transaction the client first allocates a certain amount of their funds in the account at the principal (the bank or company that provides market access). The real trade is conducted with the money of the principal, who provides for entering the market leverage (in the standard case is equal to the leverage of 1:100). Thanks to this client (the investor) is able to handle the amount many times greater than his own, which increases the yield in percentage terms. In this case the customer's funds are so-called margin (a kind of collateral), which freezes the principal on his account for the duration of the maintenance of the transaction until the client (investor) does not make a reverse exchange.

Exchange transactions involving gold

Often the list of currency pairs include quotes and more gold against the U.S. dollar are called gold-spot contracts (and referred to as GOLD). This is justified because gold is essentially a global equivalent of money, and none of the current rates are not guaranteed by law gold content. Account for FOREX allows electronic exchange transactions involving gold and at the same track incessant fluctuations of exchange rates for the precious metal. The interest in such transactions is particularly high in times of crisis, when currencies of all countries in varying degrees of impaired, because of what the demand for gold increases.

Which pairs traded on Forex?

Brokers Forex -"selection criteria"

Many new traders all the time have to deal with the problem of choosing a broker comfortable for yourself and your deposit. Those who decided to seriously come to grips with online trading on Forex, be very careful about choosing the right broker. But not everyone knows how to start and what to look primarily at finding the right broker.
I remember, when you come to some well-known independent forum, and look - it will not give money, they do not close the deal by the order, there generally are threatening to physically punish a trader for contempt, on the contrary there have closed the deal with the loss and not on orders. My head was puffy from these posts. And who does not ask for advice all together otgavkivalis meaningless allusions.
Then, I realized that while he does not test on yourself and your deposit of at least one broker can not tell who is who.
Brokers Forex. What they are and what to look for when choosing?

It is a reliable way to invest money. In the daily exchange rate fluctuations, in the FOREX account it may be more practical than, say, a multi-bank deposit. Of course, this is true if you're willing to at least from time to time independently monitor multiple parameters: a minimum of expensive or cheaper currency basket depreciated or strengthened in the current ruble, grow, or conversely, falling prices for gold, oil, and t . etc.
