| Different Types of Forex Orders with ForexGen |
| 04.21.08 (4:51 am) [edit] |
|
A trader has at his disposal different types of orders to make FOREX trades. A clear understanding of each type of order is necessary to be a successful FOREX trader.
Market Order – is an order to buy or sell at the current market price. They can be used to enter or exit a trade.
Market orders should be used with care because in fast-moving markets there may be a difference between the price seen at the time a market order is given and the actual price of the transaction. This is due to slippage – the amount the market moves in the few seconds between giving an order and having it executed. Slippage could result in a loss or gain of several pips.
Limit Order – is an order to buy or sell at a certain limit. They can be used to buy currency below the market price or sell currency above the market price. When buying, your order is executed when the market falls to your limit order price. When selling, your order is executed when the market rises to your limit order price. There is no slippage with limit orders.
Stop Order – is an order to buy above the market or to sell below the market. They are most commonly used as stop-loss orders to limit losses if the market moves contrary to what the trader expected. A stop-loss order will sell the currency if the market falls below the point set by the trader.
One Cancels the Other (OCO) – this order is used when placing a limit order and a stop-loss order at the same time. If either order is executed the other is cancelled, allowing the trader to make a transaction without monitoring the market. If the market falls, the stop-loss order will be executed, but if the market rises to the level of the limit order, the currency will be sold at a profit.
• Example OCO Transaction:
Buy: 1 standard lot EUR/USD @ 1.3228 = $132,280
Pip Value: 1 pip = $10
Stop-Loss: 1.3203
Limit: 1.3328
This is an order to buy US dollars at 1.3328 and to sell them if they fall to 1.3203 (resulting in a loss of 25 pips or $250) or to sell them if they rise to 1.3328 (resulting in a profit of 100 pips or $1,000).
• Here's another example:
The current bid/ask price for US dollars and Canadian dollars is
USD/CDN 1.2152/57
...meaning you can buy $1 US for 1.2152 CDN or sell 1.2157 CDN for $1 US.
If you think that the US dollar (USD) is undervalued against the Canadian dollar (CDN) you would buy USD (simultaneously selling CDN) and wait for the US dollar to rise.
This is the transaction: Buy USD: 1 standard lot USD/CDN @ 1.2157 = $121,570 CDN
Pip Value: 1 pip = $10
Stop-Loss: 1.2147
Margin: $1,000 (1%)
You are buying US$100,000 and selling CDN$121,570. Your stop loss order will be executed if the dollar falls below 1.2147, in which case you will lose $100.
However, USD/CDN rises to 1.2192/87. You can now sell $1 US for 1.2192 CDN or sell 1.2187 CDN for $1 US.
Because you entered the transaction by buying US dollars (buying long), you must now sell US dollars and buy back CDN dollars to realize your profit.
You sell US$100,000 at the current USD/CDN rate of 1.2192, and receive 121,920 CDN for which you originally paid CDN$121,570. Your profit is $350 Canadian dollars or US$287.19 (350 divided by the current exchange rate of 1.2187).

| Trading on Margin with ForexGen |
| 04.21.08 (4:46 am) [edit] |
|
The key to FOREX popularity is margin. Without margin, the FOREX would be beyond the reach of the average investor. So, what exactly is margin and how does it work?
Margin accounts allow FOREX traders to control large amounts of currency with a relatively small deposit.
Establishing a margin account with a FOREX broker enables you to borrow money from the broker to control currency lots which are usually worth $100,000. The amount of borrowing power your margin account gives you is the leverage. Leverage is usually expressed as a ratio – a leverage of 100:1 means you can control assets worth 100 times your deposit.
What this means in FOREX is that with a 1% margin account you can control standard lots of $100,000 with a $1,000 deposit. Trading on margin increases both profits and losses, and the potential exists for the trader to lose more than his original deposit. With proper safeguards, however, loss can be limited, and usually brokers will terminate a transaction that extends beyond the margin deposit.
Benefits
As we mentioned above, trading on margin gives you more buying power and the potential for more profits (and losses). How does this work, exactly? A 1% margin account allows you to control a currency lot of $100,000 for $1,000. When dealing with $100,000 small changes in the price of the currency can result in large profits or losses.
FOREX currencies are traded in much smaller units than cash. The American dollar, for example, is traded in units down to 4 decimal places. Instead of $1.32 FOREX quotes are seen as $1.3256. The smallest unit in FOREX currencies is called the pip, and when you have a $100,000 each pip of your total lot is worth $10 (when trading American dollars).
If the price of American dollars changes from 1.3256 to 1.3356, that's a difference of 100 pips which represents a profit or loss of $1000. Without margin, if you had $1000 of currency, the price change from 1.3256 to 1.3356 represents a difference of $10. Significant to the tourist, perhaps, but not the investor.
So the benefit of margin is increased profit potential.
Risks
As there is increased profit potential, there is also increased loss potential. If you are not careful, your entire margin account could quickly be wiped out. If your margin account is 1% and the currency moves just one cent against you, you lose $1000.
FOREX trading, however, has several methods to limit loss. Stop loss orders automatically close your position if the value of the currency crosses a pre-determined point. Stop loss orders allow you to limit your losses to a specified amount while still allowing potential profit taking.
An often overlooked risk is the possibility that your broker may close your position if your potential losses approach the balance of your margin account. You may be riding out a down trend with the expectations of a market reversal, but unless you replenish your margin account you may find your position has been closed. If this happens, you lose all of your margin.
For example:
You sell EUR/USD at 1.2144 (sell 100,000 euros and buy 121,440 US dollars) with the expectation that the euro will fall in price. You have a 1% margin account which means the required margin is $1,214.40. You have $1250 in your margin account, so to enter this position your margin account is left with $35.60.
You have not specified a stop loss order, and after you enter this position the euro suddenly rallies, gaining 0.0263 for a price of 1.2407. 100,000 euros are now worth US$124,070 and your 1% margin requirements have risen to $1,240.70. Depending on the policy of your broker, your position may be automatically closed or the extra funds in your margin account may be used to make up the difference. In any case, if the euro continues to gain value and you wish to ride it out (bad idea) you will have to add more funds to your margin account or risk losing everything.
Another example:
You buy USD/CHF at 1.2623 with the expectation that the US dollar will gain against the Swiss franc. You buy a standard lot of 100,000 American dollars for 126,230 Swiss francs with a margin requirement of 1% or $1,000.
As expected, the US dollar rises to 1.2683 at which point you close your position. You sell 100,000 American dollars for 126,830 Swiss francs for a profit of 600 francs or US$473.08 (600 francs divided by the exchange rate of 1.2683).

| Lowest Spread with ForexGen |
| 04.21.08 (4:41 am) [edit] |
|
If we take no commissions or fees, then how are we compensated for our brokerage services, might you ask? The answer is: the spread. As you may have noticed, a currency pair quote comes with two displayed rates for instance, GBP/USD 2.025/2.028. Those refer respectively to the bid price (the rate at which you may short sell the pair) and the ask price (the rate at which you may buy the pair). The spread is the difference between those two rates. The tighter the spread, the more advantageous it is for you. ForexGen offers spreads as low as 1 pip on the main currency pairs. ForexGen is able to offer such tight spreads thanks to the huge capital traded by its clients each day and the excellent inter-bank conditions thus negotiated.

| Benefits of Forex Trading with ForexGen |
| 04.21.08 (4:31 am) [edit] |
|
Forex offers great investment opportunities for those wishing to diversify their portfolio. Forex benefits and advantages are many. Here are some of the main reasons why more and more corporate and individual investors choose to trade forex:
• No Commissions, Small Transaction Costs: This is probably one of the most attractive forex benefits. Indeed, when you trade forex, you are not charged any fees or commissions on your deals. The way it works is that brokerage firms get paid through spreads (the difference between the bid and the ask price). This allows for extremely low transaction costs. Thanks to its large number of clients and to the large volume and capital traded through the platform, ForexGen offers very competitive spreads on the main currency pairs.
• Leverage Trading: High Returns with Relatively Small Deposits. this means that even if traders deposit a small amount of money, they can actually trade with a much bigger contract value. ForexGen offers a 200 to 1 leverage. If you make a $100 margin deposit, you can actually trade $20,000 worth of currencies. With a $1,000 margin deposit, you can buy or sell $200,000 worth of currencies. However, you must keep in mind that if leverage allows for substantial profits, it also can lead to equally significant loss. One of the chief forex benefits can thus become a major liability. That's why you need to figure out your own risk management policy before you start trading.
• High Liquidity: This refers to the forex market's ability to quickly convert or liquidate deals through buying or selling and without causing a significant price movement. The high liquidity of the forex market is mainly due to the large volume of currencies traded around the world. That way, currencies are exchanged instantaneously, 24 hours a day and with minimum loss value, since the next trade is usually executed at the same price as the last one. In the forex market, there are always plenty of ready and willing buyers and sellers.
• Open 24 hours a day: The forex market is open 'round the clock, 5 days a week, from Sunday 5 pm EST to Friday afternoon 4 pm EST. This is due to the fact that there is an overlap of different time zones and that there is no physical central exchange that opens and closes at a particular time. Forex works through a global electronic network of corporations, banks and individuals. When you hear that a certain rate closed at particular price, this refers to the price at market close in London or elsewhere. However, unlike securities, currencies are still traded somewhere else in the world. The global scope of currency trading, as well as the high demand for currency, implies that there are always investors somewhere who are willing to buy or sell currencies. This also allows traders to trade on a part-time basis, meaning that they can choose to trade whenever they want.

There is one problem that most forex traders fail to come to terms with and lose and its operating in an unstructured environment – this is the major underlying reason traders lose, so lets it explain it and its significance in more detail.
In normal society we confirm to rules and laws they govern our lives and those of our fellow citizens, were used to them and we conform to them.
When a forex trader trades, he has to operate in an unstructured environment and create his own rules to live and survive by.
This sounds easy enough to achieve, however nothing could be further from the truth – it’s very hard and most traders simply can’t achieve it.
Let’s take a closer look at the problems associated with operating in an unstructured environment.
1. Taking Responsibility For Your Actions.
This means taking charge of your destiny and most people simply cannot accept this responsibility.
They want the comfort of having someone to hold their hand and blame if thinks go wrong.
Problem is if you don’t accept responsibility, you won’t win - no one else will make you rich in Forex trading, you’re all on your own.
2. You Have To Create a Set of Rules to Survive
The market which you confront is all powerful, it moves as and when it wants – it’s always right and you can only be wrong .
Again, this causes major psychological problems for traders – we all hate being wrong, but in this instance you have to accept the market is right ALL the time, if you don’t you will run loses and the market will destroy you.
Most traders get frustrated and break their rules, or create a new set as they lose and end up chasing their tail. If you create rules you must have the discipline to apply them and most traders simply lack the mindset to do this.
3. The Work Ethic Does Not Apply
Most people try and overcome losses with a higher work rate.
After all the more you put in the more you get out. They assume if they acquire more knowledge or trade more often, their profitability will increase but the markets won’t reward effort.
You get your reward for being RIGHT and that’s it in forex trading, not the effort you put in.
4. Forex Traders Need To Be Anti Social!
We don’t mean you have to be rude to anyone - but you need to keep yourself to yourself and stay away from the pack and its opinions when trading forex.
Remember 95% of forex traders lose!
We find this uncomfortable.
After all, were pack animals and since stone age times we have sought comfort and belonging with others of our species. When we go against the majority opinion, we feel uncomfortable, as were simply not used to it.
Operating in the forex markets is far harder than many people think and most traders are simply unprepared for the mental problems that it confronts them with.
You will hear often that it is mindset more than method that contributes to success in the markets and its true.
If you have ever wondered why traders find it so hard to trade with discipline, this article may have helped you see why and given you an insight into what you need to do to achieve currency trading success.

| Excellent Strategy with ForexGen |
| 04.21.08 (4:06 am) [edit] |

Said to be one of the largest exchange market the Forex market is also gaining popularity. The possibility of earning large profits adds to the traders appeal. Although trading in this market is not easy, it can be, provided one understands the Forex trading system. Even a planned investment can many times take a wrong turn. The investor has a bad day even after planning his actions. Nevertheless, this is of little concern to the Forex trader. Every trader in the Forex market knows that to keep the losses at a minimum the trader will have to use the trading signals and this can be done only and when the trader uses the Forex trading system. In this way, he will learn to survive the volatile investment market and brave investing again. The Forex trade allows the traders to conduct their trade in a rather emotionless manner. This is because the pre-determined guidelines that form the system make it an easy task.
Executing his actions is now easy as there are fixed price levels of initial stop loss and trailing loss. Apart form this there already exists a computed price profit, which is projected in the trader’s interests. This in built system of computation allows the trader to know what his level of loss or profit is and even the risk to reward ratio before he even begins to trade for the day. Using the trading system the trader plans his trades and makes a profit if he trades correctly. But on the other hand if the trader makes a wrong move and is more likely to make a loss than a profit then the Forex trading system will show the trader that he is making a wrong move. In this way the trader is able to move out of the situation quickly and the huge losses he would have otherwise incurred is no more a worry. Trading in this way is very safe and the trader is warned when he makes a wrong move. The Forex trading comes under the day trading, meaning the investors buy and sell their securities or they open and close their markets on the very same day.

When you want to check the Forex trading system as an option, what you can do is review this trading system by finding out how other Forex traders like it. You can easily ask the existing Forex traders their trading experience and how they like it via the trading system. Trading forums are another way of receiving reviews about the Forex trading system. As there are a number of forums, you will have no difficulty in getting the information you require. However many professionals feel that day trading is quite profitable though it is not the easiest way to trade. If this wasn’t a profitable method of investing then how does one explain the large number of day traders who earn their income solely from this source? Therefore, if you wish to be part of any system that relates to day trading then it is necessary that you have sufficient knowledge about the Forex trading systems.

| Forex Trend Following with ForexGen |
| 04.21.08 (4:00 am) [edit] |
|
The most lucrative form of trading is locking into and following long term trends in forex that can last for months or years. Most traders have no idea how to profit from forex trend following so we will show you how to do it in 5 simple steps.
1. Be Selective
The first point to keep in mind is that the big trades don’t come around very often so you need to be patient and selective. You don’t get rewarded for trading frequently; you get rewarded for being right.
You can trade less than a dozen times a year and make triple digit gains, if you pick the right trades. So don’t be tempted to get in the market for the sake of it be patient.
2. Watch Breakouts
Forget buying low and selling high – most great trends start from new market highs and you have to be ready to buy these breaks.
If you wait for a pullback you will simply miss the best trends, because when a new trend breaks out - it moves quickly.
The best risk/ reward is offered on the these breaks. Most traders can’t buy breakouts, as they want to buy at a lower better price and wait for a pullback and they never get in and miss the trade.
3. Use a Simple System
To trend follow and catch breakouts you don’t need a complicated system.
All you need to understand are basic trend lines and the concept of support and resistance and that’s it.
A simple forex trading system is best, as it’s easy to understand and easy to apply – if you complicate your system, it will be less robust and will have too many elements which will break in trading.
All the best forex trading systems are simple and yours should be to.
4. Trade Valid Support and resistance only
Keep in mind, you only want to trade breaks that are considered important by the market.
This means that levels have been tested several times, in at least two time frames, preferably a few months.
When these levels are broken, chances are there are stops behind the level wating to be hit and new trend followers waiting to kick in which will accelerate the price trend.
5. Confirm – Confirm – Confirm!
Make sure that any breakout is confirmed by momentum oscillators – this will ensure you filter out false breakouts.
If you are not trading with price momentum, you’re not trading the odds and you won’t win – period.
Only take breakouts confirmed by a rise in price momentum.
We don’t have time to discuss the indicators to use here - but look up: RSI, ADX and the stochastic, as a good place to start.
6. Accept Short Term volatility
Breakout trading can see huge volatility after the initial breakout has occurred, don’t be tempted to move your stop to quickly WAIT.
You’re trying to catch the big trends so accept that you will see counter moves eat into your profits by several thousand a day.
If you want to catch the big trends and make $10, $20, $30,000 or more - accept the drawdowns in the short term and keep your eyes on the bigger prize if you dont you will be stopped out early and miss the big profit you were aiming at.
So there you have it.
A simple, logical system, that can and will pile up huge profits in under an hour a day.
You won’t have to spend much time on this system and you won’t trade very often – but you will make a lot of money and that at the end of the day, is what forex trading is all about.

| ForexGen Introduces Currency Market |
| 04.21.08 (3:56 am) [edit] |
|
International currency market - Forex (from Foreign Exchange market) is the largest twenty-four-hour dynamically developing highly remunerative market in the world. The promising Margin Trading system is one of the most paying capital investing and business administering ways. Having originated in the 70-ies of the 20th century, it enabled a wide circle of progressive participants with not very big capitals to get income quickly by increasing the speed, turnover, number of deals and volume of trade. Trade with money for money and only for money (and these are the assets circulating on FoRex) has the lowest cost price of deals and the highest liquidity possible.
Practically in seconds, at any time of day you can buy or sell at the market price any amount of currency essentially exceeding the capacity of any other market. Already now, the total volume of this ever-growing, huge international market exceeds 3-4 trillion US dollars per day, which is 1-3 annual budgets of USA (for comparison: the volume of securities market on New York Stock Exchange is 300-500 milliard dollars a day only).
The absolutely-highest-of-all -possible liquidity of trading operations is a strong attractive power for investors and speculating traders. It ensures the freedom to open or close positions of any volume practically at one and the same - currently available - market quote, with minimum spread.
The intensity and quantity of buyers and sellers ready for deals doesn't allow separate big participants to move the market in joint effort in their own interests on a long-term basis. Unambiguity and stability of quotes ensures essential continuity of price fluctuations, allows to execute orders-applications in a workmanlike manner and facilitates deal-making.
Twenty-four hours a day, constantly, in any time zone, in all financial centers, throughout the working week except for weekends the work on the market is going on. There're always people who trade and banks that work, providing prices for deals at any moment, opening or closing your positions on the market. Active twenty-four hours a day uninterrupted access allows concluding deals, keeping track of and executing your orders, making quick decisions, reacting to events on-the-fly and, being ahead of others, getting better prices. It's an essential, risk-reducing strong and attractive advantage.
The ability to keep open positions as long, as you wish, and lack of commission expenses for deals, except for small natural market difference - spread - between the bid and ask prices, essentially increases profitability of trade and traditionally lowers operating expenses, reducing the cost of deals, making it lower than on other financial markets.
Deals with currency pairs allow to use any trends and to get big profit constantly, both with ascending and descending trends, for each position includes the act of buying of one currency and simultaneous selling of another. You can buy yen for euro, and pay for dollars with pounds. A sufficient selection of the most appropriate and quickly tradeable instruments in the middle of a large number of currency pairs allows to work confidently, understanding and using their interference in order to trade several currencies at a time.
The progressive technologies of global interbank trade, absence of controlling and supervising institutions with all their charges and fees, unique opportunities opened up by Margin Trading without delivery lower the cost price of deal processing, which improves your working conditions.
Freedom and perfect competition on Forex allows to do without any special place for trade, there're no limitations on currency fluctuations and trade never stops, no regulation, deals are concluded between the banks all over the world, via modern point-of-sale terminals (ReutersDealing, EBS) and by phone, while the prices are determined only by demand and supply, which calls forth strong trends and allows getting considerable profit.
All these advantages provide exceptional earning opportunities and enable you to stay on the market all the time, combining the trade and your basic occupation, keeping track of all essential events and making deals.
High dynamics of constant changes in demand and supply due to various events taking place all the time at high rate, free price fluctuations as well as the opportunity to trade in real time, in combination with the capability to get quick and significant speculative profit (in a few hours or even minutes) at low risks, brings new promising participants to the market, able to find their bearings quickly and wishing to make real profit by trading.

| ForexGen Analytical Methods |
| 04.21.08 (3:42 am) [edit] |
|
"Forex indicators" is the name for a number of analytical methods applied to the trading system, whether its rules are called signals.
Mathematical approximation, also known as filtration is used in analytical methods. The main object of the technical analysis is certainly the share price figures. The direction, the strength, and the strength of the market are determined through technical analysis indicator.
Technical analysis indicators are divided into specific and non-specific. Equation and algorithm are often used as the forms of quantifying technical analysis indicators. Other indicators, like head and shoulders, trend lines, support and resistance appear to be patterns.
Certain functions represented by an indicator are taken from some time periods at the set time "window". There are six categories that indicators are divided into:
Trend indicators
Trend describes the direction in which the price moves during some period of time. Trend can move up, down and sideways. (E.g. Trend lines, Moving Averages)
Strength indicators
The data of market opinion intensity is described by market strength. It is carried out through analyzing market participants' positions. (E.g. Volume)
Volatility indicators
This indicator shows daily price movements despite their trend direction. So, prices changes are dependent on the volatility trend changes. (E.g. Bollinger Bands)
Cycle indicators
It indicates the cyclical fluctuations of the market caused by some unique or repeated events like elections or seasons. (E.g. Elliott Wave)
Support/resistance indicators
This indicator shows price showings at which market makes a repeated rise or fall and then returns to normal conditions. (E.g. Trend Lines)
Momentum indicators
The speed of price fluctuations during a certain period is described by the momentum. The beginning of the trend gives higher momentum values whether the end of the trend gives lower ones. An extreme price figures along with low momentum shows the end of the trend. Rising momentum and stable prices show possible inversion of the price direction. (E.g. Stochastic, MACD, RSI)

| Types of Analysis with ForexGen |
| 04.21.08 (3:38 am) [edit] |
|
There are two principal and confronting schools in Forex analysis - the fundamentalists and technicians. Both are supposed to be right. Sometimes technicians are more successful, other times the fundamentalists are gaining more profit. And usually when one group of analysts makes a mistake the other surely says, "We told you so." So, which one to chose? There are many possible answers to that question, and three of them are the most popular.
If you are a "long-term" Forex investor in search of enterprises with big capital, growth and income potential, the fundamentals are better. If you are a "short-term" Forex investor, or a Forex market trader, in search for companies who are "on the verge" of being discovered, fundamentals will be better. If you are a "long-term" investor who is not as concerned about one company's basics because you will diversify to minimize risk, or you are a "short-term" investor waiting for investor sentiment to change, then technical analysis will be useful for you.
Nowadays many traders use both fundamental analysis and technical analysis. The technicians tell you about the broad market and its trends. The fundamentalists tell you if an issue has the "basics" for reaching your investment goals. Fundamental and Technical analysis are different in many points. There isn't clear answer, which method has gained more profit during a definite period of study. It's better to use the best ideas from each side. Then the result will be impressive.

| Exchanges Around the World with ForexGen |
| 04.21.08 (3:33 am) [edit] |
|
Technology has fueled the growth of global trading over the past decade, fostering dreams of a single universal marketplace. Yet, investors who have diversified their portfolios across borders and product lines might not always know how their orders are handled on a multiplicity of exchanges and market centers around the globe.
Rules and trading technologies differ significantly not only from one country to the other, but often from one exchange to the other. Rules change frequently too, as exchanges continue to evolve from members-owned monopoly utilities into competitive execution businesses.
ForexGen LLC , which provides direct access to over 50 exchanges and market centers around the world, has incorporated these various exchange rules in its SMART-routing technology to ensure that customers obtain true best execution, no matter what product they trade or where they trade it.
The business of the exchanges is in flux, due to heightened competition and the consolidation trend inherent to a utility-type sector. A number of exchanges have already demutualized and turned themselves into for-profit corporations, some of which are publicly traded. Other markets are merging to better compete in a low-margin business where innovations require substantial investments.
U.S. exchanges face important regulatory challenges as well, with the Securities and Exchange Commission mulling crucial reforms to modernize U.S. capital markets in the 21st century.
The proposed Regulation NMS would acknowledge the advance of electronic trading and likely force the remaining floor-based securities exchanges to alter their model in order to remain competitive. In anticipation of the changes, the New York Stock Exchange has already submitted a proposal for a new hybrid model.
An even bigger challenge may come from the SEC concept release on self-regulatory organizations. It questions the “advisability of implementing enhancements to the current SRO system or pursuing an alternative regulatory model,” which could lead to a single independent regulator with no business ties to the exchanges. Without a regulatory franchise, exchanges would be businesses fighting for customers.
ForexGen has followed how trading began and is still evolving on the major venues that its Universal platform accesses via broadband to trade equities, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), options, futures, foreign exchange and bonds. With Universal, ForexGen provides a gateway to global markets and multiple products from a single account in a single currency.

| Financing your FX with ForexGen |
| 04.21.08 (3:15 am) [edit] |
|
Financing your FX positions held overnight
(known as interest rollover or ‘TomNext’)
Trading strategies involve the use of interest rate differentials between the currencies in a pair and those positions that are rolled over from one trading day to the next will incur financing based upon these interest rate differentials. You pay interest on the currency that you sell and receive interest on the currency that you buy.
The interest rate applied is ‘TomNext’ which is an abbreviation for ‘Tomorrow’ or the ‘Next’ business day because the first value date is tomorrow or the next business day. The TomNext price reflects the applicable interest rate between Tomorrow/Next and the ‘Spot value’ date. At (22:00) 10:00pm London Time (Standard FX market Value-Date change time) each day, ForexGen settles all spot positions by closing the trade at the current market rate and re-opening it for the following day’s spot date at a rate that will reflect the interest rate differential.
Example:
You are long the GBP/USD pair.
You will receive interest on the GBP and pay interest on the USD.
If GBP has a higher interest rate than the USD, you will receive a net interest payment but if GBP has a lower interest than the USD, you will pay out a net interest payment.

| The Forex Currency Pairs with ForexGen |
| 04.21.08 (3:10 am) [edit] |
|
Foreign Exchange trading is in general the trading of many currencies of the world. It is emerging as the largest and least regulated market providing the greatest liquidity to investors.
This trading is always done in pairs – Currency Pairs, one currency is bought and the other is sold. Together, they make up what is known as the "exchange rate".
For example, you may buy Euros with Dollars, anticipating that the Euro to increase in value relative to the Dollar. If the Euro rises relative to the Dollar, you sell the position and can earn a profit.
Most commonly traded currencies or the “majors” are:
US Dollar (USD)
Japanese Yen (JPY)
Euro (EUR)
British Pound (GBP)
Canadian Dollar (CAD)
Australian Dollar (AUD)
Swiss Franc (CHF)
Most commonly traded currency pairs are:
US Dollar and the Japanese Yen (USD/JPY)
Euro and US Dollar (EUR/USD)
US Dollar and Swiss franc (USD/CHF)
British Pound and US Dollar (GBP/USD)
While quoting currency pairs, the first currency is referred to as the base currency and the second as the counter or quote currency. The base currency is always equal to 1 monetary unit of exchange, for example, 1 Dollar, 1 Pound, 1 Euro.
Trading Forex Currency Pairs for Maximum Profit
It is also known as domestic currency or accounting currency and sometimes also referred to as the primary currency of a Forex currency pair. The price represents how much of the quote currency is needed to get one unit of the base currency.
When a currency is quoted against US Dollar, it is known as direct rate. Any currency not against the US Dollar is called a cross rate.
The quote currency is translated into a certain number of units of the base currency. This is also referred to as the foreign currency, secondary currency or counter currency. For example, if you find that a quote of USD/JPY is at 1.30, it says that for every 1 US Dollar, you get 1.30 Japanese Yen. When you quote for AUD/JPY of 67.73, it says that for every 1 Australian Dollar, you get 67.73 Japanese Yen.
Currency pairs are generally traded as 100,000 units of the base currency. For example, if you were buying EUR/USD at 0.95 you would be paying Dollars for Euros as follows:
100,000 x .95 = $95,000 for 100,000 Euros
When you find a quote going up, it means that the value of the base currency is rising or in other words, it is getting stronger. If a quote is going down, it means that the base currency is weakening.
The dominant base currencies are:
Euro - EUR/USD, EUR/GBP, EUR/CHF, EUR/JPY, EUR/CAD
British Pound - GBP/USD, GBP/CHF, GBP/JPY, GBP/CAD
US Dollar - USD/CAD, USD/JPY, USD/CHF
The currency pairs are usually traded and quoted with a ‘bid’ and ‘ask’ price. The ‘bid’ is the price at which you are willing to buy and the ‘ask’ is the price at which price you are willing to sell.
For example, if the USD/EUR currency pair is quoted as - USD/EUR = 1.5 and you purchase the pair, this means that for every 1.5 euros that you sell, you get US$1. If you sold the currency pair, you receive 1.5 euros for every US$1 you sell.
The key to successful trading lies in selecting one or two pairs of currencies that you wish to trade in as a beginner. As you gain confidence, you may wish to add more pairs in your trading portfolio. But for a new trader or investor it is always advised to have limited pair just to ensure simplicity. And that what ForexGen Promises with.

| Developing a Forex Strategy with ForexGen |
| 04.21.08 (3:05 am) [edit] |
|
A fool-proof trading strategy can help you gain profit from day one in the Forex market. If you spend some time to study the market you will find some price patterns that recur consistently.
You can substantiate your observations with charts or graphs using a strategy builder software and then finally develop a strategy unique for your trading habits.
So developing a sound and effective trading strategy is the important foundation of the trading. You must develop working knowledge of technical analysis as well as knowledge of some of the more popular technical studies before deciding which is going to be the best strategy for you.
A trading strategy should optimize your risk with respect to the reward, or vise versa. It should have a disciplined method of limiting the risk and make the most out of favorable market moves.
Using Technical Analysis to Build your own Forex Strategy
Technical analysis can supplement your trading strategy. Many professionals for example make use of moving averages along with other indicators. This method has an element of risk control (built-in) – where a long position will be stopped out fairly quickly in a falling market generating a stop-and-reverse signal or a sell signal in a rising market
At the initial stage you should rely on a logical system in having a view of the market. Discipline will be the keyword for establishing yourself as a successful trader. Your trading decisions should not be based on irrational emotions where you continue to experience losses with the hope of regaining the position. Your ability to limit your losses is just as important as determining the entry points.
