How to earn in Forex

Posted on 2:13 AM No Comments

Forex is somehow trading with benefits.
Forex always bears currency.
Know how to earn it.

Forex, where the commodity to be traded is currency, and not stocks and shares, is a trading market which gives its investors, returns in the form of the relative value of one currency exchanged against another. Forex trading is therefore, always dealt in currency pairs with the major currency pairs being Euro/US Dollar (EUR/USD) and US Dollar/Japanese Yen (USD/JPY), to name a few.

And it is with concurrent buying and selling of currencies that the trader hopes to make a profit on favorable exchange rate fluctuations. Exchange rates are always fluctuating, going down as well as up, within seconds and the whole art of trading lies in perfectly foreseeing the trend of the variation between two currencies.

But, how do you make money in such a competitive Trade market?

Well, here is an example to illustrate how…
Supposing the current bid/ask price for EUR/USD is going by the rate of 1.5027/30, giving you the option to buy 1 euro with 1.5030 US dollars or sell 1 euro for 1.5027 US dollars. Now, if you feel that the Euro is underrated against the US dollar, you would opt on buying Euros, selling your dollars at the same time. So you buy 100,000 euros by paying 150,300 dollars. You can then start analyzing the market, waiting for the exchange rates to rise. One can also opt in for Spot Forex Trading due to its benefits

As predicted, the rates begin to rise and then you decide a favorable rate at which you plan to sell your Euros to get a hefty profit. Supposing the Euro rises to 1.5090/93. Now, to realize your profits, you sell 100,000 euros at the current rate of 1.5090, and receive $150,900. You bought 100k Euros at 1.5030, paying $150,300. You sold 100k Euros at 1.5090, receiving $150900. That's a difference of $600 or in other words, you successfully earned a profit of $600.

Change and fluctuation, in any trading market is quiet frequent and rapid, especially in the Forex market, where these recurrent changes are also influenced by various other world events and factors like oil prices, interest rates and economic conditions. But with all these rapid fluctuations going on, the main aim of any Forex investor still remains on making profit. Every trader is predicting and waiting for the value of the currencies to change in his favor. You can also learn more about the Positions in forex

Online agents now happy, Forex card launch

Posted on 2:04 AM No Comments

Online agents are now happy because of the launching of the forex card. They should wearing a big smile on their face. Forex card will be a great help for all online agents.

So good luck to all agents!

A new pre-paid cash card is tipped to give online agents easy entry into a £2.5 billion market and provide an alternative to the foreign exchange “rip-off culture”.

MyTravelCash Card launched this week, with On Holiday Group chief executive Steve Endacott named as a non-executive director. Myles Stephenson (left) and Steve Endacott launch MyTravelCash.

Endacott will be at next week’s ITT conference in Dubai to promote the card.

He claimed it offered customers the most affordable way to buy foreign exchange, and opened a new market for online agents.

Endacott slammed the current forex sector, echoing a recent Which? Holiday report that concluded that customers pay exorbitant fees and are charged uncompetitive exchange rates.

The worst offenders were airport outlets where 40% of travellers buy foreign exchange.

“Online players have zero forex income but have an enormous amount of traffic. One visitor in 100 might buy a holiday, but the other 99 will buy forex somewhere,” said Endacott.

He estimated that the UK’s five million annual dynamic package customers each take £500 spending money abroad, equating to £2.5 billion.

MyTravelCash Cards are available in euros and US dollars and are backed by Mastercard and Newcastle Building Society.

Agents selling them will be offered commission based either on the amount uploaded or number of cards issued.

Endacott, who claimed he liked the idea so much he tried to buy the company, said the main issue was raising awareness.

The firm behind the cards, CorporatePay, has an agreement with VisitBritain to market pre-paid cards for inbound visitors from Europe and the US.

Myles Stephenson, chief executive of CorporatePay, said because it bought and sold foreign exchange it could manage its rates better and this gave it greater “cost efficiency”.

Forex Small investors flock

A Broker is a middle man acting between a client and a market maker. A broker will charge a commission for his services. Anybody can be a broker.

" Aformer mortgage broker, Raymond Firetag, now makes bets on the world's biggest currency pairs, such as the euro/U. S. dollar, U. S. dollar/Swiss franc and sterling/yen from his home "

After half his investment in emerging-market hedge funds evaporated, Cenk Utkan made a financial U-turn toward the most liquid market he could find. He's been trading in foreign currencies ever since.

"I got burned in Russia and China," said the 33-year-old managing director of London-based Connexion Capital, where he introduces hedge funds to institutional investors.

"In Russia, stocks got suspended. So I thought instead of locking my money up in a hedge fund, why don't I go to the most liquid end of the market, which is the currency market?" said Mr. Utkan, who trades currencies two or three times a day for his personal account.

Mr. Utkan has a lot of company. Small investors have fled stocks, real estate, emerging markets and other once-hot assets that have been battered by the worst financial crisis in decades and turned instead to currencies.

The global crisis has taught them that liquidity is king.

With more than $3.2 trillion in daily volume, the foreign exchange market is the most liquid market in the world. And unlike stock traders who often face rules on short-selling -- or betting that share prices will fall -- forex investors are free to go long or short since currencies are traded in pairs. The investor is always buying one and selling another.

"Retail investors around the world, particularly in countries where you have more controls over the equity markets, are definitely turning to FX," said Betsy Waters, global director of dbFX.com,the retail currency trading platform of Germany's Deutsche Bank. At dbFX.com,volume rose 37% in the first quarter from a year earlier and its customer numbers more than doubled in 2008.

After 14 years in real estate, the 43-year-old now makes bets on the world's biggest currency pairs, such as the euro/U. S. dollar, U. S. dollar/ Swiss franc and sterling/yen, on a laptop in his house in Sacramento, Calif.

"Real estate was really slowing down," Mr. Firetag said. "I've always had an interest in macro-economics, financial markets and geopolitics. Discovering I could possibly make a living at it was very compelling. It was almost like a fish to water."

But betting on currency pairs, which often see wild price swings, can be very risky, investor protection advocates warn. The use of leverage is a double-edged sword and can cause significant losses when things go wrong.

"If you want to have any chance of doing this long-term, the bottom line is risk management," said Mr. Firetag.
