foreign exchange market

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

In this section, we’ll take a look at some of the benefits and risks associated with the forex market. We’ll also discuss how it differs from the equity market in order to get a greater understanding of how the forex market works.
The Good and the Bad
We already have mentioned that factors such as the size, volatility and global structure of the foreign exchange market have all contributed to its rapid success. Given the highly liquid nature of this market, investors are able to place extremely large trades without affecting any given exchange rate. These large positions are made available to forex traders because of the low margin requirements used by the majority of the industry’s brokers. For example, it is possible for a trader to control a position of US$100,000 by putting down as little as US$1,000 up front and borrowing the remainder from his or her forex broker. This amount of leverage acts as a double-edged sword because investors can realize large gains when rates make a small favorable change, but they also run the risk of a massive loss when the rates move against them. Despite the foreign exchange risks, the amount of leverage available in the forex market is what makes it attractive for many speculators.

The currency market is also the only market that is truly open 24 hours a day with decent liquidity throughout the day. For traders who may have a day job or just a busy schedule, it is an optimal market to trade in. As you can see from the chart below, the major trading hubs are spread throughout many different time zones, eliminating the need to wait for an opening or closing bell. As the U.S. trading closes, other markets in the East are opening, making it possible to trade at any time during the day.

Time Zone Time (ET)
Tokyo Open 7:00 pm
Tokyo Close 4:00 am
London Open 3:00 am
London Close 12:00 pm
New York Open 8:00 am
New York Close 5:00 pm

While the forex market may offer more excitement to the investor, the risks are also higher in comparison to trading equities. The ultra-high leverage of the forex market means that huge gains can quickly turn to damaging losses and can wipe out the majority of your account in a matter of minutes. This is important for all new traders to understand, because in the forex market – due to the large amount of money involved and the number of players – traders will react quickly to information released into the market, leading to sharp moves in the price of the currency pair.

Though currencies don’t tend to move as sharply as equities on a percentage basis (where a company’s stock can lose a large portion of its value in a matter of minutes after a bad announcement), it is the leverage in the spot market that creates the volatility. For example, if you are using 100:1 leverage on $1,000 invested, you control $100,000 in capital. If you put $100,000 into a currency and the currency’s price moves 1% against you, the value of the capital will have decreased to $99,000 – a loss of $1,000, or all of your invested capital, representing a 100% loss. In the equities market, most traders do not use leverage, therefore a 1% loss in the stock’s value on a $1,000 investment, would only mean a loss of $10. Therefore, it is important to take into account the risks involved in the forex market before diving in.

Chrysler Go Bankrupt

Monday, May 4th, 2009

Chrysler files for bankruptcy

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — Chrysler LLC filed for bankruptcy Thursday. But a deal has been reached to combine the company with Fiat in order to allow Chrysler to stay in business.

The bankruptcy filing, which was made in federal court in New York, comes after some of Chrysler’s smaller lenders refused a Treasury Department demand to reduce the amount of money the troubled automaker owed them.

In remarks at the White House, President Obama said that the bankruptcy filing is not a failure for the company but “one more step on the path to Chrysler’s revival.”

Obama vowed the bankruptcy process would be quick, efficient and controlled. A senior administration official predicted it would be completed within 30 to 60 days. The combination with Fiat is also due to close during that period of time.
According to government officials, a new company will be formed that will buy the assets of Chrysler – its plants, brands, land, equipment, as well as its contracts with the union, dealers and suppliers – from the bankruptcy court.

The company’s liabilities and an unspecified number of Chrysler’s 3,300 dealerships which now sell the Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep brands will be left behind in the bankruptcy court.

Administration officials said the Treasury Department will provide Chrysler with about $8 billion in loans on top of the $4 billion in loans it has already received to get it through bankruptcy.

Officials said $3.3 billion of the new loans will be used to fund operations during bankruptcy, while the remaining $4.7 billion will allow Chrysler to function normally once it exits bankruptcy. In addition, the Canadian government will loan the companies $2.7 billion to help support Chrysler’s Canadian operations.

Let GM, Chrysler go bankrupt

Chrysler and General Motors have offered the government two choices: bankruptcy or more bailouts. The only responsible choice at this revealing point, unfortunately, is bankruptcy.

If that is not how President Barack Obama sees it — and there are signs he doesn’t think bankruptcy should occur — then it is time for Congress to get some backbone. Public sentiment should help lawmakers make this hard call. A recent Rasmussen poll says Americans oppose new loans to the automakers by 64-24 percent, with 11 percent undecided.

Chrysler and General Motors asked Tuesday for up to $21.6 billion in new loans on top of the $17.4 billion they received in December. Ford, to its credit, has not sought such bailout assistance.

GM warns that it might need up to $100 billion in government financing if it chooses bankruptcy, but that looks like a bluff. The company’s outstanding stock is worth roughly $1.3 billion. Yet GM says it needs $9 billion just to get through the next three months, according to The Washington Post. That is a high burn rate, and it is likely to continue if more federal aid is forthcoming, with no end in sight to this cycle of dependency.

When Congress passed the December bailout, it set a condition of GM and Chrysler delivering “turnaround plans” by Tuesday. But the plans the companies submitted Tuesday didn’t meet the requirement of signing new agreements with the United Auto Workers to cover reductions in wages, benefits and the financing of retiree health care. UAW negotiators walked out of a meeting with the automakers last week. UAW President Ron Gettelfinger said Tuesday the union “will help these companies,” but as long as the prospect of more federal help looms, he apparently believes he can continue to negotiate.

Congress also ordered GM to reach an agreement with the company’s bondholders, but the Post reported that a settlement on that front has not been reached.

President Obama has jettisoned the idea of a federal “car czar” to manage the government’s interest in the companies that have taken federal loans. According to The New York Times, he plans to make decisions about the industry on his own, with the help of labor negotiator Ron Bloom. But the president has many other very important things to worry about. He should not take on the job of nanny to the auto industry and the UAW.

Congress gave GM and Chrysler a fair amount of time to negotiate with the unions and the bondholders. That time has passed. Congress should reject those auto giants’ requests for more federal money.

GM and Chrysler then should proceed toward a carefully crafted bankruptcy that will allow them to continue making vehicles and serving their distributorships while wiping out their debilitating debt and labor-contract obligations.

The Secrets To: Emotion Free Trading

THE TALE OF TWO TRADERS

Our first trader is Ned. Ned is an off-the-floor trader who day trades the S&P 500 Futures. He’s been trying to be consistently successful for the last six months. Unfortunately, it hasn’t worked out very well. But it’s not because of his methods that he’s having so much trouble. No, the main reason Ned is not making the kind of money he wants is because he cannot control his emotions and consistently act in his own best interest. From the very beginning, Ned was confident he would be successful day trading the S&P’s. He’d been very successful in his previous business. Ned owned a retail printing company and he’d learned to make good sound business decisions that helped him become very successful. He almost never made any major mistakes that were detrimental to the business. In fact, in over the nine years he owned the company, he really prided himself in always looking at the big picture and keeping his business moving forward. On the rare occasion when something did go wrong, Ned worked at lightening speed to fix the problem, and many times he turned the crisis into an opportunity.
Because of the smart decisions he’d often made, Ned was sure he could carry this into his new career of commodity trading. At least that’s what he thought would happen. So, when Nedreceived a generous offer from a corporation to  buy his printing company, he decided this might be the time to take the money and run.
It wasn’t that difficult for him to decide to sell. He definitely loved having his own business and, of course, it was that much more rewarding because he was successful. But for the last two years, he’d been so busy that he was working about 65-70 hours a week. That left very little time for him to spend with his family. This made the decision to sell very easy for him.
Another thing that made Ned’s decision easy was that he wanted to try a new business. He had learned as much as he could about commodity trading. He’d read as many books and magazines he could get his hands on. He definitely thought he could transfer his successful business practices to commodity trading. Thus, he could trade from home and be able to spend alot more time with his family. He was quite confident he would be a success in this endeavor too.

ACTING IN YOUR OWN BEST INTEREST

You will see this theme throughout this book. It is the most important concept you can learn in order to be a successful trader. If you can master this skill, you can be very successful in this business. But without it, you are destined to fail. It really is that simple. If you can learn to act in your own best interest, you will make a lot of money trading. If you don’t learn to act in your own best interest, you will lose a lot of money trading.

You see, the (futures) markets work in a very different way than almost everything else in life. There is more freedom in this business than probably any other business in the world. You can do what you want, when you want, pretty much any time the market is open. The only thing that will hold you back is running out of money. Other than that, you have all the freedom in the world to do whatever you want in the market.

Trading really is different from everything else we do in life. In the everyday environment, you can have control (at least somewhat) by taking actions that affect the environment. For example, if you wanted to listen to some music, you would have to turn on the radio. If you push the power button on the radio, music will come out of the radio. If  you don’t push the power button, the radio will not turn on.

Spot Market and the Forwards and Futures Markets

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

There are actually three ways that institutions, corporations and individuals trade forex: the spot market, the forwards market and the futures market. The forex trading in the spot market always has been the largest market because it is the “underlying” real asset that the forwards and futures markets are based on. In the past, the futures market was the most popular venue for traders because it was available to individual investors for a longer period of time. However, with the advent of electronic trading, the spot market has witnessed a huge surge in activity and now surpasses the futures market as the preferred trading market for individual investors and speculators. When people refer to the forex market, they usually are referring to the spot market. The forwards and futures markets tend to be more popular with companies that need to hedge their foreign exchange risks out to a specific date in the future.

What is the spot market?
More specifically, the spot market is where currencies are bought and sold according to the current price. That price, determined by supply and demand, is a reflection of many things, including current interest rates, economic performance, sentiment towards ongoing political situations (both locally and internationally), as well as the perception of the future performance of one currency against another. When a deal is finalized, this is known as a “spot deal”. It is a bilateral transaction by which one party delivers an agreed-upon currency amount to the counter party and receives a specified amount of another currency at the agreed-upon exchange rate value. After a position is closed, the settlement is in cash. Although the spot market is commonly known as one that deals with transactions in the present (rather than the future), these trades actually take two days for settlement.

What are the forwards and futures markets?
Unlike the spot market, the forwards and futures markets do not trade actual currencies. Instead they deal in contracts that represent claims to a certain currency type, a specific price per unit and a future date for settlement.

In the forwards market, contracts are bought and sold OTC between two parties, who determine the terms of the agreement between themselves.

In the futures market, futures contracts are bought and sold based upon a standard size and settlement date on public commodities markets, such as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. In the U.S., the National Futures Association regulates the futures market. Futures contracts have specific details, including the number of units being traded, delivery and settlement dates, and minimum price increments that cannot be customized. The exchange acts as a counterpart to the trader, providing clearance and settlement.

Both types of contracts are binding and are typically settled for cash for the exchange in question upon expiry, although contracts can also be bought and sold before they expire. The forwards and futures markets can offer protection against risk when trading currencies. Usually, big international corporations use these markets in order to hedge against future exchange rate fluctuations, but speculators take part in these markets as well. (For a more in-depth introduction to futures, see Futures Fundamentals.)

forex Introduction

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

The foreign exchange market (forex or FX for short) is one of the most exciting, fast-paced markets around. Until recently, forex trading in the currency market had been the domain of large financial institutions, corporations, central banks, hedge funds and extremely wealthy individuals. The emergence of the internet has changed all of this, and now it is possible for average investors to buy and sell currencies easily with the click of a mouse through online brokerage accounts.

Daily currency fluctuations are usually very small. Most currency pairs move less than one cent per day, representing a less than 1% change in the value of the currency. This makes foreign exchange one of the least volatile financial markets around. Therefore, many currency speculators rely on the availability of enormous leverage to increase the value of potential movements. In the retail forex market, leverage can be as much as 250:1. Higher leverage can be extremely risky, but because of round-the-clock trading and deep liquidity, foreign exchange brokers have been able to make high leverage an industry standard in order to make the movements meaningful for currency traders.

Extreme liquidity and the availability of high leverage have helped to spur the market’s rapid growth and made it the ideal place for many traders. Positions can be opened and closed within minutes or can be held for months. Currency prices are based on objective considerations of supply and demand and cannot be manipulated easily because the size of the market does not allow even the largest players, such as central banks, to move prices at will.

The forex market provides plenty of opportunity for investors. However, in order to be successful, a currency trader has to understand the basics behind currency movements.

The goal of this forex tutorial is to provide a foundation for investors or traders who are new to the foreign currency markets. We’ll cover the basics of exchange rates, the market’s history and the key concepts you need to understand in order to be able to participate in this market. We’ll also venture into how to start trading foreign currencies and the different types of strategies that can be employed.
The foreign exchange market is the “place” where currencies are traded. Currencies are important to most people around the world, whether they realize it or not, because currencies need to be exchanged in order to conduct foreign trade and business. If you are living in the U.S. and want to buy cheese from France, either you or the company that you buy the cheese from has to pay the French for the cheese in euros (EUR). This means that the U.S. importer would have to exchange the equivalent value of U.S. dollars (USD) into euros. The same goes for traveling. A French tourist in Egypt can’t pay in euros to see the pyramids because it’s not the locally accepted currency. As such, the tourist has to exchange the euros for the local currency, in this case the Egyptian pound, at the current exchange rate.

The need to exchange currencies is the primary reason why the forex market is the largest, most liquid financial market in the world. It dwarfs other markets in size, even the stock market, with an average traded value of around U.S. $2,000 billion per day. (The total volume changes all the time, but as of April 2004, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) reported that the forex market traded U.S. $1,900 billion per day.)

One unique aspect of this international market is that there is no central marketplace for foreign exchange. Rather, currency trading is conducted electronically over-the-counter (OTC), which means that all transactions occur via computer networks between traders around the world, rather than on one centralized exchange. The market is open 24 hours a day, five and a half days a week, and currencies are traded worldwide in the major financial centers of London, New York, Tokyo, Zurich, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, Singapore, Paris and Sydney – across almost every time zone. This means that when the trading day in the U.S. ends, the forex market begins anew in Tokyo and Hong Kong. As such, the forex market can be extremely active any time of the day, with price quotes changing constantly.
