19. Forex Dictionary

Base currency
This is the first currency of a currency pair. Example : EUR/USD. The Euro is the base currency. For every trade, you always buy or sell the base currency.

Broker
This is the company that will provide you the forex trading service. You open and fund an account and start to trade. Each broker has its own prices, spreads, minimum requirements (amount of money to start trading). Brokers generally offer a demo account and also have some training programs. See a list of Forex Brokers we recommend.

Exchange rate
The exchange rate tells how much a currency is worth in terms of another currency. Example In the pair EUR/USD, the exchange rate is 1.30. This means 1 euro (base currency) is worth $1.30. SO you can buy $1 .30 dollar with 1 euro, or sell 1 euro for $1.30.

Leverage
This is what allow small investors to trade big lots. Forex brokers have leverage of 100:1 or 200:1. This means you can use $100 to trade $10,000 (100x100) or $20,000 (100x200). The leverage depends of the broker.

Lot
Forex is traded in lots, because a pip is a too small amount of money if you could only trade with $1. You can't trade forex with only $1. The standard lot size is $100,000, the mini lot size is $10,000. Brokers now also let you trade smaller lots. To understand pips and lots see our article : Forex profits - pips and lots.

Quote currency
This is the second currency in a currency pair. In the EUR/USD pair, the US Dollar is the quote currency. Quote currency is also called counter currency.

Pip
Pip stands for percentage in points. This is the last decimal point and minimum increment you can see on a quote. Example : 1.1230. Here 0 is the last decimal point, if the price increases to 1.1235, this is 5 pips more. You will look at the pips to know if you are earning or losing money. To understand pips and lots see our article : Forex profits - pips and lots.

Position
A position can be "long" or "short". Long specifies a trade where you buy and hope the price goes up. Short specifies a trade where you sell and expect the price go down.

Signal
Signals are alerts that help traders. Signals are sent by signals providers or your broker. Signals are sent by email, sms or directly to your trading platform (software). Signals generally include the entry and exit points for a pair at a specific time of the day.

Spread
The Ask/Bid spread is the different between the ask (buy) and bid (sell) price. The spread is given in pips.

18. Forex Demo

My second recommendation is to practice a lot. Your forex broker will let you open a free demo forex account and you will trade the real time forex market. Of course this is not real money. I suggest you practice for 3-6 monthes before starting trading forex with your own money in a live account.

You need to know that forex brokers requires a minimal investment to open a forex live account. Marketiva, will let you open a free $10,000 practice account and gives you $5 to trade live.

If you really want to become a forex trader and from your home, you must be patient. Learn to manage risk and practice currency trading a lot with a demo account.

17. Managed Forex Accounts

If you have enough money, you can sign up for a managed forex account. These accounts generally require at least $10,000, sometimes more, to be opened. Here you ask your Forex broker to manage the funds for you. The forex broker will ask his forex traders to do the work. So your funds are in the hands of professionnal traders. Risks are really lowered and you don't need to stay at your computer to fight with forex charts. Of course the forex broker will take a percentage (about 20%) of the net profit made.

This is a high percentage, but a little example : you invested $10,000 and the forex trader who manages your money makes 10% ($1,000) profit a month. He takes 20% ($200) of the profit. You still earned $800.

16. Automated Forex Trading

Some forex brokers offer forex autotrading services. You fund your account and choose the pair you want to trade. Then their software receive signals and trade automatically. If your forex broker doesn't offer this option, you can find a software and setup it to autotrade

You will have to add files to called "expert advisors". Nothing difficult, once your trading software is installed, just copy the expert advisor file in the indicated folder. You then can activate the expert advisor and let the trading automated.

Canadian Dollar Dips On Bada Statistics

Fed’s Projections - Uncertain
Federal Reserve’s FOMC published its first meeting minutes to include the 3-year projections of the committee members regarding the GDP growth, consumer prices inflation and unemployment rate.

13.Euro Declines on Dovish ECB Expectations

The euro declined against the U.S. dollar and the Japanese yen today after opening with a rather large negative weekly gap against these currencies as the traders expect that ECB will continue rate reduction this week.

The European currency fell to the one-month lowest against they yen and the weakest level since January 6 against the dollar. The currency analysts and Forex traders expect that the European Central Bank will cut its main interest rate to the lowest level since 2005 on its next meeting this Thursday — January 15. The today’s decline in the Asian stock markets also helped the yen to grow against the euro as the investors ran away from the carry trade.

Apart from the ECB rate decision, this week will feature some important macroeconomic reports from the world-leading economies. Analysts expect these reports to show the further worsening of the overall situation that will spur the risk-aversion and inevitably push the yen and the dollar up against the euro. If the ECB’s cut will exceed 50 basis points, euro may fall significantly faster than the markets are showing currently.

12. NZD Drops as Credit Rating Outlook Revised

The New Zealand dollar dropped to the monthly low against the U.S. dollar today as the S&P rating agency revised the country’s foreign currency credit rating outlook from stable to negative.

Standard & Poor’s, one of the world’s leading credit rating agencies, confirmed New Zealand’s AA+ foreign currency credit rating and revised its outlook to negative yesterday. The country’s currency reacted with a drop as the confidence in the national economy and the ability of the business to get the refinancing declined significantly after the aforementioned event.

The kiwi (a nickname, by which the New Zealand dollar is known) also fell sharply against the Japanese yen and the Australian dollar. The decline against the latter signals that the current bearish trend is caused almost solely by the credit rating outlook change and has little to do with the currently popular carry trade unwinding.

Analysts point at the New Zealand dollar as one of the clear Forex outsiders. Its position is worse than the one of the Australian dollar and, while those two are closely related (both Australia and New Zealand are export-orientated economies), the AUD/NZD becomes an attractive investment opportunity today.

NZD/USD fell from 0.5730 to 0.5563 as of 8:38 GMT today with the daily low at 0.5556 — the minimum level since December 16. NZD/JPY declined from 51.19 to 49.39, while AUD/NZD rose from 1.1853 to 1.2086 today.
