Forex Trading online

Let's first of all start with the equation which relates to how and why markets really move and it's this: Supply and Demand Fundamentals + Human Perception of them = Price Simple? Yes it is but most traders fail to see its signifcance which is: It's not the facts that are important, its how humans perceive them that is; always remember humans are creatures of emotion and don't conform to some scientific theory which means all the commonly perceived views below about trading Forex are wrong: - You can predict market movements in advance- You can trade breaking news and the facts - Markets move to some mathematical theory - You can make money from short term moves i.e. scalping or day trading. Its clear that markets move to probabilities not certainties.

Trading characteristics

centrally cleared market for the majority of FX trades, and there is very little cross-border regulation. Due to the over-the-counter (OTC) nature of currency markets, there are rather a number of interconnected marketplaces, where different currencies instruments are traded. This implies that there is not a single exchange rate but rather a number of different rates (prices), depending on what bank or market maker is trading, and where it is. In practice the rates are often very close, otherwise they could be exploited by arbitrageursinstantaneously. Due to London's dominance in the market, a particular currency's quoted price is usually the London market price. A joint venture of theChicago Mercantile Exchange and Reuters, called Fxmarketspace opened in 2007 and aspired but failed to the role of a central market clearing mechanism.

News Sources for Financial Trader

Getting the latest important news is a must for every Forex. The Internet is full of various sites, but not all them feature financial news or provide such news in a timely manner.

1. Bloomberg — the ultimate news source about everything that is in any way related to the financial markets. Categorization by the regions helps in finding important international news.
2. Forbes.com Breaking News — a great site to get the recent financial information, it also provides free news from several paid news sources (i.e. Associated Press). Stock market traders will like the coverage of almost all kinds of companies.
3. Reuters Business & Finance — Reuters is one of the most professional informational companies in the world and they offer news as a free service to everyone.
4. BusinessWeek — they may be too old-fashioned, but BusinessWeek still features some exclusive news content and the very professional analysis.
5. Financial Times — I like FT for they are not as US-centered as some other financial news sites, they offer a pretty good world news outlook. Can be recommended as a source of Forex related news if you prefer trading exotic currency pairs.
6. CNNMoney — opposite to FT, CNN prefers news from United States, but it’s still good because the majority of world stocks are concentrated on the Wall Street. It will also be useful to the Forex dollar traders.
7. CNBC — a "must have" bookmark for every currency trader; news on foreign currency markets are delivered at the top quality level.

Noesis Forex

Forex is a new phenomenon. In only 20 years, this industry has developed from almost nothing to a daily US$1.5 trillion market. How did this happen? Was it by design? Or was it by accident?
Well the answer falls somewhere in between. There are three distinct time frames that set the stage for today's style of currency trading. The first time frame is the pre-currency trading era of the 1950s. The second time frame is the worldwide, politically volatile atmosphere of the 1970s. The third time frame is what has occurred in this free market economy since the demise of the gold standard 30 years ago. In each time frame, there have been three catalysts: war, gold, and foreign banks- that have played a significant role in propelling currency development.
