The modern foreign exchange market characterized by periods of high volatility (that is a frequency and an amplitude of a price alteration) and relative stability formed itself in the twentieth century. By the mid-1930s the British capital London became to be the leading center for foreign exchange and the British pound served as the currency to trade and to keep as a reserve currency. Because in the old times foreign exchange was traded on the telex machines, or cable, the pound has generally the nickname “cable”.
After the World War II, where the British economy was destroyed and the United States was the only country unscarred by war, U.S. dollar, in accordance with the Breton Woods Accord between the USA, Great Britain and France (1944) became the reserve currency for all the capitalist countries and all currencies were pegged to the American dollar (through the constitution of currencies ranges maintained by central banks of relevant countries by means of the interventions or currency purchases). In turn, the U.S. dollar was pegged to gold at $35 per ounce. Thus, the U.S. dollar became the world's reserve currency. In accordance with the same agreement was organized the International Monetary Fund (IMF) rendering now a significant financial support to the developing and former socialist countries effecting economical transformation. To execute these goals the IMF uses such instruments as Reserve trenches, which allows a member to draw on its own reserve asset quota at the time of payment, Credit trenches drawings and stand-by arrangements.
The letters are the standard form of IMF loans unlike of those as the compensatory financing facility extends financial help to countries with temporary problems generated by reductions in export revenues, the buffer stock financing facility which is geared toward assisting the stocking up on primary commodities in order to ensure price stability in a specific commodity and the extended facility designed to assist members with financial problems in amounts or for periods exceeding the scope of the other facilities.

Dollar Trades Mostly Lower, But Rises vs Pound
Dollar mostly lower, but rises versus pound in thin end-of-year trading
The dollar was mostly lower Monday, but gained versus the pound in light holiday-week trading.
The 15-nation euro inched up to $1.4091 in late New York trading from $1.4067 late Friday. The British pound, meanwhile, dipped to $1.4555 from $1.4677 late Friday as it circled parity with the euro. The pound hit its most recent record low of 1.0198 euros Monday.
The pound traded as high as 1.3620 euros -- and $1.9982 -- at the beginning of the year. It has dropped in value against the dollar and the common currency as Britain faced a contracting economy and the Bank of England chopped interest rates from a peak of 5.75 percent to a more than 50-year low of 2 percent.
Interest rates in the euro zone remain at 2.5 percent. The European Central Bank cut rates by 0.75 percentage points earlier this month.
Cutting interest rates can undermine a currency as investors transfer funds to earn higher returns.
The Federal Reserve has cut its key federal funds rate from 4.75 percent in Sept. 2007 to its current range of 0.25 percent to zero, the lowest level on record.
The buck slipped to 90.33 Japanese yen from 90.58 yen.
The dollar moved amid thin holiday liquidity on a day with no scheduled data to guide trading. Later this week, reports on U.S. home prices and manufacturing are expected to shed more light on the U.S. recession.
In other New York trading Monday, the dollar dipped to 1.0518 Swiss francs from 1.0675, and edged lower to 1.2104 Canadian dollars from 1.2221.

Dollar Moves Within Tight Range in Thin Trading
Dollar mixed, moving within tight ranges in light Christmas week trading
In light holiday trading, the dollar dipped against the euro, but edged higher against the yen and pound Friday.
The 15-nation euro rose to $1.4067 in late New York trading Friday from $1.3999 late Wednesday, while the British pound slipped to $1.4677 from $1.4752.
The dollar also rose to 90.58 Japanese yen Friday from 90.39 yen late Wednesday ahead of the Christmas holiday.
With a lack of economic reports or government financing actions to direct trading, the greenback moved within tight ranges against the major currencies.
As expected, preliminary data showed a lackluster holiday shopping season compared with last year, but equities in the U.S. traded higher on the heels of the Federal Reserve's agreement to make General Motors Corp.'s financing arm, GMAC Financial Services, eligible for bank rescue aid. The Dow Jones industrials rose about 47 points.
In other New York trading, the buck fell to 1.0675 Swiss francs from 1.0740 francs late Wednesday, but gained to 1.2221 Canadian dollars from 1.2156.

Types of Forex Orders
Multiple types of orders are available in the forex market. Bear in mind that not all order types are available at all online brokers, so add order types to your list of questions to ask your prospective forex broker.
Take-profit orders
Don’t you just love that name? An old market saying goes, “You can’t go broke taking profit.” Use take-profit orders to lock in gains when you have an open position in the market. If you’re short USD/JPY at 117.20, your take-profit order will be to buy back the position and be placed somewhere below that price, say at 116.80 for instance. If you’re long GBP/USD at 1.8840, your take-profit order will be to sell the position somewhere higher, maybe 1.8875.
Limit orders
A limit order is any order that triggers a trade at more favorable levels than the current market price. Think “Buy low, sell high.” If the limit order is to buy, it must be entered at a price below the current market price. If the limit order is to sell, it must be placed at a price higher than the current market price.
Stop-loss orders
Boo! Sound’s bad doesn’t it? Actually, stop-loss orders are critical to trading survival. The traditional stop-loss order does just that: It stops losses by closing out an open position that is losing money.
Use stop-loss orders to limit your losses if the market moves against your position. If you don’t, you’re leaving it up to the market, and that’s dangerous. Stop-loss orders are on the other side of the current price from take-profit orders, but in the same direction (in terms of buying or selling). If you’re long, your stop-loss order will be to sell, but at a lower price than the current market price.
If you’re short, your stop-loss order will be to buy, but at a higher price than the current market.

Boo! Sound’s bad doesn’t it? Actually, stop-loss orders are critical to trading survival. The traditional stop-loss order does just that: It stops losses by closing out an open position that is losing money.
Use stop-loss orders to limit your losses if the market moves against your position. If you don’t, you’re leaving it up to the market, and that’s dangerous. Stop-loss orders are on the other side of the current price from take-profit orders, but in the same direction (in terms of buying or selling). If you’re long, your stop-loss order will be to sell, but at a lower price than the current market price.
If you’re short, your stop-loss order will be to buy, but at a higher price than the current market.

Many Reasons to Choose Trading Forex
The smart trader pays close attention to spreads, because they are the cost of trading.
Other market makers may list low spreads, even a 0.9 EUR/USD spread, but there are often strings attached. Their “special rates” may apply only if deposit amount, lot size, trade volume, regional or other restrictions are met. Or these rates may be available only for particular times of the day or week.
By contrast forex brokers offer tight spreads to all traders with no discrimination. Our posted spreads are our standard spreads, except when market liquidity just isn't available to us (for example, during market events or weekends).
• Get the spread that’s posted (under normal market conditions).
• Get the same spread, regardless of your account size, account type, or trade size.
• Get the rate you expect, with immediate settlement, fast execution.
• 100% automated – no intermediaries, no trading desk, and no disappointments.

US Dollar Outlook Remains Bullish Against Key Forex Counterparts
Lackluster US Dollar price action means that our forecasts remain effectively unchanged. We maintain that the US Dollar is likely to recover further through the near term, but our outlook is fraught with uncertainty through a notoriously illiquid end-of-year trading week.
Our outlook for the Euro against the US Dollar effectively remains unchanged. After massive rallies that swiftly took it to multi-month highs, the Euro/US Dollar is likely to continue its correction before any further ascent. As it stands, the pair remains in a very tight short-term trading range, and the absence of any real speculative interest on a holiday-shortened trading week suggests we may see similarly lackluster price action through the very short-term. Our bias remains to the downside, but a hold of near-term support at 1.3825 suggests that the pair could drift higher or trade sideways until further notice.
Our outlook for the US Dollar/Japanese Yen pair likewise remains unchanged from yesterday, as the duo have effectively remained unchanged. “The US Dollar/Japanese Yen may continue to bounce from recent multi-year lows, as the pair has hit the bottom of its multi-year trend channel and quickly reversed. The lows likewise coincide with heavily oversold weekly oscillators, and a return to more normal market conditions would favor further US Dollar recovery. Multi-year spike lows at 87.14 should serve as a base, while next resistance is seen at the top of its short-term downtrend near 93.00.”
At the risk of sounding repetitive, sideways price action in the British Pound/US Dollar leaves our bias exactly unchanged. “The British Pound has found a short-term base against the US Dollar, holding highly-contested support near the psychologically significant 1.4700 mark. Its recent price formation likewise looks vaguely like an inverse head and shoulders pattern, and a break above 1.5500 would signal that a more medium term reversal is likely. Shorter-term, the British Pound looks to challenge previous spike-highs at the psychologically significant 1.5000 mark.”
We maintain that the US Dollar/Swiss Franc is likely to hold important Fibonacci support through the near future. The 1.0670 mark represents the 61.8 percent Fibonacci retracement of the 1.2300-0.9640 move, and said level may continue to contain declines through price action in the coming weeks. The shorter-term picture is much more difficult to decipher, as the severity of recent USD/CHF moves leaves little in the way of significant resistance levels. Previous spike-highs just above 1.1300 represent the next level of clear resistance, and the USD/CHF could effectively remain within a range through the holiday-shortened week of trading.
The US dollar has found a base against the Canadian Dollar at the 1.2000 mark, representing the confluence of the USD/CAD’s short-term rising trendline and the 38.2 percent Fibonacci retracement of the 1.0300-1.3020 move. Said level is likely to contain any short-term declines in the USD/CAD, while intraday spike-highs near 1.2400 represent subsequent support. A break below 1.2000 would negate our short-term bullish bias.
Our Australian Dollar outlook remains unchanged on almost-exactly flat AUD/USD price action. “The Australian dollar has shown clear difficulty in clearing psychologically significant support at 0.7000 against the US Dollar, which likewise represents the 38.2 percent Fibonacci retracement of the 0.8520-0.6010 decline. Inability to clear said resistance mark would definitively suggest that likely short-term direction is to the downside—favoring Australian dollar weakness. Support can be found at the AUD/USD’s short-term rising trendline, which roughly comes in at 0.6800. A break lower signals that a move towards previous support in the 0.6500-0.6600 range is likely.”
The New Zealand dollar finds itself almost exactly at support of a minor rising short-term trendline, with a break lower to signal further declines are likely. The pair has thus far failed at the 50.0 percent Fibonacci retracement of 0.6960-0.5190 at 0.6070, and such a move keeps our short-term trading bias to the downside. A break of 0.5700 invites a move towards intraday congestion zones in the 0.5400-0.5500 range.

Euro Up Against The Dollar at $1.4057
Euro up against the dollar at $1.4057 on strong German consumer news
The euro recovered some ground against the dollar Monday after a German survey showed consumer confidence is stabilizing in the European Union's largest economy.
The 15-nation currency bought $1.4057, up from the $1.3887 it had plummeted to late Friday in New York. That followed a volatile week that saw the euro reach its highest point against the dollar since September at $1.4719 early Thursday morning.
A survey by the GfK research group said its forward-looking consumer climate index for Jan. 2009 stood at 2.1 points -- flat against a revised 2.1 points in December and an indication that lower inflation is offsetting Germans' fear of unemployment despite the nation's descent into recession. Falls in consumer prices and energy costs helped preserve a willingness to buy, the survey showed.
The British pound edged up to $1.4882 from $1.4859 late Friday while the dollar fell to 84.67 Japanese yen from 89.45 on Friday.
