Foreign Currency Trading


The Division of Trading and Markets (now Division of Clearing and Intermediary Oversight, or DCIO) issued an advisory in 2002 concerning foreign currency trading by retail customers (PDF). The advisory affirms that off-exchange trading of foreign currency futures and options contracts with retail customers by a counterparty that is not a regulated financial entity as set forth in the CFMA is unlawful. The advisory further states that, if there is a lawful counterparty to the transaction, such as a person registered as a futures commission merchant, the persons acting as intermediaries to such a transaction, that is, in the manner of an introducing broker, commodity trading advisor or commodity pool operator, would not need to register under the CEA if that is their only involvement in futures or option transactions.

DCIO issued an additional advisory in 2007 concerning foreign currency trading by retail customers (PDF). The DCIO Advisory addresses the following issues: (1) registration requirements for associated persons of firms registered as introducing brokers (IBs), commodity trading advisors, and commodity pool operators that are involved in forex transactions; (2) the permissibility of certain unregistered affiliates of a futures commission merchant to act as proper counterparties in forex transactions; (3) claims that forex customer funds are segregated; (4) introducing entities acting as fx(5) the applicability of the IB guarantee agreement to forex transactions and prohibiting guaranteed IBs from introducing forex transactions to an Fxthat is not its guarantor Fx; (6) prohibiting forex account statements of an Fx unregistered affiliate from being included in the account statements to its customers; and (7) prohibiting retail customers from acting as counterparties to each other in forex transactions.

Euro Going Higher

Despite an empty economic calendar, the Euro pushed higher against the greenback to reach a

high of 1.39898 during the overnight session, and may continue to push higher over the U.S. session as market participants place their bets ahead of the durable goods orders report.
The investor or trader is definitely not going to become a walking encyclopedia at the completion of the training, but is going to be far better equipped to deal with the ups and downs of foreign currency trading than before!

Why Are Spreads so Important to Forex Traders?


It is important to pay close attention to spreads because they are the true cost of trading (and the way the broker makes a profit).


As a trader, your sole interest is buying low and selling high. But wider spreads mean buying higher and having to sell lower, making it more difficult to realize a profit. A half-pip lower spread doesn't sound like much, but it can easily mean the difference between a profitable trading strategy and an unprofitable one.

To give you an idea of the impact that spreads have, let’s assume your total forex trading or hedging activity in one year is $10 million. At a 1-pip spread, your trading costs are $1000 ($10,000,000 X 0.0001). Increase the spread to 10 pips, however, and your trading costs jump to $10,000 ($10,000,000 X 0.0010). Spread matters.

Not convinced? To calculate and compare the impact of spreads on various trade scenarios, see OANDA's
spread cost calculator. This tool shows you how even a pipette or two in either direction can affect your profits.

ForexGen Explains Forex Market

ForexGen introduces to all its users a free online academy that would aid them in either learning more about Forex market or in developing their strategies. It is a free academy available online; you can register and enjoy ForexGen services.

Trading Volume

Forex trading is unlike any other type of trading or investment simply because of the massive amount of turnover that the market will see on any given day. The daily turnover for the Forex market is over $3 trillion. Yes, that means that over $3 trillion dollars moves on the market every single day. This number has moved up as the years go by, and is reaching $3.25 trillion a day at a fairly rapid rate.

Number & Variety of Traders and Currency

Another major unique feature of Forex trading is simply the number and variety of those trading on the Forex market. Because the market is broken up into tiers (instead of a wide market making everything available for everyone), the entire Forex market features a vast variety of traders and counties. Of the top 10 currency traders, however, 5 are from the United States and 3 are from the United Kingdom. The top trader in the Forex system is Deutsche Bank from Germany.

The Forex market also has a mass amount of currency that is being traded daily. The United States Dollar is the top currency traded daily, followed by the Euro, the Japanese Yen, the British Pound, and the Swiss Franc. Rounding out the top ten is the Australian Dollar, the Canadian Dollar, the Swedish Krona, the Hong Kong Dollar, and the Norwegian Krone. These ten currencies control the major portion of the traded currencies in the Forex market.

Day trading

Another incredibly unique aspect of trading on the Forex market is the fact that you have the ability to trade 24 hours a day. There are the three major markets (The US, Europe, and Asia), and at any given time there is at least one market open. Because of the wide array of markets and times, the market is technically trading and moving 24 hours a day. The markets are not going as crazy on the weekends; however, as the 24 hour trading only takes place during the weekdays.
