Forex Options Trading - Cross Currency
Filed Under Forex | Leave a Comment
In forex trading terminology, cross currency refers to a pair of currencies that do not include the U.S. dollar. It is commonplace in the forex market to exchange any foreign currency to U.S. dollars before trading. In cross currency, a trader does not need to go through that.
Cross currency is a technique that aims to completely bypass the need to convert currency to American dollars before converting it back to the desired foreign currency. One example is the GBP/JPY (British pound-Japanese yen) cross for England and Japan currencies. This is invented in order to convert money between the two currencies without needing to convert them into U.S. dollars.

Currency trading, also known as forex trading or fx, is the largest trading market available to investors regardless of their size. The volume and dollar amount is fifty times greater than the total value of goods and services traded around the globe every year. In forex or currency trading, the exchange rate between two currencies defines what one of them is worth in relation to the other. This value depends on several factors, like financial, political, economic, and sometimes even psychological events that affect a particular country. Individual investors as well as large corporations and institutions participate in this large market. Their goal is to make a profit on the exchange rate variations. Forex is considered a bull market because its volatility allows constant buy opportunities and it is never affected by any bear markets. This high volatility not only allows great profits, but also great losses. Read more

Though I have been working in an Indian manufacturing Industry for over 30 years, and my employer is coming under the category of top ten industrialist of India, my knowledge about stock market was terrible. I was not even using my company’s employee 401K. But based on a relative’s advice, I decided I had to learn more.
A few years ago my family started to encourage me to invest the stock market, but I was hesitant. With the help of a local broker I bought a few shares. This was the beginning in my adventure in the stock market.
My first impression about the stock market was great because I got some profit in my first adventure out of the gate. This was my beginning in stock option trading system. A field which was alien to me became my part and parcel of my life.

Foreign Currency Trading Strategies
Filed Under Forex | Leave a Comment
Many people these days are making easy money trading on the currency market. If you are not one of these people you should be as spreads are currently five pips on EUR/USD trades, which is the most traded currency pair.
The currency trading market is open 24 hours a day, meaning that you can choose to trade as much or as little as you want. If you are following a certain strategy then you won’t be interrupted by market closes, and if it’s easier for you to trade at night then during the day this is easily accomplished.

Leonardo of Pisa, better known to us today as Fibonacci first introduced what we call the Fibonacci sequence to the west in his 1202 book Liber Abaci (the sequence was already known in Indian mathematics). He stumbled upon this sequence while attempting to estimate how many rabbits he would be able to breed in one year based on his knowledge of their breeding habits. This mathematical model is used by Forex traders today.
So you see, what many people mistakenly take as a mere mathematical abstraction, just “fooling around” with numbers, is rooted in very real-world applied mathematics. To state things very basically, the Fibonacci sequence can be used to detect and describe otherwise hidden patterns in the world around us.
It works really well while investing. Why? Well, based on the mass behavior of investors there are various hidden patterns in the stock market. Perceptive investors know this. Investment aphorisms such as “The best time to buy is when there’s blood in the streets” and “Buy low and sell high” work well. However, they also relate to understanding the investment markets hidden patterns.
The reason that investment market patterns are so well hidden is because “up close” they cannot be seen. Day to day, hour to hour fluctuations in the investment markets cannot be predicted with any accuracy. But certain overall trends that extend over longer periods of time definitely can be. And savvy investors, including Forex traders, have successfully been using Fibonacci’s number sequence to take advantage and make big profits.
The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers in which each successive number is the sum of the two previous numbers. So it goes 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, and into perhaps infinity. There are a number of interrelationships held within these numbers; for instance, any given number is approximately 1.618 times the preceding number, and 1.618 happens to represent the ancient Greeks’ “golden ratio”–considered to be the supreme essence of balance (and balance is the ultimate key to successful investing).
The most common applications of the Fibonacci sequence for investment purposes are retracements and arcs.
A Fibonacci chart is made of three curved lines which represent support levels, key resistance and ranging. A trendline is first drawn between two points (generally the high and low points over a given period of time). Three curved lines are then drawn which intersect the trendline at the 38.2%, 50% and 61.8% points. Decisions about buying and selling are made at these points (i.e. - when the price of the commodity in question reaches these points).
In the world of investment, retracement relates to the reversal in movements of the price of a stock. An impressive reversal can counter the prevailing trend in the stock. Successful progressive investors focus strongly on the retracement patterns and possibilities. The Fibonacci method of retracement evaluates the prospects of the price of a financial asset being more superior than is average as well as supporting or resisting at key Fibonacci levels before continuing on its original course. Between the two extreme points a trendline is drawn and then its vertical distance by the ratios of 23.6, 38.2, 50, 61.8, and 100 percent, according to Fibonacci.
The Fibonacci retracement is widely used by sophisticated traders to find: strategic places for transactions to be placed; target prices; and stop-losses. Other technical tools including Tirone levels, Gartley patterns, and Elliott Wave theory all make use of retracement.
The Fibonacci formula simply works and is useful while investing. Forex traders worldwide are finding it successful while using it.
