EUR/USD in Experienced Traders Dec 06, 2016 at 12:47

EUR/USD is seen flirting around 1.0800 , which is also acting as an immediate resistance for the pair. Euro’s rebound partly reflected the fact that markets were expecting a “no” vote in the Italy referendum. A fresh bout of short covering also helped pair to upsurge over 200 pips from session’s low. Attention is now paid to ECB meeting due on Thursday for further clarity in pair’s direction.

The wind is changing in General Dec 01, 2016 at 12:44

EURUSD is range bound since there are a lot of uncertainties going on over Euro zone political stability. Moreover Italy referendum is also lined up and a rejection for proposed constitutional reforms can unleash confidence in the euro zone economy, which definitely can take euro down from its consolidation range. Right now, investors are just being sidelined, refrained to put any major positions before the major events. the recent short term rebound is just due to value buying in Euro and profit booking in USD and indeed if NFP comes better than expected it can test its psychological level of...

Market Makers and ECN: The Points of Difference in New Traders Nov 09, 2016 at 07:45

I agree. This post will give a better understanding about market makers and ECN brokers. In my opinion market makers or the dealing desk brokers are the one who earns money from the bid/ask difference as well as when the client looses a trade as they trade against their clients by hedgingwhereas an ECN broker doesn’t have any dealing desk and are not making money from bid/ask. They charge a minimal commission for arranging a marketplace for all the parties who then interact within the system and get the best offers for the trades available at that time.

Do you prefer fixed spreads or dynamic spreads? in New Traders Oct 27, 2016 at 12:51

In my view, variable spreads are better than fixed spreads. The reason being is the trading cost. For example, normally in case of variable spread, a commission (like around $4 per $100k) is charged to you and the average spread tends to remain around 0.3 or 0.5 pips so the total trading cost tends to remain below 1 pip (while it also depends on broker to broker, if you are going for ECN or STP account and what commission they are charging). While, in case of fixed spread, in normal market conditions the trading cost remains generally higher at 2 pips. If you go for variable spreads, during th...

hedge forex positions with no loss in General Oct 13, 2016 at 11:41

It is possible to create a hedge positions in different currency pairs but one has to match the notional amount of the buy side position with the sell side position. However, sometime hedging could be risky also when spread widens due to market volatility. Take the example of recent GBP flash crash, the spread widened a lot and I have seen many of fellows’ account getting burned due to that.

Is demo trading enough before real account? in New Traders Oct 06, 2016 at 07:24

Demo trading is enough if you have learnt about the trading platforms, developed your trading skills, have knowledge of how to trade, how to use technical indicators, candle stick trading, fundamental analysis. Trading in real money is different from demo trading. Emotions are different and loss will be real. If you think you are confident, can control your emotions, and prepared for the loss also, then surely you can go for a live account. But start with a low amount so that once you develop your own trading strategy and getting returns then you can go for a higher amount.
