The Basics Outlined For You - Currency Trading Tutorial

By Frank Miller


Trading on Forex can be a daunting task. The following currency trading tutorial will introduce some of the areas you will need to understand in order to trade successfully in this market. To become a profitable trader, you must build your knowledge constantly. You will need to open a trading account with a broker. The initial deposit that you make will be small in comparison to the amount of money you will be trading. Your broker will lend you a large percentage of the money you will be trading with. This leverage must be carefully managed. It can greatly enhance your gains, but it can cause your losses to be multiplied if the trade moves against you.

There are many benefits of investing your money in international currency trading. First, there are tons of people all over the world involved in the huge and growing international currency trading market. Secondly, trading can be done at any time, day or night. Third, there is a very low barrier of entry.

You will be able to purchase a currency at the asking price. For example to buy the EUR/USD you may pay $1.49. If you wanted to sell that same currency you may only receive $1.45 for each euro. The difference between the two prices is what the broker charges as a commission to execute the transaction.

For an agency to trade in currency, it has to clear certain stringent norms and procedures. The bank should necessarily comply with the conditions laid down by the federal bank of the country. In many third world nations, only the government agencies and nationalized banks are eligible to engage in currency trading. There have been relaxations in case of certain agencies, which have been permitted to engage in currency trading. However, these agencies are constantly monitored to ensure that they are following the norms are laid down.

If there is one thing you take away from this currency trading tutorial it should be that you need to become an expert in two areas. The first one is to become an expert in technical analysis. Nearly all traders use this tool to help them make their trading decisions so it is very important that you use it also. There are excellent books on technical analysis, as well as high quality classes taught be experienced traders. Technical analysis will help you identify price trends and changes that are developing in those trends. This will help in making decisions to buy or sell and when. You will learn to set stop-loss-orders to limit your risk exposure. When you combine this technical analysis with fundamental analysis you are in a position to make the best decisions. Fundamental factors have a day to day affect on prices and technical analysis can help you see how these factors have moved prices in the past. Past behavior can help predict future behavior.

It is not very common for an experienced trader to lose all their money while trading currency, which makes for another great reason to get involved in this industry. Now don't get me wrong. Some people do lose money in this industry, however it is a great way of making money quickly and easily if you are knowledgeable, diligent, and have the right tools.
