Currency Trading Online - Great Reward And Risk

By John Eather

Available online currencies: The list of online currencies available for trade on the foreign currency market is almost endless depending on the program, software or interface you use. The most commonly traded currencies in the world are US Dollar/Yen, Euro/UD Dollar, GBP/US Dollar, US Dollar/ Can Dollar, US Dollar/ Franc and Australian Dollar/ US Dollar.

Rate Formula: Most programmes, software and interfaces come with trade rate calculators. Remember to check that the calculators take real-time values in consideration. However should you want to calculate the rates on your own the following formula is used Y-to-X exchange rate =1/ X-to-Y exchange rate.

Pro's to online: The biggest advantage to online trading is that the market is open for business twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. The favourability of the markets' liquidity is even more attractive if accessible by a mere click of a mouse. Order limits and strategies to curb loss can be setup on the system. Gearing or leveraging allows for great profit opportunities while still keeping risk minimal. Bear markets can also be used turned into bull markets by use of short and long positions depending on pair values.

Thumbs down: Great success can be achieved with proper knowledge and comprehension of the forex market. It's key not to trade with funds you are not willing to loose. If you are an impulsive person without a set plan or strategy, you should rather stay away from trading as it can turn into an addiction. Due to the volatility, huge moves occur daily having an impact on both your profits and initial cash investment. Leverage on the one hand can be very favourable and on the other hand cause a total loss if margin calls are made when risk is greater than your account size.

Be realistic: If you are realistic with your possible rewards and risks you will be an excellent trader. The fact that transactions are conducted spot, over-the-counter make them loose cannons. You work directly with possibly more experienced counter parties with no protection from clearing houses or brokers. Due to the skipping of clearing houses, no guarantees of delivery and payment are furnished. The purpose mainly for forex markets are to speculate, thus trader buy and sell at an extremely fast pace with only profits in mind. Possibility of total cash balance loss is very real, with the smallest of movement in the market. - 23210
