Examples of transactions in the forex

At this time we will learn how to trade or open position in the market on Metatrader charts. Well understood and practiced in your demo account ..

Press the F9 key to order in Metatrader, or CLICK 2x on its currency in the Market Watch screen

Suppose you want to open sell position on the EURO / USD

 



At 6 pm the position of EUR / USD at a price of "Bid / Ask = 1.3776/1.3778

Bid (Sell) = 1.3776, Ask (Buy) = 1.3778

explanation:
Symbol: the name of the currency to be traded
volume: the lot size is used, the standard account is 0.10 that means every price movement is worth $ 1.

0.2 if it's one point worth $ 2, and so on.
Stop loss is stopped automatically at prices so (that is loaded) to minus position.

Take Profit is stopped automatically at prices so (loaded) for the position plus. To fill, easy, that's no small arrow next to them for setting the price at our mengambilprofit automatically (if the price touched), before you have to click the first "copy as".
Clear the Comment wrote ah, no coment
Type: Well there are several options ...
Instant Execution was to take short positions or buy to live in love, just click what you'd like to buy or sell traded. Now it is under buy sell to the click as the "brush" profit or loss discard.
Pending Order that for the price of the message. Read wrote in a posting on this blog wrote it?
Multyple close biarin wrote it, do not need to be discussed. not important.

You will open a sell position for example,
(At that time we order pairs of the position of the Bid (Sell) at rate 1.3776), and afterwards in our portfolio will account directly (minus) -2 floating point spread because there is this difference. (the difference between his buy and sell prices)

Then after that in the hours of 7 pm position EUR / USD turns into:
Bid (Sell) = 1.3756, Ask (Buy) = 1.3758

In this example, we will get a profit of 1.3776 - 1.3758 = 18 pips / points

  • If we order the Bid (Sell), and then if its ask price (Buy) move down smaller than the original price of our Bid, then we will get the profit.

  • When you order with Ask (Buy), and then if its Bid (Sell) to move up beyond the original price of Ask us, then we will get the profit.

  •  But if otherwise it will Loss (or Floating Loss)


Floating prices is if we have not diclose position (diliquid to be realized) and still in a position to move the floating market.

Fatal Error When using Autotrading

Autotrading like Zulutrade system, MirrorTrader and Pipsbook is an excellent solution for the owners of capital who can not trade or do not have time for trading. Many people who use Zulutrade profitable (and other systems) with various signal providernya. But not a few others that are not profit for a variety of errors. Consider these things and solutions:

1. Risk is too big


Generally, because of luck too sure at 3 parties (you, signal providers, and others who follow the signal provider), you determine the amount lotsize optimistic approach. Ie the assumption of where the market is never bad, and SP never passed drawdown that had been passed during the strategy goes. So you use a drawdown that has occurred as a benchmark max loss. As a result, when the drawdown is passed (-meaning there is a greater drawdown). Then there was a disaster.

For example, the SP has a 1000 pips drawdown. You deposit $ 1000, then using 0.1 lot (max risk means 1000 pips = $ 1,000). This is a recipe for disaster. Ideally it should be maximum drawdown of 20% -30% of your capital, not 100%. If you do not like math, use a free calculator to determine the exact lot ZuluTrade Calculator - FXOptimax

2. Overconfidence


After a few weeks of SP that you follow consistently profit, most people start itching to mess up their own risk plan. "During this profit anyway, really small drawdown, gw aja naikin his lot until fixed.!!!! '

Throw away those thoughts, unless you balance plus (so in accordance with the risk plan), or your balance increases significantly because profit.

Selogis might think a basic odds with science is taught in high school. If an SP has an average 80% profit position, means that 1 out of 5 of his trade will loss. If you have a 10x profit in a row, then the loss will be even greater possibilities. So do not raise your risk by increasing the lot while being a great opportunity loss.

The film titled 21 could be a good reference for the application of science opportunities.

3. Perceiving excessive SP


The pilots usually fly on autopilot, except during take off and landing. But if the plane crash, the pilot will take over control of the plane. Likewise, if the trend is considered much too strong in a particular direction (the opposite direction of where you are), you can do hedging, or to close the position. But should the decision to hedge is based on logical analysis, instead of to fears or panic.

4. Capital is too small


If you do not have sufficient investable funds, do forex trading. You can not expect capital of $ 200 you can give a profit of $ 200/bulan, so you can retire from your job. Rational profit was about 100% a year with a risk that is "reasonable". And you need a $ 300 - $ 500 to trade 0.01 lot with a risk that is "reasonable" is. If you do not have a budget invest that much, so look for another job to raise capital. Zulutrade or other systems (the minimum tradenya 0.01 lot) is not for you that has a capital of only $ 100.

With funding of $ 100, you'll want to consider PAMM than autotrading.

5. Does not account for commissions


If your broker charge 2 pips and your SP rata2 8 pips profit per trade. Then the commission will be worth 25%. If SP 100X and you follow trade 0.1 lot. Assuming a 80x profit 10 pips = 800 pips and 20x loss 20 pips = 400 pips, then your net profit is 400 pips, and the commission is 200 pips, aka half of your profits. Look for systems / broker as cheaply as possible, if necessary, its free!

That's all! Do not let trivial mistakes like this makes you much less loss MC

The Reasons For Becoming A Forex Traders



Foreign currency exchange market investors are currently offering many advantages. So many
forex traders scattered everywhere throughout this hemisphere. Not without reason, myself included them and also (in the future perhaps you) would have to have at least 5 reasons why we want to become world currency trader.

A Market Is Never Close


Many of the trading market in the world, located at the site and continue to operate within strict trading hours, often limited to only five or six hours a day between Monday and Friday .. However, the Forex market is open 24 hours a day.

This means that the merchant does not only take advantage of international events, but they also have the ability to set their own trading hours. If you prefer to work in the morning because it has a particular job, it does not matter, you can trade forex in the evening. Or vice versa. You can trade forex in the day when you have a busy work at night. Bottom line, you can choose to trade day, late at night or even in the middle of the night if you want.

Low Cost Trading


In many markets, like the stock market, traders do not only need to pay the spread (the difference between the buy and sell price of the stock), but also have to pay a commission to the broker the commission is usually small trades can be around $ 20 and this can be increased rapidly to more from $ 100 for a larger trade.

Since the foreign currency exchange market is an electronic market entirely eliminated many traditional trade costs and you can maximize your trading capital. Capital may adjust your economic circumstances. But the broker has set up a micro account and standard account. Where to micro account for you which is relatively small in the ability to invest in the forex accounts (ie under $ 100). While the standard account over it or use substantial funds. In addition, the highly liquid (liquid) from the global currency exchange market. So can profit easily thawed and directly transferred to the account belongs to us (LOCAL BANK).

Ability To Trade On High Leverage


In most of the markets in which a trader has the opportunity to trade on leverage offered is often very low. In the case of the stock market, for example, equity professional day traders will typically operate at about ten times leverage their capital. In the Forex market the contrary it is quite common to find that traders are permitted to trade one hundred and two hundred times their capital.

A downside of high leverage is that it can certainly lead to high losses and high profits. However, the foreign currency market, risk management so tightly controlled.

Real Time


Currency trading transactions immediately executed in real-time by using the price at which the company will buy or sell the currency quoted. In almost all cases, this means that the price you see and the price you pay is the same.

It is not often the case in other markets where there are quite often put a delay between the command and the command was executed during which time the price will often move against you.

Two Opportunities To Profit


Equity markets go up and down following the trend (cycling between Bull and Bear markets), but cycling the Forex market does not experience this from the structural bias in the market.

World currency trading always involves two currencies, so if you are disappointed in one currency then you go up on the other side. Therefore there is always the potential to make a profit whether the market goes up or down.

We can gain an advantage in trade, whether the market is up or going down. His way is by analyzing a currency pair which will naek or down, and take the difference of his trade.
If you believe the currency will be stronger (up) please make buy position, and wait for the price to rise, do closed (sell) when the currency exceeds the price of your purchase before.

If you believe the currency will weaken (down) do sell position, wait for price drops, do closed (buy) when the currency was under selling price you earlier.

As the example is this:
Opening of Euro 1.1750 / 1.1753, the euro will analyze your kid into position 1.1770/1.1767, then open a position when the price buy it (then you buy at position 1.1753), and when the position changed to 1.1770/1.1773, do the closed position / sell currency (in the position 1.1770)
Then you can profit in two occasions.
