These results display high/lows within the Forex stocks. Moreover, you see divergences within the market that sometimes transverse over lines at subzero levels.

Forex charts signal investors sent from indicators. This is what you read out to decide on the best pair of currencies. Currencies may be EUR/USD…EUR is the Europe dollar, which has higher value currently than the United States Dollar. Thus, this is when you want to bid EUR/USD rather than USD/EUR.

Japan and other foreign legions also have their own currency, which pairs with the US Dollar, or the Euro dollar. For the most part, when one-currency pairs with another you want to choose the currency first that has the highest value, which in this instance is the EUR/USD.

Does anyone of you have an idea on which currency pairs are the best to trade in forex? Is it the major currency pairs, the cross pairs or the exotic pairs? Well there isn’t really a right and wrong answer; it depends on how you define ‘best’. If a currency pair has tight spreads, it may be considered the best trading currency pair for you, but may not apply for others. So now we’ll discuss on various factors on choosing a forex pair:

1. Spreads – There is always an advantage to trade currency pairs that have a tight spread in forex trading. It means that lesser spreads equal to more profit, lesser spreads give you more room for price fluctuation if you have a tight stop loss and lesser spreads may help you to breakeven your forex trade earlier. Does that make sense to you? EUR/USD has the tightest spread of 2 to 3 pips for most forex brokers and even 1 pip for some brokers, while GBP/JPY has spread of 6 to 10 pips. For some forex traders who care a lot on spreads, he will certainly choose the formal over the latter.

2. Trendiness – For chartist traders like me, I depend mostly on technical indicators to help me decide which forex currency pair to trade. Although volatility is considered good, but it is then more risky and need a wider range of stop loss. e.g. is GBP/USD. On my forex trading screen, I have 7 to 8 currency pairs in smaller windows, so that I’m able to decide which pair is the trendiest, even when all pairs seem to have a trend. Though EUR/USD and USD/CHF is negatively correlated 90% of the time, you will sometimes find either of the pairs trending better than the other. Therefore you will want to choose the more trendy pair to trade with the help of some forex technical indicators.

3. Trading Sessions – The best time to trade forex is when the market is the most active and therefore has the biggest volume of trades. During Asian hours when Tokyo opens, the better trading time is from 7PM EST to 10PM EST. But since not all the currency pairs are actively moving, you may want to trade AUD/USD as it starts to move during the stated timing. When London market opens, this is where you can trade almost all the currency pairs. I will trade from 3AM EST to 6AM EST depending on the trendiness of the pair; example is GBP/USD, EUR/USD etc. Another trading session which will experience high volatility is from 8AM EST to 12PM EST where both the London and U.S. markets are open at the same time.

After looking at the above factors, do you think there is a right and wrong answer on choosing the best forex currency pair? I doubt so. As long as you are using a reliable forex trading system to help you, all currency pairs can be profitable. To know more on the behavior of the currency pairs, you can find it in my FREE forex ebook with a forex trading system that can help you generate profits consistently.

A question many unseasoned forex traders ask about is about forex trading times: When Is The Best Time To Trade Forex? Unlike other markets the forex market trades 24/7 (Actually 24/5). The forex market opens for trade Sunday night (5 PM EST) and closes for businessagain on Friday afternoon (4 PM EST). When the Asian market is closing, the European market opens, then the US market until the Asian market opens again.

So this means to you that you as a forex trader has total freedom on when to trade.

Not all trading times are equally profitable for forex trading.

So the question you are going to ask is probably: When to trade?

We are going to try to answer that question.

Asian Session (Tokyo) (7PM : 4AM EST):

The Asian forex trading session begins at 7 PM EST (12 AM GMT) and closes at 4 AM EST (9 PM GMT). In this forex trading times the most commonly traded currencies are GBP/JPY, GBP/CHF and USD/JPY. These currency crosses can fluctuate 110 pips.

U.S. Session (New York) (8 AM : 5 PM EST):

The US session kicks of at 8 AM EST and closes at 5PM EST. The US is a moderate to highly volatile session, because of its interaction on other markets such as the Stock or Bond market. The most traded currency pairs during these forex trading times arethis session: GBP/USD, GBP/JPY and USD/JPY which fluctuate around 95 pips. There is also trading in USD/EUR and USD/CAD.

European Session (London) (2 AM : 12 PM EST)

London is the the most important and influential trading center at a market share higher than 30%. The bulk of all Forex trades in the market are executed out in these forex trading times because of the  liquidity and efficiency of the market.

All major currency pairs are traded during this session. For risk loving traders the GBP/JPY and GBP/CHF have very high fluctuations of up to and even surpassing 140 pips.

First what is Forex: The FOREX or Foreign Exchange market is the largest financial market in the world, with an volume of more than $1.5 trillion daily, dealing in currencies. Unlike other financial markets, the Forex market has no physical location, no central exchange. It operates through an electronic network of banks, corporations and individuals trading one currency for another.

The Forex, or foreign currency exchange, is all about money. Money from all over the world is bought, sold and traded. On the Forex, anyone can buy and sell currency and with possibly come out ahead in the end. When dealing with the foreign currency exchange, it is possible to buy the currency of one country, sell it and make a profit. For example, a broker might buy a Japanese yen when the yen to dollar ratio increases, then sell the yens and buy back American dollars for a profit.

Prices of currency are influenced by a number of factors such as political and economic conditions in the issuing country. Interest rates, inflation and political stability are all factors in the prices of a currency. Governments try to control their currency prices by lowering the price (flooding the market), or by raising the price and buying on a large-scale. Although the volume of Forex is sizable, it’s still impossible to have any control of a market for any length time and because market forces normally prevail in the long run, Forex has become one of the fairest investment opportunities available.

Each currency in the Forex market is given its own three letter code that is used in the Forex quotes. The most common and widely used currencies used in the Forex market are USD (U.S. dollars), GBP (United Kingdom pounds), JPY (Japanese yen), CAD (Canadian dollars), EUR (European euros), AUD (Australian dollars) and CHF (Swiss francs). These currencies are the top foreign currencies to watch in the Forex trading game. The prices of the foreign currency exchanges are specified in pairs by the forex quotes. By using a currency pair of U.S. dollars and European euros in the example below, the first currency is called the base (which is always at 1) and the second currency is called the quote (which shows how much it costs to buy one unit of the USD, or base currency): USD/EUR = 0.8419. When reversed, this is the cost of USD to buy one euro: EUR/USD = 1.1882.

The base currency is growing stronger when the price of the quote currency goes up, therefore only one unit of the base currency can buy more of the quote currency. However, if the quote currency begins to fall then the base currency will become weaker. All forex quotes are perceived as a “ask” or a “bid” price. The ask price is what sellers will sell the base currency at, while at the same time be buying the quote currency. The bid price is what the buyers will pay for the base currency, also while selling the quote currency. For example, a symbol bid ask of:USD/CAD 1.2392 1.2397. This shows that you can buy one U.S. dollar for 1.2397 Canadian dollars, or you can also sell one U.S. dollar for 1.2392 Canadian dollars. You can find the exchange rates in cross country charts that list numerous types of currencies with their values against one another. There are also currency conversion calculators, all of which are readily available online.

Along with the U.S. dollar, United Kingdom pound, Japanese yen, Canadian dollars, European euros, Australian dollars and Swiss francs as some of the top currencies to watch in the forex trading game; some new currencies have been emerging. Be sure to keep an eye out on these emerging currencies: CNY (China yuan), CZK (Czech koruna), HKD (Hong Kong dollar), HUF (Hungarian Forint), INR (Indian Rupee), KRW (Korean Won), MXN (Mexican Peso), PLN (Polish Zloty), SGD (Singapore dollar), ZAR (South African Rand), and THB (Thai Baht). These currencies may not be one of the top currencies now, but they can make for some good investments. Taking two examples out of all of the emerging currencies:

The Czech koruna is a convertible, yet free floating currency that has been floating around since May 1997. All foreign investors have unrestricted access to these local markets. London banks continue to be very active in currency trading and accounts for nearly 60% of the daily turnover. This market is liquid for about five years. The Interest Rate Swaps, or the IRS, is mainly driven by offshore banks.

The China yuan is only limited to financial institutions and onshore companies and is not liquid. Currently the USD/CNY rate is about 8.2770 and is being closely managed by the central bank (PBOC). The Chinese government has resisted all calls for them to revalue their currency; but as the Chinese government continues to strengthen their banking systems and make reforms in their economic policies, there is likely to be a possible call for opening spot trading. The interbank money market does not go beyond four months.

Knowing the top currencies to watch in Forex trading will get you in the game.

It is called a pip and its value is the equivalent of 0.0001 of a dollar, in most currency pairs, and it is the smallest increment on the Forex market. A pip in the Japanese Yen is 0.01. Now you might find yourself wondering what the Forex market actually is and why anyone would possibly think chasing pips was ever going to be a profitable endeavor. However, with almost $2 trillion dollars being exchanged on the Forex each and every day it is open (from Sunday through Friday, the market trades 24 hours a day), those pips can quickly add up to big profits-or big losses-really quick. This makes it one of the most exciting, volatile, and engaging markets in the investment world.

So what exactly is the Forex anyway? Well, the Forex is just a big market where corporations, nations, and investors can exchange money. For instance, if an American corporation wanted to fund their payroll account for an office in Paris, they would need to convert U.S. dollars into Euros. However, one U.S. dollar does not equal a Euro.

To convert the money, the business would need to buy Euros with dollars on the Forex. The USD/EUR currency pair is what the company would need to buy in order to raise the money for payroll. A typical transaction on the Forex is called a lot and is $100,000 and the USD is behind 90% of all trades on this volatile market. So, if the currency pair was valued at 1.2500USD, that means that the business would receive 80,000 Euros for every $100,000 lot of the USD/EUR currency pair at that exchange rate.

Now remember those pips? Although a pip is a very small number, the sheer size of the lot means that a 1 pip movement equals $10 ($100,000 X .0001). Thus, an investor can get in and out of a position very quickly if the price fluctuates by only a few pips and still make a profit (Forex scalping). It is very possible for a Forex trader to double their investment in a very short period of time-but they can lose it just as easily!

Until recently, retail Forex investors did not exist. Because of the size of the transactions, traders on the Forex used to be limited to large investment firms, central banks, etc. Now, however, a Forex investor can typically secure a position for as little as $1,000 (or 1/100th of the total transaction amount). However, because there are always interest charges associated with any leveraged position, that means that an investor can quickly lose their capital if things swing the wrong way.

Of course, no one has a crystal ball and can predict the future but Forex traders use a number of strategies to help them determine when to exit and enter positions. While profit potential is unlimited, stops are typically placed on orders to prevent unacceptable losses. No matter what investment strategy you choose to use when trading on the Forex-it is very wise to place stops on every order because the volatility of the market can sap a highly leveraged account very quickly.

Trading currencies on the Forex is so popular because the action is non-stop and the opportunity for profit is unlimited. However, because of the margins and volatility of the market itself, the Forex can make or break an investor quickly. New investors are highly encouraged to start out with mock accounts or even mini-lots ($10,000) in order to learn the market better before jumping in with both feet.

A force to go back and forth between France and the U.S. after having lived 6 months there, I found myself a little in spite of me to arbitrate between Euros and Dollars. Sometimes I needed to pay my bills in U.S. dollars when I had the money to my account in Euros € and vice versa

The first time I just made transfers between my accounts noting that the exchange rate for EUR / USD had increased or decreased compared to last time. Sometimes to my advantage, sometimes to my disadvantage …

And then one day I started to make a transfer and I was interrupted by a phone call. (When you are in the U.S. and we call you at times impossible from France – jetlag forces – generally you answer without thinking;)) I have finally completed the transfer until the next day … and I found 24 hours in the exchange rate was increased from 1.29 to 1.26 $ for 1 €. 2.4% change …

By doing a little more attention I realized that this variation was not extraordinary and that the current USD / EUR frequently varied significantly, sometimes upward, sometimes downward.

I then installed an application for monitoring foreign exchange on my iphone and I started watching the EUR / USD several times a day. Within the same day it goes up and down it all the time …

Then you say, the stock market is such, that it goes up and down all the time … yes … but I have the impression that the exchange rates is even more … yoyo ( “volatile” one says; ))

There’s actually a market for currency called the FOREX (Foreign Exchange) and is hyperactive (1 900 billion U.S. dollars traded per day in 2004 according to Wikipedia!) And without really achieve at whenever I was arbitration USD to EUR or otherwise, my bank passed an order on the FOREX – or maybe they do their internal Tambouille to a certain amount … but it is still that, a few hours ( minutes?) sooner or later it could make a significant difference …

I now come to tell me that I should spend my orders on Forex “myself” “live” … and I have no illusions about the “live myself,” what I mean is “computer” and “real time” without leaving the banker decide the right time (for him) or the wrong time (for me)!

In looking around I realize that there is an incredible jumble of offerings in the area and that everyone wants to sell you a trick to get you in forex trading … it’s rather confusing … but I think I’ll watch it more closely …

If you are properly trained and and implement that training successfully, Forex trading can be a very lucrative and exciting business for anyone.  On the trader’s part, Forex trading requires hard work and discipline.  But anything that is worth doing or having takes hard work.  But, online currency trading is indeed an excellent opportunity for small and large investors alike to make profits in this business.  Although somewhat risky, the payouts can be quite large if enough attention is paid to detail.

For most individuals, they start out with a few hundred dollars invested, and soon lose all their money.  This is due to the lack of knowledge and understanding of the forex market and proper implementation of the strategies on a demo account, before they in fact go live and put their money on the line for real.

If you ware new to currency trading online and are a bit confused, it is the simultaneous buying and selling of currency or currencies of major countries traded online.  You buy one type of currency in a market and then sell it to another, where that currency is at the time worth less than the type of currency you have.  If you have 200 EUR and the USD:EUR ratio is 2:1, and you sell that 200 EUR, you will get $400 USD.  But, how much do forex traders make?  How much forex traders make depends on two things.  The first is, how much trading capital is involved and how much of lot size  is used per trade.  If you are only trading with $50, you can’t expect to make the type of huge profits that other people are making.  It is recommended that you start trading with about $500 in your account.  The second is the lot size.  Profits depend on the different lot sizes.  You do have to be wary because trading with large lot sizes on a small account is dangerous and a good way to lose all your money.  A sound practice is to carry out good money management.
