Note : Do not just chase big bonus of the Forex Brokers , Fund safety is the most important thing .

- Pip : A pip is the smallest unit of movement of a currency pair which is commonly referred to as " points" . For example : EUR / USD 1.4113 last week and today's value rose to 1.4125 it means this pair increased by 12 Pips / Point .

- Leverage : This is more or less synonymous with " margin deposit" on the stock . Simply put , if we were to invest $ 500 then if the unit is subject to 1:100 leverage means that we are given the right by the broker to buy 100 x greater than the funds we have . This means that we can increase the quantity of the lot and used our margins shrink , while we are more available margin . Means the sum of $ 500 , we are given money to buy foreign currency equivalent of $ 50,000 . Now this is called the collateral margin or leverage . Each broker has a varying leverage . In this case , leverage means greater possibility of profit / loss becomes larger . Vice versa , a small leverage the losses that may occur with consequent smaller profit also becomes smaller . I myself prefer a little leverage because then the risk of loss is smaller . If I believe a deal will be profitable because there is a very strong analysis so I can raise my number of lots that will be traded .

- Contract Size : This is the amount of time factor in the calculation of profit and loss . Its value is fixed and predetermined .

- Lot : Lot is a unit of the contract on each transaction . When I trade , for example, buying EUR / USD then the value of the units in the lot .

- Margin Call : Margin Call can occur when the available margin is not sufficient anymore to sustain Loss floating , so the position will be automatically locked by the system . Margin Call is arguably a kind of Nightmare for traders , although some are thought can not be called a true and experienced traders that have never felt the margin call .

- Pair : In forex trading is known pair ( pair ) , the currency , for example EUR / USD , GBP / USD , USD / JPY , etc. . If I do buy / long , the currency pair EUR / USD , then I 'm actually buying the EUR and selling the USD . Likewise, the opposite applies . That is why in forex trading is not like buying and selling of goods . We do not have to have a currency pair to trade , we only need to do contract buy / sell the collateral margin .

- Take Profit : facilities order to automatically liquidate a position at a certain price when a trader has acquired a number of profit .

- Stop Loss : facilities order to automatically liquidate a position at a certain price to limit losses that might occur even worse if the market moves in the opposite direction or position trader may also serve to protect the profits that have been obtained , but the market experienced Rebounce .

- Trailing Stop : facilities provided through MetaTrader Forex Brokers , which can change the stop loss to lock in profits automatically in certain multiples . Trailing Stop is the development of a Stop Loss . Trailing Stop will function when the order has been getting more profit than a certain minimum value which has been determined by the broker ( eg minimum 200 pips / points ) . This facility is a local server . So when metatrader disabled Traling stop it will not work .

Opening a new business it takes too dedication of time, skill, seriousness, determination and perhaps talent. But learning from failure and experience is the best teacher.

* Property
One option is a relatively safe investment property, as long as there is no risk of political turmoil the house / land will never decrease in value. Also the potential return on investment in the form of increasing the selling value and rental yields over time. Investing in property requires a relatively large amount of funds and also long-term commitment, although it has a value that is constantly evolving, but the investment in this area has sufficient liquidity constraint is low due to the sale of the property takes a long time back.

Here is an example of a foreign exchange rate for the British pound against the U.S. dollar :

The first currency listed next is known as the base currency . GBP / USD for example , in this example , the British pound is the currency of the first , while the second one on the right is called the counter or quote currency is the U.S. dollar .

When buying , the exchange rate tells you how much to be paid in units of the quote currency to buy one unit of the base currency . In the example above , you must pay an amount of 1.51258 U.S. dollars to buy 1 British pound .

When selling , the exchange rate tells you how many units of the quote currency that can be sold for one unit of the base currency . In the example above , you will receive at 1.51258 U.S. dollars when you sell 1 British pound .

The base currency is the " foundation " to buy or sell . If you buy the EUR / USD this means you will buy the base currency and simultaneously selling the quote currency . In a simple conversation , " buy EUR , sell USD . "

The strategy , you would buy a currency pair believe that in the base currency will go up compared to the quote currency . And you will sell the currency pair if the base currency is believed to be depreciated / weakened ( loss of value ) to the quote currency .

If you do the transaction buy ( which actually means buy the base currency and sell the quote currency ) , you want the base currency to increase in value and then you would sell it back at a higher price . In speaking traders , this is called " Long " or taking a " long position " .

If you do sell transactions ( which means selling the base currency and buy the quote currency ) , you want the base currency fall in value and then you would buy back at a lower price . This is called "short " or taking a " short position " .

Bid / Ask

In the world of forex, there are two quotations: the bid and ask. Bid prices are usually lower than the ask price.

Bid Price is the price at which a broker is willing to buy the base currency in exchange for the quote currency. Bid Price is the best available price at which the trader will sell to the market.

Ask Price is the price at which a broker is willing to sell the base currency in exchange for the quote currency. Ask Price is the best price available in which a trader will buy from the market.

The difference between the Bid and Ask is known as the spread. For example, EUR / USD had a Bid price is 1.3456 and the ask price is 1.3458. So when you want to
sell EUR, you will sell at the price of 1.34568 euros. If you want to buy the EUR, the euro bought at the price of 1.34588.

In forex trading , currencies are always traded in pairs , known as currency pairs . There exist major pair commonly found in almost all brokers are EUR / USD , meaning the currency pair Euro and U.S. Dollar . There is also another currency that is not less popular : GBP / JPY , GBP / USD , USD / JPY , and of course many more .

As another example , a trader can " sell " the pair USD / JPY without " got " the first pair . Thus , traders are not directly selling the pair USD / JPY , which means a trader selling USD and buying JPY . The point in forex trading , we can directly conduct transactions on all pairs are available either selling or buying , depending on the results of our analysis to the movement of the pair .

Pips and Lots .

Next , the basic terms that need to be known in forex trading is the pip and lots. Pip is a unit change in the value of forex trading . Example : EUR / USD moves from 1.3050 to 1.3051 , it means that the price change (up ) 1 pip . A pip is the last decimal digit movement on a pair . Pip is also used to calculate profit and loss . While the lot is the usual amount of contracts traded . The default value is $ 100,000 per lot . Some brokers also provide a mini lot with a value of $ 10,000 . However, there are also brokers that offer flexibility in the volume of transactions without having in lots , but the quantity is flexible according to the trader wishes .

Spreads for EUR / USD when it is 2 pips .

Types of Transactions in Forex Trading

The following is a discussion of transactions in forex trading . Basically transactions we can do is to Buy and Sell pairs available . However Buy / Sell still has the option derivative .

There are 2 types of orders for each transaction that is :

Instant executions Order ( ato buy sell ) is performed at the current market price .

Order pending orders that will happen if you touch a certain price point ( or other word is the price of booking) .

Pending orders are divided into 4 types:

1 . Buy Stop : Installing a buy order at a certain price ( the price above is running ) , in the hope the price goes up , and the price will automatically run a buy order . The hope of course the price continues to move up again to make a profit .

2 . Sell ​​Stop : Installing a sell order at a certain price ( the price below is running ) , in the hope the price goes down , and in the price of the sell order will automatically run . Harpannya prices will continue to move down again to make a profit .

3 . Buy Limit : Install a buy order at a certain price ( the price below is running ) , in the hope the price goes down to the price . If the price we have set it touched , it automatically runs a buy order . Hopefully, after that the price then moves up or call it mental at that price .

4 . Sell ​​Limit : Install a sell order at a certain price ( the price below is running ) in the hope the price moves up to that price . If the price we have set it touched , it automatically runs a sell order . The hope, for after that the price will move down ( or mentally at that point ) in order to profit .

To determine when the best time Buy or Sell ? Buy at the best time is when the price is low and we expect going to go up , and Sell when prices are high and we expect going down . The concept is simple look . The problem then is : when we know that the price is going to go up ato down ? And how to determine whether the price will go down or up positive .

Understanding and Using Leverage

Initially when thinking that forex is an investment business , I was deep in thought " how much capital is needed ? " If the capital to earn a base , the greater your capital in forex , the better the chances to survive from floating negative and the opportunity to add positions more order . It turns out these days , no business with small capital that can generate large revenues except forex or other equity markets . There may be some truth in the phrase that says , " if you want to be a big fish , the bait should also big . " That's why , when I first heard about forex business , which is pictured in my mind is the amount of capital are in need to be successful in forex . Maybe for $ 1000 . It turns out I missed the perception , in the forex capital is a guarantee only. By using a careful calculation , capital $ 1,000 is included in the major forex . Unlike when we trade / entrepreneurial conventionally , of $ 1,000 is a very small nominal .

This is where the benefits of margin trading noticeably . Because of the margin trading , we can make transactions without having to have a capital of transactions that we do . Meanwhile, to execute transactions in forex , just to capitalize PC , internet connection and science / knowledge is simple forex you can learn for free , then we can do the transaction in any currency you like . So we can trade anytime and anywhere , as long as connected to the Internet .

Nowadays a lot of brokers do offer free for new traders who want to jump in forex without capital, due to intense competition in the industry forex brokers, each broker must be very clever promotion to get clients, one of which is "lent" or so-called capital welcome bonus. If we make trades through a broker, then the broker we intercede with the market and at the same time "giving bailout" for the transaction we do. And of course the capital free no side effects for you, the broker already has its own budget, it's just that there are some requirements so that you can get a welcome bonus. Do not worry because the condition only to confirm personal data, the rest is free. Interestingly, there are brokers who offer a welcome bonus of up to $ 50.

Then how the flow of the relationship between the trader and the broker? This goes back to the notion of leverage that we will discuss now. Well, when we register at a broker, we get an offer on the leverage that we will use. Some brokers allow clients to choose their own type of leverage, but there are also brokers who define only one leverage option for certain types of accounts. Preview leverage as follows: If the leverage is 100:1 assigned a broker, meaning we only had to use a fund of $ 1 to trade for $ 100. So if we have a fund deposit of $ 5 in the brokerage, $ 1 of capital we will be placed as margin used for the transaction of $ 100 which will put a halt to trading in the event of any analysis, while the remaining $ 4 into the margin. Thus, any losses we may experience from every transaction that we do will automatically reduce the remaining funds from which we place them.

The term "Margin Call" applies when the rest of our funds are available margin depleted by losses that we have experienced and we are automatically covered transactions (including closed). While the "Leverage" is often described as the volume leverage. That is, with leverage, then our ability to transact many times. Imagine, traders only need to provide a guarantee of $ 1 to make a deal for $ 100. That if the applicable leverage of 100:1. Many brokers that offer leverage of 500:1, even 1.000:1 Then we simply put $ 1 for transactions of $ 1,000.

But keep in mind, the greater the transactions that we do, the greater the risk of loss that we endure. With leverage, we as traders can get the maximum benefit and also the potential for greater losses.
