ForexGen Analysis of US Dollar/ Pound And Sterling/ Euro

ForexGen provides its clients with a full explained market analysis, fundamental or technical. ForexGen news centre could be your guide in making your calculations and forecasts for the coming period, and helps in analyzing fundamentals.

US Dollar regained strength while the Pound levelled off

As for the markets, well the main news was the huge losses declared by Lehman Brothers which served to explain the ‘insolvency’ rumours that were circulating a week ago. That weakened the US Dollar initially but the rest of the story was a restructuring at Lehman’s and a disposal of property ‘assets’ although you could be forgiven for thinking the term ‘property asset’ is an oxymoron these days. Nevertheless, that news calmed the market and the US Dollar regained strength while the Pound levelled off.

Sterling makes gains against the Euro

Sterling did make gains against the Euro throughout yesterday as the slowdown in Europe gathered pace and gained credibility with the European Union itself slashing the EU growth forecasts. There is a chance that the Pound could make further gains against the Euro and €1.26 has been cited as a reasonable target which we’d recommend as a target for Euro buyers.

And then all hell broke loose as the Reserve Bank of New Zealand cut its base lending rate by 50 basis points and the Pound gained further strength; this time against the Kiwi Dollar. That is covered in more detail below.

ForexGen | Candlestick Chart Terms

Candlestick chart patterns are very popular in forex trading because they are the main part of technical analysis. On all chart modules, users can toggle between line, bar and candlestick chart view.
The candle consists of two parts: the body and the shadows. The body reflects the open and closing price for the certain period.
The candle body is black if the close price below the open, and white if the close was higher than the open for the period.
The candlestick shadow reflects the intra-period high and low prices.
(Note: In candlestick charting the following periods are often used; 5 min, 15 min, 1 hour, daily and weekly).
Long shadows, show that the trading extended well beyond the opening and/or closing price, while short shadows, show that trading was confined closely to the open and/or closing price.

Forex Risk Factors




One of the first things most traders hear when they begin their forex journey is the fact that forex trading is risky. Many new traders choose to pay little attention to all the risk warnings and continue. I was personally the same at the beginning because I so eager to get started!
It is very important to fully understand the forex risk factors as to be a successful forex trader, you need to know how best to minimize them.



Perhaps the single biggest risk factor in forex trading is the use of too much leverage! I have spoken to many traders who start trading with as little as $100 on a mini forex account. I always encourage these traders not to do it and to learn more about proper risk management. $100 with a mini account will almost always have just one single outcome, a margin call.



Let’s look at why this is. If you have 100:1 leverage from your broker to open a GBP/USD position for 1 minilot is going to cost $10 in margin. This would leave $90 for trading. With a 1 mini lot GBP/USD position each pip is worth $1. This would mean that only a 90 pip movement in the wrong direction would mean result in a margin call. Also, in these 90 pips, the spread would need to be included.



GBP/USD often moves more than 90 pips in a single day.
So there we have it, one of the single biggest risks in forex trading for new traders is the overuse of leverage.



Let’s now look at some of the other risks in forex trading.



When trading forex it’s important to realize that no matter how sure you are the market will move in the way you expect, anything can happen, at any moment in time. A good example of this was when the US Government made it common knowledge that they were going to bail out Fannie Mai and Freddie Mac, the dollar appreciated considerably.


If you had an intra short on the dollar, you would not have been best pleased. This example simply illustrates that many major factors that move the market can be completed unexpected. If you can prepare your strategy to take into consideration unforeseen events, you can lower your risk. One option is to use stop losses to make sure you are always prepared for unforeseen events that could potentially move the market in a big way.



Another important thing we can do is to practice our strategies and systems thoroughly on a demo account before trading them on a live account.



In conclusion, no matter how you look at the forex risk factors, they are there and they are considerable. To be a successful trader, it important to fully understand and do everything possible to keep risk to a minimum at all times.

Currency Day Trading Examples

With the information we have covered so far, let's show a few examples of how much money can be made (or lost!) daily by trading currencies.
Example
trader thinks the euro will gain value versus the dollar (EUR/USD is at 1.2150)
Let's say that the price of the euro-dollar pair is 1.2150 and a day trader, based on his strategy, gets a signal that the euro is going to continue to go up.
The trader buys 100,000 EUR (1 lot) at 1.2155 (121,550 USD).
If the trader's margin requirement is 2%, his margin deposit would be 2,000 Euros or 2,431 dollars.
The trader automatically sets a stop loss of 25 pips based on his technical trading strategy. As the trader expected, the EUR/USD goes up to 1.2225 (on paper, everything works!).
Assuming this meets the profit requirements of his day trading system, the trader sells the 100,000 Euros.
