An Inpact Of Big Capitals On Forex Market

Tuesday, September 7th, 2010

It is clear that in Forex Market both profit value and the ability to direct the price movements depend on the size of the funds. Banks have the highest influence on the market as they trade with the biggest amounts and can deliberately change the price of the currency in order to support the macro economy of a country or just make a good profit. An average online trader, even with a relatively big capital cannot direct the market to the certain direction. Even the biggest members in Forex are not able to take a full control of the price movements. A big fight takes place on the Asian markets for such currencies as USD/JPY, EUR/JPY. On the one hand many Singapore Forex traders use this phenomenon in order to increase their investments, but on the other hand it is a very risky trading. The fact is that technical analysis of Forex market cannot predict news which for a short time can change the price for 100 pips and lead to the opposite direction.

At certain hours of a day Foreign Exchange market becomes very calm and even freezes because of the breaks in the main trading centers in the world. When trading opens in USA it is the most unpredictable time in the market in terms of technical analysis. When staying in the market alone, US banks can urge big price movements for up to 1000 pips. They aim to push the price to the levels of massive stop-losses of the traders who opened positions in the opposite direction. If they succeed, the total closure of the positions radically changes the direction of the market. This process brings high profits in a short period of time. If you study the market, you can notice these tricks and may use them for enlargement of your own capital.

The international financial markets attract a concentrated attention of the entire world and each piece of news has its own movements in currencies’ rates on the Forex market. Experienced Forex traders know the presidents of the major banks by their names because any word from their speech may cause big changes of a price. We cannot neglect the fundamental analysis of Forex market. Today any trading platform gives its traders a news strip of the most recent financial events. And on the websites of all Singapore brokers you can find a economic calendar which presents the time of the main news releases. You can make a trading strategy based on the events or simply close a trading position before the release of the most important of them. In any case, every Singapore trader must take into his consideration such issues as time of trading, news and noise of the market.

Recommended Online Trading Technique

Monday, August 9th, 2010

When trading in currency market it is recommended to pick up a certain time frame of a Forex graph and trade according to it only. Experienced traders use the time frames of 4 hours, 24 hours or 1 week. There are certain advantages and disadvantages for the high time frames. The bigger is your time frame, the more funds you have to deposit to your trading account because each trading position requires higher margin. But at the same moment you have the opportunity to make higher income. The market’s situation is more predictable for higher time frames but it may take you few days to find a good opportunity to start a trade. In this article we would like to share a strategy of trading in 4 hours time frame using the candle stick graphs that can be found at all Singapore brokers

Pay attention that trading with 4 hours candle stick charts requires a lot of patience and time. It may take you few days to find a good situation to enter the market and also from 12 hours to 5 days to keep a trading position. This system is based on the trends that sometimes happen in the Singapore Forex market. The goal is to open a trade in the beginning of the trend and close a trade in the end of the trend. Following this strategy a trader must analyze the market and his open trades every 4 hours after the last candle in the 4 hours chart is finished.

When analyzing the market it is recommended to check the prices for the specific currency pairs for 4-5 days back on a 4 hours candle stick chart in order to find out if there were some trends before or there is an opportunity for a potentially good downward or upward trend coming. The decision of opening or closing a trading position may be taken only every 4 hours when the last candle is finished and a new one has begun.

If you see that the last three candles show that the price is going up, this is a good signal to open a buy position. If at least 2 last candles go down, this is a signal for a potential downward trend and you can make a sell position. In order to diminish possible losses you can use such orders as take profit and stop loss. You can place a take profit order after 120 pips in case if the prices between the opening and closing of the market did not surpass 80 pips for the last five trading days. If the prices went over 80 pips for the last 5 days, you can set up the take profit order after 240 points.

We wish all traders good luck and invite them to share their feedbacks of Forex trading in Singapore.
