Top Ten Basic Terms in Forex Trading and Their Definitions

Forex refers to the foreign currency exchange market, the world’s largest financial trading market. Some terms that help a person understand Forex trading include:

Bid – to buy

Ask – to sell

Liquidity – financial ease of transaction, i.e. cash

Trading volume – the amount traded

Bid/ask spread – the difference between the proposed buying price and the actual selling price

OTC – over the counter

Exchange rate – the difference between currency values; for instance, a Canadian dollar is valued at .86 of a US dollar

Hedge funds – large mutual funds companies that control vast amounts of money and are able to manipulate the value of a currency through speculation

Central bank – the national bank of a nation, which usually exerts control over the value of that currency

Forex trading is in essence the investment in the currency of one country. Large international corporations that do business in many nations find value in keeping their cash reserves in a variety of nations, and holding their funds in a variety of ways. For example, a US company may have a percentage of its working capital in US dollars, but if it does quite a bit of business in Europe may also find it beneficial to keep a percentage of its money in Euros, in European banks. Many individual investors over the years have discovered that there is profit to be made in investment and speculation in the currency or forex markets.

As an example, during the 1970’s the German deutchmark was changing rapidly in value. It was worth anywhere from 1.7 marks to the US dollar to 2.5 US marks to the dollar. When the mark was worth 2.5 it was beneficial to spend dollars buying marks, since the mark would buy more goods or services at that rate. When the mark was only worth 1.7 to the dollar there was less incentive.

The forex market itself is not unified. There are many small forex markets specializing in trading various currencies. The most commonly traded currencies in forex trading are the US dollar, the Australian dollar, the British pound sterling, the Japanese yen, and the European Euro. The values of these currencies will vary depending on the market in which an investor is looking, so there is really no such thing as a single, unified dollar rate, but instead there are several dollar rates, which are different according to the market where the trade is occurring. The major cities in which trades occur are London, New York and Tokyo. This covers a 24 hour clock. When Asian trading ends, European trading beings, and when European trading ends, then American trading opens. Of course when American trading ends, it is time for Asian trading to open again, and so on.

The most commonly traded currency is the US dollar, involved in 89% of all trades. This is followed by the Euro involved in 37% of all trades, then by the yen in 20% and the pound in 17%. The fastest rising currency in trade is the Euro, but the US dollar is still widely considered the anchor point, and the currency to watch to judge how others will react. Differences in value of currencies come form the daily news. Changes n gross domestic product growth, in inflation, interest rates, budget and tirade deficits, surpluses and other economic conditions will cause changes in currency values. Investors and traders for this reason follow the news very closely. In fact, there are 24 hour cable news channels and many web sites devoted to news of value to currency traders.

It wasn’t long ago that the nation of Iran removed its currency from European investment banks. In anticipation of rising world tensions they removed their currency to become less vulnerable to freezing of their assets and to economic warfare, of which forex trading could be a part. The forex market is very susceptible to rumors. In fact the central banks of some countries have at times manipulated the value of their currency by spreading rumors about hikes in interest rates and other economic news that could have an impact on the value of the currency. When this news is false it is called a dirty float.

I used goforextrade.com as a site for blogging forex news and related interest items targeted originally for those who are into trading forex. As you and I both know, Forex is a hot industry in affiliate marketing as well as blogging.

Right now, I do not have the time to mess around with forex blogs and I am looking to go onto other things with affiliate marketing and the like. Forex is still profitable and for the price of $1,000, all you need to do is make $87.50 per month from the site and you have the site paid off in a year!!!

Some affiliate marketers can have that paid off in a month or even less!

BIN: $1000
Traffic: 50-100 uniques a day
Backlinks: about 1,000
Monetization Strategy: Clickbank and Adsense

How old is the site?
The site is nearly 2 1/2 years old.

Was it originally yours?
Yes. I created goforextrade.com

Did you buy this site?
Nope. I purchased the domain and created the website.

Why are you selling it if so?
Changing into other vertical markets. I had my fun with Forex marketing and looking for something new. Forex is still VERY profitable on monetizing on many different levels.

How much traffic do you get?
Even though I stopped blogging on the site a while back, and now the site just posts amazon links for forex books, I would say 50-100 uniques on average a day. Targeted traffic would be great for selling clickbank or other high end commissionable products.

How much traffic do you get from the US?
Not sure. I can look this up though. Being that Forex is a world-wide product instead of just a local geotargeted niche, you can monetize from anywhere as long as they trade forex.

What scripts is it running?
Right now we are running on the most recent version of WordPress, which comes with the site along with all the content, theme and plugins

Do I need a license for these scripts?
No, as all scripts are GPL or other open formats.

Do I need to install GD Library, MySQL, Image Magick, etc?
Most CPanel enabled hosting solutions have what is needed for this site.

Is it your script?
Nothing I have created.

Will I have full copyright to the scripts and content if I buy it?
Absolutely you will have full access and privilege to all scripts and content.

Is this content unique?
Yes with maybe the exception of Amazon blog posts, yes.

How much does your hosting cost?
I am on an unlimited VPS, which hosts about a bazillion other sites, so the hosting costs are very minimal.

How much resources does it use?
Not a ton of resources. It is just a php/mysql ran blog site with a few forex product landers.

What’s the income?
Right now, it is near nothing, only because I have not actively blogged product reviews or any content in the last few months.

What’s the income for the past 4 months?
here and there, roughly $100 a month.

What ad networks do you use?
Right now, just Google adsense. No CPA networks or other affiliate networks at this time.

Do you have a Google Adsene account? Where you banned?
Yes, but I am not banned!

Will you help me set it up?
I absolutely will help you set up the website! I will completely guide you through the install process and any questions you have overall!

Let me know if you have any questions! I am entertaining offers. Give me your best shot!!!

No extraneous claims here, no passionate pleas to waste your hard earned monies on forex scams, but I happened to see this product and started to read various reviews and noticed something that most of the forex systems out there didn’t have: A REAL PERSON THAT ACTUALLY VOUCHES FOR THEIR SOFTWARE!!! Matter in fact there was two people of interest. John Grace and Albert Perrie have a combined repertoire of over 30 years trading the forex market.

The interesting scenario with the Forex Megadroid though is more interesting then just the personas who developed the system. A newer technology called RCTPA. RCTPA stands for Reverse Correlated Time and Price Analysis. Of course you can just say “Oh BIG WHOOP, It just looks back for a period’s peaks and trough’s and pulls a few fibonacci trades.” Shockingly, the Forex Megadroid is not really a Fibonacci range trader or a lagging oscillator cross trade mechanism either. Can we say it is a neural network of some sort? Nope, not that either!

SO WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT? Reverse Correlated Time and Price Analysis, the robot is programmed to simulate a price action pattern based on potential weight of previous events and predicting future trends and movements with a staggering %95.2 PERCENT accuracy.

Unlike the stock market, forex trading has no central exchange. With forex, you can make a profit whether the market is up or down vs. only making money when the stock market is on the rise. By taking the long or buy position with a pair of currencies, the forex trader buys at one price and sells when it reaches a higher price. The other option for the forex trader is to go short by selling currencies, anticipating depreciation, and then buying back when the value falls. The forex trader can pick either direction, long or short, and if correct, he or she will generate a profit. You can also build up a certain point (limit order) based on the amount of profit you want to earn to limit the order. In the same essence, you can terminate or close an order to liquidate if the trading position is going against you.

In general, the strength of a country’s economy determines the value of its currency. Other factors to take into consideration in forex trading are the political and social status of the country, interest and employment rates, and the overall stability of its government. You will learn to see patterns or trends as you become more familiar with the in’s and out’s of forex trading.

The Forex market is a 24-hour trading place, Sunday through Friday, giving you the option of trading at any time of the day or night. Unlike the stock market, it doesn’t close with the ringing of the bell. Forex online firms provide demos, guidance, and market news for the beginning investor. You can practice your skills in forex trading before actually investing real capital. Once you’ve learned the fundamentals of trading, a minimum investment is made, sometimes as low as $200.00. These “mini and micro trading” accounts are a good way to begin forex trading and often there is no commission attached to your trading. You do not have to be a seasoned market analyst or economical genius to learn, enjoy, and make money with currency trading.
