What is traded on the market of forex?


The instrument traded by tradesmen of Forex and the investors are pairs of currency. A pair of currency is the foreign exchange rate of a currency above the others. The most traded pairs of currency are:

Each pair of currency is expressed in units of against necessary currency to obtain a unit of the low currency.
If the price or the quotation of the EUR/USD is 1.2545, it means that 1.2545 US dollar Is necessary to obtain a EUR.



Offer/ask the diffusion


All the pairs of currency are generally quoted with an offer and require the price. The offer (always lower than the demand) is the price than your broker is been willing to buy with, thus the tradesman should be sold at this price. The demand is the price which your broker is been willing to be sold with, thus the tradesman should buy at this price.



EUR/USD 1.2545/48 or 1.2545/8
The price of tender offered is 1.2545
The price of demand is 1.2548

Trade of margin (power)


Contrary to other financial markets where you need the full deposit of the traded quantity, on the market of forex you need only one deposit of margin. One will grant the rest by your broker.



The power provided by some brokers goes up to 400: 1. This means that you require only of 1/400 or of .25% in balance to open a position (more profits/losses of undulation.) The majority of the brokers offer the 100:1, where each tradesman requires of 1% in balance to open a position.



The size of standard fate on the market of forex is of $100.000 USD.



For example, a tradesman wants to obtain length a fate in EUR/USD and him or it employs the power of 100:1.



To open such a position, him or it requires of 1% in balance or $1.000 USD.

Call for additional cover


A call for additional cover occurs when the balance of the account of trade falls below the margin maintenance (capital required to open a position, 1% when the power used is 100:1, 2% when the power used is the 50:1, and so on.) At this time, the broker liquidates (or of the repurchases in the case of the bear positions) all your trade, leaving the tradesman �theoretically� with the margin of maintenance.



Generally the calls for additional cover occur when the management of fortunes is not correctly applied.

The real quotation for book is 1.8524/27, diffusion of 4 pips. Our tradesman reaches 1.8530 a long time (ask). Before the market obtains or with our target (called the order of benefit of catch) or our point of risk (called level of stop loss) we will have to sell it with the price of tender offered (the price our broker is laid out to buy our back of position.) In order to make 40 pips, our level of benefit of catch should be placed at 1.8590 (the price of tender offered.) If our target obtains the blow, the market ran 64 pips (60 pips plus the diffusion of 4 pips.) If our level of stop loss is struck, the market ran 30 pips against us.
