marketsvoice Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Forex Market Players Forex Market The Forex market is an international over-the-counter market (OTC). It means that it is a decentralized, self-regulated market with no central exchange or clearing house, unlike stocks and futures markets. This structure eliminates fees for exchange and clearing, thereby reducing transaction costs. The Forex OTC market is formed by different participants – with varying needs and interests – that trade directly with each other. These participants can be divided in two groups: the interbank market and the retail market. The Interbank Market The interbank market designates Forex transactions that occur between central banks, commercial banks and financial institutions. Central Banks - National central banks (such as the US Fed and the BCE) play an important role in the Forex market. As principal monetary authority, their role consists in achieving price stability and economic growth. To do so, they regulate the entire money supply in the economy by setting interest rates and reserve requirements. They also manage the country's foreign exchange reserves that they can use in order to influence market conditions and exchange rates. Commercial Banks - Commercial banks (such as Deutsche Bank and Barclays) provide liquidity to the Forex market due to the trading volume they handle every day. Some of this trading represents foreign currency conversions on behalf of customers' needs while some is carried out by the banks' proprietary trading desk for speculative purpose. Financial Institutions - Financial institutions such as money managers, investment funds, pension funds and brokerage companies trade foreign currencies as part of their obligations to seek the best investment opportunities for their clients. For example, a manager of an international equity portfolio will have to engage in currency trading in order to buy and sell foreign stocks. The Retail Market The retail market designates transactions made by smaller speculators and investors. These transactions are executed through Forex brokers who act as a mediator between the retail market and the interbank market. The participants of the retail market are hedge funds, corporations and individuals. Hedge Funds - Hedge funds are private investment funds that speculate in various assets classes using leverage. Macro Hedge Funds pursue trading opportunities in the Forex Market. They design and execute trades after conducting a macroeconomic analysis that reviews the challenges affecting a country and its currency. Due to their large amounts of liquidity and their aggressive strategies, they are a major contributor to the dynamic of Forex Market. Corporations - They represent the companies that are engaged in import/export activities with foreign counterparts. Their primary business requires them to purchase and sell foreign currencies in exchange for goods, exposing them to currency risks. Through the Forex market, they convert currencies and hedge themselves against future fluctuations. Individuals - Individual traders or investors trade Forex on their own capital in order to profit from speculation on future exchange rates. They mainly operate through Forex platforms that offer tight spreads, immediate execution and highly leveraged margin accounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flybiz08 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 The individuals constitute the retail end of forex trading. Making a comparison, it will be noticed that the retail arm of forex trading , in general, constitute a small percentage of the whole forex market. Traders try as much as possible to make it from here since the capitall requirement to open a trading account is small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famouspublisher Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Currency trading can be a very successful company and as opposed to the Inventory Industry, Currency trading can have 100% benefits with moderated danger. Always delay for a forex to come down to the smallest value possible. By enabling a forex to hit a very low value you improve the rate at which you will near the company with a revenue. When a forex is down in a history value, 99% of the periods it will go up and you can revenue nearly immediately. For example the EUR/USD smallest value was 1.17 and if it ever gets to that value again you should buy and then offer at 1.30 and get an crazy profit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tirus Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Learning is every thing in forex trading. Theirs two things that going to happen in forex. Either you Lose or you earn.

And that reason why its first letter in the world because that what is the most important thing. Once we remove the "L" in learning its going to be pure earning. I like the way that you put it because whether you make a success of forex trading depends very much on how much effort and commitment you put into the learning process. There are unfortunately no shortcuts to this and it needs to be done properly if you intend on maximising your trades. Without proper knowledge of how forex works your approach would basically amount to a game of luck because there is no real plan to back you up.
