Trading Using Leverage

Most amateur traders (buy and hold traders, etc.) trade using cash, meaning that if they want to buy $10,000 worth of stock, they must have $10,000 in cash in their trading account. Professional traders trade using leverage, meaning that if they want to buy $10,000 worth of stock, they only need $3,000 (approximately) in cash in their trading account (i.e. they only need a small percentage of the amount that they want to trade).
Trading using leverage is trading on credit, by depositing a small amount of cash, and then borrowing a larger amount of cash. For example, a trade on the EUR futures market has a contract value of $125,000 (i.e. the minimum amount that can be traded is $125,000), but using leverage, the same trade can be made with only $6,000 (approximately) in cash. Leverage is related to margin, in that margin is the minimum amount of cash that you must have in order to be allowed to trade using leverage. In the above example, the $6,000 is the margin requirement that is set by the exchange for the EUR futures market, and the remaining $119,000 ($125,000 - $6,000) is the leveraged amount.
Non traders (and many amateur traders) believe that trading using leverage is dangerous, and is a quick way to lose more money than they started with. This is primarily because of the various warnings that are given regarding trading using leverage. Leverage warnings are given by financial agencies (such as the US SEC), and by brokerages that offer trading using leverage, and usually use wording similar to the following:
Trading using leverage carries a high degree of risk to your capital, and it is possible to lose more than your initial investment. Only speculate with money you can afford to lose.
With warnings like this, it is no wonder that many people consider trading using leverage to be dangerous. However, as is usual with government warnings, this is only half of the story, and very little of the truth.
The reality is that professional traders trade using leverage every day because it is an efficient use of their capital. There are many advantages to trading using leverage, but there are no disadvantages whatsoever. Trading using leverage allows traders to trade markets that would otherwise be unavailable. Leverage also allows traders to trade more contracts (or shares, or forex lots, etc.) than they would otherwise be able to afford. However, the one thing that trading using leverage does not do, is increase the risk of a trade. There is no more risk when trading using leverage, than there is when trading using cash.
The following are some examples of how trading using leverage incurs no more risk than trading using cash:
Stock Trade
Symbol: XYZ Trade: Long 1000 shares Tick Value: $10 per 0.01 change in price Entry Price: $125.50 Target: $126 Stop Loss: $125.25 If the above trade is traded using cash, the trader would need $125,500 in cash in order to enter the trade. If the trade was profitable (i.e. it reached its target), they would make a profit of 50 ticks, and receive $500 (50 ticks x $10 per tick) in profit. If the trade was not profitable (i.e. it reached its stop loss), they would lose 25 ticks, thereby losing $250 (25 ticks x $10 per tick) of their original capital.
If the same trade is traded using leverage, the trader would only need $37,650 in cash in order to enter the trade. If the trade was profitable (i.e. it reached its target), they would make the same profit of 50 ticks, and still receive $500 (50 ticks x $10 per tick) in profit. If the trade was not profitable (i.e. it reached its stop loss), they would still only lose 25 ticks, thereby losing the same $250 (25 ticks x $10 per tick) of their original capital.
The profit / loss outcome of the trade is identical regardless of whether the trade is made using cash or leverage, because the number of shares traded is the same (1000 shares in the example).
Futures Trade
Symbol: EUR Trade: Long 1 contract Tick Value: $12.50 per 0.0001 change in price Entry Price: $1.2800 Target: $1.2900 Stop Loss: $1.2780 If this trade is traded using cash, the trader would need $125,000 in cash in order to enter the trade (because this is the value of the contract). If the trade was profitable (i.e. it reached its target), they would make a profit of 100 ticks, and receive $1,250 (100 ticks x $12.50 per tick) in profit. If the trade was not profitable (i.e. it reached its stop loss), they would lose 20 ticks, thereby losing $250 (20 ticks x $12.50 per tick) of their original capital.
If the same trade is traded using leverage, the trader would only need approximately $6,000 in cash in order to enter the trade (the margin requirement for the EUR). If the trade was profitable (i.e. it reached its target), they would make the same profit of 100 ticks, and still receive $1,250 (100 ticks x $12.50 per tick) in profit. If the trade was not profitable (i.e. it reached its stop loss), they would still only lose 20 ticks, thereby losing the same $250 (20 ticks x $12.50 per tick) of their original capital.
The profit / loss outcome of the trade is identical regardless of whether the trade is made using cash or leverage, because the tick value is the same ($12.50 per tick for the EUR futures market).

Trading using leverage is an efficient use of trading capital, that is no more risky than trading using cash (and can actually reduce risk, but that is another article). As a result, professional traders trade using leverage for every trade that they make. So, if you are still trading a cash account, either modify your account or open a new leverage (or margin) account, and start trading using leverage.

Trading Stock Indexes

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

All traders, and almost all non traders, are aware of the main US, European, and Asian stock indexes, because these are the indexes that are reported in the news. However, many traders, and certainly most non traders, do not know how the stock indexes are traded, and often assume that they are traded like individual stocks.

The stock indexes cannot actually be traded directly, and are available for information only (i.e. as a way to track the performance of the markets or a specific sector). Market data is available for the stock indexes, and they can be charted like any other market, but there is no way to make either a long or short trade on the actual stock indexes.

Whenever we hear a trader mention that they are long on the Nasdaq, or short on the FTSE 100, they are not actually long or short on the Nasdaq or FTSE 100 indexes. They are actually long or short on a futures or options market such as the NQ futures market or the Z options market.

Futures and options that are based upon a stock index are known as derivatives markets, because they are derived from the underlying stock index. There are futures and options markets available for all of the popular stock indexes. Stock index futures and options markets are some of the most popular markets for short term and long term traders alike.

Futures and options markets usually move in synchronization with their underlying stock indexes (e.g. when the CAC 40 stock index moves down, the CAC40 futures market usually moves down). It is therefore possible to chart the stock indexes while trading the futures or options markets.

There are some advantages to charting the stock indexes instead of the futures or options markets. For example, the stock indexes are continuous markets (i.e. they do not expire like futures and options contracts do), so traders do not need to update their charting software to a new contract every three months (or monthly depending upon the market in question). Also, the options markets are difficult to chart because they consist of many equally active contracts (with different prices), so charting the stock indexes instead allows a trader to trade multiple options contracts using a single chart.

If you do decide to chart the stock indexes instead of the futures or options markets, note that you still need to update your trading software (your order entry software) to use the appropriate futures or options contract, otherwise, you may find yourself trying to trade an expired contract and wondering why it isn't working.

Trading Software

Trading software is used by day traders to place the entry and exit orders that make up their trades, and is often known as order entry software. Trading software displays the current (and sometimes most recent) prices for each market, and usually interfaces with charting software to provide a graphical view of the market.
Each day trading brokerage has their own trading software, so the trading software that each day trader uses will often depend upon which brokerage they choose. The trading software for some popular day trading brokerages are as follows :
Interactive Brokers : Trader Workstation (known as TWS) Transact Futures : TransactAT Peregrine Financial Group : Best Direct Some brokerage trading software is available free of charge as long as a trading account is maintained with the brokerage (such as Interactive Brokers' TWS software). Some brokerage trading software is available free of charge if a minimum number of trades are completed each month (i.e. if a minimum amount of commission is generated). Some brokerage trading software is only available for a monthly or yearly fee, which can range from around $50 to $1000 per year.

Click Here! Brokerage provided trading software can always be used to make trades, but some day traders prefer to use additional trading software that interfaces with their brokerage or brokerage provided software. Additional trading software (sometimes known as a front end) can provide a different display, and different features (such as automatic target and stop loss orders), and is often easier to use than brokerage provided trading software. Some popular additional trading software are listed below : In addition to third party trading software, some day traders prefer to program their own trading software, that interfaces with their brokerage or brokerage trading software. This allows the day trader to program the software in their preferred programming language (C/C++, Visual Basic, etc.), and to include exactly the features that they want when they are trading (such as automatic reversals, breakout entries, etc.).
All day traders need to be familiar with their brokerage provided trading software, but usually you can use any compatible trading software that you prefer. Most brokerage provided and additional trading software offers a demonstration version, so that you can test the software before you decide if it is the trading software that you want to use. This allows you to become familiar with the software before you start using it for real trading, and it is recommended that beginning day traders use trading software that offers a demonstration version.

What is Day Trading?

Day trading (and trading in general) is the buying and selling of various financial instruments, such as futures, options, currencies, and stocks, with the goal of making a profit from the difference between the buying price and the selling price. Day trading differs slightly from other styles of trading in that positions are rarely (if ever) held overnight or when the market being traded is closed.
Day trading was originally only available to financial companies (such as banks), because only they had access to the exchanges and market data. But with recent technology such as the Internet, individual traders now have direct access to the same exchanges and market data, and can make the same trades at very low cost.
There are several different styles of day trading, suited to different day trader personalities. The styles range from short term trading such as scalping where positions are only held for a few seconds or minutes, to longer term swing and position trading where a position may be held throughout the trading day. Most day trading systems have a lot of flexibility, and can have open positions for anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours, depending upon how the trade is doing (whether it is in profit). Some day traders will trade multiple styles, but most traders will choose a single style and only take that type of trade.
Day trading also has different types of trade, such as trend trades, counter-trend trades, and ranging trades. Trend trades are trades in the direction of the current price movement (i.e. buying if the price is moving up), and counter-trend trades are trades against the direction of the current price movement (i.e. selling if the price is moving up). Ranging trades are trades that go back and forth between two prices, and are used when the market is moving sideways. Most day traders will choose a single type of trade, but some traders will take different types, and choose which one to trade depending upon the current condition of the market.
In addition to the style and type of day trading, there are other variances between day traders. Some day traders like to make many trades throughout the trading day, while others prefer to wait for what they consider the best conditions for their trade, and perhaps only make one trade per day. However many trades are made, the trading process that is used, and the desired goal of making a profit, are the same.
There are many different financial instruments, or markets, that can be day traded, and they are offered by various exchanges throughout the world. The main types of day trading markets are futures, options, currencies, and stock markets. Within these types, there are groups of markets based on stock indexes (such as the Dow Jones, and the DAX), currency exchange rates (such as the Euro to US Dollar exchange rate), and commodities (such as gold, and oil). Day traders can have access to all of the exchanges and their markets via direct access brokers, so called because they offer direct access to the exchange, which provides faster trade execution at lower cost. Further information about the available markets can be found in the article Which Markets can be Day Traded?, and details of the most popular day trading markets are available in the Market Profiles category.

Forex Day trading With Multiple Timeframe Analysis

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

It is not uncommon to see people new to the business of trading try to utilise 5 minute charts and experience numerous losses in the process of doing so.  This is not to say that trading higher timeframe charts is a simple path to success  – because it is not. Higher timeframe charts do however remove some of the noise which is exacerbated when trading with the lower timeframe Forex charts.   A 20 pip stop loss can be hit in seconds during major event risk or even on interaction with a technical level.

Does this mean that lower timeframe Forex trading is an exercise in futility?  I would say this is not the case but an awareness of the bigger picture is essential.  This post will look at a top down analysis piece which culminated in a trade on the 5 minute timeframe charts.  As you will see there was a lot of thought going into the setup and it was not limited to the 5 minute chart in isolation

This trade was on the GBPUSD currency pair.  Our weekly GBPUSD analysis brought to light the following information re the pound/dollar major.

Price was trading just above the psychological 1.6000 GBPUSD handle.Commitment of traders COT report data showed the pound was relatively robust in terms of non-commercial (large speculators) positioning.Price was moving into a confluence area of potential support on the higher timeframe charts.

Now you may see this as irrelevant, when looking to trade intra-day on the lower timeframe, but it tells us there is a chance the bigger traders will be looking for GBPUSD longs as the new week begins.  At the very least it shows us that the market is not “overtly” bearish on the pound.

Further to this we have a gap down on EURUSD and the dollar index gaps higher.  The gap was still open as the Frankfurt/London Open session begins  and some traders may be looking to initiate a gap trade play.  This information is noted down before the trading day begins.

So the top down analysis had shown that price did not close below support. If the bears are trapped in a net breakeven or worse trade and do not see further downside they may need to liquidate positions. Even if they have a profit on the table and see price stalling at support they may become nervous and take a profit before the London open.

All of the above is supplementary information compared with the last piece of the puzzle.  As the Frankfurt and London markets open cable tests double bottom area support following a strong 5 minute bearish candle (see price action within the red circle above). 

The next candle (prior to the trigger candle) is hinting that price my be running out of bearish momentum with the small wick below.  This is not really a strong signal on its own though.  The next candle was my trigger to go long.  A 5-minute bullish engulfing candle at the double bottom area.  A 5 minute trade signal like this is not uncommon but the time (liquidity hitting the market at European open) and location (price structure support) made it stand out in my eyes. 

I was already aware that there was not event risk due and had checked the financial calendar schedule.  The spread was checked before trade initiation to make sure it was acceptable.  The exit was at the horizontal dotted black line above.  Traders differ in this area (profit taking) but I prefer to grab a quick profit and minimise risk.

The trade lasted around 10 minutes and went smoothly to the target (it does not always work out so well… trust me).  If price had of hesitated at the down sloping trend line a decision would have need to be made regarding potentially closing out early.  

Hopefully this gives an insight into the preparation that goes into a trade idea.  Do not go out and try to replicate this.  The post is purely for commentary purposes only and not a recommendation on how to trade.  Take care out there.

Trading Forex with Signals – A Social Network Way of Thinking

The Forex Industry has and continues to undergo fundamental changes in 2012. With significant market instability since the recession of 2008+, traders have been forced to become more aware of current affairs and events. Whilst at the same time more astute in understanding the benefits and features of the growing number of Forex Brokers.

2012 is set to be cemented as the year where Social & Apps become one in all verticals. In Forex this is especially pertinent since traditionally interaction and engagement between traders was a taboo subject. Today we see the openness and willingness of traders to share strategies and participate in open discussion on events that can lead to smart trading.

One area where recent technical developments have matured is Forex Signals for long time, signals were frowned upon as untrustworthy and created by opportunists aiming to make their profit from selling a product while their customers lose their money on the markets.

In 2012 we’re seeing a natural move from traditional signal providers being replaced by user generated and transparent social forex signals . A great example of this is the recent (re)launch of ForexGlobes, which pits itself as the first true “Social Forex Signal Platform” The first generation of their platform soft launched last year although after positive feedback was taken off-line while fundamental re-development took place. This month it re-emerged as a total social experience. Signals are only provided by the community, and the platform is open to all traders regardless of level or current choice of broker. The intention appears to be 100% transparence coupled with 100% independence from trading activity.

As a truly social platform the success of individuals is dependent upon the success of the group. Every trader is able to publish signals and a ‘reputation’ score is continuously recalculated allowing new members to easily see which trader should be followed and trades copied for the best chance of success.

Forex trading has become an honest and accepted investment strategy and tool for both institutional and private investors. However it has taken some time for the market to mature and companies to emerge willing and able to provide traders with real tools to help them make money. With social platforms entering the market the face of Forex has changed irrevocably, the power and demand for transparency is with the client.

For the first time there now exists a trading signals community. Engagement, exchange and discussion of Forex trading strategies can now be leveraged to allow you to realize the opportunities claimed by brokers.

Currency and Commodity Trading techniques-Target gold and oil alternatives

An analysis of currencies and commodities trade the sharp dealer refers to the currencies of countries whose economic production and later export are mainly raw materials, such as raw materials such as aluminium, oil and gold and agricultural products such as sugar, soya or livestock.
Although it would not be wrong to refer to many world currency such as commodity currencies, this is not the intention when traders use this description. Those who follow currency and commodity trade trends, however, use the term to describe the three major countries in which raw materials an important role in both the economic output if the output play.
A look at trade charts will learn how changes in global commodity prices seem correlated to the Canadian, Australian and New Zealand dollar coins, with the Australian dollar, a very good proxy for gold price movements and the price of crude oil price seems to correlate closely with movements in the Canadian dollar (CAD). Unlike the other two commodity currencies, the New Zealand dollar (NZD) or "Kiwi" does not seem to be associated with a particular raw material, but rather shows a close correlation with price changes in the broader measure of Commodity Research Bureau (CRB) Index.
Let's consider what happens when gold strengthened? We can expect to observe a similar increase in the AUD/USD pair (the Aussie), as all currencies trade in pairs. This equates to a strengthening of the Australian dollar against the US dollar, or put it another way, the u.s. dollar is weakening in that pair. The beginning of the economic uncertainty in the global economy, such as recession or soaring inflation, asks investors to gold as it is considered a safe haven. Currency and commodity traders will also how Golden links to the Aussie, and instead this pair trade.
Australia Gets a significant percentage of the export of raw materials and more than 50 percent of exports from this source with gold, other precious metals and copper play a major role. Take a look at trade data to see the strong positive correlation of the Aussie and gold. This means a switched-on trader can trade gold futures or an ETF, or exposure to AUD/USD in the spot forex market.
Market data will show the keen observer of currency and commodity trading the significant part played in the global commodities market by Canada, especially when it comes to her role as a strategic crude oil-producer. This leads to the inverse correlation observed between the changes in the price of crude oil and the movement of the pair USD/CAD (Loonie).
Canada is a major oil supplier to the United States, which in turn neighbour consumes more oil than any other economy. A low crude oil price would be bad news for the Canadian dollar, but positive for both the u.s. economy and the u.s. dollar. Every merchant bearish on the Outlook for crude oil prices as a proxy can go short the Canadian dollar in the Forex market, instead of short or inverse ETF in Nymex crude oil is going to buy.
Knowing how these three currencies are closely linked to raw materials, we can see why currency and commodity trading in spot forex trading takes observers their chance to take advantage of commodity market movements, or in crude oil, gold, or more in General about the commodity spectrum. There is always a bull market in currency trading, so decide what you are long or short in your chosen currency pair.

Gold Trading strategies

With the price of gold hit all time highs are many traders wondering if gold trading is a great way to extra profits. One way that this can be done is by the trade of the gold futures contract. This is where you are speculating that the price of gold will rise or fall in the future. Gold historically is a great long-term investment in times of economic uncertainty or crisis. Having regard to the fact that the world is currently in a financial crisis and you have many different international tensions are flaring gold displayed why such big investment in times of great challenge.
There are many ways that you the up and down movements in the gold price can benefit. One way is to play the long side, that where you are speculating is that prices will rise in the future. Another way is to play the short side, which is when you are speculating that the prices will decrease in the future. When you are going to trade one of the different raw materials, it is important to pay attention to the tick occurs.
This is where such as futures contract is bought or shorted is reflected by a positive or a negative number down up tick tick. What you want to do is enter a position on a negative tick below if you plan on going long or a positive to tick on the short side, help you when entering the futures contract at the right time. A common strategy used to trade gold is the straddle, which is where you go long and short at the same time. The idea is to buy both commands on the same price and time frame so you can take advantage of the volatility to earn money.

Online gold trading-a close look at the meteoric rise of gold

Online gold trading has hit record levels this year. Gold, in terms of value, has risen 19% this year and hit a high of $ 1072/ounce on 14 October. This comes as no surprise if the US Dollar Index which measures the currency compared to those of the six main trading partners, fell to a low 14 month 1 day after gold hit its record high 2009.
What are the underlying factors for the meteoric rise of gold?
-As mentioned in the introduction of this article, is one of the main reasons for the advance of gold the rapid deterioration of the US Dollar. This deterioration in the reserve currency of the world has mainly fed by the Federal Reserve that the past two years has begun an unprecedented program of quantitative easing. The Fed along with other central banks around the world have collective approximately 11.7 trillion pumped into their economies in an attempt to combat the credit crisis. The huge sums of money that the Fed is printed while investors keep rates close to zero has seen to dump the dollar and diversify into other asset classes. One of the main beneficiaries, of course, has its gold, as many investors around the world the precious metal as an alternative currency and a hedge against currency devaluation perceive.
Inflation expectations are now at a very low level with central banks around the world currently interest at a record low level and the pumping of huge sums of money in their economies, but investors are fully aware that once the global economy recovers fully than central banks will aggressively hike interest rates in an attempt to reach the future inflation which threatens to curb record levels and difficult to contain. It is therefore another reason for the increase of gold that investors are hedging yourself against future inflation.
-The broad base commodities rally in recent months also has an impact on the price of gold. After hitting a low point of crude oil broke $ 33 a barrel earlier this year, the met by a very strong bid Show and this week above the 80 dollar per barrel level. Traditionally if oil producers deserve more money, that they tend to buy gold for diversification.
Companies that produce gold traditionally enter the futures markets to sell gold for delivery at some point in the future. This hedging behaviour by producers of gold is performed to compensate for the risk that prices could fall between now and then. However, with online gold trading at record levels this hedging mentality by producers of gold decreases. Instead, producers of gold are unwind their hedges and in order to do this they must buy gold which ultimately pushes up the price of gold even more.
Finally, gold prices continue to rise in the medium term under current market conditions and a printout of $ 1150 $ 1250/ounce is a realistic goal for the precious metal.

The growing popularity of Online gold trading

Gold is already years one of the few commodities that is always in demand. It has always remained in trend and considered the best raw materials for investing.
