Forex Chart Types

1. There are three main types of charts that are used by most traders in the forex market. Two of them, bar charts and candlestick charts, display basically the same information in a different visual mediums. The other type of chart, perhaps the most common in finance and trading in general, is the simple line chart.

Line Chart

Sometimes the line chart represents the day's average price for a particular currency pair. Still other times it is the closing price. It is useful for looking at long term direction of prices and for the correlation of a currency pair with other variables, such as commodity prices or trade defects.On most good websites, any number of different variables can be grouped together to see how they correlate in the real world.

2.The major strength of the line chart is that it is easy to read and spot directional changes. The major weakness is that there is no way to see daily price volatility.

Bar Chart

The next type of chart is the bar chart. Like most charts, it has two notches on it, one representing opening and one representing closing costs. The one on the left represents the opening cost, the one on the right represents the closing. The edges of each bar represent the highs and lows for the day.

3. There are few advantages that the bar chart offers over the candlestick chart, other than accessibility for first time chart readers. The candlestick chart offers all the same information, but in a manner that lets the reader who is familiar with the format pick up the information in a quicker manner.

Candlestick Chart

Candlestick charts are perhaps the most popular type of chart for the forex market and forex websites in general. They instantly let a reader know what's gone on that day and where the market has moved. For more information on how to read candlestick charts, see the article, “candlestick patterns.”

Currency Rates

Currency Exchange and Currency transfers for your Property Purchase Abroad.

The Foreign Currency Exchange market is the world’s largest financial market, in excess of 1.5 trillion US dollars are being exchanged daily.

The process of Foreign currency exchange transfers couldn’t be easier. and as most services – money transfer is a free service with our Foreign Exchange partner.

However, be aware that some companies make charges for transfering money abroad.

Here is a simple 3 step guide:

Step 1. Open an account

Complete an Application Form and ensure you have usually two forms of ID: (1) photographic (2) proof of residence.

Step 2. Buy your currency

Speak to a currency dealer and they will give you the current market rate. If you are happy with the quotation they will buy the currency on your behalf. This trade is usually confirmed in writing by way of a deal receipt and usually provides instructions on how, when, and where to make payment for your currency.

Step 3. Get your currency

Once cleared funds are received by your dealer, they will promptly transfer your exchanged currency to any bank account of your choice, worldwide, the same day.

Other than just choosing any particular day to exchange your money, you could choose other dates to make the currency exchange. It may be that you have decided to buy a new property that won’t need the final balance to be paid until 18 month’s time. In this case, it may suit you to do a ’spot deal’ today for the deposit and arrange for a ‘forward deal’ for the final balance. By doing this, you will have just ‘fixed’ the purchase price to your home currency and will have ensured that you don’t get caught out by a weakening home currency, or a strengthening one in the country of your purchase. This can save people thousands.

Here are 4 basic types of transaction:

• Spot Contract
A spot contract is undertaken when you buy currency at the prevailing exchange rate at the time of the transaction and make payment within two working days. This transaction is typically used for deposit payments on property or for full payment if the funds to pay for the transaction are available.

• Forward Currency Contracts
A forward contract is undertaken when you fix the exchange rate now for a specific date from one to 24 months in the future. As an example, your final payment for a home abroad may be the equivalent of £100,000. You could fix that exchange rate today with a small deposit, and pay for the bulk of that transaction at the completion of the forward contract. To guarantee the exchange rate, private clients will have to pay for at least 10% of the value straight away (a margin deposit) and the balance on or before the maturity of the contract

US Economy Contracts 1% in Quarter 2

The U.S. economy contracted by 1% in Quarter 2 of 2009. However, this is a smaller contraction than expected. Analysts had expected more shrinkage in the economy, reports the Financial Times
Wall Street analysts were expecting a contraction of 1.5 per cent, but the downward revision from the original previous quarter estimate of a 5.5 per cent drop dampened optimism.
“Even though it’s negative, we’re not seeing the horrendous numbers we saw earlier in the year or in early 2008,” said Brian Bethune, an economist at IHS Global Insight.The news has stoked some optimism. Even though the Stock market opened lower, it has since moved into positive territory, heading higher as the news sinks in. The U.S. dollar, on the other hand, is moving lower.

The Yen Returns to Favor

The yen returned to favor against a basket of currencies in the Asian session. There were rumors that funds from maturing US Treasuries owned by the Japanese was going to be repatriated, resulting in yen buying. This, combined with Friday's sell off in US equities, has caused the yen to strengthen to 94.80. It looks like the uptrend line in place since early July has been broken. Is the yen telling us that the rally in stocks since the middle of March is about to end? The Shanghai stock index had its worst week since February, down 6%, suggesting that influence of the Chinese stimulus package may be waning.If we have a reversal in the USD/JPY, it looks like there may be more on the downside, perhaps to the 93/93.50 level. Should the market gives us a rally back to 95 today, let's sell the pair and put a stop above the down trend line at about 95.70.

Growth Surprise Boosts Euro

Patterns in the forex markets seem to be changing: over a long period of time, whenever the crisis intensified, the dollar and the yen benefited. The more confident market participants became, the more the euro strengthened. Most other industrialised and emerging market currencies benefited from increasing risk appetite as well. As confidence grows that the economy could have bottomed out, markets are now focusing more on comparing developments in individual countries, particularly the pace of recovery in these regions, and when they could decide to end expansive monetary policies and quantitative easing measures.
After the release of the US labour market report last Friday, both the euro and the yen had suffered badly. USD-JPY rose by 2 ½ yen to 97.50, EUR-USD fell from 1.4350 to 1.4150. Then, however, in the run-up to the FOMC meeting, the US currency began to weaken again - presumably mainly because market participants were expecting the Fed to remain cautious and focus on a continuation of its present monetary policy. The Bank of England could have had an impact on market expectations too: the Inflation Report emphasized that the interest rate hikes markets had been expecting would lead to inflation undershooting the target.
The Fed, however, did not take such a decisive stand as the Bank of England. The Fed's assessment of the economic situation was slightly more positive than before: the phrase “the pace of contraction is slowing” was replaced by “economic activity is levelling out”. But the Fed still underlined the weak points, particularly private consumption and corporate investment. The announcement that the $300bn Treasury securities purchasing programme was expected to be completed according to plan by the end of October caused some confusion. Some people saw it - to some extent in contrast to the Bank of England - as the beginning of an exit from quantitative easing. The market's reaction was only short-lived, however. This decision was in fact in line with expectations.
In the second half of the week, the dollar came under fresh pressure after surprisingly good second quarter growth figures for the euro area on the one hand, and somewhat disappointing US retail sales figures on the other. According to preliminary estimates, the decline in real GDP in the eurozone slowed down from -2.5% to -0.1% quarter-on-quarter. Compared with the previous year, the decline slowed from -4.9% to -4.6%. The biggest economies in the euro area, Germany and France, have returned to positive growth rates (0.3% respectively, quarter-on-quarter). In both countries, private consumption, public spending and net exports had a positive impact, whereas corporate investment continued to fall.
Then, however, the US retail sales figures dampened the upbeat mood: instead of picking up as expected because of the US cash-for-clunkers scheme, they posted an 0.1% decline in July compared with the previous month. The 2.4% increase in car sales was not enough to push the total figure into positive territory. Sales fell in most product groups, suggesting that new cars are perhaps being purchased instead of other goods.
The sales figures from the US were not good, but not abysmal either. The market's sharp reaction could indicate that market participants are well aware of the risks to the upswing scenario - the labour market and private consumption: an upswing without private households is practically inconceivable in the US. Markets will have to keep a close eye on consumption data such as consumer confidence.
On the US side, we think it likely that the slightly favourable trend in the macroeconomic data could continue for the time being. Next week will see the release of the first August figures for the manufacturing sector, which is benefiting at present from inventory re-stocking and the car scrappage scheme. The housing market is also likely to continue to stabilise. From this point of view, EUR-USD, presently at just under 1.43, could lose some ground again. In the light of surprisingly strong GDP in Q2 and on the general assumption that the ECB is likely to be more hawkish than the Fed, the euro should remain quite well supported, however. It will presumably remain within the trading range for the time being.

U.S. Dollar Unusual Behaviour Despite

From the middle of 2008 until February 2009, the dollar had been the safe haven vehicle. But in March, when risk appetite came back into the market, the safe haven trade began to slowly unwind. That means, since March, good news for the economy has meant bad news for the dollar.
You can see it in the chart below of the British pound vs. the U.S. dollar. The pound dropped sharply (U.S. dollar rose) on risk aversion as investors fled to the dollar. Now the pound is riding higher on a wave of surging risk appetite.

Within this risk environment, the relationship between financial markets and risk has been abundantly clear: When risk appetite is high … stocks, commodities, interest rates and all currencies (except for the U.S. dollar) rally. When fear creeps back in, the dollar benefits, the U.S. Treasury market benefits and almost everything else goes south.
So, when last week’s employment report showed a lower unemployment rate and fewer jobs lost, the dollar should have taken a hit. But it didn’t. Instead, it rallied!
Well, one day doesn’t make a trend.
And after the markets digested a cautiously positive statement by the Fed this week on the economy, the resulting activity in the currencies spoke clearly: For the moment, it’s still all about risk appetite.
I do, however, expect a shift in market focus to take place in the near term, to accommodate this growing sentiment of recovery. I think that global capital will begin shifting toward those economies that are relative outperformers. And for 2009 and 2010, consensus estimates have the U.S. outperforming other major developed market economies.
Last month, the IMF downgraded its forecast on the Eurozone, expecting the region’s economy to fall 4.8 percent in 2009. And for 2010, while all other economies are expected to grow, the Eurozone is expected to fall more.
Then Germany and France, the two largest economies in the Eurozone, shocked the market this week by posting actual growth for the second quarter!
On top of that, central banks are now upgrading economic forecasts for 2009, a year that was first thought to be a complete disaster. And the 2010 numbers are being boosted even more.
In fact, the European Central Bank has now revised its expectations for 2009 and 2010: Expecting just a slight contraction in 2009 and growth in 2010.
But in a period where less bad is the new good, and economies have stopped free-falling and are now showing signs of improvement, the recovery story is about sustainability, not just data points.

The Yen Returns to Favor

The yen returned to favor against a basket of currencies in the Asian session. There were rumors that funds from maturing US Treasuries owned by the Japanese was going to be repatriated, resulting in yen buying. This, combined with Friday's sell off in US equities, has caused the yen to strengthen to 94.80. It looks like the uptrend line in place since early July has been broken. Is the yen telling us that the rally in stocks since the middle of March is about to end? The Shanghai stock index had its worst week since February, down 6%, suggesting that influence of the Chinese stimulus package may be waning.If we have a reversal in the USD/JPY, it looks like there may be more on the downside, perhaps to the 93/93.50 level. Should the market gives us a rally back to 95 today, let's sell the pair and put a stop above the down trend line at about 95.70.

Economic Indicators Affecting Forex Markets

Economic indicators are snippets of financial and economic data published by various agencies of the government or private sector. These statistics, which are made public on a regularly scheduled basis, help market observers monitor the pulse of the economy. Therefore, they are religiously followed by almost everyone in the financial markets. With so many people poised to react to the same information, economic indicators in general have tremendous potential to generate volume and to move prices in the markets. While on the surface it might seem that an advanced degree in economics would come in handy to analyze and then trade on the glut of information contained in these economic indicators, a few simple guidelines are all that is necessary to track, organize and make trading decisions based on the data. Know exactly when each economic indicator is due to be released. Keep a calendar on your desk or trading station that contains the date and time when each stat will be made public. You can find these calendars on the N.Y. Federal Reserve Bank Web and then by searching for "economic indicators." The same information is also available on many other sources on the Web or from the company you use to execute your trades. Keeping track of the calendar of economic indicators will also help you make sense out of otherwise unanticipated price action in the market. Consider this scenario: it's Monday morning and the USD has been in a tailspin for three weeks. As such, it's safe to assume that many traders are holding large short USD positions. However, on Friday the employment data for the U.S. is due to be released. It is very likely that with this key piece of economic information soon to be made public, the USD could experience a short-term rally leading up to the data on Friday as traders pare down their short positions. The point here is that economic indicators can effect prices directly (following their release to the public) or indirectly (as traders massage their positions in anticipation of the data.) Understand what particular aspect of the economy is being revealed in the data. For example, you should know which indicators measure the growth of the economy (GDP) vs. those that measure inflation (PPI, CPI) or employment (non-farm payrolls). After you follow the data for a while, you'll become very familiar with the nuances of each economic indicator and what part of the economy they are measuring.

In a case when transactions are small, it appears unprofitable to carry out them through large specialized stock exchanges. Such non-standardized transactions are carried out by means of a special way of exchange auctions realization. For this purpose there is a separate market segment. It is called retail (off-exchange) market (ÎÒÑ - market, Over the Counter trade market).
The exchange auctions are held not only for stocks and currencies, but also for the raw goods, such as non-ferrous metals, oil, sugar, wheat. The raw goods are traded more often through futures - contracts with delivery to the future date. The largest future exchange is in Chicago. Since recent time the exchange auctions are held using such tools as stock indexes. The most popular are the auctions on Dow-Jones average and the mini-contract on S&P index.

Forex news

Forex news - the information about the status of national economics of the different countries which can affect decisions of players in the currency market. The most part of forex news is known to players in advance as it is published by the prescribed schedule specified in economic calendars. Forex news strongly differs by force of influence on the market. There is forex news which the market simply does not take into consideration, and there is one which impact very strongly on the movements of exchange rates.
Calendars of forex news usually contain the previous value of an indicator, the forecast and new value. Reaction of the market to forex news will be the stronger, the more outgoing value differs from forecasted value in one or another direction. Forex news can sometimes conflict with the technical picture on certain currency; then the market's reaction can be even less predicted.
News from the USA has the greatest influence on the market. And reaction of the market to news will be the greater, the more the indicator differs from the forecasted value. There are news which the market simply does not notice, there is one that the market takes into consideration, there are news that can rise the whole storm in the market.
In different cases reaction to the same forex news will not be identical as the market can be ready to the publishing of an indicator with certain value. In this case the say, that the market has given proper weigh to the price indicator in advance. For example, the increase of a discount rate of the Central Bank becomes is known in advance with 80 % probability. Then the market will be ready for the receiving some comments on forex news from officials. It is quite often possible to see and a reverse situation: forex news was published quite defined, and there isn't any reaction of the market, or it is turned to the opposite direction. Hence, the market's accents are displaced in another direction during this moment.
The most strongly affecting and potentially dangerous are the unexpected forex news and acts of God. Nobody is able to predict them. It's just necessary to search the ways to minimize the potential damage from occurrence of similar situations.
