« The very basics of currency trading. »
Trading currencies can be challenging, just like options trading, for example. Lots of nuances but also lots of opportunities. Let me throw some quick topics here:
Portfolio Design
How do you fit Forex inside your portfolio? Most traders would simple say: DELTA! DAY TRADING! Yes, I agree, but what about cash flow? What about long-term investing? What about hedging your investments from the dangers of an exotic currency? Yes, it’s all possible with Forex.
Position Sizing
It’s all about PIPs, lots, and leverage. What are they? OK, let’s jump to the next topic:
Definitions
Forex has its own set of definitions. What would you expect from the largest and most liquid financial market in the whole world, opened 24/5.5? Trillions of dollars are traded every single day, so, do expect some terminology: Base currency, Quote currency, Currency pairs, Major pairs, Exotic pairs, PIPs, Lots, Pegged Rate, Free-floating, Dollarization, Carry Trade, Go-to-bed Trade, Bank-Open trade, Tick Value…
Are you already panicking? Please, don’t, because we’ve just released something for you.
