Low Spreads Forex

The spread is the main way forex brokers generate their profits. The spread is the difference between the price at which you can buy a currency, and the price at which it can be sold at any particular point in time.

When looking for a broker, keep an eye out on their spread costs. The less the spread, the more money you will save and the faster you will be making a profit in a trade.

Quality Registered Institution


In the United States, forex brokers should be registered as a Futures Commission Merchant (FCM) with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) http://www.cftc.gov. They should also be a member of the National Futures Association.

You can verify the brokers CFTC registration and NFA membership status at http://www.nfa.futures.org/basicnet/. If the broker is not backed up by a reliable institution, don't bother with them it's not worth the risk.

Leverage Options

Leverage is needed to trade currencies due to the fact that price movements are only fractions of a cent. In general, leverage is expressed as a ratio between the amount of capital you provide to the amount a forex broker will lend you.

For example, take the example of the ratio of 200:1. What this means is that the forex broker will lend you 200 times the amount of money you provide. Just keep in mind the more leverage you use, the more risk there is in getting a margin call, however you also have the potential for larger profits and vice-versa.

In general, when starting out with a small amount of capital; make sure that the forex broker you are using offers a wide range of leverage options. This will give you more control over the risk

Forex news strategy | ForexGen

There are many news trading systems out there. Many people attempt to trade the initial news spike after a data release. Price can move one direction very quickly seconds after a new release, leaving a good opportunity to trade. The move is often bigger if there is a surprise in the numbers. I remember a shock interest rate hike by the bank of england in January 2007. The pair GBP/USD rose around 150 in less than a minute!

If you want to trade news spikes it is important to have a very fast news feed that can get the numbers to you as quickly as possible, before the market moves. An example of a budget news feed is Tradethenews. Bloomberg and Reuters both offer professional news feed, they are not cheap though.

It also important to have a broker that has very fast execution around the news releases. Many retail forex brokers do not like news traders, so it is important to find a broker that best suits your needs. Due to the high volatility around the news releases execution on a live account is often very different to that of a demo account.
