DESCRIPTION
http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/global-forex-trading Global Forex Trading It is possible to engage in global Forex trading as the three major currency markets are London, New York, and Tokyo. Trading during business hours at these three exchanges gives nearly twenty-four hour a day access to foreign currency trading. In all of the major markets one can trade all currencies. However, it is commonly not possible to trade many of the minor Forex currencies against each other. Many of not most of the minor Forex currencies are traded one against the US dollar and then the US dollar is traded against the second currency. In trading Forex markets a trader chooses New York, Tokyo, or London based on his working hours and to a degree on the currencies that he trades. For example, news that is germane to the Yen and AUD will commonly break during trading hours in Tokyo while news that affects the Euro, Swiss franc, or Pound will break during London hours. North American news affecting the CAD and USD will break during New York hours. Volatility Leads to Profits Currency speculators look for volatile markets in global Forex trading. Profits occur when a trader correctly anticipates prices changes in any given currency pair. Global Forex trading allows traders to buy and sell currencies that are actively trading and whose prices are fluctuating. Traders engage in technical analysis of minor Forex currencies and technical analysis of major Forex currencies as a means of predicting when to make a profitable trade. Because major pairs trade in higher volume and with greater liquidity than minor pairs, technical trading is typically more accurate with these currencies. On the other hand a trader who is more knowledgeable about the fundamentals of a minor currency may benefit from his expertise niche while the general run of traders will be caught unawares by changes in a given minor currency.

Trading during business hours at these three exchanges gives nearly twenty-
four hour a day access to foreign currency trading.

In all of the major markets one can trade all currencies.

However, it is commonly not possible to trade many of the minor Forex currencies against each other.
http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/global-forex-trading
Many of not most of the minor Forex currencies are traded one against the
US dollar and then the US dollar is traded against the second currency.

In trading Forex markets a trader chooses New York, Tokyo, or London based on his working hours and to a
degree on the currencies that he trades.

For example, news that is germane to the Yen and AUD will commonly break
during trading hours in Tokyo while news that affects the Euro, Swiss franc
or Pound will break during London hours.

Volatility Leads to Profits
http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/global-forex-trading
Currency speculators look for volatile markets in global Forex trading.
http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/global-forex-trading
Profits occur when a trader correctly anticipates prices changes in any given
currency pair.
http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/global-forex-trading
Global Forex trading allows traders to buy and sell currencies that are actively
trading and whose prices are fluctuating.
http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/global-forex-trading
Traders engage in technical analysis of minor Forex currencies
and technical analysis of major Forex currencies as a means of predicting when to make
a profitable trade.http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/global-forex-trading
Because major pairs trade in higher volume and with greater liquidity than
minor pairs, technical trading is typically more accurate with these
currencies.
http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/global-forex-trading
On the other hand a trader who is more knowledgeable about the fundamentals
of a minor currency may benefit from his expertise niche while the general
run of traders will be caught unawares by changes in a given minor currency.

Options in Global Currency Trading
http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/global-forex-trading
Often traders can profit by trading currency options.
http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/global-forex-trading
Options are a way to leverage trading capital and a way to hedge risk.
http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/global-forex-trading
When purchasing an options contract on a currency pair a trader pays for the
right to execute the contract if and when doing so is profitable. He is under no
obligation to do so.
http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/global-forex-trading
As such he does not buy or sell a currency but rather pays for the option
to do so.
http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/global-forex-trading
A call option gives the buyer the right to buy one currency with another and a
put contract gives the buyer the right to sell one currency for another.
http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/global-forex-trading
Options in global Forex trading allow the trader to stake out a position but not
tie up trading capital.
http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/global-forex-trading
Options also allow a trader to take speculative positions. In a volatile
market a long shot position may turn out to be very profitable and may turn
into a huge loss if the trader buys or sells currency and waits for events to
take their course.
http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/global-forex-trading
When he buys options the trader only stands to lose the price of the options
contract and thus limits big losses while waiting for big gains.
