Posted by Kathryn Rubin on October 29, 2009 | 28 comments

Oops! It’s not just trading in day means day-trading but it’s more than that. Let’s move ahead to find out the meaning of day trading.

It is a trading style or a system used to trade at currency trade market and here the traders starts and finishes all his trades at the same trading day.

The trades are completed as fast as possible as it has restriction to finish it’s deal at the end of the same trading day. One more reason is that traders get returns from the trading deals at the time he made the buy or sells the Forex  online options.

This is a very quick and big profitable trading style if traded cautiously and correctly. Those traders who are using this day-trading system enjoys quick returns and soothing trading practice as well because they don’t need to hold overnight trading accounts.

The fact is that Forex market is never closed and is open twenty-four hours from Sunday midday to Friday midday. Thus, the trader only decides the starting and end of the trading day and not the Forex market itself.

Whenever traders trade using day trading system they should keep in mind that faster they make position higher will be the transaction costs of the trades so make sure to select a system that has potential to earn adequate amount of money that can replenish all your transaction costs at once.

A very simple difference between day trader and an investor is the time duration of making buying and selling decisions. However, the main difference lies in the difference of goals and objectives of a particular trader.

As an investor purchase stocks with an intention or belief that the value of stocks will increase with the passage of time and in this expectation he tends to hold the stock for long duration for earning more profits.

Whereas, a day trader trades with an expectation of small or short-term movements in the currency value and that’s why he trades in big lots of around 100,000. The minor changes in the value of currency rate is not significant but is prove to be more profitable when that minor fluctuations get multiplied by a big lot of 100,000.

In the end, one thing to quote is that high profitable potentials brings with it higher risks also so always make buying and selling position with brain because every Forex trading style can be traded using your intelligence and the point you loose your active concentration the moment you loose your profits.

Posted by Kathryn Rubin on October 21, 2009 | 5 comments

The Federal Reserve step of expanding the financial base 114% in the last twelve months was a significant step to give trading a little momentum. The interest rates have been dropped down considerably in all the big nations.

The interest rates are below one percent in US, Japan and UK while ECB has kept the interest rate at 1 percent and finally permitted to place the rate below one percent in overnight at its twelve-month bank sales.

On the other hand, Central Banks have implemented alternative fiscal actions to improve the financial volatility of the Forex market.

ECB had record high of 620 $ billion in funds of one-year. China also put funds into the monetary base. Federal Reserve financed one$ trillion to US reserves. The government has decided to spend more on fiscal measures to enhance the economic growth.

In addition to this, US sanctioned a 787 billion package of stimulus in February out of which two-third will be released in 2010.

Japan declared a new stimulus plan in April of about two percent of GDP. The stimulus plan of China equals to 4 $ trillion and the EU approved stimulus package of 266 $ billion that is equal to the 1.5% worth of GDP.

These financial stimulus plans and cut downs in interest rates are trying to check the pace of economic recovery and inflation rate.

US CPI improved with a slow speed in September and the annual consumer prices dropping by 1.3 percent. US wage rate have dropped to eighteen-year low.

There is a drop of around 1.4% in the average weekly wage rates in this year for the workers of private sectors in September for making adjustments to handle the inflation. If the dropping trend continues then it, will going to be remarked as the landmark drop in the real wages since the year 1991.

While the EU CPI dropped by 0.3 percent for the fourth month in September. The first state to lower the wages is Colorado as the Federal minimum wage law was released in the year 1938.

The state decided to cut off its minimum wage to around 7.24 $ that is by four cents on 1 January in order to return a CPI drop.

One more declaration from Social Security Administration on Thursday that there will be no cost of living privileges to be provided to seniors for the first time as automatic boost plans were organized in the year 1975 as the inflation rate was moving negatively for last twelve months.

Obama planned to give 250 $ checks to fifty million Social Security recipients for those who are not getting cost of living adjustment privilege in January.

The estimated price tag for this plan is 12 $ to 14 $ billion. Even though the economy is recovering and the Obama prevention plan was formulated the US mortgage hit a record high in third quarter. From the last three months, around 937,840k owners of houses got a notice as per the Really Trac.
