  Importance of creating a trading plan

  The importance of having a trading plan for every trader who desires to be successful cannot be over-emphasized. The following are the basic importance of creating a trading plan:

  A. It helps to control the trader's emotions: One of the major reasons why traders lose money in the forex market today is trading with emotions. This induces one to jump into the market at odd times. With a proper trading plan put in place; the trader can control his emotions and avoid rushing the market.

  B. It disciplines the trader: Often trading plan acts like a disciplinarian to the trader showing him the number of trades to take and the suitable lot size to use. Trading Plan in this regard is seen as a consultant for each trade.

  C. It saves the trader from excessive loss: Adhering to a good trading plan here the trader to avoid excessive loss. Thus it indicates the stop loss to choose from and the possible take profit target for each trade.

  D. Trading Plan indicates the best pairs to trade: Of course, not all pairs can be traded at once. The trading Plan shows the best pairs to choose and those to place on the trader's watchlist against future entries.

  E. Trading Plan highlights the best days for trading: Not all days are best for trading, especially days when the trader has no insight into the market trend. A trading plan helps the trader to stay away from trading when he is not sure of the market trend.

InvestmentWhat Is A Lot In Forex? by Khalifofi(op): 9:40am On May 12, 2022
What is a Lot in Forex?

WikiFX · Jan 5, 2022 8:17 AM

Abstract:Forex is often transacted in lots, which are effectively the number of currency units you will buy or sell. A "lot" is a unit of measurement lot for the quantity of a transaction.

  Forex is often transacted in lots, which are effectively the number of currency units you will buy or sell.

  A “lot” is a unit of measurement for the quantity of a transaction.

  When you make orders on your trading platform, they are put in lots of a certain size.

  It's similar to an egg carton (or egg box in British English). When you go shopping for eggs, you normally buy a carton (or box). One carton contains 12 eggs.

  The typical lot size is 100,000 units of cash, but there are now mini, micro, and nano lot sizes of 10,000, 1,000, and 100 units.

LOTNUMBER OF UNITSStandard100,000Mini10,000Micro1,000Nano100

  Some brokers display the quantity in “lots,” while others display the actual currency units.

  As you may know, the change in the value of one currency compared to another is measured in “pips,” which is a very, very small proportion of the value of a unit of money.

  To profit from this minute shift in value, you must trade big amounts of a specific currency to notice any significant profit or loss.

  Assume we'll be using a standard lot size of 100,000 units. We'll recalculate some instances now to see how it affects the pip value. At an exchange rate of 119.80, USD/JPY is equal to (.01 / 119.80) x 100,000 = $8.34 per pip. At an exchange rate of 1.4555, USD/CHF is equal to (.0001 / 1.4555) x 100,000 = $6.87 per pip.

  The calculation is slightly different when the US dollar is not listed first.

  · EUR/USD @ 1.1930 exchange rate: (.0001 / 1.1930) X 100,000 = 8.38 x 1.1930 = $9.99734 rounded up to $10 per pip

  · GBP/USD at 1.8040: (.0001 / 1.8040) x 100,000 = 5.54 x 1.8040 = 9.99416 rounded up will be $10 per pip.

  The following are samples of pip values for EUR/USD and USD/JPY based on lot size.

PAIRCLOSE PRICEPIP VALUE PER:UnitStandard lotMini lotMicro lotNano lotEUR/USDAny$0.0001$10$1$0.1$0.01USD/JPY1 USD = 80 JPY$0.000125$12.5$1.25$0.125$0.0125

  Your broker may use a different method for determining pip values relative to lot size, but they will be able to tell you what the pip value is for the currency you are trading at the time.

  In other words, they perform all of the math for you!

  Depending on the currency you are trading, the pip value will change as the market changes.

  

  What the heck is leverage?

  You might be wondering how a little investor like yourself can trade such enormous sums of money.

  Consider your broker to be a bank that lends you $100,000 to buy currencies.

  All the bank requires is a $1,000 good faith deposit, which it will hold for you but not necessarily keep.

  Isn't it too good to be true? This is how leveraged forex trading works.

  The amount of leverage you utilise will be determined by your broker and your level of comfort.

  A deposit, commonly known as “margin,” is usually required by the broker.

  You will be able to trade once you have deposited your funds. The margin required per position (lot) traded will also be specified by the broker.

  For example, if the permissible leverage is 100:1 (or 1% of the position required), and you wish to trade a $100,000 position but only have $5,000 in your account.

  No issue, your broker will set aside $1,000 as a deposit and let you to “borrow” the remainder.

  Of course, any losses or gains will be withdrawn or added to your account's remaining cash amount.

  The minimum security (margin) for each lot will differ amongst brokers.

  In the preceding case, the broker demanded a 1% margin. This means that for every $100,000 exchanged, the broker will require $1,000 as a position deposit.

  Assume you want to purchase one ordinary lot (100,000) of USD/JPY. If your account is permitted 100:1 leverage, you must put up $1,000 in margin.

  The $1,000 is a deposit, not a cost.

  When you close your trade, you get it back.

  The broker demands the deposit since there is a danger of losing money on the position while the deal is open!

  Assuming that this USD/JPY transaction is the only one active in your account, you must keep your account's equity (the absolute worth of your trading account) at least $1,000 at all times in order to keep the trade open.

  If the USD/JPY falls and your trading losses reduce your account equity to less than $1,000, the broker's algorithm will immediately close out your transaction to prevent future losses.

  This is a safeguard that prevents your account balance from becoming negative.

  Understanding margin trading is so vital that we have devoted a whole section to it later in the School.

  If you don't want to blow up your account, this is a must-read!

  Now, let's go on...

  How the heck do I calculate profit and loss?

  So, now that you understand how to determine pip value and leverage, let's have a look at how you compute profit or loss.

  Let's exchange Swiss francs for US dollars.

  · The rate you've been given is 1.4525 / 1.4530. Because you are purchasing US dollars, you will be working with the “ASK” price of 1.4530, which is the rate at which traders are willing to sell.

  · So you purchase one normal lot (100,000 pieces) at 1.4530.

  · After a few hours, the price has moved to 1.4550, and you decide to exit your deal.

  · The new USD/CHF quote is 1.4550 / 1.4555. Because you first bought to begin the deal, you must now sell to close the trade, hence you must accept the “BID” price of 1.4550. The price at which dealers are willing to buy.

  · The difference between 1.4530 and 1.4550 is.0020, or 20 basis points.

  · Using the previous method, we now have (.0001/1.4550) times 100,000 = $6.87 per pip x 20 pips = $137.40.

  

  Bid/Ask Spread

  Remember that whether you enter or quit a transaction, you are susceptible to the bid/ask spread.

  When purchasing a currency, the offer or ASK price will be used.

  You will utilise the BID price when selling.

  Following that, we'll offer you a rundown of the most recent forex jargon you've picked up!

InvestmentWhat Is Forex Trading And How It Work In South Africa? by Khalifofi(op): 9:38am On May 11, 2022
Abstract:Although Forex trading is regulated in South Africa, it is still possible for traders forex to take advantage with WikiFX of busy times in the market to make a profit.

  Overview

  The Forex or foreign exchange market is an international financial market where traders exchange different currencies in the hopes that they will make a profit from the trade.

  There are also South African traders who trade in this international market and although these traders need to adhere to the regulations set out by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA), they can still take advantage of busy times in the Forex market to leverage high returns. Not forgetting some of the other advantages that are associated with Forex trading.

  What is the Forex market?

  The Forex market is an international liquid financial market where foreign currencies are exchanged. This is one of the largest financial markets in the world, with about R100 trillion worth of trades made daily.

  In this market, traders from all around the world buy and sell different currencies in the hopes of making a profit from these trades. Since the prices of currencies change and fluctuate over time, traders who trade in the Forex market take advantage of the times when these prices are particularly volatile in order to sell currencies for a higher price than they were purchased for.

  What is Forex trading and how does it work in South Africa?

  Forex trading is legal in South Africa and is regulated by the FSCA to protect the industry and ensure healthy competition in the market. Forex trading is used by different individuals and groups like financial institutions and investment banks as a form of investment.

  In South Africa, the only way for individuals who want to trade on the Forex market to access this market is through a Forex broker. This Forex broker will provide the trader with access to the market and any software and information needed in order to exchange different currencies on the Forex market.

  Forex traders in South Africa do have basic principles to follow, and there are times when the market is more active than others. Many traders get into this dynamic and busy field for the advantages that Forex trading may offer.

  Specifics of Forex trading in South Africa

  Although Forex trading in South Africa is regulated by the FSCA, there are other countries around the world where the regulations are much stricter. This regulation may leave some gaps in terms of protection for traders when it comes to the Forex industry.

  For instance, Forex brokers do not have to offer their clients negative balance protection, which means that it is possible for Forex traders to lose more money on the market than they have in their accounts.

  FSCA registered Forex brokers also need to keep their clients funds separate from their business operating costs, and will need to apply for an Over-the-Counter Derivative Provider (ODP) licence. This licence should protect clients from inefficient trades and business operations.

  It is also possible for traders to make use of Rand (ZAR) trading accounts, which can help to avoid unnecessary conversions between currencies when trades are made.

  South African Forex trading sessions

  Since the Forex market is open all around the world, the market is technically open 24 hours a day throughout the week. However, traders have the highest chances of making a profit when the market is busy. As a result, there are four main trading sessions throughout the day when the market is the busiest, that traders should be aware of.

  These sessions in South African times and which markets they correspond with can be summarised as follows:

Trading sessionTime (in South African Standard time)Sydney11 PM to 7 AMTokyo1 AM to 9 AMLondon9 AM to 6 PMNew York2 PM to 10 PM

  The advantages of Forex trading

  While many traders start Forex trading as a way to make an extra income or gain financial freedom, there are also many other advantages to successful Forex trading. Some of these advantages include:

  All you need to access the market is a broker and the internet

  The 24/5 market times

  You only need a small amount of money to start out with leverage trading

  Traders have the opportunity to short sell

  You do not need much money to get started in trading

  Final thoughts

  Different currencies from around the world are exchanged on the Forex market.

  South African traders are among those with hopes of exchanging one currency for another during busy times in the market, to make a profit and secure some of the other benefits of Forex trading.

InvestmentWhat’s To Deal With Forex Traders? by Khalifofi(op): 11:55pm On May 05, 2022
Abstract:Be wary of promises that forex trading will help you get rich quick – there’s a lot more to it than you might realise by WikiFX

Forex trading is setting social media ablaze, with many lured in by its promises of making big money with minimal wikifx effort, particularly as a lucrative side hustle. So, whats the deal behind all the hype? Is it simply a get-rich-quick scheme or is it really possible to start earning megabucks?

Arthur Procopos, Strategic Business Architect at Metropolitan GetUp, believes that it is important to understand what forex trading is, while what it is not.

What is forex trading?

The foreign exchange (forex) market is a global marketplace where foreign currencies are traded, and it is the largest and most liquid market in the world. It is certainly not a scam in itself, but it is becoming increasingly occupied by scammers, for several reasons.

Forex trading is conducted in currency ‘pairs’ (i.e. USD/ZAR), and these currencies increase and decrease in value relative to each other every day. The act of trading involves selling one currency and buying the other, just as with any other stock, says Procopos.

“As an example, lets say the exchange rate between the British Pound and the Rand is 1 to 20 (1:20) at a point in time. If you bought GBP1000 on the forex market at that moment, you would pay ZAR20000. If the exchange rate later fluctuated to 1:21, you would be able to sell GBP1000 for ZAR21000, meaning that you made a profit of R1000.”

Seems simple, doesnt it? Not so, says Procopos. “Bear in mind that trading is conducted online, which means that all transactions occur through computer networks, between one trader and another, rather than via a centralised exchange. Given its decentralised nature, forex trading is an easy way for unethical online traders to take the money of unsuspecting individuals, because it has low entry requirements, explains Procopos. ”This means that you can start trading with very little money, and so it is easy for these traders to show some evidence that they are actively trading.

Another reason that forex trading is susceptible to scammers is the matter of ‘leverage’. What is leverage? One law site explains: “This is basically a loan by the broker to the trader allowing the trader to trade at a margin. A typical margin ratio will be around 50:1, 100:1 or 200:1 depending on the amount of currency being traded. At 100:1 the trader only needs to put up £1000 to cover a £100,000 trade. The reason brokers provide such high leverage is because currency fluctuations in the forex market are not usually more than 1% during any trading. However, even with small fluctuations, high leverage attracts inexperienced traders who may think the Forex market is a get rich quick market.”

Leverage can be a double-edged sword. Its up to you as an individual to decide how you want to engage it, depending on your appetite for risk.

How to spot a forex scam

While it's possible to make money in forex, its important to be able to identify a scam, says Procopos. He cites a couple of red flags that you need to be on the lookout for:

The trader or broker approaches you first. It is illegal for them to approach you – you need to reach out to them, which indicates an interest to trade, and consent to being contacted

The independent trader or brokerage is based off-shore and cannot provide you with their FSP license (or you cant find the FSP license on their website)

You cannot seem to track down a human being at the brokerage

They request large amounts of money from you, and cannot seem to provide any live trading data

They make claims of outrageous returns or advertise unreasonably high win rates

As a benchmark, Procopos says that if up to 60% of your trades are profitable, you are considered to be successful. Be wary of those who promise significantly higher returns than this.

How to make forex trading work for you

While legitimate opportunities exist and trading can make you money, it takes a great deal of time and effort if you want to do it yourself. There are professional registered platforms and qualified, experienced brokers who will be able to assist you, says Procopos.

“Without experience, the reality is that most of your trades will be losses. You can lose more money than you had to begin with,” he adds.

For those interested in trading, Procopos says there are several things to keep in mind:

Engage an expert: Legislation passed recently made it mandatory for derivative brokers to obtain licences to trade forex, and potential clients are advised to look for traders that hold over-the-counter derivatives products (ODP) licence.

It is easy to conduct due diligence to ensure that you are dealing with a professional, registered trader or trading company – just ask them for their name, FSP and ODP license number or FAIS registration.

Secondly, and as a South African, it is advisable to trade only on a forex platform that is rooted in the country and has Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) ODP approval.

He concludes that if something looks too good to be true, it generally is. “The danger is that many people are using their pension or savings to trade, seeing this as an easy way out and losing their money in the process. Make sure you know all the facts before you lose money, in the hopes of gaining more.”

InvestmentFederal Reserve Raises Interest Rates To Help Combat Inflation by Khalifofi(op): 11:22pm On May 05, 2022
Abstract:The Federal Reserve System is the central banking system of the United States of America. It was created on December 23, 1913, with the enactment of the wikifx Federal Reserve Act, after a series of financial panics led to the desire for central control of the monetary system in order to alleviate financial crises. 

  The Federal Reserve System is the central banking system of the United States of America. It was created on December 23, 1913, with the enactment of the Federal Reserve Act, after a series of financial panics led to the desire for central control of the monetary system in order to alleviate financial crises.

  The Fed manages inflation, regulates the national banking system, stabilizes financial markets, protects consumers, and more. In its effort to address the current inflation crisis or situations, The Board announced plans to raise interest rates a quarter-point in the first hike since 2018. New York Times Dealbook editor Stephen Gandel and Kroll Institute global chief economist Megan Greene join CBS News' Lana Zak and Enrique Acevedo with their insights on the breaking news.

  It is obvious to observe that High inflation isnt going away. In fact, prices are going up at their fastest rate. Controlling inflation is one of the main tasks of the Federal Reserve. The February CPI inflation data serves as yet another reminder that the Fed has more than enough reasons to start raising interest rates and tightening monetary policy

  “I think the Fed will raise rates three to four times this year,” said Larry Adam, chief investment officer at Raymond James. “By the end of the year, inflation growth could be on a clear downward path and so the five-to-seven hikes that people are talking about wouldnt be needed.”

EducationWikifx’s Tips On Finding A Reliable Broker by Khalifofi(op): 12:00pm On Apr 27, 2022
Abstract:Protecting your capital is the number 1 golden rule in trading. However, getting on board with a wrong broker could trip you up before the game even begins. In order to protect our trading capital, there are a few factors to consider when choosing a right broker.
wikifx
  <WikiFX Malaysia Original – Editor: Fion>
  Protecting your capital is the number 1 golden rule in trading. However, getting on board with a wrong broker could trip you up before the game even begins.
  When you are looking to trade Forex, the first thing to pay attention to is to identify and get yourself a credible broker. The cases of forex broker scams are staggering with many unscrupulous brokers out there. In order to protect our trading capital, we must perform our own due diligence in choosing the right broker.
1.jpg
  WikiFX is a global forex broker regulatory inquiry website and we are specialised in filtering out unqualified brokers. Here are a few tips that we have compiled to make things easier for you:
  1) The authenticity of the regulatory license held
  At present, the most important and strictest regulatory licenses in the world are FCA in the UK, CFTC in the US, ASIC in Australia, FSA in Japan, and so on. In addition to these licenses, in order to provide investors with higher leverage, brokerage firms also hold licenses such as BVI, CySEC, and CIMA. If a brokerage firm holds one or more regulatory licenses, it means that it is more secure relatively.
  2) Deposit / withdrawal processes
  Generally, Forex brokerage firms various channels for deposits and withdrawals, such as credit cards, bank wire transfers, and PayPal. Traders should consider brokers that offer timely processing for both deposits and withdrawals that is within 1-3 working days.
  It is advisable to deposit a small amount of money first and try withdrawing it to see how the process is when one engages a new broker. WikiFX has come across many brokers that deliberately make it hard for traders to withdraw their cash and this type of broker is deemed unsafe by us.
  Another thing to check is whether there are any handling fees for each deposit and withdrawal transaction as well as an account inactivity fee. Some unethical brokers play by the loophole by not stating these fees clearly.
  3) Transaction costs
  Direct brokers make money through spreads, thus an investor should choose a broker that offers a small fixed spread to avoid the big changes in spreads when market volatility increases. The smaller the spread, the lower it is ones trading cost. However, do note that there are brokers that use low spreads as a marketing strategy to attract new clients but they are not necessarily safe nor reliable brokers.
  4) Responsive customer service team
  Find a broker that has customer representatives who are available at all times and are able to communicate in your choice of language. Most brokers right now offer 24/5 live chats for the convenience of their clients. You want to engage a broker that is readily available to solve your problems when a complicated situation arises.
  5) Types of accounts and instruments
  The majority of Forex brokers offer several account types coupled with different leverage levels and minimum deposit required to open a new account. The available trading instruments may also differ for each account type. Traders should choose their trading accounts and brokers like choosing a pair of comfortable shoes – they have to suit your preferences, fit your needs as well as be able to take you far in the long run.
  6) User experience and reviews
  What is more transparent and honest than reviews from real users who had experience dealing with a certain brokerage firm? On WikiFXs Exposure page https://exposure.wikifx.com/en/revelation.html, you can catch a glimpse of the unfiltered comments from users of different brokerage firms and match it with the corresponding information that we provide regarding the broker.
  Below is a real case study derived from WikiFXs Exposure page:
