to climate or even extreme such as wars, terrorism attacks, and others. Every single worldwide event
impacts the market and experienced traders know that this is the time when the profit potential is really
high.
Forex Currency Pairs
The most popular assets to trade on the Forex market are the currency pairs, such as EUR/USD,
GBP/JPY, and others. Every pair consists of two different. The first one is the Base Currency and the
other is the Counter Currency. When buying and selling, a trader deals with the Base Currency.
For example, if you want to buy GBP/USD, then you will buy Pounds and sell Dollars, meaning you are
expecting the Pound to rise and the Dollar to fall. Every transaction on the Forex market is double-sided
and performed with a buy/sell order.
Forex Margin
Margin is the difference between your capital and the amount you can invest. This is the amount of
collateral required by Forex traders to maintain their open positions on the Forex market. If an account
falls below the margin requirements, then all open positions are automatically closed and a client gets a
margin call via e-mail, when the margin indicator drops. For example, if a trader buys 20 000 EUR/USD
Forex
at Leverage
1% margin, they will need 200 EUR in their account balance in margin to open the position.
Leverage is a term in Forex which allows you to trade with a larger amount of currency than you have
deposited in your account. Trading with leverage is one of the most powerful Forex tools and is a great
way to exponentially maximize your initial investments. For example, if your margin is 1%, this means
that the leverage is 1:100, so you will need only $20 in real funds in order to buy $2000 worth of
currency on the market.
The technical analysis is presented as a chart and can be understood easily once the general idea is
grasped. One of the most popular tools that can be combined with technical analysis is TRENDS
(link). Traders are able to predict the future movements of the price with exceptionally high
accuracy.
Technical Analysis works for Forex well because it has the largest volume of data, but the same
tools and analysis can be applied in other markets as well. A lot of Bitspotrade traders analyse by
using this method a large variety of assets, which are spread into different markets – Commodities,
Equities, and others.
All information about the stock markets is immediately included in the Forex charts and prices.
With today’s well-developed and advanced technology it is almost impossible for Forex markets to
show any discrepancies or older data. All markets are constantly monitored by supercomputers
around the world and even there’s a small possibility that an incorrect data has been released
publicly, it is usually fixed in a matter of milliseconds. This is really important for technical analysis
because, in order to get the best possible results and maximum accuracy, traders need large amounts
of correct information, delivered on a regular basis.
A great challenge for traders is to determine whether a currency pair (or any other asset in that
matter) is trending or not. That’s where technical analysis comes in hand, showing if there’s really a
trend or not. Looking back in the history of an asset’s price, using this type of analysis, traders draw
a line between two important price points in the past (usually the point at which the price stopped
falling and started rising and vice-versa). By using this tool, it can be determined where the trend
has started, for how much it could keep going and eventually when it may be ending
Trend Lines Page
Plotting a trend line on a Forex chart gives very valuable information. Not only will the
trend line show a current trend (direction) of the price move, it will also depict points of
support and resistance levels for the market price.
In addition, it will also help to determine good entry and exit points, best positioning for
profit taking and placing protective stops. This very simple, but yet quite powerful tool,
will be one of the crucial indicators of a possible trend reversal (when the market price
starts to move in the opposite direction).
So, shall we learn how to draw trend line to make it our good friend in profitable forex
trading?
In the uptrend market, the trend line is drawn below the pattern formation; in the
downtrend it is drawn above it. (That is why when the trend is going to change, our trend
line will be crossed, which will therefore give us a signal that the price may start moving
in another direction.)
In the uptrend, the Forex trend line is drawn through the lowest swing-points of the price
move. Connecting at least two “lowest lows” will create a trend line.
In the downtrend, a trend line is drawn through the highest swing-points of the price
move. Connecting at least two “highest highs” will create a trend line.
A trend line confirms its validity when the price respects this line. The more “lowest
lows” / “highest highs” the trend line contains, the stronger it becomes.
Fundamental Analysis Page
Forex traders often use a variety of economic data to determine where a given country’s economy
and currency may be headed next. This data may include: Gross Domestic Product (GDP), imports,
exports, employment, unemployment, growth, debt and many other factors. Collectively, these
factors are often referred to as the fundamentals. Therefore, fundamental analysis refers to the
analysis of any data, as well as the actual price patterns of the currency itself. The price patterns
frequently impact on the value of the currency on the Forex market.
Supply And Demand
The value of responds to changes in supply and demand. For example, if the demand for US Dollars
rises, so will the value of the Dollar (USD). Likewise, if there are too many Dollars available on the
market their value will drop along with the demand.
Forex Currency Pairs
Forex are traded in pairs – one value either drops or rises in comparison to another. are
represented by a three-letter abbreviation such as USD, JPY or EUR. In the currency pair, the first
currency is called the base currency and the trailing is called the quote currency. The price at any
given moment shows how much of the quote currency is needed to equal one unit of the leading
or base currency.
For example: When the EUR/USD pair is priced at 1.5000, this means that it takes 1.5 US Dollars to
exchange for 1 Euro. If the Euro rises in value, then the EUR/USD price will also rise as more US
Dollars are needed to buy each Euro. Likewise, if the Euro drops in value, then the price of the
EUR/USD pair will also drop as fewer US Dollars are now required to equal each Euro.
The value of the leading or base Forex currency is not the only factor in determining the value of a
particular currency pair. Any change in the value of the trailing or quote currency also affects this
relationship.
So, in the same example, if the US Dollar now rises in value, then the EUR/USD pair would drop as
fewer Dollars are now needed to buy each Euro. If the US Dollar drops in value, then the EUR/USD
price would rise, as more US Dollars are now required to equal each Euro.
Interest Rates
Another key factor that influences the value of a given currency is the constantly changing interest
rate. Interest rates are determined by the central bank of a particular country.
Central banks are always caught in a delicate balancing act. If a country’s currency gets too strong,
its exports become too expensive and other countries may look elsewhere.
Higher interest rates also tend to attract more foreign investments, which is why the currency of
that country frequently goes up with the interest rates. Meanwhile, cheaper interest rates tend to
stimulate lending inside the country and therefore economic growth.
Macroeconomic Indicators
Do not confuse Gross Domestic Product with Gross National Product (GNP). GDP includes only
goods and services produced within the geographic boundaries of a country, regardless of the
producer’s nationality. GNP does not include goods and services produced by foreign enterprises
but does include goods and services produced by national firms operating in foreign countries. For
example, if a U.S. firm was operating a chain of stores in France, the goods and services produced
by those stores would not be included in the GDP but would be included in the GNP. As the global
economy grows, the difference in GDP and GNP is decreasing for developed countries like the U.S.
But for smaller, developing countries, the difference can be substantial.
BEIGE BOOK
The Beige Book is part of the Federal Open Market Committee’s preparations for its meetings and
is published eight times a year. The report is released on two Wednesdays before each FOMC
meeting at 2:15 pm EST. The book is a summary of economic conditions in each of the Fed’s
regions. The report is mostly seen as an indicator of how the Federal Reserve might act at its
upcoming meeting.
FACTORY ORDERS
The indicator signals industrial demand on durables and non-durables. An increase in the reading
indicates a possible growth in production activity, while a decrease signals a phasedown. That is
why the currency rate rises on increases and falls on decreases. This indicator includes Durable
Goods Orders and Non-durable Goods Orders. The Durable Goods Orders indicator includes goods
with intended lifespan of more than 3 years (cars, furniture, building materials), which make more
than 50 of the total. Non-durable goods orders include food, clothes, light industrial goods etc. The
Factory Orders report characterizes production activity. Increase in the indicator is a positive factor
for the economy, while decrease in the indicator signals a downturn.
ZEW SURVEY
ZEW Survey is the main indicator of investors’ confidence. It is calculated on basis of 350 analysts’
and institutional investors’ poll. The indicator reflects the difference between analysts who are
optimistic about forthcoming economic development of Germany within six months and those who
are pessimistic. If most of respondents are optimistic, the reading is above zero, if pessimistic —
below zero. Example: if thirty analysts are optimistic, thirty are neutral and forty are pessimistic, the
reading will make -10. The survey is used for German economic prospects estimation. ZEW Survey
growth triggers the euro growth.
PERSONAL INCOME
Personal Income measures households income from all sources before personal income tax is paid.
It includes rental income, interest income, government subsidy payments, dividend income, etc.
Personal income indicates future consumer demand. It is reported together with Personal Spending.
Personal income increase may trigger growth in retail sales, which is a positive factor for economic
development and provoke USD rise.
CHICAGO PMI
Chicago PMI is the result of Chicago industry purchasing managers polling. It characterizes
manufacturing orders, output prices, and inventories. The readings below 50 indicate an economic
recession. The index is very closely watched. It has a significant impact on the market because it
can give an idea of what will be the ISM Manufacturing Index. The report is released on the last
business day of each month at 3:00pm (GMT).
HOUSING STARTS
This indicator reflects the rate of growth in housing construction. The Housing Starts report acts as
an indicator measuring the strength of a construction sector and housing market. Economists also
use the figure as a leading indicator for the economy as a whole due to Housing Starts’ sensitivity to
changes in the business cycle. The number of housing starts dwindles at the onset of a recession and
quickly grows at the beginning of an economic boom; consequently, a high Housing Starts figure
forecasts strong economic growth.
CONSUMER CONFIDENCE
Consumer Confidence is a measure of popular sentiment regarding an economy. The figure is
derived from a survey that asks thousands of consumers about personal expenditure patterns and
inflationary expectations. In general, rising consumer confidence precedes increased consumer
spending, which drives both economic growth and inflation.
A headline figure above 50 shows positive consumer sentiment, while a number below 50 shows
negative consumer sentiment; the greater the distance is, the stronger the sentiment is.
There is also a harmonized CPI (HICP). This is an indicator of inflation and price stability for the
European Central Bank (ECB). It is a Consumer Price Index which is compiled according to a
methodology which has been harmonized across the EU nations. The HICP is produced by each
European Union country to help measure inflation and to guide the ECB in shaping its monetary
policy. The HICP is also used as the basis of the European Index of Consumer Prices that is
weighted towards household expenditures.
EMPLOYMENT INDICATORS
One of the key macroeconomic indicators is the Unemployment Rate, which is the percentage of
unemployed workers above 18 years in relation to the total labor force. It is based on a survey of a
random sample of about 60,000 households, 375,000 plants. The unemployment rate is calculated
by dividing the number of unemployed by the number in the labor force, where the labor force is the
sum of the unemployed and the employed. The natural rate of unemployment is considered to make
about 4-5% of the labor force. It is treated as an indicator of possible inflationary pressure through
wages increase. Salary is considered to grow faster with low unemployment rate, especially in case
inflation acceleration is expected.
There are also such reports as the Average Workweek and Average Hourly Earnings. It should be
kept in mind that the work force is not the entire population; it is a subset of people that meet certain
criteria. The unemployment picture is a key gauge of the health of the economy while the Average
Hourly Earnings figure impacts inflation.
Non-Farm Payrolls, known as Non-Farm Employment Change, is a fundamental indicator, which
measures jobs added in the previous month. The report excludes farm-related jobs because they tend
to be seasonal general and not necessarily indicative of employment trends. In addition to these
standard reports, the U.S. statistical authorities also publish a weekly Initial Jobless Claims report
on the number of people filing for unemployment benefits for the first time. These numbers help to
take the pulse of the job market. Another crucial report on employment in the U.S. is the ADP
National Employment Report that estimates the changes in U.S. employment using payroll data for
over 500,000 firms from Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (ADP). This information is compiled by
Macroeconomic Advisors, LLC into a report showing aggregate numbers, as well as segments
defined by companies’ size, goods versus services, and manufacturing vs non-manufacturing firms.
CURRENT ACCOUNT
Current Account is the sum of the balance (i.e., net revenue on exports minus payments for
imports), factor income (earnings on foreign investments minus payments made to foreign
investors) and cash transfers. The current account balance is one of two major measures of the
nature of a country’s foreign trade (the other being the net capital outflow). A current account
surplus increases a country’s net foreign assets by a corresponding amount, and a current account
deficit does the reverse. Both government and private payments are included in the calculation. It is
called the current account because goods and services are generally consumed in the current period.
TANKAN SURVEY
To compose a survey, about 8-10 thousand businessmen from different economic spheres are
polled. The companies, among which 10-15 are large enterprises, 30-35 — medium-sized
enterprises, 50-55 small enterprises, are asked about 1) business environment, 2) production and
sales, 3) demand and supply, 4) prices level, 5) gains, 6) direct investments, 7) employment, 8)
fiscal conditions. Top managers are polled separately. Estimation methods: Diffusion Index (DI) —
«Favourable» minus «Unfavourable», % points, percent change — change of the index in relation
to the same period of the previous year. The survey increase signals improving economic
conditions and is favourable for the JPY rise.
CAPACITY UTILIZATION
This indicator measures the degree of industrial capacity utilization. This is the ratio of total output
to the maximum-rated capacity. It shows the current state of the economy. The optimal value of this
indicator is 81.5%. The value more than 85% signals that the economy is overheated. A lower value
implies a weakening currency and economy
PHILADELPHIA FED INDEX
The index surveys about 100 manufacturers from Philadelphia, the U.S., which indicates their
attitude towards the current economic situation and perspectives for the nearest six months. The
index signals growth slowdown when it is below zero. This index can indicate what to expect from
the ISM Index (Institute of Supply Managment’ index), which comes out a few days later. This
index increase triggers USD rise.
PERSONAL SPENDING
Personal Spending is a comprehensive measure of how much consumers spend each month,
counting expenditures on durable goods, consumer products, and services. A healthy Personal
Spending figure means that consumers are buying goods and services, fueling the economy and
spurring output growth. The report is particularly valued for forecasting inflationary pressures.
Taken in excess, these high levels of consumption and production may lead to an overall increase in
prices. Indeed, the Fed uses a measure of inflation derived from the PCE as their primary gauge of
inflation.
On the other hand, persistently low Personal Spending may result in decreasing levels of output and
an economic downturn.
BUILDING APPROVALS
The indicator represents a number of domestic building permits granted for the month. Strong
growth in new approvals and permits indicates a growing housing market. Because real estate
generally leads economic developments, housing tends to thrive at the start of booms and wane at
the onset of recession. The figure can be used with others to forecast future growth in the economy
as a whole. A strong housing market also tends to lead consumer spending. The headline number is
the seasonally adjusted percentage change in new building approvals from the previous month.
While used home sales are not counted in GDP, they do affect the U.S. economy. Sellers of used
homes often use capital gains from property sales on consumption that stimulate the economy.
Higher levels of consumer spending may also increase inflationary pressures, even as they help
grow the economy.
The Existing Home Sales report is not as timely as other housing indicators like New Home Sales or
Building Permits. By the time the Existing Home Sales is released, market conditions may have
changed.
TRADE BALANCE
Trade Balance is the difference between imports and exports of goods. Trade deficit indicates that
imports of goods are greater than exports. When exports are greater than imports, there is a trade
surplus. Trade surpluses indicate that funds are coming into a country in exchange for exported
goods.
The balance of trade is sometimes divided into a goods and a services balance.
Trade balance forms part of a current account.
