Here are some key features that are the source of the success of this market
for example: EUR / USD, AUD / JPY or USD / JPY. It referred to as the first of the two currencies currency base currency while the second currency referred to as the secondary currency. The accuracy rate of up to 1/10000 two currencies (ie until 4 right of the decimal) numbers; with the exception of the Japanese Yen, where the degree of accuracy of up to 100/1 (ie, the second number right of the decimal). Price is always made up of two numbers. The first number is always the offer or sale price, and the second is the demand or the purchase price.
for example :
Supply / demand
The offer or sale price, which is the currency offered for sale exchange rate. Demand or the purchase price is the currency exchange rate to buy them.
The price of the currency pair is as follows: EUR / USD (euro against the US dollar) 1.5034 / 1.5037 In other words, the price of two currencies EUR / USD 1.5034 / 1.5037, where 1.5034 is the offer price (sale) and 1.5037 is the asking price (purchase). In other words, if you want to sell the currency in circulation, in which case the euro, you'll get to $ 1.5034 per euro. On the other hand, if you buy the currency in circulation, The price shows you buy the euro against the US dollar, and you'll need to pay $ 1.5037 per 1 euro.
Croaker
The croaker is the standard unit size of the transaction represents a minimum quantity that can be traded at a certain support.
In currency trading, the size of the unit standard in Markets.com is 1,000 units for the price of currency traded Home.
In trading contracts, unit size standard in Markets.com ranging from one unit up to 500 alone.
Point (Pip)
It is the smallest value of the currency and the price can vary with different currencies. For most currency pairs The point (Pip) is the fourth number after the decimal mark. However, in Japanese yen pairs, the point (Pip) is the second number after the decimal mark.
Profits can be expressed through the points (Pips), for example: Suppose you you open a long position on EUR / USD is at a price of 1.5016 and closed the deal (that you sell) at a price of 1.5037. 21 = 16-37 meaning it gained 21 points (Pip).
The point value Pip Value
It can point value Pip Value be variable or fixed, depending on the currency pair referred to (any currency) to measure your account. Also, the point value Pip Value is a function carried out by the amount of rolling it.
The simplest way to calculate the value of a pip Pip Value is to divide a single point 1 pip on the exchange rate, and hit her in the lot size. This gives you a point value Pip Value traded currency. If the base currency different account for currency in circulation, is simply you can hit this currency at the exchange rate applied.
For example: what is the point value of the Pip Value of the trading sterling / yen at a price of 128.92 pounds? The point value of the Pip Value of one standard lot (5000) GBP / JPY is trading at 128.92:
0.01 / 128.92 = 0.00007756 GBP
0.00007756 x 5,000 = 0.387 GBP
The base currency of your account is the US Dollar Trading. If the pound / dollar exchange rate is 2.0612, the value of the point Pip Value of one standard lot for the core of the coin is: 0.387x2.0612 = $ 0.80
Points difference (Spread)
It's the difference between the bid price (sale) price and demand (purchase). For example: If the price of the euro / US dollar currency pair 1.5034 / 1.5037 (or in other words, if the offer price of 1.5034 and 1.5037 price request), in this case the difference in points (spreads) 3 points (Pips). Simple points difference ensures that the trader entry and exit of the better deals.
Margin
Deposit is required to open or maintain a deal, and is usually a percentage of the transaction open. It is possible to have a margin requirement for a value of 0.5%, which means that in order to keep a bargain 100,000 euros / USD, you preserve the value of the account of 500 euros or more.
Leverage
This is the use of borrowed capital to increase the potential return. Trading on top of money raised means that you can trade amounts significantly higher than your account balance, according to which only the margin. The rise of leverage may increase the potential return, but it may also lead "to increase potential losses. Determine the financial as leverage, such as 100: 1. This means that a trader can be trading higher amounts to 100 times the amount available margin account. If had a rolling 10-thousand dollars in his account, instead "of trading Plaut ten US dollars thousand / JPY, and pip point value, for example," almost $ 0.9 ", can now trading at US $ 1 million point pip worth about $ 90" American. "
Interest
Interest is the price of money. It is the amount paid on loans and deposits received from.
rise of
The rolling upward vector is expected to increase the price when buying a currency pair

Roll the position tax
It is the process to extend the deal for another value date, and charge fees, "according to the" interest rate difference for the two currencies. This is a day and at 21:00 GMT, the extension of open positions for the next day and the gain or loss depends deal on the interest rate difference between the currencies sold and purchased.
If you purchase a pair of currencies in which the interest rate of the currency of the primary is higher than the interest rate of the currency secondary, then you will gain benefit. The reverse is also true.
Types of trading orders
Forex and CFD trading contracts for the orders
There are different types of commands that can be used for a trader to trade in the foreign exchange and contracts for the CFD market. The following is a brief explanation of the different types of orders: market orders, stop loss / profit-taking, orders Future entry, stop loss and a mobile command cancels other OCO.
Market orders
The market order is the sale or purchase of a current or request a quote order. The price usually refers to the quoted price that appears on the Altdaol.mn program could be a deal that a new purchase order or close the sale transaction exist. It is possible that the sale is new or closing a deal to buy exist.
An example is the market: The current market price - to buy the dollar is (asking price) - is 1.0555 and price to sell the dollar (the offer price) - is 1.0551.
Stop loss / profit-taking
Stop loss and take profit orders are protective orders to close a deal or transaction Future open under certain conditions, namely price.
Use stop loss limit rolling losses if the market went against the deal rolling orders. Rolling determines the maximum loss (in terms of points) certain transaction. In the event of the arrival of the market for this price, close the deal.
Conversely, profit-taking orders used to determine the closing price of the deal at a profit when the market moves in favor of rolling. Rolling determines the price at which it wants to shut his deal.
In the example below, the deal has been opened on the price of 1.0561 (purchase). By stop-loss order, it will close the deal if the price dropped and reached 1.0553. According to profit-taking order, will close the deal if the price rises of up to 1.0565.
Future orders
These are the types of orders open a trade only if it has reached a new market for the price set by rolling
Entry is divided into two commands:
Determine access - Access orders to identify orders are orders issued by rolling to enter the market at a better price than the current price. When you buy a currency pair or a CFD, is determining entry will be under the current market price. When selling, is determining entry will be higher than the current market price.
When put to identify entry orders, the trader expects that the market price will rebound upon his arrival to determine the price of entry that has been developed by rolling.
for example :
Current price for the pair USD / CAD is 1.0547 / 1.0551. Here, we expect the pair to rise, but prefer to enter the market at a better price than the current price - you expect the price to drop first to reach 1.0525 before continuing to rise. In this case, you select an entry order at a price of 1.0525 the size of a lot of (USD / CAD5,000 (1.0525 when the price of the purchase will be opened up on the price set by the deal.
Stop access - orders that the suspension orders are orders set by traders to enter the market at a lower price than the current price advantage. Ordered to stop the entry of purchase is placed above the current market price. Ordered to stop selling entry is placed below the current market price.
When you select a stop entry order, the trader expects that when the price reaches a certain price, the market will continue in the same direction
for example:
Current price for the pair USD / CAD is 1.0553 / 1.0557. You expect that the pair is heading to the top. Also he believes that when the arrival of the pair to the 1.0600 price, will rise at least 50 points. Then, enter the command will put a deal to buy a 20-lot (100,000) for the pair USD / CAD on the price of 1.0600.
Animated stop loss orders
Animated stop loss orders are a stop loss set by the rolling by a certain number of points of entry price orders. Stop-loss order automatically moves with the market moves, but only if the market moves in favor of rolling.
For the third:
If you have a long position on the pair USD / CAD at 1.0552 and price has identified a moving stop loss is 30 points, will be implemented in mobile stop order if the price dropped and reached 1.0522 (1.0552 - 1.0522 = 0.030)
If the market rises and bringing them to the price of 1.0565, will rise a stop loss moving point by point and will be executed at a price of 1.0535 (1.0565 - 1.0535 = 0.030)
If the price dropped by 30 points from 1.0565 price to the price of 1.0535, will be the implementation of the suspension order. If the price continues to rise, it will rise with him moving stop order to reap the biggest profits.
Command cancels the other (OCO)
OCO orders that includes both of which - stop loss order and ordered to lock in profits, when one of the orders is executed, the other order is canceled automatically. You may use OCO orders on your trades and open to new deals.
For example, believes that the pair USD / CAD Rolling currently priced at 1.0548 / 1.0552, will continue to be on the upside, also believes that if price break 1.0560, will rise at least 50 points. However, you also expect that the price will fall to 1.0544 before price rise. In this case you place an order determining access at a price of 1.0544, but in the case that the price not reached thou will lose the deal. So also developing an OCO order to buy the pair USD / CAD upon the arrival of the pair for the price of 1.0544 or 1.0560. Upon arrival price for one of these two rates will be implemented in the process.
Stop loss and profit taking, which is determined on the open positions orders, it is also OCO orders. When one of the two things are executed, the other order is canceled automatically.
