Forex Signals

What are forex signals?

Forex signals are essentially any piece of information or news which can affect the forex market (i.e. the price of any given currency exchange market) positively or negatively. For example, when Greece, a member of the EU which trades Euros announced it was going to go bankrupt if other nations did not assist, it’s financial situation, it drove down the price of Euros. Depending on one’s strategy, one could have then bought Euros at the point which they thought was the lowest price of Euros, or sold their Euros immediately from the high price which they bought it to avoid losing money. Because this was such a drastic announcement, almost all currencies, (if not all currencies) gained on the Euro on that day, which is a defacto loss on the value of the Euro, and even the following 3 or 4 days.

Most forex signals will drive the market up or down by a tiny fraction of a percent from which people will gain or lose. This requires a high attention to detail since such drastic signals only happen a few times a year. To emphasize the point, in our example, we experienced the most drastic negative financial forecast by Greece which drove down the price of Euros vs all other currencies in full percentages. Usually, however, when dealing with forex, we are working with 1/1000 of a percent up to 1/100 of a percent or what’s called pips.

An example of a smaller signal which can affect a currency negatively or positively, is what major news outlets are broadcasting. The information, (“signal”) can be an opinion, a fact, or a mistake – it does not necessarily have to be true, false or corroborated, but rather, the trader can know that today CNN is publishing on their website a negative forecast for jobs by an independent polling service in the USA and this can certainly affect the value of the dollar. For this reason, it is imperative to have wide knowledge of what is currently being broadcasted by governments, tv networks news outlets, and even major websites in order to have the most up-to-date signals.

WHAT IS FOREX?

The foreign exchange market (forex, FX, or currency market) is a worldwide decentralized over-the-counter financial market for the trading of currencies. Financial centers around the world function as anchors of trading between a wide range of different types of buyers and sellers around the clock, with the exception of weekends. The foreign exchange market determines the relative values of different currencies.

The primary purpose of the foreign exchange market is to assist international trade and investment, by allowing businesses to convert one currency to another currency. For example, it permits a US business to import British goods and pay Pound Sterling, even though the business's income is in US dollars. It also supports speculation, and facilitates the carry trade, in which investors borrow low-yielding currencies and lend (invest in) high-yielding currencies, and which (it has been claimed) may lead to loss of competitiveness in some countries.

In a typical foreign exchange transaction a party purchases a quantity of one currency by paying a quantity of another currency. The modern foreign exchange market started forming during the 1970s when countries gradually switched to floating exchange rates from the previous exchange rate regime, which remained fixed as per the Bretton Woods system.

The foreign exchange market is unique because of its

huge trading volume, leading to high liquidity
geographical dispersion
continuous operation: 24 hours a day except weekends, i.e. trading from 20:15 GMT on Sunday until 22:00 GMT Friday
the variety of factors that affect exchange rates
the low margins of relative profit compared with other markets of fixed income
the use of leverage to enhance profit margins with respect to account size
As such, it has been referred to as the market closest to the ideal of perfect competition, notwithstanding market manipulation by central banks. According to the Bank for International Settlements, average daily turnover in global foreign exchange markets is estimated at $3.98 trillion, as of April 2007. $3.21 Trillion is accounted for in the world's main financial markets.

The $3.21 trillion break-down is as follows:

$1.005 trillion in spot transactions
$362 billion in outright forwards
$1.714 trillion in foreign exchange swaps
$129 billion estimated gaps in reporting
