Horario del Mercado Forex por Países.


Las bolsas del mundo y el mercado fórex se manejan bajo horarios bastante estrictos de apertura. Sus jornadas oscilan alrededor de 8 a 10 horas de operaciones al día de lunes a viernes. Este dato es importante porque es cuando se dan la mayor movida de precios entre los mercados. Se trata del momento en el que los valores aumentan o disminuyen.


Durante los sábados y los domingos son días de la semana donde también se registra actividad de compra y venta. No obstante, tienen un comportamiento particular: los precios se congelan. Entran en un momento de regularidad de costo que es correlativa con el último precio con el que cerró el día viernes. Incluso, podría bajar los precios en ciertas circunstancias.


El caso del mercado fórex y la compra de acciones en internet son aún más peculiares porque, de algún modo, los mercados nunca cierran. Aunque la plataforma impone sus propios horarios de trabajo, los inversionistas siguen haciendo sus movidas de dinero permanentemente. Las bolsas del mundo (como la de Nueva York, por ejemplo) sí cierran sus actividades en su totalidad.


¿Por qué es importante saber sobre las horas de trading de Forex?


La importancia de los horarios de mercado fórex se centran en el comportamiento de su formato. ¿Cómo es eso exactamente? A diferencia de la bolsa tradicional, que ejerce operaciones en horarios laborales y de oficina, el fórex trabaja las 24 horas, de lunes a viernes.


El mercado de divisas tiene un comportamiento apodado como Over The Counter (OTC). Esto significa que la participación de todos los fórex del mundo se ejecuta en simultáneo. Del mismo modo, los spreads varían sus costos en función de la actividad de bolsas mundiales.


Un dato importante a considerar para las divisas es que la bolsa opera en relación con los bancos y entes financieros en el ámbito local. Los fórex, siguiendo los principios de las redes electrónicas de comunicación (o ECN en inglés) tienen su propio comportamiento dentro de la bolsa, más dinámico y con operaciones horarias más extensas. Por consiguiente, se establece una red de intercambio no centralizada de comerciantes y trader en todo el mundo. Se genera, de ese modo, un nuevo tipo de bolsa de valores internacional.


Tres temporadas básicas de trading de fórex.


Como todos los países no se manejan bajo los mismos horarios o divisas de manera simultánea y homogénea, se ha creado una suerte de temporadas al día para invertir. Los mismos intentan, de un modo u otro, hacer que la actividad financiera opere en horarios relativamente estables-correlativos y que se comuniquen uno con los otros.


La apertura y clausura se los fórex del mundo se rigen bajo este cuadro que se presenta a continuación:


Zona Horaria GMT EST Tokio Apertura 0:00 7:00 PM Tokio Cierre 9:00 4:00 AM Londres Apertura 8:00 3:00 AM Londres Cierre 17:00 12:00 PM USA Apertura 13:00 8:00 AM USA Cierre 22:00 5:00 PM.


Como se puede vislumbrar a simple vista, existe alguna correlatividad en los horarios, donde la bolsa comienza a operar en una zona horaria donde, en otros sitios, abre algunas horas más tarde. Sin embargo, en determinado punto todas coinciden.


Eso lo preparan de esta manera porque el mercado de finanzas y la bolsa es de carácter global. La compra-venta de acción de estas bolsas se dan a nivel global. Intervienen diferentes países y empresas en estas acciones. Idealmente, todas las bolsas deberían abrir y cerrar lo más próximas posibles unas con las otras.


Las mejores horas de trading.


¿Sabías que existen días y horas que convienen para hacer negocios en la bolsa? En efecto. Según sea la hora, podrías ver mejores o peores resultados en el manejo de determinadas acciones.


Si seguimos de manera más detallada el cuadro de los horarios y las divisas, veremos que todos coinciden con la hora reloj de la bolsa europea (en este caso la del Reino Unido). Este es uno delos mejores horarios para comerciar nuestras propias acciones. Al haber un mayor índice de compradores (porque coinciden todos los traders al mismo tiempo) las probabilidades de que el interés por determinado producto podría crecer significativamente.


Asimismo, en cuanto a compras, los fines de semana parecen un horario atractivo. Los precios cambian significativamente porque la actividad se reduce. Anexamos otro cuadro que respeta una comparación de precios que sigue la misma fuente de la tabla anterior:


Día EUR USD GBP USD USD CHF USD JPY Domingo 24 31 36 25 Lunes 92 110 141 95 Martes 102 128 162 104 Miércoles 101 123 158 106 Jueves 83 98 121 77 Viernes 80 96 117 72.


Primeramente, vemos cómo los precios suelen aumentar entre martes y miércoles. Asimismo, los fines de semana el precio baja radicalmente. Como hemos apuntado previamente, este comportamiento se debe por el decrecimiento del público adquisidor los fines de semana o la inactividad comercial en muchos sectores de la economía.


Por consiguiente, a modo de conclusión, entendemos la preponderancia de los horarios al momento de hacer trading en fórex en cualquiera de sus formatos. Los valores de las acciones se ven marcadamente influidas por el día y el momento en que coincidan las bolsas del mundo. Por último, es fundamental hacer el contraste entre la bolsa y el fórex. Mientras que el primero se somete a horarios rígidos, el fórex abre un número de posibilidades financieras muy amplio.

Horarios mercados forex

¿Cual es la mejor hora para invertir en Bolsa?


El mercado no opera activamente las 24h. Si bien es cierto que hay transacciones durante todo el día, es normalmente siempre a la misma hora del día cuando se concentra la gran mayoría de los clientes de dichos mercados.


Mejor horario para hacer Scalping e Intradia.


La mejor hora para hacer scalping e intradía la marca la volatilidad.


Todos o casi todos los días ocurre lo mismo:


8:30h (hora de España) abre Londres y volatilidad sube. A partir de las 11:30h la volatilidad cae. 14:00h pre-apertura mercado americano y volatilidad sube. 17:30h cierre mercado europeo y volatilidad cae.


Por tanto, podemos concluir que las mejores horas, según la volatilidad, son:


Por la mañana, de 8:30 a 11:30. Por la tarde, de 14:00 a 17:30. A partir de las 17:30 no es recomendable operar.


Horas Clave del día.


A las 8:30h se produce la preapertura de Londres , que abre a las 9:00. A las 11:00h,se publican datos macroeconómicos . A las 14:30h se producen los datos macroeconómicos . A las 15:30h abre el mercado americano . A las 16:00h se producen los datos macroeconómicos . A las 17:30h Cierran los mercados Europeos.


Estratégia en Apertura de mercado.


Hay que evitar los primeros 15 minutos de apertura de los mercados europeos y americanos, más o menos desde las 8:50 y las 9:30.


La razón es muy sencilla: para el trader principiante tiene un riesgo elevado de pérdidas durante los primeros 15 minutos que, una vez pasados estos, el mercado se empieza a estabilizar.


Durante estos 15 minutos, puede subir o bajar muchísimo y es muy difícil salir perdiendo con estas operaciones.


La clave reside en que si desde las 9:30 a las 11:30 el DAX sigue una tendencia alcista o bajista, a partir de esa hora se produce el efecto contrario, es decir, si hay un movimiento alcista de 9:30 a 11:30, entonces a partir de esa hora se producirá un movimiento bajista, y viceversa.

Trading Hours in TWS.


Regular Trading Hours (RTH) refers to the regular trading session hours available for an instrument on a specific exchange or market center. Regular hours vary between instruments, exchanges, and days of the week. For example, the Regular Trading Session hours for NYSE-listed stocks runs from 09:30 EST – 16:00 EST Monday through Friday.


Regular Trading Hours may be a subset of the instrument’s total trading hours. For example, for NYSE-listed stocks the Total Available Hours are 04:00 EST – 20:00 EST.


We display all available trading hours for every instrument in TWS.


Liquid Trading Hours.


For products that don’t officially list Regular Trading Hours - for example the E-mini S&P 500 futures on Globex which trades from 17:00 – 15:15 the following day, then again from 15:30 – 16:00 - IB has determined "Liquid Trading Hours" during which the contract has historically been more liquid, and will only allow stop-variant orders on Globex futures to trigger during this LTH time period.


View Trading Hours in TWS.


To see trading hours, right-click a data line for an instrument in any tool, and select Contract Info then Description. The Trading Hours section on the bottom left shows the regular session and total trading hours available. Click the Calendar link to display a pop-up with today’s hours highlighted, and the hours for the entire current week.


Outside Regular Hours.


TWS displays a small clock icon in the Time in Force field, with a mouse-over description of the currently indicated trading hours for an order for instruments that support filling or triggering of orders outside of regular or liquid hours. Hold your mouse over the icon to see hours during which the order will be active.


Click the icon to view and select other valid times-in-force and "outside hours" options for the order.


For Globex futures, you can specify that you want to allow the order to trigger outside of Liquid Trading Hours by checking the "Trigger outside RTH" checkbox.


The new mouse-over description reflects your selection and the clock icon shows a yellow warning triangle to notify you that the order is eligible to fill or trigger outside its regular hours.


Setting "Outside Hours" for Orders as a Preset.


You can elect to allow an order to trigger or fill outside hours as the default using Order Presets.


Outside Regular Hours as a Default.


Use Order Presets to tell TWS to always enable "Fill outside RTH" on, for example, all US stock orders or all futures orders. To set this in a preset, open Global Configuration and in the Presets section select Stocks. Check "Allow order to be activated, triggered or filled outside of regular trading hours (if available)." Click OK to save the setting.


The next time you initiate a stock order, you’ll see that the clock icon includes the yellow warning triangle to indicate it is eligible to be active outside the regular session. You can disable this by unchecking the box from the Time in Force drop down.

EUR USD.


A operação em Euro/Dólar é o método com o qual a maioria dos traders começam no FOREX. Existem várias razões pelas quais o par EUR/USD é o mais popular no mercado de câmbio.


Algumas delas são:


Os Estados Unidos e a União Europeia são duas das principais economias do mundo. O dólar continua sendo a moeda de reserva por excelência (saiba mais sobre o dólar index) e, apesar das últimas crises financeiras, não deixou de ser uma opção segura. O euro, desde sua criação em 1999, é a segunda principal moeda de reserva, ficando atrás apenas do dólar. Ele ocupou o lugar do tradicional e agora extinto marco alemão como moeda de referência. Essas duas moedas são as mais frequentes no mercado exchange. Por isso é mais fácil obter informações e análises técnicas sobre elas nas movimentações cambiais.


Tudo isso faz com que o par EUR/USD seja o mercado de moedas mais negociado. A alta liquidez em movimentações dessas duas moedas nasceu de duas vantagens imediatas, seja para quem está começando no FOREX, seja para os operadores com extensa experiência no mercado cambial.


As duas vantagens são:


Menos volatilidade do que outros pares, isso é importante, principalmente para os traders inexperientes no mercado exchange, pois facilita a gestão de risco. Menor spread. O spread EUR/USD é o mais baixo no mercado de câmbio, fazendo com que as duas moedas sejam sempre mais baratas nas negociações envolvendo outros câmbios.


Apesar dessas duas vantagens, vários fatores devem ser observados para conseguir operar com sucesso em EUR/USD. Alguns deles são:


Escolher o melhor horário para operar. Conhecer as principais datas de publicação de notícias, seja em sites ou até mesmo na TV, que afetam o preço do par EUR/USD. Estar informado sobre as variáveis macroeconômicas que afetam o dólar e o euro. Definir uma estratégia de trading e ser disciplinado.


Esses fatores devem ser levados em conta para operar a curto (day-trading simulator), médio e longo prazo. É importante ressaltar que alguns desses fatores merecem mais atenção por parte dos operadores, algo que varia conforme a estratégia. Alguns são essenciais para traders diários, enquanto outros são fundamentais em negociações de longo prazo.


Por exemplo, para os operadores que negociam diariamente, conhecer e escolher as melhores horas para operar é fundamental. Enquanto isso, nas operações de médio ou longo prazo, as variáveis macroeconômicas das duas moedas são os fatores mais importantes a considerar.


Consegue ver uma oportunidade de negociação?


O melhor horário para operar Euro Dolar.


Durante as 24 horas de negociação, podemos diferenciar dois intervalos de tempo com características muito diferentes nas duas moedas aqui analisadas.


O primeiro intervalo começa com a abertura do mercado de Londres, sempre às 7h00 no fuso GMT, e termina no fechamento deste mesmo mercado, às 16h00 GMT. É importante notar que a abertura de Nova York ocorre às 12h00 GMT. Ou seja, a abertura do mercado de Londres se sobrepõe às primeiras horas de negociação de Nova York.


Durante esse primeiro intervalo, algumas das principais notícias que afetarão a cotação da dupla EUR/USD serão publicadas.


É importante saber duas informações importantes sobre essa movimentação em horários diferentes:


A maior parte da publicação de dados econômicos relevantes sobre o euro ocorre entreA maior parte da publicação de dados econômicos relevantes sobre o euro ocorre entre 7h e 10h no fuso horário GMT. Os dados econômicos mais importantes dos Estados Unidos costumam ser divulgados antes da abertura da Bolsa de Nova York.


Esses dois fatores indicam que a diferença na abertura dos mercados de Londres e de Nova York, além das publicações de dados econômicos, fazem com que a cotação do EUR/USD tenha maior volatilidade e spreads acima do normal. Isso acontece entre as 7h00 e as 16h00, sempre no fuso GMT. Desse modo, há mais possibilidade de obter benefícios e também de correr maiores riscos.


O segundo intervalo começa com o encerramento do mercado de Londres, ás 16h00 GMT, e abrange o restante da operação de Nova York. O mercado nos Estados Unidos encerra apenas às 20h00 GMT.


Existe também o intervalo em que apenas o mercado de Tóquio está operativo.


Durante as horas de atividade na Ásia, a volatilidade é menor e a variação das cotações fica mais restrita. Mesmo que os benefícios potenciais sejam menores, é mais fácil adotar estratégias de intervalo de trading, pois durante esse tempo as linhas de suporte e de resistência da dupla EUR/USD são geralmente mais bem definidas.


A diferença entre os dois intervalos principais pode ser vista no gráfico em seguida, que representa o preço por hora das moedas EUR/USD entre 26 e 30 de abril de 2022:


Neste gráfico, o retângulo sombreado em vermelho indica o período entre as 7h00 e as 16h00 GMT, enquanto o retângulo sem sombreamento indica o horário da Ásia.


No volume de negociação identificado na parte inferior do gráfico, os picos produzidos na abertura do mercado de Nova York foram indicados com uma seta azul.


Horário ocidental – Horário asiático. Alta volatilidade – Volatilidade reduzida. Volume de negociação muito alto: spreads mais baixos – Volume de negociações menor. Maior benefício potencial – Menor benefício potencial. Maior risco – Mais fácil limitar o risco.


Como podemos ver, as moedas EUR/USD oferecem duas possibilidades de trading online bem definidas. A programação dependerá do perfil do operador.


Datas-chave afetam a cotação do par Euro/Dólar.


Como dito anteriormente, o par EUR/USD é o que mais gera notícias e publicações na mídia graças à relevância das duas moedas. As maiores empresas do mundo, por exemplo, estão sempre negociando com esses dois câmbios, incluindo o Brasil.


No entanto, existem algumas datas importantes que todos os operadores dessas duas moedas precisam anotar e manter guardadas na agenda. Afinal, esses períodos específicos são marcados pelo aumento na volatilidade das moedas, ou então pelas mudanças antecipadas na tendência do EUR/USD para o futuro a curto, médio ou longo prazo.


Publicação do relatório sobre folhas de pagamento não-agrícolas (Nonfarm payrolls)


Uma das datas importantes é a divulgação deste relatório. Ele apresenta a taxa de criação de emprego nos Estados Unidos, sem contar apenas o setor agrícola, que costuma ter contratações acima do normal nos períodos de colheita. Um dado positivo sobre a taxa de emprego afeta positivamente o preço do dólar.


Essa é a publicação que mais afeta o FOREX. Portanto, para tentar antecipar o possível impacto no mercado, é comum acompanhar a evolução de outros indicadores relacionados. Um desses indicadores é o ISM da produção industrial (ISM Manufacturing Index).


O relatório de folhas de pagamento não-agrícolas, também chamado de “Nonfarm payrolls”, é publicado na primeira sexta-feira de cada mês, sempre às 8h30 (horário de Nova York).


Resultado das reuniões do Banco Central Europeu e do Federal Reserve.


Outro período importante ao qual se deve ficar atento é o que compreende as reuniões do Banco Central Europeu e do seu homólogo nos Estados Unidos, o Federal Reserve. Esses dois órgãos comandam a política monetária do euro e do dólar, respectivamente, por isso são tão importantes para o mercado exchange. As decisões tomadas nesses encontros, fundamentalmente aquelas que têm impacto sobre as taxas de juros, têm grande influência na percepção do mercado sobre a força de uma moeda em relação à outra.


As datas dessas reuniões são publicadas com muita antecedência. Enquanto o Banco Central Europeu costuma realizar duas reuniões por mês, o Federal Reserve se reúne oito vezes por ano.

Variáveis macroeconômicas que afetam o EUR/USD.


Como em qualquer par de moedas, a evolução da cotação EUR/USD será determinada pelo resultado da força de uma moeda contra a outra. Como visto no ponto anterior, esse equilíbrio de forças se traduz em aumentos na volatilidade a cada dia, coincidindo com as publicações de informações importantes.


A médio e longo prazo, a tendência da cotação das moedas, ou seja, a força de ambas, será influenciada por uma série de variáveis macroeconômicas.


Crescimento do Produto Interno Bruto (PIB) e taxa de desemprego. A moeda cuja economia tem taxa de crescimento do PIB mais elevada e menor taxa de desemprego tenderá a se valorizar em relação à outra. Taxas de juros. Quando todos os fatores são iguais, a moeda com taxas de juros mais altas tenderá a se valorizar em relação a seus pares. Inflação. Uma economia com inflação elevada terá expectativas de taxas de juros crescentes, o que poderá fortalecer a moeda local.


Se você quer negociar com o par EUR/USD, é necessário controlar a evolução do comportamento dessas variáveis nas economias americana e europeia:


Crescimento do PIB Taxa de desemprego Taxas de juros Inflação.


Estratégia Euro Dolar – Exemplo.


Operar em qualquer mercado sem definir uma estratégia prévia é operar aleatoriamente. Isso também se aplica às negociações com o par EUR/USD. Cada operador deve escolher uma estratégia de acordo com o tipo de negociação, levando em conta o nível de risco que será aceitável.


Apenas como exemplo, vamos explicar a estratégia da faixa de negociação, que é simples de aplicar e pode ser adaptada muito bem às negociações envolvendo EUR/USD. As etapas para definir essa estratégia são:


Identifique no gráfico de preços um movimento lateral do par EUR/USD entre uma faixa de preço definido. No exemplo usamos o gráfico diário do EUR/USD entre os meses de fevereiro, março e abril do ano de 2022.


Desenhe duas linhas paralelas para estreitar o intervalo em que queremos desenvolver nossas operações. Essas linhas são as linhas azuis escuras. A linha superior corresponde ao preço de 1,2446 e a inferior ao preço de 1,2240. Defina os níveis de stop loss tomando em conta os picos do preço e o risco que queremos assumir na operação. Uma vez definido, desenhe os mesmos no gráfico. Estes níveis correspondem às linhas laranja desenhadas acima e abaixo das anteriores: 1.2506 e 1.2193 respetivamente. Dê as ordens de negociação de acordo com este esquema:


– Se o preço estiver na linha azul inferior, a ordem seria para compra com o stop loss na linha laranja inferior.


– Se o preço estiver acima da linha azul acima, a ordem seria para venda com o stop loss na linha laranja superior.


Nestas ordens também definiríamos o nível de saída de acordo com a relação lucro/perda que queremos assumir.


Vamos ver isso com um exemplo:


Registe-se hoje na AvaTrade e torne-se o operador que deseja ser.


No ponto indicado com uma seta verde, a ordem de compra seria aberta a um preço de 1,2240 e com um stop loss de 1,2193. A maior perda aceitável seria, portanto, 47 pips. Se procurarmos a recompensa máxima dada pela faixa de preço, definiríamos o preço inicial em 1,2446 (linha azul superior), com o qual o objetivo de lucro seria (1,2446-1,2240) = 206 pips. A taxa lucro/perda seria da ordem de 4: 1 (206/47).


No entanto, poderíamos assegurar mais a operação com um objetivo de saída no valor médio do intervalo: 1,2343. Este objetivo teria uma probabilidade maior e manteria uma relação de lucro/perda da ordem de 2: 1 (103/47). Neste caso, de acordo com a evolução posterior da cotação, teríamos assegurado o encerramento da operação.

Horário Forex - Melhores horas para negociar no mercado Forex.


Saber o horário ideal para operar é fundamental para que você possa elaborar uma boa estratégia de negociação pois, não adianta, por exemplo, você estabelecer uma estratégia de negociação de alta frequência (scalping), e tentar executá-la em um horário onde o mercado esteja pouco volátil.


Então, neste artigo, você aprenderá todos os detalhes sobre os horários do Forex como, por exemplo: quais os horários dos principais pregões de Forex, como a transição para o horário de verão afeta os horários de negociação no Forex, quais os melhores horários para negociar no Forex, e muito mais.


O Mercado Cambial Está Aberto 24/7?


O mercado Forex tem seu funcionamento durante 24 horas por dia e isso se torna uma excelente oportunidade para Traders poderem operar a qualquer momento.


Para facilitar a compreensão, sempre que nos referirmos a algum horário, neste artigo, estaremos nos referindo ao horário GMT (Greenwich Mean Time), ou seja, o fuso horário de número zero.


Assim, basta você converter para seu fuso horário local. Por exemplo, se você estiver no Brasil sabe que a maioria das regiões possui o fuso horário GMT -3.


Mas mesmo sendo um mercado aonde se considera que o período de funcionamento é de 24 horas, o Forex fecha aos fins de semana. Geralmente, às sextas-feiras, às 21 horas GMT, o mercado Forex fecha e só vai reabrir no domingo, às 21 horas GMT. Mas esses horários podem ter pequenas alterações dependendo da corretora que você utilize. O ideal é deixar 2 horas de margem para não operar em momentos de pouca volatilidade próximos ao fechamento e à abertura dos mercados.


Também existem regras específicas para o funcionamento do mercado em feriados internacionais. Para isso, é necessário que você consulte o calendário de operações na sua corretora Forex.


Por que é Importante Conhecer os Principais Pregões?


Mas talvez você esteja se perguntando como é possível um mercado funcionar 24 horas por dia. E a resposta é bem simples: As principais corretoras mantém escritórios operacionais em três principais regiões: Japão, Europa e América.


Assim, o escritório do Japão inicia os negócios do dia e, no encerramento de suas atividades, transfere as operações para o escritório europeu que, por sua vez, transfere suas atividades para o escritório americano no final do expediente.


E o escritório americano transfere suas operações novamente para o escritório japonês no fim do dia, fechando assim o ciclo operacional. Dessa forma é possível ter um mercado que funciona 24 horas por dia.


Então, como mencionamos, existem três principais pregões de Forex: Tóquio, Londres e Nova Iorque.


E um detalhe muito importante é que, em alguns momentos, esses fusos horários das três principais sessões de negociação, acabam se sobrepondo.


Ou seja, existe um período aonde o mercado japonês está próximo do encerramento, mas ainda aberto, e o mercado europeu abre. Existe outro período quando o mercado europeu está aberto e ocorre também a abertura do mercado americano.


Esses são os momentos quando existe a sobreposição de horários no mercado Forex.


Quais São os Principais Pregões de Forex?


Abaixo, vamos listar de forma simplificada os principais pregações de Forex e seus respectivos horários de abertura e encerramento de atividades:


Sessão Asiática (Tóquio/Sidney): Abertura às 22 horas GMT. Não é muito recomendável para Day trade.


Sessão Europeia (Londres): Abertura às 8 horas GMT e fechamento às 17 horas GMT. Nesse período, os melhores pares para se operar são aqueles que possuem as seguintes moedas: EUR, GBP e USD.


Sessão Americana (Nova York): Abertura às 13 horas GMT e fechamento às 22 horas GMT. Nesse período, os melhores pares para se operar são aqueles que possuem as seguintes moedas: USD, EUR, GBP, AUD e JPY.


Qual é o Melhor e o Pior Momento Para Negociar?


Você, provavelmente, já deve ter percebido que os melhores momentos para se operar é quando ocorrem as sobreposições nos fusos horários do mercado Forex.


Pois é exatamente nesses momentos que existem a maior quantidade de operadores, e também a maior probabilidade de ter uma alta volatilidade.


Também São nesses horários que geralmente os governos costumam publicar seus indicadores econômicos, o que sempre gera uma boa volatilidade no Forex e, consequentemente, mais oportunidade para realizar operações.


Então, você deve ficar atento aos horários que interferem os pares de moeda que você está operando, bem como as notícias daqueles países que poderão influenciar na relação do par.


Por exemplo, se você estiver operando o par USD/JPY deverá ficar atento aos horários onde o mercado americano e o japonês estão abertos, e também às notícias do calendário econômico que interferem nessas duas economias.


Na prática, qualquer horário é excelente para operar no Forex desde que você escolha o par ideal para aquele momento.


Uma forma bem simples e direta para você confirmar se aquele horário é ideal para operar o par que você escolheu, é observando a relação do spread (diferença entre o preço de compra e o preço de venda) do par de moedas.


Os horários onde o par de moedas possui o menor spread são os melhor momentos para se operar, pois um spread menor indica que existem mais operadores naquele período.


Por outro lado, um spread maior do que o normal indica que existem poucos operadores naquele horário e, por isso, é melhor evitar operar aquele par de moedas.


De forma geral, a recomendação padrão é que você opere nos períodos onde o mercado americano e o mercado europeu estão abertos. Pois esses são os mercados principais que influenciam a maioria dos pares de moedas.


A Transição Para o Horário de Verão Afeta o Forex?


Como muitos países adotam o horário de verão, é muito importante que você fique atento para essas alterações, caso ocorram com países dos quais você opera os pares de moeda.


As alterações no horário de verão afetam, inclusive, os calendários econômicos. Então, você precisa observar e atualizar seu calendário econômico para não ser pego de surpresa por uma notícia que saiu uma hora antes do que você estava esperando, por estar com o calendário atrasado.


Conclusão.


O Forex oferece muitas oportunidades, mas é fundamental que você conheça todos os detalhes que possam interferir no seu plano de trade. E o conhecimento dos horários de negociação, é fundamental se você quiser se tornar um Trader Profissional em Forex. Neste artigo, você aprendeu todos os detalhes que precisa saber sobre os horários de negociação do Forex.

Executing Trades.


The trading activity in the platform implies forming and sending market and pending orders to be executed by a broker, as well as managing current positions by modifying or closing them. In the platform, you can view your account trading history, configure alerts of market events and much more.


Opening Positions #


Opening a position or entering the market is the primary purchase or sale of a certain amount of a financial instrument. In the trading platform, this can be done by placing a market order, as a result of which a deal is executed. A position can also be opened as a result of a triggered pending order.


Placing an Order and General Parameters #


There are several ways to call a dialog window for order creation:


Select a symbol in the Market Watch and click " New order" in its context menu. Press the F9 hot key. In the order window, a symbol will be inserted in accordance with the platform settings. Click " New order" in the Tools menu or " New order" on the Standard toolbar.


General order parameters:


Symbol — the financial instrument for which the deal is performed. Type — if one of the execution modes is selected in this field, a market operation is executed for the selected instrument. Otherwise, a pending order of the selected type is placed. Volume — order volume in lots. The greater the deal volume, the greater its potential profit or loss, depending on where the symbol price goes. The deal volume also affects the margin reserved for the position on the trading account. Stop Loss — the Stop Loss level as a price or distance in points from the price specified in order, depending on the platform settings. The level is set to limit the position loss. If you leave the null value in this field, this type of order will not be set. Take Profit — the Take Profit level as a price or distance in points from the price specified in order, depending on the platform settings. The level is set to lock in profits of the position. If you leave the null value in this field, this type of order will not be set. Comment — an optional text comment to an order. The maximum comment length is limited to 31 characters. The comment appears in the list of open positions and also in the history of orders and deals. A comment to an order can be changed by a broker or server. For example, if a position is closed by Stop Loss or Take Profit, the corresponding information is displayed in the comment.


There is a convenient way to modify prices, volumes or Stop Loss and Take Profit levels by a certain amount: Holding "Shift", — by 5 points; Holding "Ctrl", — by 10 points; Holding "Ctrl"+"Shift", — by 50 points. A tick chart can be shown or hidden in any order placing window. To do this, double-click on the window. The trade window displays the current best Bid and Ask price. Upon order execution, an appropriate massage about an open position is added to the Trade tab of the Toolbox window, as well as the order and the deal (or deals) executed for the order are added to the History tab. If Stop Loss or Take Profit are specified incorrectly in the order, upon pressing the button, the "Invalid stops" alert appears and the order is not accepted.


Click Buy to send a buy order or Sell to send a sell order.


Once an order is sent, its execution results appear in the window — a successful trade operation or a reason why it has not been executed. If One Click Trading is enabled in the platform settings, upon successful order execution the trading window closes without notifying of execution results.


Let's look at trading features in different execution modes now. It depends on the instrument type and the broker.


Trading in the Instant Execution Mode #


In this mode, the order is executed at the price offered to the broker. When sending an order to be executed, the platform automatically adds the current prices to the order. If the broker accepts the prices, the order is executed.


If during order processing the price changes by an amount greater than that specified in the "Deviation" field, the dealer (server) can refuse to accept the order and offer new execution prices. A corresponding message appears in the creation window in this case:


If you agree with the new prices, click "Accept", and the order is then executed at the new prices. If the new price is not good, click "Reject".


New prices are valid for a few seconds only. If you do not make a decision during this time, message "Price changed" appears in the window. Click "OK" to get back to the original order placing window.


Deviation is the difference between the order execution type and the specified price to which a trader agrees. The larger the value, the less likely it is that you receive a new execution price (requote) in response to the order execution request. If the deviation is equal to or less than this value, the order is executed at the new price without any notification. Otherwise, a broker returns new prices, at which the order can be executed.


Trading in the Request Execution Mode #


In this mode, the market order is executed at the price previously received from the broker. Prices for a certain market order are requested from the broker before the order is sent. Upon receiving the prices, order execution at the given price can be either confirmed or rejected.


Order parameters can only be modified before requesting the prices. Once the request is sent, a trader can only place an order with the pre-set parameters.


To receive prices, click on "Request". After that "Buy" and "Sell" buttons appear in the window. Quotes offered after the request are valid for a few seconds. If you cannot decide during this time, buttons "Buy" and "Sell" again get hidden.


Trading in the Market Execution Mode #


In this order execution mode, a broker makes a decision about the order execution price without any additional discussion with the trader. Sending an order in such a mode means advance consent to its execution at this price.


In the 'Fill Policy' additional order filling rules can be specified: "Fill or Kill" or "Immediate or Cancel". If this field is inactive, then the option is disabled on the server.


When the "Sell by Market" or "Buy by Market" button is pressed, an order to execute a sell or buy deal at the broker's price is sent to a broker.


Trading in the Exchange Execution Mode #


In the 'Fill Policy' additional order filling rules can be specified: "Fill or Kill" or "Immediate or Cancel". If this field is inactive, then the option is disabled on the server.


A click on "Sell" or "Buy" creates an order to a broker to execute a Sell or Buy deal respectively.


For more information about trading in the exchange execution mode read "Depth of Market".


Managing Positions #


An important aspect of trading in financial markets is the competent position management. The trading platform provides all the necessary tools for that.


Where Can I View Current Open Positions? #


The list of currently open positions is displayed in the Trading tab of the Toolbox window.


A list of open positions:


Ticket — position ticket. Unique number assigned to each newly opened position. It usually matches the ticket of an order used to open the position except when the ticket is changed as a result of service operations on the server, for example, when charging swaps with position re-opening. Symbol — a financial instrument of the open position. ID — the position ID in an external trading system (for example, on the exchange). The display of this parameter can be disabled depending on your broker's settings. Time — position opening time. The record is represented as YYYY.MM.DD HH:MM (year.month.day hour:minute). Type — position type: "Buy" — long, "Sell" — short. Volume — trade operation volume (in lots or units). The minimum volume and its change step are limited by a brokerage company, the maximum amount — by the deposit size. Price — the price of a deal, as a result of which the position was opened. If the opened position is a result of execution of several deals, then this field displays their weighted average price: (price of deal 1 * volume of deal 1 + . + price of deal N * volume of deal N) / (volume of deal 1 + . + volume of deal N). The accuracy of rounding of the weighted average price is equal to the number of decimal places in the symbol price plus three additional characters. S/L — Stop Loss level for the current position. If this order has not been placed, a zero value is displayed in this field. T/P — Take Profit level for the current position. If this order has not been placed, a zero value is displayed in this field. Price — the current price of the financial symbol. Bid price is displayed for short positions, while Ask price is used for long ones. The price of the last performed deal (Last) is displayed for the positions of exchange symbols (both directions). Value — the market value of the position. The value is calculated as the product of the opening price and the contract size. Swap — amount of swaps charged. Profit — the financial result of the trade taking into account the current price is written in this field. A positive result indicates the profitability of the deal, negative indicates loss. Change — a percentage change in the asset price at the operation execution moment. Positive and negative values are colored in blue and red, respectively. Magic — the value specified by a trading robot when opening orders and positions (Expert Advisor ID)


A list of placed pending orders:


Symbol — a financial instrument of the pending order. Order — ticket number (a unique identifier) of the pending order. ID — the order ID in an external trading system (for example, on the exchange). The display of this parameter can be disabled depending on your broker's settings. Time — pending order placing time. The record is represented as YYYY.MM.DD HH:MM (year.month.day hour:minute). Type — pending order type: "Sell Stop", "Sell Limit", "Buy Stop", "Buy Limit", "Buy Stop Limit" or "Sell Stop Limit". Volume — volume requested in the pending order, and volume covered by the deal (in lots or units). Price — price reaching which the pending order will trigger. S/L — the level of the Stop Loss order. If this order has not been placed, a zero value is displayed in this field. T/P — the level of the Take Profit order. If this order has not been placed, a zero value is displayed in this field. Price — the current price of the financial symbol. Bid price is displayed for short orders, while Ask price is used for long ones. The price of the last performed deal (Last) is displayed for the orders involving exchange symbols (both directions). Comment — comments on the pending order are added in this column. A comment can only be written when placing an order. The comment cannot be changed during order modification. In addition, a comment on a trade operation can be added by a broker. State — in the last column, the current state of a pending order is displayed: "Started", "Placed", etc.


Trading account state:


Balance — money on the account, results of currently open positions not included (deposit). Credit — amount of credit money that the broker has given to a trader. Assets — the current value of purchased financial instruments (of long positions) defined in a trader's deposit currency. The value is determined dynamically based on the price of the latest deal of the financial instrument, taking into account the liquidity margin rate. In fact, the amount of assets is equivalent to the amount of money that the trader would receive in case of immediate closure of long positions. This rate is used on the exchange markets. For more details please read the appropriate section. Liabilities are obligations on current short positions calculated as the value of these positions at the current market price. In fact, the amount of liabilities is equivalent to the amount of money that the trader would pay in case of immediate closure of short positions. This rate is used on the exchange markets. For more details please read the appropriate section. Commission — commission by orders and positions accumulated during a day/month. Depending on commission charging terms (determined by a broker), a preliminary calculation of commission is performed during a day or a month. The corresponding amount of funds is blocked on the account and is shown in this field. The final commission calculation is performed at the end of a day/month and the appropriate sum is withdrawn from the account in a balance operation (displayed as a separate deal in the "History" tab), and the blocked amount is unblocked. If a commission is charged immediately during execution of a deal, its value is added to the "Commission" field of a deal in the History tab. Blocked — under certain trading conditions (determined by a broker), a profit taken during a day cannot be used to perform trade operations (is not included in the free margin). This blocked profit is displayed in the "Blocked" field. At the end of the trading day, this profit is unblocked and deposited to the account balance. Equity — equity is calculated as Balance + Credit - Commission +/- Floating profit/loss - Blocked. Margin — money required to cover open positions and pending orders. Free Margin — the free amount of money that can be used to open positions. It is calculated as Equity - Margin. Depending on the trading conditions (defined by a broker), the equity value may or may not consider: floating profit, floating loss or floating profit and floating loss together. Margin Level — percentage of the account equity to the margin volume (Equity / Margin * 100). Total of deals — total financial result of all open positions.


The account state line is highlighted with the red color, if the account is in the Margin Call or Stop Out state.


The following position parameters are displayed here: financial instrument, type, volume, current profit/loss and more. Additionally, the current state of the trading account and the total financial result of all open positions is shown here.


The summary information about the state of assets of all open positions is available on the "Exposure" tab.


The name of the currency or financial instrument.


The volume (in units) of a trader's position for the currency or financial instrument including leverage.


Instrument or currency exchange rates in the deposit currency.


The amount of deposit currency (excluding leverage) actually spent to buy/sell the currency or trading instrument.


The graphical display of the position in the deposit currency (long positions are displayed with blue bars and short positions are displayed with red ones).


To switch between the information on short and long positions click on the diagram title.


The displayed account assets for the deposit currency take into account the free margin.


The platform adapts the display of assets depending on the risk management system applied to a trading account: Retail Forex, Futures or Exchange model.


The Assets section is helpful for those trading Forex or futures at an exchange showing their current status on the market. Same currencies can be found in a variety of different symbols: as one of the currencies in a pair, as a base currency, etc. For example, you may have oppositely directed positions on GBPUSD, USDJPY and GBPJY. In this situation, it is very difficult to understand how much currency you have and how much you need. Having more than three positions further complicates the task. In this case, the total account status can be easily seen in the Assets tab.


Let's use the same three positions as an example:


Buy GBPJPY 1 lot at 134.027 — received 100 000 GBP, given 134 027 000 JPY Sell USDJPY 1 lot at 102.320 — given 100 000 USD, received 102 320 000 JPY Sell GBPUSD 1 lot at 1.30923 — given 100 000 GBP, received 103 920 USD.


We have bought and sold 100 000 GPB simultaneously. You have 0 GBP, and the Assets tab does not display this currency. As of USD, we gave a currency in one case and received it in another. The Assets tab calculates the final outcome and adds it to the current balance since the deposit currency is USD as well. JPY participated in two deals meaning that the tab displays its total value.


Those using the exchange model can use the section to understand how their money is used. Unlike the previous model, the funds are withdrawn/added right when deals are performed. For example, if you buy EURRUB, you receive EUR at once while the appropriate sum in RUB is withdrawn from the balance. During trading, the account balance may even become negative: when you use borrowed money while purchased assets are used as the collateral. In this case, the Assets tab allows you to easily understand the trading account status.


Additionally, you can see the liquidation value here — amount of funds on the account and the price (result) of closing all current positions at the market price.


How to Secure Positions by Stop Loss and Take Profit #


Take Profit and Stop Loss are additional orders attached to a position or a pending order. In fact, they are instructions for a broker to close a position when the price reaches a certain level. Take Profit is set to lock in profits when the price moves in a favorable direction. Stop Loss is intended for limiting losses if the price moves in an unfavorable direction.


Of course, traders can monitor their positions on their own or using a trading robot. However, this approach has several disadvantages:


A trader cannot be all the time in front of the monitor to control positions. This is not true for the robot. However, it runs on a user's PC. Accordingly, the Expert Advisor cannot manage its positions in case of a computer failure or server connection loss (Internet problems).


Take Profit and Stop Loss help to solve these problems. These orders are associated with a trade position, they are stored and executed on the broker's server, and therefore do not depend on the performance of the trading platform.


Orders of this type can also be attached to pending orders: Limit, stop-and stop-limit. A position, which opens as a result of pending order triggering, inherits Take Profit or Stop Loss specified in the order. If the triggered pending order relates to a financial instrument, for which an open position exists, this position is modified: its volume is increased or decreased. The Stop Loss and Take Profit specified in the order are used in this case. If zero values are specified in the order, the appropriate levels of the position are removed.


There are several ways to modify stop levels:


Using the position modification dialog. Using a mouse on a chart of the financial instrument the position is open for. Using the context menu on a chart of the financial instrument the position is open for.


Position Modification #


To modify the stop levels of a position, click " Modify or delete" in its context menu on the "Trade" tab.


In the resulting window, the levels can be modified in two ways:


Set the new values in the fields "Stop Loss" and "Take Profit"; Set level values as a number of points from the position opening price.


Then Click "Modify. ".


The "Modify. " button is inactive until the Stop Loss and Take Profit are set correctly. The terms of stop levels are determined by the broker and are specified in symbol properties (contract specification). A double click on the position modifying window shows/hides a tick chart.


Position modification can also be accessed from the position context menu on a char:


Managing Stop Levels from a Chart #


Modification of Stop Loss and Take Profit on a chart is only available if the "Show trade levels" option is enabled in the platform settings.


To modify the level on a chart, left-click on it and drag the level up or down to the required value holding the mouse button (Drag'n'Drop):


Once a level is set, the position modification window appears allowing users to adjust the level more precisely.


Modification of Stop Loss and Take profit on a chart is disabled if you enable the "Disable dragging of trade levels" option in the platform settings.


Placing Stop Levels from a Context Menu #


If an open position is available for the instrument of the chart, its stop levels can be set from the "Trade" submenu of the chart's context menu:


The price for the stop order is set according to the current location of a cursor on the chart price scale. Depending on the position open price and its direction, appropriate commands for placing Stop Loss or Take Profit appear in the menu.


The command opens the order modification window, where the price can be adjusted manually.


If One Click Trading is enabled in the platform settings, stop orders are placed at a specified price instantly without displaying the trading dialog.


What Is a Trailing Stop and How to Set It #


Stop Loss is used for minimizing losses if the security price moves the wrong direction. Once a position becomes profitable, its Stop Loss can be manually moved to a break-even level. Trailing Stop automates this process. This tool is especially useful during a strong unidirectional price movement or when it is impossible to monitor the market continuously for some reason.


Trailing Stop is always associated with an open position or a pending order. It is executed in the trading platform rather than on the server like Stop Loss. To set a Trailing Stop, select "Trailing Stop" in the context menu of a position or an order in the "Trading" tab:


Select the desired value of a distance between the Stop Loss level and the current price. Use the " Set custom level" button to set Trailing Stop manually:


For each open position or pending order only one Trailing Stop can be set. Trailing Stop operation is described in details in a separate section.


How to Increase or Decrease the Volume of a Position #


Increase or decrease of position volume depends on the position accounting system adopted on the trading account.


For one financial instrument only one position can exist at any given time. Differently directed positions (buy and sell) are not allowed.


Thus, if you execute a trade operation to buy 1 lot of a financial symbol, and there is an open 1-lot sell position, the position is closed.


If you have a 1-lot buy position and execute a trade operation to buy one more lot of the same instrument, you will have one position of 2 lots. The open price is recalculated in this case — the weighted average open price is calculated: (Price of the 1st deal*Volume of the 1st deal + Price of the 2nd deal*Volume of the 2nd deal)/(Volume of the 1st deal + Volume of the 2nd deal).


The same is true for an opposite deal. If you have a 1-lot buy position and execute a trade operation to sell 0.5 lot of the same instrument, you will have one buy position of 0.5 lots.


Multiple open positions of the same symbol can simultaneously exist on the trading account, including oppositely directed ones (Buy and Sell).


The volume of an existing position cannot be increased.


To partially close a position, click "Close Position" in the context menu of the appropriate position. Next enter the value of the volume to close and click "Close. ".


How to Analyze Your Entries on the Chart #


In trading it is important to evaluate the correctness of market entry and exit moments. This can be conveniently done through the graphical representation of executed deals on the symbol's price chart.


Choose an open position or a trade on the Trade or History tab, and click "Show on Chart" in the context menu: Next, click "Add [Symbol Name] Deals". Appropriate deals will be displayed on all currently open charts of the selected symbol. If there are no open charts for the selected symbol, a new chart will be opened. The "Show trading history" option can also be enabled in chart properties.


Deals are marked on charts with icons (a Buy deal) and (a Sell deal). When you hover the mouse cursor over an icon, a tooltip appears containing information about the deal: ticket, deal type, volume, symbol, open price and current price coordinate of the cursor.


To enable the display of all history deals on charts, enable the "Show on Charts \ Auto Update" option in the context menu or "Show trade history" in platform settings.


Closing Positions #


In order to profit from exchange rate differences, it is necessary to close the position. To close a position, a trade operation opposite to the first one is executed. For example, if the first trade operation was buying one lot of GOLD, one lot of the same security must be sold to close the position.


A position can be closed fully or partially, depending on the volume of a trade executed in the opposite direction. To close a position in the netting system, you should perform an opposite trading operation for the same symbol and the same volume. To close a position in the hedging system, explicitly select the "Close Position" command in the context menu of the position.


To close an entire position, double-click on it or use the command " Close Position" in its context menu on the "Trade" tab.


Upon clicking "Close. " the position is closed.


If you want to close a part of the position, enter the volume to close in the "Volume" field. In the Request Execution mode, the price must be requested before you close a position.


Close by #


This operation allows closing two opposite positions of the same symbol. If the positions have different volumes, only one position will be left open. Its volume will be equal to the difference between the volumes of two closed positions, and the direction will correspond to the larger position.


In contrast to separate closure of two positions, the Close By operation saves the trader one spread:


When closing positions separately, the trader pays spread twice: when closing the Buy position at a lower price (Bid), and when closing Sell at the Ask price. In the Close By operation, the open price of the first position is used to close the seconds one, and the first one is closed at the open price of the second position.


This type of operation is only available in the hedging position accounting system.


Click twice on a position or select "Close Position" in its context menu on the Trade tab. In the Type field select "Close By":


Select an opposite position and click "Close".


During the Close By operation an order of the "close by" type is placed. Tickets of positions to close are specified in its comment.


A pair of opposite positions is closed in two "out by" deals.


The total profit/loss resulting from the close by operation is only specified in one deal.


Bulk position closing #


The trading platform allows closing all positions at once in a couple of clicks. For example, you may want to promptly take the profit in case om an important news release. To do this, use the "Group operations" item in the context menu of the Trade section:


The list of available commands is formed automatically, depending on the selected operation and on your account type.


The following commands are always available in the menu:


Closing all positions on hedging accounts, the system tries to close positions by opposite ones (Close By), and then it closes the remaining positions following a regular procedure. Close all profitable or all losing positions.


If you select a position, additional commands appear in the menu:


Close all positions for the symbol. Close all positions in the same direction (on hedging accounts). Close opposite positions for the same symbol (on hedging accounts). If there is no opposite operation to close the position, it will remain open. Position reversal (on netting accounts). For example, if you run this command for a EURUSD buy position with a volume of two lots, you will obtain a EURUSD sell position with the same volume of two lots. In this case, a deal of four lots will be executed on your account: two lots to close the current positions and two lots to open an opposite position.


These commands are only available if One Click Trading is enabled in platform settings.


Placing of Pending Orders #


A pending order is the trader's instruction to a brokerage company to buy or sell a security in future under pre-defined conditions. For example, if you want to sell EURUSD at 1.10800, but the price has not risen to that level yet, you do not have to wait. Place a pending order and the broker will perform it, even if the trading platform is closed at that point.


Stop Loss and Take Profit can also be specified in a pending order. They will be set for the position that opens based on the order.


Six types of pending orders are available in the platform.


Placing a Pending Order and General Parameters #


A pending order can be placed in different ways:


Select a symbol in the Market Watch and click " New order" in its context menu. Press F9. In the order window, a symbol will be inserted in accordance with the platform settings. Click " New order" in the Tools menu or " New order" on the Standard toolbar.


After that, in the order placing window select "Pending order" in the "Type" field and the necessary symbol in the "Symbol" field:


Type — pending order type Volume — order volume in lots. Price — the price at which the pending order should trigger. For stop and limit orders, it is the price at which they will be placed. For Stop Limit orders, this is the limit order activation and placing price at the level specified in "Order Price". Stop Loss — the Stop Loss level. If you leave the null value in this field, this type of order will not be set. Expiration — order expiration terms: Good Till Canceled (GTC) — the order is in the queue until it is manually removed; Today — the order is only valid during the current trading day; Specified — the order is active until the date indicated in the "Expiration Date" field; Expiration date — the order is valid until 00:00 of the specified day. If this time appears to be out of a trade session, the expiration will be processed at the nearest trading time.


Fill policy — additional filling rules for limit and stop limit orders: "Fill or Kill", "Immediate or Cancel" or "Return". If this box is unavailable, then the option is disabled on the server. Stop Limit — this field is only active for Stop Limit orders. When the Stop Limit order triggers, a limit order will be placed at the price specified in this field. Take Profit — the Take Profit level. If you leave the null value in this field, this type of order will not be set. Expiration date — in this field the order expiration date is specified, if the "Specified" or "Specified day" is selected for the order expiration condition.


The "Place" button is inactive if any of the parameters is incorrect. Stop Loss and Take Profit orders only trigger for open positions, not for pending orders. A comment to an order can be changed by a broker or server. If the "Fill Policy" and "Expiration" fields are inactive, it means that the possibility to change them is disabled on the server.


Placing Limit Orders #


Limit orders are placed in the expectation of price "rollback". The trader expects the price reaches a certain level, for example support or resistance, and then moves in the opposite direction.


These orders are executed at a price equal to the specified one or better than that. Accordingly, no slippage occurs during order execution. The downside of these orders is that their execution is not guaranteed, since the broker may reject an order if the price goes too far in the opposite direction.


Here is how we can place a Buy Limit order.


In this example, the price is at the level of 1.25350, and the trader places a limit order to buy at the price of 1.24620 expecting that the price will reach the support level of 1.24453 and will continue to move upwards.


It is the opposite for Sell Limit orders. They are placed in anticipation that the price will rise to a certain level and will go down.


Placing Stop Orders #


Stop orders imply expected breakthrough of certain levels. The trader expects the price to reach a certain level, break it through and move on in the same direction. The trader assumes that the market has reversed, having reached the support or resistance level.


When such an order triggers, a request to execute a corresponding market order is sent to a broker. The order is executed at the price equal to the specified one or worse than that. In other words, if the market price goes opposite, the order will be filled with a slippage. However, unlike limit orders, the execution of stop orders is guaranteed.


In this example, the price is at the level of 1.28190, and the trader places a stop order to sell at the price of 1.27600 assuming that the market has reversed at the level of 1.28260 and will move downwards.


It is the opposite for Buy Stop orders. They are placed assuming that the market has reversed, and the price will rise.


Placing Stop Limit Orders #


This is a combination of a stop and a limit order. If the price reaches the stop price, a limit order is placed. This type of orders is used when a trader wants to set a stop order and limit the slippage.


In the example below, a stop-limit order is placed with the expectation that the price will reach the resistance level 1, will roll back from it, and then will rise to the resistance level 2.


How to Quickly Place an Order from the Chart #


Pending orders can be placed from the chart using the Trading submenu of the chart context menu:


Place the mouse cursor on the necessary price level on the chart and execute the appropriate context menu command.


Depending on the cursor position, available order types are displayed in the menu. If the menu is activated above the current price, a user can place Sell Limit and Buy Stop orders. If the menu is activated below the current price, Buy Limit and Sell Stop orders can be placed.


Available distance between the selected and current price for the symbol is additionally checked ("Stops level").


Once the command execution, the Order window appears allowing the user to adjust its parameters more precisely.


If the One Click Trading option is enabled in the platform settings, orders are placed at a specified price instantly without displaying the trading dialog.


Managing Pending Orders #


Sometimes you may need to modify a pending order: set a new activation price, change stop levels or its expiration time.


Order Modification #


To modify a pending order, click " Modify or delete" in its context menu on the "Trade" tab.


Almost all the fields of a pending order that you fill in during order placing can be modified, except for the volume, fill policy and its comment. After you enter new parameters click "Change".


If parameters are set incorrectly, the "Modify" button becomes inactive.


Order Modification on a Chart Using a Mouse #


Modification of pending orders on a chart is only available if the "Show trade levels" option is enabled in the platform settings.


For pending orders, it is possible to modify Stop Loss and Take Profit levels separately, as well as modify the order price along with stop levels:


For the separate modification of stop levels on a chart, left-click the necessary level and drag it to the desired value (Drag'n'Drop). Drag the price line to modify the entire order. In this case, both the price and the stop level are moved. As for a Stop Limit order, its stop price and limit order price can be moved too. When moving the stop level indicated on the chart as "buy stop limit" or "sell stop limit", all the levels of the order will be moved including the limit order price, Stop Loss and Take Profit. The limit order price indicated on the chart as "buy limit" or "sell limit" is moved independent from other levels.


Once a level is set, the order modification appears allowing users to adjust the level more precisely. If "One Click Trading" option is enabled in the platform settings, orders are placed at a specified price instantly without displaying the trading dialog.


Changing pending orders on the chart can be disabled by enabling "Disable dragging of trade levels" option in the platform settings.


Order Modification on a Chart Using a Context Menu #


You can change or remove your pending orders, as well as set a trailing stop using pending order's context menu on the chart:


Modify — open the window of the selected order modification; Delete — open the order deletion window. If One Click Trading is enabled in the platform settings, removal is performed instantly without displaying the trading dialog; Trailing Stop — open the menu of Trailing Stop selection.


Deleting Pending Orders #


A pending order can be deleted from its modification window by pressing the "Delete" button. Pending orders can also be deleted automatically at the time specified in the "Expiration" field. A deleted pending order is marked as "Canceled" on the History tab of the Toolbox window.


The pending order can also be removed directly from the chart using the context menu.


Bulk deletion of pending orders #


The trading platform allows canceling all pending orders at once, in a couple of clicks. For example, if there is an important market news release, you may want to remove orders to avoid their activation in case of a sharp price jump. To do this, use the "Group operations" item in the context menu of the Trade section:


The list of available commands is formed automatically, depending on the selected operation and on your account type.


The following commands are always available in the menu:


Delete all pending orders. Delete pending orders of certain types: Limit, Stop, Stop Limit.


If you select a pending order, additional commands appear in the menu:


Delete all pending orders for the same symbol. Delete all pending orders of the same type for the same symbol.


These commands are only available if One Click Trading is enabled in platform settings.


Trading Account History #


The platform provides full access to the trading history of an account, as well as various tools for analyzing it. Open the "History" tab of the Toolbox window.


A list of trades on the trading account:


Time — deal execution time. The record is represented as YYYY.MM.DD HH:MM (year.month.day hour:minute); Deal — ticket number (a unique identifier) of a deal; ID — the deal ID in an external trading system (for example, on the exchange). The display of this parameter can be disabled depending on your broker's settings. Order — ticket number (unique identifier) of the order, based on which the deal was executed. Several deals can correspond to one order, if the required volume specified in the order was not covered by one market offer; Symbol — a financial instrument of the deal; Type — trading operation type: "Buy" — a buy deal, "Sell" — a sell deal. In some situations a previously performed deal is canceled. In this case, the type of the previously performed deal is changed to Canceled buy or Canceled sell, and its profit/loss is reset to zero. Previously gained profit/loss is deposited/withdrawn from an account in a separate balance operation; Direction — direction of the deal relative to the current position of a particular symbol: "in", "out" or "in/out"; Volume — volume of an executed deal (in lots or units); Price — price at which the deal was executed; Value — market value of the deal. The value is calculated as the product of the price and the contract size. Cost — the cost of a deal execution relative to the current mid-point price of the symbol (mid-point spread cost). Actually, this is the amount which the trader loses on traded spread. The availability of the parameter depends on the server.


The value is calculated using the following formulas.


Forex: For Buy deals: Normalize((Market Bid price + Market Ask price)/2 * Contract size * Volume in lots) - Normalize(Deal price * Contract size * Volume in lots) For Sell deals: Normalize(Deal price * Contract size * Volume in lots) - Normalize((Market Bid price + Market Ask price)/2 * Contract size * Volume in lots)


CFD, CFD Index, CFD Leverage and Exchange Stocks, Exchange MOEX Stocks: For Buy deals: Normalize((Market Bid price + Market Ask price)/2 - Deal price) * Contract size * Volume in lots For Sell deals: Normalize(Deal price - (Market Bid price + Market Ask price)/2) * Contract size * Volume in lots.


Futures, Exchange Futures, FORTS Futures, Exchange Options, Exchange Margin Options: For Buy deals: Normalize((Market Bid price + Market Ask price)/2 - Deal price) * Contract size * Volume in lots * Tick price/ Tick size For Sell deals: Normalize(Deal price - (Market Bid price + Market Ask price)/2) * Contract size * Volume in lots * Tick price / Tick size.


Deal size is determined in accordance with the trading instrument type, similarly to profit calculation. For Forex and CFD instruments, the value is equal to the contract size multiplied by the deal volume; for futures, it is the ratio of price to tick size multiplied by the deal volume, etc.


Deal execution result relative to the initial deposit:


Profit — profit or loss relative to the initial deposit. Credit — amount credited by the brokerage company. Deposit — deposit of the account (the sum of balance type operations with a positive value). Withdrawal — amount withdrawn from the account (the sum of balance type operations with a negative value).


The current account balance is displayed at the end of the line.


Switching between history representation modes.


Filtering history by financial instruments and volume switching between lots and units.


If the account trading history is too large, or you need to access data for a certain time interval, select the desired period here.


A report can be saved as a file and shared with other traders or analyzed using external software. In addition to the list of operations and results on the account, the trade report includes various statistics.


You can also choose to display all trades on charts and analyze the efficiency of entries and exits.


The trading history can be presented in various forms:


As a list of positions. The platform collects data on deals related to a position (position opening, additional volume, partial and full closure), and then combines the data into one record providing the following details: Position opening and closing time determined by the first and last trade respectively Position volume. If part of the position was closed, the record contains the closed volume and the source volume The weighted average position opening price and its closing price The total financial result of deals related to the position Position Stop Loss and Take Profit determined by Stop Loss and Take profit values of the deals, which opened and closed the position A list of orders containing all trade requests sent to a broker; A list of deals — the actual purchase and sale transactions executed based on the orders; A tree view of all trading operations showing how the trade requests were processed.


To display the trading history as positions, the platform uses information about deals executed during the requested period. A position is included into the report only if its opening date or closing date falls within the selected period. If a position was opened before the start of the selected time period and was closed after its end, this position will not be included in the report.

What Are Swaps in Forex, and How Are They Calculated?


What Are Swaps in Forex, and How Are They Calculated?


Reading Time: 17 Minutes.


How do Forex Swaps Work?


The swap rate (interest rates derived from the country’s central bank, such as the US Federal Reserve or Bank of England) is effectively the interest that’s debited or credited to a trader or investor’s account if (when) a trading position is left open overnight.


Overnight, according to many brokerages, is defined as beyond 5 pm Eastern Standard Time (EST). This is the rollover period. Consequently, a trade that opened at 3:30 pm EST on Tuesday and liquidated at 5:30 pm EST on Tuesday is still considered an overnight trade, despite being active for 2 hours.


Transactions in foreign exchange are settled on a T+2 basis (T+2 means the trade will settle 2 days after the transaction date). To avoid taking physical delivery of the currencies traded, trading positions are rolled to the next business day, as noted above. Triple swap (three-day rollover) is applied on Wednesday and is essentially 3 days’ worth of interest to accommodate the weekend break. Most banking institutions close over the weekend. Forex brokers, therefore, apply triple rollover on Wednesday because that's how it's applied by the banks providing liquidity to the FX market.


Swap Formula.


A swap is an amount a trader may gain or lose because of the interest rate at the rollover period. Depending on the interest rate differentials, the rollover may result in swap credit or swap debit. The nation's central bank determines different interest rates. Major national economic events—which you can track through an economic calendar—can have an impact on interest rates.


For independent traders, manually calculating the FX swap rate can be difficult.


How to calculate the currency swap rate is a common question as swaps are illustrated in MetaTrader 4 (MT4) points; traders sometimes have difficulties understanding how this translates to monetary value, your account value.


In MT4, traders can view the swap rates through the contract specification tab. Open your MT4 trading platform and select Market Watch, right-click the traded pair—in this case, for example, GBP/CHF—and choose specification. After that, locate Swap Long and Swap Short values by scrolling down.


If we hold a GBP/CHF position overnight for a 1 standard lot size, we will receive 3.02 MT4 points as a credit to our account for the Swap Long rate. It is -11.04 for the Swap Short rate. For this example, let's assume that the account balance is expressed in euros. By dividing the swap points from MT4 by the current EUR/CHF exchange rate of 1.05498 (3.02/1.05498), we can convert the swap rate into monetary value for euros: this equals 2.86 euros. In this instance, 2.86 euros would be credited to your account. As noted above, the Swap Short Rate is -11.04 for short positions. In this case, you divide -11.04 by 1.05498, which results in a debit of 10.46 euros from your account based on a single standard lot.


This is a universal formula across all currencies (Euro [EUR], New Zealand dollar [NZD], Swiss franc [CHF], US dollar [USD], and so on).


How to Use a Forex Swap Calculator.


Trader confusion over swaps is common, and that is where a calculator can come in handy.


As a reminder, swap is the interest paid at the time of rollover: the close of business. Interest is charged on open positions held beyond 5 pm (New York EST), either as a debit or credit, depending on the nation's overnight interest rate. Avoiding manual calculation is made easier by using the FP Markets swaps calculator. The calculator displays swap rates for both long and short positions at the bottom of the box after entering the account currency, currency pair, and transaction size. At the end of the trading day, you can anticipate that this will be debited or credited to your trading account.


For many Forex traders, figuring out the swap rate can be challenging, thus, it makes sense that most turn to online calculators. Even though online computation is quick and easy, taking time to comprehend the manual calculation is considered prudent.


Foreign Exchange Market.


Forex (or foreign exchange [FX]) refers to buying or selling of one currency in exchange for another. FX represents the most heavily traded market in the world because individuals, traders, businesses, and countries all engage in this domain. We can also think about it like this. When you travel and exchange US dollars for euros, you are trading one currency for another in the worldwide foreign exchange market. Furthermore, thanks to leverage (margin), it's an accessible marketplace to invest in for retail traders without considerable (upfront) capital.


Obviously, supply and demand for a particular currency will cause it to fluctuate in value versus other currencies. Hence, currencies are paired against one another: currency pairs. The most common modes of trading in the Forex market, particularly among retail traders, are through long and short trades: short trade (sell) and long trade (buy). The trader essentially speculates that the currency's value (base currency) will rise or fall versus the quoted currency (the second listed currency in a currency pair).


Another key point in the Forex market is it is also regulated, despite trading over the counter (OTC). Examples are the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), the regulating authority in Australia, and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the United Kingdom. Importantly, there is no single global body governing the Forex market.


Essential Steps to Begin Trading Forex:


Education.


It is essential to educate yourself before trading Forex. Decide which type of analysis you will use: technical or fundamental analysis. Some traders use both. If you use the MT4 trading platform which is the most popular platform for Forex traders, an abundance of tools and indicators to use for technical analysis and a newsfeed if you choose fundamental analysis are available. Learning about risk management is also essential: at its most basic, this consists of how to implement protective stop-loss orders and take-profit orders.


This should also go without saying, but you should only use disposable income to trade. Manage your money wisely and ensure your responsibilities are taken care of first; for example, rent, mortgage and living expenses.


Open a CFD trading account.


FP Markets is a fully regulated CFD broker with a proven track record. With a minimum deposit of 100 US dollars or equivalent, you can open a live trading account.


Testing your trading strategy with the demo account before you begin live trading is regularly recommended. Top-quality videos to guide you through the trading process are available at FP Markets.


Develop a back-tested Forex trading strategy.


While using a demo account, fully backtest your strategy. FP Markets has you covered with videos and tutorials https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eF6RS9GXeao. Once your strategy shows promise, you can proceed to a live trading account.


When you open a live account, you will be asked to prove your address. Your broker should also request a copy of your ID or passport; the process should only take a day if your documents are in order.


Find the currency pair you want to trade.


Trading the currency pair that enables you to maximize the potential of your trading technique is essential for trading success. Because there are many aspects to take into account, choosing the best one might be difficult. Here are some steps to select the right pair for your trading style:


1. Create a watchlist:


Place all your preferred pairs into a watchlist if you're unsure which pair to trade first. By focusing on the pairs you've spent time studying, you may better choose the ideal one from the shortlist of candidates by creating this watchlist.


2. Review news and economic data:


After creating a watchlist, you must evaluate the important economic reports and news information related to your chosen currencies. The objective is to understand the most likely course of price action from a fundamental standpoint.


The movement of currencies is greatly influenced by important variables such as inflation, GDP (gross domestic product), and CPI (consumer price index). New traders are prone to make the mistake of diving headfirst into fundamental analysis without fully comprehending the factors that influence price movement.


3. Carrying out technical analysis:


You can gain a comprehensive understanding of the Forex market through technical analysis. Using technical analysis is considered a good approach for identifying well-placed trade entries and exits that align with a strategy.


Make sure you comprehend the micro and macroeconomic issues before analyzing price charts. This makes it easier for you to narrow down the currency pairs on your watch list and guarantees that you only trade currency pairs whose technical and fundamental analyses are in sync.


To analyze price charts and determine the ideal price levels or key levels that direct your trade execution and management, you can use indicators, chart patterns, or trading theories (such as support and resistance, Elliot waves, Fibonacci, etc).


4. Consider the trading session:


The foreign exchange market is accessible 24/5. However, there are many trading sessions with various volatility and liquidity levels for all pairs. Major pairings, such as the EUR and USD pairs, will be volatile if you trade the London and New York sessions. JPY, NZD, and AUD pairs are typically more volatile than other pairs during the Asian session.


FP Markets have over 60 currency pairs to choose from, consisting of majors, minors, and exotics.


Forex Brokers with the Best Swap Rates.


No one broker has the best swap rates. One broker with superior swap rates, however, is FP Markets, a fully regulated Forex and CFD broker based in Australia. FP Markets also has a swaps calculator to do the hard work for you. For more information on swaps, head over to FP Markets.


Furthermore, FP Markets offer various account types: A free demo account and retail investor accounts. Numerous platforms are also available. MT4 is widely considered one of the best platforms for Forex traders. MT4 has all you need for beginners and experts to start trading the Forex market.
