Trading Currency ETFs
by polyxenaETFs retain the valuation feature of a unit trust, which can be purchased/redeemed at the end of each day for its net value - but you’re not limited to trading at the close price. An ETF is continually priced through market trading hours and so intra-day trading becomes possible. (Not something that ever went on with unit trusts or mutual funds).
Contract for Difference Trading - CFD
by polyxenaCFDs are to be avoided, on stocks, equities, anything and everything - it’s one small step away from spread betting and if you want to end up like those dumbasses who spreadbet on the FTSE opening every morning, fine, go ahead…

Interest Rate Cuts All Round?
by polyxenaThursday will have a similar deal - the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Bank of England announce their interest rates. The ECB is forecast - only forecast - to keep things the same, resisting any pressure to cut - which the larger members of the EU, France, Germany, would prefer - but others, Portugal, for example are dead against it.
Foreign Exchange 3-character Currency Codes
by polyxenaThe first 2 letters of the code are the ISO 2-character country code and the third is (usually) the initial of the currency itself.
Don't get obsessed with Forex.
by polyxenaThe simple fact is, jaded, fatigued, your decision-making is not going to be better. There’s no argument against that.

UK to ditch Pound and enter Euro?
by polyxenaWhat of the rumors? Rumors that, faced with a currency dropping like a stone, a lot of previous policy statements are going to be junked and the United Kingdom might make a relatively rapid emergency dive into the Eurozone.
Forex candlestick charts: Marubozu
by polyxenaDefinitions of the Marubozu can vary…The majority view seems to be that marubozu = a candlestick with no upper or lower shadows.
Some will use the term to describe a candlestick with one shadow, usually trailing the trend direction, so that an open (bullish) candle will have a lower shadow and conversely a bearish has an upper shadow.
