基礎外匯教育(Forex Trading Education - The Basics)

 

在國外,外匯交易是非常非常普遍的

就連中國大陸的資訊都比台灣流通

台灣在外匯資訊領域其實相對封閉

作者建議學習外匯之初

您最好要慎重考慮選擇一個適合的教育機構

若您選擇藉由網路及書及學習

最好要選擇成熟的、且真正具操盤經驗的作者寫的文章

外匯交易的世界是open+open

因為台灣外匯資訊相對封閉

您可能不知道,外匯市場其實是全世界最大的金融網路主體

每天3~4兆的美金在網路中流通交易 

而且24小時不休息

全球有越來越多人相外匯當成一種替代性股票

因為它實在比股票及期貨要好上太多太多

作者建議初學者最好focus在主要貨幣對即可

不要交易太多貨幣對,大概兩支就好,方便照顧

主要貨幣對如下:

- EUR/USD (Euro/US Dollar)
- GBP/USD (British Pound/US Dollar)
- USD/JPY (US Dollar/Japanese Yen)
- USD/CHF (US Dollar/Swiss Franc)
- USD/CAD (US Dollar/Canadian Dollar)
- AUS/USD (Australian Dollar/US Dollar)

限制初期交易的貨幣對,會幫助你專心交易,並且進步得較快

Forex Trading Education - The Basics

Before you even consider trying to trade the Forex Market it is vital to get a proper Forex Trading Education. Reading books and articles on the internet is very helpful but doing a Forex Trading Course from a successful trader is the key to successful trading. Because of the leverage of the Forex Market there is a lot of money to be made. Having said that leverage is a double edge sword. This same leverage that can make you a lot of money can also be the reason you lose a a lot of money.

Forex trading takes place through major banks, market makers, and brokerage houses around the world. These together create a marketplace for trading currencies on a near 24/7 basis.

The Forex market is almost always "open". The market is open 24 hours a day from 5pm EST on Sunday until 4pm EST Friday. This is mainly due to the fact that the demand for currencies is in high demand. The Forex Trading Market is the largest financial network in the world with a daily turnover averaging in the trillions of dollars.

And it is continuing to grow every day as more and more traders turn to foreign currency trading as an alternative to trading stocks.

Currency trades are described in the following format: XXX/YYY. Trading foreign currency involves two currencies traded simultaneously, as a 'pair'. An example is the EUR/USD pair, the Euro is trading against the US Dollar. Which means if a trader is 'buying' the Euro, they are also simultaneously 'selling' the US Dollar.
XXX is the first currency in the pair. This is called the 'base' currency. YYY is the second currency in the pair. This is known as the 'counter' currency in the pair. It is also sometimes referred to as the 'term' currency.

The base is always represented as 1, therefore the prices of the currency is then always expressed in terms of the counter currency. So if the current price of the EUR/USD pair is shown as 1.3667, the Euro being the base would be 1 so the US Dollar would equal $ 1.3667.

When you are first learning to trade Forex, it is wise to only focus on the best Forex pairs for trading. The best, refers to pairs that are widely traded so they have the most liquid markets and usually have sufficient price movements (or volatility) to be worth trading. The following pairs are consistently recommended as some of the best for trading in the Forex markets which meet the above requirements:
- EUR/USD (Euro/US Dollar)
- GBP/USD (British Pound/US Dollar)
- USD/JPY (US Dollar/Japanese Yen)
- USD/CHF (US Dollar/Swiss Franc)
- USD/CAD (US Dollar/Canadian Dollar)
- AUS/USD (Australian Dollar/US Dollar)

By limiting your trades to these pairs you can: reduce the amount of time you will spend searching for potential trades; find stronger and better trends; and, make it will make the process of getting into and out of a trade quicker.

If you want to take it one step further, you could limit your trades to the two most liquid and widely traded pairs which are: EUR/USD and GBP/USD.
