TYPES OF ORDERS
Market Orders: A Market Order is an order that is given to a broker to buy or sell the currency at whatever the market is trading for at that moment. It can be an entry order into the market or an exit order to get out of the market. Traders use Market Orders when they are ready to make a commitment to enter or exit the market. You must be very careful when using Market Orders in fast moving markets. In fast rallies or down reactions you can gain or lose many points to slippage before you receive your fill.
Limit Orders: Limit Orders are orders given to a broker to buy or sell currency lots at a certain price or better. The term Limit means exactly what it says. You will buy at that exact limit price or better a large majority of the time. Limit Orders are used to enter and exit the market. They are generally used to acquire a specific price, avoiding slippage and unwanted order fills (execution price) which can happen with Market Orders.
When you sell above the market, it is a Limit Order. When you buy below the market, it is a Limit Order. A limit order will be executed when the market trades through it. Seventy to ninety percent (70% to 90%) of the time, if the market is trading at your Limit Order it will be executed. The market must trade through you specified Limit Order number to guarantee a fill. The computer will notify you within seconds of your fill. You do not have to call your broker to see if you have been filled.
Stop Orders: Stop Orders are orders placed to enter or exit the market at a desired specific price. When you buy above the market, it is a Stop Order. When you sell below the market, it is a Stop Order. Stop Orders turn into Market Orders when the market trades at that price. Stop Orders as well as Market Orders are subject to slippage, while Limit Orders are not.
The majority of Stop Orders are used as protective Stop Loss Orders. It is the order you place with your entry order to insure an exit when the market goes against you. A good trader never trades without a protective Stop Loss Order. They are orders executed to get you out of the market when your trade has gone against you. Protective Stops are discussed separately as one of the 10 Keys to Successful Trading.
One Cancels the Other (OCO): Whenever you enter the market, you must exit the market at some future time. An OCO order is a procedure and means one-cancels-the-other. Once you have entered the market, you should place a protective Stop Loss Order and have in mind a projected profit target. That projected profit target can be your Limit Order. If you simultaneously place both Limit and Stop Loss Orders when you enter the market, you can OCO them and walk away from your computer. What does that mean? At some future point in time either your Stop Order or Limit Order will be executed, automatically canceling your opposing order. If the trader is so sure about the trade, he can execute an OCO order and walk away from the trade. The computer will than manage the trade.
Cancel/Replace Orders: A Cancel/Replace Order is a procedure and not an entry or exit order. By definition it is when the trader cancels an existing open order and replaces it replace it with a new order. A cancel/replace order is primarily a strategy of trading and is predominately used after one has taken a position in the market and wants to stay in the market locking in profit. For example: you buy Swiss at 1.410. Your protective Stop Loss Order is 1.390. The market moves in you direction as projected. You now want to reduce your potential loss, so you cancel your Stop Order at 1.390 and replace it to 1.410 where you got in.
You are now in a trade with no risk. As the market moves further north in your direction, you now want to lock in more profit. You cancel your 1.410 Stop Loss Order and replace it with a new 1.440 Stop Loss Order. You now have locked in 30 Pips in profit. You are in an all-win, no-risk trade. You keep canceling and replacing your Stop until you are finally stopped out. This is discussed separately under Protective Stops as one of the 10 Keys to Successful Trading.

The History Of Forex Trading
forex trading can trace its history back to the middle ages when international merchant banker devised the system of using bills of exchange. It is however changes which have occurred during the twentieth century which have really shaped trading in the global currency market we see today.
In the 1930s the British pound was considered to be the world's principle trading currency and was the currency held by many countries as their main 'reserve' currency. London was also seen as the world's leading forex trading.
Following the Second World War however the British economy was all but destroyed and so the United States dollar took over as the world's major trading and reserve currency - a position which it still holds today. This said however there are now a number of other currencies, including the Japanese Yen and the Euro, which are also beginning to be seen as major reserve currencies.
It was also following the Second World War that a number of events took place which have been instrumental in shaping today's forex trading
The first of these was the conclusion of the Bretton Woods Accord in 1944 in which the United States, Britain and France agreed that they would stabilize world currency markets by pegging the major world trading currencies to the US dollar (which was itself pegged to the price of gold). This accord held that when the price of a currency fluctuated by more than one percent against the US dollar then the central bank of the country in question had to step in and buy or sell the currency to bring it back into its one percent bracket.
The Accord also spawned the establishment of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) which was designed to produce a stable system for the sale and purchase of currencies and to ensure that international currency transactions were conducted smoothly and in a timely fashion.
The IMF also created a consultative forum aimed at both promoting international co-operation and facilitating the growth of world trade. At the same time it also broke down many of the exchange restrictions which were hindering international trade.
The IMF was also tasked with making financial resources available to member states on a temporary basis where this was felt to be necessary in furtherance of the aims of the IMF. Loans were normally only made only on condition that the government of the country to which a loan was made undertook to make substantial changes to rectify the situation which had given rise to the need for the loan

How to Learn The Foreign Exchange Market
Useful Forex Trading Tips!Basically, foreign exchange trading involves the process of acquiring and selling various foreign currencies. These currencies move up or down at any given time. The difference of forex trade with other markets, such as stock trading, is that it is not controlled by an arbitrary or governing institution. forex trading enter credit agreements, which require them to compete, as well as work, with each other.
Foreign trade has become more open to any individual these days. For as low as USD 300, you could start making money with the help of the Internet and a more experienced broker. See the following tried-and-tested tips if you are interested in investing in the foreign exchange trade. Be sure to remember that the market is lucrative but losses are also part of it.
1. Trade in pairs. It would be better to analyze the relationship of one currency with another instead of just focusing on one currency say, the dollar or the euro. Forex trading is all about trying to predict the impact of the currencies to each other and waiting to see which are most likely to gain or lose.
2. Follow the news closely. It is interesting to know that global news affect how the currencies fluctuate. Have you noticed how the currency value of a particular country depends on its current situation? For example, do not be immediately turned off if the ECB releases a statement with regard to interest rates in Europe. The forex trading thrives on volatility. Also, trading activity is highest upon the release of breaking news.
3. Take risks. Putting up a smaller amount might ensure small profit and save you from huge losses. However, doing this will also make it more difficult to profit because you will have to take care of the difference between the ask price and your bid. Large-amount trades are more advisable in the long term.
4. See it as a learning process. As a novice trader, you might want to acquire the services of a more experienced broker. Avoid disaster by just allowing your broker to implement his strategy. Stick to one position and refrain from consulting multiple sources. Study the results of your trade independently.
5. Develop your own strategy. The secret of the market’s most successful traders rely on the use of an effective strategy. Do not focus solely on making money; think about the best approach to maximize your investment and of plans to control risk levels. Decide which currencies you would like to trade.
6. Do not trade during off-peak hours. The biggest market players will run you over if you trade between 2200 CET and 1000 CET. This is the period when trade activity is slow, giving hedge funds and professional forex trading the opportunity to circumvent their positions.
Accept the facts. The market has only two ways to go: up and down. Attempts have been made to study the patterns of market trends but at the end of the day, no one can foresee what’s next. This is what makes forex trading all the more exciting. It would be easier to accept your losses and enjoy your gains if you reconcile with this fact.
