Forex Examples

Trading forex with City Credit Capital has been made simple and fast using our proprietary technology CCC Trader. Review the examples below to see how easy it is for yourself.
Opening a position
You decide to go long dollar against the yen. Our quote is 104.97/105.02. You buy one contract (equivalent of $100,000) at 105.02. To open this position, you just need to supply a deposit of $1000 (1% of $100,000).


Calculating profilts
Buy 1 contract at 105.02 (¥10,502,000)

Sell 1 contract at 106.85 (¥10,685,000)

Total Profit (profit plus interest)1712.68+(.70x3)

Return On Capital 85.7%

*Subject to variation

1% margin required ($1,000*)

¥183,000/106.85 = $1,712.68

Total Profit = $1,714.78

Technical and fundamental analysis are both closely linked but they are independent and complementary. Fundamentals assess general market trends while technical analysis is more refined, providing specific entry and exit points for a trade. It is recommended to use a combination of both when defining your trading plan.

Any trading strategy in foreign exchange is based on the following assumptions:

The state of the market
Timeframe for trades
Time your trade properly
Gauge sentiment

First of all you take an overall view of where the market is going.
Determine if the position you want to take is long term or short term.
Don’t jump on the first price available, wait until YOUR price is available.
Review technical analysts' consensus and political conditions.

Fundamental Analysis

Fundamental Analysis focuses mainly on the economic, social and political forces that drive the supply and demand, hence the market price. This type of analysis concentrates on macroeconomic indicators such as economic growth rates, interest rates, monetary policy, inflation and unemployment

Technical Analysis

Technical Analysis concentrates on the simple fact that history repeats itself as well as a graphical representation of the market price action. This type of analysis is ideal for long-term to short-term strategies, depending on the timeframe used during the analysis process. Use the technical analysis to develop a trading plan and define the target and stop loss for any trade.

Trading Strategies

There are almost as many trading strategies used in the forex market as there are traders. But there is some commonality shared by most forex market participants.
The majority of forex traders choose to adopt a trading strategy based on either technical or fundamental analysis, or a combination of both. The description below outlines some of the defining features of both these approaches.

P/L in Pips Now Quoted Fractionally

On your Open and Closed Positions on the FX Trading Station, your P/L will now show tenths of a pip.
For more information, please call us at 1-888-503-6739.

Spreads and Margin Fractional Pips

* FXCM offers prices in tenths of a pip to provide lower spreads for popular currency pairs.
* The digit representing a tenth of a pip appears to the right of the two large, bold-faced digits.
he Benefit
Fractional pip pricing should reduce bid/ask spreads for each of the more popular currency pairs.
Our aim is to provide you with very competitive transaction costs—tight bid/ask spreads on every currency pair.
Access To Better Spreads
To give you access to better spreads, we introduced No Dealing Desk* execution. As one of the largest Forex Dealer Members** with strong liquidity relationships with the world's leading banks, we constantly press them to supply the most favorable prices to us.
As a result, the banks have now begun to provide streaming six-digit prices to FXCM; and consequently we are delighted to provide more accurate, tighter prices to you. As competition intensifies, fractional pip pricing should reduce bid/ask spreads for each of the more popular currency pairs even further—welcome news indeed in view of the market volatility we have recently experienced. Before this change, the buy price was rounded up to the nearest pip, and the sell price was rounded down. Now, with the additional decimal place, you will see a more accurate—and usually tighter—spread. For instance, you might see a buy price of 1.34557 instead of 1.3456 and a sell price of 1.34532 instead of 1.3453. In this case, you would have a spread of 2.5 pips instead of 3.

Why Trade at FXCM

FXCM's trading volume, $350 billion worth of transactions monthly, may be among the largest sources of retail currency trades in the world. As a result, we have obtained close banking relationships with eight of the world's largest and most aggressive price providers. Having multiple price providers is especially important in volatile markets, when one or two banks may post wide spreads, or simply avoid quoting any price at all. With so many major banks quoting prices to FXCM, there are competitive spreads, even during market-moving news events.

FXCM does not take a market position—eliminating a major conflict of interest. A dealing desk broker, which acts as a market maker, may be trading against your position. With our No Dealing Desk execution, however, we fill your orders from the best prices available to us from the banks. While an individual bank may try to skew its prices off the market, the unattractive price on the bid or ask side will lose the price competition and as a result, not factor into the prices streamed to you. At FXCM, prices are not subject to manipulation by a broker or a banks dealing desk.

While our competitors are beginning to follow our example of offering No Dealing Desk execution, we have successfully implemented it. Excellent bid and ask prices are not meaningful unless you have a reliable trading platform to execute trades. Our trading platform is tested in all market conditions, routinely handling about 200,000 trades per day.

While FXCM aims to provide clients with the best pricing available, having all orders filled at a requested rate means execution risks will remain.

No Trading Restrictions

• Trade during breaking news
• Place entry orders anywhere—even inside the spread
• Scalp the market
• Rollover transparency—all amounts are displayed in advance
• Receive positive rolls at all margin levels

No Dealing Desk Execution

• No conflict of interest between broker and trader
• No dealer intervention in trades
• Price providers (Banks) do not see your stops, limits, and entry orders
• Competition reduces the potential for market manipulation by price providers

Lower Spreads

• Euro/US dollar spread is frequently 2 pips, British pound/dollar 3 pips
• Trade on rates provided to FXCM by multiple global banks
• FXCM's $350 billion in monthly volume drives price competition
• Fractional pip pricing facilitates the tightening of spreads even further

Why Trade at FXCM

FXCM's No Dealing Desk* aims to provide transparent and fair execution. Every trade is executed back to back with one of the world's premier banks or financial institutions, which compete to provide FXCM with bid and ask prices. The best spreads available to FXCM are streamed to you with a small markup, which is generally one pip or less for major currency pairs.

Bids, asks and the spread

Just like other markets, forex quotes consist of two sides, the bid and the ask:

The BID is the price at which you can SELL base currency.
The ASK is the price at which you can BUY base currency.

Majors not based on the US dollar

The three exceptions to this rule are the British pound (GBP), the Australian dollar (AUD) and the Euro (EUR). For these pairs, where USD is not the base currency, a rising quote means the US dollar is weakening and buys less of the other currency than before.

In other words, if a currency quote goes higher, the base currency is getting stronger. A lower quote means the base currency is weakening.

The world's most traded market, trading 24 hours a day

With average daily turnover of US$3.2 trillion, forex is the most traded market in the world.
A true 24-hour market from Sunday 5 PM ET to Friday 5 PM ET, forex trading begins in Sydney, and moves around the globe as the business day begins, first to Tokyo, London, and New York.

Unlike other financial markets, investors can respond immediately to currency fluctuations, whenever they occur - day or night.

Who trades currencies, and why?

Daily turnover in the world's currencies comes from two sources:

* Foreign trade (5%). Companies buy and sell products in foreign countries, plus convert profits from foreign sales into domestic currency.

* Speculation for profit (95%).

Most traders focus on the biggest, most liquid currency pairs. "The Majors" include US Dollar, Japanese Yen, Euro, British Pound, Swiss Franc, Canadian Dollar and Australian Dollar. In fact, more than 85% of daily forex trading happens in the major currency pairs.

What's Forex?

"Forex" stands for foreign exchange; it's also known as FX. In a forex trade, you buy one currency while simultaneously selling another - that is, you're exchanging the sold currency for the one you're buying. The foreign exchange market is an over-the-counter market.

Currencies trade in pairs, like the Euro-US Dollar (EUR/USD) or US Dollar / Japanese Yen (USD/JPY). Unlike stocks or futures, there's no centralized exchange for forex. All transactions happen via phone or electronic network.
