What is CFD Trading?

       

        A little history

CFD trading is one of the newest financial instruments. It was originally developed in the early 1900s in London by a derivative brokerage firm called Smith New Court, which was later bought out by Merrill Lynch. Initially it was used for hedging funds to short sell in the London Stock Exchange. Gradually CFD became more and more popular, especially when traders realized that a real benefit from it is that you can use high leverage for larger bets. The first company that made CFD trading available for an individual was GNI, by creating an online trading system called GNI Touch. Due to it, private investors and small investment companies got the opportunity to trade on the London Stock Exchange without having a direct access to it.  GNI was followed by IG Markets and CMC Markets. It is now considered that over 25% of Britain's stock market turnover is related to CFD.

The concept of CFD trading

CFD or Contract for Difference is a contract between two parties, called “the buyer” and “the seller”.  Its price is based on underlying asset, for example a stock index, a single stock or commodity. In other words one side of the contract is the investor and the other one the CFD provider or broker. By opening a live account with the broker the investor can speculate on up or down movement of the underlying asset. He will be able to gain profit by both going long or short. And this is due to that CFDs are derivative products, which allow the investor to trade on live market price movements, without actually owning the underlying asset.

Equity, Index and Commodity CFDs are now available in new generation trading platform NetTradeX for IFC Markets traders. The principle of CFD trading is very simple. The trader can buy a certain number of CFDs expecting the underlying asset to rise or sell a certain number of CFDs expecting the underlying asset price to drop. Later on when you close the buy position it means you sell the underlying asset, and vice versa, when you close the sell position it means you buy the asset. The difference between opening and closing prices makes your profit or loss.

CFD trading is based on margin trading. What does it mean? It means that you can open a position having deposited very small amount. How is it possible? It is possible due to leverage, provided by IFC Markets. IFC Markets offers its clients quite high leverage which differs depending on the account type and trading instrument.

Those who choose IFC Markets for CFD trading will get an access to Index CFDs, Equity CFDs and Commodity CFDs.

The company provides 80 Equity CFDs, including stocks of Facebook, Apple Inc, Amazon.com Inc, Xerox, Yahoo and many other highly liquid US stocks. The leverage for Equity CFDs is 1:40. Commission of 0.1% is charged only for position opening. For position closing there are no fees. One more important thing is that Equity CFDs are Swap free in IFC Markets. As for dividend adjustment it is amount equal to the announced dividend which is credited to or deducted from the client's amount depending on the position direction. In case of holding long position at the moment of session opening dividend adjustment will be credited to the trader's account, in case of short position, it will be deducted from his account. Note that IFC Markets pays 100% of dividends.

Index CFDs allow speculating on changes in dynamics of stock and currency indices. Such popular indices as DJI, SnP500, DAX, DJI, Nd100, CAC40, FTSE100 and NIKKEI are calculated uninterruptedly without an expiration date.

Commodity CFDs allow investing in dynamics of commodity prices. IFC Markets provides Light Sweet Crude Oil and in case trading with IFC Markets you will get an opportunity to gain profit by investing in dynamics of oil barrel price. This instrument is calculated uninterrupdetly, as well.

As a conclusion I would like to say that I myself have recently started investing in CFDs and have noticed some advantages over traditional share market.

• CFD trading is based on margin trading, giving you an opportunity to maximize your profits
• You have a real opportunity to make profit both going long and short
• No Stamp duty should be paid, unlike traditional share market
• You are able to manage your CFD positions by using Stop Loss and Take Profit orders.

                                                                                     

Forex Demo Contest in IFC Markets

Forex Demo Contest in IFC Markets

The other day I received an Email from IFC Markets, informing me that the company holds a demo contest between its colleagues and they are inviting me to participate as a partner. First I thought that it must be something simple. But no, after reading contest terms and conditions, I became quite interested. See the conditions:

·          All the accounts will have 1000$ deposit with 1:100 leverage;
  Each participant should open at least 3 positions daily;
  Each participant should at least open 5 positions with Take Profit or Stop Loss during the whole contest;
 Each participant should trade not only currency pairs, but also metals (at least 6 positions) and  CFDs (at least 6 positions)
 Calculation of profit/loss should be presented by each participant;
 No Scalping allowed!
 No one should ask each other what s/he is trading and open the same positions!

The one with higher account balance will win the contest.

    The winner will get a Special Prize from the Management!

Yes, really attractive conditions. It was informed in the Email that the contest will be held October 7-21. So I immediately took my mobile and called IFC Markets to tell them that I accept the invitation to become contest participant. I am trading for already 5 days, now my balance is 900USD. Actually I am losing, but I will do my best to become the first. The secret of awaiting prize is really thrilling. Good Luck to me! 

How to spend thousand dollars?

          Nickolas worked as a journalist for already ten years. He was earning enough to make a modest living without any luxury. He was married once, but his wife couldn’t stand his personality of not trying to reach high goals, so he lived alone and comfortable with no reason to complain about life. His all days were similar to each other, except one, when he bought a lottery and appeared to be lucky. He won thousand dollars. Once in a lifetime Nick wanted to try something new, something he hadn’t done before, so what to do? –I always liked traveling and wanted to see new places, but everytime something was keeping me away from doing it,- he thought,- hmm I haven’t taken a holiday for a long time already, it’s right time to do it. Next day at 10 o’clock in the morning he was waiting outside of the principle’s office. –Come in,- he heard someone calling from the room.

-So you want to take a holiday to do what Nick?, - asked the principle. –Travel, Mr. Armstrong, I always wanted to visit Greece as my ancestors are from there,- answered Nick. –Oh, I see, but there is a little problem with your decision. –Problem, what kind of problem, sir? –It’s not a surprise that you haven’t written any good articles for a long time already. Maybe you have some problems I understand, but now you want to take a holiday for a month and I think it’s too much. I cannot let you do that until you give me some good material.

Nick was upset, as his desire was not fulfilled. The fact was that he really wanted to spend that money now, so what to do? He was considering leaving his job and doing what he initially decided, in the end he wanted to do that for a long time now, but it wasn’t a sensible idea and he was a sensible man. There had to be something else he could do with the money. Several ideas crossed his mind at that time. Buying a video camera sounded nice to him at the beginning, but then he remembered that he is divorced and doesn’t have children, he cannot even go traveling then why does he need a camera? He could also donate the money to the charity, it would be very kind of him, but despite of this wonderful idea he really wanted to spend the money for himself. His head full of this kind of thoughts he didn’t even notice that he was already sitting in a café and one of his old friends was trying to catch his attention. They had been very close friends once when he and Michele were still married, but after the divorce many of their mutual friends chose to support Michele and Harry was one of them. They talked about old times, remembered good days and Nick told him about his lottery prize and that he cannot decide what to do with that. It appeared that Harry was trading on foreign exchange (forex) market for several months and already earned some money. – It is certainly a risky business, but in case of having a good strategy, you can earn quite a lot and that is what I do. You should try, it will be a new and interesting way to invest money-he said. 

                It was late at night Nick couldn’t fall asleep. He was thinking about life, about the money and Harry’s words. It was a risky business he said, but Nick was never a man who was getting engaged in risky businesses. It could be the reason he was alone now. He never enjoyed dangerous trips, was always careful and sometimes boring as his friends used to say. Maybe it was time to try something risky, he wouldn’t lose anything. That night he followed his old friend’s advice and started trading. He lost money and won money, he was thinking about new strategies he could use to earn money, besides he made some new connections during that. The change made in his life had a good influence on him and also on his career, because he became more enthusiastic and interested in what he was doing. He found good material that he could use in articles, which in fact Mr. Armstrong appreciated and approved his desire to travel.

                Now he had money and had permission from boss, he could finally do what he really wanted for a long time and it felt wonderful. New life was waiting for him full of new and exciting experiences.

GeWorko Method

Hello, dear traders, today I would like to present to your attention  informative videos, related to the unique and innovative portfolio trading method GeWorko, recently worked out by IFC Markets and NetTradeX Corp.

Popular Currency Nicknames in Forex Market

Popular Currency Nicknames in Forex Market

Apart from their official names, the major currencies carry special nicknames as well, which are widely spread among Forex traders. Do you want to know from where these nicknames come? So, let us reveal the origins.

USD – the US dollar. The USD received a nickname mainly because calling it simply “the Dollar” might have arisen some confusion. Let us recall that the currencies of such countries as Canada, Australia and New Zealand are also called the dollar. The nickname Dollar or Buck is popular among professional traders. But it was the term “Greenback” that has gained great popularity among Forex market commentators. This term has its history. I will now tell you, it’s very interesting. So, it was during the Civil War in America in the late 1800’s when then-president Abraham Lincoln printed U.S. Demand Notes to finance the war. He printed the front side of it black and the back side green. It was something new, since all currency notes had blank backs in that period. Now, I hope, you have understood how USD received the nickname “Greenback”.

EUR – the European Union’s Euro. The European Union or Eurozone is now using the EUR as its official currency. The circulation of the EUR started not long ago, in 1999, however it is gaining more and more popularity, yielding only to the USD. Fiber or Fibre stands as the nickname of the EUR. According to some sources, it has received that name because the EUR bills are made of cotton fiber.

  

GBP – Britain’s Pound Sterling. In Forex market the GBP is very often called just Pound, Sterling or Cable. The nickname “Cable” came about because formerly the USDGBP exchange rate was transmitted via the Trans-Atlantic telegraph cable, laid between London and New York.

CHF – Switzerland’s Swiss Franc: Swissie, the Chief. The Swissie is mainly spread among professional traders, whereas the retail Forex market prefers the name “the Chief”.

CAD –Canadian dollar. The pair USDCAD is frequently referred to as “the Funds”. This is because the currency pair trades for value one business day for funds, not two business days as in case of other currency pairs. The CAD carries the nickname “Loonie” as well. The loon is the national bird of Canada which is pictured on the one dollar Canadian coin.

AUD –Australian dollar: the Aussie: Aussie is named after a native of Australia.

NZD –New Zealand dollar: the Kiwi. Kiwi is a flightless bird, specific only to New Zealand. Thus it comes to be the national bird of the country and appears on the one New Zealand Dollar coin. Sometimes natives of New Zealand are also called Kiwis.

GeWorko Method - A Real Revolution in Financial World

Financial world already has an opportunity to enjoy an entirely new approach to financial markets research and analysis. The method is the result of a joint work of NetTradeX Corp., one of the leading trading software companies and of IFC Markets, a Forex brokerage company. The method carries the name personal composite instrument (PCI) GeWorko.

The method may sound to you as something complicated but in fact it is very simple. It will allow you creating portfolios from a range of financial assets, available on the platform NetTradeX and, most importantly, to determine the value of one portfolio relative to the other one. As a result you get a new financial asset – PCI GeWorko. Moreover, you can create both a simple structured PCI, when each portfolio consists of one asset, and a complex one with a variety of instruments.

For clarity let us see an example. You decide to trade a simple structured portfolio. So for the first portfolio you select Oil and for the second one SnP500. So now you have OILSnP500 and like in case of currency pairs the first asset stands for the base currency and the second one for the quoted one.

Likewise you can create a complex portfolio, in the first one including, for example OIL, SnP500, Gold and in the second one AUD, USD and Silver.

And take into consideration that the prices of assets are expressed in US dollars.

So, you see that the most attractive thing about portfolio trading is that you are completely free to use your imagination. There are no limits, you select as many assets as you wish, thus creating your own quotation - personal composite instrument (PCI) GeWorko.

Enjoy your Forex trading with IFC Markets!

Rupee, who are you !?

The History of the Rupee

The official currency of the Indian Republic is called the rupee (INR) and the coins are called the paise. One Indian rupee is made up of 100 paise. Paper money comes in allotments of Rs.5, Rs.10, Rs.20, Rs.50, Rs.100, Rs.500 and Rs.1000. Coins come in allotments of 10 paise, 20 paise, 25 paise, 50 paise, one rupee, two rupees and five rupees. 

So how old is the Indian rupee? The Indian rupee history goes back to the 15^th century when Sher Shah Suri (1486–1545), the founder of the Sur Empire in North India, introduced the first rupee. The word “rupee” derived from Sanskrit rūpya "shaped; stamped, impressed; coin" and also from the Sanskrit word "rupa" meaning silver.

The United Kingdom, whose colony was India, was trying by force to put into circulation the pound; however these attempts were not a success. In that period the rupee was spread in other colonies of the UK: Kenya, Qatar, Uganda, Bahrain, etc.. After the recognition of independence of India in 1947, the rupee became the official currency of the Indian republic.

On the front side of the banknote features a portrait of Mahatma Gandhi.

The Indian rupee has its special symbol. It is a blend of ‘Ra’ in Devanagri script and ‘R’ in Roman. It has two parallel lines crossing this ‘Ra’ or ‘R’ which shows that the symbol “is equal to” one Indian rupee. If you look more closely at the symbol, you can notice the robustness of the Indian economy.

Rupee in Forex Currently the Indian rupee is widely traded in Indian Forex market. The rate of the currency pair INR / USD is controlled and managed by the Reserve Bank of India, while other pairs INR / EUR and INR / JPY are volatile and are in a free-floating. At present IFC Markets does not provide INR as a trading instrument. But in the nearest future INR will be included in the list of currencies traded in IFC Markets.

Any Company, dealing with clients should put a very high emphasis on the quality of the client support. Forex brokerages are not exceptions. IFC Markets is a good example of a broker who is doing his best for the clients. The below presentation is a bright example of successful support.

Let's Talk About Forex

Gaurav Learns What Forex Is in General

The next day when we met I decided to tell my friend about how Forex market was formed, what it is in general and who the main participants of that market are.

-I will now tell you how the Forex (Foreign Exchange) market was formed. Before 1970s the price of a currency was determined by the gold reserve of that country. Each currency had its equivalent expressed in ounces of gold. But soon everything changed. The fluctuating rates came to replace the gold standard. So this is how international Forex market was formed.

- What are fluctuating rates, Manoj?

-Fluctuating rates are the capability of the currency value to change freely depending on the supply and demand for that currency.

-Ok, clear. So I cannot understand how currencies are traded.

-Everything is simple, Gaurav. In Forex market a definite amount of one currency is sold or bought by a definite number of another currency. To make it clearer to you just imagine that one currency is the product, another is the currency with which you sell or buy the product. And you gain profit from trades thanks to floating currency rates.

- Ok, so for example if I trade with EURUSD it means that EUR is the product and USD is the currency, right?

- Yes, you are quite right, my friend. Let’s continue. So what is the advantage of this market you may ask. Imagine a market where you can buy or sell any moment you like; Forex market is open 5 days 24 hours a week. You can trade wherever you want due to online trading; a computer or mobile with internet connection and your trading becomes possible from any corner of the world. What is important for me is that in Forex market you do not have any boss, actually you yourself are your boss. In this sphere you are completely independent, there aren’t even colleagues, accordingly no competition exists.

- Great, so anyone can be involved in this market?

- Actually till 1990s only big financial institutions and banks could participate in Forex market. Forex trading was realized with several million U.S. dollars. In future due to brokerage companies Forex trading became possible for individuals as well. Thanks to margin trading one can trade with 100 000 dollars possessing just 1000 dollars, thus risking his own money. I will tell you about margin trading with more details later. And also remember that there is no international Forex company. Forex is realized due to brokerage companies. At present there are an unlimited number of brokers all over the world, offering their own unique services.

- Yes, my friend you really provided me with valuable information.

- This is only the beginning, Gaurav. Next time we will go deeper into this world.

Let's Talk About Forex

Gaurav Decides to Become a Forex Trader

The other day one of my friends rang me up for sharing his decision with me:

- Hi, Manoj, how are you?

- Feeling amazing, I have just gained 1000USD in Forex market.

- Oh, my congratulations, that’s why I am calling you. I am eager to become a Forex trader like you. I possess 500USD and want to invest it and make thousands of dollars. So, I want your advice on which brokerage company to choose.

- I can advise you IFC Markets, a trustworthy company, but wait. Do you know how to trade?

- Yes, it’s simple. You invest money and get profit.

I couldn’t help laughing.

-Let’s meet and I’ll prove that it is not that much simple, my dear friend.

So, we made an arrangement at 7 o’clock in a cosy café to discuss the matter with a cup of coffee.

 Later in the café:

-So, you are interested in Forex trading? I asked

-Yes, and I am about to invest. What I need to do is to choose the proper broker and start my profitable business. I have a definite amount of money, opportunity to choose a broker and a wish to trade. What else do I need?

-You need much to know before starting this business. Let us meet every day and I will explain the basics of Forex trading to you.

-Agreed, thanks, my friend.

Follow us every Friday.

Hello, dear traders. I would like to inform you that from this time on the blog will be regularly updated with new posts. If you are interested, follow us every Friday.

NetTradeX

NetTradeX Trading Platform

I have been absorbed by Forex trading for already two years. During this period I have realized my trading ambitions with a range of brokerage companies. While deciding what trading platform to choose, every time I gave my preferance to Metatrader 4. My experience in working with this platform has gone so far, that passing to another one was merely out of the question. But as once I encountered with IFC Markets brokerage company, its trading platform really caught my attention. This platform is actually innovative one, offering its clients a broad range of possibilities for trading in Foreign Exchange market. I am more than sure that it will be valuable for Foreign Exchange in India as well.

I would like to present you the main distinctive features of this platform and what I mainly like or dislike about it.

·         Like everything in this life, the first impression of the platform is its appearance. I somehow like its interface and menu is quite comfortable as well, thought it is a little bit complex for beginners. It would be better if they provide some tutorials how to make use of the platform.

·         What makes NetTradeX different from MT4 is that it gives its traders an opportunity to make a withdrawal request directly from the platform. Very convenient and innovational, don’t you agree?

·         With NetTradeX trading platform you can set up a whole range of orders and their combinations, such orders as Market, Limit, Stop, Pending, Linked, Activated and Trailing Stop mode as well. Moreover, in NetTradeX Trailing Stop order is active on the server, i.e. it works even when the client terminal is turned off.

·         Here you can make opposite transactions with the same currency at the same time without positions closing each other and this is possible through Lock mode.

·         NetTradeX allows to get financial market’s news flow every day with the help of which you make trading decisions more easily and reasonably.

·         A detailed trading account’s information is available. In case you forget what operations you have made, never mind, the platform reflects all your operations and you can see them any moment you wish.

·         NetTradeX trading platform provides a broad range of technical analysis tools, which will give you wider opportunities for technical analysis.

·         The terminal is available in 15 languages. Unfortunately, currently it is not available in Hindi for Forex India, but I hope that in the nearest future we will enjoy the terminal in Hindi language.

I guess that at present this platform is one of the most innovational and multifunctional platforms. Gradually it is becoming better and better by improving its functions and services.
