So i guess you know what forex trading is.\n\nFutures and options and forwrds, the easiest, are a kind of derivatives. Derivatives are a financial instrument whose value derives form the value of other, more basic underlying assets.\n\nNow, forwards are contracts in which the price of a commodity or currency is set for the future. It has to do with expectations of the market, and how the market thinks, based on information today, the price of those commodities or currencies will be in a certain date.\nLets say the exchange rate of mexican pesos for us dollars today is $11.09. That´s the spot exchange rate. Now, lets say you and i agree that in june 2006, im your gonna sell me american dollars at an exchange rate of $11.1828. If my expectation is the peso will be higher, im gonna make a deal with you. So, the future of the pedo, for june 2006 will be $11.1828. Imagine our deal, but not made between us, but between thousands of dealers, in the Chicago MArket.\nCompanies use futures a lot as a way to protect themselves. I believe in english its called hedging. If an american firm sells water tanks to a firm in France, but the payment isnt due untill 45 days later, both companies would like to agree to make the exchange of euros for us dollars at a future exchange rate. That way they now exactly how much they owe or get. The same with commodity prices. A future of the price of oil is nothing more than a contract agreeing on the future price of the transaction. Funny thing is, you and i can agree on an oils future contract, where im selling and your buying, but the barrel of oil is never transacted. What we do is, lets say the future price of oil for august is $73 usd. im selling, you are buying, and we agree on that price. Come august 31st, the real price of oil is $78 usd. since you are buying, you win $5 bucks per barrel right? And i lose % per barrel... so instead of giving you a barrel of oil you cannot even store, i just give you $5 per barrel. _If the real price had been $65, i would have won $8 per barrel, and you lose $8 per barrel.\n\nThe same with futures. MAjor difference with forwards is that an exchange of assets is required. Contracts are pretty much standarized. The delivery, kind and quality of product, etc is all defined. Largest exchanges are made in the Chicago Board Trade. Futures include a los of prodcts... live cattle, sugar, coffee, gold, cooper, aluminium, etc.\n\nOptions are a little bit harder. There are 2 basic type of options: call options, giving the holder the right, option, to buy an asset at a certain date at a certain price. Put options, giving the holder the right, option, to sell an asset at a certain date at a certain price. For example, lets say i buy a call option to buy in 3 months stock of yahoo. The actual price is, just an example, $10 bucks, and my call option gives me the option to buy at $12. The price to buy that option for 1 share of yahoo is worth $1. If 3 months pass, and the price of the stock is $11, i certainly wont take my option to buy the stock and lose $1, the initial investment on the option. But if the real price is $15, im going to take my option, buy the stock at $12 and sell it at $15, earning $2. \nJust be careful cause there are american options and european options... european options can only be excersied at the end of the contract, ehile american options can be excercised whenever in the life of the option.

There will be hedge funds on all currency exchanges in case there is a profit to be made.\n\nThe big ones are\n-EBS (they started allowing hedge funds on this inter-bank)\n-CME\n-Hotspot\n-Currenex\n-maybe Reuters, but this is a much smaller subset\n\nProbably a few other small ones too.

Chinese don't have a fully floating currency.  They "float" their RMB to a selective basket of goods/currencies.  This means the exchange rate only changes a minimal amount per day.

Trade is a powerful bargaining tool for a country in need of military hardware and technology.  It is a weapon being used by China to force the USA to supply its military.  Americans beware of the future in China's development.

Currency traders have a bid and an ask spread.  The bid spread is what they will give you to translate your currency from one to another, the ask spread is what they charge someone that wishes to covert their currency the opposite direction.  The difference between the bid and the ask is the spread that the broker makes.  A number of things affect this including financial policy of each of the countries.

Who knows and any one that tells you that they do is not telling the truth. I have looked at 100's of websites on forex. The only way I know of to make money in the forex market is called hedging. Buying either pound/dollar against the dollar/yen in a certain ratio and then collecting interest on a daily basis and selling when one is stronger than the other. Since they move in opposite directions for the most part you will be positive some of the time and when your negative you are collecting interest at better than mutual fund rates. And you don't have to watch the market 24/6. I have made over 800 in 30 days on 3000 dollar balance doing this. I learned it from a company called FreedomRocks. you can find them at www.freedominforex.com.

I'd be wary of any "seminars" on FOREX (Currency Trading).  I am currently learning about this.  I started about 2 months ago and expect that in 6 months to a year I'll be ready to start investing (after some very intensive reading and an on-line course that I've taken).\n\nWhat I've learned so far includes;\n9 out of 10 that try to trade currency, fail!\nMost trades (by those that survive) lose money. \n\nThere are many 'scams" out there right now in OPTIONS, METALS etc.  I wouldn't be surprised if they're out there in FOREX.  THIS IS AN "UNREGULATED" market (although it is the biggest in the world). If they tell you that you can make ridiculous amounts of money... Ask yourself.... why isn't everyone in the world doing it?\n\nSend me an email. I'm interested in their "rap". If I see any obvious negatives... I'll let you know!\n\nBTW: typical charges for trading are;\nA.   No commissions or fees (at all)!!!!\nB.   Spreads on major currency's are 2 or 3 pips on some like the EUR/USD. 4 or 5 on some of the others.

Learn stochastic calculus and maths modelization first. It's your only way to making consistent profit on the FX. Charts are a great way to "learn" except they have no PREDICTIVE value whatsoever... sounds familiar? ;)
