what is a breakout trade in forex?
924154
A breakout is generally defined as a rise or fall in share prices beyond resistance or support. In some circles, breakouts are only referred to as breakouts if they break stocks to all time highs or lows. This seems much too restrictive though and we define a breakout as a rise or fall in share prices beyond current resistance or support levels. This implies that either a new trend or a trend continuation has began again.\n\nBreakouts are typically accompanied by a rise in volume. They can occur to the upside or the downside. This is true of most technical formations.\n\nThen you trade by following the trend.\n\nread for yourself\n\nhttp://www.actionforex.com/articles_library/forex_articles/playing_the_breakout_trade_200511163087/

Never used it myself, but I have seen people use it to calculate potential turning points for the day you are about to trade. \nBecause so many traders follow pivot points you will often find that the market reacts at these levels. \n\nTake a look here for a better explanation:\nhttp://www.investopedia.com/articles/technical/04/041404.asp

If you are an exporter, when the dollar declines against the currency of the country to which you are exporting, you will make more on your products.\n\nIf you are an importer, when the dollar declines you will pay more for what you import, making less money.\n\nAnd vice versa.\n\nConsider hedging the risk of currency fluctuations by using currency futures.

If that's what you really think, then buy the Euro Currency Trust, which trades under symbol FXE.\n\nBut currencies are a risky game, trends could reverse tomorrow on one international event or the other.  A diversifed portfolio makes more sense, and is safer.  Be careful.\n\nHope this helps!\n--J.

Well of course one main factor they consider is generating a profit!\n\nWhat they do is they take the currency rate; it is usually active - and not fixed. They then put a spread between the buy and sell price - this is how the forex dealers make money. \n\nSay if you bought US with your currency then sold the US back instantaneously you will find that you may have lost .5 to 3c per dollar or maybe even more because of the spread.

Various interest rate futures (5 year/10 yr notes/US Treasury bonds) trade on the CBOT.\n\nThe Eurodollar (interest rate on USD in Europe) also trades on CME.\n\nBoth sites have charts.\n\nAs faras news is concerned, you really need to look at major announcements that affect interest rates.  Typically these are similar to what affects currencies too.  Forexnews.com isn't a bad site for this stuff.  It also shows upcoming events too.\n\nIf you're looking for extensive historical data on the futures contracts, the futures exchanges sell this data for a fee, as do third party data vendors such as premium data site.\n\nCheers,\nRichard.

Triangular arbitrage today is often done by computer programs by the big players, so I really don't think there's going to be much opportunity in it.  Plus, you have to think there's going to be a transaction cost each time, which will really eat up your profits unless you're doing serious $ trading.  If you are set on doing currency trading, you can try http://www.forex.com

MSN.COM has information.  I did a graph of the Euro as an example.  However, most people who play with Forex lose money.  Watch out for the scammers. (See Link 3)

The Forex market is the FOReign EXchange market or simply the currency market. This is an investment market in it's own right in that international traders will study various macro-economic variables of many countries and try to identify opportunites to make profit by either buying or selling various currencies. The best current example of an investor taking a bet on the Forex market is Warren Buffet's well publisised view that the US dollar will weaken over time, which effectively means that other currencies will strengthen over time relative to the dollar. Buffet has taken a US$35 billon dollar bet that this will happen by investing in many non-US based companies.  You probably can't use Yahoo to conduct Forex trades as most countries have specific laws around who and how you can buy and sell money.  However, everytime you travel overseas and purchase traveller's cheques and then cash them when you come back home, you are effectively conducting a forex trade.
