ICICI Bank Forex Online

I have been writing about the Forex and trying to spread awareness about the currency trading for quite some time. Just supporting my these articles, India’s largest private sector bank ICICI is taking initiative to open up currency trading platform for its customers. Such move will be the first of its kind in the field of banks, in India, and will be followed by many other banks as well as financial institutions very shortly. There are many online broker sites, available globally, for currency trading. For ICICI, the bank’s site itself will work as the broker site with the same logo. They are also offering many options to choose from. But, unlike others, one will have to go through a lengthy process for registration. You can easily start with any of the broker sites by just opening an account with the stipulated deposit amount. Whereas, here, for ICICI, you will have to fulfill some forms, just the way at the time of opening the bank account, and then wait for an approval. If you are approved, you will be trading online ! Happy trading.

Forex : An Understanding

Generally speaking, Forex currency trading is a simultaneous act of selling or buying one for the other in context of two different correlated currencies; when you buy you sell also, or when you sell you buy also. Polishing the view, let’s say - Buy when the price is low or down and sell when the price is high or up. Leave Money which is losing the charm and welcome the Money that is hot. This is a simple doctrine for trading currencies and earning profits. It is always expected that you buy or sell a currency on account of an assumption and anticipation. If not at present but in the future, you think, a currency is going to overtake or uplift further against some other currency, you need to buy the former for the latter or sell latter for the former. The quantity of buying and selling depends on how much gain you want to target in accordance with your ability, awareness, and risk taking behavior. For example, your anticipation suggests that in a near future EUR (Euro) will strengthen its position against USD (US dollar), at present, you are supposed to buy EUR for USD or sell USD for EUR (USD will weaken against EUR as per your anticipation); and the vise-versa when your anticipation comes correct in the future. If this assumption proves to be wrong and the market goes against your anticipation, you lose.

Forex currency trading is stated to be the best because of its over-the-counter (OTC) feature. Anybody can trade with anybody, straight forward, 24 hours a day, worldwide. There is no control of a Central Exchange over the market. Moreover, this market is free from any external power of any group or individual; because of its size such factors can never succeed to influence the market for personal interest. This market is also featured for its "liquidity" with the highest amount of trading per day as compared with the other financial markets in the world. It is liquid (flowing or runny) because there are buyers and sellers all the time all over the world with the fluctuating rates of the currencies; opening and closing of trading positions is a matter of few seconds. The term "fluctuation" refers to the frequently changing (within minutes or even seconds) prices of the currencies.

The participants are the only doers who will decide what to be the price of a particular currency against another specific currency, all depending upon the over all values of those currencies. These values may be as a result of "happenings" either within the market itself or within the nation of a subjective currency. These two situations refers to two investment strategies, respectively, the Technical Analysis and Fundamental Analysis.

Marginal trading is a biggest plus point of Forex. This makes it more easy, especially for small investors, to trade for bigger position with a much smaller actual amount of capital in their accounts. For instance, you can trade for $100,000 by just investing $500 as a "real money" supply. The money representing your bigger position in marginal trading is called Leverage; and the initial required smaller amount of transaction in your account is called the Margin. However, as there is a significant risk of money loss involved, and this may require an expertise, marginal trading or leverage is not recommended.

Remember, Forex market with varied participants and universal size bestows you with an "equal opportunity" for gaining profits along with others located all over the world.
