Using the z-score

July 10th, 2009

Analyzing a forex strategy and deciding on its effectiveness is one of the most important tasks faced by a forex trader, regardless of the knowledge and experience level. Unless we are able to determine the profit potential of a trading system, we’re fumbling in the dark when it comes to making decisions and planning about the future. And we all know that planning and discipline are crucial to a successful forex trading career. Consequently, it’s clear that we must have a credible and reliable way of testing our strategies in order that we can have a reasonable degree of foresight in our trading choices.

In this context, the z-score is an extremely useful tool employed by analysts for determining if a strategy can generate strings of wins or losses. Of course, any strategy will create strings of wins and losses at times, just as any random list of wins and losses will contain strings. We use the z-score to decide if a trading strategy is generating the strings in a way that is non-random. What use is this knowledge for the trader? Obviously, if we can ensure that our wins and losses follow each other, we will be more confident while building up a position, because a profitable trade is more likely to be followed by another one that is also profitable. Conversely, it will be easier to stop or reverse a trade after one or two losses, because we know that our strategy generates losses in strings, and a losing trade is likelier to be followed by one that is also a loss.

In order to analyze the results generated by our strategy we must compare the z-score of our strategy to its confidence interval on the normal distribution. The normal distribution is a very useful concept used by scientists and statisticians for, for example, analyzing the frequencies of traits in a population. It is a curious fact of nature that the IQ levels of individual in population are distributed in a manner that is dependent on normal distribution.

If the results generated by our trading strategy are non-random, we would expect them to be clustered at the tails of the normal distribution pattern, as defined by its relevant confidence interval. It may sound complicated, but with just a little practice, it’s in fact a very straightforward, useful, and simple method which requires only high school mathematics.

The z-score is of course just one of the numerous mathematical methods available to traders for establishing the usefulness of a strategy. The crucial point when using any of these methods is to ensure that we gather our data sample from actual trading results, and not from historical, hypothetical what-if scenarios that have little relevance and credibility in the actual market environment. Let’s remember that even the top forex brokers in the market are unlikely to help us much if we don’t apply sensible and logical methods while trading the markets.

The 6 Advantages Forex Trading Has Over Other Investments

There are many different advantages to trading forex instead of futures or stocks, such as:

1. Lower Margin

Just like futures and stock speculation, a forex trader has the ability to control a large amount of the currency basically by putting up a small amount of margin. However, the margin requirements that are needed for trading futures are usually around 5% of the full value of the holding, or 50% of the total value of the stocks, the margin requirements for forex is about 1%.

forex news of australia For example, margin required to trade foreign exchange is $1000 for every $100,000. What this means is that trading forex, a currency trader’s money can play with 5-times as much value of product as a futures trader’s, or 50 times more than a stock trader’s. When you are trading on margin, this can be a very profitable way to create an investment strategy, but it’s important that you take the time to understand the risks that are involved as well.

You should make sure that you fully understand how your margin account is going to work. You will want to be sure that you read the margin agreement between you and your clearing firm. You will also want to talk to your account representative if you have any questions.

The positions that you have in your account could be partially or completely liquidated on the chance that the available margin in your account falls below a predetermined amount. You may not actually get a margin call before your positions are liquidated. Because of this, you should monitor your margin balance on a regular basis and utilize stop-loss orders on every open position to limit downside risk.

2. No Commission and No Exchange Fees

When you trade in futures, you have to pay exchange and brokerage fees. Trading forex has the advantage of being commission free. This is far better for you. Currency trading is a worldwide inter-bank market that lets buyers to be matched with sellers in an instant.

Even though you do not have to pay a commission charge to a broker to match the buyer up with the seller, the spread is usually larger than it is when you are trading futures. For example, if you were trading a Japanese Yen/US Dollar pair, forex trade would have about a 3 point spread (worth $30).

Trading a JY futures trade would most likely have a spread of 1 point (worth $10) but you would also be charged the broker’s commission on top of that. This price could be as low as $10 in-and-out for self-directed online trading, or as high as $50 for full-service trading. It is however, all inclusive pricing though. You are going to have to compare both online forex and your specific futures commission charge to see which commission is the greater one.

3. Limited Risk and Guaranteed Stops

When you are trading futures, your risk can be unlimited. For example, if you thought that the prices for Live Cattle were going to continue their upward trend in December 2003, just before the discovery of Mad Cow Disease found in US cattle. The price for it after that fell dramatically, which moved the limit down several days in a row.

You would not have been able to leave your position and this could have wiped out the entire equity in your account as a result. As the price just kept on falling, you would have been obligated to find even more money to make up the deficit in your account.

4. Rollover of Positions

When futures contracts expire, you have to plan ahead if you are going to rollover your trades. Forex positions expire every two days and you need to rollover each trade just so that you can stay in your position.

5. 24-Hour Marketplace

With futures, you are generally limited to trading only during the few hours that each market is open in any one day. If a major news story breaks out when the markets are closed, you will not have a way of getting out of it until the market reopens, which could be many hours away.

Forex, on the other hand, is a 24/5 market. The day begins in New York, and follows the sun around the globe through Europe, Asia, Australia and back to the US again. You can trade any time you like Monday-Friday.

6. Free market place

Foreign exchange is perhaps the largest market in the world with an average daily volume of US$1.4 trillion. That is 46 times as large as all the futures markets put together! With the huge number of people trading forex around the globe, it is very hard for even governments to control the price of their own currency.

Forex Trading Courses in Singapore

January 29th, 2009

A synopsis of what it takes to deal with success trading the forex market

This is the first article of a series whose purpose is both educational and practical.

And above all they aim to be interactive meaning that any comments suggestions or ideas are more than welcome.

forex courses in canada Lets start from the basics. The first thing someone needs is very good education. And this requires a lot of thorough research as there are many sources but not all are worth the money for their services. So in this sense an online forex course could be a good idea along with some books. But here comes the first major problem.

Which course and which books, which aspects to cover? The technical analysis issue? The maxim goes with the trend? The candlesticks analysis? And which system to use and follow? There are thousands of them!

So before we even begin a trader is confused. And confusion is a very bad enemy but it can be arranged. How it can be arranged? With some simple steps. Such as simplicity. The more you know the better chances you have to succeed trading forex and it all comes down to probabilities.

Education is a must to all trading aspects from stocks to futures to forex. But forex has two unique features. High liquidity and extremely high leverage. And although the liquidity is a very good feature high leverage is not. At least not until you know what you are doing. Here we focus again on education.

Besides a participation in a forex course either online or not, an amount that will be put away as an investment for education is the first thing a trader must do. Some ideas are to focus on analyzing the current conditions of the market and to have a bias for a specific currency pair. A system such as following the trend could be the core of a trading strategy. And a demo account with many virtual trades as many as possible for a long period of time is the next step.

Now the most important part of the trading action is to make a plan, stick to it and apply very strict money management rules because if the capital is finished and it very easy this to happen then our trading career will finish within a few days, months or even hours.

Lets face the truth that trading is not easy. It is unfortunately far easier for someone to lose all his account rather than make wild profits beyond each expectation. That is because emotions and psychology are very crucial for success.

Some of the most important emotions are fear, uncertainty, euphoria and revenge. Revenge comes into play very often as when someone loses an amount wants desperately to get it back and often the outcome is that more loses come simply because the trader is on the wrong side of the trend!

Discipline and patience are virtues that distinguish a good trader from a mediocre trader. Without specific goals and a written procedure a trader is like a cargo ship that has sailed without any destination. Someday the fuel will be exhausted and many dangers from the weather to the potential physical damages may happen. Risks exist all the time. The point is how to deal with them.

One of the most useful phrases is taken from the movie Forrest Gump.Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you going to get!

It is true. Be as prepared as possible. Do not let the brokers excite you promising very high returns and extremely high leverage? Do some very thorough research before opening an account funded with real money. Compare the bid-ask spreads and technical support to name only a few aspects.

Be very skeptical to previous results as offered from many signal services. The major aim should be to learn to trade and make your own decisions and not blindly follow some others decisions and opinions. Confidence and experience come with the passage of time.

So we mentioned simplicity before. Being realistic and having a controlled life balance is very important. One major goal should be consistency so as to have the ability to make profits each month and keep them.

Fundamental news is another important issue and in essence the technical analysis is the mirror of fundamentals. Expectations change rapidly and emotions also. And if you think about it emotions and expectations mainly move the forex market.

Most times like the recent Fed rate hike decision a move is under way but the danger is when it will be finished and certainly not getting in at the wrong time after all the move is completed.

The best approach for a trader would be to set specific goals and if achieved then stop trading. The worst idea is to trade in a choppy market where random noise will make it difficult to get specific profits.

So a tested system with very precise rules such as entering exiting and having stop-loss orders may not be a holly grail but is surely one very good approach to start with and focus on it. Pivot points are such a system. At least it is a good start.

They encompass education, discipline, strict criteria, and targets and are a proven system that major players use. They are not foolproof always as nothing is certain but they deal with high probabilities and this is very important.

Also a very practical way is to act as organizes as possible. Meaning that:

1.Develop your own trading journal where you will be writing down your trades and a brief explanation of what made you place a particular trade so as to evaluate performance. Note each day the major economic releases if any because it is often wise to be out of the market before the release of the news and trade only after having a much clearer opinion of what price action may be. Remember it is all about high probabilities.

2.A risk/reward ratio of 1:2 meaning that you risk an amount to get at least the twice if all go well is suggested but sometimes it is best to be conservative and even apply an 1:1 ratio by applying very strict risk management risking no more than 2-3% of total capital per trade. Survival is everything.

3.It would be a good idea from time to time to have breaks from trading. Opportunities exist always so stopping trading when losses of 10-20% maximum of trading capital have accumulated is a good way to revaluate what is going on before a large amount of capital is lost. Trading is not gambling it is a way of investment.

The philosophy should be to define realistic goals such as a number of pips per day and if achieved then stop trading. Greed is another bad enemy of traders. On the contrary the notion of compounding profits and retiring a portion of them each month is a good way to build a solid account and keep monitoring its growth.

So in this first article we touched briefly many ideas from education to psychology to a proven trading system etc. Each idea will have more in depth analysis in the very near future. Your comments and suggestions will help us a lot to focus on what you need or want to analyze. Above all interactive communication brings the best results.

Managed Forex with Performance Records – Past Performance Is Not Indicative of Future Results

An introduction into managed Forex with performance records and in what ways this option can work for some people. Read on to learn more.

For anybody that is intrigued with a highly liquid as well as highly profitable foreign exchange market, managed Forex with performance records is one option that you can take.

Although you do not need to educate yourself about terms, charts, indicators as well as other types of technicalities before you actually taste success in this kind of speculation, the historical data can give you some idea as to what you might expect.

forex trader success stories Moreover, managed Forex with performance records is much simpler and also can be a more sound investment because it means holding accounts in foreign exchange market that will be managed by other traders. These traders are then paid by the investors which hopefully results in growth in their their account. Also, bearing in mind the past performance; you might hope to achieve the same type of results in the future.

Keep Your Expectations Realistic

The benefit in selecting managed Forex with performance records is that you are in a better position than if you trade in a casual manner on your own because Forex market trading demands quite a bit of hard work and not everyone can succeed at it. Also it should not raise your hopes too much in an unrealistic fashion.

With greater than 2 trillion dollars in value of trade being executed on a day-to-day basis in a gigantic market, some individuals might actually end up losing some of their money, which according to various statistics means 90 to 95% of those who lose money are the new traders.

What It Takes

You need to properly learn as much can for managed Forex with performance records or else you stand a chance to lose your shirt, so to speak, quite easily and to become properly educated in this type of field requires spending some money.

Hence, it might be better to just let the experts handle the trading for you and because you are engaging them on the grounds of managed Forex with performance records you will have the ability to see some of their past history and their historical performance and also be in an ideal position to make a judgment to their level of performance.

Past Performance and Future Results

Nevertheless, with regard to managed Forex with performance records, the US federal government has specific rules in place that are less than encouraging towards the account managers when they are revealing the historical performance records with various disclaimers for instance "past performance of any trading system or methodology is not necessarily indicative of future results."

Therefore, though you might consider managed Forex with performance records as being an ideal course of action, you still have to have somewhat of a skeptical mindset of those types of traders that make the claim that there products and services will furnish you with the gigantic returns with a minimum amount of risk.

These types of disclaimers in regards to managed Forex with performance records are in place to protect you and to stop you from getting any unreasonable hopes of receiving assaults results that have been achieved prior to the present since trading is basically speculative.

Forex Predictability

Also, any type of performance results are basically unpredictable which is why the majority of traders, when offering to use their various services will be pretty less than enthusiastic in providing you with prior results, so in that way you will not have excessive expectations from them.

The bottom line is that managed Forex with performance records will only help potential customers recognize what the possibilities are when pursuing this type of Forex trading, although they’re typically are disclaimers provided that will assist in protecting the Forex managers from any type of legal liability should their future performance not match their past achievements.
