Currency Futures Trading
Currency Futures are transferable futures contracts that specify a price of a
specific currency that can be bought or sold at a future date.
Currency futures allow traders to hedge against foreign exchange risks. These
contracts correlate with the market on a daily basis.
The New York Board of Trade (NYBOT) trades currency futures and establishes
pricing and standards for traders.
Foreign exchange trading continues to be expanded to include a wide variety of
countries in different regions.
All FINEX currency futures trade on a quarterly basis, listing contracts for
March, June, September and December
Currency
Futures Trading Software
Having the right tool for the job is critical. Ask any currency trader what
trading tools or types of financial analysis he is using and you're probably
going to hear Stochastics,
Fibonacci,
MacD, moving averages, etc.
Trading software can be used to augment an existing approach by supplying a
broadened perspective. The key to a currency trading system is its ability to
forecast moving averages! One of the better software products is
VantagePoint trading
software that will help to “see” what is likely to happen in the market that you
are trading before other traders (using only a single market analysis) catch
wind of it. Frequently the crossover indicator flashes an early warning that the
currency futures market is likely to make a top or bottom even before it
actually happens!
