Regulation of the foreign exchange market in the U.S. is considered one of the toughest, but at the same time the most reliable in the world. Its mechanism is built on the principle of maximum protection of clients from fraudulent actions, although some features of the regulation are still a topic of active discussion. Today we will look at how regulation functions in the United States. The two most authoritative financial regulators in the United States are responsible for regulating the currency market: the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the National Futures Association (NFA). The CFTC was created in 1974 with the original function of regulating the futures market. In 2010, the U.S. Congress passed the Dodd-Franc Act of 2010 to reform the futures market...

It's time to understand how exactly the EU regulation is implemented. The legal basis of regulation in the EU It should be noted at once that in the European Union, unlike other countries, there is no single regulator.

Как сказал великий русский поэт Федор Тютчев: «Умом Россию не понять, аршином общим не измерить» и с этим нельзя не согласиться. Даже международный валютный рынок , придя в Россию, приобрел свои особенные черты, которые необходимо учитывать при торговле. Так чем же отличается российский ? Российские и «российские» -брокеры В первую очередь, нужно обратить внимание на один из важнейших моментов, о котором большинство трейдеров не знают. Всех брокеров в России можно условно разделить на две категории: – российские брокеры, лицензированные ЦБ РФ; – брокеры, предоставляющие свои услуги российским клиентам и работающие на русском языке. Казалось бы, разницы нет, однако, на самом…

Why do novice brokers choose MT4? The MetaTrader4 trading platform is incredibly popular, despite its advanced age. It appeared in 2005, but even now, 11 years later, 80% traders and brokers are still working on it. It is not surprising that many beginning brokers choose it as their main trading platform. It is a reliable, efficient and cost-effective solution for those who are starting out with limited investment capital and cannot afford several trading platforms at once. However, in this case, the cost of an additional platform is not cancelled, but postponed to a later date, because you will still have to switch to MT5. Why can't I do without MT5 anyway? К...

Today I will consider the problem of trader's psychology when choosing a broker. We will talk about how to avoid all the marketing traps and increase the deposit or at least save it. What do traders face when choosing a broker? So, when a trader decides to earn at the market, he needs an intermediary, which gives him access to this very market, i.e. a broker. It is a difficult task both for a beginner and an experienced trader, because the abundance of well-thought-out promises of easy enrichment, which press on the most subconscious emotions, is off the scale. Here the experienced trader has a small advantage - he doesn't hurry to believe the promises, but carries out a certain verification. But about this later....

Но очень часто полученные бонусы оборачиваются против клиента и вместо того, чтобы увеличивать его прибыль только ускоряют процесс обнуления депозита.

Large financial institutions (banks and prime brokers), which form the international currency market, are generally considered to be suppliers of quotations (or liquidity providers). Big players unite in networks for joint trading, from where brokers can transmit the quotes to their clients to the retail market. Quote providers, aggregators, and no manipulation! There is no solely correct quotation supplier, each market participant may become a market maker and organize his own exchange. What you see in the terminal is just a current market slice, indicative quotes, the real availability of liquidity on which is never guaranteed. Quotes that come into the terminal form a book of quotations - the prices of limit orders in conjunction with the volume. The best prices of the market stack are displayed on the...

It is hardly possible to find a trader who has never encountered a broker's requirement to provide documents confirming his identity, place of residence and other personal data. On the one hand, the financial company's desire to identify its clients is understandable and justified - we are not surprised by the need to show a passport for any banking transaction, even the exchange of a more or less large amount in foreign currency. On the other hand, the client verification requirements often become a manipulative tool in the hands of an unscrupulous broker, which allows delaying the moment of client's profit and investment payout or even refusing to withdraw the funds. So what is the notorious procedure of verification at the broker, for what...

In this issue I would like to move away from the work-life advice on how to become richer, more efficient and more fortunate to turn again to the issue of trading. Today I want to share with you my thoughts on the subject of opening accounts by brokers for beginners at . The idea for this article comes from talking about the fact that the Russian regulator considers introducing to the market only professional traders, i.e. those speculators, who have already confirmed their qualification by passing professional exams. Let's think about whether or not a beginner trader really needs such a strong "care". To begin with I suggest thinking about two fundamental questions: "Who is a beginner at?" and "Why does one lose...

Due to the specifics of my work, I often communicate with the managers of various brokerage companies. There is probably no broker in Russia that is so popular that I do not have an opportunity to discuss the events in the industry with one way or another. So, lately the main issue worrying the companies became active and very frequent bankruptcies of the brokers, which were quite strong and did not cause distrust. Of course, this problem worries traders even more, who pay for it out of their own pockets several times a year. Our staff magazine traders have also left about 2500$ in companies that have already disappeared (acquaintances didn't help at all :)), so in my today's article I...

Maximum reduction of trading costs is a natural desire of any participant of financial markets, and no wonder that for traders the size of spread is one of the most important factors when choosing a brokerage company, and for brokers it is a powerful competitive advantage and a lever of attracting clients. Following such logic one can suppose that the lower the level at which the broker will fix the spread for one or another financial instrument, the more profitable the trade of its clients will be. But in practice it is not always true. Moreover, most big brokerage companies offer along with low fixed spreads floating spreads, the size of which is not limited and not regulated anywhere. И...

Beginning of the article Let's look at the EUR/USD tick chart of the largest liquidity provider, Swiss bank Ducascopy. BID and ASK charts are presented. Current time: 15:00 (MSK), 14.02.2015. The market is relatively calm: no news and no macroeconomic indicators are published during the hour. A 1000 ms wide window has been arbitrarily selected. There are 44 different values inside this window. If you move the window one step forward, the number of ticks will increase to 50. Let's assume that the trade server allows you to conduct operations with a delay of 500 ms (which is an excellent result). Attempting to sell at the initially stated price of 1.12770 could result in more than 35 retracements by the bank, before...
