* Hedge Funds
As we know the FX market can be extremely liquid which is why it can be desirable to trade. Hedge Funds have increasingly allocated portions of their portfolios to speculate on the FX market.
Another advantage Hedge Funds can utilize is a much higher degree of leverage than would typically be found in the equity markets.
* Corporate Businesses
The FX market mainstay is that of international trade. Many companies have to import or exports goods to different countries all around the world. Payment for these goods and services may be made and received in different currencies. Many billions of dollars are exchanges daily to facilitate trade. The timing of those transactions can dramatically affect a company's balance sheet.
The Man In The Street
Although you may not think it, the man in the street also plays a part in toady's FX world. Every time he goes on holiday overseas he normally need to purchase that country's currency and again change it back into his own currency once he returns. Unwittingly he is in fact trading currencies.
He may also purchase goods and services whilst overseas and his credit card company has to convert those sales back into his base currency in order to charge him.

* Interest Rate Parity
IRP states that an appreciation (depreciation) of one currency against another currency must be neutralized by a change in the interest rate differential. If US interest rates exceed Japanese interest rates, then the US dollar should depreciate against the Japanese yen by an amount that prevents riskless arbitrage. The future exchange rate is reflected into the forward exchange rate stated today. In our example, the forward exchange rate of the dollar is said to be at discount because it buys fewer Japanese yen in the forward rate than it does in the spot rate. The yen is said to be at a premium.
IRP showed no proof of working after the 1990s. Contrary to the theory, currencies with higher interest rates characteristically appreciated rather than depreciated on the reward of future containment of inflation and a higher yielding currency.
* Balance of Payments Model
This model holds that a foreign exchange rate must be at its equilibrium level—the rate that produces a stable current account balance. A nation with a trade deficit will experience a reduction in its foreign exchange reserves, which ultimately lowers (depreciates) the value of its currency. The cheaper currency renders the nation' goods (exports) more affordable in the global market place while making imports more expensive. After an intermediate period, imports are forced down and exports rise, thus stabilizing the trade balance and the currency towards equilibrium.
Like PPP, the balance of payments model focuses largely on tradable goods and services, while ignoring the increasing role of global capital flows. In other words, money is not only chasing goods and services, but to a larger extent, financial assets such as stocks and bonds. Such flows go into the capital account item of the balance of payments, thus, balancing the deficit in the current account. The increase in capital flows has given rise to the Asset Market Model.
The global distribution of reserves of foreign...Understanding Fundamental Analysis
The two primary approaches of analyzing currency markets are fundamental analysis and technical analysis. Fundamentals focus on financial and economic theories, as well as political developments to determine forces of supply and demand. One clear point of distinction between fundamentals and technicals is that fundamental analysis studies the causes of market movements, while technical analysis studies the effects of market movements.
Fundamental analysis comprises the examination of macroeconomic indicators, asset markets, and political considerations when evaluating one nation's currency relative to another. Macroeconomic indicators include figures such as growth rates; as measured by Gross Domestic Product, interest rates, inflation, unemployment, money supply, foreign exchange reserves and productivity. Asset markets comprise stocks, bonds, and real estate. Political considerations impact the level of confidence in a nation's government, the climate of stability and level of certainty.
Sometimes governments stand in the way of market forces impacting their currencies, and hence, intervene to keep currencies from deviating markedly from undesired levels. Currency interventions are conducted by central banks and usually have a notable, albeit a temporary, impact on FX markets. A central bank could undertake unilateral purchases/sales of its currency against another currency; or engage in a concerted intervention in which it collaborates with other central banks for a much more pronounced effect. Alternatively, some countries can manage to move their currencies, merely by hinting, or threatening to intervene.

Technical Analysis
Technical analysis is the study of market action, primarily through the use the movement of charts for the purpose of forecasting future price trends movement.
Technicians use technical indicators, chart patterns & technical strategies to forecast the next movement of the chart & compare it with the previous the run the trade in that base of comparison.
Types Of Charts
What are charts?
A chart or graph is a type of information graphic or graphic organizer that represents tabular numeric data and/or functions that it is a graph of the price movements of a given security over a given time period, sometimes along with volume data.
Charts are often used to make it easier to understand large quantities of data and the relationship between different parts of the data.
Certain types of charts are more useful for presenting a given data set than others.
The charts are one of the main interests at Sigma.
Charts are a statistically noticeably technical analysis tool for a trader that wants to carry out successful trading.
Currency charts bring clearly a single period of time and that period could range from one minute to one month to several years.
Charts are the main tool that technical analysts use in order to plot data and predict prices.
According to the above chart,
Y axis represents prices
X axis represent period which can be customized within that range: M1, M5, M15, M30, H1, H4, D1, W1 and MN where M is minuets, H is hours, D is days, W is week and MN is months.
The fluctuations in the chart based on the demand & supply in the market & for that the technical analysis made to predict the next events by using different indicators.
Most of traders use daily charts & intraday date to forecast short-term price movements.
Most of investors use weekly & monthly charts to forecast long-term price movements.
Others might use combination between short-term & long-term charts.
What are support, resistance & trend?
Support: is the price level at which demand is strong enough to prevent the price from declining further.
Resistance: is the price level at which selling is strong enough to prevent the price from rising further.
- There is no support without resistance & there is no fixed support or fixed resistance in which each support can be a resistance next period by breaking prices below a support level, the broken support level can turn into resistance & Visa versa.
- It’s very difficult to predict the next support or next resistance
Trend: A trend line is a straight line that connects two or more price points and then extends into the future to act as line support or resistance. There are three cases
Uptrend: is a connection between two or more low prices in which the second price must be higher tan the first price (It acts as support line).
Downtrend: Is a connection between two or more high prices in which the second must be lower than the first price (It act as resistance line).
What are types of charts?
There are three types of charts in Sigma platform:
1) Bar Chart: It’s a style of chart used by some technical analysts where the top of the vertical line indicates the highest price a security traded at during the day, and the bottom represents the lowest price. The closing price is displayed on the right side of the bar, and the opening price is shown on the left side of the bar. A single bar like the one below represents one day of trading.
2) Line chart: It’s a style of charts created by connecting series of points together in a line.
It’s the most popular chart but has less use by the technical analytics.
This chart does not show what happened during the time unit selected by the viewer, only closing rates for such time intervals. The line chart is a simple tool for setting support and resistance levels.
3) Candlestick Chart: It’s the oldest types of charts developed in the 18th century by legendary Japanese rice trader Homma Munehisa, this style of charting is very popular due to the level of ease in reading and understanding the graphs.
Each candlestick includes the open, high, low, and close, of the timeframe, and also shows the direction (upward or downward), and the range of the timeframe.
Below are examples of candlesticks and a definition for each candlestick component:
British pounds, Danish kroner, Euros, and Cana...
