Hedging in Forex Trading ?

James — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 13:55:26 +0000

Just like in the stock market, forex investors often use a strategy called hedging to reduce some of the risk involved in trading. Many people believe in hedging transactions like buying an insurance policy for their currency position. It acts more or less the same way. Using investment vehicles known to financial futures, Forex traders can rest easy knowing that all losses are covered by the backup plan.

A type of financial instrument futures that many forex traders use to hedge a position is a futures contract, which is an agreement for the exchange of one currency to another at a specified futures price at the last the closing date. The contract currency futures are bought and sold on the forex market just like any other instrument such as shares or currencies.

For example, say you used to use the dollars to take a long position in euros on the forex market, but you are worried that the price of euro fell against the dollar. One thing you could do is buy a futures contract dollars using euros. As external factors affecting the prices of currencies, the price of futures contracts up and down as well, allowing your contract to Euro-dollars to offset your long position in euros. If the euro weakens, the price of futures contract rises, and vice versa. Thus, you have therefore eliminated the risk of your investment money.

Another form of hedging in the forex market is practiced regularly by companies who trade internationally with many clients in Europe. A weaker euro would cost money in the long run because the original price quoted in euros does not result in as many dollars. Taking a long position in dollars using the euro, the company would just as much money on the Forex it lost to fall on the value of the euro. Similarly, if it loses money on the forex market due to a fall in the dollar, the company would compensate the increase in profits due to the greater value of the euro on the sale of its products.

The Effect of Inflation to Us

James — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 10:53:46 +0000

Inflation is an increase in commodity prices and a decline in the purchasing power of each dollar. Nowadays, it is made acceptable to have a steady inflation of about 1% to 4% annually. However, excessive inflation or an unexpected increase in inflation may be harmful. Inflation can affect a variety of businesses and industries, particularly lenders. Moreover, people living on fixed incomes, like pensioners or disabled people can see their purchasing power decline. Government grants are adjusted periodically for inflation, however, happens only once every few years. During the period between inflation and adjustment, inflation may cause sudden drop in purchasing power for people on fixed incomes, reducing their living standards by reducing their consumption of goods and services. Fixed income from private sources, such as pension plans, may or may not be adjusted for inflation, by forcing addicts to be subjected to risks of inflation.

Moreover, the greatest rate of inflation have caused uncertainty about the direction that will take the economy for the future. This can lead to a certain fear of spending for individual and business, until they feel comfortable in economic conditions. The decrease in spending even more thus affect the economy by reducing sales by suppliers of goods and services. Meanwhile, the prices increase and workers will expect higher wages to compensate. This demand for higher wages, combined with lower demand for goods and services, can lead to a rise in unemployment, forcing companies to thank their employees.

In general, inflation affects the majority of society. However, we can say that everything is fine provided that economic activity continued at a respectable pace, and inflation did not benefit too much to those who have relatively high levels of real assets (ie property, material, etc.. ). This is because inflation reassess the value of assets higher, while the relative value of debt increases.

5 Essential Tips to Secure Your Online Credit Card Transaction (Part 2)

James — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 14:13:25 +0000

Now, lets continue our last discussion about important tips for you when making online payment using your credit card.

2 – Integrity of the components of the transaction

It is vital that the transaction between two partners is not disputed in amount, date or place of execution. The integrity checks, which are also mechanisms for encryption, can ensure that a transaction could not be altered in the transport network, either by loss of binary information which would alter the original character, or maliciously.

3 – Privacy

Encryption techniques are designed to keep secret the contents of a transaction. The most commonly used protocols on the network (SSL, HTTPS, MIME) that allow privacy.

If it is timely for the content of an exchange or transaction, it has limited value for an act of payment. Indeed, if players want to unwind the transaction, it will always reveal the consumer to the merchant the purchase amount, the nature of the medium of payment, where payment can be collected, etc..

This is one of the great mistakes of electronic commerce that reminds consumers that their transactions are “safe” because they can not be “read” on the network.

However, most of the protection is not in the confidentiality of records of payment but in the retention of personal data (given that piracy is more information on current information stored on the information in transit from one consumer and a merchant).

It can undermine the very principle of authentication for reasons of anonymity purchases and payments.

This point is also very quickly became a paradox of trade on the Internet where data protection is an important subject of international debate. It was well illustrated by American cartoonist showing a dog behind a screen with the subtitle “On the net, nobody knows you’re a dog!” (Over the net, nobody knows you’re a dog “), illustrating the strength of anonymity of the new media.

It has been known that this is not with cookies and the prospects of one to one marketing. For payment, anonymity is inconceivable.

4 – Non-repudiation

As for payment, the term “repudiation” is abusive. It is better to speak of a dispute.

We must distinguish the challenge of payment to its finality. A payment can always be challenged and doubt is raised by providing evidence, but the law requires it is always binding if made by check or credit card.

Clearly, a consumer can always, good or bad faith dispute a payment or order. But if not satisfied with the order which is delivered (delayed, undelivered, Ill), it can provided “withdraw” his request for payment and his bank not to pay. It must be reported to the merchant, then it is a commercial dispute which treatment is part of no return.

The challenge of a payment should be made impossible for the officer by the implementation of appropriate encryption techniques.

5 – Terms of archiving

Archiving is essential: it serves to search and allows for example to provide evidence of payments in case of dispute. But it poses a real security problem. The biggest risk for a trader is not to protect data relating to a payment or not to insure their protection if they are treated by one third. It must therefore be attentive to the protection of sites and, in the case of outsourcing to a third party (bank service company), the contractual clauses on this point.

A collection of card numbers can be particularly attractive to a hacker. There are identifiers of cards in circulation and not opposing it can use, or disseminate (as was the case in 1999 with a major record retailer U.S. online, CD Universe).

The data stored by providers must be preserved and replicated, if possible in two separate locations. Data retention also meets the legal requirements of time consistent with the use of different means of payment.
