Time order trading practice |
|
Actually
the forex trading procedure that will be explained below have entered into
the middle and advanced level, which I assume you already understand how to
make a prediction using the indicator and you can read the market trends, if
you are a beginner you should still use Virtual money, but if you have more
advanced can try it with real money.
Previously let's
learn how to calculate Quantity and Margin availability.
How to calculate the Quantity, and
profit per pips.
If you intend to
use real money then the maximum amount of quantity that you can enter for $
5 is 500 quantity, but you do not enter all of it, you should only enter a
maximum of 20% or only 100 quantity, with the intention that you still have
the availability of margin if you loss up to a few pips.
|
FOREX TERM |
Quantity
=
|
Marketiva term used for the amount of
allocation money you use in the transaction (quantity = amount of
allocated money X 100). |
|
Margin = |
Is the maximum amount of your
funds that can be put in the transaction |
|
Margin Call = |
Termination of the transaction
which in progress due to the amount of your
remaining margin is less than 1%. |
To find out the maximum amount of quantity
of your funds is to multiply it by 100:
If your fund is $ 5 then 5 X 100 = 500, so your
maximum quantity is 500.
To find out how much profit you earn each
pips, based on the number of quantity your allocated,
then we should see the currency pair that you use. The calculation for the
currency pair EUR / USD and GBP / USD is as follows:
If your quantity allocation is 100, then 100 / 10,000 = 0.01, so
the profit for each pips is $ 0.01.
If every day you get 20 pips (equal
to $ 0.2) then in a month (20 working days) you will get $ 4, so that the
total amount of money you will be $ 9. Same with 80% of your early
funds, try to compare to the bank
savings interest, is there any bank that can provide up to 80%
interest per month?
|
PLEASE NOTE |
Allocation the
quantity reasonably do not use beyond 20%, more safe use only 5% to
10%.
Do not be too impetuous to get many benefits to hundreds of pips per
day, set pips target acquisition you want per day, for beginners
benefit 10 to 20 pips per day is enough, take into account the
possibility of loss and always install the SL for each transaction. |
How to see margin and
its availability.
Please see the Portfolio window
in the bottom left of the Streamster Marketiva
display.
 |
Here we can see there is a running
transaction on the EUR / USD with 100
quantity, with Live Forex mode and gain profit
-2.5. (minus 2.5 U.S. Dollars).
From the total amount
of funds 5 U.S. Dollars,
in Live Forex mode using 1 U.S. Dollar margin
(100 quantity),
with the availability of margin 1.5 U.S.
Dollars (150 quantity),
and with total
profit -2.5 U.S. Dollars (250 minus quantity).
That means the
position is currently loss -250 pips. |
|
If this position does not improve
immediately and continue loss until -395 pips means that under 1% of the
total margin, your transactions will be stopped by Marketiva and will
appear a window like this, which is also known as a Margin Call. |
 |
Set the time the transaction
automatically in appropriate order.
Besides we can set a limit of profit (TP) and
the loss limit (SL), we can also set the time to open the position of the
transaction (OP) at a later time we want. Suppose the current EUR / USD
position at 1.4850 are and you want to open a position only if the EUR / USD
penetrate 1.4900, with the profit target to 100
pips.
Transactions with the time order is usually
made by forex traders which
see the movement opportunity based on the indicators they use, but
they do not want to open a position at that time because there is a
possibility the market will reverse the direction,
while to wait until the position is achieved will take
long time, therefore this facility is used so that the forex trader
can turn off their
computer and do other activities.
In addition, this facility can also be used
to make traps where you predict the market will have a major
movement but not sure whether to go up or go down,
for example: At this time, EUR / USD position at 1.4850 and you set
the transactions will occur if the position of EUR / USD go up
and penetrate the 1.4900 point,
and if the EUR / USD going down, the
transaction will occur if the EUR / USD penetrate 1.4800
point, so that wherever the direction of the market then you will
still profit. But this technique requires special
expertise and more experience, do not do that if
you do not understand the market.

This facility can be found on the
Send Order window on the Price Type option where if you click
the drop-down menu will appear three options
which are: Market, Stop
and Limit.
Market Order
If you want to do buy or sell transactions at this
time on the existing market position, the order
transaction will executed directly into the market
that are currently running.
Stop Order
If you want to do a buy transactions above the
market price, or want to do a sell transactions
under the market price which is currently running.
In other words, if you believe the chart
direction will continue go to the top, then you
make a buy order, whereas if you believe the chart
direction will continue go to the bottom, then you
make a sale order.
Stop orders implemented
if you estimate the direction of the chart will continue to penetrate
a one point according to the certain directions,
with the possibility if
that point can not be
penetrated the chart will be turn directions.
Example:
current EUR / USD chart is at the 1.4834 point,
and you estimated if it continues to penetrate
the 1.4850 then the charts will continue to
rise above 1.4870 (see picture on the right).
Therefore you do the stop order for the
position 1.4850
point, with profit target in 20 pips
above of that order position (1.4870) and stop
loss 30 pips below the order position
(1.4820). To
do this order, as usual right-click on the
chart and select the buy/sell menu, and then

Streamster software display,
such as the following:

At the position have been determined then
your order will be executed, in this example
the order executed when chart touches the
number 1.4853 (due to 3 pips spread
of EUR / USD), as in the image on the left

number 1.4873 your transaction is completed in accordance with the estimated
target, see in the image on the right top.
Advantages:
If the chart movement turn to the opposite direction, then your order will
not execute, so you avoid loss due to incorrect estimates.
Disadvantages:
You may lose a few potential pips profit than if you do a market order
manually, because you do order a few pips to more than the position at this
time.
Limit Order
If you want to do a buy transaction below the
market price or to do a sell transaction above
the market price that running at this time.
In other words, if you believe that the direction of the
chart will go down at first
time, and after that will ascend to the
top, then you do order to buy when the
chart in below position,
whereas if you are sure that the direction of the
chart will rise to the top and then
continue down to the bottom, so you do order to
sell when the chart in
above position.
Limit Order is made if you estimate the
direction of the graph will rebound to the opposite direction and will
continue to penetrate a certain number,where you take the profit with
open the transaction at the time of reversal
direction occurs.
Example:
At this time EUR / USD chart is on the 1.4831
point, and you estimate the chart will come down to touch 1.4820
before finally rising to the top to penetrate 1.4840 (see picture on the
right).
Therefore you do the limit order for the
position 1.4820
point, with profit target in 20 pips
above of that order position (1.4840) and stop
loss 30 pips below the order position
(1.4790). To
