The 6 Advantages Forex Trading Has Over Other Investments
By David Morrison, Wed Dec 7th

There are many different advantages to trading forex instead offutures or stocks, such as:

1. Lower Margin Just like futures and stock speculation, a forextrader has the ability to control a large amount of the currencybasically by putting up a small amount of margin. However, themargin requirements that are needed for trading futures areusually around 5% of the full value of the holding, or 50% ofthe total value of the stocks, the margin requirements for forexis about 1%. For example, margin required to trade foreignexchange is $1000 for every $100,000. What this means is thattrading forex, a trader's money can play with 5-timesas much value of product as a futures trader's, or 50 times morethan a stock trader's. When you are trading on margin, this canbe a very profitable way to create an investment strategy, butit's important that you take the time to understand the risksthat are involved as well. You should make sure that you fullyunderstand how your margin account is going to work. You willwant to be sure that you read the margin agreement between youand your clearing firm. You will also want to talk to youraccount representative if you have any questions.

The positions that you have in your account could be partiallyor completely liquidated on the chance that the available marginin your account falls below a predetermined amount. You may notactually get a margin call before your positions are liquidated.Because of this, you should monitor your margin balance on aregular basis and utilize stop-loss orders on every openposition to limit downside risk.


2. No Commission and No Exchange Fees When you trade in futures,you have to pay exchange and brokerage fees. Trading forex hasthe advantage of being commission free. This is far better foryou. trading is a worldwide inter-bank market that letsbuyers to be matched with sellers in an instant.

Even though you do not have to pay a commission charge to abroker to match the buyer up with the seller, the spread isusually larger than it is when you are trading futures. Forexample, if you were trading a Japanese Yen/US Dollar pair,forex trade would have about a 3 point spread (worth $30).Trading a JY futures trade would most likely have a

spread of 1point (worth $10) but you would also be charged the broker'scommission on top of that. This price could be as low as $10in-and-out for self-directed online trading, or as high as $50for full-service trading. It is however, all inclusive pricingthough. You are going to have to compare both online forex andyour specific futures commission charge to see which commissionis the greater one. 3. Limited Risk and Guaranteed Stops Whenyou are trading futures, your risk can be unlimited. Forexample, if you thought that the prices for Live Cattle weregoing to continue their upward trend in December 2003, justbefore the discovery of Mad Cow Disease found in US cattle. Theprice for it after that fell dramatically, which moved the limitdown several days in a row. You would not have been able toleave your position and this could have wiped out the entireequity in your account as a result. As the price just kept onfalling, you would have been obligated to find even more moneyto make up the deficit in your account.

4. Rollover of Positions When futures contracts expire, you haveto plan ahead if you are going to rollover your trades. Forexpositions expire every two days and you need to rollover eachtrade just so that you can stay in your position.

5. 24-Hour Marketplace With futures, you are generally limitedto trading only during the few hours that each market is open inany one day. If a major news story breaks out when the marketsare closed, you will not have a way of getting out of it untilthe market reopens, which could be many hours away. Forex, onthe other hand, is a 24/5 market. The day begins in New York,and follows the sun around the globe through Europe, Asia,Australia and back to the US again. You can trade any time youlike Monday-Friday.

6. Free market place Foreign exchange is perhaps the largestmarket in the world with an average daily volume of US$1.4trillion. That is 46 times as large as all the futures marketsput together! With the huge number of people trading forexaround the globe, it is very hard for even governments tocontrol the price of their own currency.
