FXCM is one of the largest forex online trading brokers. Recently they have introduced a flexi spread that goes as low as 2 pips on EUR/USD and USD/JPY currency pairs during certain trading hours. A minimum to open their account is $300 which they call a mini account allowing for up to 200 to 1 leverage. These can be also denominated in Australian dollars, Euros and British Pounds.The regular

I have tried several online trading brokers and Marketiva offers some unique features.Marketiva is based out of Switzerland and offers a nice forex trading application integrating chat forum as well as very nice graphics interface.I have seen charting with many more features but as far as sleekness goes this one wins an award :-) Very easy to use, fast, scallable and intuitive interface.The chat

Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) has recently released a new addition in the free online searchable data called Google Trends Labs And this one looks like it might add some interesting new info for the online trading community as well.I think it would be neat if you could run some trading indicators on the new Google data there but even as it is you can see a definite correspondence between these charts and

The Fibonacci Vortex is a relatively new trading and charting tool. Simmilar to the Fibo retracement, timeline, fan and arch it deals with the Fibonacci ratios. Interestingly though, it is based on plotting of the actual Fibonacci spirals directly on the price charts, as in the example above.For the purpose of predicting future price movements the Fibonacci Vortex is first centered at the recent

The Stochastic Oscillator originally comes from George C. Lane. Its main parameter being measured is called %K and the formula for it is as follows:%K = (RecentClose - LowestLow)/(HighestHigh-LowestLow)As with most of the complex indicators it would be quite some task trying to compute and plot it on paper but with the modern online trading software it is very easy to utilize this indicator.The

There is another category of trendlines that I have not mentioned in the previous post because it is almost a whole world onto itself. And it is of course the Finconacci Trendlines.As the history goes, the Fibonacci numeric properties in nature were first observed and classified by the Italian mathematician Leonardo Pisano Fibonacci (1170-1250). The Fibonacci numbers are 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13,

Trendlines are very handy in charting and analyzing investment positions in both offline and online trading.One of the simplest trendlines is a vertical trendline. This trendline is often used to simply denote the time of occurrence of a certain event relating to the chart, like a news release, market opening/closing, given time of the day or night and so on.The other basic trendline is a

Volume Price Trend Indicator or VPT for short, is one of the simplest financial trending indicators. It is used to determine the balance between the financial instrument's supply and demand. The percentage change of the indicator relates to the supply/demand ratio while the volume itself reveals the magnitude of the changes at hand.The VPT often spikes up in accelerated trading as when for

Moving Average is one of the most commonly used trading indicators. There are several variations of it.Perhaps the most common one is the Simple Moving Average or SMA for short. It is being normally derived by adding closing prices of a market and then dividing it by the number of time periods involved. The process is repeated for each time period and resulting curves are usually much smoother

Trading Indicators are normaly certain parameters derived from previous trading activity data of a given financial venue at hand, such as a commodity, forex or stock. By extending the indicators' parameters into the future an insight can be gained as to the likely future behavior of such financial price action.For the ease of use such data are often plotted on charts for a quick visual reference
