didalam dunia FOrex atau Foreign Exchange ada beberapa istilah yang membingungkan, karena akhir akhir ini, saya sedang sangat tertarik banget untuk belajar forex, maka jadilah saya googling sana sini untuk memahaminya, sebagai pembelajaran saya menggunakan virtual akun marketiva, mungkin kalau dah profesional akan coba pakai fxpro or something... dilansir dari http://www.tradingcurrencyonline.com/mechanics_of_forex.html dalam dunia forex, sebelum kamu memasuki pasar, kamu harus bisa menentukan apakah ingin menjadi Bull atau Bear? bingung dengan istilah tersebut? disitus tersebut dijelaskan: BULL : kamu berpandangan bahwa harga akan NAIK BEAR: kamu berpandangan bahwa harga akan TURUN Oke sebagai contoh, kita akan memasuki pasar dengan berpandangan BULL. Karena kita berpandangan BULL , pada kasus ini EUR/USD, kita berharap harganya akan menjulang tinggi sehingga target kita adalah membeli pada saat harga rendah dan menunggu sampai harganya naik mencapai titik tertentu sehingga kita bisa menjualnya untuk mendapatkan untung. Harapannya demikian. Ketika kita melakukan posisi BULL, bisa juga dikatakan melakukan posisi LONG pada mata uang EUR/USD. Kita akan membeli EURO dan menjual US Dolor, ketika kamu membeli suatu mata uang maka pada waktu bersamaan kamu juga menjual mata uang yang sebaliknya. Dan vise versa. Ingat ketika EURO menguat, maka Dolor akan melemah, sehingga apabila kita ingin berlibur ke eropa harganya tambah mahal. So anyway we have decided to become a Bull and take a "long" position in this EUR/USD trade, let's check it out... # 1 – Price has broken through the down trend line so we decide that there is a high probability that the price is going to continue up. More on trend lines in later articles. #2 – We place a buy order with our broker which is automatically executed through our trade station. We enter the market at $1.1950 Because we are buying the EUR/USD pair, we are actually buying Euros and selling dollars because we believe the Euro is going to appreciate in relation to the dollar. #3 – The Stop-Loss A stop loss is a buy or sell order set at a predetermined location that acts as a safety net limiting your risk in case the price does not go the way you expect it to. There are many different methods for determining how and where to place the stop loss, but if there was ever one rule you should live by when trading, it would be… NEVER EVER trade without a stop loss order in place. One method for determining the location of a stop loss when buying is to place it under the last low which is the method used in this example. So we enter the market at 1.1950 and place a stop loss order at 1.1700. This means we have determined that 250 pips ( 1950 minus 1700 ) is an acceptable risk on this trade. If you are trading a FOREX mini account 250 pips (Price Interest Points) would be $250.00. If the price does not go up, but instead goes down, when it hits your stop loss order it is automatically executed and you are taken out of the market at your predetermined loss. Of course you could lessen your risk and place your stop loss only 50 pips or even 30 pips or less below your entry price. But as we will see in later articles, price usually does not go straight up or down but instead it waves up and down so if you place your stop to close to your entry point and the price waves back down a little before continuing up, it could hit your stop loss if it is set to close and take you out of the market at a loss just before price continues in your anticipated direction. # 4 - It is often said that exiting the trade is harder than entering. Think about it, you are in a profitable trade and the question now is where do you get out? What if price turns around and starts to go against you? How much of your profits are you willing to give up before you exit? What if you panic too soon and exit just as the price turns your way again and climbs 80 more pips? There are many methods to determine when you should exit, in our simple example we will connect the price lows with a line creating a up trend line. Once price starts to trend, which will be discussed in later articles, it usually continues in that direction for some time. When the price completely breaks through a trend line, the chance of a reversal is high so that is usually considered a good time to get out of the market. The trend is no longer our friend but has come to an end so it's time to bail out. In this case we exited at 1.2650 #5 – We can see from the TIME scale at the bottom of the chart that this trade lasted 30 trading days. A trade that lasts this long is called a POSITION trade. While we are on the subject, the different popular types of trades are: Which type of trader you are will depend on your personality, style, objectives, etc. So let's look at our trade... Entered the market at 1.1950 on a trend line break – we bought Euros Exited the market at 1.2650 on a trend line break – we sold the Euros which increased in value 7 cents Total pips = 700 On a mini account that would be a profit of $700.00 On a full size account that would be a profit of $7000.00 That is a simple example of how you make money going "long" or by being a "bull." The next page will give an example of a "bear" trade or going "short."
