Are you new in the Forex market? This market may sound really complicated and scary to trade in but it’s not. Just like in any other kind of trade, you make money when you buy low and sell high. Forex trading is simply trading currencies in the Forex market.

Forex is the largest financial market in the world. It generates trillions of dollars of currency exchanges everyday and it operates 24 hours a day and seven days a week therefore, also making it the most liquid market in the world.

In the world of Forex, trading is very unique compared to other financial markets like stocks. Since the Forex market operates 24 hours a day worldwide, which starts in Sydney and ends in New York, trading is not centralized in one location. You can trade in Forex whenever you want regardless of the local time.

In the past, Forex trading was only offered to large financial institutions like banks, large companies, multi-national corporations and large currency dealers. This was due primarily to the large and extremely strict financial requirements the Forex market imposed. This means that individual traders and small businesses are not able to participate in this liquid market.

However, in the late 90s, Forex was made available to individual traders and small businesses. This is due to the advances in the communications technology. High speed internet made it possible for people to enter the Forex market and have become one of the best make money at home businesses.

Forex trading is getting more and more popular each day. Who wouldn’t want to trade in the largest and the most liquid financial market in the world? Trading in Forex will certainly give you the opportunity to earn a lot of money. However, trading in this ever liquid market also has its risk. It is a fact that many people who traded in Forex lost a substantial amount of money and some of these people are seasoned traders.

This is why it is very important for you, as a beginner trader in the Forex market, to have the proper knowledge and education on how to trade in the Forex market. Firstly, there are hundreds or even thousands of available websites on the internet that offer Forex education. Some of these websites offer dummy Forex trading where you can practice trading in the Forex market using play money.

These programs will really take you closer to actually trading in Forex. Many experts say that you’ll never really understand how Forex really works until you have traded in the market. So, if you want to learn how to trade Forex, you may want to sign up for a dummy account that numerous Forex trading websites offer.

To get started in trading Forex, all you need is a computer with a high speed internet connection, a funded Forex account, and a trading system. These three simple things are enough to get you started in Forex trading.

Forex trading crowds have bought aggressively into US Dollar declines against the Euro, British Pound, Japanese Yen, Swiss Franc, and Canadian Dollar. Our contrarian algorithmic trading systems have accordingly grown aggressively short the downtrodden US currency, and current downward USD momentum shows little hope of slowing. Last week we reported that other Forex positioning measures showed US Dollar sentiment at bearish extremes—hinting at imminent reversal. Yet we were clearly premature in our call, as market sentiment can and obviously does remain extreme for extended periods of time. Given current retail crowd positioning, we see little scope for a substantive Dollar reversal through upcoming trade.

Shen Chong who has no business in the country was arrested last week Wednesday by Fiscal police as he was trying to leave the country through Chileka International Airport for Hong Kong with US$39,151 (about K5.4million) loaded in seven Benson and Hedges cigarette packets. Economist Association of Malawi President (Ecama) Thomas Munthali said the move by government is good as most culprits are financing black market business which is not benefiting the country. “This Chinese is not even a business person in the country which means our forex is being used elsewhere which is unfortunate. We should lack forex due to other reasons and not that because some people are hording it and externalising it illegally. “While we appreciate government’s effort, we also feel that this exercise could have started way back but still this could be a lesson to others who are in practice,” said Munthali. Mulli Group Company Managing Director Leston Mulli said a lot of traders are taking advantage of the trade loop holes in the country. “The traders are misusing the trade agreements and taking advantage of the loop holes that are there. It is good that the President Bingu wa Mutharika has warned these business people and the police have immediately acted by arresting the Chinese national,” said Mulli. Mulli further said the act of hoarding forex is a disadvantage to the business community as it might lead to the devaluation of the Kwacha.

“The President vowed that he will not devalue the Kwacha, but this trend might result in the Kwacha being devalued and our businesses will suffer and not only us but the consumer as well will suffer,” he said. He then cautioned the police to be on the look out and arrest more of the culprits if the shortage of forex through illegal acts has to be dealt with. The kwacha is said to be overvalued against scarce foreign exchange a situation that has pushed importers of goods and services into a fix.
Official exchange rate for the Kwacha against the US dollar is firm K140 and according to Malawi Savings Bank Financial and Economic report for May, the country’s import cover was at 1.78 months up from 1.4 months in March. President Bingu wa Mutharika said during the official opening of this year’s international trade fair he would not hesitate to deport any trader siphoning forex out of the country. “Last year we produced and exported a lot of tobacco but where is the money? I repeat, I’m angry with you and you are enemies of the state,” said Mutharika as quoted in our sister paper Malawi News. Forex vendors have taken advantage of the foreign currency shortage to sell the US dollar at around K200 to the dollar over the official rate of K140. Big manufacturing companies such as Packaging Industries Malawi Limited have also cried foul saying they were having difficulties sourcing the now illusive forex to import.
