Forex Overview:

The Foreign Exchange market (Forex) has become the world’s largest and most liquid financial market with over 2 trillion dollars traded daily. The Forex market does not have a physical location or central exchange. It is 100% electronic.   

The primary market for currencies is the 24-hour Inter-bank market. The Inter-bank market consists of the major world banking centers following each other around the clock starting with New Zealand followed by Tokyo, then London, and finishing up in New York. Then the process starts over again in New Zealand. This creates one cohesive, truly international market.

Forex is trading money for money around the world and participating in the value of the currency fluctuation. This is a world market and offers investors an opportunity to diversify their portfolio outside of traditional stocks and bonds. 

Forex is still relatively new for many investors. Only recently did the individual receive access to this market. Previously, the Forex was only available to world banks, institutions, large corporations, hedge funds and major currency dealers.

Many individuals that are building a portfolio of investments consisting of stocks, bonds and mutual funds are beginning to see the benefit of adding foreign currency and a Forex managed account to their portfolio. Some of the reasons include the additional safety, protection and diversification from the Stock Market. One of the big reasons investors have added foreign currencies to their portfolio is because the Forex market is non-correlated with the Stock Market. This means it gives you an opportunity to profit regardless of the direction of the Stock Market. This is true diversification.

Other reasons investors are adding Forex to the mix of their investments is because of the favorable tax treatment, no corporate “insiders” who can manipulate prices, no surprise earning announcements and no corporate scandals that can blindside them. Also, specific threats and attacks on the United States and Global centres of financial importance are offset in the global Foreign Exchange market.

The huge number and diversity of investors and traders involved in Forex make it difficult for anyone, including governments, to attempt to control its direction. As a result of the vast size, unmatched liquidity and around the clock global activity make foreign exchange the most efficient and fairest market in the world…

Trading Objectives:

The objective and of the Private Managed Forex Account is to generate significant capital growth while implementing strict risk management procedures. Capital preservation is of utmost importance. This trading strategy is aimed at long term capital appreciation, and should be judged on a performance basis of at least 12 months.  

All trades take into consideration prevailing technical and fundamental market information.  When the specific criteria that the trading team has identified have been met, then a trading opportunity is presented resulting in the opening of a position. The trade is then executed with a stop loss and capital preservation procedures in place. Profit distribution levels are identified to lock in profit. Fluctuating leverage is used on a trade- by- trade basis. Most trades are held for less than 24-hours.

Trading Psychology:

This trading strategy is not an automated system but is primarily based on a technical and mathematical evaluation of the market. It requires an experienced trader’s skill in interpreting the trading opportunities but the beauty of it is that it disciplines the trader by providing pre-determined parameters with which he can efficiently execute his individual trades for the Forex managed account. The biggest reason why traders lose money is due to lack of discipline and conviction. This system provides the discipline and breeds confidence therefore aiding conviction and maximising returns.

Market Evaluation:

Appraisal of current psychology of the market, Bullish, Bearish, Market tensions, investor concerns each scenario creates a different trading opportunity. Analysis of ‘market mood’ can be a useful tool for the experienced trader in identifying trading opportunities who has experienced such market conditions in the past. It is also a factor commonly ignored by the majority of the marketplace and is hence very possibly a major factor contributing to trading losses.

Trade Execution:

Once the trade parameters have been fulfilled and the opportunity for a potentially successful trade has been identified a trade is executed.

With split second accuracy the trading team enters a position, they execute one large block trade on the Forex managed account, and instantaneously smaller units are divided among all of the managed accounts. Due to the immense volume and liquidity present in the Forex market, this approach allows all clients to receive the exact same fill price. Once pre-determined levels are reached the trade is then closed and the positions are liquidated in exactly the same fashion. The speed and accuracy of these executions is also a major factor towards ensuring success.

Leverage Categories & Minimum Investment Amounts:

There are 3 different leverage categories from which you can choose, ranging from conservative to aggressive.

Each category can be funded by you with as much capital as you wish as long as it is more than the minimum required, thus giving you the ability to choose a leverage level which is most suitable for your own investment needs on your own Forex managed account.

It is possible to move from one category to another category at any time within approximately 48 hours at no cost.

RISK DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

This brief statement does not disclose all of the risks and other significant aspects of trading in futures and options, in light of the risks, you should undertake such transactions only if you understand the nature of the contracts (and contractual relationships) into which you are entering and the extent of your exposure to risk.
Trading in futures, options and foreign exchange is not suitable for many members of the public.
You should carefully consider whether trading is appropriate for you in light of your experience, objectives, financial resources and other relevant circumstances.

FUTURES

1. Effect of 'Leverage' or 'Gearing

Transactions in futures carry a high degree of risk.
The amount of initial margin is small relative to the value of the futures contract so that transactions are "leveraged' or "geared". A relatively small market movement will have a proportionately larger impact on the funds you have deposited or will have to deposit: this may work against you as well as for you. You may sustain a total loss of initial margin funds and any additional funds deposited with the firm to maintain your position. If the market moves against your position or margin levels are increased, you may be called upon to pay substantial additional funds on short notice to maintain your position.
If you fail to comply with a request for additional funds within the time prescribed, your position may be liquidated at a loss and you will be liable for any resulting deficit.

2. Risk-reducing orders or strategies

The placing of certain orders (eg 'stop-loss" orders, where permitted under local law, or "stop-limit' orders) which are intended to limit losses to certain amounts may not be effective because market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders.
Strategies using combinations of positions, such as "spread" and 'straddle" positions may be as risky as taking simple 'long" or "short" positions.

OPTIONS

3. Variable degree of risk

Transactions in options carry a high degree of risk. Purchasers and sellers of options should familiarise themselves with the type of option (ie put or call) which they contemplate trading and the associated risks.
You should calculate the extent to which the value of the options must increase for your position to become profitable, taking into account the premium and all transaction costs.
The purchaser of options may offset or exercise the options or allow the options to expire. The exercise of an option results either in a cash settlement or in the purchaser acquiring or delivering the underlying interest.
If the option is on a future, the purchaser will acquire a futures position with associated liabilities for margin (see the section on Futures above). if the purchased options expire worthless, you will suffer a total loss of your investment which will consist of the option premium plus transaction Costs.
If you are contemplating purchasing deep-out-of-the money options, you should be aware that the chance of such options becoming profitable ordinarily is remote. Selling ("writing" or 'granting') an option generally entails considerably greater risk than purchasing options.
Although the premium received by the seller is fixed, the seller may sustain a loss well in excess of that amount.
The seller will be liable for additional margin to maintain the position if the market moves unfavourably. The seller will also be exposed to the risk of the purchaser exercising the option and the seller will be obliged to either settle the option in cash or to acquire or deliver the underlying interest.
If the option is on a future, the seller will acquire a position in a future with associated liabilities for margin (see the section on Futures above). if the option is "covered" by the seller holding a corresponding position in the underlying interest or a future or another option, the risk may be reduced. If the option is not covered, the risk of loss can be unlimited. Certain exchanges in some jurisdictions permit deferred payment of the option premium, exposing the purchaser to liability for margin payments not exceeding the amount of the premium. The purchaser is still subject to the risk of losing the premium and transaction costs. When the option is exercised or expires, the purchaser is responsible for any unpaid premium outstanding at that time.

ADDITIONAL RISKS COMMON TO FUTURES, OPTIONS AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE

4. Terms and conditions of contracts

You should ask the firm with which you deal about the terms and conditions of the specific futures or options which you are trading and associated obligations (eg the circumstances under which you may become obligated. to make or take delivery of the underlying interest of a futures contract and, in respect of options, expiration dates and restrictions on the time for exercise).
Under certain circumstances the specifications of outstanding contracts (including the exercise price of an option) may be modified by the exchange or clearing house to reflect changes in the underlying interest.

5. Suspension or restriction of trading and pricing relationships

Market conditions (eg. illiquidity) and/or the operation of the rules of certain markets (eq. the suspension of trading in any contract or contract month because of price limits or "circuit breakers') may increase the risk of loss by making it difficult or impossible to effect transactions or liquidate offset positions.
If you have sold options, this may increase the risk of loss.
Further, normal pricing relationships between the underlying interest and the future, and the underlying interest and the option may not exist. This can occur when, for example, the futures contract underlying the option is subject to price limits while the option is not. The absence of an
underlying reference price may make it difficult to judge 'fair" value.

6. Deposited cash and property

You should familiarise yourself with the protections accorded money or other property you deposit for domestic and foreign transactions, particularly in the event of a firm's insolvency or bankruptcy.
The extent to which you may recover your money or property may be governed by specific legislation or local rules.
In some jurisdictions, property which had been specifically identifiable as your own will be pro-rated in the same manner as cash for purposes of distribution in the event of a shortfall.

7. Commission and other charges

Before you begin to trade, you should obtain a clear explanation of all commissions , fees and other charges for which you will be liable. These charges will affect your net profit or increase your loss.

8. Transactions in other jurisdictions

Transactions on markets in other jurisdictions, including markets formally linked to a domestic market, may expose you to additional risk.
Such markets may be subject to regulation which may offer different or diminished investor protection. Before you trade you should enquire about any rules relevant to your particular transactions.
Your local regulatory authority will be unable to compel the enforcement of the rules of regulatory authorities or markets in other jurisdictions where your transactions have been effected. You should ask the firm with which you deal for details about the types of redress available in both your home jurisdiction and other relevant jurisdictions before you start to trade.

9. Currency risks

The profit or loss in transactions in foreign currency-denominated contracts (whether they are traded in your own or another jurisdiction) will be affected by fluctuations in currency rates where there is a need to convert from the currency denomination of the contract to another currency.

10. Trading facilities

Most open-outcry and electronic trading facilities are supported by computer-based component systems for the order-routing , execution, matching, registration or clearing of trades. As with all facilities and systems, they are vulnerable to temporary disruption or failure.
Your ability to recover certain losses may be subject to limits on liability imposed by the system provider, the market, the clearing house and/or member firms. Such limits may vary – you should ask the firm with which you deal for details in this respect.

11. Electronic trading

Trading on an electronic trading system may differ not only from trading in an open-outcry market but also from trading on other electronic trading systems. if you undertake transactions on an electronic trading system, you will be exposed to risks associated with the system including the failure of hardware and software.
The result of any system failure may be that your order is either not executed according to your instructions or is not executed at all.

12. Off-exchange transactions

In some jurisdictions, and only then in restricted circumstances, firms are permitted to effect off-exchange transactions.
The firm with which you deal may be acting as your counterparty to the transaction. It may be difficult or impossible to liquidate an existing position, to assess the value, to determine a fair price or to assess the exposure to risk.
For these reasons, these transactions may involve increased risks. Off-exchange transactions may be less regulated or subject to a separate regulatory regime. Before you undertake such transactions, you should familiarise yourself with applicable rules and attendant risks.
