SigmaForex  sums up the most important differences between foreign exchange market

and futures marketare in 

Foreign exchange market against futures market

Liquidity

Forex market: close to two trillion dollars of daily volume.
Futures market: around 400 billion dollars on a daily basis.

Transaction costs

Forex market: Commission for free and narrow margins.
Futures market: the high fees committees.

Margin

Forex market: the fixed exchange rate, on the sidelines of every position.
Futures market: different levels of attitudes overnight on the sidelines of today’s time positions.

Trade execution

Forex market: immediate implementation.
Futures market: consistent implementation.

All this makes the foreign exchange market very attractive to investors and traders. But I need to make something clear, despite the benefits of commercial foreign exchange market is notorious; it is still difficult to achieve commercial success foreign exchange market. It requires a lot of education, discipline, commitment and patience, like any other market.

Influence trading.

Commercial foreign exchange market and provide greater purchasing power more than many other markets. Some brokers offer foreign influence up to 500:1, allowing the merchants in the margin only 0.25% of total investment. For example, a trader with 100:1 mean to have a position of 100000 U.S. $, only U.S. $ 1000 on the sidelines there is a need to be able to open this position.

Lower transaction costs.

 
SigmaForex offers the Free Trade Commission. The only one who suffered traders in terms of cost in any transaction is the spread (the difference between purchase price and the sale of each currency pair). This proliferation can be a low 1 PIP (the minimum increase in any currency pair) in some couples.

Low minimum investment.

Foreign exchange market requires less capital to start trading more than any other markets.This is the great advantage since forex dealers capable of keeping the investment risk to a minimum.

Specialized trade.

Liquidity of the market allows us to focus on a few instruments (or currency pairs) as the core of investments (85% of all business transactions carried out on seven major currencies). Allowing us to monitor, and at the end of each instrument to know them better.

Business from anywhere.

If you do a lot of travel, you can trade from anywhere in the world only after connecting to the Internet.

The Alligator indicator contains of three lines, which are Moving Averages with different parameters.The blue line: (chap) is a line of balance to the significant time period, which is used for building of the chart (13 period smoothed moving averages, shifted on 8 bars to the future.)The Red line: (teeth) is the line of balance for the significant time period, which is one step less (8 period smoothed moving average, shifted on 5 bars to the future).

The Green line (lips) is the line of balance for the significant time period, which is one more step less (5 period smoothed moving average, shifted on 3 bars to the future).Interpretation: When the Jaw, the Teeth and the Lips are closed or intertwined, it means the Alligator is going to sleep or is asleep already. As it sleeps, it gets hungrier and hungrier the longer it will sleep, the hungrier it will wake up. The first thing it does after it wakes up is to open its mouth and yawn.

Then the smell of food comes to its nostrils: flesh of a bull or flesh of a bear, and the Alligator starts to hunt it. Having eaten enough to feel quite full, the Alligator starts to lose the interest to the food/price (Balance Lines join together) this is the time to fix the profit.

You should close all positions and wait until Alligator awakes again.The goals of this indicator are:

- to give integrated way for monitoring of the moving of the market

- to represent a simple indicator to trade in the current trade only

- to create a protective way to save the money during the moving of the market limitet with the price channel

Acceleration/Deceleration (AC) is introduced by Bill Williams; it measures acceleration and deceleration of the current driving force.When the AC value of the current bar is greater than the previous bar value, the histogram bar is colored in green (and vice versa). According to Mr. Williams this indicator will change direction before any changes in the driving force, which will change its direction before the price.The only thing that needs to be done to control the market and make decisions is to watch for changes in color. To save yourself serious reflections, you must remember: you can not buy with the help of Acceleration/Deceleration, when the current column is colored red, and you can not sell, when the current column is colored green.

It is based on the Alligator and shows the degree of convergence/divergence of the Balance Lines (Smoothed Moving Averages).

The Gator Oscillator is displayed as two histograms:

- The histogram above zero shows the distance between the blue and the red lines (between the Alligator’s jaw and teeth);

- The histogram below zero shows the distance between the red and the green lines (between the Alligator’s teeth and lips).

The Gator Oscillator clearly shows convergence and intertwining of the Balance Lines when the Alligator is asleep or awake thus helps identify a trend.
