Dealing desk, no dealing desk forex trading platform

The types of the forex trading platform. The first step when you want to get in the forex market, you must find a broker providing services. So you must find your selection criteria. The are 2 types of brokerage firm: Dealing Desk and No Dealing Desk . Dealing Desk also known as the Market Maker, while the No Dealing Desk can be subdivided into Straight Through Processing ( STP ) and the Electronic Communication Network + Straight Through Processing ( STP + ECN ).

Dealing desk brokers 

Dealing desk forex broker make money through spreads (bid, ask price) and the opposite transactions for their customer. You may think that there is a conflict or a fraud, but really is not. The maket maker offer the reasonable bid and ask price, they can adjust them to protect themself when the market  widely fluctuates,can be understood that they are not affected with purchasing decisions of customers.
The prices were controlled by market maker, the customer can't see the real price of the interbank market.But you do not need to worry, the competition among the brokers are fierce so if the exchange rate offered by Dealing Desk incompletely equal in interbank market, but there is just only a very small difference deviation .
When broker gets the order they start trying to find an appropriate order from a customer or through other liquidity providers , is a large organization is willing to buy or sell a financial asset .However, in the absence of appropriate transactions to match , they will have to get the opposite of your transactions and from this point of interest between you and the brokerage company will also conflicting . Please note that brokers have different risk management policies vary, so please check your broker about this .

No Dealing Desk brokers

As the name suggested , No Dealing Desk forex brokers move the customer's oders straight through the system to the liquidity provider (Investment banks, hedge funds, mutual funds, other brokers, other clients).
The brokers build bridge linking together and making money through spreads, using STP or STP+ECN system they can get the best price for their customer.
The spreads they offer are ordinarily lower than dealing desk brokers but the fluctuations are depended on the situations of the market at the specific time.

Double BB MACD divergence trading

This stratey use 2 bb macd indicator, one for messure the power of current trend , one for making entry point decision. it generate both normal divergence and hidden divergence, but before making the decision you must specify the market situation that is trending or sideway that is the most important element in trading. Both of 2 indicator can generate the signals, you can use other oscillator indicator with the same idea of divergence trading. For example below I use 2 indicator on heiken ashi chart:

You can find many situation like this when market is running, waiting for the close of the candle and then get in. The normal divergence indicate the reversal at the big support and resistance, hidden divergence indicate the continuing of the trend, but it must appear on the way of that trend you are identifying.You can get 2 indicators in my indicator collections:

THE POWER OF DOING NOTHING IN FOREX

I will show you why doing nothing is surprisingly powerful in trading.

This simple exercise had a profound impact on how I will try to manage my trades in future. Once I open a trade and I�ve got my stop to break even its time to do nothing, just walk away.

Obviously the vast majority of my trades would have been stopped out at break even however the small percentage that survived were taken by the long term trend and became little profit pulling machines! To give you an idea of the power of doing nothing lets take just one trade from the EURUSD. I entered this short sell trade back in January 2010, it was a simple trend collapse breakout trade risking 35 pips (2% of my account) and I took profit at around 95 pips. Which is not bad right? I risked 1 to get almost 3. (see details of the move at end of this post)

Now lets take a look what happened if I did nothing. The Daily trend took this trade and it never came back to hit my break even stop. In June 2010 it hit a maximum profit of 2410 pips and if it wasn�t closed it would be sitting right now at 1250 pips. Realistically I believe any long term sell positions on the EURUSD would have been closed the moment the head and shoulders pattern played out on the daily chart at the end of June. This would have closed the trade with a profit of about 1800 pips.

Now here is the shocking part!

Remember that the initial risk on this trade was 35 pips, which was equivalent to 2% of the trading account.Closing the trade at 1800 pips would have resulted in a gain of 102.8% on the account! Remember, this is just one trade!
Obviously this doesn�t account for some losses also taken during that period. But to give you an idea of the power of doing nothing lets take the worst possible scenario. Lets say I�m the unluckiest trader alive and after that trade I lost every single trade I took on the EURUSD to date. My account would still be sitting at a gain of 56.8%! Thankfully I�m not the unluckiest trader alive and that trade was just one of many positions that that would have survived the trend fluctuations without being taken out at break even.

Keep in mind this is only on one pair!

Ok, so back to reality� It would be great to trade this way and I am confident that if I just took trades, moved to break even and then did nothing I would be a more profitable trader. Unfortunately I am human and having trades close at a loss or break even for weeks on end would be extremely difficult to cope with. A logical solution would be to split your positions into two. One half would be treated as normal and closed at your usual target resulting in a nice small gain on your account. The second half would be set at break even and left to hopefully catch a ride on the long term trend. Using this method in my example above that one trade would have still netted over 51%!

Hopefully this has given you the push to do some testing of your own but in the end it just boils down to an old, but very wise quote�

�Cut your losses and let your profits run�

(see details of this move posted in Apr 2010 by a former MIGBANK Researcher here Euro Crisis)

Reserve in 1973. Following the ending of the 1944 Bretton Woods agreement, which had
established a system of fixed exchange rates, the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank began the
calculation of the U.S. Dollar Index to provide an external bilateral trade-weighted average of
the U.S. dollar as it freely floated against global currencies.

The formula is:

DEMA smoothed moving average indicator.

DEMA indicator developed by Patrick Mulloy that first appeared in the February, 1994 Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities. It's based on both a single exponential moving average (EMA) and a double EMA. The fomula of it is:

The idea of this method like MACD histogram, smooth the moving average 2 times to get a new indicator lesser lag than either of the original two.

You can see it on this chart:

As you can see on this chart (DEMA set up 21 and 13) , this indicator are faster and get less fail signals than the other type of moving average. You can compare it with other moving average by yourself.
You can find the indicator by searching my indicator collections.

COT report, open interest. Solution for the volume in forex market

There are 3 important elements in trading, they are: price, volume, and time. In other market like listed stocks exchange, we can get the volume transaction in a day through the information systems of broker and floor exchange, in the OTC market like forex market, we can not statistic the volume exactly, the volume that broker provided, it just for reference, in MT4 platform the volume is just the tick volume, and it will be different with the other brokers. One of the alternative solutions for this problem we can use the COT report to get the informations that the investors is going to do in furture and option market.

We can get the COT report at Commondity trading commission website: http://www.cftc.gov/MarketReports/CommitmentsofTraders/AbouttheCOTReports/index.htm
