Pyramid Forex Trading Strategy

Pyramiding Forex Strategy

Pyramiding in forex trading strategies aim to double the profit. the way it works is similar to the Anti-Martingale strategy, which add to the position when the previous position was profit with reason and hope that the market will continue to move in accordance with our predictions.

The advantage of using this pyramiding strategy is that in a period consisting of several transactions could generate more profit. Maybe in real life is called "Aji Mumpung". Because it is so favorable conditions, we do the transaction as much as his chance only comes one time.

The disadvantage is only when the market reverse direction or reversal, last opened position into a loss, thus reducing the total profit earned.

Differences between pyramiding strategy with anti-martingale strategy is simply a matter of capital used .At the capital pyramiding strategy used for each transaction equal .Sehingga magnitude of risk due to the opening of a new position at the risk of his previous position.

Example of use pyramiding strategies:

Currently the GBP / USD is worth 1.5500. I predict prices will rise, therefore I open a Buy position at the level of 1.5500 at 1 lot.
After 1 hour turned out to be market moving up to the level of 1.5525. Instead I closed position, I analyze the results .And I predict that there will be a long bullish trend.

Therefore, because current profit Seang and conditions are good, then I should not be menyi-nyikan this opportunity to open a new Buy position at the level of 1.5525 at 0.1 lot, then up again after I open a new buy position again at the 1.5550 level. Thus at this point I have 3 pieces Buy position.

After a while, now the price is at the level of 1.5600, meaning that all three of my long position profit .Then I mnutup third position because I predict prices will reverse direction.

From the above transaction profit I get is:

The first long position profit of 100 points or $ 100
The second long position profit by 75 points or $ 75
And the third position profit by 50 points or $ 50

So the total profit is $ 225.

Just imagine seeandainya I did pyramiding strategy, maybe I just profit of $ 100 only.

There are two key to success that must be considered in using these pyramiding strategy, namely:

1. Before doing pyramiding you must ensure that the next few moments will occur long trend
2. Immediately close the position when predicting prices will reverse direction.

Forex Martingale Strategy

 

Forex Martingale Strategy

Martingale is a management theory of probability that allows future value of something specific in common with the previous period by using the principle of multiplication.

In forex trading, Martingale strategy is a strategy to make a profit while closing total losses of previous transactions through the doubling of capital.

Therefore, when using the martingale strategy on future risk is always increased with increasing losses. This rule is the martingale strategy when you perform a transaction so (n) lot and the result is a loss, then the next transaction using a lot two times that number (2n) .So next anyway. So that when the last transaction profit, then the advantage was able to cover all the losses of the previous transactions.

Examples:

One day you are planning a five-time transactions EUR / USD, stoplloss and target profit of 50 points, as well as the initial capital = $ 50,000.
Using multiple lots martingale strategy.
after the transaction, but the result 4 consecutive defeats and only 1 win in the transaction to five.

Like this:

The first transaction: 1 lot transaction loss x 50 points = - $ 500
The second transaction: 2 lots loss transactions x 50 points = - $ 1,000
The third transaction: 4 lots transaction loss x 50 points = - $ 2,000
The fourth transaction: 8 loss transaction lot x 50 points = - $ 4,000
Fifth transaction: 16 lots of transactions profit x 50 points = + $ 8,000

So that at the end of the transaction the result is:

Total Loss = - $ 7.500
Total Profit = + $ 8,000
Net Profit / Loss = $ 500
Final capital = $ 50.500

Excess use martingale strategy:
Only needs one win in so (n) transactions, to cover all losses from the previous transaction and simultaneously reap the benefits.

Weakness use martingale strategy:
When you are no longer sufficient capital to perform subsequent transaction, your loss is huge.

There is also a mention of this martingale strategy as the system of 99: 1. This means that if we use this strategy then 99% market conditions could make us a profit. but if one day we meet conditions 1%, drop our money.

Therefore, when you want to use martingale strategy, then you have to calculate your capital until resistance keberapa.Dengan transaction so we can better exploit the victory before the final transaction.

Averaging Strategy In Forex

 

 

Averaging Strategy In Forex

To minimize losses when the position we are in the opposite direction to the trend, as well as to maximize profits while our position in line with the trend, we could use Averaging Strategy.

Averaging based on the meaning he is averaging. In the case of open positions, averaging strategy is useful for averaging the position opening price. Where at a certain level, regardless of the condition of its market value is the position that we open IMPAS.

In trading, meaning Averaging is opened again a new position in accordance with long positions although this time the price moves against, in the belief that the market will soon move in accordance with our predictions.

Judging from goal, averaging strategy used for:

1. Enlarge profits

For example:

I predict the market will go up, so I open a buy position.
Moments later it turned the market is going up, but I see the market will rise even higher. So I open a buy position again.
Because I still think the market is very strong to go up again, I open a buy position again.

When the market rises, now I have three long positions that are profit It so if I close the third position, I profit more when compared to not perform averaging.

2. Accelerate Breakeven at a loss.

For example:

I predict the market will go up, then I open a buy position.
Moments later turned out to market declines, meaning that contrary to predictions However as I'm sure the market will soon rise, then my second membukaposisi ie buy again.

So now my position open price is the average of the two prices of open positions were open.

When the market turning upside, and hitting the average opening price of second position, the position I had nothing to lose anymore, but even.
If the market continues to rise then of course my position greater profit.

Tips in performing averaging:

- For a market that moves according to predictions, averaging before the market did see the point of saturation.

- To market moves against predictions, do averaging when the market enters the saturated zone.

Averaging forex strategy is very helpful to minimize losses and maximize profits. In use we have to keep an eye on the condition of market saturation.

Strategy Profit By Switching

There are times when the market moves do not fit our predictions, so we have open positions become rugi.Namun in such conditions we can still turn out to be profitable to strive for is to do the switching.

Switching based on the meaning of the word is replacing. In forex trading, the switching strategy is to change the direction by closing losing positions and opened a new position in the opposite direction of the positions that have been closed in the hope of gain second position will be greater than the loss in the first position was closed.

For example:

Currently the price of GBP / USD is 1.5500. I predict BGP / USD will rise towards 1.5600. Therefore I opened a buy position.
Hose how many hours it turns GBP / USD moves against my predictions, GBP / USD Down and is currently at the level of 1.5450 buy position .Artinya I lose 50 points.

After re-analyzed, it turns GBP / USD will fall towards the 1.5350 level.

So that today I do not lose, I decided to close my long positions with a loss of 50 points and opening new short positions.

After a few hours it is true that the market moves according to the results of analysis both are down, and now stands at the level of 1.5375

Finally after feeling the profit obtained enough, then I closed my short positions with a profit of 75 points.

Of the accumulated 2 above transaction by performing switching, today I profit by 25 points ie 75 points deducted from profit loss of 50 points.

 

Tips to perform the switching strategy:

- Perform switching to open a second position which is opposite to the first position only if the prediction gain second position exceeds the first loss position will be closed.
- Should do switching when big trend will be formed, namely when the breakout band.

This switching forex strategy requires a convincing analysis, because if it is not convinced by the second prediction, you should only do the first cut loss position without having passed with switching. If we are still forced to be tossed around by the market and even suffer a loss of 2 fold.

Feeling Stud Forex Market Predictions? Beware!

When a trader felt he had enough experience in the world of forex trading, it will be susceptible to "a disease arrogant". He began to believe that he really could predict exactly where price will move. He felt jumawa, feel on top of the world. "Disease" is indeed very vulnerable to attack anyone who has been in the world of forex trading for many years. Moreover, it turns out the majority of the analyzes he made ​​turned out to be valid, so there are some institutions such as forex broker and / or service providers interested in trading analysis utilizing the services of her analysis. Never mind that "veteran forex" and success, the starters and despondent are often attacked by "disease" is; even more severe. Ironic indeed.

Disease "feel great" like this often lead a trader to think that he has really knows every inch of the market movement. Assumptions like this - unfortunately - is dangerous because it can create a forex trader feels like "Gods Trading". People with "Syndrome Gods Trading" has a kind of confidence that he could actually predict where the price moves without ever misses. In his mind he DEFINITELY WILL PROFIT. In these circumstances, it has really felt I could nullify the possibility that he could have made a mistake.

But unfortunately in reality not a trader can eliminate the element of uncertainty in the forex market. Uncertainty has become the character of any form of business; that's called risk. No one can give a 100% accurate prediction about what will happen in the next market. Once again: NO.

100% Accurate prediction? Ah, do not dream!

Attempting to predict market movements is like trying to predict the future. I am sure you will agree with me: no one can know exactly what will happen in the future, even in the next five minutes.

Still fresh in my memory, when I spoke at a forum about the inability of humans to predict exactly what will happen next. A few minutes later "minor accident" occurred: a glass of water drip on my laptop. Obviously, I previously did not know it would happen. Such is the risk.

As a trader, if you insist on having "supernatural talents" who can predict the direction of the next market and stubbornly ruled out any possibility that there is, then be prepared to face adversity.

Of course we are not talking about the ability of a seasoned trader in recognizing market behavior. In technical analysis we believe that "history repeats itself". History always repeats itself, in terms of market behavior has proved historically recurring. That is why we are able to learn and take advantage of - for example - candlestick patterns, price action and behavior of technical indicators. From studies and observations as we then could predict where the price will likely move.

Possibility Not Certainty

Well, this is the key word: "possibilities". Estimating the potential price movement different to feel jumawa can predict where the price will move. Model approach "possibility" is then that makes a forex trader to take steps carefully and anticipation by putting a stop loss. He will also arrange capital with position sizing. Even if he had a loss, he would accept it gracefully and then will evaluate trading strategies that he uses. It is never going to be done by a trader who suffer "syndrome Gods Trading".

People with "Syndrome Gods Trading" very likely not going to act in anticipation of risk. For what, if he feels will always be true? Even if it turns out he is losing, he would stubbornly blame the market (this part is always the most ridiculous) and did not want to do an evaluation of trading strategies that he has.

Focus on Process

As a trader, you should not attempt to predict, but "read". What to read? Sure is behavior and current market situation, to then take the steps necessary strategic and anticipatory.

Like driving a car, when you want to overtake the car in front, you should not assume "certainly no vehicles from the opposite direction". Instead, you should do is to observe whether there is a vehicle in the opposite direction which is running? If not, please runway to precede your car. If it turns out there is, observe again: whether the vehicle was speeding? If yes, you should postpone the intention to overtake. Ridiculous and silly if you insist "not going to happen" and reckless overtaking, while many factors that it is possible to "happen".

In trading, thinking pattern as above is a process of minimizing the risk. Whether there was a valid trading signal? Is the position to be taken are in accordance with the trend? Do lots that will be traded in accordance with the capital strength? Is the stop loss limits is not too big? Is the profit targets are realistic? Etc.

Processes such as these, most likely ignored by the Gods Trading Syndrome. "Ah, do not need, will also certainly be profitable," so perhaps he had in mind. If you've been thinking like that - sorry to say - your forex trading career will not seem long.

Maybe this time out there was a person with "Syndrome Gods Trading" laughing at this paper and threw all sorts of apology and justification. It is okay. I just remind task. Hopefully accepted.

 

Fit body: Capital Successful Forex Trader

Did you know that almost all professional singer away from the cold water (ice) to keep their voices, especially before staging?

Why Need To Maintain Stamina?

Yes, it is true that forex trading activities do not involve high physical activity such as playing football or weightlifting. Even a forex trader can trade comfortably on top of a soft mattress.

In fact trading requires concentration, focus and alertness is high. True that the brain plays a role, but did you know that physical fitness can affect the performance of the brain? That is, without a fit body, it will be difficult for you to concentrate, focus and have a high level of vigilance.

Professor Art Kramer, director of the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology of the University of Illinois, as quoted by Fitnessformen.co.id revealed that moderate exercise such as walking or cycling regularly will improve your memory and your ability to solve problems. Apparently, physical exercise as it can increase the size of certain parts of our brain. That is just a small sample and benefits alone. Please're looking for on Google, there are numerous references to the close relationship between physical fitness with a person's brain ability.

Fatigue, lethargy and fatigue can limit your ability to pay attention to the details. You will tend to make mistakes such as not obey trading plan, miscalculated the amount of the position (lot) when trading, or even one click on your trading platform! Suppose you want to "buy" but precisely clicking the "sell". Unfortunately, it turns out the price continues to move up. Oh, no!

Body that does not fit can also lead to laziness. You become lazy to sit in front of your computer or laptop for analysis and seek opportunities from price movements. Finally, many missed opportunities, but should be fairly easy for you can use.

It sucks, does not it?

So, How To Maintain Fitness?

Being fit does not mean having to have a huge body and sekekar Ade Rai, or Vin Diesel and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is well-known from the movie "Fast and Furious". No.

Being fit it simple, keep it as simple as just health.

Eat nutritious foods in moderation and do light exercise for improving blood circulation and stamina so you do not prone to fatigue. Even a simple exercise you can do your home will rise up from the chair and walked out of the house. Need not be too heavy. Walking or running a small, or cycling for 30 minutes per day was enough actually. If you are able and willing, be the one taking the time to the gym once or twice a week.

Swimming is also good for maintaining fitness. When swimming, all the muscles of your body moves. Need not be too long, just 30 minutes once exercise. But to be consistent, do not get up in the pool you only use 10 minutes for swimming and 20 minutes for "eye wash" ....

Body & Soul

Maintain mental health is also important. Sleep with enough, it's a must. Avoid consumption of alcohol, especially drugs (this also includes cannabis, Bro! Marijuana just makes the brain slow).

Stop also fill your mind with things that are not important. Come on, stop watch or read gossip about the artist A divorced by artist and as an artist and an affair with artist C then B and C were married while artist A later courtship with artist D ....

If you have a personal problem, finish as fast as possible before the start of forex trading activity. Mix with people who can give a positive value for you.

Reading a book or playing music in his spare time can also recharge your mind. Oh yes, forex traders should also have time to spare. Do not let your whole day hanging out in front of the monitor pricing.

You can also follow the breathing exercises such as yoga, Chi Kung, or the like. Nice to practice concentration. And of course: worship is the most effective way to fill the soul. Profession as a forex trader is very stressful, just to Him where we pitted.

Relax

It's easy to lose control emotionally when you are trading forex . Remember, trading is like running a marathon, long distance. Marathon runners have never run fast as a sprinter. Which dinomorsatukan is not speed, but high stamina to get to the finish. In the marathon, the speed becomes diminished.

So, relax. There is still plenty of time left.

Congratulations exercise. Mens there in corpore sano.

Again, Secrets of Successful Trading Forex

You may have heard that successful forex traders it is an experienced trader, has a high level of discipline and tenacious. Forex broker anywhere in this world surely know them. But what really makes them successful? What do they have to be successful?

What I mean by "success" here is the ability to make a profit with consistent; the main thing. But if it refers to the opinion of a layman, success usually is measured by the success rate and improving the quality of one's life. That is why we will first agree on the definition of "successful forex traders".

I found the definition of "successful forex traders" are "those who do forex trading correctly and is able to achieve the financial targets through profits earned by consistently through forex trading".

There Really Successful Forex Trader?

We have equally advised that out there there are a lot of questions about whether a person can generate consistent profits through forex trading ? I myself once had doubts and from doubts that led me to look for evidence. I did a search even since I first became acquainted with this business in the year 2005.

The verification process takes place during the year. In the end, by the year 2006, my quest led to an answer: yes, people can profit consistently in forex trading. I'm probably the least among those who answered "yes".

Out there - I'm sure - so many people are skeptical of this business. Naturally, because they have not proved it is indeed possible. Is a sensible choice to not believe what can not be substantiated. They were able to prove and answer "yes" is included minorities.

Why they can answer "yes"?

Because they do not expect too grandiose. Remember the initial definition of "success" in forex trading: produce consistent profits. We are not talking profit as a percentage of "giants", such as 100% per month. We're talking CONSISTENCY.

Those who fail to prove it departed from the definition of "success" is different: that generate profit "giant". If that definition is clearly difficult. Trading forex is one form of business, not a "get rich quick scheme". One great if consider forex trading is one way to get rich quickly.

The assumption of "get rich quick" then that is what makes most people trade forex without well-planned. Even if planned, the plan usually will not run properly. Yes, we're talking about trading plan.

So many people are "trading" without a trading plan. Many people who had made a trading plan, but do not run it well. If it were so, boro-boro consistent profit.

So, What secret?

Sorry. Actually NO SECRET altogether. Actually, everyone is aware that in order to become a successful forex trader who first have to do is learn trading correctly, then execute trades properly anyway.

Already dozens of articles published on this website discusses about the importance of acquiring knowledge in the right way and execute a trading plan well too. So, it can not be called secret anymore, is not it?

Okay, there is one thing that distinguishes a successful forex traders with traders who are not successful. What is that?

NEVER GIVE UP!

The problem is, so many traders who start trading with passion, past two-three years, then stopped so when faced with a barrage losses. The mistake is that they do not want to do the evaluation: what caused the big loss?

Unyielding attitude must necessarily be applied in all types of businesses, if you want to succeed in the business. Especially in high-risk business called "forex".

So, take heart. Do not give up easily. That is the biggest secret of success.

 

Forex Trading Strategy: "Stop-Loss" So "Stop-Profit"

The forex market is a very dynamic environment with a variety of aspects that need to be considered by a trader in implementing its strategy forex-. Many important things to be aware sometimes make a trader to forget things that are (considered) small, but it turned out to have a major impact. One of the things often considered "small" it is stop-loss, which is when it can change your world. In learning forex this time, we will learn to better understand the "little guy" who turns out this great.

Stop-loss - his full name is the stop-loss order - can be a very useful tool, if you know how to use it. Let peeled together.

Is the stop-loss?

Stop-loss is actually placed order to close the open transactions with the aim of limiting the risk of loss. For example, you open a forex transaction: Buy 1 lot of the AUD / USD at 0.81400 price. As a strategy for limiting the risks in forex trading you are placing a stop-loss at the price of 0.81000. This means that if the price then dropped to 0.81000, then your transaction will be closed at the price of 0.81000 with a loss of $ 400.

The positives and negatives

No one wants to lose, but in trading inevitably you have to learn to deal with these risks. It has been mentioned before that you can limit the risk of loss that you might suffer by placing stop-loss.

The positive side of placing stop-loss is you do not have to constantly look at charts of price movements. Simply place the stop-loss level and the risk you are already constrained by itself, without requiring you to stare in front of your monitor. Even - extreme - you should turn off your computer and go shopping, play pool, or watch your favorite movies. Your risk is already limited by stop-loss.

But every thing has both positive and negative sides, as well as stop-loss.

It could happen a scenario like this: stop-loss that you place only "dicolek" by price movements, and then reversed and precisely meet your target profit. For example, in the example above mentioned transaction (Buy 1 lot of the AUD / USD at the price of 0.81400; stop-loss at 0.81000 price): after hitting 0.81000 price (stop-loss) turns then direct prices rebound and even reached 0.81800. Quite oppressive, huh?

But try to think like this: You NEVER know what will happen next. In other words, you - in fact anyone - never know for sure the next market movement. In forex trading all the possibilities can occur: the price may rebound, but ALSO CAN GO DOWN MOVEMENT so that your losses will be greater and forex strategies that you have painstakingly collated no longer useful. All open opportunities.

The question then is: if you can face greater losses than just minus $ 400? Which is more painful: loss of $ 400 (according to your risk tolerance), or a loss much greater because you do not limit your risk?

The most important thing is that the stop-loss allows a trader to immediately make a decision without any emotional involvement. People tend to "fall in love" in the transaction; he did not want to throw away the transaction despite mounting losses. Trader as it is always hope and expect the market will reverse direction. In fact, in anticipation, the risks it faces growing.

Placing a stop-loss rules

In forex trading, you have to - even MANDATORY - learn to apply the forex strategy that is necessary to limit the risks. All successful traders agree with this.

The key to minimize the possibility of a stop-loss "licked" by price movements is the placement of stop-loss technique itself. You should follow the signal in the time-frame that is not too short to avoid price movements suddenly. Put your stop-loss a few pips above the key resistance (if you are a sell position) or below key support (if you are a buy position). Technically, there is a method that teaches put around 100-200 pips (to quote five decimal). There are many methods of determining the resistance and support key, you just learn it.

Even more important is placing a stop-loss in accordance with the risk tolerance that you have defined in the trading plan. For example, you have a capital of $ 10,000 and allocating risk sebsar 5% per transaction, then your stop-loss should be no more than $ 500.

Not just limiting losses

The origin of stop-loss is indeed intended to limit losses, as the name suggests. But in its development, stop-loss it can also be to let the advantage that you have acquired the potential to become even greater. How to?

The technique is called "trailing stop". In this case, the "stop-loss" no longer serve to limit losses, but "lock in" profits at some level. What kind of story?

Let us return to the example previously mentioned transaction. Assume you are doing forex trading and opening Buy AUD / USD at 0.81400 price. You have learned that you have to limit the risk, and as his forex- strategy you place a stop-loss at 0.81000.

It turned out that the price continues to rise; say up to 0.82000. At that level, you've gained floating profit (unrealized profit) amounted to $ 600 (conditions floating profit is already profit when your position, but the position has not been closed). In these conditions, instead of closing the transaction, you just move (termed amend) a stop-loss that had been located at 0.81000 to 0.81600. Thus, if later the price dropped from 0.82000 to 0.81600, your position will be closed in the range of 0.81600, with the result of a gain of $ 200.

Conclusion

In forex trading, s top-loss is the easiest forex strategy but a very significant impact in your attempt to limit the risk. It is true that there are other ways such as switching or averaging, but all of them have side effects such as psychological burden is much greater.

While it is easy unfortunately many traders who "failed" to use it, whether it be to limit the risk and lock in profits. You should treat such a stop-loss insurance premiums, where you never expect to use it, but when the risk occurs, you stay calm because you know that your own safety.

Losing is not good, but more is not better if mounting losses suffered because not restricted. Tuh pain in the wallet ....

So, use stop-loss.

 

Buying Stocks

You've now learned what a stock is and a little bit about the principles behind the stock market, but how do you actually go about buying stocks? Thankfully, you don't have to go down into the trading pit yelling and screaming your order. There are two main ways to purchase stock:


1. Using a Brokerage
The most common method to buy stocks is to use a brokerage. Brokerages come in two different flavors. Full-service brokerages offer you (supposedly) expert advice and can manage your account; they also charge a lot. Discount brokerages offer little in the way of personal attention but are much cheaper.

At one time, only the wealthy could afford a broker since only the expensive, full-service brokers were available. With the internet came the explosion of online discount brokers. Thanks to them nearly anybody can now afford to invest in the market.

2. DRIPs & DIPs
Dividend reinvestment plans (DRIPs) and direct investment plans (DIPs) are plans by which individual companies, for a minimal cost, allow shareholders to purchase stock directly from the company. Drips are a great way to invest small amounts of money at regular intervals.

How Stocks Trade and make the big money

 

 How Stocks Trading

Most stocks are traded on exchanges, which are places where buyers and sellers meet and decide on a price. Some exchanges are physical locations where transactions are carried out on a trading floor. You've probably seen pictures of a trading floor, in which traders are wildly throwing their arms up, waving, yelling, and signaling to each other. The other type of exchange is virtual, composed of a network of computers where trades are made electronically.

The purpose of a stock market is to facilitate the exchange of securities between buyers and sellers, reducing the risks of investing. Just imagine how difficult it would be to sell shares if you had to call around the neighborhood trying to find a buyer. Really, a stock market is nothing more than a super-sophisticated farmers' market linking buyers and sellers.

Before we go on, we should distinguish between the primary market and the secondary market. The primary market is where securities are created (by means of an IPO) while, in the secondary market, investors trade previously-issued securities without the involvement of the issuing-companies. The secondary market is what people are referring to when they talk about the stock market. It is important to understand that the trading of a company's stock does not directly involve that company.

The New York Stock Exchange
The most prestigious exchange in the world is the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The "Big Board" was founded over 200 years ago in 1792 with the signing of the Buttonwood Agreement by 24 New York City stockbrokers and merchants. Currently the NYSE, with stocks like General Electric, McDonald's, Citigroup, Coca-Cola, Gillette and Wal-mart, is the market of choice for the largest companies in America.

The trading floor of the NYSE

The NYSE is the first type of exchange (as we referred to above), where much of the trading is done face-to-face on a trading floor. This is also referred to as a listed exchange. Orders come in through brokerage firms that are members of the exchange and flow down to floor brokers who go to a specific spot on the floor where the stock trades. At this location, known as the trading post, there is a specific person known as the specialist whose job is to match buyers and sellers. Prices are determined using an auction method: the current price is the highest amount any buyer is willing to pay and the lowest price at which someone is willing to sell. Once a trade has been made, the details are sent back to the brokerage firm, who then notifies the investor who placed the order. Although there is human contact in this process, don't think that the NYSE is still in the stone age: computers play a huge role in the process.



The Nasdaq
The second type of exchange is the virtual sort called an over-the-counter (OTC) market, of which the Nasdaq is the most popular. These markets have no central location or floor brokers whatsoever. Trading is done through a computer and telecommunications network of dealers. It used to be that the largest companies were listed only on the NYSE while all other second tier stocks traded on the other exchanges. The tech boom of the late '90s changed all this; now the Nasdaq is home to several big technology companies such as Microsoft, Cisco, Intel, Dell and Oracle. This has resulted in the Nasdaq becoming a serious competitor to the NYSE.

The Nasdaq market site in Times Square

On the Nasdaq brokerages act as market makers for various stocks. A market maker provides continuous bid and ask prices within a prescribed percentage spread for shares for which they are designated to make a market. They may match up buyers and sellers directly but usually they will maintain an inventory of shares to meet demands of investors.

Other Exchanges
The third largest exchange in the U.S. is the American Stock Exchange (AMEX). The AMEX used to be an alternative to the NYSE, but that role has since been filled by the Nasdaq. In fact, the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), which is the parent of Nasdaq, bought the AMEX in 1998. Almost all trading now on the AMEX is in small-cap stocks and derivatives.

There are many stock exchanges located in just about every country around the world. American markets are undoubtedly the largest, but they still represent only a fraction of total investment around the globe. The two other main financial hubs are London, home of the London Stock Exchange, and Hong Kong, home of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The last place worth mentioning is the over-the-counter bulletin board (OTCBB). The Nasdaq is an over-the-counter market, but the term commonly refers to small public companies that don't meet the listing requirements of any of the regulated markets, including the Nasdaq. The OTCBB is home to penny stocks because there is little to no regulation. This makes investing in an OTCBB stock very risky.
