...TRADING TECHNIQUES Nani Desu Ka?* Using The Heikin Ashi Technique Enter and stay on the right side of the trend — or when in doubt, stay out — with this Japanese charting technique. ince the introduction of the candlestick method to the US some two decades ago, it caused a revolution in perceiving how the bullish and bearish forces perform in the Western markets. It has become a popular charting tool, as traders have used candlesticks to make chart formations easier to spot and name. But interpreting candlesticks can be challenging. To make things easier, the heikin-ashi technique modifies the traditional candlestick chart. Let's take a look at how it works. BALANCING ON ONE FOOT them as candlesticks. The modified values are computed using these definitions: • haClose = (O+H+L+C)/4 • haOpen = (haOpen (previous bar) + haClose (previous bar))/2 • haHigh = Maximum(H, haOpen, haClose) • haLow = Minimum(L, haOpen, haClose) The heikin-ashi method {heikin means "average" or "balance" in Japanese, while ashi means "foot" or "bar") is a visual technique that eliminates irregularities from a normal chart, offering a better picture of trends and consolidations. Just by looking at a candlestick chart created with this method, you get a good idea of the market's status and its strength. Take a look at the candlestick chart of Canon ADR in Figure 1A versus the heikin-ashi modified chart in Figure 1B. Which chart would you prefer to use? CALCULATION The "open," "high," "low...

...targeting and central bank independence - are being reviewed. Even the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank have revised their views and conceded that capital controls may be necessary at times. However, for the ideologically blinkered in India, capital account controls in any form are synonymous with "licence and permit raj". Given the size of India's outstanding stock of internal public debt and projected budget deficits, there are limitations to which the government/public sector can access funds domestically. This would suggest that India should welcome all forms of capital inflows to plug its funding gaps. However, if foreign capital flows into India are more than its current account deficit, the excess gets added to its forex (FX) reserves, which are warehoused in low interest rate bearing government securities of triple A developed countries. The governor of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) mentioned at a conference in Zurich on May 11, 2010 that "problems arise when the (capital) flows are largely in excess of the economy's absorptive capacity". This article examines available options and corresponding logic to increase or restrict capital inflows against the irony of India having to lend its FX reserves to governments of countries with much higher per capita income. First, a few numbers. As of December 31, 2009, India's FX reserves stood at $283.5 billion. On the same date, total external debt amounted to $251.4 billion, of which long-term debt with remaining...

Conclusion 10 Foreign Exchange Market Introduction: • Today no country is self sufficient in its demand and supply of goods and services and factors of production such as labour and capital are seen moving freely across the national frontiers. • All the countries trade in goods and services, borrow and lend, invest and accept investments with other countries with nominal or full control to govern the currency flow and trade. • Since different countries have their own currencies (with different purchasing power), the settlement of payments cannot be made with the currency of one country. Meaning: • The Foreign Exchange market is a decentralized world-wide market; the participants in the market include central banks, commercial banks, brokers, corporations and individuals. • The central banks monitor both market movements and sentiments and intervene according to government policy and prevailing situation. Functioning: • International economic and commercial relations between countries involve exchange of goods and services and payment for these exchanges. • The payments lead to conversion of one currency into another. • Each country has its financial system and its own currency and financial assets...

...As Americans our nation has been protected from role of money as a commodity. Americans enjoyed a world where the dollar was the main currency of exchange and stability throughout the last half of the Twentieth Century. European citizens frequently travel to a next-door nation whose currency is entirely different than their own and where their own currency would not be accepted, and American’s travelling to Canada or Mexico could be fairly sure merchants would accept their Dollars. As the first decade of the 21st Century now draws to a close, on the other hand a shock may be in store for Americans. The U.S. Dollar may no longer be the main currency of exchange in the world and may no longer be such a desired currency to hold. Many people would ask how and why a currency increases or decreases in value, the effects are to be considered when looking at gold standard. Money, although often thought of as only a medium of exchange, has a value of its own and is also a commodity, in the same way as oil, gold, silver, or corn are commodities (Feiler, Schilling). The price of money as a commodity is often determined or set as a result of government action and international trade. Value is determination by the foreign exchange markets of the world. The foreign exchange rates have a lot to do with it as well for example; Exchange rates respond directly to all sorts of events, both tangible and psychological—business cycles; balance of payment statistics; political developments; new tax...

...Executive Summary ___________________________________________________________________________ The foreign exchange market does not have a physical market place called the foreign exchange market. It is a mechanism through which one country's currency can be exchange i.e. bought or sold for the currency of another country. The foreign exchange market does not have any geographic location. The market comprises of all foreign exchange traders who are connected to each other through out the world. They deal with each other through telephones, telexes and electronic systems. The foreign exchange market operates twenty four hours a day during the business week; the only time it is silent is after the New York market closes on Friday afternoon and before the Sydney market opens on Monday morning (which would be Sunday evening New York time). In the aftermath of the Asian crisis, which curbed and restricted offshore trading in regional currencies, most derivatives markets in Asia are still in their infancy. Financial institutions trying to introduce or transplant products from mature markets to those that are lesser developed are meeting with limited success. The RBI has ushered rupee derivatives trading into the country: it has formally allowed banks and corporate to hedge against interest rate risks through the use of interest rate swaps (IRS) and forward rate agreement (FRA). According to the guidelines issued by RBI there will be no restriction on the tenure and size of the...

...value of the goods was expressed in terms of other goods. This type of trade was called as the Barter System. The limitations of this system of trade paved the path for the introduction of ‘Money’and Money gave birth to the need to exchange different currency:- Foreign Currency trading. The origin of Foreign Exchange (Forex) trading traces its history to centuries ago. The Babylonians are credited with the first use of paper notes and receipts. However, during this phase of history Speculation hardly ever happened. During the middle ages, the introduction of a paper form of governmental I.O.U. gained acceptance. This type of I.O.U. was introduced more successfully through force than through persuasion.These paper bills represented transferable third-party payments of funds, making foreign currency exchange trading much easier for merchants and traders and causing these regional economies to flourish. These I.O.U’s have now become the basis of today's modern currencies. From its infantile stages during the Middle Ages to First World war, the forex markets were relatively stable and without much speculative activity. During this phase, most Central banks supported their currencies with convertibility to gold. This standard had a major weakness called the ‘boom-bust’ pattern. As an economy strengthened (Boom), it would import a great deal from out of the country until it ran down its gold reserves required to support its money; as a result, the money supply would diminish, interest...
