There are numerous types of markets that offer the investor a chance to profit. The procedures that are to be followed are different for each market. For instance, there is the Futures Market which deals in commodities like Food grains, seed oils and similar things. The traditional Stock market is also prevalent which deals in stocks like bonds and commercial bills. There is also the Gold Market that deals in the precious metals like Silver, Gold and Platinum. The Forex Trading Market is also existent which deals in foreign currency. The name Forex is derived from the two words Foreign and Exchange.
There are many factors which contribute to the existence of this market. They are mentioned below:
1. Investment and trade: The commodities traded in this market are the foreign currencies themselves. One needs to buy the other currency in his base currency, whichever is used in his nation. He can then trade using that procured currency or the original currency itself. While converting the currencies, there are differences in the amount of money utilized and made. This difference is either the profit or the loss.
2. Fluctuation: The Forex Trading Market is known to be extremely volatile and unpredictable. The currency values are always either going up or down. It is a very rare case that the currency remains stable or stagnant. This is the primary reason behind the volatile nature of the market. A Forex Market Trader has to find a way to be in an advantageous position in between the immense fluctuation.
3. Hedging Factor: If we consider the fluctuation between the USD and EUR, then any European company that owns a factory in the US, will have to convert the USD to EUR to have all the profits and losses in one standard of measure. While setting up the factory, the company has to think about many risks regarding the two currencies and their performance altogether. This is because they directly affect the company’s performance. If the factory hays to be sold, then it also involves certain risks and these risks can be eliminated by the process of hedging.
4. Development of the market: The Forex Trading Market has grown to become the largest international market the world has witnessed. The market is not as old as compared to the other markets, but it has grown at a very high rate. Statistics show that the daily turnover of the market is close to about $3.8 trillion. Due to the global nature of the market, it remains open to the investors at all hours of the day for five days a week. There are specific things to prioritize if the investor wants to succeed in the market. Some of them are namely the trading strategy, the broker involved and the platform he provides to the investor.

EUR, GBP and AUD Support and Resistance by GoLearn Forex
Key Levels of Support & Resistance
EUR, GBP, & AUD
As the market continues its sideways movement it is a good idea to keep cognizant of important key levels of S&R as well as the 50 SMA and 100 SMA. When markets move sideways for an extended period of time ensuing price action on a breach of major S&R or an MA can be quick, therefore you want to be in a position to execute.
INSERT AUD CHART
AUD key levels of Resistance are as follows; .9300 , .9500, and .9650.
AUD key Support levels are the 50 SMA which is currently at .9038. The next support level is at .8890 which was the prior low and also represents the 76.4% Fibonacci Retrace level going back to July of 2008.
______________________________________
The EUR is in between 2 key levels of Resistance with the lower level handle at 1.4870 and the near term Resistance at 1.5055. If we break near term Resistance at 55 then we expect the 76.4% Fibonacci Retrace level from July 2008, at a handle of 1.5165 to stand as the next key Resistance level. Looking north just a bit further 1.5345 would represent R4
INSERT EUR CHART
A candle appearing below the Support level of the 50 SMA would signal a Short EUR entry. A very strong Short EUR signal would be a close below 61.8% Fibonacci Retrace level from July 2008, which is perfectly in sync with the prior low at 1.4621
GBP is sitting between 2 near term Resistance levels. We have R1 at 1.65, R2 at 1.66 and R3 at 1.70. the 100 day MA is sitting at 1.6404 and in line with the important Fibonacci Retrace level of 38.2% from November of 2007.
INSERT CHART GBP
When a 100 SMA is above a 50 SMA, as it is with the Cable, it is usually indicative of a falling price environment. A close below the 50 SMA,currently at 1.6340 would generate a near term Short Pound entry. The next level of Support at S2 is 1.6130. A breach of S2 would more than likely send us south of 1.60.
The longer price spends consolidating between 2 points the more price action we expect to see when a breakout finally occurs. It is analogous to a spring placed in a box. The longer the spring and the more coils one forces into a confined space the more resistance the spring builds. Conversely, a short spring in the same space has less potential energy. Break open the box and the larger spring is going to move quicker and further than the smaller spring. Therefore the longer we consolidate price into a range the more price action we expect to see when it finally breaks key levels of Support and Resistance.
