About Forex Trading

Forex Trading (Currency Trading) is the simultaneous buying of one currency and selling of another. The foreign exchange market (Forex or FX) is the largest financial market in the world with a daily turnover of over $1.3 trillion. Examples of currency trading pairs are Euro/US Dollar (EUR/USD) and US Dollar/Japanese Yen (USD/JPY). Most currency transactions involve the “Majors”-the US Dollar, Euro, Japanese Yen, British Pound, Swiss Franc, Canadian Dollar and Australian Dollar.

Unlike other financial markets, the foreign exchange market has no physical location and no central exchange. The Forex market operates 24 hours a day through an electronic network of banks, corporations and individual traders. Forex trading begins every day in Sydney, and then moves to Tokyo, followed by London and New York. The major market makers, or dealers, consist of the commercial and investment banks, exchange traded futures, and registered Futures Commission Merchants (FCM).

Foreign exchange markets and prices are mainly influenced by international trade flows and investment flows. The FX markets are also influenced, but to a lesser extent, by the same factors that influence the equity and bond markets; economic and political conditions, interest rates, inflation, and political instability. Such factors typically have only a short-term impact, which makes Forex attractive-it offers the investor some of the diversification necessary to protect against adverse movements in the equity and bond markets.

Why Managed Forex?

Self-trading in the currency markets can be a difficult proposition.
To be successful, a currency trader must follow market movements 24 hours a day, six days a week. Many Forex investors do not have the time, experience or desire to self trade, but seek the diversification and profit potential that foreign exchange trading offers.

Forex Managed Accounts were created for investors with risk capital who chose to have a professional trade on their behalf. In a Forex Managed Account, the positions are held in the investors account, independent of other investors. Unlike mutual funds or hedge funds, which commingle your funds with other investors, a Forex Managed Account is an account held exclusively in your name and all or part of your funds can be redeemed within one day. There is no lock up period and no withdrawal fees.

Based on your long-term goals, risk tolerance and time horizon, you can select a VFX trading professional consistent with your trading objectives to actively manage your account. Whether you're interested in a conservative or aggressive program, identify the trader who will suit your risk parameters and profit objectives.

What you should know if you decide to open a managed forex account?

Complete all documents required by your professional trader and forex broker, including a Limited Power of Attorney for the trader, who is registered with the CFTC and a NFA member, to trade on your behalf.

The funds are sent by wire or personal check to the broker who is registered with the CFTC at an FDIC insured bank. The account is opened under the name of the client only and is linked to the trading decisions of the professional trader on either a “percent allocation” or “lot allocation” basis, depending on your trader’s method of trading. Only the holder of the account (client) has the authority to withdraw any or all funds from the account by request.

At your convenience, the managed account allows you to fully view the current and past activity of the account, which the professional trader has executed on your behalf.

Advantages of Managed Funds

1) Ability to Profit in Rising or Declining Markets:
Unlike equity and fixed income managers, a currency-trading manager employs both long and short positions with equal facility. In currency trading, there is no difference in profit potential between a long and short position. Because of this characteristic, a currency portfolio is not 'biased long' but able to profit under any market conditions taking advantage of rising and falling cross-currency valuations.

2) Global Diversification:
The performance of equity and fixed income investments in one country is often highly correlated with the performance of equity and fixed income investments in other countries.
As a result, global portfolios composed solely of equity and fixed income investments lack full diversification, even if they are geographically dispersed.
Investing in currencies gives investors access to markets beyond equity and fixed income investments, providing more complete diversification and a reduction in growth portfolio risk.

3) Transparency:
You can view all trading activity and account balance in the account at anytime via access through the trading software provided by the forex broker on your home PC or laptop.

4) Liquidity:
The account is your own and, upon request to withdraw any funds, you may receive the funds by wire within approximately 48hrs or, by check within 5 to 10 business days.

5) Reduce Portfolio Risk While Enhancing Returns:
When combined with an investor's existing portfolio of equity and fixed income instruments, a Kompas FX Forex Managed Account Program can reduce the volatility and risk of that portfolio with the potential of enhancing long-term returns.

6) Risk Control:
Profitable investing in currencies demands disciplined risk control procedures in order to limit risk and achieve the smoothest possible growth in its investors' account value. Leverage is an acceptable and useful tool when used judiciously and with strict risk management techniques. Investors in currencies are therefore able to achieve a high rate of return with a level of risk control that is not possible with traditional "buy and hold" investments. Although returns are far from guaranteed, professional trading managers tend to out perform individual speculators by their deployment of disciplined money management techniques and a systematic trading approach. Professional traders also tend to use their leverage more judiciously thus avoiding sudden catastrophic losses

Note of Caution

Some hedge funds may require a minimum lock up period for funds of up to three months, and the more established players may even require more. Large publicized losses at some of the world's biggest hedge funds are sometimes just the tip of the iceberg. Many hedge funds which trade risky OTC instruments suffer significant losses from time to time and any investment in these funds should be regarded as extremely speculative in nature. In selecting a hedge fund in which to invest we urge the use of common sense. Just because currencies may seem exotic or less familiar then traditional markets (i.e. equities, futures, etc) does not mean that the rules of finance and simple logic are suspended. Any promises of fantastic and consistent monthly gains of 15% or more, for example, are wildly exaggerated and would never be claimed by a legitimate investment manager. Although some traders do manage to produce some amazing short term gains the risks taken to produce these gains are enormous and generally mean that even the best intentioned manager who stretches his leverage beyond prudence is bound to eventually crash and burn.

A Note about the performance data:

“Every signal received by ZuluTrade is executed on at least one live / demo broker account. The results contain final spread, swap rates, and profit or loss from current open positions, hence all possible costs by the broker. The spread is the standard spread advertised by the broker you’re trading with. Hence our performance always reflects real market conditions. Due to the volatility of the markets, sometimes results may vary between accounts.All signals and trades executed on a demo account are considered to be hypothetical.”
Providers are considered to be opening many lots when they open multiple trades for the same currency at the same time. ZuluTrade does not recommend or make any implications about the future performance of any of these systems. Please read their FAQs and Disclaimers.

ZuluTrade’s Disclaimer: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particularly trading program.
One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk. Variables such as the ability to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses as well as maintaining adequate liquidity are material points which can adversely affect actual real trading results.
