I have tried a few stock exchange programs and I have found whenever I try to either buy, sell, short or cover stocks the prices of the stock alway tend to be that stock’s price from 15-20 minutes ago. Is there a program that is accurate to the time I process the transactions (because I already know that a stock is going to go up or down since I have seen it do so 20 minutes ago). Does anyone know of a good program, and maybe one that deals with forex, currencies, etc?

The Foreign Exchange market commonly known as Forex or FX, had integrated into the world’s biggest financial market. You will trade a pair of foreign currency by simultaneously buying and selling special foreign currency pairs with different traders in various exchanges. The forex market was recognized in the early 1960’s. The exchange rate will depend on the performance of a foreign currency pair on different international exchanges.

The differentiation between the forex market and the stock market is the huge trading that occurs on the FX market. Forex is the largest and most prolific financial market because each day, more than 1 trillion worth of currency exchange takes place between investors, speculators and countries. Forex market is closely related to various countries’ politic, economy and culture, Forex traders could also obtain profit from other kinds of news, for example interest rate level change, will influence the interest of the Forex deposit.

Forex trading is simply sounds too easy for anyone to make profit in very short time. But before you committed into Forex trading, it is strongly advised to have full understanding in Forex trading. Another important factor that any Forex traders can make huge profit is the high fluctuation for currency. Every day, every second, the currency exchange rate is moving up and down, the Forex exchange rate fluctuates more heavily whenever there is any important economic data being released.

The difference between the stock market and the forex market is that the forex market is global, worldwide. The stock market is something that takes place only within a country. The stock market is based on businesses and products that are within a country, and the forex market takes that a step further to include any country.

Let us look at some key differences between the Forex market, and the Stock market. The Forex market can be traded 24 hours per day, but the Stock market is only open 8 hours per day. This fact alone creates a very large advantage in favor of the Forex market. Within this twenty four hours period different currencies behave in different manners. As a day trader it is very important to know the personality of the currency you are trading.

The stock market in any country is available to be found on only that countries currency, say for example the Japanese yen, and the Japanese stock market, or the United States stock market and the dollar. However, in the forex market, you are mixed up with various types of countries, and many currencies. You will find the location to a variety of currencies and this is a huge difference between the forex market and the stock market.

Selecting what to trade and when, is much easier to accomplish with the Forex market. The leverage and liquidity found in the currency market is far greater than found in the Stock market, and the currency market as a whole is much larger than the Stock market.

First Question: Do I need to pay tax on the money which I have made in forex Market (Foreign Exchange)? Somebody told me TAX already is included in the pair spread and you don’t need to pay any extra tax! Something like spread betting that is tax free!
Second question: If I have to pay tax on the money made in forex market, How would I pay it? I am full-time employed somewhere else and my current company takes care of taxing my current income. What is the most efficient way of taking care of this extra money?

1. The Chinese minimum wage is around 600 yuan (USD80)
per month.
Americans minimum wage is about USD5 per hour = USD800 per month

Minimum wage Americans USD800 vs Chinese USD80

2. In terms of food, China basically is a Self-Sufficient country. Therefore Not Necessary to buy other currencies for food shelter.
And that’s partly why their foreign reseves are growing.

3. The Chinese Foreign Exchange Reserves is USD1,400 Billion.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/list_of_cou…

If US urged China to float their currency without the existing fixed bands, would this help to compete with China?
(US hoping that the Yuan will increase and labor become expensive hence certain products in China becoming costly that all factories could be shifted back to US)

With 1.4trillions reserves, forex mkt is in their hand.

Just like the japanese who have lots2 of foreign reserves, the Chinese too can easily interfere in the forex open market (throw away their Yuan to make it cheaper) to determine the value as they like.
