Qualsiasi broker che ti capiterà di contattare ti offrirà senza indugi le scarne informazioni che ti serviranno (se deciderai di farlo) per operare sul Forex.
Il Forex é un mercato non regolamentato (OTC) e ti capiterà con broker differenti di trovare modalità operative differenti.
Il pip o tick pero' rimarrà sempre quello
Troverai invece abbastanza ostico il concetti di Tom Next o "riporto della posizione" che data l'ora tarda ti incollo in ingelse.
In the Foreign Exchange market, each transaction carries an assigned value date. This value date is the date in which the buying or selling actions will realize their value and demand a settlement of payment. This value date typically falls 2 business days after the transaction was executed. The profits or losses produced by the buying and selling actions will then settle into the specific cash account.
What this means to the trader is that when you take a position in a currency it is implied that you will take actual delivery of the currency in two days. However, the majority of individuals that trade the foreign currency market are speculating and have no intention of taking delivery on the currency. This is where the Tomorrow Next Day procedures come into play.
If a trader opens and closes a position during the same business day, the value dates will be the same for each transaction. The trader will not experience his positions being carried over into the next day. This is due to the fact that the payment for his purchase or receipt for his payment, has already been transacted and will settle on the same value date.
However, if a trader holds his position past the close of the current business day, the position must be covered and carried over into the next day, unless actual delivery of the currency is desired. Tomorrow Next Day (Tom Next) procedures allow the trader to do this. The position that the client holds is closed out at a predetermined closing rate, and reestablished at a new opening rate. This action assigns the newly opened position a new value date and allows the client to hold this position another day without taking delivery of the currency. The rates used to convey the new entry prices are known as ‘Tomorrow Next Day’ rates.
