Electronic communication network An Electronic Communication Network or ECN is a term used for a computer system that facilitates forex trading of currency pairs or stocks. This entire process is conducted without bringing the stock exchanges into consideration. ECN is also termed as the Alternative Trading Systems or Network. The concept of ECN was first introduced in the year 1969. Since then, it has gained a lot of popularity and is now being used by a large number of organizations such as Liquids Markets. ECN increases the competition level that exists among companies because it decreases costs while giving clients complete access to all their orders. Moreover, clients are also capable of placing an order at any time during the day. Don’t miss out on this great article here: http://www.lqdmarkets.com/blog/electronic-communication-network/

EARN UP TO 5% INTEREST ON YOUR DEPOSIT! We have all seen numerous FX brokerage companies desperately trying to attract new clients by luring them with all sorts of welcome bonuses. Usually it’s a monetary bonus but we’ve seen brokers offering anything from formula one tickets to sports cars to a small yacht! Now we don’t want to spoil the dreams of any people out there but the simple truth is, no one actually ever receives that 5000 USD bonus or that brand new Maserati. There are always clauses that prevent the account holder from ever actually profiting from what’s being offered. At Liquid Markets we like to deal with reality, facts and not fiction, and we do not think that making empty promises is the right way to start off a business relationship with any client. Instead of a bonus, which you will never receive, Liquid Markets will pay interest on your account balance, every single day. We’ll pay you the base currency interest rate even if you don’t trade on your account (a LIBOR proxy interest rate), but if you do trade you’ll receive a much higher interest rate, in fact, the more you trade the higher the rate all the way to LIBOR +5%. Additionally, even the margin you’re using to trade is paid interest on, so even if you have open positions, you’ll still receive the associated interest payment on the margin you’re using. As opposed to any bonus scheme, there are no strings attached, you can withdraw your interest payment at any time, at a moment’s notice. As a financial markets participant, we want to provide you with a true interbank money markets environment. In that respect, we are offering daily deposit interest rates based on your cash equity and your day-to-day volume. Let your money work for you with these unique interest-bearing daily deposit rates.

Currencies Outlook The markets seemed to be triggering more impulsive moves for various currency pairs since the beginning of the week with most fingers pointing to Japan. Today’s news headlines read “Markets could be on a verge of a blowup, thanks to Japan”. For FX traders, what would you think the sentiments are in the markets at present following that statement? I would say, chaos flooded with an increased amount of uncertainties would describe the present market conditions. Despite the Bank of Japan’s previous move of flooding the markets with printed money and the given impact on the market today, the Governor of the Bank of Japan, Haruhiko Kuroda, made a statement saying that the rising stock prices does not present a bubble at the moment.

Would the overall bearish sentiment for both the US dollar and the various correlated instruments carry through next week? The implications onto the market from previous as well as upcoming data would most probably show a clearer picture after next week’s Core Consumption Expenditures data.

What is a True ECN Forex Platform? ECN stands for Electronic Communications Network. If your forex broker offers ECN forex, it means that the broker does not use a dealing desk. Instead, the broker provides you with access to a marketplace where there are multiple makers, traders and bankers. Anyone can enter in any competing bid or offer and have his forex trade filled by several liquidity providers in a completely anonymous environment. What this means is that whichever trades you make, you will not do it in your name, but instead use the name of your broker. This lets you remain completely anonymous while you make as many trades as you like. Read More: http://www.lqdmarkets.com/blog/what-is-a-true-ecn-forex-platform/

Yesterday, most traders were hoping for a single answer as to why Euro plunged but that one question may have multiple answers. As mentioned in my previous analysis, comments made by Draghi unfolded bearish sentiments while members of the European Monetary Board (EMU) didn’t sound like they would long the Euro if they were to trade it. Following more news and comments later that evening, German Central Bank’s Jean Weidmann contributed to the further fall of the Euro after hinting the possibility of a ‘rate change’ by the ECB.

EUR/USD Forecast The German ZEW report released yesterday missed expectations by 3.2 basis points (a lower expectation), which contributed to the euro falling right after the announcement to levels forecasted following the bearish ‘W’ pattern. As for the euro zone’s CPI for March figures settled at 1.2% MM poses a neutral sentiment with no break above or lower to these levels. For a bigger picture on what is in store for the euro zone, it’s best to see what we concluded from Draghi’s speech based on the following mentioned topics: 1) Updates in Areas of Economic and Monetary Policy– Generic Outlook/ Current Status Initially, Draghi sounded like a broken record during his speech where he talked about the start of the euro’s recession in 2012, contributing to its unprecedented unemployment levels especially amongst young people. The key point for traders to consider is that gradual recovery is expected but Downside Risks governs. In summary, bearish sentiments are expected and we need to see governments efforts working in synergy with the banks as opposed to just a name and blame game.
