The Spot Market; Step by step

1. Introduction

The spot market accounts for nearly a third of global foreign exchange turnover. It can be broadly divided into two tiers:

• The interbank market where currency is bought and sold for delivery and settlement within two days, with the banks acting as " wholesalers" or "market makers".
  
• The retail market made up of private traders, who deal over the telephone or the internet through intermediaries (brokers).

The forex market has no centralised exchanges. All trades are over-the-counter deals, agreed and settled by individual counterparties known to one another. The forex market is truly global and operates 24 hours a day, Monday to Friday. Daily trading commences in Wellington, New Zealand and follows the sun to (inter alia) Sydney, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, Bahrain, Frankfurt, Geneva, Zurich, Paris, London, New York, Chicago and Los Angeles before starting again.

Alpari is happy to announce the upcoming introduction of a new type of real-time trading account offering direct access to bank liquidity as well as both manual and automated trading capabilities.

On August 20, 2010, we will unveil the new classic.ndd.zulutrade account- a live trading account that uses the advanced functionality of two fully compatible platforms, MetaTrader 4 and the web-interface ZuluTrade.

Furthermore, classic.ndd.zulutrade works with Non-Dealing Desk technology to provide direct access to bank liquidity, instantaneous order execution and no re-quotes.

Alpari Launches a New Platform: Zulutrade

ZuluTrade is a free service that automatically trades forex signals provided by third party signal providers. You simply pick one or more trading systems from the hundreds that are available and use Zulu Trade to automatically trade the signals given.

Alpari always strives to find new ways to make trading simpler and more convenient for our clients. Alpari latest step towards this goal is the launch of a classic.zulutrade account and the unique ZuluTrade trading platform. The main benefit of this platform is that it provides you with the opportunity to receive signals for automated trading from a large group of experienced traders. This new platform should be especially interesting for novice traders as you don't need to be a Forex professional to successfully work with the Zulutrade platform. It's enough to simply choose a suitable strategy.

ZuluTrade New Features – Slippage Chart & Signal Provider Broker

ZuluTrade is constantly improving its service and is proud to introduce two New Features on the Signal Provider Performance page.

• Slippage Chart: This new chart displays the average slippage (in pips) each broker has depending on the selected Signal Provider. Slippage occurs when the trade results of a live follower, are less than the results of a Signal Provider. This can happen due to the difference between the feed in a Signal Provider and a Live follower account, or due to execution latencies.

• Signal Provider Broker: Displays the broker that each Signal Provider uses.
