Summary of the April 2010 Triennial Central Bank Survey1

Turnover on the global foreign exchange market

Global foreign exchange market turnover was 20% higher in April 2010 than in

April 2007, with average daily turnover of $4.0 trillion compared to $3.3 trillion.

The increase was driven by the 48% growth in turnover of spot transactions,

which represent 37% of foreign exchange market turnover. Spot turnover rose

to $1.5 trillion in April 2010 from $1.0 trillion in April 2007.

The increase in turnover of other foreign exchange instruments was more

modest at 7%, with average daily turnover of $2.5 trillion in April 2010. Turnover

in outright forwards and currency swaps grew strongly. Turnover in foreign

exchange swaps was flat relative to the previous survey, while trading in

currency options decreased.

As regards counterparties, the higher global foreign exchange market turnover

is associated with the increased trading activity of "other financial institutions" -

a category that includes non-reporting banks, hedge funds, pension funds,

mutual funds, insurance companies and central banks, among others. Turnover

by this category grew by 42%, increasing to $1.9 trillion in April 2010 from $1.3

trillion in April 2007. For the first time, activity of reporting dealers with other

financial institutions surpassed inter-dealer transactions (ie transactions

between reporting dealers).

Foreign exchange market activity became more global, with cross-border

transactions representing 65% of trading activity in April 2010, while local

transactions account for 35%.

The percentage share of the US dollar has continued its slow decline witnessed

since the April 2001 survey, while the euro and the Japanese yen gained

relative to April 2007. Among the 10 most actively traded currencies, the

Australian and Canadian dollars both increased market share, while the pound

sterling lost ground and the Swiss franc declined marginally. The market share

of emerging market currencies increased, with the biggest gains for the Turkish

lira and the Korean won.

The relative ranking of foreign exchange trading centres has changed slightly

from the previous survey. Banks located in the United Kingdom accounted for

36.7%, against 34.6% in 2007, of all foreign exchange market turnover,

followed by the United States (18%), Japan (6%), Singapore (5%), Switzerland

(5%), Hong Kong SAR (5%) and Australia (4%).

Turnover in OTC interest rate derivatives

Activity in OTC interest rate derivatives grew by 24%, with average daily

turnover of $2.1 trillion in April 2010. Almost all of the increase relative to the

last survey was due to the growth of forward rate agreements (FRAs), which

increased by 132% to reach $601 billion.

Risk Warning

Best Charts For Forex Trading

Is the Law of Attraction applicable in Forex world?  Is it just another Self-Help BS or

there is more to it? Is there a true Forex Secret? Let’s explore.

You may find this strange topic to write and may be wondering how on earth some-

thing like The Secret  relates  to Forex. I never thought  I’ll write an article that  has

Secret in its title but here it is anyways.

What is The Secret?

First of all  if you don’t  know The Secret is then I suggest you Google it, there is a

book and a 90 minute video.  Once you have done that come back to this article and

it will make more sense.

I came across this  video  through  spam email  which landed in  my inbox,  it  asked

me to see this video and then take quick action to buy their product.  I did see the

video but didn’t buy whatever they were selling, not because I hated The Secret but

I couldn’t correlate between the two.

The Secret talks  about “Law of Attraction” (some would say a fancy name for “day

dreaming” ). The Law of Attraction states that like attracts like; your thoughts and

feelings attract corresponding experiences. Your thoughts  become things and by

simply imagining it and taking actions you can get everything in life.

To some degree it is true since it emphasize heavily on positive thinking. Though not

necessarily true in Forex. Let me explain.

Where it Fails?

Imagine a day when you encounter a big loss in the market.  If you are firm believer

of The Secret you would avoid any negative thoughts that come to your mind, wipe

the complete day out of your memory and start fresh next day. This may not sound

too bad but there is a problem.

Successful trading is an incremental learning process. It is not different then a player

watching a recording of his / her performance, noticing mistakes and avoiding them

the next time he / she is out there performing again. By completely neglecting the

past performance you would  miss out on the constructive  learning process.   The

Secret fails miserably at this point.

The Real Forex Secret

But there is a Forex Secret. The secret is not only to record your mistakes but also to

record what you did “Right”. Repeating over and over again the “Right” and avoiding

the “Wrong” is the real Forex Secret.  That’s how you excel not only in Forex but in

anything in life.

This article is meant to raise a lot of eyebrows and to inspire some good conversa-

tion, so go ahead and send me your comments. I would love to hear your thoughts.

Note that directories and submission sites also have their own quality assurance staff that will check the articles. Search engines will not also give your articles or website high ranks in search results if the quality is poor.

It is even recommended to optimize articles with keywords. Keywords are very important because these are some of the main factors that will boost the amount of traffic in your website since it can gain better visibility online. The title as well as the whole article body must contain relevant keywords that are often used by Internet surfers when they are trying to get more information online. In the body, it is suggested that the keywords will appear in the first paragraph, somewhere in the middle of the body, and in the last paragraph.

Back lines should not be neglected. These are the important tools that the readers can use to get into your website. Without these, there will be no way for the readers to reach to the website where the main products are advertised. You can use the keywords in the article body as anchor text for your back lines.
