Even though the mighty US dominates many markets, most of Spot Forex is still traded through London in Great Britain. So for our next description we shall use London time. Most deals in Forex are done as Spot deals. Spot deals are nearly always due for settlement two business days later. This is referred to as the value date or delivery date.

In this book we will only be discussing the main market sometime referred to as the Spot or Cash market. The word FOREX is derived from the words Foreign Exchange and is the largest financial market in the world. Unlike many markets the FX market is open 24 hours per day and has an estimated $1.2 Trillion in turnover every day.

Let's decide that if the stock moves below $19, we will accept that we were wrong about the direction of the stock, sell the position immediately, and take a small loss.

Symmetrical triangle patterns can be found in almost any market and any time frame. They normally signify some indecision in the market and as the pattern develops it is common to see a decrease in volume. The pattern forms as the bar's highs and lows inside the triangle converge so as to outline the shape of a triangle. |
