Under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), Indian residents are legally permitted to trade currency derivatives only through recognized domestic exchanges (NSE/BSE) on approved currency pairs (USDINR, EURINR, GBPINR, JPYINR).

Base vs Quote

Currencies are priced in relative pairs (e.g. EUR/USD); buying one currency simultaneously means selling the counter currency.

Forex Technical Taxonomy

Currency classifications, pip mathematics, and global market sessions

Tier-1 Liquidity Providers

Central Banks & Interbank Dealers

Sovereign entities (Federal Reserve, ECB, Bank of Japan) and global commercial banks (JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank, Citi) quote wholesale bid/ask spreads via electronic networks (EBS, Reuters Dealing).

Electronic Communication Networks

ECN / STP Execution Models

True ECN brokers route client orders directly to interbank liquidity pools without a dealing desk, preventing broker-client conflicts of interest and eliminating artificial execution slippage.

OPERATIONAL MODELS

Institutional FX Methodologies

4 Operational Models

Scalping

Ultra Short-Term

Capturing 3-8 pip micro-fluctuations on 1m-5m charts during high-liquidity session opens.

Tools: Order flow, tick volume, London open breakouts

Risk Profile: High intensity; requires disciplined stop loss and zero slippage brokers.

Day Trading

Intraday Session

Executing 15m-1h trend continuations during the London/New York session overlap, closing flat before 17:00 EST rollover.

Tools: Support/Resistance, Key liquidity pools, ATR

Risk Profile: Avoid holding unhedged positions across Tier-1 macro releases.

Swing Trading

Multi-Day

Capturing 80-250 pip multi-day momentum cycles following Central Bank rate decisions and inflation trends.

Tools: Daily chart geometry, 4h breakout confirmation, Fibonacci

Risk Profile: Moderate; must factor in daily rollover financing swaps.

Macro Carry Trading

Quarterly Position

Borrowing in low-interest currencies (JPY/CHF) to invest in high-yield currencies (USD/AUD), pocketing interest rate differentials.

Tools: Central Bank dot plots, sovereign yield curves

Risk Profile: Severe exposure to abrupt currency appreciation or Central Bank intervention.
