This concept is critical to understanding global trade dynamics and geopolitical strategies.

Petrodollar: Definition and Origins

A petrodollar refers to the US dollars earned by oil-exporting countries through the sale of oil to other nations. The term gained fame in the 1970s, a period marked by significant changes in the global economic landscape, particularly concerning energy resources and currency stability.

Is It Possible to Trade a Short Squeeze?

Understanding the dynamics of a short squeeze is essential for traders navigating the volatile terrains of financial markets. This phenomenon, where a sharp increase in an asset's price forces short sellers to cover their positions, can lead to dramatic market movements. In this article from FXOpen, we explore what triggers a short squeeze, how to identify potential candidates, and approaches for trading them effectively.

What Is a Short Squeeze?

A short squeeze occurs when a swift increase in an asset's price leads to significant losses for those who have traded against that asset by short selling. While short-selling stocks involves borrowing shares to sell them, aiming to buy them back at a lower price, it's important to note that in the context of CFDs (Contracts for Difference), traders are engaging in agreements to exchange the difference in the price of an asset from when the position is opened to when it is closed, without the need to physically borrow or deliver the actual securities.

If the price rises instead of falling, short sellers are compelled to buy back the shares at a higher price to close their positions and prevent further losses. This rush to buy back shares adds further upward pressure on the asset's price.

What Is Naked Forex Trading, and How Do Traders Use It?

Traders rely on various tools and techniques to trade the forex market. Naked forex trading is one of the oldest and most popular trading approaches among currency traders. This article delves into the details of naked trading, providing insights into its implementation and distinguishing features that set it apart from other analysis techniques.

Understanding Naked Forex Trading

Naked trading is a trading style that involves analysing markets using a clean price chart, meaning one without technical indicators. Traders who use this method make decisions based on real-time price movements and their trading instincts.

Naked trading has its roots in the early days of trading, long before the advent of sophisticated technical analysis tools and indicators. Early traders relied solely on price action and market behaviour to make trading decisions. By stripping away the complexity of modern trading tools, naked trading aims to return to the fundamental principles of trading, emphasising the importance of understanding market psychology and price dynamics.

Is There the Best Time to Trade Stock CFDs?

If you ask experienced traders, many will say that they trade on certain days or at certain times of the day. Their choice is determined by the market dynamics, volatility, and liquidity. It’s crucial to understand when the best time of the day, week, and month to trade stocks may be. This FXOpen article delves into the intricacies of timing, which may help traders optimise their strategies for greater effectiveness.

Is There the Best Time to Day Trade?
The operational hours of stock markets vary according to their respective time zones, resulting in differing opening and closing times. For example, the US stock market opens at 9:30 and closes at 16:00 local time, while the UK market opens at 8:00 and closes at 16:30 local time.

The theory states that to identify potentially the best time frame for day trading, many traders break the day into four blocks, such as the opening bell, mid-morning, lunch hour, and afternoon, and look at the advantages and challenges that each timeframe presents.
