Term and Popular Description on Forex
Bear/Bearish
An investor who believes that a security, a sector, or the overall market is about to fall. opposite of bull. Also known as downtrend of a chart.
Bull/Bullish
Bull refers to having a positive outlook on a particular security or an investment. Also known as uptrend in a chart.
Example :
-if an analyst is "Bullish" on the US dollar, it means that the analyst believes the currency will appreciate. Bullish is used in contrast with bearish which connotes a negative point of view.
The entomology of expression "bull" derives from the male bovine. Bulls, the male counterpart to the cow, are known for their aggressiveness and sharp horns.
Broker
An individual or firm which acts as an intermediary between a purchaser and seller, generally charging a commission. For securities and most other products, a license is required.
Example : I'm using FxOpen as my primary broker on Forex Trading. My broker is Belverdec Inc.
Pip
Pip is taken from"percentage in point," refers to the very last digit of a currency price.
Example : Let's say the market price for Eur/Usd is 1.2636.
If the sell price were to increase to 1.2636 we have a one pip increase. Should the EUR/USD sell price move from 1.2635 up to 1.2735, we say EUR/USD increased 100 pips.
In the example of EURUSD, one pip is worth 1/100th of a US Dollar cent. Because currency traders are concerned with relatively small movements in the forex market, traders talk about that movement in terms of pips.
Spread
The Spread refers to the difference between the sell and buy price for a security.
Every market has a spread. Whether Foreign Exchange, equities, futures or your local boutique, the market maker will practically always charge a higher price than the price paid.
The size of the spread is primarily due to liquidity and transparency in the market. More buyers and sellers competing in the same space bring Bid/Offer spreads lower. When all participants have access to the same price information at the same time, few are able to get away with wider spreads.
Since Foreign Exchange is the world's biggest and most liquid market and as technology has given anyone with access to a computer and the internet real-time pricing information - spreads in fx extremely low, just factions a cent.
But,it is depends on the broker you have choose. Different broker may have different spread.
Example : If the market price for Usd/Jpy is 111.05, bid price is 111.05 and the ask price is 111.07. It means the spread for Usd/Jpy is 3pips.

What is Forex (Foreign Exchange, FX) ?
Make speculative transactions on the exchange rate between two currencies.
These rates may be influenced by world economic and political events, currency rate differentials, as well as many other factors including extreme weather conditions (hurricanes), acts of terror etc.
The Forex is the largest marketplace in the world with more than 1.8 trillion dollars changing hands daily and so making it one of the most attractive and lucrative markets.
How does the Forex work?
The forex market allows you to buy and sell currencies against each other and speculate on the differences in exchange rates.
Making a transaction on the Forex Market is simple: the procedures are identical to that of any other market so switching to trading currencies is straightforward for most traders.
Buy/Sell, Long/Short
If you want to open a position (i.e.: place an order to sell – to make a profit if the exchange rate falls) you have to choose the amount (i.e.: 100.000 EURUSD) from the drop down menu on the platform and then click the mouse on the sell currency button: SELL (if you want to place an order to buy, you should act in reverse).
This will open a position in the market and you will receive an immediate notification of it on your trading station.
To close an open position, you have to do the opposite of the initial operation – in our case buy the 100.000 EURUSD back.
Quotation System
Currencies are quoted in pairs, for example – EUR/USD or USD/JPY.
The first currency in the pair is called the base currency and the second is called the counter currency.
The base currency is the ‘basis’ for purchases and sales. For example, if you buy EUR/USD, then you acquire Euros and sell Dollars. You do this if you expect the Euro to grow against the Dollar.
It is also possible for a currency pair to be quoted as USD/EUR, but this method is used extremely rarely.
Each transaction must have 2 sides – a buy and a sell (or a sell and a buy).By this we mean that it is impossible to buy 100.000 EUR/USD and then exchange it for another currency pair (i.e.: EUR/JPY) without closing the first position.
Also please note that no physical currency delivery will be made. For these purposes banks and exchange companies, which specialize in low-rate currency conversions are available.
Forex Market Working Hours
The Forex Market, based on ‘spot’ transactions, is unique in comparison with all other global markets.This is because trading takes place 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. Financial centers are open for work, and banks and other organizations exchange currencies in different parts of the world for different purposes.
Therefore, trading never stops apart from a short break during the weekend. Early closings are possible depending on calendar arrangement such as, for example, Christmas or new year’s eve.
Margins
A margin deposit is not, as many traditional traders suggest, the payment in cash for purchasing market shares. A margin is in fact a guarantee or a trust deposit, providing protection from losses during a deal? It allows traders to open positions on amounts that greatly exceed their account limits and so increase their buying power. 1:100 leverage, which means you can control 100 times your deposit in the real market.
If the funds in the account, in the course of trading, fall below the prescribed margin, your positions will be closed automatically without prior notice. Using this system, the client’s account cannot go overdrawn even under volatile, fast-changing market conditions.
The formula for calculating margins is as follows: (account balance + profit/loss) : open position = the margin.
Swap
For the sake of transparency and unlike any other online broker we actually have a complete explanation of applied cost of carry on behalf of the market or the customer on open positions held overnight. This overnight cost of carry is presented as a simple flat fee either paid or charged on a customer's account. This process makes for extremely simple statements and greatly increased executional transparency since we do not modify the original price of the position entered into by the customer.

Dalam bukunya Prof. Drs. Masjfuk Zuhdi yang berjudul MASAIL FIQHIYAH; Kapita Selecta Hukum Islam, diperoleh bahwa Forex (Perdagangan Valas) diperbolehkan dalam hukum islam.
Perdagangan valuta asing timbul karena adanya perdagangan barang-barang kebutuhan/komoditi antar negara yang bersifat internasional. Perdagangan (Eksport-Import) ini tentu memerlukan alat bayar yaitu WANG yang masing-masing negara mempunyai ketentuan sendiri dan berbeda satu sama lainnya sesuai dengan penawaran dan permintaan diantara negara-negara tersebut sehingga timbul PERBANDINGAN NILAI MATAWANG(currency exchange value) antara negara.
Perbandingan nilai mata uang antar negara terkumpul dalam suatu BURSA atau PASAR yang bersifat internasional dan terikat dalam suatu kesepakatan bersama yang saling menguntungkan. Nilai mata uang suatu negara dengan negara lainnya ini berubah (berfluktuasi) setiap saat sesuai volume permintaan dan penawarannya. Adanya permintaan dan penawaran inilah yang menimbulkan transaksi mata uang. Yang secara nyata hanyalah tukar-menukar mata uang yang berbeda nilai.
HUKUM ISLAM dalam TRANSAKSI VALAS(Forex Trading)
1. Ada Ijab-Qobul: ---> Ada perjanjian untuk memberi dan menerima
Penjual menyerahkan barang dan pembeli membayar tunai.
Ijab-Qobulnya dilakukan dengan lisan, tulisan dan utusan.
Pembeli dan penjual mempunyai wewenang penuh melaksanakan dan melakukan tindakan-tindakan hukum (dewasa dan berpikiran sehat)
2. Memenuhi syarat menjadi objek transaksi jual-beli yaitu:
Suci barangnya (bukan najis)
Dapat dimanfaatkan
Dapat diserahterimakan
Jelas barang dan harganya
Dijual (dibeli) oleh pemiliknya sendiri atau kuasanya atas izin pemiliknya
Barang sudah berada ditangannya jika barangnya diperoleh dengan imbalan.
Perlu ditambahkan pendapat Muhammad Isa, bahwa jual beli saham itu diperbolehkan dalam agama.
لاتشترواالسمك فیالماءفاءنه غرد
"Jangan kamu membeli ikan dalam air, karena sesungguhnya jual beli yang demikian itu mengandung penipuan". (Hadis Ahmad bin Hambal dan Al Baihaqi dari Ibnu Mas'ud)Jual beli barang yang tidak di tempat transaksi diperbolehkan dengan syarat harus diterangkan sifat-sifatnya atau ciri-cirinya. Kemudian jika barang sesuai dengan keterangan penjual, maka sahlah jual belinya. Tetapi jika tidak sesuai maka pembeli mempunyai hak khiyar, artinya boleh meneruskan atau membatalkan jual belinya. Hal ini sesuai dengan hadis Nabi riwayat Al
Daraquthni dari Abu Hurairah:
من سترئ شيتالم يرهفله الخيارإذاراه
"Barang siapa yang membeli sesuatu yang ia tidak melihatnya, maka ia berhak khiyar jika ia telah melihatnya".
Jual beli hasil tanam yang masih terpendam, seperti ketela, kentang, bawang dan sebagainya juga diperbolehkan, asal diberi contohnya, karena akan mengalami kesulitan atau kerugian jika harus mengeluarkan semua hasil tanaman yang terpendam untuk dijual. Hal ini sesuai dengan kaidah hukum Islam:
المشقة تجلب التيسر
Kesulitan itu menarik kemudahan.
Demikian juga jual beli barang-barang yang telah terbungkus/tertutup, seperti makanan kalengan, LPG, dan sebagainya, asalkam diberi label yang menerangkan isinya. Vide Sabiq, op. cit. hal. 135. Mengenai teks kaidah hukum Islam tersebut di atas, vide Al Suyuthi, Al Ashbah wa al Nadzair, Mesir, Mustafa Muhammad, 1936 hal. 55.
JUAL BELI VALUTA ASING DAN SAHAM
Yang dimaksud dengan valuta asing adalah mata uang luar negeri seperi dolar Amerika(USD), poundsterling Inggris(GBP), Yen Jepun(JPY),Ringgit Malaysia(MYR) dan sebagainya.
Apabila antara negara terjadi perdagangan internasional maka tiap negara membutuhkan valuta asing untuk alat bayar luar negeri yang dalam dunia perdagangan disebut devisa. Misalnya eksportir Indonesia akan memperoleh devisa dari hasil ekspornya, sebaliknya importir Indonesia memerlukan devisa untuk mengimpor dari luar negeri.
Dengan demikian akan timbul penawaran dan perminataan di bursa valuta asing. setiap negara berwenang penuh menetapkan kurs uangnya masing-masing (kurs adalah perbandingan nilai uangnya terhadap mata uang asing) misalnya 1 dolar Amerika = Rp. 12.000. Namun kurs uang atau perbandingan nilai tukar setiap saat bisa berubah-ubah, tergantung pada kekuatan ekonomi negara masing-masing. Pencatatan kurs uang dan transaksi jual beli valuta asing diselenggarakan di Bursa Valuta Asing (A. W. J. Tupanno, et. al. Ekonomi dan Koperasi, Jakarta, Depdikbud 1982, hal 76-77)
