Forex research

Dear Babypips traders,

We have designed this thread to provide client focused research that will keep our clients up to date with developments in the FX market.

Our research material is provided in order to help our clients make more informed and hopefully more profitable trading decisions.

As a company we do not provide advice so this section should be used as a supplementary trading tool that educates and informs users of what is moving the markets rather than a trade advisor.

Some of the topics that we will cover in our regular posts are:

• The main themes and talking points in the FX market
• Which currency pairs are getting the most attention from traders and why
• Political and economic events that influence currency movements
• Economic releases round up, review and what effects they may have
• Looking back at events in the FX market to fully understand their significance
• Looking ahead to future events to get readers ready and prepared to make the best trading decisions possible
