Frequently asked questions

#1: Can I apply all these that I’ve learned in this post to other markets like indices, commodities, oil, metals, etc.?

Just because this is a guide for forex trading for dummies, doesn’t mean you can only apply it in the forex markets.

You could apply most of these concepts to the other markets, especially if those concepts involved technical analysis.

However, certain market micro-structure details can’t be blindly applied like the pip value, the lot size, opening and closing hours, etc. Those differ across various markets and can’t be applied to other markets like the CFD or stock markets.

#2: Hey Rayner, I’ve also seen DMA frequently. What is the difference between DMA, STP, and ECN?

Direct market access (DMA) is usually for stocks or futures.

Straight through processing (STP) and electronic communication networks (ECN) are more for forex and CFDs.

If you want to discover these different types of brokers, you can check out this blog post where I covered them in greater detail.
