FOREX TRADING STATISTICS
Introduction –Information is Power when Trading Forex
Forex trading is a complicated financial game where winning or losing depends uponthree major parameters: (i) level of information, (ii) efficiency of the trading
strategy, and (iii) efficiency of the money management. This eBook aims to
strengthen the level of information of all online Forex traders.
Global currency rates fluctuate according to important fundamental changes
(macroeconomic, strategic, political, social and technological). The core of any
investment valuation is based on fundamental facts and figures. Statistics is in the
business of analyzing past price data and identifying potential price patterns. As
these price patterns were originally formed according to a particular row of
fundamental events and figures, we may argue that Fundamental Analysis and
Statistics form a unified area of researching and analyzing the behavior of globalfinancial markets.
After reading this eBook you will be able to realize that Forex currencies fluctuate by
following particular time patterns. The demand for Forex currencies tend to increase
or to decrease during particular calendar months. These months are usually end-of-
quarter months, and especially December, as the year ends. Additionally, you will be
able to identify positive and negative correlations between Forex pairs that tend to
occur during certain calendar months.
Never forget that statistics is based on past data and that means it will never be able
to forecast the upcoming price action with certainty and accuracy. If you adore
certainty probably you are in the wrong business. Whenever unexpected
fundamental changes occur, statistics will prove useless in describing / forecasting
the price action. Statistics and technical analysis should be seen as a complementary
framework to fundamental analysis, and not as an independent framework of
analyzing and forecasting the price of any financial-traded asset.
This eBook is dedicated to all those living their life outside of the ‘box’. Make money
using it, but also use it with caution and with respect to your Trading Strategy and to
your Money Management System. Apply your money management with military
discipline and balance always your capital-leverage decisions. Capital leverage is an
enemy and a friend at the same time, choose sides wisely. Never forget risk because
making money starts from not losing money.

METHODOLOGY -PRESENTING TABLES & CHARTS-
(1) Data Framework
-This research is based on daily activity of 15 liquid Forex Currencies
-This research is based on 15 years of Foreign Exchange data (2000-2014)
-Data is extracted via the trading platform MetaTrader-4 (MetaQuotes)
(2) Foreign Currency Reserves
-The figures of Foreign Currency Reserves are in accordance with IMF (2014)
-BoE is presented to hold 10.135 million USD in Foreign Currency Reserves but the
UK Central Government holds 72.092 million USD in Foreign Currency Reserves
(3) Monthly Average Returns
-The monthly average returns have been calculated by averaging the returns of each
calendar month for the past 15 years (January 2000 to December 2014)
(4) Counting the Number of Positive / Negative Return Months
-On the right of each Monthly-Return Column you will be able to find the number of
positive / negative months presented into two separate columns
-For example, EURUSD during the month June (for the past 15 years) had shown 10
times positive and 5 times negative returns, therefore the two columns show 10↑|5↓
-In each and every table the sum of Positive-Return Months and Negative-Return
Months equals always 15
-For the visualization of the number of Positive / Negative months on all charts, the
following formula is applied:
◙ {{((NNuummbbeerr oof f PPoossiittiivvee MMoonntthhss – – NNuummbbeerr oof f NNeeggaattiivvee MMoonntthhss)) / / NNuummbbeerr oof f MMoonntthhss}} / / 110000
(5) Average Daily Volumes
-The average daily volume is presented on the penultimate column of each table
-The daily volume is presented in Million USD
-The volume figures shouldn’t be considered as industry’s representatives as they are
extracted from individual Forex Brokers
-The volume figures are presented on this eBook solely as a comparison measure
between different calendar months
-The daily volume is averaged, as follows:
◙ Average Daily Volume = (Monthly Volume / Total Number of Trading Days per Month)
(6) Average Daily Volatility
-The average daily volatility is presented on the ultimate column of each table
-The average daily volatility is calculated based on daily data and then averaged for
each calendar month, as follows:
◙ Average Daily Volatility = {( Intraday High - Intraday Low ) / Intraday Low }

between €/$=0.80 and €/$=1.60. Based on historic data, there is a positive
correlation between EURUSD and GBPUSD while there is a negative correlation
between EURUSD and USDCHF.

Chapter-7: NZDUSD STATISTICSThe New Zealand Dollar against the United States Dollar –Nickname Kiwi
CENTRAL BANK RBNZ FED
FOREIGN CURRENCY RESERVES 14.088 Million USD 41.901 Million USD
◙ Preface:
The New Zealand Dollar is the official currency of New Zealand, Cook Islands,
Tokelau, Niue, and Pitcairn Islands. NZDUSD is a considerably liquid Forex pair given
the small size of the New Zealand economy. New Zealand is a major exporter of raw
materials, wood, meat, fish and dairy and therefore NZD is a commodity currency.
The New Zealand dollar offers traditionally high interest rates and that creates
demand for NZD derived from Carry Traders. NZDUSD has shown historically a
positive correlation with AUDUSD but also with EURUSD. If you compare the Monthly
Average Tables of NZDUSD, AUDUSD and EURUSD you will see significant
similarities.
◙ NZDUSD Monthly Statistics:
12/31/1999: 0.5210
12/31/2014: 0.7789
These are the monthly average returns of NZDUSD based on 15 years of daily data.

EURCHF is an important exchange rate as it incorporates two of the most valuable

US Dollar. From the other hand, the Swiss Franc is considered a ‘Safe Heaven’ for
currency investors and also a major Reserve Currency for all central banks. The
Swiss Franc was linked to the Euro until early 2015. The decision of the Swiss
National bank to unlock the Swiss Franc caused one of the most volatile days in the
Forex Market’s history.
