How important are macroeconomic events to forex trading. It seems that these events happen very rarely, are global news events worth the energy?
I'm still trying to understand cross.
Cross Deal - A foreign exchange deal entered into involving two currencies, neither of which is the base currency.
Cross Forex rate - The exchange Forex rate between any two currencies that are considered non-standard in the country where the currency pair is quoted. For example, in the US, a GBP/JPY quote would be considered a cross Forex rate, whereas in UK or Japan it would be one of the primary currency pairs Forex market traded.
any educational material recommendations?
