Oanda offers online currency trading at near zero cost, even for retail customers

By CONRAD TAN

HALFWAY across the world, a firm started by just two people is hoping to change the way most people view the world’s vast currency markets.

Oanda’s webpage: Its technology and the low cost of its online business model, make it possible for Oanda to offer spreads that are far below what banks can offer
New York-based Oanda Corp aims to lower the cost of trading currencies to near zero, even for retail customers who have traditionally had to pay more than large institutions, its chairman and co-founder Richard Olsen told BT on a recent trip to Singapore.

‘Currency is just a commodity. We want to really commoditise it - to bring down spreads to ultra-low levels,’ he said.

Oanda offers currency trading and risk-hedging services through its website. To non-traders, it is perhaps best known for its online currency converter tools that are used by many firms, including Singapore Airlines, on their websites.

In February, Oanda launched its Asia-Pacific business based in Singapore and appointed K Duker, a former director of Deutsche Bank’s online currency trading business in the Asia-Pacific, as managing director and head of Oanda’s business in the region.

Oanda Asia Pacific Pte Ltd is the group’s first office in Asia so far. It has about a dozen staff and is still expanding, said Oanda co-founder and chief executive Michael Stumm. Just last month, it hired Darrel Forrest as head of sales, from Royal Bank of Canada’s Singapore office, where he was director of fixed income and currencies.

Mr Stumm said that customers from Asia-Pacific are the firm’s fastest-growing customer base ‘by far’. Despite the financial crisis worldwide, ‘we see account acquisitions and new deposits at a record’, he added.

Foreign exchange markets are generally believed to be the most liquid of financial markets, since it is usually possible to find a willing buyer for major currencies at any time, without incurring much loss. Proponents say that the huge volumes transacted daily also mean that forex markets are less vulnerable to price manipulation than equity markets.

Still, forex markets have traditionally been less popular than equity markets for individuals looking to take a punt, in part because forex trading takes place off public exchanges.

But the proliferation of online trading platforms such as Oanda, Forex.com, CMC Markets and FXCM, as well as similar services offered by major banks, has made it simpler for anyone to sign up online for an account and trade.

The firms act as market makers, quoting rates for different currency pairs. They earn their revenues from the spread, or the difference between the price that a trader pays to buy a currency and the price he can sell at.

But the vast trading volumes mean that the movements in currency exchange rates are usually much smaller - though more frequent - than the price changes for stocks.

That’s one reason why firms that provide forex trading services to retail customers typically offer margin trading, which allows traders to bet many times the amount of cash, or margin, that they actually hold in their trading accounts. At Oanda, the margin requirement can be as low as 2 per cent, although it recommends that clients maintain a margin of at least 5 per cent. Some firms offer margins of just one per cent.

Margin trading is highly risky; it greatly magnifies both the gains and losses from bets - by 50 times, if the margin is 2 per cent. Losses can quickly wipe out an initial investment if a bet goes wrong.

But Mr Olsen, who has spent more than a decade studying extremely rapid price fluctuations in financial markets, suggests that the liquidity and high frequency of trades in currency markets can be turned into an enormous advantage, without the need for highly geared bets.

Since a currency trade always involves a pair of different currencies, it is possible to make a gain whether the value of a particular currency rises or falls - if you bet on the correct currency. That two-sided nature of currency trading also adds to its risk.

But with computer trading programs designed to detect and capture as much as possible of each upward or downward movement, what determines the maximum potential gain is no longer how much a particular currency strengthens against another, but the total size of all the movements - both up and down - in the relative values of a currency pair. For the most frequently traded currency pairs such as the US dollar/ euro - that total turns out to be an astonishing number.

‘The ‘coastline’ - if you try to measure how much profit opportunity there is in foreign exchange - is something of the order of 2,500 per cent a year,’ said Mr Olsen. ‘That is, if at every turning point you get it right, you’ll earn 2,500 per cent.’

That’s a theoretical maximum, but he suggests that a return of several hundred per cent in a year is actually achievable. ‘This, at a total risk that it goes in any one way, of a maximum of 30-40 per cent,’ he added.

That sort of trading is only possible with specialist software, ‘but there are today products that do this’, he said.

According to Mr Stumm, since Oanda’s beginnings in 1995, it has always been ‘primarily a technology company that happens to be in financial services’.

‘Our product, FXTrade, is where we generate all our revenue, but most of our effort and energy is spent developing technology to revolutionise the markets,’ he added.

That technology, and the low cost of its online business model, makes it possible for Oanda to offer spreads that are far below what even the big banks can offer. ‘The cost of every transaction, including all the overheads involved, is less than one US cent,’ said Mr Stumm.

That’s the source of Oanda’s confidence, despite the influx of competitors, he added. ‘For the early starters, it was easy to get into the market and to make a lot of money. But I think that as clients start to discriminate more, you ultimately will compete on price. That’s our bet.’

Buy Property in Singapore

On seeing this keyword the question arises in the mind that how one can buy property in Singapore the answer is firstly you have to appoint a property agent who is the representative of the whole process. You should be frank with him i.e. you should tell him all your needs.

Secondly, decides on the property i.e. you should decides what you need? You should not hesitate for negotiating in price and renovation because it is the long term investments don’t invest until you are fully satisfied. After deciding the property you should go for a reputed solicitor.

6 common mistakes done by the buyers

1. Investment on hearsay. On buying the property, do not rely on the facts because one should understand that the market fluctuates everyday. You have to buy that which your family need.

2. Poor location. Location of the property will depend on you. It might happen that you get blinded by the superb description by the agent.

3. Decision on what the house looks outside. It might be possible that your house is just the copy it looks in the magazines. But your decision should be based on interior too.

4. Designing over function and necessity. Depending on the need and necessity of the house one should buy the house. As it might happen that the house look grand and fashionable but the room may too small to fulfill your needs.

5. Skipping professional. To avoids unnecessary surprises and the exact condition of the whole property you have to get the help of a professional.

6. Lack of property information. These types of mistakes are done by those buyers who have no knowledge about the information technology because at this stage of time every thing is given on the internet.

A Change in Singapore Commission Structure from September For Property Agents

A Change in Singapore Commission Structure from September For Property Agents

A change in the commission structure is supposed to take place from the month of September, 2008, whereby there can be a drop-down in the percentage of commission that is paid to the property agents by the buyers and sellers. This is indeed great news for all the buyers and sellers of Singapore. They will be able to negotiate with the property agents on the commission they pay to them for the real estate service. As of now, the sellers need to pay 2 percent of the purchase price to the property agent. In case of buyers, this is only 1 percent. However, if it is a matter of private property transactions, only the seller pays 2 percent. 1 percent Buyer.

The present commission structure that is 2 percent for the seller and 1 percent for the buyer is quite low when compared to the commission structure in USA. In USA, the commission stands somewhere between 5 to 7 percent. 2 percent from buyer .This is quite higher than the Singapore fee structure. A thing that the buyers and sellers of Singapore must know is that a quality work can be got only if the right value is paid for it. Therefore, it is important that the commission should go up. Then only the property agents can get the right property that is suitable for a buyer or seller. The higher the value the better is the property!

The Competition Commission of Singapore (CCS) considers the old fee structure of the 1999 guidelines of the Institute of Estate Agents (IEA) a non-competitive one. These guidelines were issued on the basis of the Government Gazette of 1974. But with the new commission structure, the buyers and sellers will have a good edge over the property agents as they will have enough space to go for bargaining and reject the old fee practices of the property agent if the latter puts it before. But they need to understand that in the long run, they will be a looser. If the commission they pay to a property agent is good, then the latter will always have the boost to find out a home that is perfect for the clients in the hot and ever competitive Singapore real estate.

To excel in quality, it is time that the buyers and sellers come forward and cooperate with the property agents. Real estate investment is probably a lifetime investment for one. Hence, one should get the true worth of it. If the commission structure in Singapore can go as high as 5 to 7 percent as found in USA, then the quality is bound to go up. To prevent deterioration in quality, the percentage of commission must be lifted.

The situation can become tough when the general market condition in the Singapore real estate is poor. Above that, if the commission is low then the buyers and sellers are not going to get what they deserve actually. An important fact that the consumers must know is that a property agent spends about 40 per cent of the commission that they get on transport, marketing, and operational costs. Hence, to get a better service from them, they are required to be paid a good commission by the buyers and sellers.

The new guidelines that will be probably introduced by 25th September this year will provide ample space for the agents and, the buyers and sellers to negotiate among themselves. But who will have an upper hand will depend on the situation, or better to put it, on the market condition. To get a comprehensive and quality Singapore real estate service, the property agents must get the right value. If the rate of commission is good, the property agents may also feel like giving some discounts to the clients.

In this aggressive Singapore real estate market, it is expected that only those property agents will be able to survive who provide quality service to the consumers. The others will be able to eat the fruits but only for a short time. For a better living in Singapore, the buyers and sellers must join their hands today. It will then only be possible for the property agents to give their best service in the tough Singapore real estate market.

Top 10 Man - Made Island Paradises

Top 10 Man-Made Island Paradises 

Have you ever fantasized about building an island paradise? Although many people dream about creating an island, few can dredge up the money or materials to realize those inspirations except in the most unusual circumstances. But, within the past century, developers have created habitable islands where individuals can live in communities or where they can visit for entertainment and relaxation. Investors now can own a piece of man-made island paradise, all shaped from dreams and blueprints or expanded upon with reclamation efforts. Although much of the world’s attention has been drawn to the creative island-building efforts located in Dubai, such as The Palm, the list below includes man-made island paradises located in the U.S., Japan, Spain, and other areas as well as the mideast. Some islands were built specifically for tourists, while others were created only for homeowners. Some blend both community life with tourism to offer a wide variety of possibilities for all concerned. Some islands have been inhabitated for decades while others recently have invited investors to the table for projects that will be finalized within the next decade.

The list below is in no particular order. While the sites are numbered, the numbering does not indicate that we favor one site over another or that they are listed in order of value.

1 . The World: One way to add land mass to a city is to add a series of world-class islands to that city’s coastline. Dubai developer, Nakheel, has added more than 1,500 km of beach front to the Dubai coastline with various island-building projects over the past decade. These islands include The Palm, The World and Dubai Waterfront, and they’re located off the Dubai city coastline, United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the eastern Arabian Peninsula. The World is the latest complete island paradise, with the last stone on the breakwater added on 10 January this year. Investors and developers can choose among 300 islands in the shape of the continents to create estate islands and residential and resort communities. All 300 islands are accessible only by marine or air transport, with world-class marinas to berth boats, yachts and cruise liners. Two mainland marinas will service The World, and 4 hub islands in The World will service the islands. Nakheel integrates a series of waterways, canals and lakes to enhance the overall design. Investors have the freedom to create their own personal vision on the islands for private or commercial use, whether it is for leisure, residential or tourist developments. The 300 islands will be offered for sale on a freehold basis to selected investors only. If The World doesn’t suit your taste, perhaps the next Nakheel project, The Universe, will be more your cup of tea.

2 . Tokyo Disney Resort: Tokyo Disney Resort may or may not be the ideal paradise destination for adults, but adults with kids in tow might prefer this Japanese Disney destination over California’s Disneyland or the Magic Kingdom in Florida. Tokyo Disney Resort was the first Disney park to be built outside the U.S., and it will celebrate its 25th anniversary during 2008. The park was constructed by Walt Disney Imagineering in the same style as the U.S. parks. The Oriental Land Company purchased the theme license from the Walt Disney Company although it follows the Disney ideal. The island contains 115 acres, and it is located in Urayasu, Chiba, Japan, near Tokyo. The island resort contains five hotels within walking distance from seven themed areas within the park. If you don’t have children in tow when you visit Japan and you want to visit a man-made island, you can plan to fly through Chūbu Centrair International Airport, Kansai International Airport, Kobe Airport, or the new Kitakyushu Airport. All four Japanese airports are built upon artificial islands.

3 . Eden Island: Imagine living on a private island, with secluded beaches, a world-class commercial precinct, international marina capable of handling super-yachts as well as a range of activities and leisure facilities for your exclusive use. You can find this paradise on Eden Island, located in the Seychelles archipelago nation. This archipelago is located in the Indian Ocean, some 930 miles east of mainland Africa, northeast of the island of Madagascar. Situated just off the coast of the main island of Mahé, Eden Island is a 99-acre residential marina development that sports a minimum of 480 luxury freehold apartments, mansions and private villas. Homes are spacious, with large verandas and high-pitched red roofs. They feature breathtaking views over mountains, ocean, forests and nearby islands like Cerf and Ste. Anne. Unlike Tokyo Disney resort, Eden island is for property owners only and these owners qualify for residency. Only property owners within the development have exclusive use of facilities such as private beaches, parks, private moorings, clubhouse facilities and much more.

4 . Venetian Islands : You don’t need to leave the U.S. to find first-rate man-made island paradises. You can find several situated near Miami in the form of the Venetian Islands. Although this little piece of heaven isn’t for the hermit, it’s perfect for anyone who wants to own a piece of community real estate in the one- to five-million dollar range. The islands, originally built in the 1920s, are connected by the historic Venetian Causeway from the Miami mainland to Miami Beach. The islands did not exist when the Venetian Causeway was first envisioned. Beginning in 1922, the Biscayne Bay improvement Company sold lots for underwater plots with contracts specifying that the buyer would receive land on an island once it had been dredged, filled, and improved. Construction of the Venetian Islands proceeded quickly and work on the Venetian Causeway began in 1925, consisting of viaducts, fill, and drawbridges. The Venetian Causeway was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. Today, the this causeway is a popular stretch for joggers, bikers, dog walkers and sightseers.

5 . Balboa Island: In 1908, Balboa Island near Newport Beach, California, was little more than a sandbar. Then, real estate promoter William Collins received permission from the Orange County Board of Supervisors to dredge the surrounding bay. He piled more sand on that little sandbar and built Balboa Island. Collins originally sold lots on the island for as little as $25. It’s a little late to purchase a lot on Balboa Island for that price, as some bay front lots now are appraised at over three million dollars. Despite this price increase, the island has retained its early twentieth-century charm. It is home to professionals, families, retirees, students and celebrities, but Balboa Island also entertains tourists and vacationers who return year after year to enjoy the scenery and activities. Local tradition has it that Balboa Island is where the frozen chocolate banana was first marketed, and tourists and residents alike count on stores to carry bags filled with salt water taffy and Balboa Bars (a brick of vanilla ice cream on a stick dipped in chocolate and rolled in chopped peanuts). Sounds as though a visit to this man-made paradise could sate your sweet tooth!

6 . Sentosa Island: Singapore is no stranger to land reclamation, as they have constructed at least eight artifical islands over the years. The one that is most popular among tourists and residents who seek man-made island paradises is Sentosa Island. This 1,235-acre island was originally an island that has experienced man-made expansion. Complete with championship golf courses, spas, and world-class entertainment, the Sentosa HarbourFront contains over 20,000 square feet of retail space and attractions that run the gamut from adventure rides to historical exhibits amidst a retail environment. Located on the western tip of Sentosa island, Rasa Sentosa Resort is Singapore’s only beach front hotel. But, HarbourFront masterplans include a 10,000-strong residential community alongside this integrated family resort. Within the year, the Capella Singapore, developed by Millenia Hotel Pte Ltd (an associate company of local property conglomerate Pontiac Land Group), will open a six-star luxury resort that boasts 170 rooms and a number of private villas. Architectural genius Lord Norman Foster and legendary hotelier Robert Burns will see this multi-million dollar hotel project to fruition.

7 . The Pearl-Qatar: Not to be outdone by its Dubai neighbor, Qatar is building a multi-billion dollar artificial island located less than one mile off the Doha coastline. The island will create almost 20 miles of new coastline, and it will provide 985 acres fronted by more than 12 miles of pristine beaches for over 40,000 residents in more than 15,000 dwellings within 12 precincts by 2010. The Pearl-Qatar is this country’s first international real estate venture. It represents the largest real estate development in the country and the first venture here to offer freehold and residential rights to international investors. Shaped like an exotic string of pearls, the Pearl-Qatar will allow room for800 guests among its 40,000 residents to enjoy three marinas, three 5 star hotels, plus almost half a million square feet of retail, dining and entertainment space.

8 . Zoran Island: Mr Gulu Lalvani, developer of the Royal Phuket Marina in Phuket, Thailand, has his eye set on a new project - Zoran, a man-made island located off the Phuket shoreline. Lalvani told local press that Bill Gates and his 54-meter yacht.provided the inspiration for this island. Phuket lacks a marina that can handle superyachts, a significant failing in light of the increasing number of super-rich tourists such as Bill Gates coming to this area. An Australian consulting firm has been hired to survey the proposed project site, which Lalvani named after his youngest son. Plans are developing for a hotel, luxury villas and berths for superyachts. So, if you have a hankering for such a place, then keep an eye on this future project.

9 . Sovereign Bay: If you’d prefer to live in Spain, then this proposed marina development, planned by Foster and Partners, might be your idea of luxury. This man-made island paradise is located on an existing area of reclaimed land to the east of the Rock of Gibraltar. The scheme includes a comprehensive environmental strategy, which capitalizes on the regional climate, location and orientation of the buildings, including using seawater from the surrounding Mediterranean Sea to cool the buildings. The new harbour is spacious enough to accommodate a boutique cruise liner terminal as well as a full marina for yachts. According to the Web site, the sweep of the marina arm will hold retail, cafe and restaurant life, terminating in a luxury residential development on the land-side. “The residential component will include a range of apartments with private swimming pools, terraces and sea views. Two beaches on each side of the development will be regenerated, with a spa and hotel located at the land-side gateway. The harbour will be connected to a series of landscaped public squares and plazas, with naturally-lit underground parking and direct pedestrian access, which will include a variety of leisure facilities, such as swimming pools and tennis courts, in addition to a full compliment of retail and designer outlets.” With those amenities, you’d never need to leave this island paradise!

10 . Reef Island: You don’t need to wait until 2010 to invest in Reef Island. This man-made island paradise is gathering momentum as a flux of Bahraini and European investors have rushed to book up to over half the proposed housing units to date. Previously known as Lulu Island, this reclamation project is being built as a joint venture between the Bahrain government and the Bahrain-based Mouawad Group Real Estate Development Company off the coast of Al Manama, in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The development was designed by Australian-based Spowers and Pentago, and it is designed in the shape of the number nine. This freehold development project’s land reclamation is complete, and it covers an area of 6.23 million square feet. Construction has begun on approximately 1,200 condominiums, 65 villas and 49 beach fronted homes. Future plans include a 250-room five-star hotel, marina and yacht club, an aquarium, a well care center, a shopping mall, and a multi-function exhibition center.

Singapore properties require a Singapore property professional agent

Singapore is a great place for business, due to the fact that a majority of banks and commercial organizations are located here. Furthermore, Singapore is one of the richest countries of the world due to its many resources and unique beauty. When it comes to condominiums, penthouses or normal apartments, Singapore is the place where you can find them all.

Singapore’s impressive growth has caught the attention of the real investors these last years and more and more people from all over the world have started to buy Singapore properties. Every place in Singapore is used to the maximum and when it comes to architecture, Singapore can count on the best designers in the world who come here in order to design unique buildings

Most people in Singapore speak English nowadays and it won’t be a problem for you to get along with them, if you are interested in a Singapore property. Furthermore, the crime rate in Singapore is quite law and since its independence there have been no terrorist attacks. Thus, Singapore is a great place whether you want to buy and rent a house here or whether you want to live here. Your children will definitely enjoy residing in a Singapore property, being surrounded by exotic landscapes and an impressive architecture. The educational system in Singapore is well developed and one of the main reasons for which people consider buying Singapore properties are the world class facilities in Singapore.

Singapore properties represent a secure investment due to the fact that Singapore is a rich and well-developed country. Hoping you no longer have any hesitations when it comes to investing in a Singapore property, it would be useful to help you find a reliable Singapore agent. Having an agent that is capable of doing his job in an adequate and satisfying manner will help you have a pleasurable transaction when buying Singapore properties.

Choose an agent from a reputable company because professional companies provide better training for their staff and better customer support. Therefore, well-trained agents can offer you quality assistance. In real estate transactions, it is vital to have a reliable agent who has a wide knowledge when it comes to real estate laws and finances. Because selling or buying a Singapore property is a major decision, it is critical to make sure that you have an agent who has the necessary knowledge in order to handle your transaction.

Another aspect you should not ignore is to select an agent who has enough time for you. It is a proven fact that an agent can only handle only a certain number of houses and in order to do that he requires some effort and time. An agent who takes care of too many houses may not recall all the important details or he may not have enough time to foresee and to deal with the potential problems. Choose an agent who can offer you his personal attention and quality services.

Furthermore, an agent who offers cheap services is not necessarily a good agent. What is the point of hiring an agent that charges the cheapest but who can’t offer you what you are looking for? An agent who is not well prepared may get you a house at a higher price than it deserved, because he didn’t do enough research and he accepted the first offer. Experienced and responsible agents will definitely make a difference when it comes to investing in Singapore properties.

P.S: Do you want to invest in real estate properties and you wish to make sure that you make a good deal? We provide our customers reputable agents who will get them a Singapore property at a great price. Whether you wish to buy or sell Singapore properties we can guarantee that you will not regret having resorted to our company.

How To Jumpstart Your Career In Real Estate

How To Jumpstart Your Career In Real Estate

A career in real estate is ideal for a person who is looking for a job that allows him or her to interact with people on a daily basis. The real estate industry offers enormous resources and career paths for people looking to join the business. It is a wonderful career to get started with and can offer immediate success for those who have the potential, passion and skills needed in the industry.

Research has shown that a career in real estate has many perks and advantages that other careers cannot offer. These include earning an income according to your sales, flexible hours, working with independent contractors, creative freedom and the advantage of being your own boss. The amount of money a salesperson makes depends on how ambitious and determined the person is. The careers allow you to meet clients according to your own convenience. Income depends on the amount of commission you make on closed transactions and for a good sale; they can sometimes make you a millionaire overnight!

There are certain characteristics a person must possess before deciding for a career in real estate. People’s skills in the key to success in the business. Real estate agents must have good communication skills, good English and should be able to meet the demands of their clients. There are certain things a person needs to keep in mind before starting a career in real estate. You must realize that the career is an expensive one; therefore you should make provisions for yourself for at least 6 months after starting a job. This is because you will need to pay for your courses, license and training and these are usually quite expensive. Also, in the first few months, it is unlikely an agent will make a sale and even if he does, he will not receive the commission until the possession date which is usually after three or four months.

According to research, nearly 70% of successful real estate people have come from areas that are not related to the industry. These include teaching, nursing, communications, government, retail and the armed forces. Only one fourth of them had worked as sales persons. Usually a college degree is not required and some states do not even require a high school diploma. The only key to success is communication, people orientation skills and a passion for selling!
Succeeding in the real estate business means that you will have to constantly gain knowledge, learn new things and use your creativity to the limit. Also allow for long working hours when required. Organization and good etiquette can sometimes play an important role in success. So it is a good idea if you work on those along with your career. The real estate industry is currently witnessing its biggest boom and it is definitely a good career to begin with.

And if you really want to enjoy your job while making the moolahs, try doing something new every time you sell a house. Keep the enthusiasm going, the energy levels high and think of new and innovative ways to put the property forward in front of your clients. If you have the zest for life, a passion for real estate and the people’s skills, you will swing to the top in no time!
