Fixed exchange rate
A fixed exchange rate is a currency regime in which a government pegs the value of its currency to another currency – commonly the US dollar or euro – or to a basket of currencies, and commits to defending that rate through intervention and policy. The attraction is stability.
Companies may plan for cross-border transactions without the headache of currency movements, inflation tends to be anchored to the reference currency, and investor confidence can be greater as well.
The cost of this regime is the loss of flexibility: the central bank must subordinate domestic monetary policy to defending the peg, which can be painful if the economy demands a different strategy from that required by the anchor currency.
Example: Saudi Arabia has had a fixed rate of 3.75 riyals per US dollar for decades. When the Fed aggressively hikes rates, Saudi Arabia has to follow suit, even if local conditions don’t necessarily call for tighter policy. That’s the trade-off: exchange rate certainty in return for the sacrifice of autonomous monetary policy, a bargain that works well for an oil exporter with deep dollar income, but would be far more unpleasant in a different economic scenario.
Fixed income
Investments that pay a fixed rate of return, such as bonds or CDs.
Flag
A flag pattern is a chart pattern that forms after a significant and strong move in price (the flagpole) and then is followed by a period of consolidation in a tight, somewhat counter-trend zone (the flag) with a breakout to continue the original trend. The name is derived from the consolidation phase, looking like a rectangular flag on the pole.
Flags are continuation patterns that tell you the trend is going to continue, not reverse. Traders want to see the flag break out in the direction of the original move. The typical objective is determined by measuring the length of the flagpole and adding it to the breakout point.
Example: Stock jumps 15% in 3 days on strong earnings – the flagpole. Then it drifts down and sideways for a week to make the flag. Traders who recognize the pattern buy on a breakout when the price climbs up out of the consolidation. Expect the breakout to be roughly 15% above the consolidation price.
Flat
A flat position signifies that a trader has no active exposure in a market – zero net position, no directional risk. Also being called neutral or square. There are several reasons why traders go flat – collecting profits after a good run, trimming a losing position, or simply stepping aside because conditions do not favor a clear view.
One of the most popular is ahead of important events such as central bank decisions, where the risk of getting caught on the wrong side of a quick shift is greater than the possible profit of remaining in. Example: A day trader closes all open currency positions at 4:30 p.m. and goes flat overnight. You won’t incur any overnight funding fees, and you won’t be exposed to sudden price disparities when the markets reopen the next morning.
Sometimes, the best thing a trader can do is nothing. Sitting out a session flat, waiting for conditions that make more sense, is a skill in itself.
Flat Market
A flat market is a market with a lack of trend; a lack of trend means there is no significant price change, either up or down, just a price change, but nothing significant. It may seem innocuous, but when a market is flat, it can be extremely frustrating for traders, especially those who want to follow a trend-trading strategy that relies on the strength of the bid and ask to execute the trade.
In a flat market, breakouts do not work, stops are activated, and the same levels are tested over and over again without any movement. Participants also tend to reduce their volume as they wait for a clearer signal. A flat market is not as big an issue for longer-term investors – time is in their favor. But it’s sometimes better to pull back and wait for active traders seeking to take quick profits.
Example: If a currency pair moves in a 30 pip range for 3 sessions before a big central bank decision, then it qualifies for that analysis. While neither bulls nor bears are eager to make any commitments before the announcement, the bears may be even less willing.
The market is flat, not because nothing matters, but because everyone is waiting for something, and nobody wants to be on the losing end.
Flat or square position
Flat (or square) means no open position in the market – no exposure, no risk. You’re not too long and not too short. Going flat is a conscious decision for an active trader, not an “assumptive” one. It could involve hitting a winning trade, pinching a loss, or simply walking away when the market is less favorable than it could be.
Many short-term traders try to close out their trades at the end of the trading day to avoid the risk of an overnight trade they can’t monitor. Being square also describes the state between trades, which is the neutral starting point prior to a new position being built.
Example: A day trader has been holding a currency pair since the morning session, seizes an opportunity, and exits the trade before data from the USA is released, and the trader is uncertain about it. Now they’re flat; no position, no danger, sitting on the sideline.
If the data doesn’t meet markets’ expectations and their pair trades with a lot of force, it doesn’t cost them anything. Not all times, but sometimes, the best trade is no trade.
