Leading IndicatorsThe Leading Indicators report is largely a composite of prior indicators such as new orders, jobless claims, money supply, average workweek, building permits, and stock prices. Because the report is highly predictable it is less likely to move the market dramatically.
The Federal Reserve watches leading indicators to aid decision making policy on interest rates.
Left-hand side
Taking the left hand side of a two way quote i.e. selling the quoted currency.
Leverage
The control of a large notional position through the use of a small amount of capital.
LIBOR
The London Interbank Offered Rate. The rate of interest at which banks borrow funds from other banks, in marketable size, in the London interbank market. LIBOR rates are disseminated by the British Bankers Association. Some interest rate futures contracts, including Eurodollar futures, are cash settled based on LIBOR.
Limit (Up or Down)
maximum price advance or decline from the previous day's settlement price permitted during one trading session, as fixed by the rules of an exchange.
Limit Only
The definite price stated by a customer to a broker restricting the execution of an order to buy for not more than, or to sell for not less than, the stated price.
Limit order
A Limit Order is a Customer Order to Buy or Sell a specific amount of a Currency Pair at a specific user defined price. A Limit Order does not guarantee execution; rather it guarantees only that if execution occurs, it will be at the stated Limit Price. Note that sometimes the market briefly touches a limit price, only to immediately retreat back away from the limit price level with very little if any volume traded. Under such circumstances the Limit Order may not have be executed and the limit order will remain in effect, until that time when the order can be executed or until the Customer cancels the order. A Limit Order specifies that execution should be attempted after the market reaches or goes through a set price level - the limit price. Once issued, the limit order will be held pending until the limit price is reached. Once the market hits or goes through the limit price, the order is triggered and the FXDD dealer attempts to execute the order at the Limit Price.
Limit Price
An order with restrictions on the maximum price to be paid or the minimum price to be received. As an example, if the current price of USD/YEN is 117.00/05, then a limit order to buy USD would be at a price below 102. (ie 116.50).
Line Chart
A price chart depicting a line that connects the closing prices of a market over a specific period of time.
Linear/Arithmetic Scaling
On a linear or arithmetic scale chart, the spacing between each point on the vertical axis is equal. The scale is not averaged out to give more weight to the lower prices as with Logarithmic/Percentage Scaling.
Linear Regression Channel
The Linear Regression Channel is created by drawing parallel lines above and below the Linear Regression line using two standard deviations. The bottom channel line indicates support and the top channel line indicates resistance. Prices extending outside of the channel may suggest a trend reversal.
Linear Regression Trendline
A Linear Regression Trendline is a straight line drawn through a chart of a security's prices using the least squares method, and it is used to forecast future trends.
Liquid
The condition in the market where there is ample amount of volume to buy or sell.
Liquidation
The closing of an existing position through the execution of an offsetting transaction.
Liquidity
Describes the level to which a security can be traded without significantly affecting price. A liquid security can undergo a high volume of trading without a signifcant change in price.
Liquid Market
A market in which selling and buying can be accomplished with minimal effect on price.
Liquidation Level
The account value level that initiates the liquidation of all the client's open position at the best price or exchange rate available at that moment. Liquidation occurs when the Account Value is not sufficient to maintain the current open position(s). A client can prevent liquidation by depositing additional margin into the account, or by closing out existing open position(s).
Liquidation Level Excess/Deficit
Remaining Account Value before automated liquidation is triggered. The level is equal to the Account Value - Liquidation % * Margin. If loss on open position(s) exceeds this amount, FXDirectDealer will automatically liquidate ALL open positions. The level is represented graphically as the top of the "brown" level in the FXDD Margin Monitor.
Long
The term used to describe a client who has opened a new position by buying a currency pair.
Long position
A position that appreciates in value if market prices increase. When the base currency in the pair is bought, the position is said to be long.
Loss in Excess of their Margin Deposit
There exists the opportunity for clients to lose more than the margin that they initially pledge to open and maintain a position.
Lot
A unit to measure the amount of the deal. The value of the deal always corresponds to an integer number of lots.

Well done on a nice blog Blogger. I was searching for information on forex trading and came across your post this post - not quite what I was looking for related to forex trading but very interesting all the same!
We're all getting ready for Christmas and there aren't many trading days left this year. Although I'm still trying to grapple with where the dollar's headed next year. My feeling is that it's going to be much the same as this - all over the place, but possibly on the ascendant over the year, mainly due the instability in the Eurozone.
If you do have a moment, please take a look at my new site on: Forex Trading .
A merry Christmas to you and yours! Amon

I was searching for topics on home business and I ended up on your blog. I'm usually more interested in Forex Trading Strategies. You're right on with your post.

You're right on with this.. About your post I realize that my methods aren't yet up to scratch. I really liked your blog because I was kind of thinking along the same lines but of course, in a different context. I was searching for topics on home business and I ended up on your blog. I'm usually more interested in Forex Signals Buy Sell. From any perspective it's reasonable because there is seldom a single solution in our business. Nice job!

the indexes easily.
