The Foreign Exchange FX Market is traditionally the fastest growing
investment arena for private individuals and institutions to place funds in order to obtain growth (especially in a recession). FX trading provides an opportunity for spectacular fiscal returns
unequalled by any other market in a relatively short period of
time.
Bull Bear Capital Management (BVI) Ltd are FX currency specialists
whose main goal is to obtain the large profit potential, from
the only true global financial market. We deliver the profit opportunities
that until recently were available only to banks, large institutions
and fund managers.
A combination of recent deregulation of world currency controls
and radical advances in technology and communications, have had
a profound effect on the FX market over the last 10 years by making
it the largest traded market in the world, with an estimated $3
trillion of currency traded in any 24-hour period, literally dwarfing
any of its contemporary markets (i.e. stocks, shares and bonds).
Today the private speculator can easily follow the FX market by
means of business newspapers (i.e. Wall Street Journal, Herald
Tribune, Financial Times), which are available worldwide. In addition
there are dedicated business satellite channels (CNN, NBC, SKY)
as well as the internet.
The fundamental reason for trading currencies is the potential
to generate large profits.
Our risk management team has been derived from private Client
Broker (for the larger institutions) backgrounds.
Bull & Bear's aim is to compete directly with major banks
and the leading brokerage firms by providing a superior service
coupled with dealer related commissions based on the performance
of your funds.
Concise account valuations and customer care is seen as fundamental
to the well being and growth of the company.
Our traders look very carefully for signs which indicate the beginning
of a Bull or Bear market trend, in addition they also look for
markets which could be manipulated by large fund managers or institutions,
who may be placing larger than usual market order, not necessarily
through the usually recognised channels.
This type of trading activity historically takes place in a thin
volume market around seasonal vacations. This is where large price
fluctuations and market volatility can occur, giving rise to enormous
profit potential.
Naturally there are complex risks, that is why it is important
to deal with skilled and experienced traders like ourselves who
understand these markets and can offer a structured, effective
trading program tailored to your specific requirements. The key
aspect of the service we provide is the accuracy, depth of information
and timing of our reporting. As a company we observe the highest
standards and recognise the critical importance of keeping you
fully informed about the market, account(s) and portofolio performance.
Bull & Bear has assembled one of the most experienced teams
of traders, market analysts and account executives in Europe today.
In fact, all key personnel have been involved in foreign exxchange
trading for a minimum of 10 years, and that is worth remembering.
As a fully independent brokerage house we offer totally impartial
advice, and have obligations only to you, the client.

Daily market reports:
We forward these every morning (European time). The economic and
technical information contained in these reports represents a
viewpoint of our trader’s strategies and therefore serves
as an indication of the many possible areas of involvement.
Your designated account executive will explain and keep you informed
of all underlying market sentiment, market rumours and their effects
upon the market. The reports will also explain what has happened,
what is expected to happen and more importantly why.
Currency trading works on the principle of generating profits
from a change in the relative values of one currency against another
(price differential). Changes in value can be caused by shifts
in Governmental policy or market sentiment. Our daily lives are
affected by the fluctuations in currency values; they can have
a profound effect on the cost of living. Without realising it
people fail to recognise the importance of changing currency values
as a good opportunity to generate substantial profits.
Unlike traditional investments, currencies remain highly liquid.
Athough economic instability and uncertainty are bad for traditional
investment areas, such conditions often produce major trends in
the currency markets, which in turn can provide a staggering profit
opportunity.
To trade the spot foreign exchange markets (cash market) requires
a deposit of collateral in cash, transferred into you segregated
client account with a recognised counter party. This collateral
is known as the margin and is used to cover any potential risk
inherent with any open trading positions.
Cover requirements: a portion of the deposit is used and allocated
to each trading position, which is determined, by the trade size
and leverage.

Gearing (leverage):
This is the principle of using a small sum of money (margin) to
control a larger amount of capital. In spot FX gearing is leveraged
5 - 20 to 1, in futures gearing is from 25 - 50 to 1. The trading
of financial futures and commodities also requires a cash collateral
margin (deposit).

Stop Loss / Profit:
Potential risk and profit are pre-managed by placing an automatic
position close order at a pre-determined price in the market.
Contract notes will be issued on a per deal basis for all markets,
with a running ledger balance showing profit & loss. Please
note spot transactions have a 2-day settlement.
Bull & Bear Capital Management (BVI) Ltd is a marketmaker
in spot foreign exchange.
CGT (Computer generated trading systems): We provide state of
the art specialised trading programmes, which allow the most comprehensive
and up-to-date risk management techniques available.

Contracts:
Financial futures and commodities have fixed contract sizes, which
may be traded in single or multiple contracts, all contracts are
US dollar based. All futures contracts are traded through exchanges
in the USA, i.e. Chicago & New York. Trading is generally
limited to the open and close times of those exchanges. However,
positions can be liquidated at any time within a 24-hour period.
Limit up / Limit down: When trading is excessively volatile some
markets will close for a predetermined time period set by the
exchange.
Margin Call: On advised accounts only, additional funds will be
required to continue the position when equity reaches the 10%
level of deposited margin, otherwise all positions will be closed,
to prevent any negative equity.
It is important that the clients understand whilst trading currencies
that there is an element of risk. It is also this element of risk
that provides the possibilities for the extremely large profit
potential in trading these markets. Bull & Bear are a professional
independent brokerage house that allows you to harness the full
potential of currency trading by providing insight to highly profitable
opportunities, by maximising profit and minimising risk.
We make our clients aware that these markets should be traded
with risk capital. Our clients appreciate and understand the risk
element and benefits of FX trading and enjoy the profitable trading
techniques we employ.
Bull & Bear Capital Management offers an extremely competitive
brokerage and commission fee structure to our clients. However,
B.B.C.M. is not a discount broker. We provide the very highest
standard in service and quality personnel. Our fees are based
primarily on a performance related commission structure, which
means we are constantly analysing the markets for the most profitable
opportunities that exist.
As a company we primarily trade currencies. Trading is done mainly
on an intra day basis (positions are generally closed at the end
of day) except in times of trends (Bull/Bear market). All trading
is via Zurich, which is one of the prime offshore banking capitals
of Europe.
