what is forex?


Recommended Posts

Foreign exchange or Forex as common named can be simply described as the exchange of one type of a currency for another. It is known as the world's largest financial market, with approximately $5 trillion per day on trading volume and the number keeps on rising. Comparing this to the New York Stock Exchange, with a daily $50bn turnover itÒ€ℒs easy to see how the worldwide Forex market is the biggest financial market in the world. Before the Forex Market got so big the foreign exchange trading was mostly for large banks and institutional traders. Since then technology has advanced making it possible for anyone wishing to trade Forex easy as they can use various trading platforms to trade either on their pc or mobile device.

The Forex market is considered an Over the Counter market as it is run electronically, within a network of banks on a 24/7 basis. The currencies of the world are always traded in pairs and are divided in major and minor currencies with majors being the ones that are mostly traded daily and minors the currency pairs that don't contain the U.S. dollar. (Note: the dollar is the most traded currency worldwide)

An example of a currency pair exchange is: a trader who believes that the rate of the EUR/GBP will go up therefore deciding to buy (go long) the EUR against the GBP. If a trader thinks the EUR/GBP will go down then he will sell (go short) the GBP against the EUR. If your predictions turn out to be correct you will then be able to make the opposite deal meaning he will exchange this first currency back for that other and make profit from it.

Forex is a 24 hours market in 5 days and most of people choose this business as their job, both for a primary job or a part time job. I think if we wanna make forex as our primary job, we should make profit consistently first because it's a high-risk business, too risky if we decide forex as our primary job while we haven't made profit consistently.

Forex is a global decentralized financial market for trading currencies. Financial centers around the world function as anchors of trading between a wide range of different types of buyers and sellers around the clock. The Forex market determines the relative values of different currencies. Forex market has been referred to as the market closest to the ideal of perfect competition, not with standing currency intervention by central banks.

Forex trading is the most popular online business! I am sure, the Forex trading process is much unique and standard from any other profession either itÒ€ℒs online or offline. I have only one year trading experience but right now I am earning 30% monthly profit that is really quite enough. 100% deposit bonus of TradingBanks helps me to make this healthy monthly percentage.

Forex trading is a practice which skill, excitement and a strong perception of the financial markets. It involves exploring the economy in depth, identifying and grabbing opportunities and having a strong sense of control over your actions. It also involves a high element of risk. And there's no better way to do this than to start trading on a demo account.
