FOREX TRADING

 

What is forex trading?

Forex, otherwise called foreign exchange or FX exchanging, is the change of one money into another. It is quite possibly of the most effectively exchanged market the world, with a typical day to day exchanging volume of $5 trillion.

Forex trading can be seen as a network of buyers and sellers, who transfer currency between each other at an agreed price. It is the means by which individuals, companies and central banks convert one currency into another.

To simply put this, Forex trading is similar to the currency exchange you may do while traveling abroad: A forex trader buys one currency and sells another, and the exchange rate constantly fluctuates based on supply and demand.

An exchange rate is the relative price of two currencies from two different countries.

How Currencies Are Traded/Paired

The Forex Trade Currencies are assigned a three-letter code just like a stock’s ticker symbol. While there are more than 170 currencies worldwide, the U.S. dollar is one of the most top traded currency so it is better to understand its code: USD. 

The second most popular currency in the forex market is the euro, the currency accepted in 19 countries in the European Union (code: EUR).

Other major currencies, in order of popularity, are: the Japanese yen (JPY), the British pound (GBP), the Australian dollar (AUD), the Canadian dollar (CAD), the Swiss franc (CHF) and the New Zealand dollar (NZD).

All forex trading is expressed as a combination of the two currencies being exchanged. The following seven currency pairs—what are known as the majors—account for about 75% of trading in the forex market:
