Foreign Exchange, commonly known as FX or Forex, is the platform where one nation's currency is exchanged for another. With 2-3 trillion dollars being traded by traders and brokers all over the world foreign exchange is a huge platform of opportunities for making money.
Foreign exchange is also known as FX or Forex and is a 24/7 exchange market with no land based or centralized office or zone for trading. Forex exchange is unlike any stock or exchange market that trades freshly on day to day bases and has a central office where complete dealing is done. Also, Forex has no bull and bear dominance making the whole currency buying and selling a comfortable process.
In Forex the trading is done with currency pairs and these currency pairs are present in two group ‘Majors’ and ‘Minors’. In these pairs where the first currency acts as a commodity the second currency is the actual money. The profit in trading Forex pairs comes when you buy one pair and sell a currency against another, thus the key to profit lies in purchasing low rate currency and selling it against the high rate or well doing currency.
Some of the four famous ‘Major’ pairs are:
- Euro and USD (EUR/USD),- Japanese Yen (USD/JPY), USD- British Pound and USD (GBP/USD)- Swiss Frank (USD/CHF)
