What is forex?
The average daily trade in the global forex and related markets is continously growing and was last reported to be over US$ 4 trillion in April 2007 by the Bank for International Settlement; it is more than three times the aggregate amount of the US equity and treasury markets combined.The forex market has no physical location and no central exchange. It operates through a global network of banks, corporations and individuals trading one currency for another. The lack of a physical exchange enables the forex market to operate on a 24-hour basis, spanning from one zone to another in all the major financial centers.
When to buy? When to sell?
The aim of being profitable in forex is buying when the value of a currency pair goes up and selling when is goes down. A currency pair goes up when the base currency�s value increases with regard to the counter currency. Inversely, a currency pair falls when the base currency�s value decreases with regard to the counter currency. For example, the EUR/USD will go up if the euro strengthens with regards to the US dollar. If, on the contrary, the US dollar strengthens, which means the euro weakens, the EUR/USD will go down. As with any financial investment, the aim is to buy an instrument at a low price and sell it at a higher price. In forex, it is also possible to sell at a high price and buy at a lower price thus making profits under all market conditions.IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
