biwake Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Forex is not a new word these days. It is quite similar to other businesses like equity market, commodity market, etc. The ultimate goal of Forex is also to make money by utilizing knowledge and skills. In fact it has roots to some old times. Now the question arises that what Forex is? It is a business of foreign currency trading through different brokerage houses which are similar to equity market brokerages. In present Era, computers and internet has made it very easy for Forex Trading. Methodology The very first but challenging job is to find a reputable and good market standing brokerage house. Then in the second step a person is required to open an account with them. The account holder is required to maintain a stipulated balance in his account. The brokerage house will execute the transactions on behalf of account holder and will credit the profits made out of transactions to the respective account. Anyhow the brokerage house will charge a small amount of commission against each completed transaction. Choice of Currencies It should be noted that currencies are traded in pairs. For example there are four main pairs used in forex trade. They are British Pound and US Dollar (GBP/USD), Euro and USD (EUR/USD), US Dollar and Japanes Yen (USD/JPY), US Dollar and Swiss Frank (USD/CHF). In any choice of currency pair the first currency works as commodity while the second one serves as money. In simple words e.g., when one selects GBP/USD, it means in a buy trade, he will buy British Pound against USD payment and at in selling, he will sell British Pound against USD. But there is nothing to worry about its complexity because all this is done through intelligent software. Art of Making Money Everyone has the understanding of making money i.e. buy at low price and sell at a higher price. It is the most ancient, common principal and applies to Forex as well. The below example will elaborate this concept in a more understandable manner: Currency Pair: GBP/USD In Buy: GBP = 1.60 USD At selling time: GBP = 1.99 USD This shows that you have made a profit of 0.39 USD per British Pound you sold. Isn’t Good? Here comes the point that when is the best time for a trade. I feel that crux of making money lies in the timings of purchase and sales both. Although there can be many analytical tools, which may be used to determine the right choice of time, but generally there are two main methods. They are Technical Analysis and Fundamental Analysis. Technical Analysis: In technical analysis as the name indicates, price charts and indices are used to predict the optimal buying : selling times. It works purely on scientific basis and one needs to learn it as a science if he wants to make profits from forex trading. Anyhow it will not take a long span of time to learn this method, but regarding cost of learning, it is suggested to use free courses, which might be searched on internet. Fundamental Analysis: Now this is the more practiced method of forex trading. It takes into account the prediction of future movement in currencies based upon the economic, political and geo political situations of the countries. But don’t forget that one should also be wise enough to use this method in order to understand the changing circumstances. For example if Japan’s finance minister announces the positive economic growth, it will mean that Japanese Yen will get strength and hence the Yen rate will rise. Same goes for other currencies. Summary Forex is a good business which can be run home based and on full time or part time bases. It can help to earn reasonable amount of money without any hassle of marketing, advertising, staffing, etc. The major advantage of forex trading is that it does not require big capital but can be started from small amount.

famouspublisher Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Currency trading is merely a shorter edition of foreign exchange; this is the system in which the of world foreign exchange are compared to one another. Simply speaking, forex forex trading is enjoying how these principles change daily, every week, per month, per month, or even yearly, by dealing forex. For example, you can buy Dollars (EUR) by spending US dollars (USD), and later, sell the Dollars if its value in the market increases. This can be done with any forex that is available for return in your country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famouspublisher Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Small-Phrase and Long-Phrase Trading ---- Forex dealing can be done at any period of time. You can prefer to business with permeating currency trading principles in simple days, enjoying rapid industry motions, and possibly generating (or losing) twice of what it has taken. Or, you can delay it out for years, expecting that the long-term industry motions will advantage the business you decided to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rizal83 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 if we only understand it without us doing the trading practices seem very simple but if we already are in a direct trade of course it's not as simple as it requires a lot of processes that we must live and takes a long time to learn profitable trading and it is not simple but it is quite difficult if we have jumped directly in real trade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebrut Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 is the theory and practice are two currency pairs such as they are related to one another so that if we only know the theory without the support of the practice will not succeed, in practice as well as in the absence of theory and practice is only just that we use will not get the results maximum, therefore when we start learning we also have to learn the theory in practice so that it will reach the target that we want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rizal83 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 is the theory and practice is something that is not separated because if we just execute any one of these conditions, our results we get are not very effective at our trade, and of course with our second run it will be easier to get a trading system well if we have the guts to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebrut Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 courage and conviction in my heart that we should really be planted, as if only half-heartedly we learn will not be able to control the actual forex trading. with the courage and conviction to myself if we run the risk of failure in forex trading will continue to try to rectify the failure and eventually will get satisfactory results.

budado Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Its all about supply and demand. For example if you have US dollars and you want yen The exchange rate will going to chance depends on demands and supply. If theirs a lot of supply of yen then the price can go up in US dollars. If theirs lot of demands in yen the price of US dollars will drop. That's why its good to make good income in forex if we are trading knowing what the supply and the demand.

chintu Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Forex trading is easy to learn but very difficult to implement because as we can see the market movements will be just changing every time and with in seconds the market will be just falling down and moving up . A trader should be very careful in taking the right decision on right time . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
