Forex: Loads and Loads of Dollars, or Not!

Welcome to an easy to understand review of Forex Market and its most elementary principles. This is the first part of a very basic introduction which I will complete over time. If you are interested in Forex Trading and wish to learn all about it, this place and my broker will be an ideal place to start!

Forex market: it’s all about how much you you think that currency is! Do you remember the last time you took your family on vacation to a foreign land and dreamed of sunny beaches and Pina Colada in the sunrise breeze? You got to the airport with a smile on your face and foreign currency in your pockets? You were happy, you were proud… and you had just dabbled in the forex market!

After all the Foreign exchange relates to the respective value between currencies and so if you were planning to travel to Europe you would have to purchase Euros.

The fact is that it would take quite more than a single Dollar right now to purchase a single Euro is a different story though and far from me to suggest an alternative destination! So, the Forex Market in indeed the value of a single currency against the other! For example if you were to purchase one Euro today, you would have to pay 1.58290 USD.

Since transactions are between two currencies at the time, they are also called “pairing”. The fact that it took 1.58290 USD to purchase that Euro can be translated in forex terms as: EUR/USD at 1.58290. What happens when Euros are used to purchase Dollars is just another “Pairing” only this time it is reversed. For example: USD/EUR at 0.631671.

If you were a Japanese citizen wanting to travel to Europe for example, the transaction would cost you 161.178 JPY for a single Euro. Because the dollar currency is not involved in this transaction, it is no longer referred to as a pairing, but rather a “Cross” rate or EUR/JPY at 161.178

Even the most successful Forex Traders today were beginners once. In the old days, in introduction to the Currency Exchange market required a lot of studying in order to understand the complexity of this field, but luckily, technology has made this requirement a thing of the past. Forex Market literally takes you by the hand and walks you through the various steps needed to become successful yourself.

And so, in the near future you will find yourself in a situation where you will begin to make money like the pros. In the meantime, let me whish you good fortune on your new business and don’t forget to check my broker for a lot more information about this exciting field!
