Forex Trade

By Bart Icles

The trading of the different currencies in the world is termed as forex trade, and it involves the trading of paired currencies. This type of market is what is known as Forex, FX or Foreign Exchange. An example is the currency pair of the dollar and the euro. When a trader is actively trading the market, he will see the current currency pair he is involved at present on the forex quote screen. This can be seen at the top left hand corner, with the left currency being the quote currency, and the currency on the right side as the base currency.

Forex trading is usually made through a Forex broker, with the forex trader choosing the currency pair that he wants to participate in accordingly. Trade orders can be done almost instantaneously with just a few clicks of the mouse to the designated broker, who then passes the order along to the Interbank Market partner to fill the position. When the trade is closed, the broker closes the position on the Interbank Market and whatever the gains or losses are is then credited to the clients account.

Since the forex market and forex trading is not centralized and controlled by any central trading system, and happens simultaneously around the world, it virtually never closes. It operates 24 hours a day, with trade starting in Australia on a Sunday evening and ending when the market closes in New York on Friday.

Without virtually closing, and with trade transactions happening in many locations, forex traders are always provided with many price quotations for the many currency pairs being exchanged day in and day out. This gives them the chance to have a wide base of information as basis for whatever trade decisions they come up with, while also getting additional information and other relevant technical tips from various sources around the world. Forex trade is thus referred to as an Over the Counter (OTC) market due to this highly viable trading system.

One of the main advantages of forex trade is that it is highly liquid and offers traders of any type to move even very large sums of money in and out of trading with the movement having the least effect on its price. With forex trading having no restrictions for directional trading, the trader can trade any currency he surmises will decrease or increase in value and gain profit from buying or selling it.

Since forex trade involves the exchange of currencies in very high volumes, there is no fast and hard rule to follow. This is where speculation comes in, with the addition of market indicators such as the trade balances of leading economic countries and the prices of the major commodities at present. - 23222
