Do You Want To Make Money? What Do You Know About FOREX Trading Platform?

By John Eather

What is FOREX? - Foreign Exchange Market, also known as 'FOREX' or 'FX' is the largest financial market in the world with a daily turnover of US$3. 2 trillion. FOREX trading platform allows us to buy one currency and sell another. Currencies trade in pairs, like the US Dollar / Japanese Yen (USD/JPY).

The simultaneous buying of one currency and selling of another is determined by two factors. First of all, it's about companies making transactions in foreign countries, generating approximately 5% of the daily turnover. Secondly, we're talking the speculation for profit, which represents 95%.

What are the concepts that make FOREX work? First of all, you must know that 85% of daily FOREX trading uses major currencies like British Pound, US Dollar, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. FOREX trading platform is open 24 hours a day; because of this great feature, traders can respond anytime to currency fluctuations.

FOREX market is considered an over-the-counter market, because transactions are conducted either by telephone or by electronic networks, having no central exchange.

It's not difficult at all to read and understand a foreign exchange quote. All you have to know is that the first currency listed is the base currency, while the value of the base currency is always 1. The US Dollar is the main currency for quotes, so you must appreciate foreign currencies by considering the value of USD.

FOREX trading platform works with two concepts- the BID and the ASK. The BID shows you the price at which base currency can be sold and the ASK represents the price at which base currency can be bought.

Even the most experienced brokers face a series of unexpected risks such as interest rate risks, credit risks, country risks and exchange rate risks. No one can guarantee you how exchange rates will move. Using stop-loss orders (instructions on how to stop your transactions if the price comes to a definite point) is the best thing you can do to avoid losing all your money. - 23222
