Exchange Market
Wealth Building in the Forex or Foreign Exchange Market.
If you look closely at the term ‘forex’ you will
see it comprise of two abbreviated words, ‘foreign’
and ‘exchange’. It describes a market system under
which one country’s currency is exchanged in trade for
another country’s currency.
For example the $USD may be
traded for the £GBP meaning that you would buy up quantities
of US dollars with the stronger UK Sterling as at present time. You buy
in anticipation of your US dollar holding rising in value in the near
future so as to turn a profit for you when you sell your dollars. In
this scenario you are effectively trading in the foreign currency
market.
The Forex market is open to trade by private individuals through the
medium of a broker. It is the largest financial market in the world,
much larger than the stock market, and trades over $US 3 Trillion
globally on a daily basis. Except for weekends the Forex market trades
every day 24/7 due to differences in the time zones for different
countries where as one market close another opens in another country.
The major players in the Forex market starting with the top tier down
are banks, commercial companies, central banks, hedge funds, investment
management firms, retail forex brokers and non-bank foreign exchange
companies known as foreign exchange brokers.
There is no central market clearing system but rather a number of
inter-connected markets due to the nature of the over-the-counter (OTC)
transactions. The main trading centres are London, New York and Tokyo,
Hong-Kong and Singapore. Each trading currency is denoted by three
letters, for example the US dollar is denoted by USD, the British
Sterling GBP, the Japanese Yen is JPY etc. This makes for certainty as
to which currency you are dealing with.
When currencies are traded this must be done in pairs only which are
referred to as products. So, for instance if the British Pound Sterling
is being traded against the US dollar this would be expressed as
GBP/USD where the GBP is referred to as the base currency meaning it is
the stronger of the two currencies. The weaker currency is known as the
counter currency.
In order to conduct any type of legitimate trade in the foreign
currency market as an individual you must go through a foreign exchange
broker described above. For effective trading you will need to be aware
of factors affecting currency trading. These elements are outside the
scope of this article but they include economic and political factors
and market psychology. In turn these factors influence the supply and
demand for individual countries currencies.
The foreign currency market cannot therefore be influenced by
‘insider trading’ as is the case with the stock
market. The foreign currency market is therefore one of the best
barometer of the state of individual countries. An individual therefore
has as much chance as the banks for making profits (or losses) in the
Forex market. The only advantage the banks have for making money in the
foreign currency market over an individual apart from relative volumes
of cash, is access to their clients ‘order flow’ or
buying trends.
The foreign currency market can become a wealth builder for the
individual. The Forex market is growing exponentially building wealth
for the banks, governments and large institutions. There are more
opportunities now for individuals to trade and become a part of this
wealth producing force due to the explosion of the internet.
There are
many games and software simulations online that an individual has now
has access to which increases his education and skill levels in dealing
in foreign currency trading. Below I recommend a proprietary piece of
software to help you with trading in the foreign currency market.
To get started in learning about forex trading, you will need to locate
the forex trading software, education-learning system you want to use.
There are many on the market you can choose from if you wish but the
software below comes with mine and many other users recommendation. You
can see the numerous testimonials on the site prior to downloading the
software.
As you find the games, as they are called, you will enter
information about yourself, about what you are interested in learning
and then you will download software to your computer. In following the
'game', you will learn how to make profits or what it is like to lose
money in the forex market. This type of game is going to make you more
aware of what happens on a daily basis, how the markets open and close,
and how different the various countries currencies really are.
You will open an online 'account' using the gaming system. You will
then be able to read the news, find and compare markets, and you will
be able to make 'fake' trades so you can watch your money build or be
eaten away in losses.
As you learn the system, using it a few times a
week, you are going to be more prepared, more educated and you will be
ready to use the forex trades for real to make money.
Of course, you
may still need the aid of broker or a company to make your transactions
happen but you will better understand the process, what will happen,
and what calls you may want to make when you read about the news, the
markets, and the currencies in other countries.
To get started today simply scroll down to the link below in my BIO and
click on it. You will then be re-directed to our web-page where you
download our proprietary market software. This is an easy to use
software with voice-over instructions and also an e-book to get you
started. Good luck with your investing on the foreign currency market.
