BMA Editorial Team A
The term Forex is a combination of two words, these words are foreign and exchange. The first syllable of each word is combined to produce the term Forex. The foreign exchange markets or Forex markets allows for the exchange of currencies from one country's currency to another country's currency. The process of trading currencies is called Forex trading, known to be one of the largest trading markets in the world, with over 3 trillion US dollars being traded in the market day by day.
Forex trading is usually done by investment houses and banks, but individuals can also take part in Forex trading. Money is made from Forex trading when a person buys a currency for a low price and then sells the currencies for a higher price when the conversion rates go up. The idea is to know which currencies will depreciate or fall in value and which currencies will appreciate or gain in value. You would generally buy a currency at a low value and sell the currency when the value is high.
Trading of currencies usually takes place on the interbank market which operates like an over the counter market. The most common combinations are from the major foreign currencies that are being largely traded, these are the US Dollar/Japanese Yen, British Pound/US Dollar, Euro/US Dollar and US Dollar/Swiss Franc. The trading process is usually done directly between two counterparts, whether it be through direct telephone contact or via worldwide electronic networks.
Trading occurs all over the world with emphasis on the following main trading centres. They are located in the cities of Sydney, London, Frankfurt, Tokyo and New York. Currencies can be traded in the Forex market at any time of the day. Trading usually takes place between any two currencies of the world. The Forex market is a very liquid but volatile trading market with currencies changing value all the time and some knowledge and experience is needed in order to achieve gains. Constant monitoring and timely decision making is important in this form of trading.
Forex trading can be used as an addition to your usual trading opportunities such as the stock market, real estate investment, mutual funds and bonds. Although Forex trading may be considered a riskier investment it can yield great results when mastered. You should become familiarized with all the situations and circumstances that may arise in the foreign exchange markets.
