What is forex?

Probably many people have asked themselves: what means Forex? This word abbreviates the name of a big trading market: foreign exchange market. First of all it is important to explain what is exchanged in this market,  and why is a foreign market. The word exchange refers to the currency exchange, and as currencies come from all over the world,  this market is defined “foreign”.

To exchange currencies means to change a currency with another, why? Because you want to buy something from another country,  or you want to spend your summer holidays in a foreign country,  and there your currency is not accepted. So the basic activity of this market is exchange currencies. The protagonists of this market could be: owners of an international market that have to exchange currencies once a week or more, the second protagonist of forex is the speculator.

The speculator analyzes fluctuating stock prices and exchange rates to find the right moment to sell or buy. Becoming a speculator is not very simple, you have to learn some trade techniques and know some informations about: monetary and macroeconomic conditions of the currency’s countries that you want to deal with. These informations are very important,  because the price movements depend on these factors.

What do you need to trade? A computer and Internet connection,  and a little free time. You don’t need many free time,  because you have not to respect the financial center work time and you have not to go to this financial center. This is the most particular feature of this market! The financial centers have different work time because they are located in different time zones: Tokyo, London, New York, Zurich, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, Singapore, Paris and Sydney.
