FOREX trading, the FX or Foreign Exchange Spot Market Trading, offers the most liquid marketplace in the world, and represents one of the key areas for non-US investment to occur. One can find FOREX traders on a 24 hour per day basis from Sunday to Friday; there are always investors willing to trade pairs of currency higher or lower, depending on a variety of factors.
What exactly do FOREX traders trade? FOREX requires that a trader swap of a pair of currencies--not a single currency. This might be, for example, what are classified as the "Majors" or trading US Dollars for Euros, British Pounds for Japanese Yen, or any of a variety of pairs. The currency combination, or cross, necessitates the buying of one currency and the selling of another.
In many ways, this is not for the faint hearted or inexperienced trader. Professionals often find the market very rewarding as well as challenging.
FOREX Trading is volatile; since it’s a very liquid investment, the FOREX Interbank Market trades up to $ 3 Trillion Dollars a day, and the most important FOREX market is the "spot" market, which trades and settles within two business days.
FOREX is attractive to traders for a variety of reasons:
a) Once can always find investment opportunities in the forex market—at a higher risk.
b) One can always find traders with whom to trade via online.
c) True traders/businesspeople recognize the risk, and how the risk involved drives the penchant for trading higher and higher, and the accepted tolerance for risk higher, while driving the "pain impact" lower on losses incurred. Traders jokingly refer to it as a "Traders High" and compare the physical impact to that incurred with some drugs.
d) Online offshore investment funds offer ways for traders to redistribute significant wealth; i.e. make serious money quickly; and, on smaller sums than normally targeted in equities or real estate trading.
e) Margin limits are often lower, meaning that more money can be traded above the level of funds held in reserve for trading. Some traders trade up to 100:1 on margin. his means that a USD Start of a 10K investment can leverage up to One Million Dollars in trading margin. Keep in mind that leverage is a double-edged sword, and can dramatically amplify your profits as well as your losses. Truly adventurous, highest risk traders go as high as 400:1 on up to One Million Dollars to Start.
The key to successful margin trading is keeping the margin in balance, and making sure that you stop your losses quickly. One asks, how is money actually made in FOREX?
Trading opportunities in FOREX exist because the value of currency constantly changes in position to other currencies. For example; Dollars rise and fall in relation to the value of the Euro. A trader would take a position on the Dollar increasing in value and the Euro declining in value. Even in a market where the value of a currency is declining, someone will make money and someone will lose money. Think of money as having a relative value to everyone else’s money, and that value will go up or go down in a redistribution, someone on a trade will either "make" money or "lose" money.
