Forex Trading: a Beginner's Guide

The forex market is the world's largest international currency trading market operating non-stop during
the working week. Most forex trading is done by professionals such as bankers. Generally forex trading
is done through a forex broker - but there is nothing to stop anyone trading currencies. Forex currency
trading allows buyers and sellers to buy the currency they need for their business and sellers who have
earned currency to exchange what they have for a more convenient currency. The world's largest banks
dominate forex and according to a survey in The Wall Street Journal Europe, the ten most active traders
who are engaged in forex trading account for almost 73% of trading volume.

However, a sizeable proportion of the remainder of forex trading is speculative with traders building up
an investment which they wish to liquidate at some stage for profit. While a currency may increase or
decrease in value relative to a wide range of currencies, all forex trading transactions are based upon
currency pairs. So, although the Euro may be 'strong' against a basket of currencies, traders will be
trading in just one currency pair and may simply concern themselves with the Euro/US Dollar (
EUR/USD) ratio. Changes in relative values of currencies may be gradual or triggered by specific events
such as are unfolding at the time of writing this - the toxic debt crisis.

Because the markets for currencies are global, the volumes traded every day are vast. For the large
corporate investors, the great benefits of trading on Forex are:

Enormous liquidity - over $4 trillion per day, that's $4,000,000,000. This means that there's always
someone ready to trade with you

Every one of the world's free currencies are traded - this means that you may trade the currency

you want at any time Twenty four - hour trading during the 5-day working week Operations are global
which mean that you can trade with any part of the world at any time

From the point of view of the smaller trader there's lots of benefits too, such as:

A rapidly-changing market - that's one which is always changing and offering the chance to make money
Very well developed mechanisms for controlling risk

Ability to go long or short - this means that you can make money either in rising or falling markets
Leverage trading - meaning that you can benefit from large-volume trading while having a relatively-low
capital base Lots of options for zero-commission trading

How the forex Market Works

 As forex is all about foreign exchange, all transactions are made up from a currency pair - say, for
instance, the Euro and the US Dollar. The basic tool for trading forex is the exchange rate which is
expressed as a ratio between the values of the two currencies such as EUR/USD = 1.4086. This value,
which is referred to as the 'forex rate' means that, at that particular time, one Euro would be worth
1.4086 US Dollars. This ratio is always expressed to 4 decimal places which means that you could see a
forex rate of EUR/USD = 1.4086 or EUR/USD = 1.4087 but never EUR/USD = 1.40865. The rightmost digit
of this ratio is referred to as a 'pip'. So, a change from EUR/USD = 1.4086 to EUR/USD = 1.4088 would be
referred to as a change of 2 pips. One pip, therefore is the smallest unit of trade.

With the forex rate at EUR/USD = 1.4086, an investor purchasing 1000 Euros using dollars would pay
$1,408.60. If the forex rate then changed to EUR/USD = 1.5020, the investor could sell their 1000 Euros
for $1,502.00 and bank the $93.40 as profit. If this doesn't seem to be large amount to you, you have to
put the sum into context. With a rising or falling market, the forex rate does not simply change in a
uniform way but oscillates and profits can be taken many times per day as a rate oscillates around a
trend.

When you're expecting the value EUR/USD to fall, you might trade the other way by selling Euros for
dollars and buying then back when the forex rate has changed to your advantage.

Is forex Risky?

When you trade on forex as in any form of currency trading, you're in the business of currency
speculation and it is just that - speculation. This means that there is some risk involved in forex currency
trading as in any business but you might and should, take steps to minimise this. You can always set a
limit to the downside of any trade, that means to define the maximum loss that you are prepared to
accept if the market goes against you - and it will on occasions.

best insurance against losing your shirt on the forex market is to set out to understand what you're
doing totally. Search the internet for a good forex trading tutorial and study it in detail- a bit of good
forex education can go a long way!. When there's bits you don't understand, look for a good forex
trading forum and ask lots and lots of questions. Many of the people who habitually answer your
queries on this will have a good forex trading blog and this will probably not only give you answers to
your questions but also provide lots of links to good sites. Be vigilant, however, watch out for forex
trading scams. Don't be too quick to part with your money and investigate anything very well before you
shell out any hard-earned!

Forex Trading Systems
While you may be right in being cautious about any forex trading system that's advertised, there are
some good ones around. Most of them either utilise forex charts and by means of these,

identify forex trading signals which tell the trader when to buy or sell. These signals will be made up of a
particular change in a forex rate or a trend and these will have been devised by a forex trader who has
studied long-term trends in the market so as to identify valid signals when they occur. Many of the
systems will use forex trading software which identifies such signals from data inputs which are
gathered automatically from market information sources. Some utilise automated forex trading
software which can trigger trades automatically when the signals tell it to do so. If these sound too good
to be true to you, look around for online forex trading systems which will allow you undertake some
dummy trading to test them out. by doing this you can get some forex trading training by giving them a
spin before you put real money on the table.

How Much do you Need to Start off with?

This is a bit of a 'How long is a piece of string?' question but there are ways for to be beginner to dip a
toe into the water without needing a fortune to start with. The minimum trading size for most trades on
forex is usually 100,000 units of any currency and this volume is referred to as a standard "lot".
However, there are many firms which offer the facility to purchase in dramatically-smaller lots than this
and a bit of internet searching will soon locate these. There's many adverts quoting only a couple of
hundred dollars to get going! You will often see the term acciones trading forex and this is just a general
term which covers the small guy trading forex. Small-scale trading facilities such as these are often called
as forex mini trading.

Where do You Start?

The single most obvious answer is of course - on the internet! Online forex trading gives you direct
access to the forex market and there's lots and lots of companies out there who are in business just to
deal with you online. Be vigilant, do spend the time to get some good forex trading education, again this
can be provided online and set up your dummy account to trade before you attempt to go live. If you
take care and take your time, there's no reason why you shouldn't be successful in forex trading so, have
patience and stick at it!
