“How To” Start Trading The Forex Market?
                   (Part 1 )
                                 http://profitforextrader.org/

Unlike other financial markets that operate at a centralized location (i.e. stock exchange), the
worldwide Forex market has no central location. It is a global electronic network of banks,
financial institutions and individual traders, all involved in the buying and selling of national
currencies. Another major feature of the Forex market is that it operates 24 hours a day,
corresponding to the opening and closing of financial centers in countries all across the world,
starting each day in Sydney, then Tokyo, London and New York. At any time, in any location,
there are buyers and sellers, making the Forex market the most liquid market in the world.
Traditionally, access to the Forex market has been made available only to banks and other
large financial institutions. With advances in technology over the years, however, the Forex
market is now available to everybody, from banks to money managers to individual traders
trading retail accounts. The time to get involved in this exciting, global market has never been
better than now. Open an account and become an active player in the largest market on the
planet.

The Forex Market is very different than trading currencies on the futures market, and a lot
easier, than trading stocks or commodities.

Whether you are aware of it or not, you already play a role in the Forex market. The simple
fact that you have money in your pocket makes you an investor in currency, particularly in the
US Dollar. By holding US Dollars, you have elected not to hold the currencies of other
nations.

Your purchases of stocks, bonds or other investments, along with money deposited
in your bank account, represent investments that rely heavily on the integrity of the value of
their denominated currency ¨the US Dollar. Due to the changing value of the US Dollar and
the resulting fluctuations in exchange rates, your investments may change in value, affecting
your overall financial status. With this in mind, it should be no surprise that many investors
have taken advantage of the fluctuation in Exchange Rates, using the volatility of the Foreign
Exchange market as a way to increase their capital.

Example: suppose you had $1000 and bought Euros when the exchange rate was 1.50 Euros
to the dollar. You would then have 1500 Euros. If the value of Euros against the US dollar
increased then you would sell (exchange) your Euros for dollars and have more dollars than
you started with.

Example:
You might see the following:
EUR/USD last trade 1.5000 means
One Euro is worth $1.50 US dollars.
The first currency (in this example, the EURO) is referred to as the base currency and the
second (/USD) as the counter or quote currency.

The FOREX plays a vital role in the world economy and there will always be a tremendous
need for the exchange of currencies. International trade increases as technology and
communication increases. As long as there is international trade, there will be a FOREX
market. The FX market has to exist so a country like Germany can sell products in the United
States and be able to receive Euros in exchange for US Dollar.

RISK WARNING:
Risks of currency trading
Margined currency trading is an extremely risky form of investment and is only suitable for
individuals and institutions capable of handling the potential losses it entails. An account with
an broker allows you to trade foreign currencies on a highly leveraged basis (up to about 400
times your account equity).The funds in an account that is trading at maximum leverage may
be completely lost if the position(s) held in the account experiences even a one percent swing
in value. Given the possibility of losing one's entire investment, speculation in the foreign
exchange market should only be conducted with risk capital funds that, if lost, will not
significantly affect the investors financial well-being.
