4. What is FOREX?
It is an electronic network of Banks,Brokers,Institutions,and
Individual Traders.
In Forex trading when you buy, say the Great Britain Pound you
are basically buying a“share” in the Britain's economy betting
that it will do well and will even get better as time goes. Once
you sell those“shares”back to the market,hopefully you will end
up with profit.
Currency symbols always have three letters and are used as
shorthand for a currencies name.
The Forex Market is a Global Decentralized or Over-the-Counter
(OTC) market for trading currencies.
It refers to Buying and Selling Currencies at the Current or
Determined price.
For Example: EUR,USD,NZD,AUD,JPY,GBP etc.
5. History of the
Forex Market
At the end of the World War II the major currencies were pinned
against the value of gold at a confrence held at the Breeton
Woods.
The exchange rates were stabilized but later became weak as
the economies developed after the war and gold became
expensive.
In 1971,the system was eliminated and the exchange rates
started flowing freely.
In 1990's,because of the popularity of the internet banks and
small companies created online networks to produce automat-
ed quotes and allowed instantaneous trading.
Advancing technology and regulation created a new category
of brokers that enabled individuals to trade foreign exchange
for the first time.
