Forex & Trading Expert - Book
Enter the world's biggest market with over USD 2 trillion trading per day, open 24 hours daily and dwarfing the stock market in size and opportunity. Forex (FX) trading involves speculating on foreign currency exchange from different countries against each other, with traders generating profits by predicting whether currencies will rise or fall. Understanding the basics: choose currency pairs expecting value changes and place orders (example: spending USD 1,600 to purchase £1,000 today, then if sterling pounds increase to where £1,000 equals USD 2,000, you gain USD 400 profit upon closing trade). Hold currency pairs for minutes or days depending on strategy, with best money-making opportunities commonly found in "Majors"—US Dollar, Euro, British Pound, Swiss Franc, Japanese Yen, Canadian Dollar, and Australian Dollar. Although historically only available to large financial institutions and companies, forex is now accessible to individual traders worldwide.
