if you have ever traveled to a foreign
country you may have needed to exchange
your money if so you've already
participated in forex trading Forex is
the short form of foreign exchange
well Forex is a bit more than that
for example companies buy goods from
other countries in order to buy them
they need to obtain the local currency
first just like us when going on holiday
the difference is they will exchange
huge amounts when these companies
exchange these huge amounts they will
actually move the price because the
demand for the currency that they need
increases when the demand increases the
price increases with all this exchanging
going on around the world the exchange
rates constantly move this is how it
works when currencies are exchanged they
have a certain price the exchange rate
as in any market the price of a currency
is determined by the law of supply and
demand if there are many people or
companies that want to change euros into
dollars the price of the dollar will
rise against the euro and so the
exchange rate will change let's use an
everyday example to explain how you can
actually profit from this say you live
in Europe and went on holiday to the
United States let's say that you've
changed your 500 euros into US dollars
at the rate of 1 point 4 dollars for
every Europe you got 700 US dollars but
you do not spend any money at all so you
still have 700 dollars after you come
back after the exchange rate moved from
1.4 to 1.3 instead of getting just 500
euros back you actually get 538 and 1/2
euros you have gained 38 and a half he
rose simply from holding your money and
dollars while the exchange rate changed
this is essentially how we trade in the
forex market we buy a certain amount of
a currency hold on to it whilst the
exchange rate moves then change it back
making money along the way how to decide
when the right time to buy and sell is
exactly what we teach you throughout the
rest of our learning lesson
as you can imagine traveling a lot and
saving a bit of money on your holiday
budget and then exchanging it it's not
really a practical approach to trading
currencies fortunately there is an
easier way to do this you can trade
currency through online exchange offices
called brokers what this means is that
you can exchange currencies online
throughout the day and take advantage of
the constantly fluctuating exchange
rates just as in the example of when you
went on holiday you combine different
currencies and make a profit as the
exchange rates change this is trading
the forex market trading Forex online
with a broker has many benefits

anywhere that you have an internet
connection the forex market never sleeps
