What is Forex

Forex stands for Foreign Exchange. It is the largest financial market with over $ 5.3 trillion traded daily, which is much larger than the stock market. 4500 banks are involved. Currencies are traded in pairs through a broker or dealer. Pairs examples are the euro and the US dollar (EUR/USD), the British pound and the Japanese Yen (GBP/YPI) … There are 6 major currency pairs: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/CHF, USD JPY, USD/CAD, and ASD/USD.

Until 1995 small investors had no access to the Forex Market. Until then it was only accessible to big networks and banks. The benefits of the Forex market are its deep liquidity, its 24 hours/day trading opportunity, and the possibility of trading from anywhere in the world.

Making a profit

Suppose that the dollar ($$$) is expected to weaken in value related to the euro (€€€). The Forex trader will use his dollars to buy euros. If the euro strengthens then the purchasing power to buy dollars has now increased. The trader can now use the euros to buy back more dollars than he started with, making a profit.

What is a pip?

A pip is a very small measure of change in a currency pair in the Forex market. If prices move from 95.00 to 95.50 there is a 50 pip move.

Forex trade sizes

1. Micro lot 1000 unit trade $ 0,10 per pip
2. Mini lot 10,000 unit trade $ 1 per pip
3. Standard lot 100,000 unit trade $ 10 per pip
 
If you invested $ 1000 in the Stock Market bought 10 shares and the market moved 1 point

Profit = $ 10

If you had invested that $ 1000 in the Forex Market and the market moved 1 point/100 pips

Profit = $ 1000 a 100% return

 

When you enter a trade by buying you have to exit by selling. When you enter a trade by selling you have to exit by buying.

When the market is moving up we say it’s rallying. Then your trade position is long or bullish.

When the market is falling your trade position is short or bearish.

95% of all traders lose because they start without any education in the field. Thus first be educated and only then start trading.
