Forex, also referred to as foreign exchange, FX or money trading, is a decentralized global market where all of the world's currencies trade. All the world's combined stock markets don't come close to this. But what does that mean to you personally? Just take a closer look in forex trading and you might get some exciting trading opportunities unavailable with other investments.
If you've ever traveled overseas, you've made a currency transaction. Take a trip to France and you also convert your pounds to euros. If you do this, the currency exchange rate between the two currencies--based on supply and demand determines the amount of euros you get on your pounds. And the foreign exchange rate fluctuates continuously.
A single pound on Monday could allow you to 1.19 euros. On Tuesday, 1.20 euros. This small change may not seem like a major deal. But think of it on a bigger scale. A large international company might want to cover overseas employees. Imagine what that can do to the bottom line if, such as in the case above, simply exchanging one currency for another costs you more depending on if you do it? These couple pennies add up fast. In both cases, you --as a traveler or a business proprietor--may choose to hold your money before the forex exchange rate is much more favorable.
Just like stocks, you are able to trade currency based on which you think its value is (or where it's headed). Nevertheless, the huge difference with forex is it is possible to trade up or down just as easily. If you think a money will increase in value, you can buy it. If you believe that it can decrease, you may sell it. Having a market this big, locating a buyer once you're selling and a seller when you're buying is much easier than in other markets. Perhaps you hear on the news that China is devaluing its currency to draw more foreign business into its country. The greater the Chinese money devalues against the US dollar, the higher your profits. If the Chinese currency increases in value as you've got your sell position open, then your losses increase and you also wish to escape this trade.
