How to start Forex trading?
Whether a currency is increasing or declining in value, there is always a way for you to make money in Forex
Consider a national currency as a security, like stocks, commodities or precious metals. The recipe for success is to buy it at the cheapest price and then sell at a higher price. Or the other way round – sell at a higher price and then buy cheaper. Whether a currency is increasing or declining in value, there is always a way for you to make money in Forex! Knowing the right time to buy or sell will do the trick. This is where market analytics, indicators, signals and automated trading systems come in handy.
Let's consider an example:
Currencies are traded in pairs. For example – Euro against US Dollar (EUR/USD) or British Pound against Japanese Yen (GBP/JPY). A Forex transaction involves buying one currency and selling the other currency at the same time.The exchange rate reflects the value of one currency against the another currency, For example, the quote USD/CHF 0,93160/0,93170 shows, how many Swiss Francs you need to pay to buy or sell 1 US Dollar. Currency exchange rates are always fluctuating depending on the time of the day, the country's central bank rate, government policy, market sentiment and many other reasons.
Let's assume the market forecast the Euro is going to appreciate against US Dollar (bullish trend for EUR/USD). You decide to buy Euros with USD (buy order on EUR/USD). After some time you decide to sell the Euro at a higher price (close the open EUR/USD position). Your profit is the difference between the opening and the closing prices.
