Make Online Money By Forex Trading

Like any other market, for example: stock market where people trade shares that is buy and sell shares depending what they want. Similarly, people use to trade currencies pair in foreign exchange market and is known as Forex trading.

Yes, in Forex market never a single currency is traded. Always the trade happens in the form of currencies pair. Simultaneously, buying and selling is done of currencies. One is buying and the other is selling.

For example:- If we talk about EUR vs USD that is EUR/USD it means we are buying Euro and selling US Dollars.We have to pay the value of per Euro in US Dollars. Say, if 1 Euro equals to 1.23 dollars (1EUR=1.23USD) then, for 100Euros we have to pay 100*1.23 Dollars.

As when we talk about FX, we always refer some or the other currency pair. In each Currency pair one is the Base currency and the other is the Quote Currency. The currency that we are buying is termed as base currency and the currency that we are selling is termed as Quote currency. For Example: in above example EUR/USD EUR is the base currency and USD is the Quote Currency.

When buying, the exchange rate tells you how much you have to pay in units of the quote currency to buy one unit of the base currency. In the example above, you have to pay 1.23 U.S. dollars to buy 1 Euro.

When selling, the exchange rate tells you how many units of the quote currency you get for selling one unit of the base currency. In the example above, you will receive 1.23 US dollars when you sell 1 Euro.

Now, the question arises how you can do Forex Trading? Then, the answer to it is very simple. Like in stock market we have number of brokers and banks that helps to trade similarly in Forex market also we have Forex brokers and number of banks that helps to do forex trading.

There are different brokerage companies that enables you buying and selling of currencies through Internet or some simple software's. For every trade you have to pay a small commission to the brokerage company that you are trading with.

You need to sign up an account with your brokerage company and then fund your account. Now you can use this amount to trade in Forex market. Whatever you earn the profit is automatically transferred to your account. And if lose something then that is also debited from your account automatically.

Anytime you can withdraw your money that you have earned. If you have traded earlier in any market then, to make money becomes much easier for you in Forex market as you have an idea how the market works.

Play very safe in Forex market as you make money very easily in it, also you loose it very easily if you are new to it. High leverage margin makes it very risky though it helps the traders to trade large amount with respect to very less fund they have in their account. When you less fund and you trade more then in case you loose your money then it takes away everything from you.

You make money in Forex by buying low and selling high or selling high and buying low. This is the base of Forex. For example:- If you buy AUD against USD when each AUD is equal to $1.0204USD and then sell it when it is $1.5020USD, you have made a profit. You did buying at lower rate and sold it at higher rate and there is your profit margin.

Big Question when you trade in Forex is finding the best time for buying and selling the currencies. This is key to your money making, profit. This is the most important question to make you a successful trader.

There are two methods through which to some extent you can predict the optimum time to buy and sell in Forex. These are:
  • Technical Analysis and
  • Fundamental analysis.
Technical Analysis deals with reading and understanding the price charts and trends of previous years. There are number of charts to make analysis of previous years. All of them you can get easily online. But you can't make any assure output by analysis of these charts. Anything is not certain in Forex market.

Fundamental Analysis is basically for long term usage but good traders can predict the changes happening in the market after the release of some important news about political or economical condition of an important country. For example if the news says that economic condition of US has improved by 2% then this indicates that US Dollar will become stronger and traders start buying it.

So, the value of USD will go higher as the demand increases as more people will be interested in buying it. If you know the effect of particular news on the market then you can easily make money in this market.

Best thing about Forex is that it is an online home based business. In this you doesn't need any recruiting, referring or advertising. You directly work on Internet alone with no Boss. If learn it properly then, you can make a lot of money online through it easily just from home.

What is Forex Tading

What is Forex Trading? What does Forex means? Forex means Foreign Exchange. Trading Currencies in foreign exchange market is known as Forex Trading. It is one of the most traded financial market in the  world. Most of us are familiar with Stock Market. What it is, what is BSE, NSE etc. etc. But very few of us know what forex trading is.

Like stock market deals with buying and selling of stocks, this forex market deals with buying and selling of currency pairs. By currency pair I, mean to say that you buy or sell or exchange some currency with respect to another. For example Euro versus Dollar and it is represented as EUR/USD. Like stock market is a very good place to invest your money similarly Forex Trading is. The best thing about this market is that it is true 24hour market. It opens on Sunday 10:00 GMT to Friday 10:00 PM GMT. It works for 24 hrs, 5days in a week.

Forex trading is not centralized on an exchange, as stock or future markets. It trades over the counter and is termed as Over The Counter (OTC). By over the counter, I mean to say that every trade either happens on a telephone or through internet. Means each trade happens through some or the other electronic network. In this type of market great risk is involved. There is no one who guarantees your money. But still it is the most traded financial market. Approximately 4trillion $ are daily traded in this market. Through this figure you can have an idea how big it is.

Foreign Exchange is the simultaneously buying of one currency and selling of another. The currencies are always on a floating exchange rate and are always traded in pair like Dollar/Yen, AUD/JPY, EUR/USD etc. Earlier Forex market was dominated by by banks, including central banks, commercial banks, and investment banks.

But as the time passed the percentage of other market participants increased and now it includes global money managers, registered dealers, large multinational corporations, international money brokers, futures and options traders, and individual investors.

Like in equity market the usual margin allowed is 50%, which means the investor has the double the buying power but in forex market the leverage ranges from 1% to 2%. It provides its investors high leverage value needed to trade actively.

This high leverage margin increases the risk associated with Forex trading. Leverage allows you to use OPM (Other Peoples Money) then a high leverage places you in a riskier position. Higher the leverage margin, higher the risk.

There is almost 15 main currencies in which forex trading is done. 10 most traded currencies are: US Dollar(USD) , Euro (EUR), Japanese Yen (JPY), British Pound (GBP), Swiss Franc (CHF), Australian Dollar (AUD), Canadian Dollar (CAD), Swedish Krone (SEK), Hong Kong Dollar (HKD), New Zealand Dollar (NZD) Norwegian Krone (NOK). We all know very well till now that currencies are traded in pair. Most traded currencies pair include:- EUR/USD, USD/CAD, EUR/JPY, EUR/CHF, USD/CHF, EUR/GBP, GBP/USD, AUD/CAD, NZD/USD, GBP/CHF, AUD/USD, GBP/JPY, USD/JPY, CHF/JPY, EUR/CAD, AUD/JPY, EUR/AUD, AUD/NZD.

Anyone can do Forex trading easily through any Forex trading broker, through banks or directly through Internet. This has become one of the easiest way to earn online money but it does includes high risk due to high leverage value and OTC.

Like in stock market there comes number of news before hand only that can affect the market and according to it investors can invest there precious money in the stock market. But in FX market there is no such prior news. Sometimes there is global release of some news. Investors have to decide themselves what trade they want to do.

There are number of factors that affect FX rates. They could be marketplace psychology, economic conditions like Inflation levels and trends, Economic growth and health, Government budget deficits or surpluses or Internal, regional, and international political conditions.
