EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Today, the Foreign Exchange market (referred to as the “Forex” or “FX”

market) is the largest financial market in the world, with a daily average
turnover of over US$ 5.3 trillion, making it a largest and liquid in the world.
Foreign Currency is simultaneous buying of one currency and Selling of
another. Currencies always are traded in pairs, for Ex: GBP/USD or CHF/USD
etc.
Until recently, forex trading in the currency market had been the domain of
large financial institutions, corporations, central banks, hedge funds and
extremely wealthy individuals. The emergence of the Internet has changed all
of this, and now it is possible for average investors to buy and sale currencies
easily with the click of a mouse through online broking accounts. A true 24-
hour market, Forex trading begins each day in Sydney, and moves around the
globe as the business day begins in each financial center followed below:
SYDNEY TOKYO INDIA LONDON NEW YORK

SYDNEY
Note: It is to be informed that more than 85% of International transaction

takes place in US$, hence, it plays vital role in determining/speculating
currency markets.
For example, a popular pair that is widely traded is the EUR/USD.The

EUR/USD is the European Dollar, also known as the EURO, and the USD,
which is the US Dollar. When the Euro becomes worth more money in dollars,
the pair goes up, when it becomes worth less money in dollars, the pair drops
in value.
All of this trading is done through forex brokers. A forex brokerage is an

intermediary that takes on your trade and puts it on the open market. Foreign
exchange trading is not done through any centralized market, so all forex
broker rates may not be exactly the same at the same time. Forex brokers
deal with networks of banks and the trading is carried out electronically within
fractions of a second when orders are placed.
One thing that really adds to the fun is that forex brokers offer forex leverage
to help you in your trading. Trading with leverage is basically the forex broker
allowing you to trade more on the market than what you actually have in your
account. This is an advantage for them because they collect fees based on
the size of the trades that you make. The larger the trade, the larger the fee.
Every time you make a trade with a forex broker they collect what they call the
spread, i.e. in forex trading there are two prices on a currency pair at any
given time. There is the ask price and the bid price. The spread is the
difference between those two prices.
For example: if you made a long trade, you would pay the bid price on the
pair. When you close or "sell" that trade, you would close at the asking price.
The spread is the constant difference between the bid price and the ask price.
