Introduction to Foreign Exchange Trading

Market Overview :

The Foreign Exchange is the largest financial market in the world. Unlike many markets the FX market is open 24 hours per day and has an estimated $3.2 Trillion in turnover every day. This tremendous turnover is more than the combined turnover of the main world's stock markets on any given day. This tends to lead to a very liquid market and thus a desirable market to trade.

FX is a way of trading exchange rates between two different currencies. Basically, you buy one currency and sell the other for the purpose of investment speculation. The goal is to make a profit when the value or the exchange rates of the currencies traded move in your favor.

Over 90% of all currencies are traded against the US Dollar (USD). The next most-traded currencies are the Euro (EUR), Japanese Yen (JPY), Pound Sterling (GBP) and Swiss Franc (CHF).

It is primarily traded through banks, brokers, dealers, financial institutions and private individuals.

The term INTERBANK discussed in FX terminology simply means 'between banks and large institutions' where information is exchanged about the current rate at which their clients or they could buy or sell a currency. However the term 'Interbank' today also means anybody who is prepared to buy or sell a currency.
The quoted prices for a Foreign Exchange are based on information from the top banks and large institutions.
