An Introduction To Forex Trading

Wednesday, February 14, 2007

Foreign Exchange Trading, commonly known as FOREX, is the trading of different currencies in the world. FOREX is not a new concept. Since the dawn of man, people used exchanging of currencies for transactions, but not necessarily in the form that we are currently familiar with.

When man started practicing early forms of ‘business,’ they learned how to trade using the concept of bartering. Citizens of different nations would bring valuables from their land to swap for valuables of the same value in the local land. As currency evolved into bills and coins, the concept of exchange did not die – it was simply updated.

Nowadays, currencies are not only used for purchasing material properties and services. It has evolved into an area of trade on its own. The industry of trading foreign currencies emerged – it is a transaction where you engage in exchange of one currency to another. It is not the mere exchange for the sake of consumption during travels. Trading is done with the intention of gaining some profit from the transaction.

FOREX trading is very appealing for interested business people, because you can engage in transactions 24-hours a day from Monday to Friday. There are always interested buyers and sellers to engage in transactions. If you hold on to a major currency, you can be assured of a stable price, because of the frequency of transactions available, and FOREX transactions do not have commissions. Therefore, it is a very lucrative transaction industry to go into.

And with the trading market constantly moving on a daily basis, there are always opportunities for you to engage in a profitable transaction. There is also a margin of trading that allows you a 50 to 1 ratio – meaning, that with an account of $10,000, you can trade up to $500,000, with the guarantee that you can regain in future transactions.

Conversely, some individuals foolishly believe that breast size determines whether or not one gets cancer.

Finally, another myth that is associated with this disease is that it only affects older people. This is not so. Although the chance of getting breast cancer increases with age, women as young as 18 have been diagnosed with the disease.
