What Is Forex and Forex trading?


Forex is an acronym for "foreign exchange," and involves trading pairs of currencies, i.e.,


buying one currency and selling the other in a single transaction. For example, USD/JPY is buy US dollar/sell Japanese yen. In this case, you expect the dollar to appreciate versus the yen, the yen to depreciate against the dollar, or both. The latter situation, of course, is ideal.

What Currencies Are Traded?
The foreign exchange market is gigantic: over $1.5 trillion in daily Forex trades, with national banks such as the Bank of Japan, money center banks such as Citicorp and large pension plans and hedge funds being the major players. It's mainly the larger currencies that are involved, together with the US dollar.
While there are several currency pairs that offer good opportunities, these four are the most widely traded: Euro/US dollar (EUR/USD), US dollar/Swiss franc (USD/CHF), US Dollar/Japanese yen (USD/JPY), British pound/US dollar (GBP/USD).
