What is Forex?

Forex trading dominates the world’s financial markets. The currency market is highly volatile and dynamic, achieving daily volumes of trillions of dollars. The majority of trading is carried out by big institutional investors like national banks and major funds, but individual private investors are accounting for a larger share of the global forex market every year. The Bistcapital platform connects you directly to the markets and gives you leveraged exposure to all of the world’s leading currencies.

The Basic Principles of Currency Trading

Currency trading is like any other form of transaction. The goal is to buy a currency at a low rate and sell it at a high rate. Currency exchange rates tend to constantly rise and fall against each other due to numerous factors, such as world economics, government policies, natural factors, international trade, market sentiment, and political factors. Your ultimate goal as a Forex trader is to make profits resulting from these rate changes by speculating on upcoming market movements.

For example:

You decided to buy $250 for your next US vacation with your euros. After a week, you exchange the dollars back to euros and make a profit of $75.

How did you do it?

When you first bought the $250 a week ago, the EUR/USD exchange rate was 0.9 EUR. After you came back from your trip, the EUR/USD exchange rate was 1.2 EUR. This 0.3 gap in exchange rates is what credited you with $75. And in other words: you bought dollars at a low rate and sold them back at a higher price.

What are exchange rates?

It’s the continual fluctuations in exchange rates – and the inherent volatility of the forex market – that makes it possible to profit from currency trading. To trade effectively, you have to understand the basics of fundamental analysis and all the diverse factors that affect the relative value of currencies.

The strength of a country’s currency is a good indicator of that country’s economic health. The value of the currency will be immediately affected by government policy changes, global events or disasters, as well as economic events like employment figures and changes to the interest rate. If you can identify these factors and predict their effect on the markets, you can open profitable positions on dozens of currencies.
