In simple terms FOREX or foreign exchange trading is simply that, trading in foreign currency. You can trade one currency for another. For example, you can trade between the Euro and the dollar or vice versa or between any other currencies. The world is open to you. It is easy to start trading in FOREX, all you basically need is a computer, an internet connection, some basic knowledge about the market and obviously, some money. In the foreign exchange you can trade 24 hours a day, five days a week at any amount. You don’t need to have a lump sum of money to start trading, you just need to have enough to allow you to trade and turn a profit.
Some points to keep in mind when trading
If you are trading in the foreign exchange market and are doing well and want to keep your advantage then there are some points to keep in mind. Always know the market. Study it, so you know what is going on.
Always have a plan in place. Know when to get in to the market and when to step back. Always use your head and your research, never your gut or instinct.
Never invest all your money in one place. Always keep a certain percentage aside for each trade. That way if you incur a loss you wouldn’t have lost everything. Also, if you lose in a certain area then pull out and don’t invest in that again. Move on.
Always trade with the trend and never try and think you can beat the market. The market is always right and you will do well keeping that in mind.
Never try and make a profit in all your trades. Just ensure that you keep a good and positive balance between your winnings and your losses.
Lastly, you might have heard and noticed that all successful traders usually buy when they hear bad news and sell when they hear good news. So why not give it a try? After all it is working for them.
Further advantages
Another advantage of trading in FOREX is that you can enter and leave the market whenever you like. You are not bound by anything. The foreign exchange market is also the most liquid financial market there is and therefore, over three trillion dollars are traded on a daily basis.
