Foreign Exchange Trading Explained in Plain English

April 19th, 2008

Many of you heard what foreign exchange trading is but not all of you knew what it is all about. You might have heard that this is another way to make good money but you don’t know the basics of this game.

Foreign exchange trading is basically buying and selling foreign money. That is to say if you’re an American, you can buy and sell Japanese, British, EU, and basically all the known currencies in the world. What are you going to use to buy these currencies? Your own currency of course!

For example, if today’s exchange rate allows you to buy 1 Euro (EUR) for only 0.64 US Dollar (USD) and you expect that the Euro will appreciate against the US dollar in the coming days, you would want to buy say 100 EUR today and pay only 64 USD for the purchase. If indeed a week after the rate is now 1 EUR to 1 USD, you would want to sell your Euros back to the dollar again. Since you now have 100 EUR and you sell that for 1 USD for 1 EUR, you just basically made 100 USD. Take your original cost of buying the Euro which is 64 USD, you just made 36 USD of profit.

That’s the backbone of currency trading or foreign exchange trading.
