Forex - Currency Trading

Forex or foreign exchange is the simultaneous exchange of the currency of one country by another.

The way it works is an investor wanting to buy or sell one currency for another in hopes of making a profit when the value of the currencies change in favor of the investor. This can happen either from market news or events happening around the world. For example, if you bought currency and the price appreciates in value, then you make a profit by closing your position. By doing this, and sell the currency back in order to lock in profits, which are actually buying the currency against the couple. In pairs currency trading, currency value against another, a rate of worth has been established. The reason is that a country's currency has value only in relation to the currency of another country.
