Why FOREX?
Forex. The mainstream business, the biggest market on earth today. It has a daily
turnover of more than 2.5 trillion US$ (more than 100 times greater than NASDAQ),
and it's still growing.
Affiliating in the FOREX industry is a highly attractive source of income. Your
traffic is already there, waiting to be used in the Forex arena.
Millions of traders from all over the world are trading Forex online. The participants
are banks, business organizations - large and small, and obviously many private
individuals. Everyone on earth today can immediately start trading Forex online,
from any computer, anytime, using their credit cards.
The FOREIGN EXCHANGE (FOREX, FX) market is not a "market" in the traditional sense.
In fact, it is the nearest to "perfect market" from economics perspective. There
is no centralized location for trading as there is in futures or stocks. Trading
occurs around the clock over the telephone and on computer terminals at thousands
of locations worldwide. Foreign Exchange is also the world's largest and deepest
market.
Daily market turnover has skyrocketed from approximately 5 billion USD in 1977,
to a staggering 2.5 trillion (and more) US dollars today. This is more than 100
times the daily turnover of the NASDAQ.
Most foreign exchange activity consists of the spot business between the US dollar
and the six major currencies (Japanese Yen, Euro, British Pound, Swiss Franc, Canadian
Dollar and Australian Dollar). The FOREX market is so large, and is hosting so many
participants, that no single player, governments included, can directly control
or make any significant influence over the direction of the market. That makes the
FOREX market the most exciting market in the world. Central banks, commercial banks,
international corporations, money managers, speculators, and private individuals
- all involve in FOREX trading.
Foreign exchange (FOREX) is the trading of contracts of currency pair exchange rate.
It is a NON-DELIVERY trade, which means that there is no physical transaction of
currencies, but it is rather an agreement, or "contract" (FOREX DEAL), to trade
specific volume of a pair of currencies at an agreed exchange rate. The magnitude
of such FOREX trade is that, in order to make the deal, only a proportional amount
is needed (the COLLATERAL, or the MARGIN). Thus, if the currency pair exchange rate
has changed by some percentage, the value of the MARGIN invested would accordingly
change, however - in a much higher proportion. In fact, the actual change onto the
Forex trader's investment (the MARGIN they deposited), will be the nominal change
occurred to the exchange rate, multiplied by the MARGIN ratio (the leverage).
For example: a FOREX DAY-TRADING deal has been made, for buying EUR100,000 against USD,
on an exchange rate of 1.3500. The MARGIN required for this deal (offered by the FOREX Trading Platform)
is of a ratio of around 1:100. Accordingly, the trader invests only USD100. After a few hours,
the exchange rate went up to 1.3620. This is an increase of 0.89%, quite normal for the global
Forex market. However, thanks to the MARGIN ratio, the trader's investment went up by 89% (since a
leverage of 1:100 has been used)!! Remember: that happened in less than a day!
Same could happen in the opposite direction, however - the traders cannot lose more
than their original MARGIN deposited. When the rate goes against the trader's favor,
the deal closes automatically ("Stop-Loss") when the margin does not cover anymore
the contract's decrease in value.
Note that the Forex trader may choose any direction for his deal (for example: either
to BUY-EUR or to SELL-EUR in a EUR-USD deal), and still do that with his account
base currency (the currency with which he operates his trading account). Hence,
he may still profit (in case he was right...) even when the EUR goes down.
The Forex market offers today FOREX trading not only in MAJORS (the leading world
currencies) but also in many other currency pairs (including exotic, gold and silver,
etc.).
