  1. HOW TO MAKE MONEY THROUGH FOREIGN CURRENCY TRADING

  2. In Foreign Currency Trading, you either BUY or SELL Currencies. The Purpose of Foreign Currency Trading is to excahnge one currency for another in the expectation that the price will change. More Precisely, that the currency you bought will increse in value compared to the one you sold.

  3. FOR EXAMPLE TRADERS ACTION EUR USD +20,000 -23,600 You purchased 20,000 euros at the EUR/USD exchange rate of 1.1800 EUR 20,000 x 1.18 = US $23,600 When you Buy EUR 20,000 , you automatically Sell $23,600 ** One week later, you exchange your 20,000 euros back into U.S. dollar at the exchange rate of 1.2500 -20,000 +25,000 EUR 20,000 x 1.25 = US $25,000 When you Sell EUR 20,000 , you automatically Buy $ 25,000 ** 0 +1400 You earn a profit of $1400 ** An exchange rate is simply the ratio of one currency valued against another currency. Currencies are traded in pairs. Buying/Selling one currency in the pair automatically creates the opposite position(Sell/Buy) in the other currency in the pair.

  4. HOW TO READ A FOREX QUOTE Currencies are always quoted in pairs, such as EUR/USD or GBP/USD. In every foreign exchange transaction, you are simultaneously buying one currency and selling another. While buying, the exchange rate tells you how much you need to pay in units of the quote currency to buy one unit of the base currency. In adjoining example, you have to pay 1.3150 U.S. dollars to buy 1 British pound. GBP/USD = 1.3150 While selling, the exchange rate tells you how 0many units of the quote currency you get for selling one unit of the base currency. In adjoining example, you will receive 1.3150 U.S. dollars when you sell 1 British pound. Base Currency Quote Currency

  5. LONG/SHORT FIRST, YOU SHOULD DETERMINE WHETHER YOU WANT TO BUY OR SELL. If you want to buy (means buying the base currency and selling the quote currency), you want the base currency to rise in value and then you would sell it back at a higher price. If you want to sell (means selling the base currency and buying the quote currency), you want the base currency to fall in value and then you would buy it back at a lower price. In trader’s talk, this is called “going long” or taking a “long position.” Just remember: long = buy. This is called “going short” or taking a “short position”. Just remember: short = sell.

  6. BID, ASK AND SPREAD ALL FOREX QUOTES ARE QUOTED WITH TWO PRICES: THE BID AND ASK. FOR THE MOST PART, THE BID IS LOWER THAN THE ASK PRICE. Bid is a price at which market allows you to Sell the base currency in exchange for the quote currency. Ask is the price at which market allows to Buy the base currency in exchange for the quote currency. Ask is also known as offer price. The difference between a bid and ask price is popularly known as the SPREAD. On the EUR/USD quote in the picture, the bid price is 1.17415 and the ask price is 1.17455. If you want to sell EUR, you click “Bid” and you will sell euros at 1.17415. If you want to buy EUR, you click “Ask” and you will buy euros at 1.17455.
