The Fundamentals Always Stay Strong

Foreign exchange (“Forex”) trading is a complicated business. The foreign exchange trader must take into account (amongst other things) what may be called the “fundamental” factors of a country’s economy (i.e. the qualitative factors that may have a bearing on its currency’s exchange rate). So, what are these “fundamental” factors? They include political positions and developments (such as changes to a country’s government’s economic policy) and relevant decisions made by a country’s central bank. They also include any relevant pieces of economic news affecting the country in question.

The Forex trader needs to not only be aware of this information at an early stage, but to effectively “second guess” how the money markets will react to it. It would probably be unwise for traders (even those with considerable market experience) to ignore these fundamental elements and to just base their market decisions on technical analyses.

Approximately three trillion dollars is traded each day on the foreign exchange market (on those days that it is operating), making it the world’s most liquid market. FX trading is vastly different to stock trading. (For example, in the Forex market, currencies are “paired” in that when one is bought, the other is sold, and vice versa.) As such, investors may find FX trading to be a useful means of diversifying their investment portfolios.

A number of factors make the Forex market unique (in addition to its liquidity, mentioned above). These include the fact that the market operates 24 hours a day, 6 days a week, and that traders in the market typically generate low profit margins (when compared with other markets).

The Forex market has changed quite dramatically since participation was opened up in the 1970′s; now, it is not just the banks, but a range of institutions and investors (both large and small) that routinely participate in the market. If you do choose to operate in this market, you would be well advised to enroll in a reputable course to learn the nitty gritty of the complicated world of currency trading, find out about the various different ways that this could be done and to consistently apply Forex trading strategies that work.

Let’s walk through what you need to know before you can begin trading. Don’t make the common mistake of simplifying everything, jumping in, and losing your shirt. I hate to scare you, but that’s what most traders do and then walk away with a sad face. After I walk you through this stuff, you’ll be ahead of half the traders out there.

In one sentence: The Forex market is by far the biggest financial market on the face of this planet, and trades over $4,000,000,000,000 per day – yes, per day! This market is huge in comparison to every single market, nothing even comes close to how huge Forex is.

So what the heck can you possibly trading at that kind of volume? Currency. The idea is to buy one country’s currency and then sell for another one’s currency. It’s sort of like stock trading except with money. By the way, the NYSE (New York Stock Exchange) is only trading around $25,000,000,000 a day (I told you Forex was big!).

Now there are many factors and variables that come into play, but at it’s essence you want to buy at a lower price and sell at a higher price, simple right?

A successful trader knows what I’m talking about when I say it’s all about pips, because that’s what success in Forex really comes down to. If you can make a lot of pips, hang on to them, and keep doing this over and over again every single day you will be rich without a doubt. The problem is successfully making them, and then not losing them, and finally having the ability to do this process over and over again.

I’ll be the first to honestly tell you, it’s no walk in the park. It takes real time, effort, and energy to master the art of getting, keeping, and making pips every single day. But with enough training, education, and software you can increase your chances of success.

And that’s exactly what “The Very Basics” is all about. Before you can master technical aspects of trading in the Forex market you must understand the basics of how the game works. And at the very core of this entire system, at the heart if you will, are PIPS!
