What is FOREX trading? It is the simultaneous buying of one currency and selling of another. For example, buying Euros and selling U.S. dollars.The price at which this is done is the spot foreign currency exchange rate. If you have ever exchanged foreign currency at a bank or airport, then you are already familiar with foreign currency exchange rates. It is nothing more than the value of one currency in terms of another currency.

Speculators desire to trade FOREX for the opportunity to profit from a movement in currency exchange rates. For example, if a trader believes that the Euro will weaken relative to the U.S. dollar, then the trader can sell Euros against U.S. dollars in the FOREX market. This is referred to as being "short Euros against the dollar" which, from a trading perspective, is the same as being "long dollars against the Euro". If the Euro weakens against the dollar, then the position will profit.

You may find technical analysis to be helpful when trading forex. Basically, technical analysis is the study of historical prices for patterns that, hopefully, repeat themselves and in so doing, provide an indication of possible future price movements. The great majority of traders rely to some degree on technical analysis. Have you ever heard of Trend Lines? Double Top? Inverted Heads and Shoulders? These are all terms of technical analysis. For a complete introduction to this important methodology, please view our free on-line Technical Analysis Tutorial.
