Thoughts on Forex
Forex as an international financial tool is a portmanteau of foreign currency and the process of changing one currency into another for commercial or tourist purpose. According to a 2019 Bank for International Settlements data, the daily trading volume for forex is inching towards the $10 trillion mark.The foreign exchange market (Forex, FX, or currency market) is a global decentralized or over-the-counter (OTC) market for the trading of currencies. This market determines foreign exchange rates for every currency. It includes all aspects of buying, selling and exchanging currencies at current or determined prices. In terms of trading volume, it is by far the largest market in the world, followed by the credit market.
The main participants in this market are the larger international banks. Financial centers around the world function as anchors of trading between a wide range of multiple types of buyers and sellers around the clock, with the exception of weekends. Since currencies are always traded in pairs, the foreign exchange market does not set a currency's absolute value but rather determines its relative value by setting the market price of one currency if paid for with another.The foreign exchange market works through financial institutions and operates on several levels. Behind the scenes, banks turn to a smaller number of financial firms known as "dealers", who are involved in large quantities of foreign exchange trading. Most foreign exchange dealers are banks, so this behind-the-scenes market is sometimes called the "interbank market" (although a few insurance companies and other kinds of financial firms are involved). Trades between foreign exchange dealers can be very large, involving hundreds of millions of dollars. Because of the sovereignty issue when involving two currencies, Forex has little (if any) supervisory entity regulating its actions.
Comprehensive information about all orders and open positions are available in the Terminal – Trade window. From there you can track the number of orders and positions, open prices, volumes, stop orders and your account state. In addition from this window, you can review the detailed history of all your trades.
FOREX TRADING
Trading in the forex market involves the simultaneous buying of one currency and the selling of another. All currency trades involve a currency pair and when taking a forex position, you simultaneously go long 1 currency and short another.
Mechanism
The base currency is the 1st currency in a currency pair, while the 2nd currency is the quote or counter currency. The exchange rate of the currency pair is the amount of quote currency needed to buy one unit of the base currency.
The most active currency pairs have the U.S. dollar as a component and are known as the majors and are USD, JPY, GBP, CHF etc
Currency pairs that do not include the U.S. dollar are known as crosses, and they often have considerably less liquid markets than the majors. Other less liquid pairs that do include the U.S. dollar consist of the minor and exotic currency pairs.
