Return To Currency Trading Article Archive   Forex or FX Training Courses – Start Foreign Exchange Trading By Andrew K Palmer Foreign Exchange Trading is where people are able to speculate upon changes in exchange rates between two currencies. A person can go either long or short which refers to how they speculate on the direction on the base currency in a pair. The base currency is the first one referred to in a pair so in the GBP-USD market the base currency is the GBP. Therefore if a person goes long on the GBP-USD market they are speculating on the GBP appreciating against the USD and making a profit from that appreciation. Foreign Exchange Trading is carried out on the Foreign Exchange Market which has a daily turnover in excess of 1.6 Trillion Dollars (USD). The Foreign Exchange Market is a 24 hour market which is traditionally traded by City brokers and institutions. However, as a result of recent deregulation and the increasing prevalence of the internet, it is becoming increasingly accessible for the general public with some foreign exchange training to work from home. There are many methods and techniques for trading Foreign Exchange, but most fall into one of two categories being Technical Analysis and Fundamental Analysis. Technical Analysis is trading based on analysis using technical tools which analyse the markets in various ways. These include tools such as candlestick analysis, moving averages and pivot points. Fundamental Analysis is trading based on economic analysis of the markets so trading based on the expected economic situation in a country or trading as a result of significant news announcements. The most successful traders will always be those that use a combination of both categories of trading because regardless of how much technical analysis it is possible to do, the markets still have the capacity to do completely the opposite to that which is expected as a result of significant or unexpected economic news being published. Of the many courses and software packages that are available to trade the markets, new users that are entering the Forex market should be careful to ensure that they are using a method or a software package that deals with both technical and fundamental analysis of the market. If necessary they should take proper forex trading training. They should also be careful to avoid methods of trading that are purely mechanical and require no skill at all as these methods will ultimately fail. This is because an element of skill, however basic, is always required to consider all of the factors involved, both technical and fundamental, at the time of their prospective trade and no system will ever be able to deal with both.
