Forex Trading

The currency (foreign exchange) market is the largest and oldest financial market in the world. It is also called the foreign exchange market, or "FOREX" or "FX" market for short. It is the biggest and most liquid market in the world, and it is traded mainly through the 24 hour-a-day inter-bank currency market - the primary market for currencies. The forex market is a cash (or "spot") inter-bank market. By comparison, the currency futures market is only one per cent as big.

Foreign Exchange simply means the buying of one currency and selling another at the same time. In other words, the currency of one country is exchanged for those of another.

The currencies of the world are on a floating exchange rate, and are always traded in pairs – Euro/Dollar, Dollar/Yen, etc. In excess of 85 percent of all daily transactions involve trading of the major currencies - Australian Dollar, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Japanese Yen, Swiss Franc, and the U.S. Dollar.

Unlike the futures and stock markets, trading of currencies is not centralized on an exchange. Forex literally follows the sun around the world. Trading moves from major banking centers of the U.S. to Australia and New Zealand, to the Far East, to Europe and finally back to the U.S.

In the past, the forex inter-bank market was not available to small speculators due to the large minimum transaction sizes and often-stringent financial requirements.

Banks, major currency dealers and the occasional huge speculator used to be the principal dealers. Only they were able to take advantage of the currency market's fantastic liquidity and strong trending nature of many of the world's primary currency exchange rates.

Today, foreign exchange market maker brokers such as FX Solutions are able to break down the larger sized inter-bank units, and offer small traders the opportunity to buy or sell any number of these smaller units (lots).

These brokers give virtually any size trader, including individual speculators or smaller companies, the option to trade the same rates and price movements as the large players who once dominated the market.

Market makers quote buying and selling rates for currencies, and they profit on the difference between their buying and selling rates.

Testimonials about "Forex Mentor" Training

Subject: Thank you!

Rosalind,

Just a note to say 'thanks' for directing me to Peter Bain's forex course. I bought his DVD course in Feb., and I was so impressed with it that I attended one of his seminars a few weeks later.

After only two trades, I paid for both courses.

Peter's coaching is top notch. He truly over-delivers on everything, and his trading system is highly credible. The daily market review he puts out for free is like icing on the cake.

Forex trading is not for everyone, but don't be afraid to promote his product. Thank you very much!

A few months later, David got in touch again to say...

You may recall that I sent you a testimonial about my success with Peter Bain's course back in April. Well, it's only getting better. Just this week I've made nine out of ten successful trades, and Peter's overdelivery in the AM review is truly one-of-a-kind. There are not many people who would do what he does for such a bargain price.

05 has been my year that I decided to invest heavily in education. So far, it's paid off tenfold + for me. I went to one of Peter's seminars here in Dallas right after I bought the course, which has greatly augmented my learning.
