INTRODUCTION TO FOREX TRADING


Introduction to the Forex market
The foreign exchange market mainly deals in the trading of global currencies. Depending on currency projections, the currencies that are traded the most are Canadian Dollar, Australian Dollar, U.S. Dollar, Pound Sterling, Swiss Franc, Euro and Yen.
There are other currencies which are also traded but are done in smaller scale. The highest traded currency is U.S. Dollar. There are certain misconceptions regarding Forex market.
Contrary to popular belief there is no central market where all the currencies are traded. The market is a combination of many contrasting markets, each of which has their own set of rules and regulations.
