Foreign exchange market owes its existence to the 1971 abandonment of the Breton Woods accord and the subsequent unwinding of the regime of universal fixed exchange rates. According to the 2001 triennial survey by the Bank of International Settlements (BIS), global foreign exchange turnover amounts to more than $1200 bn per day and now extended to over $2 trillion.

The Forex trading can be done short term and long term over the bases of market sentiments, technical indicators and fundamental high lows, from a price action perspective, currencies don’t spend much time mostly in tight trading ranges and tend to develop strong trends. More than 80 percent of currency trading volume is speculative in nature and, as a result, the market frequently overshoots and then corrects.

All trades that take place in the foreign exchange market involve the buying of one currency and the selling of another currency simultaneously. This is because the value of one currency is determined by its comparison to another currency. Most frequently traded pair are EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY. Each pair represents two currencies, the first currency in a pair is a ” base currency” and the second one is the “quote currency”. Example, EUR/USD means number of United States Dollars that can be purchased in 1 EURO, the pair will increase in its value if EURO tends to strengthen or US Dollar starts to weaken.
