What is Forex?

Forex is an inter-bank market that took shape in 1971 when global trade shifted from fixed exchange rates to floating ones. This is a set of transactions among forex market agents involving exchange of specified sums of money in a currency unit of any given nation for currency of another nation at an agreed rate as of any specified date. During exchange, the exchange rate of one currency to another currency is determined simply: by supply and demand – exchange to which both parties agree.

How to trade over the Internet?

FXOpen clients may place trades manually from the MetaTrader 4 terminal or use an Expert Advisor (a Robot) – an automated trading strategy which trade the Forex market 24/7 without any user intervention. Executing trades via the Internet is made easy byFXOpen. Just download and install the MetaTrader 4 software and log in to your account. To place an instant Market Order, click the New Order button in the trading terminal, enter the desired trading volume (the number of lots) in the New Order window, then click on the Sell (BID price) or Buy (ASK price). Your deal is then automatically executed by the dealing software which will calculate the margin requirement, and if there is sufficient margin funds available in the account, the deal is confirmed online within just a few seconds (instantly on ECN accounts!). The open order will then appear in your trading terminal, window Terminal, tab Trade and its floating Profit/Loss will be updated automatically according to the current market conditions.

How much profit can actually be made?

Naturally results can and do vary among individuals and no guarantees can be made as to profitability. Some markets for instance the Japanese Yen have been known to move 400 pips in one day. If you calculate that 1 pip is equal to approximately $7.8 per lot and you entered the market favouring that move, even if you only got in halfway through that move, you would have made quite a substantial profit. But, and this is a big “but”- you need to be aware that the risks of Forex trading can be substantial, that results do vary from person to person, and that the knowledge and experience that each one has is different.
