We will start off with a little bit about Forex and where it came from.
The term Forex is derived from the words 'Foreign' and 'Exchange' and quite simple means to take part in trades involving the exchange of one countries currency with another. Other terms often used to refer to Forex include 'Spot FX' or simply 'FX'.
Currency rates are forever fluctuating depending on supply and demand and economic and political influences in countries all over the world. The aim of any Forex trader is to spot which currency will next rise or fall in value against another currency. Since profit can be made from both increases and decreases in a currency it means the Forex market is extremely appealing and potentially very lucrative for anyone willing to give it a go.
Despite the principles of currency trading existing for many decades, it wasn't until 1971 when floating exchange rates began to materialize and the bretton woods agreement was abandoned, that the foreign currency exchange (Forex) market was born.
Of course when Forex first began the Internet was a distant dream and therefore trading was carried out exclusively by the cash rich worldwide organizations. However, With the advent and increasing popularity of the Internet, Forex trading online opened up the doors to millions of people who had never previously had the resources to take part.
