Forex trade machanics



Trading currency is a process of exchanging one currency for another, so each currency trade is actually two transactions happening at the same time. One currency is bought while the other is sold. The forex market quotes prices as currency pairs to facilitate the ease of trading one currency for another. The quote of a currency pair represents the number of units of one currency that are required to buy or sell the equivalent amount of the other, based on the given exchange rate. For example, if the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Canadian dollar is $1.12, a trader may purchase 1.12 Canadian dollars for every one U.S. dollar, or she can buy one dollar for every 1.12 Canadian dollars. Your goal as a currency trader is to hold the currency you believe will gain value against the other currency quoted in the pair. It really is as simple as that.
