How to FX Trade

What is all this talk of FX or Forex Trading you've been hearing about lately? The Forex (or foreign exchange market) is basically where one currency is traded for another. It is the largest financial market in the world and includes trading between banks, currency speculators, corporations and other financial institutions. A currency trade is the buying of one currency and selling of another one at the same time. The currency combination used is called a cross (ie. the euro/US dollar, or the GB pound/Japanese yen.). Unlike the stock market, the Forex market is not conducted by a central exchange. OK enough of that. I'm sure by now your head is swimming. Don't worry. It'll get easier the more you learn.
