Topo little on the FOREX ...

What is Forex?
The foreign exchange market, also known as Forex or "FX" or "Spot FX" or just "Spot" is the largest financial market in the world with a trading volume of over $ 4 billion a day ...! . Yeah my coconuts, visit counts is the largest global financial market in terms of overall volume. In recent years, it has even surpassed that of market interest rates. It is the most concentrated and the first for the liquidity of the most treaties, such as the euro / dollar .... It effectively amounts to more than three times the total amount of stocks and futures markets combined! Forex live, long live the Forex!What are we buying or selling on the FOREX?
The simplest answer is: money. The Forex trading is the simultaneous buying of one currency and selling another. Currencies are traded through a broker or trader, and are traded in pairs, for example the euro and the dollar (EUR / USD) or the British pound and Japanese yen (GBP / JPY).
Because you do not buy something physical, such trade can be confusing. Imagine you purchase more than one currency, but a true "hand" in a particular country. When you buy, for example, Japanese Yen, you buy a share in the Japanese economy, as the price of money is a direct reflection of what the market should be thinking about the present and future health of the economy Japanese.
In general, the exchange rate of one currency against other currencies is a reflection of the state of the economy, compared to the economies of other countries.
Unlike other financial markets like the New York Stock Exchange, the forex spot market has neither a physical location or central exchange place. The Forex market is considered an Over-the-Counter (OTC) or "interbank market", because the entire market is run electronically, within a network of banks, continuously for a period of 24 hours.
Until the late 1990s, only the "big guys" could be the game. The initial requirement was that you could begin to trade only if you had about 10 to 50 million dollars in his pocket! Arrghhh ... Forex, originally, was therefore intended to be used by bankers and large institutions - and not by us, "small".
But things have changed ... because of the rise of the Internet, online businesses trading in Forex are now able to offer trading accounts to 'small predator "like us.

.Why trade foreign currencies?
There are many advantages and benefits to be made in trading on the Forex. Here are some reasons why so many people opt for this market:

    * No fixed lot size. On futures markets, lot size or contracts are determined by the exchange. For example, when you trade money, lots à140Kg are standardized. On the Spot Forex, you determine the size of your own investment. This allows traders to participate with accounts as small as $ 250 (although we will explain later why a $ 250 account is a bad idea).
    * Low cost of trade.
      The cost of retail trade (the bid / ask spread) is typically less than 0.1 percent under normal market. Among the biggest sellers, the spread could be as low as, 07 percent. Of course, it depends on your leverage and all will be explained later.

Similarly, with $ 500, can be exchanged into $ 100,000 and so on. But beware! Ll'influence cuts both ways.
