Forexistheknowledgeandartoftradingcurrenciesinaway togainsomeprofit.Inotherwords,Forexmarketisaplace wherepeoplebuyorsellcurrenciesexpectingprofit.Itis clear that we only buy when we expect the value of a currencywillriseandsellwhenweexpectitwillfall.Allthe effortsofaForextraderareinthiswaythatfindssome cluestopredicttheupwardordownwardmovementofa currencyprice. CurrenciesareusuallyrepresentedinpairswithUSdollaras the base. Major currency pairs belong to the major economical countries. EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, AUD/ USD,USD/CHFandUSD/CADarethemajors. 2.Profit/LossUnits(pips) Pip(orpipsinplural)standsforpointinpercent,meansone fourthdecimalinaunitofcurrency.Forexampleiftheprice (orexchangerate)ofUSD/CADgoesupfrom1.0035to1.0085 ithaschanged0.0050unitor50pips.So,ifyoubuyUSD/ CADat1.0035andsellitat1.0085youwillprofit50pips.In recentyears,onefifthdecimali.e.0.00001unit(orpipette) hasbeenusedwidelybythereferencesbutforpractical purposespipismoreconvenient. 3

It is very importantthatyouchooseyourtradinglotsizeaccordingto youraccountbalance.Usuallyinvesting3%upto5%ofthe totalbalanceinasingletradeisconsideredsafe. 4.GenerosityofBrokers(Leverage) OneoftheadvantagesofForexmarketthatmakesitvery attractive is that the brokers usually multiply your investmentamountineachtradeby50-500times.Thisis calledleverage.Forexampleifyouinvest$50inatradewith aleverageof100,actuallyyouwillentertothemarketwith $5,000. In this case your trade lot size will be $5,000/ $100,000=0.05,orifyouwanttotrade0.1lotatleverageof 150youshouldinvest(0.1x$100,000)/150=$66inthistrade. So, your required investment in each trade will be determinedbyyourlotsizeandtheleveragelevelofthe broker. Using the leverage offer of the broker depends on your choiceandtherearelotsofcontroversiesarounditbecause althoughyoucanmultiplyyourprofitifyouleverageyour investment,inthesametimethereisariskofagreatloss(if the currency goes in wrong direction).
