Once you become somewhat familiar with how the forex market
works, and you understand to a point what is involved in trading on the Foreign Exchange Market
, you would want to start to gauge market trends in order to profit from your business ventures on the open market.
The name of the game is statistics, and the first rule is that you must be aware there is no such thing as a sure thing on the forex market. While you can never be 100% sure at any given time of the next move that will be made on the market as a whole, being able to read statistics and interpret them will place you ahead of the pack in regards to "guessing" what will happen next.
Forex trading
is a lot like gambling. If you can keep track of the cards that have already been played, you are more informed, statistically, regarding what is likely to be dealt next, meaning you can place a bet with greater insight than someone who has no clue what has already been played. With the forex market, if you have information as to what has already occurred over the past few days, months, or even years, you are again placed in a better position to more logically conclude what will happen next. You simply learn the pattern and follow it to the end, reaping the financial rewards.

A pair of currencies traded in forex that does not include the U.S. dollar.
One foreign currency is traded for another without having to first exchange the currencies into American dollars.
Historically, an individual who wished to exchange a sum of money into a different currency would be required to first convert that money into U.S dollars, and then convert it into the desired currency; cross currencies help individuals and traders bypass this step. The GBP/JPY cross.

Professional traders are not the only ones that are interested in forex trading, even commercial organizations, especially those that engages in export and import business, also participate in forex trading.

Nevertheless any investor is free to engage in forex trading, provided of course that they have the necessary knowledge on how to go about with the trading process.
Generally, foreign exchange is traded on margin. This means that the trader will only be required to deposit a small amount to control a much larger position in the forex trading market. So for instance if anyone wants to trade a million dollars, he would be required to give a ten thousand dollar security deposit. In order to achieve the one million dollars desired trade result, the ten thousand will have to be geared up a hundred times.

ForexGen Adioms
Forex Terminology:
Pip:
Every trader in the Foreign Exchange ‘FOREX’ hopes to make a profit from something called ‘PIP’. It may sound silly, but gains in pips can potentially make you over wealthy .Take your time with this information, as it is required knowledge for all Forex traders. Don’t even think about trading until you are comfortable with pip values and calculating profit and loss.
What is a pip ?
Pips stands for ‘PERCENTAGE IN PIONTS’. In the Forex trading, a ‘PIP’ is a unit of measurement which represents the smallest change in the price of currency or a currency pair. In the stock markets this is a classified as a ‘POINT’. As a result, some folks refer to pips as points. Pips are the last decimal point in an exchange rate or currency pair. For the majority of currencies a ‘PIP’ is equal to 0.0001. This means that if you purchased USD/CHF at 1.2310 and sold at 1.2330, you made 20 pips .On the other hand, there are some currency pair exceptions. FOR EXAMPLE: The USD/JPY pair has only two decimal places making a pip equal 0.01. Therefore,
USD/JPY: 110.78 .01 divided by exchange rate = pip value .01 / 110.78= 0.0090269This looks like a very long number but later we will discuss lot size.
USD/CHF: 1.1227 .0001 divided by exchange rate = pip value .0001 /1.1227 = 0.0089070
USD/CAD: 1.2780 .0001 divided by exchange rate = pip value .0001 / 1.2780 = 0.0078247
In the case where the US Dollar is not quoted first and we want to get the US Dollar value, we have to add one more step.
GBP/USD: 1.9799 .0001 divided by exchange rate = pip valueSo .0001 / 1.9799 = GBP 0.0050507
But we need to get back to US dollars so we add another calculation which is
GBP x Exchange rate
So 0.00505076 x 1.9799 =0.0099998 When rounded up it would be 0.0001
Don’t worry, you don’t have to do that, but it’s really important for you to know how the Forex brokers will work this out. For more informations
What is a lot ?
The value of a pip changes based upon the size of your account, because the size of your account affects how much currency you can leverage. A standard full size account is 100,000 units of the base currency. If you are trading in USD, The Value of the ‘LOT’ in the standard account is $100.000.A mini ‘LOT’ is 10,000 units of the base currency. If you are trading mini ‘LOTS’, you can leverage $10,000.This is why a pip in a mini account is worth less than a pip in a standard account. Let’s assume we will be using a $10,000 lot size. We will now recalculate some examples to see how it affects the pip value.
USD/JPY at an exchange rate of 110.78(.01 / 110.78) x $10,000 = $0.092 per pipUSD/CHF at an exchange rate of 1.1227(.0001 / 1.1227) x $10,000 = $0.98 per pip.to learn more please click here
In cases where the US Dollar is not quoted first, the formula is slightly different.
GBP/USD at an exchange rate of 1.9799(.0001 / 1.9799) x GBP 10,000 = 0.50 x 1.9799 = $1 per pip
How do I calculate profits and losses?
When you close out a trade, you can calculate your profits and losses using the following formula:
Price (exchange rate) when selling the base currency - price when buying the base currency X transaction size = profit or loss Assume you buy Euros (EUR/USD) at 1.2178 and sell Euros at 1.2188. If the transaction size is 100,000 Euros, you will have a $100 profit.
($1.2188 - $1.2178) X 100,000 = $.001 X 100,000 = $100
Similarly, if you sell Euros (EUR/USD) at 1.2170 and buy Euros at 1.2180, you will have a $100 loss.
($1.2170 - $1.2180) X 100,000 = - $.001 X 100,000 = - $100
You can also calculate your unrealized profits and losses on open positions. Just substitute the current bid or ask rate for the action you will take when closing out the position. For example, if you bought Euros at 1.2178 and the current bid rate is 1.2173, you have an unrealized loss of $50.
($1.2173 - $1.2178) X 100,000 = - $.0005 X 100,000 = - $50
Similarly, if you sold Euros at 1.2170 and the current ask rate is 1.2165, you have an unrealized profit of $50.
($1.2170 - $1.2165) X 100,000 = $.0005 X 100,000 = $50
If the quote currency is not in US dollars, you will have to con- vert the profit or loss to US dollars at the dealer's rate. Further, if the dealer charges commissions or other fees, you must subtract those commissions and fees from your profits and add them to your losses to determine your true profits and losses.
