In the forex market traders are the protagonists, ie the speculators, and brokers, or intermediaries that help place their “bets”. Traders in forex market operates just as if they were betting on a currency. The basic mechanism is to buy a currency and sell another, to be able to profit from price difference.

All couples have two prices: a purchase and sales, which are constantly changing depending on market fluctuations and global economic events. The currency pairs are indicated by initials, so we will find the EUR / USD or EUR-USD, GBP / JPY-Japanese yen or British pound and then below EUR / JPY, USD / JPY, and so on … In addition to many national currencies in the forex market, commodities such as oil and other metals, like gold are also traded.
