章節 2  Chapter 1: Understanding the Forex Market

Welcome to the exciting world of Forex trading! In this chapter, we'll start by unraveling the basics in the simplest way possible. So, let's dive right in.

What Is Forex Trading?

Forex trading, short for foreign exchange trading, is like a global marketplace for currencies. Just as you'd buy and sell items at a local market, here you trade different currencies from around the world.

Imagine you're planning a trip to Europe, and you're from the United States. You'd need euros to spend in Europe. So, you'd exchange your US dollars for euros. That's essentially what Forex trading is but on a much larger scale.

How Does Forex Trading Work?

At its core, Forex trading involves two things: buying one currency while simultaneously selling another. These two currencies together form a currency pair. For example, in the EUR/USD pair, you're trading the euro against the US dollar.

The goal is simple: you want to buy when you believe a currency will rise in value compared to another, and you sell when you think it will fall. The difference between the buying and selling prices is where you can make a profit.

Major and Minor Currency Pairs

Not all currencies are created equal in Forex. Some are more popular and widely traded, like the US dollar (USD), euro (EUR), and Japanese yen (JPY). These are known as major currency pairs.

Then, there are minor currency pairs, which don't include the USD. Examples include EUR/GBP (euro/British pound) or AUD/JPY (Australian dollar/Japanese yen).
