Review of Forex Killer! Foreign Exchange (Forex) Systems
By SavvyBusiness | June 2nd, 2008Our Review of Forex Killer of last week was centered around the basic principles of this industry. This week see the extension of this discussion to more advanced concepts such as systems as well as the completion of our current review of forex killer.
Well, they come in two flavors, FLEXIBLE or FIXED. In the Flexible Forex Rate System, the central bank is responsible for adjusting the exchange rate according to supply and demand.
When the Central Bank has to compensate for currency market fluctuations changes by buying or selling currencies, we have a Fixed Forex Market System. In this case, the Bank acts as a buffer between currencies.
So if the price of foreign currency increases, the Central Bank must sell that currency in order to avoid any price increase. Conversely, in the even that there is a decrease in the market currency value so will the Central Bank need to purchase additional currency in order to maintain a stable market price.
Just like a Pendulum swings in an ever lasting attempt to reach a status where the swinging movement stops, so that the Bank act to stop currency fluctuations until the balance is re-established.
How much is it all worth it then?
The Forex Market is the biggest financial market worldwide. When it comes to money, there isn’t anything like it out there, which makes this market a so very yummy proposition for all of you potential forex trading killers out there.
In fact there is much money involved in this market that you need a number with 13 digits to represent to value of a single day’s trade. That would be a 2 with 12 tidy zeros aligned right next to it.
For a Forex Killer Trader, that is “just” 2 trillion USD. My wife likes to repeat aloud two thousand million dollars, punctuating between each word as she hands me my lunch sandwich every day on my way to work and as for, 2,000.000.000.000 is enough to make me dizzy!
The Forex market is an over the counter market with no physical location, central exchange and or clearing houses. Indeed, all it is, is an electronic network of banks, corporations and individuals purchasing, “trading”, currencies from one another. Open 24 hours a day, it is uniquely suited to both end of the business spectrum, namely corporate institutions and independent or at home traders.
Forex Traders or FX Traders as they are also known are in the business of buying and selling currencies from each other. The results of these transactions are then fed into these networked computers in order to be displayed on official quote screens.
