Lesson 1: Quick Introduction

The secret to being successful from a trading perspective is to have an indefinite and tireless thirst for information and knowledge.

Forex trading, the abbreviation for “Foreign Exchange Market”, occurs when one currency is exchanged for another one. Think about when you have to take a trip from Europe to America; of course, you will have to change your money from Euros to Dollars, and at that moment, you also become part of the world Forex market, a market considered the largest in the world. When we read EUR / USD, at that moment, we are trying to figure out in the future how many dollars will be worth 1 €. The beauty of Forex? The market is open 24h / 24h five days a week. All you need is a computer or phone and an internet connection to join it. Now that you understand what Forex is about, it is essential to understand who participates in this “famous game”. • BanksThey are the most prominent players. They make up 50% of all the transactions. Those are called interbank transactions, consisting of bank and financial institution transactions. • Investment FundsInvestment funds are the second biggest bettors as they have large amounts of money available. They take care of collecting their customers’ savings and managing them intelligently. • CompaniesCompanies play another fundamental role; think of a company that produces cars in one country, is based in another country and ultimately sells those cars in a third country. How many exchanges have been made Central BanksCentral banks are also significant; think of the ECB or the Federal Reserve to imagine the magnitude of their business volumes. Small Traders and InvestorsThis category includes all of us who trade from their private studios or their simple homes. No matter how much money you have in your trading account, as you can imagine, our influence in the Forex market is not overly significant.
