Review of Forex Killer: What about them Foreign Exchange Systems?
Our 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.
When it comes to the Forex Market, there are only two systems available. A Fixed Foreign Exchange Market ad a Flexible one. The system is Flexible when the Central Bank controls the valuation of each currency against each other based on the principles of 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.
In order words for each price increase of one currency, the Central Bank must sell in order to compensate for the increase. Likewise, when a currency market price decreases, then the Bank must now buy more of that currency so that the market valuation for that currency is re-established.
To understand this better, the foreign exchange is like a pendulum with prices swinging from one side to another. The goal of the Central Bank is to ensure that the pendulum doesn’t move and if it does to buy or sell in order that all the movements come to an end.
It’s all about pennies!
Well there is lots of it involved in the Forex Market since it is the biggest financial market worldwide. If you have ever heard the expression: “He/She is rolling in it” now you know it was made as a reference to Forex traders.
Indeed we are taking about insane amounts of money here. So much so that you would need 12 zeros to the right of the number 2 to get a representation of what that market really is, and that would just be for a single day’s trade!
This means that 2,000.000.000.000 USD are traded daily. Two trillion USD or two thousand million American Dollars! Talk about the potential of a Forex Killer Trader.
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.
FX Traders (Forex traders) buy and sell to and from each other and this process is then fed into these networked computers to then be displaced on official quote screens.
