1. Common knowledge about the trading on Forex
1.1. Foreign exchange as a part of the world financial market
Forex – What is it? The international currency market Forex is a special kind of the world financial
market. Trader’s purpose on the Forex to get profit as the result of foreign currencies purchase and sale. The
exchange rates of all currencies being in the market turnover are permanently changing under the action of the
demand and supply alteration. The latter is a strong subject to the influence of any important for the human
society event in the sphere of economy, politics and nature. Consequently current prices of foreign currencies
evaluated for instance in the US dollars fluctuate towards its higher and lower meanings. Using these
fluctuations in accordance with a known principle “buy cheaper – sell higher” traders obtain gains. Forex is
different in compare to all other sectors of the world financial system thanks to his heightened sensibility to
a large and continuously changing number of factors, accessibility to all individual and corporative traders,
exclusively high trade turnover which creates an ensured liquidity of traded currencies and the round - the
clock business hours which enable traders to deal after normal hours or during national holidays in
their country finding markets abroad open.
Just as on any other market the trading on Forex, along with an exclusively high potential profitability,
is essentially risk - bearing one. It is possible to gain a success on it only after a certain training including a
familiarization with the structure and kinds of Forex, the principles of currencies price formation, the factors
affecting prices alterations and trading risks levels, sources of the information necessary to account all those
factors, techniques of the analysis and prediction of the market movements as well as with the trading tools
and rules. An important role in the process of the preparation for the trading on Forex belongs to the demo-
trading (that is to trade using a demo-account with some virtual money), which allows to testify all the
theoretical knowledge and to obtain a required minimum of the trade experience not being subjected to a
material damage.
Short data about the origin and development of the currency exchange market. Currency trading
has a long history and can be traced back to the ancient Middle East and Middle Ages when foreign
exchange started to take shape after the international merchant bankers devised bills of exchange, which
were transferable third-party payments that allowed flexibility and growth in foreign exchange dealings.
The modern foreign exchange market characterized by periods of high volatility (that is a frequency
and an amplitude of a price alteration) and relative stability formed itself in the twentieth century. By the
mid-1930s the British capital London became to be the leading center for foreign exchange and the British
pound served as the currency to trade and to keep as a reserve currency. Because in the old times foreign
exchange was traded on the telex machines, or cable, the pound has generally the nickname “cable”. After the
World War II, where the British economy was destroyed and the United States was the only country unscarred by
war, U.S. dollar, in accordance with the Breton Woods Accord between the USA, Great Britain and France
(1944) became the reserve currency for all the capitalist countries and all currencies were pegged to the
American dollar (through the constitution of currencies ranges maintained by central banks of relevant
countries by means of the interventions or currency purchases). In turn, the U.S. dollar was pegged to gold
at $35 per ounce. Thus, the U.S. dollar became the world's reserve currency. In accordance with the same
agreement was organized the International Monetary Fund (IMF) rendering now a significant financial
support to the developing and former socialist countries effecting economical transformation. To execute
these goals the IMF uses such instruments as Reserve trenches, which allows a member to draw on its own
reserve asset quota at the time of payment, Credit trenches drawings and stand-by arrangements. The
letters are the standard form of IMF loans unlike of those as the compensatory financing facility extends
