Example:

EUR/USD last trade 1.2850 - One Euro is worth $1.2850 US dollars.The first currency (in this example, EURO) is referred to as base currency and second (/USD) as counter or quote currency.

The FOREX has a DAILY trading volume of around $1.5 trillion dollars - 30 times larger than combined volume of all U.S. equity markets. This means that 1,498,574 skilled traders could each take 1 million dollars out of FOREX market every day and FOREX would still have more money left than New York Stock exchange every day! The FOREX plays a vital role in world economy and there will always be a tremendous need for FOREX. International trade increases as technology and communication increases. As long as there is international trade, there will be a FOREX market. The FX market has to exist so a country like Japan can sell products in United States and be able to receive Japanese Yen in exchange for US Dollar. There's plenty of money to be made using FOREX for plenty of traders that use right trading techniques / tactics that will allow them to profit immensely. And, with only 5% of daily turnover of volume coming from banks, government and large corporations who need to hedge, other 95% is for speculation and profit. http://ovfbooks.forextech.hop.clickbank.net
