What is the essence of Forex trading?
Forex refers to the global market where currencies are traded, i.e. when you are placing a trade in the Forex market you are exchanging one currency for another. The price at which a currency can be bought or sold is called the quote. Currencies are always traded in pairs, for instance when you are buying or selling EURUSD you buy or sell a certain amount of Euro (EUR) with U.S. dollars (USD), and buying or selling GBPUSD you is the same as buying or selling British pounds (GBP) with U.S. dollars (USD).
Forex is essentially not much different from exchanging currencies in a bank or an exchange office. You can make profit by choosing the best quote and time to buy or sell a currency regardless of the direction of price movement.
