Forex Trading – Foreign Exchange Course

You want to learn about Forex?

Foreign exchange, or forex, is the conversion of one country’s currency into another.
In a free economy, a country’s currency is valued according to the laws of supply and demand.
In other words, a currency’s value can be pegged to another country’s currency, such as the U.S. dollar, or even to a basket of currencies.
A country’s currency value may also be set by the country’s government.
However, most countries float their currencies freely against those of other countries, which keeps them in constant fluctuation.

Skilled investors know that to play in today’s high-risk global-investment environment, they must maximize return while hedging risk. To do this successfully, investors must understand the intricacies and nuances of a myriad of investment vehicles, many relatively new to the investment arena. In Derivative Securities: The Complete Investor’s Guide, two renowned experts show how a unified approach to derivatives that pays equal attention to options and futures pricing in both theory and practice, allows the investor to achieve his or her goals. Particular attention is paid to the issue of credit risk in pricing and the crucial function of risk management.
