I trade foreign exchange currency for a living currently in order to do what all heads of household must do and that is to keep a roof over our head and food on the table.  Other than late night infomercials on forex get rich quick programs, most do not know what trading foreign currency is all about. 

Currently the forex market is one of the most liquid financial markets in the world.  There is currently $3.2 trillion dollars which is turned over through the International Bank of Settlements each day and growing on the forex market. 

There are many brokers throughout the world which trade currencies through large central banks.  Small traders such as myself are able to set up accounts through these brokers who place trades for us in real time. 

95% of all people who trade forex end up losing their entire trading account within the first year.  The other 5 % are fortunate enough to be able to make a profit. 

I have been studying the forex market and how to trade it for the past five years.  I have used practice money (demo accounts) for much of that time in order to understand and appreciate the emotion and skill of trading. 

There are many websites and strategies that are out there today in which traders use.  It comes down to what works best for each trader. 

Trading foreign currencies is not rocket science by any means.  It is about paying attention to detail, researching the market and its trends and learning how to take emotion out of trading.
