Are you a student of history? If not let me teach you a little about the history of the forex. In the history of the global economy, barter was used for centuries as a means of exchange of goods and services. You have a pig and I was a medicine man. You needed medical attention so you offered me the pig in exchange for my services. This works in theory but there are problems with this method. What if the value of your pig far exceeds the services I am providing you? Well you are left wanting as there was no other option until the introduction of money. Money as a trading tool solved that problem. Because with money you could set the price of your pig at $400 and I could set the price of my medical service at $300. So if you needed my services you could sell your pig and pay me $300 and then keep the remaining $100 to buy something else. Forex currency trading is simply a market where we set the actual value of a dollar or yen or the euro or any of the other global currencies.
