What is trading forex?

Why you should traded?

A simple way to understand, say, if you buy  the Pound Sterling then you are basically buying a “share” in the U.K economy. You are asuming that the U.K economy is doing well, and will even get better in the future. Once you sell those “shares” back to the market, hopefully, you will end up with a profit. In other words, the exchange rate of a currency versus other currencies could be a reflection of the condition of that country’s economy, compared to other countries’ economies.
