Forex tradin" is where the currency of one nation is traded for that of another. Therefore, Forex tradin" is always traded in airs. The most commonly traded currency airs are traded a"ainst the @4 Dollar $@4D%. They are called Cthe Ma2ors'. The ma2or currency airs are the Euro Dollar $E@*/@4D%D the British Eound $&BE/@4D%D the Fa anese 8en $@4D/FE8%D and the 4wiss Franc $@4D/CGF%. The notable Ccommodity( currency airs that trade are the Canadian Dollar $@4D/C+D% and the +ustralian Dollar +@D/@4D. Because there is not a central exchan"e for the Forex mar#et, these airs and their crosses are traded o!er the tele hone and online throu"h a "lobal networ# of ban#s, multinational cor orations, im orters and ex orters, bro#ers and currency traders. Traditionally, currency tradin" has been a ' rofessionals only' mar#et a!ailable exclusi!ely to ban#s and lar"e institutions, howe!er, because of the rise of the new E)economy, online Forex tradin" firms are now able to offer tradin" accounts to 'retail' traders li#e you and 1. ?ow almost anyone with a com uter and an 1nternet connection can trade currencies 2ust li#e the world's lar"est ban#s do.
