Is Forex Currency Trading Different to Currency Market Trading?

By Phil Jarvie

Many variations on the terms exist, including 4x trading, fx currency trading, forex currency trading, currency market trading, fx exchange and the list goes on and on. The main point is that it is all about buying and selling international currency, and the forex currency market is where the price is constantly being set in real time with each country being paired with another.

Many people do get confused about the names. This comes from the fact that many people know so little about forex currency trading, and so the general confusions they have about currency market trading extends to all the different names for it. People know about the Internet, and with that came the stock market's day traders dealing in shares, options and warrants. And all brokers had to deal with the Internet allowing them to be bypassed as software enabled people to place buy and sell orders direct.

There has always been forex currency trading, but prior to the Internet it was the exclusive domain of Governments, large banks and brokerage firms. Currency market trading then was opened up to the micro and mini forex day traders because of the widespread use of broadband internet and smart, fast and reliable software. It is interesting that most investors really only discovered stock markets when the Internet opened up all the markets equally.

I find it interesting and ironic that so many people have not yet discovered forex currency trading and yet they know the stock market so well. After all, the forex currency market turns over more cash in one week when the entire USA economy struggles to do a similar amount in the entire year.

Besides the sheer size of the forex currency trading market, well maybe because of its size and International, cross-borders nature; it is beyond the ability of any nation to control it with useless regulation and price fixing. There is no way to centrally control forex currency trading. Like, if/when the USA make new rules to try to control or manipulate forex, people simply move their cash to another jurisdiction. The operation a free market only truly exists with currency market trading.

It is not so difficult to manipulate the stock market as all stocks will clearly fall within one jurisdiction, and Governments will make laws that interfere with the free market. Big business, the banks and brokers, their lawyers and/or criminals can always find a way to trick and defraud the innocent, small investor. But the sheer size of forex currency trading will always be a process of matching the values of one currency against another currency. In real time as defined by the constant process of currency market trading, no one is big enough to get a fix in.

Let's assume a Middle Eastern Prince enters the market with 5 Billion Euros which he backs the Euro against the dollar. Yes, such a heavy-weight move may push up the value of the Euro by about 1 cent or a bit more over about 3 hours. But his timing had better be on the back of some bad news coming out of the USA, because the currency market trading volumes are so large that the 5 billion Euros could just as easily become 4 billion in that same 3 hours. Forex currency trading is so large that 5 billion Euro is nothing really considering the 2,500 billion euros traded each and every day, 5 days a week.

Having said all of this about the openness and transparency of forex currency trading, currency market trading does lend itself to the use of intelligent 4x trading software and the use of proven fx trading strategies. Money management is paramount, and effective strategies are necessary to protect your capital.
