Here's an interesting article regarding foreign currency

Forex trading is buying and selling the foreign currencies of
different countries. It has a similarity with stock trading in
that the foreign currencies behave like shares of the currency
institutions of the countries. Like stock prices, these also
move up and down with time-dependent volatility.

It is possible to buy a currency low, buy long and sell short
another high currency. It needs meticulous pursuit of the
exchange rates of currencies you want to trade. One needs to
keep up a continuous scrutiny of the trajectory every particular
currency vis-à-vis the other currencies, pair-wise.

It often has leverage enough to induce highly profitable
arbitrage and hedging. Each internationally accepted currency
has a market and the Forex market is the superset of all these
markets taken together. Traders make their own basket or
inventory of Forex and trade according to their anticipation of
movements.

For example, the primary Forex statistics for the euro in
relation to the German mark prior to 1999 reveals a lot of
interesting features and profit potential of dollar or German
Mark in relation the euro. From the evidence it appears somewhat
surprisingly that the euro lost ground against the US dollar in
Forex spot trading, and in quite a few dimensions did not match
the international transaction role of the German mark.

The euro changed the structure of the Forex market and increased
market transparency through currency elimination. This exposed
the dealers to higher inventory risks as their respective
inventory imbalances became exposed easily to other dealers.

The increased inventory costs were recovered by the dealers in
the euro markets through higher spreads. This made the euro a
less attractive transaction medium than the German mark. This
shows how trading in Forex involves both risk and profit
potentials.

and billionaires only. Now with the introduction of online Forex
