  1. Foundations of Forex Trading Introduction The foreign exchange (Forex) market is the world’s largest and most liquid financial market, with daily transactions exceeding $6 trillion. Unlike traditional stock exchanges, Forex operates 24/5 on a decentralized, over-the-counter (OTC) network. This guide provides beginners with a strong foundation, covering market structure, key concepts, trading strategies, and the importance of risk management. 1. What is Forex Trading? Forex trading is the exchange of one currency for another with the objective of making a profit. Traders speculate on the rise or fall of currency values, buying when they expect appreciation and selling when they expect depreciation. ● Always traded in pairs (e.g., EUR/USD, GBP/JPY). ● The most traded currencies include USD, EUR, JPY, and GBP. ● Profit opportunities arise from constant fluctuations in currency values.

  2. 2. Currency Pairs & Market Sessions Currencies are quoted in pairs, and each pair represents the relative value between two currencies. Types of Pairs: ● Major Pairs – EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, etc. ● Minor Pairs – EUR/GBP, AUD/NZD, etc. ● Exotic Pairs – USD/TRY, EUR/ZAR, etc. Market Sessions: ● Asian Session (Tokyo) ● European Session (London) ● US Session (New York) These overlapping sessions ensure trading opportunities around the clock. 3. Core Forex Concepts To succeed in Forex, every trader must understand these basics: ● Pip – The smallest price movement in a currency pair. ● Spread – The difference between buy (ask) and sell (bid) prices. ● Leverage – Enables traders to control large positions with little capital. ● Margin – The collateral required for leveraged trades. ● Lot Size – Standardized trade size (standard, mini, micro). ● Stop-Loss / Take-Profit – Tools to manage risk and lock in profits.

  3. 5. Importance of Risk Management Success in Forex is not just about winning trades—it’s about capital preservation. Principles include: ● Risk only 1–2% per trade. ● Always use stop-loss orders. ● Avoid overleveraging and emotional trading. ● Diversify across strategies to reduce exposure. Risk management ensures long-term growth and survival in trading. 6.
