Can someone explain the ForEx market in laymen’s for me?

glaserg4 asked:


I’m considering getting into the Forex market soon and am starting to do some homework. If someone could just lay out how things work and how you actually make (or lose) money, that would be nice. Also, what exactly is a pip and a lot? Thanks in advance.

    Forex Trading is a highly leveraged trading. Meaning you borrow money to trade, with very little of your own money. If you put $1000 deposit you could trade up to $100,000. Forex is quoted in 4 decimal places. That is 0.0000. SO with a $10,000 account, a 1 pip or 0.0001 move makes $1. 0.0010, $10. If its $100,000 just multiply by 10. So you profit or loss accordingly,
