Guide to Forex




STOP

The signs of the road are easy to read. No matter 
where you are in the world, chances are pretty good 
that you’d know what to do at a red octagonal sign 
or a green light. We combined forex learning 
with the rules of the road to give you a fun and 
easy way to learn the basics 
of forex trading. Driving a car can be exciting, 
fun and, if you’re not doing it properly, very 
dangerous. Just like forex trading.If you’re ready to learn, 
have a seat, fasten your belt and enjoy our Forex Ed lessons.


HOW THE ROAD WAS PAVED




Today’s forex market was formed in the early 1970’s. The first major 
step in the formation of the market was the Bretton Woods Accord,
which was established after World War II to restore the world’s 
economic state. The Bretton Woods Accord decided that all major 
currencies would be pegged to the U.S. dollar, which was pegged 
to gold at a price of $35 per ounce. Under these standards, the 
major global currencies pegged to the U.S. dollar were only able 

to fluctuate by one percent. 




The European nations sought to move away from their dependency

of the dollar in the 1970’s, thus forming the Smithsonian Agreement 
and the European Joint Float. Each agreement was similar to the 
Bretton Woods Accord, but allowed a greater range of fluctuation 
in the currency values. However, both agreements failed, paving 
the way for the free-floating systems. There were no longer pegs 

on currencies, and therefore currencies were able to fluctuate freely.  




Traders utilize these fluctuations on the forex market. By studying

price changes and current events, a forex trader can buy or sell
one currency against another in hopes of making a profit off of the
price fluctuations

THE BASIC MECHANICS BEHIND A TRADE

Before you can steer your forex career in a profitable direction, 
you need to know some market basics. 

 
Trading Hours 

The Forex market is a global entity. 
Market hours overlap one another, 
ensuring that there’s always an open 
market. Traders can make trades 24 
hours a day, 5 days a week. The 
market closes on Fridays at 
21:00 GMT and reopens on 
Sundays at 21:00 GMT.
TOOLS










 Trading Pairs

A trading pair consists of a base 
currency and a quote currency. 
The first currency listed in the 
pair is the base currency, 
while the second currency is the
 quote currency. Traders buy or 
sell the base currency using the 
quote currency.Let’s take a look 
at this pair: 

EUR/USD 

In the trading pair above, the Euro is the base currency and the 

United States Dollar is the quote currency. If you are trading with 
the EUR/USD, you’d be purchasing or selling the Euro using the 
United States Dollar.
TOOLS








 Leverage

Leverage is a big part of Forex 
trading. Leverage is a loan 
given to a trader by a broker 
to intensify that trader’s results. 
Calculating leverage is simple. 
All you have to do is multiply 
the leverage by how much you 
wish to trade. A leverage of 
100:1 means that the broker will 
 match every 1 dollar you 
trade with 100 dollars. 
A leverage of 20:1 means 
that every 1 dollar you trade
will be matched by 20 dollars, 
etc. For example, 
if you sign up with Forex Club’s minimal balance of $10 
and trade with a leverage of 100:1, that means that you can 
trade ($100x10=) $1,000.
