A Brief Look at the Fascinating World of Forex Exchange Rates
One of the primary methods of making a profit on the foreign exchange or the Forex market is to be able to purchase and sell currencies in such a way that whatever fluctuations there may be in the prices will end up helping you to earn a tidy profit. Therefore, understanding the meaning and nature of foreign exchange rates is crucial to your success in Forex trading and though it might, on the surface, appear to be a simple matter that anybody can learn, in reality it isn’t all that straightforward a subject and therefore requires some in-depth knowledge prior to a person being able to succeed in Forex trading.
A Rich History
Actually, there is a rich history behind the foreign exchange rates so you need to understand the importance of understanding why things happen the way that they do on the Forex market and also educate yourself in making the right decisions so that you can capitalize on your knowledge.
So, to actually comprehend foreign exchange rates, you must be certain of what they in fact really are A definition of foreign exchange rates would be that they are the value of one currency as it relates to a second currency.
Therefore, when the exchange rate between two different currencies is listed as being a first currency fetching 1.20 of the second currency, then the foreign exchange rate is 1:1.2. Additionally, you will also need to comprehend why currencies have values that are different and this can be best explained by the fact that after the valuation of currencies throughout the world moved away from ‘gold standards’, the prices of currencies started to be pegged against the US dollar, and other currencies fluctuated upwards or downwards as they related to this currency in a range of not more than a single percentage.
Hence, this was the start of foreign exchange rates and it was commonly referred to as fixed exchange rate. Since these changes in the method that the trade is carried out in recent times, both the fixed exchange rates and the gold standard have been abandoned so the forex exchange rates are now typically known as fluctuating exchange rates.
In reality it means that presently forex exchange rates are influenced by the forces of the market and when demand for a specific currency exceeds its supply then the Forex exchange rates will end up going higher for the currency being demanded, and the opposite would occur should the demand decrease.
Now that the US dollar is the base currency in Forex trading, the US government merely prints additional dollars and then sells these new dollars to various countries in the form of debts, though due to rising oil prices as well as stronger world economies, currently the US dollar is losing its vice like grip as the predominant currency of the world which is eroding the exchange rates of the dollar and the United States closest trading allies are affected as well.

First you need to have a website which showcases your skills, knowledge, and track record. It should include details of what happens in each class, along with class dates, past and future, plus testimonials from people who have benefited from your classes. Pictures of the classes and up to date forex charts would help too. If you search for free advertising sites on the web you will find many good ones where you can post adverts to publicise your classes for free. Special offers would work well here. Always include a link to your website. For people who have attended your classes, always get their email address and keep in touch with them for refresher classes. Create a Yahoo Group and invite your class clients to join. Then you can keep them engaged with commentaries on how the various currencies are doing and the best trades to make. You could start an email newsletter with forex insights and trading tips, and get your customers to pay each month for your trading tips.
Hope this helps!

Well….a couple of things you need to think about. "Earning big money very fast" is known by most people as gambling. If that is your objective with the Forex market I would strongly recommend that you look elsewhere. Like maybe….Las Vegas.
Now if you want to generate attractive returns on a consistent basis as part of a long term investment strategy….I can be of help.
First, I must caution you that any market that can generate high returns also involves high risk. You should never invest money that you cannot afford to lose in the Forex market. That being said there are conservative hedging strategies that can greatly reduce those risks.
If you were to earn 8% return per month, you would double your 5000Euros every 9 months. (9 mos – 10,000euros, 18 mos – 20,000euros, 36 months – 80,000euros). There are conservative Forex strategies with which you could consistently average over 8% per month. If you were to earn 12% per month you would double your money every 6 months (growing an initial 5000Euros to 320,000Euros in 36 months)
You have a much better chance of success by taking a conservative long term view than looking for an immediate big time win!

One man meat might be another man poison. All forex brokers now offering demo account, you can just sign up their demo account and try it out yourself. Then choose the one best suit your preferences.
Good luck.

My advice to you, don't invest in Forex. Yes, you might get "fast" gain sometimes but most of the time you'll suffer "fast" lost. Even professionals often find themselves losing millions of money for the corporations they are working with.

What out for FOREX scams. They want your money.

Yes.
If you held the foreign security for 1 year or under, it is a short term capital gain. If held it for over 1 year, it is a long term gain.
If I am correct, almost all forex transactions are short term.
They are reported on Schedule D, Form 1040.
