Foreign exchange traders can be separated into two groups, hedgers and speculators.
Hedgers: Governments, companies (exporters and importers) and some investors have foreign exchange exposure. Adverse movements between their local or domestic currency and the foreign currency of the group they are either doing business with (for the exchange of goods and services) or investing in will affect their bottom line. This is the core of all foreign exchange trading; however it only makes up approximately 5% of the actual market.
Speculators: These groups which range from banks, funds, corporations and individuals – create artificial rate exposure in order to profit from the variations or movements in the price.we trade off-exchange forex transactions.

Basic Concepts
The term Foreign Exchange means the transferring of one currency into another simultaneously. Since currencies are traded in pairs, to profit from an exchange rate move you need to buy the currency that you expect will strengthen and sell the other. For example if you believed that the Euro (EUR) was going to appreciate against the dollar (USD) you would buy the EUR/USD; or in other words buy the EUR and sell the USD. Alternatively, if you believed that the EUR was going to depreciate against the USD then you would sell the EUR/USD; or sell the EUR and buy the USD.
As can be seen there is no need to wait for a bullish market to profit, for at any given moment, one currency will be strengthening against another. The FX market is therefore constantly producing opportunities to invest.

The FX Market
The Foreign Exchange market which is often referred to as the "Forex" or "FX markets" is the largest, most liquid, most transparent financial market in the world. Daily average turnover has now exceeded 2 trillion USD. All the U.S. equity markets combined do not reach 3% of the total volume traded on the FX market.
Unlike other financial markets, where for the most part you can only profit in rising markets, in the FX market whenever one enters into a position he is long (bought) one currency and short (sold) another currency simultaneously which means as opposed to other cyclical financial markets in the FX markets there are endless opportunities.
