Introduction to Forex and Foreign exchange charts

You might already be familiar with the concept of money used to buy goods and services. In these transactions, you exchange the currency and in return receive goods and other services. The quantity of the goods you receive depends on the value of your currency at that particular time. If the currency is at a low value, you might have to exchange more currencies to get the same goods.

In a similar fashion, you can also exchange currency of your country to buy currency of another country. This is known as Foreign Exchange or in short Forex.
