Press Release Body: The successful foreign exchange trader will have a strong
appreciation and understanding of economic data, a disciplined trading strategy,
access to financial trading systems and sufficient risk capital.

The currency of a country is similar to a share price in that its strength or
weakness depends upon confidence. If an investor has confidence in the currency he
will buy it if not then he will sell. This confidence is based upon the economy of
the country and its level of political stability.

Foreign exchange traders must therefore be aware of the relevant economic data, be
able to understand it and then be prepared to trade. The idea is to anticipate
future movements by buying one currency by selling another.
If an investor believed that the Swiss Franc was to get stronger against the US
Dollar he would sell dollar and buy Swiss, if he were correct then to take profit he
would then buy dollar and sell Swiss Franc. Investors may use the cash foreign
exchange market, i.e. just swap one currency for another one. Alternatively, foreign
exchange traders use one of the following: rolling spot, forward, futures or
options. There are many financial trading systems available to traders to allow
direct access to the market by using online trading platforms, some of these are
market making systems where you are trading against the market makers price, others
are inter bank and broker platforms where there is a multiple of participants
creating a true market. Futures and options contracts are dealt on recognised
exchanges where liquidity and price is transparent and contracts are all of a set
size.

Foreign exchange trading offshore is possible through companies such as Berkeley
(Bahamas) limited which offers foreign trading platforms as well as IQ-Trader and
Pro-Trader which offer access to all world futures and option markets. Corporate and
private investor's offshore accounts should not attract tax at source but may not be
suitable for all investors. If you are interested in becoming a foreign exchange
trader and would like to open an offshore trading account, then please contact
Berkeley ( Bahamas ) Limited.

A Foreign exchange trader will refer to forex, fx or currency trading, they all
amount to the same thing and all carry risk. It is possible to use a high degree of
gearing to trade up to 100x your initial deposit, in this way $10,000 will allow a
foreign exchange trader to carry a position of $1,000,000, this may not be
inadvisable but is possible. The profit and loss is based on the amount carried so a
1% movement in the currency could either double or wipe out the investment.
