Forex or Foreign Exchange ,  Quite simply, it's a Global Market that allows you to trade two Currencies against each other . For example : If you ever traveled to another country, you usually have to find a Currency Exchange Booth at the airport, and then exchange the money you have in your wallet into the currency of the country you are visiting. You go up to the exchange counter and you notice a screen displaying different exchange rates for different currencies. You find United States Dollar (USD) and you notice that if you wanna get a Dollar you must have at least 75 Rupees. That means the value of USD in India is above 75 Rupees. Then you Exchange the Currency for another and you automatically participated in the Forex Market !
