Most countries have their own national currencies, such as the US dollar, the UK pound, the Japanese yen and the Thai baht, and these are, of course, required within the boundaries of each country to make payments for goods and services. Nevertheless, in a world where we move more and more and where countries trade more and more with each other, foreign currency is needed to pay for cross-border sales of goods and services. This implies that some system must be in place to provide access to foreign currencies so that payments can be made in a manner that is appropriate to the seller, and hence the need for a foreign exchange market (or a forex market that is literally short for Foreign Exchange). In its simplest form, foreign exchange refers to money denominated in a currency other than your own. For instance, if a person exchanges his own currency for another nation's currency, then he gets foreign exchange. Of course, in terms of tourism, we often think of foreign exchange and most of us will have travelled abroad either on vacation or for business and exchanged currency upon arrival at our destination to pay hotel and restaurant bills and for taxis, sightseeing and shopping. Foreign exchange, however, is not strictly limited to the relatively small quantities of money handled by tourists, but extends similarly to larger transactions such as the exchange of hundreds of millions of US dollars when another company located overseas is purchased by a US company.

Generally speaking, any money denominated in another nation's currency will be considered foreign exchange in the US Foreign exchange can also consist of money available via a credit line (such as a credit card) or kept in the form of checks for travelers. In other words, for any negotiable instrument denominated in a currency other than the US dollar, we are still talking about foreign exchange. However, when we talk about the foreign exchange market, we are not really concerned with tourists exchanging small sums of currency, but looking at foreign currency exchanged between an international network of foreign exchange dealers For example, the major banks are one of the key players in foreign currency trading, and here a UAE bank will need US Dollars to help customers pay for imports from USA.

Today , an increasing number of small investors are able to participate in the foreign exchange markets and benefit from the gains to be made, however, the private forex trader does not trade huge quantities of money himself, but is able to trade through brokers who are themselves major market players. Two steps must be achieved before an individual can start trading: registration and deposit of funds. Registration takes place online. The investor may be forced to reveal only basic or additional details, depending on established government regulations. Some might also need to request hard copies of driver's licenses, EID or passports. A trader will have to make a fund deposit upon registering. To do this, a credit card may be used. The trader is well on his way to online Forex trading, having carried out such prerequisites.
