Foreign Currency Trading is a complete manual on effectively taking advantage of trading, both as a source of profit and income, and also as a sophisticated enclose in an investment selection. Foreign Exchange is the name given to the “direct access” trading of foreign currencies. Hence the word as Foreign Currency Trading.

Currency Trading is different from investing, since it is more speculative in nature. Currency Trading offers high potential returns because of the fact that you can control your money.

Lets try understanding the concept of Foreign Currency Trading with the help of an example. Leveraging your account balance by 100 to 1 means you can capture the change in value of 0,000 worth of a currency with only ,000 in your forex margin account.

Some Currency Trading accounts may also offer 200 to 1 leverage. In contrast, a homeowner that puts 5 percent down on a home purchase only has 20 to 1 leverage. Thus, understanding the fact that a currency move can force liquidation of open positions if adequate margin isn’t maintained in the account.

What currency will have the strongest potential in the short and long terms?
There are several trends in the currency market, which signals that the Norwegian Kroner (NOK) has a potential to be the stronger currency in the short to medium term (18-24 months time).

As the economic downturn ripples globally, the economic development during 2009 becomes a hot debate in the U.S and EU. It will become clearer which currency of USD and EUR will become the global currency leader, or if both will be replaced by other currencies in the mid to long term perspective. IMF;s Special Drawing Rights (SDR) has become a topic of discussions whether it will play a stronger role as global reserve unit, and replace USD.

We have to look closer into who is purchasing this debt and what is the potential for these to realize some profit from these assets in medium to long term perspective.

There has been discussions lately to include more currencies into the SDR basket, however at the moment IMF has not been willing to make any adjustments to the SDR composition. It has also been discussed to use Gold more actively into the SDR. Again IMF together with G20 has not yet adopted any statement on this issue either.

More effective use of gold and gold and forex reserves in this system, could dilute the SDR, which IMF is afraid of at the moment.

The trends of various currencies versus the Norwegian Kroner (NOK) have had a distinct development through 2008 up till March 2009. These trends have been offset in time during 2008, however it seems like the trends have become more synchronized as time has passed, and today it looks like these trends are identical.

The overall picture is that the NOK has strengthened itself towards two major currencies like USD and EUR in the period of August 2008 up till today. This strengthening has seem to found a semi-stable level at the moment, which
