Current conversion operations of a currency exchange thanks to which the financial speculator derives profit today in the international interbank currency market Forex. FOREX is a term abbreviation «Foreign Exchange Operations» which is understood as existing international exchange currency transactions. Forex trader became hardly probable not the most tempting financial occupation promising considerable incomes and prosperity.

Let’s notice that for the currency financial market as, however and for any financial markets in general, the word “speculator” which is abusive for the Russian mentality, is not really so. On the contrary, everybody perfectly understands that financial operations are speculative by the nature and they have anything common to the criminal or something like that. The market of currency transactions is, perhaps, the most capacious of existing one today in the world. It is several times more than volume of all gold and exchange stocks of the most developed countries of the world taken together!

Essential difference of the market of interbank currency transactions consists that it is not localized anywhere, and the trade goes round the clock thanks to the modern telecommunication systems, allowing to carry out transactions in a mode of real time. It is natural that so difficult and developed market cannot exist without the relevant analytical information allowing participants of this market to do more or less exact forecasts of rates of exchange and to carry out rational transactions, instead of being engaged in a guessing on a coffee thick.

For the traders to overcome terrible deficiency of the information, allowing to make qualitative decisions, there are special methods allowing them to react on any trading signals, giving the evident information where the market starts to move. After all «to get to a trend» is considered the highest pilotage for the present trader! The basic methods of the analysis of the financial market (and, in particular, the market of currencies) concern the fundamental and technical analysis. The fundamental analysis looks at the development of the market and its «movements» from the point of view of macroeconomic and political influences, and technical analysis concentrates its efforts on price movements, in which, according to the analysts of this school and so all major economic and political components are presented in the abstract form.

To survive in the conditions of the global market is improbably difficult. It is hard to be engaged independently at serious level in the fundamental or technical analysis. Therefore there is nothing surprising that a right answer on a main point: «Where is the market going to today (tomorrow, in a month)? » is searched by the traders in that stream of the information with which supply various analytical and news agencies. Unfortunately, to trust them it is possible with a corresponding share of a bias since any trader working in market Forex repeatedly could be convinced that the information which has arrived from “unlimited” sources was born thanks to the desire of more powerful players to confuse less powerful and skilled ones. Well, Forex is a space of risk, it is fated to win only for the most far-sighted people with a strong nervous system.
