Forex:Working With Multiple Currencies

Since Forex is the Foreign Exchange Market, you obviously
cannot expect everyone within the market to trade in U.S.
dollars (and why not, you might ask? – but remember that
not everyone covets the U.S. dollar). With so many
variables and volatile currencies being exchanged, how can
you know a good buy or sell when you see one without
complete awareness of the value of foreign currency?

The first step is to find a source that will give you a basic
idea of the current exchange rate between your domestic
currency and the foreign currency in question. You should
do this as a base listing for any currency that with which you
might become involved. Of course, this will not be
consistent down to the cent or fraction of a particular
currency throughout an entire business day, but at least you
will have your starting point from which to begin, almost like
North on a compass. Such sources can be found all over the
Internet, as well as through many brokers, both on line and
in person.
