Foreign Exchange
Foreign exchange trading is the simultaneous buying of one currency and selling of another。 The foreign exchange market (Forex or FX) is the largest financial market in the world with a daily turnover of over $1。9 trillion。 Examples of currency trading pairs are Euro/US Dollar (EUR/USD) and US Dollar/Japanese Yen (USD/JPY)。 Most currency transactions involve the "Majors" - US Dollar， Euro， Japanese Yen， British Pound， Swiss Franc， Canadian Dollar and Australian Dollar。
Unlike other financial markets， the foreign exchange market has no physical location and no central exchange。 The Forex market operates 24 hours a day through an electronic network of banks， corporations and individual traders。 Forex trading begins every day in Sydney， then moves to Tokyo， followed by London and then New York。 The major market makers， or dealers， consist of the commercial and investment banks， the exchange traded futures， and registered futures commission merchants such as FX Solutions。 FX Solutions' dealing desk is open 24-hours a day from Sunday 16：00 EST to Friday 16：30 EST。

外汇价格
外汇市场和外汇价格主要受到资金流动影响， 其次受到证券市场和债券市场的影响(例如： 经济状况， 政治状况， 尤其是利率， 货币膨胀和政治动荡)。 这些次要影响因素往往是短暂的。
类似于其它金融产品， 外汇价格包括'买入价'和'卖出价'。
买入价： 券商买入并且交易者卖出货币的价格。
卖出价： 券商卖出并且交易者买入货币的价格。
买入价与卖出价之间的差额称为"点差"。 我们为交易者提供最低的交易点差， 从而降低交易费用。 如果您要查看所有交易货币点差， 请点击这里。
货币报价通常为4个小数位， 如： 欧元/美元的交易价为1。2400/1。2403。 大多数货币的交易最小单位是0。0001， 不过， 美元/日元的交易最小单位是0。01。
Foreign Exchange Prices
Foreign exchange markets and prices are mainly influenced by international trade flows and investment flows。 The FX markets are also influenced， but to a lesser extent， by the same factors that influence the equity and bond markets： economic and political conditions especially interest rates， inflation， and political instability。 Those factors usually have only a short-term impact， which makes Forex attractive as it offers some of the diversification necessary to protect against adverse movements in the equity and bond markets。
Foreign Exchange prices， or quotes， include a "Bid" and "Ask" similar to other financial products：
Bid： Price at which Dealer is willing to Buy and Traders can Sell Currency
Ask： Price at which Dealer will Sell and Traders can Buy Currency
The difference between the Bid and Ask is called the "Spread"， which is the Trader's cost of the transaction。 FX Solutions offers Traders the narrowest spreads in the retail Forex industry， thereby lowering transaction costs。 For more information on the Spreads offered by FX Solutions click here。
Currencies are usually quoted to four decimal places， such as the Euro/US Dollar trading at 1。2400/1。2403， with the last decimal place referred to as a point or "pip"。 A pip for most currencies is 0。0001 of an exchange rate; the one exception is the USD/JPY quote in which each pip is equal to 0。01。
inflation
A persistent increase in the level of consumer prices or a persistent decline in the purchasing power of money， caused by an increase in available currency and credit beyond the proportion of available goods and services。
通货膨胀：由于市场上通货和信用货币增到超过市场所提供的商品和服务而导致的消费品价格水平的持续上涨和货币购买力的持续下跌
quote
To state (a price) for securities， goods， or services。
报价：报出有价证券、商品或服务项目(价格)
