My main source of income is Fx trading

It’s allowed me to have 6 figure months at 24

I plan on teaching you all how to do it, from basic terms to my strategy

Here’s the 1st thread:

So what is Fx

Good question

Let’s answer that 👇
Forex or Fx for short is reference to the foreign exchange market

This is an OTC (over the counter) market meaning no exchange is involved

A market where traders (like me) can speculate & buy/sell currencies

In practice it’s no different to you swapping money for a holiday
Forex is one of worlds largest markets

- open 24/5
- daily turnover of $5 trillion 👀
- allows conversion of one currency into another

Although forex trading has practical purposes
Majority is carried out by specualtors, big banks and hedge funds
The ultimate aim of forex trading?

To make a profit (duh)

Most traders make exchange rate predictions to take advantage of price movement (betting one currency will strengthen whilst the other doesn’t)

There’s multiple types of currencies pairs you can trade
The currencies pairs belong to distinct groups

- Majors (~80% of the volume traded)
E.g GBP/USD, EUR/USD

- Minors (2 of the major currencies)
E.g EUR/GBP

- Exotics (A major vs an emerging)
E.g GBP/MXN

- Regional (pairs classified by region)
E.g AUD/NZD
So what causes shifts in these currencies?

Well I’m sure you’re aware but each currency normally belongs to an economy around the world

The price is driven by supply/demand of the currency

What effects this supply and demand?

- Central banks
- Positive/negative country news
Supply is controlled by central banks

They can announce numerous measures to effect this supply

Central bank announcements effect the price of currency dramatically

Quantitative easing involves injecting money (money printing) into the economy causing currency to drop value
Positive & negative news

Investors/banks want to put their money into countries/economies with a strong outlook

Positive news means investors are more likely to invest in the country therefore demand for the currency increases, increasing its price

Opposite for negative news
A great example of all this was Brexit

The uk voted to leave the European Union

This created massive risk & uncertainty

Demand for the currency dropped from $1.50 to $1.32

To this day you can still see how brexit news with ongoing negotiations effect GBP/USD exchange rate
That’s forex summed up in thread if I’m honest

There’s a lot in here, some I don’t want but necessary other parts missing but are too complicated/long

I plan on explaining everything about forex, including how I became a 6 figure trader on this Twitter + my strategy
