The word forex is a short form of the word Foreign Exchange, which is the basis of the commercial transactions which take place between two countries with their own currencies. The forex market refers to the trading that takes place within this area and is different from the stock market. Established since the ’70s, this market deals not just with one business or investment but the entire gamut of trading and selling of currencies.

Forex trading and currency exchange find they first roots in the Bretton Woods Conference of 1944 that aimed at putting into place a system of exchange rate management that, although did not become fully operative until 1959, as a matter of fact remained into place until 1971. The main feature of the Bretton Woods system was the obligation for each Country participating at the agreement to adopt a monetary policy that maintained the exchange rate of its currency within a fixed range; in addition, the IMF should have the power to bridge imbalances (temporarily). This is exactly what forex is not about: forex trading has at its base a floating currency exchange regime, that is, a model that uses a floating exchange rate at the base of its exchange rate system. How would it be possible to trade foreign currency (forex) imbalances if the rates were fixed or “pegged” against each other?
