The Foreign exchange market originated in the Imperial era, and was significantly modernized in the post World War 2 era, with its modern conception being largely based upon the stock exchanges and money markets. The Forex market, which is sometimes also known as a currency trading was basically set up in order to help people and companies to convert one currency into another. Just like stock markets, people also trade for profit in the stock exchanges. The mechanism to obtain profit is simple. A United States trader can invest $50 into the Euro of the same value. When the Euro apprises the US trader can immediately convert the Euros into dollars which would be $50 plus something. The only difference with software is that these transactions have now become totally automated.
