The currency market, or more specifically the forex market, derives its name from the generic term foreign exchange market. Obviously, the forex is the largest, fastest-growing financial marketplace in the world, which is full of potential to earn lots of money.

However, many Forex traders are not aware of the large number of traders in the Forex market and the influence or non-influence that traders have on supply and demand. If you are trading the Pound/Dollar then you want to place your order when demand for the Pound is increasing or demand for the Dollar is increasing. When is that exactly and how do you measure it?

The top traders learn to not only follow price but to understand momentum changes in price. Momentum changes tied with actual “key” trading times in the market can provide the first indications that the market is reading to move. It is this understanding of momentum that alerts top traders to the conditions that something is happening in the market. Many very wealthy traders have admitted that they are more lucky than good but they also will tell you that they were prepared to take advantage of the luck.

The forex market was created to facilitate the sale of currency to customers who intend to take delivery of the currency; however, the vast majority of trading is done by speculators seeking nothing more than profit.
