Abstract:Anyone who trades the forex market without a proper understanding of the fundamental factors that move the Forex Market is a gambler. The Forex Market is ontologically designed to be an investment package for individuals, companies, and government. However, the desire to make quick money by scalpers has dented the image of the forex industry. Forex is a tool for hedging against inflation and maximizing profits. And never a place for gambling.
