Forex trading is the process of buying and selling foreign currencies with the sole aim of making a profit.  Foreign exchange rates are simply the price of one currency in terms of another one.  If the exchange rate between the US$ and the £ is $2=£1, this means that one pound of sterling will cost two US dollars. In any exchange rate there is a pair of currencies involved.  So to take the above example, if we wanted to buy $1,000 dollars with sterling it would cost us £500.   So you are buying one currency and selling another and Forex traders are effectively betting on the movements between these currencies i.e. the price moving up or down.
