Forex Trading – Foreign Exchange Course
You want to learn about Forex?
Foreign exchange, or forex, is the conversion of one country’s currency into another.
In a free economy, a country’s currency is valued according to the laws of supply and demand.
In other words, a currency’s value can be pegged to another country’s currency, such as the U.S. dollar, or even to a basket of currencies.
A country’s currency value may also be set by the country’s government.
However, most countries float their currencies freely against those of other countries, which keeps them in constant fluctuation.

About Author
Eric Tyson
After working as a management consultant to Fortune 500 financial service firms, which provided him with an inside perspective on the workings of the industry, Eric founded in 1990 the nation’s first financial counseling firm which worked exclusively on an hourly basis. He started his new company to provide objective, cost-effective personal financial advice. Through family and friends, Eric had seen many otherwise intelligent people make major mistakes in managing their money.
In addition to his counseling work and three decades of investing experience, Eric also has made an impact in the writing and media fields. Much of the personal finance writing and reporting he saw and heard was biased, jargon-laden and, in some cases, filled with bad advice. For example, rather than telling people the hard truth – that one must live within one’s means as a prerequisite to building wealth – many publications offer up hyped and unrealistic “get rich without making sacrifices or taking risk” type approaches.
Eric is a best-selling personal finance book author and has penned five national best sellers. He is also the only author to have four of his books simultaneously on Business Week’s business book bestseller list.
His Personal Finance for Dummies, a Wall Street Journal best-seller, won the Benjamin Franklin Award for Best Business Book of the Year. Eric’s syndicated column is read by millions of readers weekly. He is a former columnist and award-winning journalist for the Sunday San Francisco Chronicle.
