However, there is a new institution after the establishment of arbitration bodies measure contract (futures). Examples are IMM (International Money Market, was founded in 1972) which is a division of the CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange-specific product handling perishable commodities).

Rotation of money going on forex market reaches U.S. $ 5 trillion per day (survey-BIS Bank for International Settlement-in Setember 2008). This amount is 40 x greater when compared to rotation in the money stock measure, such as commodities or stock market on each securities exchange in any developed countries! This means the volume of the trade, this market is very liquid (liquid), and trade can not be held by only a few parties that have large capital. Currency movement is entirely dependent on the market. There are lots of players big or small in forex trading, but not one of them is capable of controlling the movement of foreign currency exchange rate.

Currency which is the currency are developed countries such as the United States Dollar (USD), Japanese Yen (JPY), Swiss Franc (CHF), British Pounds Sterling (GBP), Australian Dollar (AUD), and the Euro (EUR). All currency in this are in pairs (called a pair), for example, EUR / GBP, CHF / JPY and so on.

And from which I benefit from this investment? The sederhananya, benefit from the investment value is obtained from the difference between when we purchase and sell back the currency of the country. For example, in April to buy Amir Dollar currency exchange rate with the Rp. 8500, – per U.S. Dollar as much as $ 1000. But at the time of purchase this currency Amir spent as much as Rp. 8500, – x 1000 = Rp 8.500.000, – Then in May, the exchange rate against the Dollar menguat Rupiah to Rp. 9500, – per Dollarnya the net profit that Amir got back when he sells Dollarnya is: (9500-8500) x 1000 = Rp. 1.000.000, – Easy and simple is not it? And because the average time needed to sell and buy back the currency are usually not more than one month, the forex trading are classified as investments with short time.

And the more important because it does not involve the physical trading, forex trading system can be run with the margin or collateral (margin trading).

For example if I want to buy U.S. $ 10,000, with the margin trading system I just spent 1% of funds that is its only U.S. $ 100 as security. But I get the benefit of appreciation (increase in) the U.S. Dollar is equal in value to U.S. $ 10,000 that I bought. Very simple and because it does not involve trading in the form of physical (investors do not hold the currency bought or sold, only evidence of any transaction), then the insurance can be very small given that only 1% of the amount that would be purchased.
