My best advise to you — don’t do it. This is strictly for professionals and they don’t even get it right sometimes. You’re more likely to lose than gain.

Hi William,
the forex market is a global market. Many factors drive it. Global issues. Financial issues. Political issues. The main point is that sentiments drive it.
For example, if there is a major war in a country now, that country’s currency may drop due to investors fear of it’s stability.
