Forex market trading is trading with a country’s currency with the currency of another country. You make money in the foreign exchange market if your currency value increases more than the value of the paired currency. For example if you have made a pair USD/JPY that is US Dollars and Japanese Yen, you earn profits if the value of USD increases compared to the value of JPY.
