The most effective way to make a profit from currency exchange rates is to identify exchange rates that are trending in one direction, and invest accordingly. For example, if you notice that the Canadian dollar vs US dollar exchange rate has been increasing steadily over the past few days, you could purchase US dollars when the exchange rate is favorable, and then sell them when the rate increases further. Alternatively, you could buy an option contract for Canadian dollars or use another speculative strategy if currency trading isn't something you’re comfortable with.

Manipulating currency exchange rates can be done through a variety of mechanisms. For example, if you believe that the value of the US Dollar versus the Chinese Yuan will increase in the near future, you could purchase Yuan now and sell it later at a higher rate. Conversely, if you expect the values to drop then you should wait to buy or sell accordingly. Additionally, one can trade currencies using derivatives such as futures and options in order to better hedge their risks while also taking advantage of potential arbitrage opportunities. In addition to simply trading currencies, there are also ways in which an individual or institution can provide liquidity to the market or even manipulate prices using discretionary actions like central banks take when setting interest rates.
