What Does Forex Trading Mean and What Are Forex CFDs?
什么是外汇交易，什么是外汇差价合约？
Forex trading (also commonly known as Foreign Exchange, currency or FX trading) is a global market for trading one country’s currency in exchange for another country's currency. It serves as the backbone of international trade and investment: imports and exports of goods and services; financial transactions by governments, economic institutions or individuals; global tourism and travel – all these require the use of capital in the form of swapping one currency for a certain amount of another currency.
When trading Forex CFDs, you are essentially speculating on the price changes in their exchange rate. For example, in the EUR/USD pair the value of one Euro (EUR) is determined in comparison to the US dollar (USD), and in the GBP/JPY pair the value of one British pound sterling (GBP) is quoted against the Japanese yen (JPY).
If you think the exchange rate will rise you can open a ‘Buy’ position. Conversely, if you think the exchange rate will fall you can open a ‘Sell’ position.

外汇交易（也称为外汇、货币或FX交易）是一个国家货币兑换另一个国家货币的全球市场。它是国际贸易和投资的支柱：货物和服务的进出口；政府、经济机构或个人的金融交易；全球旅游业和旅行——所有这些都需要以一种货币兑换另一种货币的形式使用资本。
交易外汇CFD，您本质上是对汇率变动进行推测。例如，在 欧元/美元 货币对中，一欧元（EUR）的价值通过对比美元（USD）进行确定，在 英镑/日元 货币对中，一英镑斯特林的价值（GBP）通过对比日元（JPY）进行报价。
如果您认为汇率会上涨，您可以开启一个‘买入’ 仓位。相反，如果您认为汇率会下跌，您可以开启一个‘卖出’仓位。
