Forex is like a giant global marketplace that never sleeps, where people trade money the same way others trade goods. Instead of buying products, you buy currencies — like USD/ZAR or EUR/USD — hoping to profit as their prices rise and fall. Think of it as swapping your rands for dollars before a trip, then swapping back later when the dollar is stronger and you get more money than you started with. That difference is your profit. The market moves because of world news, politics, and economic changes, which makes forex exciting, fast-paced, and full of opportunity — but also risky if you’re not careful.
