Forex is one area of work at home opportunities that seems to be growing a great deal. People essentially buy and sell money in order to make a profit. Of course, it does get a little more detailed than that, but, when push comes to shove, it is the exchange rates that dictate a person's success in this work from home opportunity.

When you want to go on vacation to a foreign country, one of the things on the checklist of 'things-to-do' is getting your money exchanged into the local foreign currency. If you travel a lot, you probably realize that the amount of money that you get back from the currency exchange varies a lot. This is because exchange rates between countries vary - sometimes daily.

You will notice in economic reports and other financial information the exchange rate between major countries is always one of the things that is noted in the report. Work from home entrepreneurs take advantage of these fluctuations in the money markets to make large amounts of income.

As you have probably guessed - 'Forex' is the shortened form of foreign exchange. It can be a lucrative work from home opportunity for a person who enjoys the intricacies of the foreign exchange and financial markets. Large sums of money are bought and sold in foreign currencies in order to make a profit.

A basic forex transaction would look something like this:

" $100,000 of Canadian Dollars is purchased, which would cost someone from the United States roughly $88,000 (based on current rates).

" The buyer holds the currency until a point down the road where they can make money on it. Let's say the Canadian dollars rises against the American dollar by $.03 to $.91 cents. If the buyer of the currency sells at this point, they immediately make $3,000 (minus fees).

" On to the next transaction!

Of course, it is more complex than this, but the underlying principal of buying and selling currency is one that many people have taken to in order to make a nice work from home income. Add in the variety of currencies and the slightest economic fluctuations in a country and it can send a currency skyrocketing or plunging. This is what the forex traders look for.

You can make a nice income in the foreign exchange, or forex trading - with a little bit of know how. With money being traded everyday and fluctuations in currency working very similar to the stock market, you can spend your time working from home by getting into the forex markets.
