FX, Forex, foreign-exchange market, currency market - all these terms are synonyms that refer to the Forex market.

Trading Forex involves the buying of one currency and simultaneous selling of another. In Forex, traders attempt to profit by buying and selling currencies and actively speculating on the direction currencies are likely to take in the future.

Forex trading is considered as one of the largest and most liquid markets in the world. According to a recent triennial report from the Bank for International Settlements (a global bank for national central banks), the dollar amount of daily transactions in the Forex market is around USD 5 trillion and $1.5 trillion of this amount comes from spot trading. The large dimensions of the market makes finding buyers and sellers fast and easy, allowing for a dynamic investing process. This volatility can be difficult because of the limited decision time, that is why dedicated investor teams tend to be more successful than “side traders”.

There are three ways that corporations, individuals and institutions trade Forex: the spot market, the Forex market, and the futures market. At our company we focus on the spot market, because the forwards and futures markets are used more actively by companies that need to hedge their foreign exchange risks out to a specific date in the future.

The spot market is where currencies are bought and sold at their current price. This price, among other things, can be influenced by the economic performance of representing countries, local and international political situations, as well as the seeming future performance of currencies against one another. These factors, combined with many others, create daily speculations and communal perspectives, which in turn create volatility for the Forex market. Expert investors like the Everforward Invest Ltd team can analyse and utilize this volatility and profit from both interest rate differentials and changes in exchange rate.

Digital exchange, also referred to as the digital currency exchange or the cryptocurrency exchange, is a digital marketplace that allows customers, be it businesses or individuals, to trade cryptocurrencies. They can be exchanged for conventional fiat currencies or other digital currencies.

Cryptocurrencies have seen a great surge in both value an sortiment of available positions to invest. This market has become especially popular among investors that prefer trading short term - on price movements.

Currently there are more than 1 500 different cryptocurrencies that can all be traded. Since it is imperative that investors are experts in the price movements and trends of the currency they are planning to trade with, the ability to compartmentalize, research independently, and then combine the knowledge as a team is key to our ability to execute high return yielding trades.

The crypto market consists of a lot of small players and potential unicorns in the making. Because of this, public outlook on individual coins as well as the market itself is vital. Even more so than with Forex markets, this is a market of information and perception. This means, that prices are influenced by media coverage, government regulations and concerns over them, even statements from influencers in the crypto and business fields.

Strong knowledge of the field and continuous research are the cornerstones of our investing approach, and this approach allows us to successfully trade cryptocurrencies in short term, making a sizeable profit on the volatility of the market.

Fiat money is centralized and its’ printing and distribution is controlled by the government and its’ central bank. Cryptocurrencies and - in our case more specifically - bitcoin is a decentralized currency. Which means it has no main governing entity that is responsible for the distribution and creation of bitcoin.

That is where bitcoin mining comes into play. Bitcoin mining is the process of using special software to solve math equations that are ever growing in complexity. What these miners effectively do is help secure the network by approving recent transactions with their computational power. In return they receive a certain number of bitcoins in exchange. This is how new bitcoins are made.

The process does seem relatively simple, however there is an answer to the obvious question of why isn’t everyone mining bitcoin if it is simply a question of running a software.

What these miners ar actually doing is trying to be the first miner to come up with a 64-digit hexadecimal number (also known as "hash") that is less than or equal to the target hash. For lack of a better word this is guesswork in the digital form. Since the total number of possible guesses is on the order of trillions, bitcoin mining becomes an arduous and computing power consuming activity.

That is why investing funds like Everforward Invest Ltd are suited for bitcoin mining. By merging our investors’ funds, Everforward Invest Ltd is able to buy into large bitcoin mining pools with high hash rates. That way we can grant our customers access to this low risk investment method and strengthen our investment portfolio as a whole, as well as help the Bitcoin industry.
