What is Forex?

Foreign Exchange (FOREX) is the arena where a nation's currency is exchanged for that of another. The foreign exchange market is the largest financial market in the world, with the equivalent of over $1.9 trillion changing hands daily; more than three times the aggregate amount of the US Equity and Treasury markets combined. Unlike other financial markets, the Forex market has no physical location and no central exchange (off-exchange). It operates through a global network of banks, corporations and individuals trading one currency for another. The lack of a physical exchange enables the Forex market to operate on a 24-hour basis, spanning from one zone to another in all the major financial centers. Traditionally, retail investors' only means of gaining access to the foreign exchange market was through banks that transacted large amounts of currencies for commercial and investment purposes. Trading volume has increased rapidly over time, especially after exchange rates were allowed to float freely in 1971. Today, importers and exporters, international portfolio managers, multinational corporations, speculators, day traders, long-term holders and hedge funds all use the FOREX market to pay for goods and services, transact in financial assets or to reduce the risk of currency movements by hedging their exposure in other markets. MG Financial, now operating in over 100 countries, serves all manner of clients, comprising speculators and strategic traders. Whether it’s day-traders looking for short-term gains, or fund managers wanting to hedge their non-US assets, MG's DealStation™ allows them to participate in FOREX trading by providing a combination of live quotes, Real-Time charts, and news and analysis that attracts traders with an orientation towards fundamental and/or technical analysis.

Top 10 pop songs Lyrics

1. Coldplay - "Viva La Vida"
Songwriters Guy Berryman, Jonny Buckland, Will Champion, and Chris Martin

I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you'd gone there was never
Never an honest wordAnd that was when I ruled the world

2.Kid Rock - "All Summer Long"

Songwriters Edward King, Kid Rock, Gary Rossington, Uncle Kracker, Ronnie Van Zant, Robert Wachtel, and Warren Zevon

It was 1989, my thoughts were short
my hair was long
Caught somewhere between a boy
and man
She was seventeen and she was far
from in-between
It was summertime in Northern
Michigan

Splashing through the sand bar
Talking by the campfire
It's the simple things in life, like when
and where
We didn't have no Internet
But man I never will forget
The way the moonlight shined upon
her hair


3. Pink - "So What"
Songwriters Pink, Max Martin, and Shellback

I guess I just lost my husband
I don't know where he went
So I'm gonna drink my moneyI'm not gonna pay his rent
I've got a brand new attitude,
And I'm gonna wear it tonight
I'm gonna get in trouble
I wanna start a fight

4. Adele - "Chasing Pavements"

Songwriters Adele Adkins and Eg White

I'd build myself up
And fly around in circles,
Waiting as my heart drops,
And my back begins to tingle
Finally could this be it

Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere

5. Death Cab for Cutie - "I Will Possess Your Heart"

Songwriters Ben Gibbard, Chris Walla, Jason McGerr, and Nicholas Harmer

How I wish you could see the
potential,
the potential of you and me.
It's like a book elegantly bound but,
in a language that you can't read.
Just yet.

You gotta spend some time, Love.
You gotta spend some time with me.
And I know that you'll find, Love
I will possess your heart.

6. Estelle featuring Kanye West - "American Boy"

Songwriters William Adams, Keith Harris, Josh Lopez, Caleb Speir, Estelle Swaray, and Kanye West

Can we get away this weekend?
Take me to Broadway
Let's go shopping maybe then we'll go
to a Cafe
Let's go on the subway
Take me to your hood
I neva been to
Brooklyn and I'd like to
see what's good

7. Taylor Swift - "Love Story"

Songwriter Taylor Swift

Romeo, save me
I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you, but you never
come
Is this in my head
I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out
a ring
And saidMarry me,
Juliet, you'll never have to be
alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad
Go pick out a white dress
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes

8. Jason Mraz - "I'm Yours"

Songwriter Jason Mraz

I've been spending way too
long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to
try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I
laughed
I guess what I'll be saying is there
ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanity and just go
with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue

9. The Killers - "Human"

Songwriters Brandon Flowers, Dave Keuning, Mark Stoermer, and Ronnie Vannucci Jr.

Are we human, or are we dancer
My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I'm on my knees looking for
the answer
Are we human, or are we dancer

10. Yael Naim - "New Soul"

Songwriter Yael Naim

I'm a new soul
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit 'bout how to
give and take
But since I came here, felt the joy and
the fear
Finding myself making every possible
mistake
