Trading forex using a curency ETF
(Exchange traded fund)

Most people who trade the forex markets do so through one of the many different forex brokers that are available.
however if u r interested in taking a long term view on a particular currency pair, u do have another cost efective option and thats to buy the corresponding currency ETF exchange traded fund.

If u dont already know that what an exchange traded fund is, its it bassically just a vehicle that tracks a certain instument or group of instruments. so for example a crude oil ETF will move in acordance with the underlying crude oil price and a wheat ETF will move broadly in line with the price of wheat.
plus u can of course find plenty of currency ETFs that track various diferent currency pairs, which is obviously the foccus of this article. u can find exchange traded funds for pretty much anything these days including stocks, bonds, futures and commodities.
u can cimply log in to ur share dealing acount and trade them as part of ur all investment portfolio. these intruments can be bought and sold like ordinary stocks so u dont need to use a forex broker at all.
simillary if u r bearish about the british pound against the US dollars u could buy the coresponding USD/GBP ETF or u could buy a short ETF for the GBP/USD if this is available in ur country so for example if u think the GBP/USD pair is set to move a lot higher in the coming months and years, then u may wish to buy a GBP/USD ETF and treat it as a log term investment.

however they are of course very risky because u can also lose big amounts of money as well, and overall i would say that they are more ideally suited to short term traders rather than long term traders because of the costs involved.
u have lots of options
so if the GBP/USD were to go up by 10% for example, u would make approximately 20% instead of 10% u can even buy leveraged intruments if u so wish. these work by giving u 2* ur overall gains.
they can be bought and sold really easily and they are great for anyone looking to take a long term view on a particular forex pair. anyway the pointt i want to make is that if u think a particulars curencies pair iz undervalued, or u r confident that a specific currency is really going to strenthen is the long un, then u might like to consider buying currency EFTs for ur investment portfolio........................
