	The ABCs of the Foreign Exchange Market
		An exchange rate is simply the price of one currency in terms of another, and the market in which foreign currencies are exchanged is called the foreign exchange market.
		Exchange rates are quoted in two ways: the price of a foreign currency in terms of dollars (also called the American or direct terms), or the number of foreign-currency units per per unit of national currency (the British terms).
		This market, which accounts for 50 percent of the foreign exchange market, sets the tone for the daily activities of the market, but buyers and sellers may be exposed to foreign exchange risk.

		In a centralized market, you have the benefit of seeing volume in the market as a whole but at the same time, prices can easily be skewed to accommodate the interests of the specialist and not the trader.
		This three-step process is quite common because even though online foreign exchange trading is available, many of the large clients who deal anywhere from $10 million to $100 million at a time (cash on cash), believe that they can get better pricing dealing over the phone than over the trading platform.
