The whole idea behind currency trading is to buy or sell one particular currency and expect the price to move in your favour. Whether the price moves up or down, you can make money, even when prices drop or the economy falls.
A person who trades currencies is known as a Forex Trader. This is because the currency market is also known as the 'Foreign Exchange' market or the 'Forex' market. Traders also refer to it as the spot or cash market. Over 2 trillion dollars change hands in this market every day.
