Currency JPY refers to Japanese Yen currency. Generally it is traded on forex markets. Forex market is short for foreign exchange. Currencies are also traded on commodities markets. Commodities are as well also known as futures and are traded over a period of time.

In commodities currency the trades are in durations up to three months. The buyer pays a deposit on entry into trade. The deposit will vary from 1% – 3% usually of the lot value. Lot is the least size the market recognises. At the finish of 3 months if the traded has not exited the trade he will have to pay the balance outstanding of 97% – 99% (being the remainder in view of the fact that the deposit has been paid). The price for the exit trade is the last price of the 3 month trade. Once the balance has been paid the trader will receive the lot of the currency JPY. Most traders will not wish for this outcome and will exit the trade before expiration of trade.

This means that if you entered the trade by buying currency JPY at 120.00 Yen and the expiry price is 130.00 yen you will pay the 130.00 yen for the remainder outstanding.

In contrast forex market does not have a time lit and the deposit is 1%. Minimum trade lot is 100,000 units and this is termed 1 lot. Traders who trade in JPY currency no matter whether buying or selling never intend to pay the 99% balance. Their aim is to make money on price change. In other words when you look at currency JPY you are looking just at the pattern of the market price. If the price moves up and trader has a long position he will earn a profit if he sells. In straightforward terms it is about guessing the trend of the price movement and trading accordingly.

Those who hold large interest in particular currencies in particular currencies will tend to trade those currencies regularly to insure or hedge as it is often called. Japanese exporters constantly want currency JPY to fall since they will be paid more when they sell the exports. Conversely importers of Japanese products want currency JPY to rise so they pay a smaller amount when they buy the goods.

To add to the mix, governments trade currencies to keep up their projected balance of trade payments. Frequently the institution in charge of country currency such as Fed reserve will trade its own currency to achieve a price they are looking for. They may buy a lot of their own currency in order to prop up the currency or sell it when the price is too high.
