Phermones as defined in Wikipedia - a chemical that triggers a natural behavioral response in another member of the same species. There are alarm pheromones, food trail pheromones, sex pheromones, and many others that affect behavior or physiology. Their use among insects has been particularly well documented, although many vertebrates and plants also communicate using pheromones."
In laymans terms, phermones are a naturally occurring chemical produced by insects, animals and people. Just like how sweat glands are produced with certain activities. When these chemicals are secreted, they influence sexual behavior and attract the opposite sex.
Phermones are odorless. They are an integral part in sexual communication. Mostly they come along with perspiration but they can also come in the saliva and tears. What they do, is give signals to the opposite sex's subconscious awareness regarding the sexual status of the person giving them out - the mood, health, virility, etc. For males, a dominant, aggressive, and testosterone filled person will excrete phermones in larger amounts thus will be chosen over more times than a male who is submissive. For females, the more feminine behavior will attract males.
There has been studies too that suggest that phermones can travel great distances. For example, in the animal kingdom, they use phermones to mark their territory. With female animals, when they are in heat, the resulting phermones produced, attract males of the same species even from great distances. I had a dog once who had frequent visitors waiting in front of the house every time she was in heat.
Although there has been a lot of skepticism regarding the existence of human phermones, there have been multiple studies done by scientists, universities, media, and even everyday people to see the effect of phermones. Thru this research, the human phermone - Androstenone - was discovered. This is a male phermone to attract women.
It was discovered that this male phermone comes along with perspiration. It is ironic that something which attracts, comes with something that is unattractive. With a lot of our modern commercialized cleaning and bathing, males have cleaned themselves out of our naturally occurring attractor. It is still unclear on why evolution has chosen to put sweat and phermones together.
So what can a guy do from here? Not exercise proper grooming and hygiene?
This is where the advent of commercialized phermone colognes and perfumes came about. These manufacturers claimed to have isolated the naturally occurring phermones of both males and females and mixed it with pleasantly smelling concoctions.
In order to develop a full understanding of forex trading and why it is even possible, you need to understand a little bit about the history of money. In early human societies, goods were traded for goods. If you had anything that was of value to someone else, then you had currency. While this system worked reasonably well for thousands of years, there were also some obvious drawbacks.
As communities began to grow and trade with each other, they found that it was hard to place a determinate value on each good. It also became apparent that more than one party needed to be involved in some trades to make them profitable and beneficial for each party. The modern system of money, and eventually forex trading, was born out of the answer to this problem.
The ability to equate value with an object that was otherwise useless was the first real step towards developing currency. If you think about it, the $20 piece of paper in your pocket has no inherent value; it's only valuable because the government says that it is. That was the challenge that these early cultures faced. How to determine what had value, and how much value, was a question that took many generations of development to work out. At the heart of forex trading are the solutions that they developed.
Forex trading involves the exchange of two base currencies. Anyone can do this. The point of trading foreign exchange currency is to make money though, so it must be done with some planning. The ability to predict the world economy and realize that at some point in the future, the value of the foreign currency that you just traded for must go up is what separates good investors from those who go broke.
Forex trading involves a cross. The cross is formed by the two currencies being traded. There are a few currencies that are considered majors. These are the largest players on the world stage and make up the majority of crosses traded. A few examples of majors are the U.S. Dollar, the Euro, and the Yen. Each of these currencies, and the economies that they represent, set the stage for and the value of the rest of the world's currencies.
Finding a stable standard of value is what makes forex trading profitable. If one nation were to decide suddenly that their currency held no value, then the market would collapse around it. Perhaps this is why the six nations that make up the majors are the most widely traded. Their economies have proven to be stable and the value of their currency is strong. People have agreed that currency is worth something and in fact, worth having. That is the basic operating principle of finance and it is the driving force behind what make foreign exchange trading profitable.
