How does it work???

HI! I am new here.. Could someone explain me HOW DOES IT ALL WORK? http://www2.oanda.com/ubb/smile.gif I mean, the technical things. For example: I click Buy, the signal goes to the Dealking Room (right?) and what than??? does a platform really exchange money? If I buy 100,000$ (leverage 50:1), do they exchange all this money or only 2000? I think they have to make a transaction on interbank market, but I don't know how does it exactly work?
Sorry for the trivial question, but I am just curious

Hey there

I strongly suggest that you take a forex course or two. Also, look and read every post under the beginners section.

Use the search feature on the left and search for answers to questions before asking any on the forum. You will be surprised how much time you will save by doing your own research rather than asking questions.

Check out the rules under FAQ, many people are banned for not abiding by the rules. These are good to know.

I sent you a PM with a link to a course related to the forex

Welcome to the best forex forum and good luck

The quick and dirty of it is NO...it doesn't happen exactly this way.

Ideally, you'd think it would, but not really...

Orders are typically held on the books at the brokerage until a suitable hedge can be found...once that hedge (either an existing client order, or a book-order traded directly by the broker) is found (which can happen within seconds), then the orders can be held until one is closed, or one or the other is sold at a good price to a higher tier at their liquidity provider.

This is how I understand a lot of retail brokers to work.
