Well, they come in two flavors, FLEXIBLE or FIXED. In the Flexible Forex Rate System, the central bank is responsible for adjusting the exchange rate according to supply and demand.
The Fixed Forest Rate is my more rigid in that currencies are fixed to each other at a determined rate. The central bank then acts as buffer in order to maintain the market value of the currency.
So if the price of foreign currency increases, the Central Bank must sell that currency in order to avoid any price increase. Conversely, in the even that there is a decrease in the market currency value so will the Central Bank need to purchase additional currency in order to maintain a stable market price.
To understand this better, the foreign exchange is like a pendulum with prices swinging from one side to another. The goal of the Central Bank is to ensure that the pendulum doesn’t move and if it does to buy or sell in order that all the movements come to an end.

Or lots of them.. In fact way more than lots of them since the Forex market in the biggest market in the financial world and that’s just not here but throughout the world. If you ever wondered why exchange and forex traders seemed to be rolling in it, it’s because they really are!
It is a market so large that you would need 12 zeros after the digit 2 to get an idea of how large it is and that’s just the figure for a single daily turnover.

The Forex market is an over the counter market with no physical location, central exchange and or clearing houses. Indeed, all it is, is an electronic network of banks, corporations and individuals purchasing, “trading”, currencies from one another. Open 24 hours a day, it is uniquely suited to both end of the business spectrum, namely corporate institutions and independent or at home traders.
These Forex Traders, or FX traders negotiate prices each is prepared to buy and sell and these values are then fed into computers to be displayed on official quote screens.
