I’m learning about the foreign exchange market and I’m starting to understand it better but I’m still mad confused about certain things. I know my questions might come off as stupid but I'm still learning. 

1. I know when different countries exchange goods, if the USA has to buy goods from the UK using the UK currency and then the forex market gives them the relevant exchange rate. The US can “fix” the Future exchange rate by buying on a forward contract. But why does the forex market’s exchange rate need to be fixed? Is the forex market’s exchange rate not exact? 

2. The buying company can fix the exchange rate but they’ll miss out on savings if the market moves in their favor. Would the market move in their favor if the price of USD in British Pounds winds up being cheaper? Or am I wrong? 

3. This would be the currency pair USD/GBP. Would the market go up or down if the US to UK conversion is cheaper? Or am I missing something?

I plugged it up and the light is red for about 20-30 seconds and then the light goes away completely. I tried a different, new charger I just brought and still the same thing. What’s going on?

I have my own phone that i paid for and pay the bill for every month. It’s in my name. I’m 17 and live in texas. Is my mom legally allowed to take my phone and look through it? And if I say no, is she allowed to call the police on me and get me arrested because I won’t give her my phone? Some say yes because I’m a minor but some say no because she didn’t pay for it. 

And if they do find THC, will they tell my mom? I live in the US. 

I just brought a new laptop to produce music using FL studio. The laptop did not say what version the software was, just the name of it which is it MacBook Pro 15.4”. FL studio only works on Macbooks with versions 10.13 or higher but mine says on “About this Mac” that it’s only 10.10. I spent hundreds of dollars on this computer and I really don’t wanna have to return it but I only brought it because it’s compatible with FL studio (so I can produce my music). Is it possible I can update it and get it to 10.13 so I can use FL studio, or do I have to get another computer? Please don’t judge me I’m not the smartest when it comes to computer things.
