Uses of mathematics in FX trading

Hi,

I just wanted to find out, slightly in detail of some examples of how maths is used in FX trading. I've done some research and either a) I can't find what I'm looking for or b) it's really complicated and long winded. What I've found so far is the use of standard deviation in representing the volatility of currencies, which produces candle sticks?! :s-smilie:

Could someone please explain some other uses, in a simplified way? Does the GARCH process have any relevance? I know it's used to assess risk, but for trading of currencies?!:confused:

Thank you :smile:
