A cambist is an expert in foreign exchange.
In the old days, a cambist relied on interpreting books of information about exchange rates between various currencies. The term comes from the Latin root word for "to change."
Thanks to the advent of technology and instantaneous, widespread availability of exchange rates, a cambist is now just a term to describe currency trades or other foreign exchange professionals.
