About Forex
The Forex market has quickly become the world's largest financial market, with an estimate daily turnover of $3.2
trillion. It is a market that has great appeal to a financial trader because of its volume which guarantees liquidity.
High liquidity means that a trader can trade whatever currencies he feels like at all times, since there will always
be someone to buy and sell any currency he wants. Another outstanding feature of the forex market is that it is
active 24 hours a day and is closed only on the weekends. This means that unlike the stock market for example,
traders in the forex market don't need to wait for a bell to ring, but can make trading decisions around the clock.
Enter the internet into the equation. Now the forex market is literally at your fingertips. Most brokers offer online
trading facilities which enable you to trade simply by clicking a button, instead of the traditional phone call. The
internet has really revolutionized the industry, making the retail section of the market more dominant than ever.
