What Is The Best Way To Begin Trading In The Forex Market?

What Is FOREX (Foreign Exchange) or FOREX MARKET? PART ONE

The Foreign Exchange market (commonly known as the Forex or FX market) is the world's largest financial market, with over $1.5 trillion in daily transactions.

That's bigger than the whole US equity and bond markets combined!

The global Forex market, unlike other financial markets that operate from a centralized site (such as a stock exchange), does not have a centralized location. It's a global electronic network that connects banks, financial institutions, and individual traders to purchase and sell national currencies. Another important element of the Forex market is that it is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week starting each day in Sydney, then Tokyo, London, and New York, correlating to the opening and closing of financial hubs in countries all around the world. Buyers and sellers may be found at any time and in any location, making the Forex market the most liquid in the world.

Trading currencies on the forex market is significantly different from trading currencies on the futures market, and trading stocks or commodities is a lot easier.

You are already a participant in the Forex market, whether you realize it or not. Simply having money in your pocket qualifies you as a currency investor, particularly in the US Dollar. You have chosen not to hold the currencies of other countries by holding US Dollars. Your stock, bond, and other investment purchases, as well as money put in your bank account, are all investments that rely substantially on the value of the currency in which they are denominated.
