The Foreign Exchange Market also known as Forex is not another money making scam. This is a legitimate business available to anyone who wants to buy or sell currencies.

The Currency Exchange market is without a doubt the biggest financial market in the world. Three trillion dollars are traded every day, this volume is huge compared to the stock market. Many would say trading currencies is a lot better than trading stocks.

The volume of the Forex market is so big that trades are executed instantly, and so liquidity is a major advantage over the Stock Market where you have to wait for trades to be executed. Major currencies are being traded every day like the Euro and the US Dollar along with many other important currencies in the world.

Another good advantage is the hours, FX Currency trading opens Sunday evening and closes Friday night so there is a vast opportunity to trade currencies in the late hours or the early hours of the day, for example the London market opens at 3 AM while the US market opens at 9 and the Tokyo market opens in the evening so there is always an opportunity to place trades.

Leverage is another very good advantage of FX trading; with fairly small capital the trader is able to manage large amounts of money, for example with as little as $50 you are able to manage $10,000, so the potential is huge for big profits and it’s also huge for big loses so practicing, and learning is a must in the FX market.

There are many online Forex brokers available. Most of these brokers offer demo accounts to learn all the fundamentals of currency trading before committing with real money.

Many see quick cash with Forex trading. There is potential for profit but it will not be quick, one has to practice a lot and a lot more before trading with real money. IF enough practice is not taken then the potential for loses is highly enhanced.
