The forex market (also known at foreign exchange or currency) is one that offers a great deal of opportunity to traders. It provides access to the world’s largest market, one which trades about $3 trillion per day, 24 hours a day, from the Asian open on Monday morning (Sunday evening New York Time) through Friday’s close in New York. Some brokers even allow trading over the weekend, though that’s quite limited.
Forex trading is readily accessable to just about anyone because it doesn’t take much money to be able to trade and can be traded in many different ways.
A while back I put together a guide to explain the ins and outs of forex trading and the forex market.
