The Forex Market

The Foreign Exchange market which is often referred to as the “Forex” or “Forex markets” is the largest, most liquid, most transparent financial market in the world. Daily average turnover has now exceeded 2 trillion USD. All the U.S. equity markets combined do not reach 3% of the total volume traded on the Forex market.

Unlike other financial markets, where for the most part you can only profit in rising markets, in the Forex market whenever one enters into a position he is long (bought) one currency and short (sold) another currency simultaneously which means as opposed to other cyclical financial markets in the Forex markets there are endless opportunities.
