1. Forex Trading – Introduction

Forex Trading

Forex Market is an exciting place. The one good thing about entering into the forex market
is that you can trade anytime as per your convenience.

The global Foreign exchange market (‘FX’, ‘Forex’ or ‘FOREX’) is the largest market in the
world as measured by the daily turnover with more than US$5 trillion a day eclipsing the
combined turnover of the world’s stock and bond markets. The forex market measuring a
propelling turnover is one of the many reasons why so many private investors and
individual traders have entered the market. The investors have discovered several
advantages many of which are not available in the other markets.

What is Forex?

Forex (in simple terms, currency) is also called the foreign exchange, FX or currency
trading. It is a decentralized global market where all the world’s currencies trade with each

corporates and private individual who require currency exchange services are spread
around the world, so trading on the forex market never stops. Activity on the forex market
follows the sun around the world, so right from the Monday morning opening in Australia
to the afternoon close in New York. At any point of the day you can find an active pair to
trade.

Long or Short

A trader in forex can trade both ways. It means a forex trader can play the market and
make profits irrespective of whether market is going up, down or is in tight range. So
irrespective of the event that has triggered the movement – forex traders do not care.

Low transaction cost

Most forex accounts trade with little or no commission and there is no exchange or data
