The Forex market

is the world’s largest financial market, with volumes estimated at nearly $4 trillion every day – that’s more than the Stock and Futures markets combined.  With currency markets operating 24 hours a day, constantly driven by news, economic and political factors, Forex trading presents unrivalled opportunities for traders and investors. 

If you’ve ever exchanged money while traveling to another country, you have made a Forex trade – for instance, you sold your US dollars to buy Euros.  Online Forex trading works the same way: currencies are always traded one against another, with one currency bought (long) and the other simultaneously sold (short). The most popular currency pairs, called the Majors, are combinations of the US dollar with the euro, Japanese yen, pound sterling, Australian dollar, Canadian dollar and the Swiss franc.
