Lesson 1

The term forex (also known as “FX”) refers to the Foreign Currency Exchange Market that is facilitated by thousands International Banks, and within which thousands of small and large speculators participate. On a daily basis, this global market place exchanges in excess of USD13,200,000,000,000 (that’s more than three trillion!) across various currencies making it the most liquid market on Earth.

The forex market has greater volume than three times the combined size of the US Equity and US Treasury markets, and in stark contrast to other financial markets the forex market is truly global. That is, floating currencies exist in the forex market without a physical location or a central exchange. When you use a benchmark such as The New York Stock Exchange, with a daily trading volume of approximately USD30 billion a day, you can begin to appreciate the true magnitude of forex.

There are many advantages for a speculator who participates in the largest and most liquid market on Earth: While relatively new to the retail market, forex offers financial opportunities to entrepreneur and investor alike, with easy access to the means for earning a profit.

Forex is facilitated by an electronic network of banks, of large corporations, of institutional investing entities, and also of individuals – all exchanging one currency for another among themselves. Without the impediment of a centralised exchange, the forex market operates 24 hours per day, literally spanning from one time zone to the next across all the major financial centres of the globe. The global size and structure of the forex market also makes it less likely to be controlled or manipulated.

Well then, how is it that so few people have been exposed to sound information on this market? Prior to early 1997, the most significant reason was that trading of the forex market was simply not accessible to the public. Until then only banks, financial institutions, corporate entities, and high net worth individuals could participate. But now, all of that has changed! At first the astute investors and entrepreneurs entered the market with vigour, closely followed by the general public as they too caught on to the potential of trading the forex market for profit and cash flow.

By now, many forex brokers offer low minimum account balances, tiny increments of trade, and free online trading software: all of which have resulted in nearly anyone with an internet connection and a couple hundred dollars being capable of entering this market with instant access to considerable leverage2 “on tap”.

This has lead to a diverse range of options for participants, including managed services and self-trading opportunities. Also in the mix, are technical and fundamental trading rules, as well as a portfolio of trading robots and signal services.

All of this provides you with a readily accessible opportunity to participate in the largest and most liquid global market place, where you can exploit the privileges previously only enjoyed by large institutions.
