The Forex Market is the
largest, most liquid market in the world with over $1.5 trillion
USD traded daily.
The Forex Market is open 24 hours a day
5 ½ days a week.
It starts with the Asian market on Sunday afternoon, moves on to
the European market and then to the American market and continues
to overlap daily until it finally ends with the American market
on Friday afternoon.
Forex trading accounts are commission free, however please note the FCM and RB are compensated for their services through the bid/ask
spread. Accounts can be opened with as little as $50 and offer 50-to-1 leverage for domestic accounts and 100-to-1 leverage for international accounts. (Please note without proper risk management, this high degree of leverage can lead to
large losses as well as gains.)
The Forex trader can focus on 4 to 10 currency pairs compared
to the thousands of possibilities when trading stocks.
