What Is Forex?

Forex stands for foreign exchange market, which is an international over the counter financial market. Traders and investors from all around the world can trade different currencies there and use market prices movements to make profits.
Forex is an amazing financial market as it has a liquidity of $3.2 trillion dollars, which is an unmatched liquidity by any other financial market. Due to this feature, forex markets offer remarkable opportunities for making profit, regardless of market volatility and of market prices going up or down as it is the case with stocks, options, bonds or futures.
What was once bankers’ secret money transfer market, has recently become available for all interested traders.  Online trading platforms can be accessed from the comfort of their homes, with leveraged accounts that allow great returns with limited funds.
