What is Forex?

Concept of Forex

Forex is part of the bank-to-bank currency market known as the 24-hour Interbank market. The Interbank market literally follows the sun around the world, moving from major banking centres of the United States to Australia, New Zealand to the Far East, to Europe then back to the United States.

Unlike other financial markets, the Forex market has no physical location, no central exchange. It operates through an electronic network of banks, corporations and individuals trading one currency for another. The lack of a physical exchange enables the Forex market to operate on a 24-hour basis, spanning from one zone to another across the major financial centres. Traditionally, investors' only means of gaining access to the foreign exchange market was through banks that transacted large amounts of currencies for commercial and investment purposes. Trading volume has increased rapidly over time, especially after exchange rates were allowed to float freely in 1971.

The Forex market is open 24 hours a day, 5.5 days a week. Because of the decentralized clearing of trades and overlap of major markets in Asia, London and the United States, the market remains open and liquid throughout the day and overnight.

Do you want to become rich? We have nothing against it, and we'll be pleased to help you with that. For the information of those who do not know it yet, FOREX (FOReign EXchange market) is an international exchange market, where money is sold and bought freely. Speculations on the FOREX exchange market give the biggest profit of all legal types of transactions!!
