Over the last three decades the foreign exchange market has become the world's
largest financial market, with over $2.5 trillion USD traded daily. The primary
market for currencies is the 24-hour Interbank market. The Interbank market
literally follows the sun around the world, moving from major banking centers
of the United States to Australia and New Zealand to the Far East, to Europe
and finally back to the United States. Until recently the Forex market has not
been for the small speculator. With the large minimum transaction sizes and
often-stringent financial requirements, banks, hedge funds, major currency
dealers and the occasional high net-worth individual speculator were the principal
participants. These large traders were able to take advantage of the many benefits
offered by the foreign exchange market vs. other markets including fantastic
liquidity and the strong trending nature of the world's primary currency exchange rates,
now you can too!
