Introduction to Forex

Boasting over $5 trillion in average daily turnover, the Forex market is the world’s largest marketplace. Its primary function is to facilitate the trading activities of forex currency market participants. Products are traded in currency pairs, with each value providing a direct representation of one nation’s money against that of another. Classified as majors, minors, and exotics, their combination creates a wealth of forex trading options. No matter what type of trader you are, a scalper, day trader, swing trader, or long-term investor, actively engaging in forex trading is an opportune way to pursue your financial goals. Read our Introduction to Forex for an all-encompassing introduction to the Forex world.
