Some of the benefits of trading the Forex market are:

Superior liquidity Liquidity is what really makes the Forex market different from other markets. The Forex market is by far the most liquid financial market in the world with nearly 2 trillion dollars traded everyday. This ensures price stability and better trade execution. Allowing traders to open and close transactions with ease. Also such a tremendous volume makes it hard to manipulate the market in an extended manner.

24hr Market This one is also one of the greatest advantages of trading Forex. It is an around the click market, the market opens on Sunday at 3:00 pm EST when New Zealand begins operations, and closes on Friday at 5:00 pm EST when San Francisco terminates operations. There are transactions in practically every time zone, allowing active traders to choose at what time to trade. Leverage trading

Trading the Forex Market offers a greater buying power than many other markets. Some Forex brokers offer leverage up to 400:1, allowing traders to have only 0.25% in margin of the total investment. For instance, a trader using 100:1 means that to have a US$100,000 position, only US$1,000 are needed on margin to be able to open that position.

Low Transaction costs Almost all brokers offer commission free trading. The only cost traders incur in any transaction is the spread (difference between the buy and sell price of each currency pair). This spread could be as low as 1 pip (the minimum increment in any currency pair) in some pairs.

Low minimum investment The Forex market requires less capital to start trading than any other markets. The initial investment could go as low as $300 USD, depending on leverage offered by the broker. This is a great advantage since Forex traders are able to keep their risk investment to the lowest level.

Specialized trading The liquidity of the market allows us to focus on just a few instruments (or currency pairs) as our main investments (85% of all trading transactions are made on the seven major currencies). Allowing us to monitor, and at the end get to know each instrument better.

Trading from anywhere If you do a lot of traveling, you can trade from anywhere in the world just having an internet connection.

Some of the most important differences between the Forex market and other markets are explained below.

Forex market vs. Equity markets

Liquidity FX market: Near two trillion dollars of daily volume. Equity market: Around 200 billion on a daily basis.

Trading hours FX market: 24hr market, 5.5 days a week Equity market: Monday through Friday from 8:30 EST to 5:00 EST

Profit potential FX market: In both, rising and falling markets. Equity market: Most traders/investor profit only from rising markets.

Transaction costs FX market: Commission free and tight spreads. Equity market: High Commissions and transaction fees.

Buying power FX market: Leverage up to 400:1 Equity market: Leverage from 2:1 to 4:1

Specialization FX market: most volume (85%) is made on major currencies (USD, EUR, JPY, GBP, CHF, CAD and AUD) Equity market: More than 40,000 stocks to choose from

Forex market vs. Futures market

Liquidity FX Market: Near two trillion dollars of daily volume. Futures market: Around 400 billion dollars on a daily basis.

Transaction costs FX market: Commission free and tight spreads. Futures market: High commissions fees.

Margin FX market: Fixed rate of margin on every position. Futures market: Different levels of margin on overnight positions than day time positions.

Trade execution FX market: Instantaneous execution. Futures market: Inconsistent execution.

All this makes the Forex market very attractive to investors and traders. But I need to make something clear, although the benefits of trading the Forex market are notorious; it is still difficult to make a successful career trading the Forex market. It requires a lot of education, discipline, commitment and patience, as any other market.

Forex 101 - Foreign Currency Exchange Trading

Forex Trading, also known as FX Trading is another way you can make money in a trading environment. Everyone has heard of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) or the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), each featuring either stock trading or options and futures trading. Forex Trading involves the buying and selling of currencies instead of stocks, bonds, options or futures. It is also different in that there is no physical floor or exchange area like there is in New York or Chicago where the above mentioned exchanges are located. The Foreign Exchange Market (FOREX) can only be accessed by phone or by electronic network. The advantage of not having a central location, but instead having an electronic network, is that the Forex can operate 24 hours a day. In fact, it is open for trading all day and night during work days, roughly 5 days a ... [Read more]

Forex For Beginners – Making Money From Currency Trading

Forex market started in the 1970’s and that is when floating of currencies and free exchange rates began. Like share prices, it is the people who traded in the Forex market that affects the prices of the currencies traded in accordance to the law of supply and demand. Hence, if the market force dictates, e.g. if the US Federal Reserve decides to raise interest rates to curb inflation while Australia Reserve Bank have the interest rate on hold, that should stimulate a change in exchange rate. One should therefore see interest rate effect with the US $ worth more in value than AUD when this hap... [Read more]
