What is Forex Trading

Forex Trading is the foreign exchange market (currency, forex, or FX) trading in currencies. Quite simply, forex trading allows banks and other institutions to easily buy and sell currencies.
The foreign exchange market is unique because of

• its trading volumes,
• the extreme liquidity of the market,
• its geographical dispersion,
• its long trading hours: 24 hours a day except on weekends
• the variety of factors that affect exchange rates.
• profits can be high due to very large trading volumes

The Forex Trading market is a non-stop cash market where currencies of nations are traded, typically via brokers. Foreign currencies are constantly and simultaneously bought and sold across local and global markets and traders' investments increase or decrease in value based upon currency movements. Foreign exchange market conditions can change at any time in response to real-time events.
