Introduction to Forex
The purpose of this overview is to introduce the forex market to you. As with many markets there are many derivative of the central market such as futures, options and forwards. In these tutorials we will be discussing the main market sometimes referred to as the Spot or Cash market.
The word "FOREX" is derived from the words Foreign Exchange and is the largest financial market in the world. Unlike many markets the FX market is open 24 hours per day and has an estimated $3.2 Trillion in turnover every day.
This tremendous turnover is more than the combined turnover of the main worlds stock markets on any given day. This tends to lead to a very liquid market and thus a desirable market to trade.
Unlike many other securities (any financial instrument that can be traded) the FX market does not have a fixed exchange. It is primarily traded through banks, brokers, dealers, financial institutions and private individuals.
Trades are executed through phone and increasingly through the Internet.
