Learn The Advantages of Forex Trading

By Bart Icles

With a daily volume of more than 3.2 million U.S. dollars, the foreign exchange is indisputably the most liquid financial market in the world. Simply put, it is the trading of almost all the currencies in the world. Since forex trading involves selling and buying different currencies from all over the world and profiting from the differences of the current exchange rates, it can yield high profits. This is a very good advantage especially if you're looking to earn big, however, the disadvantage in playing in the forex market is that is can also be very risky. This is because forex trading is speculative in nature, that is, a lot of its activities are largely based on guided speculations, and there is only a low percentage of market activity that represent companies' and governments' fundamental currency conversion needs.

Forex trading is directly taking place between the two entities who are necessary participants to make a trade possible. It can take place over the phone or over the electronic networks all over the globe. The main forex trading centers are New York in the United States, Tokyo in Japan, Sydney in Australia, Frankfurt in Germany, and London in the United Kingdom. Having these centers in place makes sure that the forex market is trading 24 hours.

Gauging whether putting your stake in the forex market is worth it or not can be done when one is given enough education on the advantages and disadvantages that the forex market entails. Some of its advantages are: 1. The liquidity of the forex market is like no other. This ensures price stability and narrow "spreads," that is, the difference between the asking rate and the bid. 2. It showcases a high leveraging capacity which enables one to have a position worth up to a hundred times more than one's margin deposit. 3. Trading occurs 24 hours, from Sunday evening (8:00 PM GMT) to Friday evening (10:00 pm GMT). This gives one the much-needed opportunity to be able to do something about bad news affecting the forex markets. 4. There is profit potential even in falling markets. Since forex trading is very dynamic in nature, there are a lot of opportunities to earn profits. Say for example the USD is stronger against the EUR and vice versa, you can sell EUR and you can buy it back later at a lower price. 5. Forex trading occurs without parties having commissions. DISADVANTAGE: 1. Since it is a very dynamic market, it can present a high risk if one does not watch it too closely.

Having a forex trading system shouldn't be complicated. Once a system works, one should keep using it. - 23208
