If you’ve ever traveled internationally, whether you know it or not, you’ve touched on the world of forex trading. When you stepped off the airplane, one of your first stops probably was to exchange your money for the local currency. So, what is forex trading all about?
The foreign exchange market, also referred to as forex or FX, is the global currency trading market, and it’s the largest, most liquid financial market in the world.
When trading forex, currencies are actually traded in pairs. For example, the Australian dollar and the US dollar (AUD/USD) or the euro and the Japanese yen (EUR/JPY).
Here are some of the features/benefits of forex trading:
