The Forex market surpasses all other markets in its daily turnover volume. Where the world securities market is estimated to have a $300 billion dollar volume daily, the Forex market has an average of $1.5 trillion dollars changing hands every day. As impressive as that is, the sheer liquidity of the market is a persuasive factor in converting traders to the Forex market.
The immensity of this market makes it alluring to both small investors and big investors alike. Rightly so, too, since any investor is on an equal playing field when it comes to costs and the unlimited trading potential of a 24 hour market. As a world wide network of banks, large corporations and individuals all trading currencies around the clock, the Forex market boasts fair grounds for trading. No one fund or bank has the capacity in the Forex market to control any particular currency. The stock market varies greatly from the Forex on this matter in that it is rather susceptible to the purchasing and selling of large funds. As a market with no central trading post, the Forex market is open to everyone. It can be accessed online and trades can be made through the Internet when they most matter. There's no waiting to discover that things have changed since the market closed, because with the Forex market, all hours are potential trading hours.
