What is forex and the forex market?
Forex (FX) is short for foreign exchange – changing one currency into another. This process can be performed for a variety of reasons including commercial, tourism and to enable international trade.
Forex is traded on the forex market, which is open to trade currencies 24 hours a day, five days a week and is used by banks, businesses, investment firms, hedge funds and retail traders.
Why forex trading?

OPPORTUNITY
The foreign exchange market has a daily trading volume of over $6 trillion, making it the most liquid in the world and an exciting place to trade. The wide range of currency pairs and leverage in CFD trading provides traders with an abundance of opportunities to potentially benefit from price fluctuations in both directions.

This continuous availability allows traders to react to global economic events and news developments as they happen, taking advantage of potential volatility, without having to wait for markets to open.
