A typical trade made on a Forex market involves swapping an amount of one currency for an amount of a different currency.

In the last decade, there’s been an explosion in the volume of the forex market. Current estimates by a variety of worldwide banking institutions place the average daily turnover at around the equivalent of 4 trillion USD.

The Forex market is similar to stock markets in some means, but differs greatly in others. The biggest deviation is how widely dispersed the players in the market are. This is a worldwide market and includes currency from nearly all country in the world.

In the Forex markets, there are levels of access that depend on the amount you’ve to trade. Banks make up the highest level and trading between them is usually a secret affair. Behind banks are large corporations, investment funds, trading groups and brokers, and all the way down individual people.
