“What is FOREX”

What is FOREX?

• The Foreign Exchange market, also referred to as "Forex" or "Retail Forex“ or "FX"

• "Spot FX" or just "Spot" is the largest financial market in the world, with a volume of more than $6 trillion a day.

• If you compare that to the $50 billion a day volume that the New York Stock Exchange trades, you can easily see how enormous the Foreign Exchange really is.

• It actually equates to more than three times the total amount of the stocks and futures markets combined! Forex rocks!

Oooh, the NYSE looks so puny compared to forex! It doesn't stand a chance!

The currency market is over 53 times BIGGER! It is HUGE! But hold your horses, there's a catch!
