Currency Trading IS the biggest and most exciting market on earth!!!

FOREX is the acronym for Foreign Exchange and the trading of multiple world currencies. It is the largest and most liquid financial market in the world with an estimated $3 Trillion in currencies traded daily.

In Forex, you can trade in rising and falling markets. Forex trading involves a substantial risk of loss.

Trading occurs 24 hours a day in the FOREX market. Trading world currencies is unlike stocks, bonds and commodities which are confined to a specific trading time and market. Investors can respond to currency fluctuations caused by economic, social and political events at the time they occur - day or night.

Through FXCM Forex, customers receive access to huge buying power with 200:1 leverage**. For example, with $10,000 cash in a standard account that allows 1:100 leverage, you can control up to $1,000,000 in notional value. The margin you put down on a trade can control a position up to 200 times greater in size. Leverage works both ways however; it increases potential returns, but it also increases potential risk. Therefore leveraging magnifies both gains and losses.

The currency markets are open and active 24 hours a day. It doesn’t matter whether the stock market is sinking or soaring, whether real estate is booming or busting, whether interest rates are flying or falling, and regardless of the direction of bonds or commodities. There is equal trading facility in rising and falling markets.

Currency Trading, the biggest and most exciting market on earth, offers you countless opportunities!

The Euro-US Dollar rate, for example, is constantly changing, usually in small, quick movements. Daily fluctuations around 1% are quite common. In Forex trading, when you invest with a 1:100 “leverage”, changes of, say, 1.2% turn to 120%, during a single day, even hours or minutes! You may profit, but if the exchange rate moves against your favor, you may incur a substantial amount of loss.
