The Forex Trading Market Unveiled

The Forex trading market is well known by a variety of different names, such as Forex market, or foreign exchange market. It has been around ever since the early 1970’s, making it close to 4 decades old. The root of the Forex trading market is simply currency trading that happens in between 2 or more countries; plus it’s a worldwide market. The stock exchange is normally based primarily in just a single country, and commonly consists of a number of organizations and companies in which stock (also known as shares) are purchased and sold. The age of a particular stock market is dependent upon the nation it is operational in.The Forex Trading Market Unveiled ( Courtesy of HenryLiuForex.com )

Some critical disparities concerning the Forex trading market and the stock exchange are listed as follows:  First Of All, and most definitely, the stock exchange in a certain country will undoubtedly be centered around that nation's local currency; including the English pound for the UK Stock Market or United States dollar of the NYSE. In the Forex market however, there are numerous nations around the world involved in day-to-day trading in several currencies; that makes this a fundamental distinction between the stock market and the Forex trading market.

Secondly , the mere scope of trading that exists on the Forex trading market widely overshadows that of any localized stock market. In light of the fact that the currency exchange works on a nation to nation basis, it would only stand to reason that the sum of currency exchanged on the Forex trading market would be far greater than any one single country’s conglomeration of businesses and firms which would trade on their regional stock exchange. To illustrate, a particular country’s stock exchange may perhaps trade millions daily, whereas the foreign exchange trades trillions every day.

Thirdly, the stock market practices stringent business hours, which would usually follow the working day of that specific nation; and exclude public holidays and week-ends. One great advantage of the Forex trading market is that it is generally open twenty four hours a day, every day. This is possible simply because even while a particular market is ending, another is just opening, so there exists constant continuity in the foreign currency market.  

On top of that, anything is purchased, offered and traded on the Forex market is something that has the ability to be easily liquidated; this means it can be changed into cash money swiftly. Examples of this are gold, silver, platinum and copper. Often though, what is traded happens to be cash money, which makes it really appealing to traders who would love to have easy and quick access to funds. What typically may be the case in the stock exchange is the fact that investors’ funds are unable to be liquidated as quickly; generally remaining in the form of stocks, bonds and other securities.

One other point to observe is the fact that potential risk is greater in the Forex market versus the potential risk of the stock exchange. It is because of the fact that there is also one thing generally known as Interest Rate Risk, which is often the result of discrepancies relating to the interest rate in the two countries within the currency pair inside a currency exchange price. In both situations, whether it is Exchange Rate Risk or Interest Rate Risk, there can be variations from the profit or loss expected from any specific Forex trading transaction.
