Forex Market Explained


In the forex market, currencies are exchanged through a floating exchange rate system. The forex market has no central exchange and has no trading floor. It is considered as an 'over-the-counter' (OTC) market and is run electronically within a network of banks known as the interbank market. The FX market runs continuously 24 hours a day from Sunday afternoon to Friday afternoon.
In the past, the forex interbank market was not available to small investors and only the world’s largest banks were allowed to trade openly. Since the introduction of the internet, forex brokers have emerged to cater for the needs of almost any individual with the use of online forex currency trading platforms. The trading platform is where you will execute all of your trades with your broker with just a few clicks of the mouse.
