One of the largest financial markets in the world • The "Forex" or "FX" market, is one of the largest financial market in the world. However retail forex is a small portion of the total forex market. • No matter what types of investments you are into :such as stocks, government bonds, US long-term government bonds , futures forex and so on. In my opinion, a good investment market will also include features such as : • Market liquidity • Transparency in the market • Low-cost • A speedy order execute
Liquidity • Although there are many different currencies in the world, most of the volumes of trading are within G-8’s currencies. These are sometimes referred to as major currencies. Compared with the future market involved in hundreds of productions, and stock market involved in 50 thousands stocks, the currency market generally has a higher liquidity than the future market and the stock market.
Liquidity • The biggest advantage of a liquid market is that no one can cornerforex market. The low liquidity market would allow someone to monopolize, such as the future market and stock market. On the contrary, In the forex market, the exchange rate is based on those trading activities between banks and institution. • It is less susceptible to manipulation and is generally more liquid.
A-24-hour-market • It’s a perfect field for dynamic traders. It’s unlike the stock market and future market are closed in definitely period. You can trade in 24 hours 5.5 days a week in the forex market without being suspended so that it’s the smallest market gap. (trading time from N.Y. Sun. 06:00pm EST till Fri.04:00pm EST ) so that it’s the smallest market gap .
Transparency • A well-established broker will offer investors streaming renewed and executive quotes. As now, a trader needs to realize the difference between indication quotes and streaming or executive quotes. Indication quotes mean the prices are just for traders’ reference. On the contrary, streaming or executive quotes are for trading dealers to trade. In other words, investors can have deals by these quotes.
Trading in low-cost • Because forex doesn’t take place in a fixed exchange, the cost of forex is almost a little or none. That’s because it’s not in a central trading spot like NYSE or CBOT, and therefore investors don’t need to pay any settlement fees.

Long or Short –up to you In the stock/future markets, someone may take profits and someone may lose. It’s zero-sum game. Forex market is unlike the two markets. Forexis a kind of demand. When banks, exports and imports need to make deals or purchase productions, and they need to exchange their funds via quotes, so any prices we can deal with.
Higher leverage Most trade dealers allow investors trade in 50:1 leverage. It enables investors who have a little funds accessing the big scale size market. Traditionally,1 lot equals 100,000 of the base currency. If the multiple of leverage is 50 times, 1 lot is only $2000 margin required. Compare to 1-2 times of multiple size of stocks or 20 times of multiple size of futures..
The leveraged nature of FX trading means that any market movement will have an equally proportional effect on your deposited funds. This may work against you as well as for you. The possibility exists that you could sustain a total loss of initial margin funds and be required to deposit additional funds to maintain your position. If you fail to meet any margin call within the time prescribed, your position will be liquidated and you will be responsible for any resulting losses.
