What is the Forex?

The Foreign Exchange (Forex) is the largest and most liquid financial market in the world, with a daily trading volume in excess of $3 trillion USD. Until recently, only wealthy investors and entities such as financial institutions and Fortune 500 companies could take advantage of this opportunity. But thanks to advancements in technology that have led to real-time internet trading, the average investor has access to the Forex Market through firms like i-Trade FX.
