The Foreign Currency Market (otherwise known as Forex) is the largest financial market in the world!

Forex is not affected by any one bear market. Forex traders buy and sell foreign currency pairs from around the world, simultaneously buying one and selling the other. One currency is always in the up swing while the other is on the down swing. Choosing the right side at the right time means profit.

	Forex never sleeps. It’s a 24-hour market.
	The four most frequently traded pairs (the U.S. dollar, the yen, the Euro and the British pound) are never without buyers and sellers.
	Superior liquidity helps ensure that you can execute trades at a fair price.
	50:1 leverage (compared to 2:1 with equities and 15:1 with futures), coupled with the small price movement typical of the currency market and appropriate risk management, can double your initial investment.
	Lower transaction fees contribute to better profits.
