The currency market is the biggest market in the world. Its daily volume is the combination of volume generated by the NYSE and NASDAQ for 1 full month of trading. They have become, often, fetish market, because for the speculators and investors makes they feel like they are side by side with large institutions, including central banks.

And in fact the case. The currency market is now a reality thanks to technological boom and the internet revolution. Market was reserved only for central banks, commercial banks and large financial institutions, but totally forbidden to retail investors. The fact that it is a decentralized market, no one central physical body to govern it (with good and bad that entails), made with the advent of internet, liquidity providers themselves could provide houses / firms smaller part of that liquidity, so that they in turn passed it to individual customers end. And thus was born the retail Forex (foreign exchange for particular).

The retail market has evolved considerably since its inception back in 1996. Currently, end users can access a more than acceptable operating conditions, with robust platforms and suppliers of graphics and next-generation systems. Particular customer needs only to a computer, an Internet connection and an account with a firm (broker), which can be opened within 24 hours online, in complete comfort.

The biggest advantage of this market is the leverage effect. With a very small amount of deposit transactions can be done a certain value. For example, to sell 100,000 Euros against Dollars (which would be bought), the customer must deposit from just $ 250 in your account to open the position. Effectively, with just 500 € euros, a client can participate in the forex market. When compared with the index futures to open a position on the future of the Ibex 35, the guarantees that we require are more than 10,000 € euros. Hence, this market is so popular in most of the world.

I say almost because, surprisingly for a country of first level as Spain, the foreign exchange market (Forex) is quite underdeveloped. There are more people making Forex trading in Nigeria than in Spain and this is a fact. “Reason? Cultural. In Spain it is preferred that the bank will recommend a mortgage in foreign currency then leave you hanging for 30 years prior to selling EUR / JPY (Euro / Japanese Yen), because it ‘sounds bad. “

At operational level, the currency market operates like any other derivative market in which to bet on a rise or fall (if we believe that the Euro will rise against the Japanese Yen, then buy the EUR / JPY, if the Otherwise we will lose value, because we sell the EUR / JPY to try to take advantage). Moreover, being a market that operates 24 hours a day, five days a week, not produced the Damned ‘gaps’ or opening holes, so that the graphics are much cleaner than traditional markets. And that is, objectively, whether a trader is systematic and disciplined, there is no better market than the Forex to get all the juice to their potential. Proven.
