The
Foreign Exchange market, also referred to as the "FOREX" or
"Forex" or "Retail forex" or "FX" or "Spot
FX" or just "Spot" is the largest financial market in the world,
with a volume of over $4 trillion a day. If you compare that to the $25 billion
a day volume that the New York Stock Exchange trades, you can easily see how
enormous the Foreign Exchange really is. It actually equates to more than three
times the total amount of the stocks and futures markets combined! Forex rocks!
