The Forex market has great appeal to financial traders because of its volume which assures liquidity.

Another advantage of foreign exchange market is that it is active 24 hours a day and is closed only on the weekends. Add internet to this equation, which has enabled the traders to trade by just clicking buttons, instead of the traditional phone calls. The Web has really revolutionized the market, making the Forex market more dominant than ever.
