- The Foreign Exchange has a high level of liquidity that ensures instant order executions in most market conditions.
- 24-Hour trading. The major trading centers are located in New York,
London, and Hong Kong. The end of one trading day is the beginning of another. Traders are able to trade at any convenient time, no matter where their location. Furthermore, fx traders can always react quickly to any market altering news.
- Because of the immense size of the market, no single actor can substantially impact the foreign exchange market. Even multibillion dollar transactions are a relatively small percentage of the overall market, and can alter prices only slightly, and in the short term.
- Investors can trade on very high leverage, controlling large positions with relatively small amounts of money. Of course, while a movement in the trader’s favor results in large earnings relative to investment, movement against the position can result in the investment being wiped out. Using high leverages in the market can be both risky and rewarding. Increasing leverage increases risk.
- Unlike, for instance, the stock market, in which traders must be familiar with hundreds of stocks, an online Forex trader need only be familiar with a few currencies.
- Whether a given currency is rising or falling, investors have the same profit or loss potential.
