The foreign exchange (forex or FX) market is where currencies are bought and sold in pairs (for example, EUR/USD). It's the largest and most liquid financial market globally, with average daily turnover of around $7.5 trillion according to the latest BIS Triennial Survey.
Unlike centralized exchanges, FX is an over-the-counter market that operates 24 hours a day, five days a week, spanning the major trading sessions in Asia, Europe, and North America.
Pairs are grouped as:
Tip: Spreads are the difference between the bid (sell) and ask (buy) price—the tighter the spread, the lower your trading cost.
Forex trading typically uses leverage, allowing you to control a larger position with a smaller deposit (margin). While leverage magnifies potential gains, it also magnifies losses—which can exceed your initial deposit in fast-moving markets. Make sure you understand how leverage and margin work before trading.
Use stop-loss orders to help cap downside when markets move against you, noting that execution occurs at the best available price when the stop is triggered and can be affected by volatility and liquidity.
Interest rate expectations, economic data, central-bank policy, geopolitical events, and market sentiment all play a role.
FX is generally open from Sunday 5:00 p.m. ET to Friday 5:00 p.m. ET, with activity peaking when London and New York sessions overlap.
Your total trading cost can include the spread and, depending on the account type, an additional commission per trade.
They're categories based on liquidity and composition of the pair (USD-involved majors, non-USD crosses, and pairs with emerging-market currencies).
Forex and CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. If you operate in the EU/UK, regulators require a provider-specific loss percentage in your risk warning. Ensure your website displays the percentage calculated for your firm and that all marketing complies with applicable regulations.
