Foreign Exchange
Foreign exchange trading is the simultaneous buying of one currency and selling of another.
The foreign exchange market (Forex or FX) is the largest financial market in the world with a
daily turnover of over .9 trillion. Examples of currency trading pairs are Euro/US Dollar
(EUR/USD) and US Dollar/Japanese Yen (USD/JPY). Most currency transactions involve the
"Majors" - US Dollar, Euro, Japanese Yen, British Pound, Swiss Franc, Canadian Dollar and
Australian Dollar.
Unlike other financial markets, the foreign exchange market has no physical location and no
central exchange. The Forex market operates 24 hours a day through an electronic network of
banks, corporations and individual traders. Forex trading begins every day in Sydney, then moves
to Tokyo, followed by London and then New York. The major market makers, or dealers, consist
of the commercial and investment banks, the exchange traded futures, and registered futures
commission merchants such as FX Solutions. FX Solutions' dealing desk is open 24-hours a day
from Sunday 16:00 EST to Friday 16:30 EST.
