In the past few years the Foreign Exchange Market, commonly know as Forex, has gained tremendous popularity among the novice as well as the experienced trader. It's fairly easy and is operating 24 hours a day during the week, weekends are excluded. There are also several Forex brokers who will be happy to help the beginner through every step of their trading experience.
Because it is an international market it is essential for it to be open 24 hours per day. To do this, Forex operates on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Based on a universal time period, to accommodate an international trade system, UTC makes it convenient for those who are unable to trade during the regular stock market hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. EST. It does close during the weekend hours of each country.
Forex was designed for the international market to trade currency in order to do business around the world. Because it is a fast moving exchange, it is very difficult for an experienced trader to have an advantage over the novice.
It may sound like it's a cinch to trade in the Forex market, but there are a few things to think about in Forex trading.
Understanding exactly how the Forex market operates is extremely important before opening a Forex account. To gain this knowledge, finding a reputable broker will not only help the beginner in their trades, but teach the in's and out's of foreign exchange trading as well.
One thing to insist on, when looking for a Forex broker, is do they offer a free practice account to experiment with? This will get a trader used to the currency trading experience without losing funds. A beginner will be able to develop their skills, and feel confident in Forex trading। Learning just exactly what the objective is will be extremely important.
Make sure that the broker offers a micro lot account. This means that for as little as $25.00 a trading account may be opened. This will help a novice trader gain valuable experience in trading on the Forex market while merely trading nickels and dimes to do it. Unlike the regular stock market a credit card can be used to make the exchange. Micro lots are extremely useful for those wanting a large account but don't have the funds set aside to make a large initial deposit. A trader is allowed to deposit minimum amounts in their account without worrying about losing large amounts of money.
Lastly, but extremely important to remember, it is important to keep in constant contact with the broker. They are experienced in trading in Forex. It's their job to make sure a trader is satisfied. A trader will gain confidence and consistantly valuable information as Forex evolves.
