Currency Trading in foreign exchange is the simultaneous buying of one currency and selling of another currency. Daily volume in the currency market exceeds $1.5 trillion per day, making it the largest and most liquid market in the world. Unlike other financial markets, the Forex market has no physical location or central exchange. It is an over-the-counter market where buyers and sellers including banks, corporations, and private investors conduct business. Foreign exchange trading takes place in financial trading centers all over the world, including New York, London, and Tokyo creating one cohesive, international market. The huge number and diversity of players involved make it difficult for even governments to control the direction of the market. The unmatched liquidity and around-the-clock global activity make foreign exchange the ideal market for active traders.
