Forex Story

Forex Currency Trading and Currency Market Trading are the exact same thing, and so also are the terms 4x trading, fx currency trading, fx exchange 4x currency trading etc all referring to the exact same thing. Which makes sense really in that no one will exchange Euro for Euro except to change denominations at a bank for a retail shop’s need for change. The emphasis is all on international currencies being exchanged.

Confusion about the long list of names for it comes from the fact that not many people know about it. With the Internet, investors became active and excited for share trading, options trading, warrants trading and even futures trading. However most people/investors have not really (yet) expanded their horizon to include forex currency trading.

Most people did not really notice the liberation of forex currency trading from the clutches of the banks and large corporations. The big boys had a monopoly on forex since the dawn of International trade, until the Internet also gave way to Forex currency trading by small and micro-sized currency market trading.

The irony is that Currency market trading, even though much less well known than the stock market, is massively bigger than the stock market. In fact, the World’s forex currency trading turns over more money in 1 week than the entire USA economy does in one whole year.

And it is not just the size of the total currency market trading that takes place that is impressive; it is more that it is so huge that it is beyond the ability of any Government to control it fully. There is no central regulation of currency market trading. Sure the USA Government can make laws for brokers and traders in the USA, but when bad laws are passed people simply trade from an International broker – often just an overseas branch of their existing USA broker.

It is not so difficult to manipulate the stock market as all stocks will clearly fall within one jurisdiction, and Governments will make laws that interfere with the free market. Big business, the banks and brokers, their lawyers and/or criminals can always find a way to trick and defraud the innocent, small investor. But the sheer size of forex currency trading will always be a process of matching the values of one currency against another currency. In real time as defined by the constant process of currency market trading, no one is big enough to get a fix in.

5 billion Euros is a lot of money. Let’s assume a very large player or even Government steps in to the forex currency trading market and lends support to the Euro. Unless the USA at the same time announce some poor economic data at the same time, that 5 billion Euro would have little or no effect when you consider that 2,500 billion Euros are traded on every normal day. Currency market trading is honest because it is too big to fool the free market’s operation.

Given that big business and Governments are powerless to control or corrupt the forex currency trading market, what chance does the little guy or gal have? Every chance and the same chance as the large player does, simple as that. The only difference you will find is the points spread that bigger and smaller forex traders pay. I pay 0.9 pips anyway, so I am not concerned about that at all. My main concern is that currency market trading is a level playing field that cannot be rigged – and it cannot.
