Welcome to our introductory video on Forex trading! In this video, I will break down the basics of the foreign exchange market (Forex) using a simple and relatable analogy. Just like converting one currency to another for your travels, Forex trading involves exchanging currencies, but on a much larger and global scale.
We’ll also explore the incredible size and daily volume of the Forex market, which is the largest financial market in the world, with trillions of dollars traded every day. Learn who the major players are, from banks to governments, and how they all contribute to the market’s massive liquidity.
