In fact, the average volume exchanged every single day is of approximately 5.3 trillion dollars.

One of the benefits of operating in Forex is that the market is open 24/5, which means that you do not have to adjust your schedule to market opening hours, since you can operate throughout the day.

In normal market conditions you can close a position easily, since in the Forex market there is a constant supply and demand, meaning there’s always someone willing to take the other side of the trade.

While most of the brokers of futures, securities and options provide platforms developed years ago, Forex brokers provide you with the newest trading platforms.

Among the main Forex trading platforms in the market there’s the well-known MetaTrader4-5 and cTrader that come as programs for your PC's desktop and are also available for Android and iOS devices, so you can even trade on the go using only your phone and an internet connection. 

The most important philosophy behind the operations is to buy cheap and sell expensive, but with Forex you can also sell expensive and buy cheap.

This way you can potentially get benefits in both trends, both downward and upward. It is much more complicated to open a short position in stocks and futures, while with currencies you can simply sell assets with a single click.
