The Forex market is the world’s single largest financial market, three times the size of every other stock and futures market combined. It dwarfs behemoths such as the New York Stock Exchange; close to four trillion US dollars worth of currency is traded every day in the Forex market, compared to the fifty-five billion dollars exchanged on Wall Street. Large banks, corporations, and national governments exchange currencies alongside small investors and traders hoping to scalp a profit off market movements.
