What are the benefits of Forex trading?

Forex trading offers several benefits to the discerning market participant. Here are the top three.

Forex markets are open 24 hours. You can trade currency 24 hours a day for 5.5 days a week. This means you won’t experience overnight gaps like you would in the stock market, and can trade in the evenings if you work during the day.

Forex markets are low-cost. When you trade Forex, instead of paying a commission like you would with shares, you instead pay a very small mark-up to the price called the spread. Typically the spread is only a fraction of a cent for each dollar you trade.

Forex markets allow you to start small. When you begin Forex trading you can start at a very small size, and as your commissions are small too, unlike with stocks your profits don’t get all eaten up by commission.
