hrs a day, unlike the regular stock markets. Most investments require a
substantial amount of capital before you can take advantage of an
investment opportunity. To trade Forex, you only need a small amount of
capital. Anyone can enter the market with as little as $300 USD to trade
a "mini account", which allows you to trade lots of 10,000 units. One
lot of 10,000 units of currency is equal to 1 contract. Each "pip" or
move up or down in the currency pair is worth a $1 gain or loss,
depending on which side of the market you are on. A standard account
gives you control over 100,000 units of currency and a pip is worth $10.

The Forex market can be traded anytime, anywhere. As long as you have
access to a computer, you have the ability to trade the Forex market. An

is it wise to practice with "paper money", or "fake money." Most brokers
have demo accounts where you can download their trading station and
practice real time with fake money. While this is no guarantee of your
performance with real money, practicing can give you a huge advantage to
become better prepared when you trade with your real, hard earned
money. There are also many Forex courses on the internet, just be
careful when choosing which ones to purchase.
