3 Reasons why many people do not understand what Forex is

1. Everybody talks about Forex but nobody seems to know what it is
I am sure many of you wonder, what is Forex, a word which you probably hear all the time by friends or some random people sitting next to you in a bar while drinking your strawberry margarita or scotch. However, if you ask them what that means nobody seems to give you a precise answer.

Well the correct answer is that Forex is a general term combining all worldwide financial institutions and organizations of all sizes into a single market place. In detail, it is short for Foreign Exchange and known as the innovative market of the last century.

2. Do trades go through the Stock Exchange?
No my friend, the trades do not go through the Stock Exchange. Can you believe it?
There is no central location in which transactions take place. Currency trading is conducted electronically, which unlike stocks, all trading is done either by telephone or email etc also known as over the counter.

3. Do I need to have a degree in Statistics in order to trade on the Platform?
It takes time and practice. I am sure that many of you have traded on demo accounts, which made it seem like rocket science. Well I have news for you. It is actually not. Believe me, it is very common to get confused by looking at something new for the first time. If that was not the case, well we would all be geniuses. The platform is the wholly grail of both investors and Investment Firms since it is where all trades take place. An investor can at all times see the traded currencies and instantly understand whether his/her investment which actually make him/her some profit. it is important to get to know the platform and how it works in order to use it to you advantage.
My two cents? Keep on opening demo accounts and check how the system works. If you consider yourself a risk taker, just be certain that your pocket can afford such risk.
