Forex Market Size - the “Big Kahuna” in Financial Markets
Wednesday, November 26th, 2008
I’ve slowly being reading through my Currency Trading for Dummies Getting Started Edition and the first big lesson that I learned is that this is a gigantic market.
- the average trading volume exceeds $2 trillion (that’s $2,000,000,000,000!) per day. (my calculator doesn’t even have room for all the zeros)
- that trading volume is 10-15 times that of all the world’s stock markets combined (bloody hell!)
How is my tiny investment going to manage in that ocean of money, I’d be happy to skim of 0.0000000001 of that market.
