The currency market, unlike the stock market, is open 24 hours per day in the business week. This again is perhaps because of its international nature. It is always business hours somewhere in the world, except on weekends and vacations. This indicates that currency exchange traders can operate at just about any time or night, according to what suits their schedule and their trading methodology. Some traders work business hours in their own time zone, others log on in the evenings or early mornings before heading off for a real job.
Speculative trading is dangerous, whether or not it is undertaken in stocks or currency. If you are searching for a safe investment then forex trading is not for you. Risk is the trade off for the opportunity of making big profits from the high leverage that’s available thru forex brokers. Controlling a position size that’s 100 times your committed funds is common ; 2 hundred times is not peculiar and 400 times is possible with some brokers. This implies that a tiny change in the cost of a selected currency pair can have a giant impact.
