Your broker offers you direct access to the international foreign exchange market Forex. With a daily trade volume of several billion US $, the foreign exchange market is the world’s largest and most solvent financial market. Do not lose time and participate 24-hours a day in this exhilarating market.

The Forex market is part of the bank-to-bank currency market also know as "24-hour interbank market". The interbank market literally follows the sun around the world - beginning with the large banking centre in Australia and New Zealand to the Far East, Europe, the United States and back to Australia.

Until recently, the Forex market had not been accessible for private investors and speculators. High requirements towards the minimum transaction and other restrictions had limited the Forex market to large banks, hedge funds or major currency traders. These traders of large volumes had long been able to claim the many benefits of the Forex market for themselves, such as excellent liquidity and some of the world’s strongest trend developments.

Forex trading is an efficient alternative to the stocks markets. While in the past years stocks and futures trading had attracted a strong interest and corresponding growth, the trading with foreign exchange (short “Forex” or “FX”) is now gaining rapidly in popularity around the world.

The FlatTrader Forex trading software is one of the daily tools of traders, financial consultants, money managers and private investors. Nearly all currencies can be traded. The most popular currencies in Forex are the majors that on average account for about 95% of the daily Forex transactions worldwide:

• US dollar
• Canadian dollar
• Australian dollar
• Euro
• Yen
• British pound
• Swiss franc

In the currency markets, technical indicators work pretty much the same way as in the stock markets. This means that the traditional technical share analysis can in many aspects also be applied to the charts of the Forex exchange market.

Besides the technical analysis, Forex traders should take into account the following fundamental factors:

• Interest markets around the world
• Economic stability of countries involved in global context
• Political stability in global context
• Trade deficit / surplus in global context
