Forex (or foreign exchange) is the world’s biggest capital market. With a daily turnover of over USD 5 trillion, it towers over all the other financial markets combined. Forex refers to the art of buying or selling one currency in exchange for another. Anyone can participate, from major institutions to individual investors.
Forex can be thought of as the place where currencies are traded, though in reality there is no physical location. 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, a wide range of currencies are continually traded as individuals and companies seek to take advantage of changes in exchange rates.

The exchange provides both the infrastructure to execute trades, and takes on a level of regulatory responsibility for ensuring that the rules and legality of trades are adhered to.
In Forex, the majority of transactions take place in the Over The Counter (OTC) market, which doesn’t operate through a centralised exchange system.
