There is a common misconception that the Forex market is open 24 hours a day seven days a week. Theoretically the global Forex market is open 24 hours seven days a week but an individual is still limited to the hours he can trade. Opposed to other regulated markets such as that of the stock exchange the Forex market is a network of financial institutions and retail trading brokers which gives them the ability to create their own hours of operation. Forex hours of operation are in accordance to their time zone. Most establishments trade between the hours of 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. relative to their local time zone. Note that you'll see the terms: FX, forex, foreign-exchange market and currency market. These terms are synonymous and all refer to the forex market.

I have recently discovered InstaForex Company, my friend told me about it. The responses were very good as well as that information which I have get about the broker. So, since recently I trade with InstaForex. It seems that this broker gives the best conditions for newcomers. In particular, these microaccounts and minimal lot of 100 USD which allows to minimize the risks. I like the contests on demo-accounts - it is very exciting, I can win money for my real account. I hope our cooperation will be fruitful.
It should be noted that there is no central marketplace for the Forex market ; trading is instead said to be conducted �over the counter'; it's not like stocks where there is a central marketplace with all orders processed like the NYSE. Forex is a product quoted by all the major banks, and not all banks will have the exact same price. Now, the broker platforms take all theses feeds from the different banks and the quotes we see from our broker are an approximate average of them. It's the broker who is effectively transacting the trade and taking the other side of it�they �make the market' for you. When you buy a currency pair�your broker is selling it to you, not �another trader'.
The site said that those average gains of 1 percent daily couldn't be compounded into an annual return. Even without compounding, those kinds of daily returns would amount to an annual gain of about 250 percent - or more than 25 times the average annual return of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, with dividends reinvested, for the past 50 years. Secure Investment didn't provide that kind of context.
Except for Saturdays, you can enter or exit the FOREX market anytime night or day. This market has virtually no gaps whatsoever and your stop-loss orders are almost guaranteed. Mandal says he wasn't yet suspicious. He got another e-mail from Secure on April 30.
