What is a Forex Market Maker?
The investor in the currency market takes for granted that a pair of currencies can be bought or sold at a moment's notice.
Once an order is placed with a broker, the trade is executed within seconds. It is, of course, not as easy as that.
Whenever a pair of currencies is bought or sold, there must be someone at the other end of the transaction. It is very unlikely that the investor will always find someone who is interested in buying and selling the same two currencies at the same amount, and at the same time. Hence, the question remains, "How is it possible that the forex investor can buy or sell at any time?" This is where the forex market makers come in.
The forex market maker is a bank or brokerage company that stands ready, every second of the trading day with a firm bid and ask price.
This is good for the investor because when the investor chooses to buy and sell a pair of currencies, the market maker will purchase from and sell to the investor, even if they do not have a buyer and seller lined up. In doing so, they are literally "making a market" for the currencies.
Forex market makers ensure that the market is always functional and that the currencies in it will always fetch the market rate. Forex market makers do so by updating their prices at intervals of at least 30 seconds and undertaking to trade if this is requested. Forex market makers must fulfill their obligations irrespective of whether the economic situation is favorable or unfavorable, or whether they lose or profit by doing so.
Typical forex market makers include Gain Capital, CMS Forex, Forex Capital Markets (FXCM), and Global Forex Trading, all of which are regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) of the USA.
Another prominent forex market maker is Saxo Bank, which is regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) of Denmark.
Until recently, central banks, commercial banks and investment banks dominated the forex market.
Due to the entry of forex market makers, other market players like international money brokers, large multinational companies, registered dealers, global money managers, and private speculators have entered the market in large numbers..
Day Trading Forex Currency, Hype, Lies and TANSTAAFL
Copyright (c) 2006 Richard Keir
Day trading Forex currency is all about making big money. Some investors have found it quite easy to make a large amount of money by day trading the Forex currency markets as they change hour by hour. But, you see that "some" in the previous sentence? What that means is that a lot of people don't make a dime and even lose a lot of money.
Usually a Forex trading system course is hyped as an easy way to make a bundle. Get your Forex trading secret and your Forex trading tool and you're golden - day trading Forex currency for vast riches. Lies.
What you tend to find is that there isn't any Forex trading secret, it's the same old tired stuff repeated over and over on sales page after sales page, generally by so-called "experts" who aren't. And that so-called Forex trading tool or software? Another lame canned system that promises but won't deliver.
And now, what's TANSTAAFL? Online and offline this is the antidote...

A Short Introduction To FOREX.
FOREX is the world's largest and most liquid trading market. Many consider FOREX as the best home business you can ever venture in. Even though regular people have had the opportunity to take part in trading foreign currencies for profit (in the same way banks and large corporations do) since 1998, it is just now becoming the cool, hip, new "thing" to talk about at parties, business events, and other social gatherings. Even though it has been somewhat of a loosely guarded secret, every day more and more investors are turning to the all-electronic world of FOREX trading for income and profit because of its numerous benefits & advantages over traditional trading vehicles, like stocks, bonds and commodities. But, still, whenever something seems new or is just becoming a part of social conversation, news articles, and water cooler gossip, misconceptions have to be overcome, the mindhas to be open and the slate has to be clear for starting out fresh with the CORRECT information.
