Why does it seem nobody knew much about Forex until recently?
Until a few years ago only the “big boys” could play this game. The initial requirement was that you could trade only if you had over ten million dollars. The foreign exchange was originally intended to be used by bankers and multinational corporations. Forex was opened to everyone during the late 90s. It’s the number one market in many different aspects. It is the most liquid, largest and fastest growing financial market in the world. Trading forex attracts many new investors because of its huge leverage and low start-up capital requirement. Most firms let you start with a mini-trading account with a measly $250.
