Speculation Of Forex

Speculation Of Forex

A important thing to about the forex market is that while commercial and financial transactions are part of trading volume, most currency trading is based on speculation.
In other words, most trading volume comes from traders that buy and sell based on intraday price movements.
The trading volume brought about by speculators is estimated to be more than 90%!
The scale of the forex speculative market means that liquidity - the amount of buying and selling volume happening at any given time - is extremely high.

 

This makes it very easy for anyone to buy and sell currencies. From the perspective of an investor, liquidity is very important because it determines how easily price can change over a given time period. A liquid market environment like forex enables huge trading volumes to happen with very little effect on price.
When the forex market is relatively very liquid, the market depth could change depending on the currency pair and time of day.
In  the trading sessions we can see  how the time of your trades are affect the currency pair you are trading.
