Online Forex Trading Advances

Of course when Forex first began the Internet was a distant dream and therefore trading was carried out exclusively by the cash rich worldwide organizations.These were companies who could afford to throw a few million in to the mix in an attempt to make some big money trading currencies.Trading was carried out over the telephone via several exchange centers all over the world. A trader would monitor global activity and then ring their broker in order to commence or complete a trade order. The transfer of funds to complete trades was done through bank transfers which often took a few days to go through. This meant that whilst the Forex market offered a fantastic earning opportunity, trading was both time consuming and a hassle.
