• Ease of access: Most markets are open during office hours only, usually for eight hours a day. It is restrictive for individuals interested in day trading because the hours interfere with regular working hours. On the other hand, the forex offers access 24 hours a day, which is convenient for anyone. It opens Sunday at 4:00 p.m. EST, and closes Friday at 4:00 p.m. EST. The Trading Institute shows you which times are the best to trade.
• Volume: It ensures that the investor can get in and out of the trade at the requested price, and within a short period of time. Most markets do not offer the kind of volume that allows for immediate execution of a price. The forex is the largest market in the world, with a volume of about 2 trillion dollars traded per day; in fact, the combined volume of all major exchanges over the world (NASDAQ, NYSE, etc) is not even close to what the forex market offers. All other exchanges do not offer a consistency in volume, but the forex does, which allows for trades to be more accurate in their decisions and makes of Thinslice Trading a constant and reliable method to apply to the market.
• Liquidity: It also ensures that trader gets the requested price. The forex deals with currencies, and nothing is as liquid as cash. In other markets, sometimes orders get executed at a different price (slippage) because of lack of liquidity or volume. The liquidity of the forex guarantees that the orders will be filled and allows for making profits in a short period of time. The Trading Institute’s scalping methodology is ideal for these kind of scenarios.
• No price gaps: A price gap is a significant price movement between two trading sessions, such that there is no overlap in the trading ranges. These gaps usually cost the investors money as they affect transactions. Being open 24 hours, the forex is not affected by a difference in price for intraday trading.
• Leverage: It gives a trader the possibility to have a large profit potential with a small amount of capital. The equities market requires thousands of dollars to make the same profit an investor can make in the forex with a fraction of the capital. In the foreign exchange market, the leverage is 1:200, compared to 1:3 in equities, and 1:20 in futures. Leverage is always to the traders benefit and in the forex market the risk is always calculated, allowing the trader to risk only the size of the stop, which is always fixed when using The Trading Institute’s techniques, and not the entire capital.
• No central exchange: Markets with a central exchange allow for institution to see when orders are stacking up, which creates a disadvantage for the individual investor. The forex, being an entirely electronic exchange, levels the playing field creating parity between individuals and institutions.

The forex is the fastest growing market in the world, comprised of 33% of individual traders and 4500 banks. No other market offers individuals the ability to make intraday cash flow in a consistent basis. After selecting the right market, the next step is to get the proper education before starting to trade and Thinslice Trading is the perfect tool to create a training ritual that works. Just like in any discipline, successful people first acquire the necessary skills, then practice, and then start to apply that knowledge. It is the same with the forex and any market.
