The foreign exchange was recently made available to individual investors and has become the fastest growing market in the world. The trading of currencies between institutions and individuals has become one of the best ways for an individual to create wealth. In fact, online trading is the single most accessible venue an individual has to create wealth in this decade. The access to technology, high speed internet, charting tools, and other resources available only to professionals before is now available to the public, making the market grow further and giving people control over their trading and the empowerment to make the correct trading decisions.

The forex can be traded in either direction, and the most common currency pairs are the EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/CHF, and the USD/JPY. These are the most robust, the most commonly traded, and have the lowest transaction cost; that is why The Trading Institute offers unlimited live trading using these currency pairs. The forex moves by PIPs, which is the unit in which the trader gets paid. It reflects the fluctuation of a currency pair, and the value of a PIP is usually 10 dollars, so a move of 10 PIPs is equivalent to 100 dollars. The unit to trade is called a ‘lot’ and it usually requires $1,000 of margin for a 1 lot transaction.

The trader has the option of opening two different types of accounts: a mini account, which requires $250 where the value of a PIP is 1 dollar; or a standard account, which is generally $5,000, or a minimum of $2,500. The trader does not pay a commission, unlike in most markets; the only transaction cost is the difference between the bid and the ask price, which on avergae is fixed at 3 to 5 pips. The Trading Institute encourages its students to practice with a demo account to successfully achieve 10 profitable trades. Then Thinslice students may move to a mini account for further practice, and later move on to a standard account once all the concepts have been mastered.

All of the advantages that the forex market offers make it a great market to trade, but like in any other endeavor, it is best to get the proper education before investing any capital.
