Forex is The Most Liquid Market On The Planet

According to the Central Bank Survey of the forex market conducted by the Bank for International Settlements, as at 2004, daily trading volume reached an all-time record high of $1.9 trillion, up 58% from 2001. Do you know that this humongous daily trading volume is about 20 times that of the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq combined?
With about 80 percent of foreign exchange transactions having a dollar leg, you don't have to worry about liquidity issues when trading any of the these big-economy currencies, which are namely, USD, GBP, Euro, CHF, JPY, CAD, AUD and NZD.
