Alpari in the Forex Market

The Foreign Exchange Market (Forex, FX) is the arena in which a nation's currency is exchanged for that of another at a mutually agreed rate. It was created in the 1970's and is now considered to be one of the largest financial market in the world because of its huge turnover. According to the Bank for International Settlements, in their Triennial Central Bank Survey of 2007, the average daily turnover in global foreign exchange markets is estimated to be $3.98 trillion.

The internet has brought FX trading to a wider range of investors. Whereas participation used to be limited to banks and other major institutions, the Internet has extended the range of FX traders all the way down to retail investors. Retail Forex, or the “off-exchange market” segment, is estimated to be 2% of the total Forex market with daily trading volumes of $50-$60 billion.

In 2008, all Alpari companies celebrated its 10th birthday and posted record daily trading volumes in excess of $3.5 billion*, spurred by a substantial worldwide increase in both individual traders and money managers’ accounts.
