(ARA) - If you've been hunting for a hot new investment opportunity, foreign currency exchange may be just what you're looking for. Known as the (spot) FOREX to insiders, the foreign exchange market is one of the largest and fastest growing financial markets in the world - on average over $1.5 trillion in currency is traded through the foreign exchange market every day.

While it may sound mysterious, the (spot) foreign exchange market is simply how one country's currency is exchanged for that of another country through a floating-exchange-rate system. If you never pictured yourself as a currency trader, just think of it this way: Anyone who has exchanged money for an overseas trip for one rate and changed the remainder back to U.S. currency at a different rate when they returned has engaged in foreign exchange trading on a small scale.

Wondering why you haven't heard of this lucrative market? Until recently, large international banks dominated this market, only allowing access via telephone trading to a select few major corporations, large funds and high net worth individuals. But now this little known, underexposed, (spot) foreign exchange currency market can be traded online and is available to the general public.  And it's less complicated than the stock market because you target just six major currencies vs. thousands of stocks.

"If you're an investor who is trading or has traded stocks, if you're looking for new and bigger opportunities, or if you're just looking to diversify your portfolio, you may be a good candidate to trade currencies," says Blake Morrow, President of 4X Made Easy, a company that provides investors the tools and training they need to trade in the (spot) FOREX. "4X Made Easy tracks supply and demand using proven trend recognition software, and simple red light/green light cues designed to help you make decisions that can maximize your profits" says Morrow.

The (spot) FOREX has a number of advantages for individual traders. One is that thanks to leveraging, investors can trade large sums with only a small percentage down.  Common leverage in foreign currencies is 100:1 vs. 2:1 with stocks.  For example, you'd have to put down $50,000 of margin to control $100,000 of stocks.  However, in the (spot) FOREX, you could put down only $1,000 of margin to control $100,000 worth of currency.  Another advantage for busy individuals is that the (spot) FOREX is open 24 hours a day, five days a week, allowing you to trade in the evening, or a time that is convenient for you. And while, as with other investments, there are risks, investors can use stop-loss orders to help protect their money. "Individual investors need to learn proper risk management, or the market may move against them and result in the loss of all their trading capital," advises Morrow.
