With over $7 trillion trades daily, this is still the biggest and the most liquid market in the whole world.
The easy thing that can be noted through moving towards the end of 2024 is that the foreign exchange market remains one of the leading financial markets around the world. Definitely, these are now numerous shifts in the FX environment. It can be noticed that we have changes in the frames of regulations, geopolitical events, and improvements in trading platforms.
All of them have an impact on individual and institutional traders.

What’s the main objective of this thread? I’m curious because it’s widely understood that forex is the most liquid market in the world. Just trying to better understand the discussion here. 😊

That was a very obvious point made, it has been the most liquid market on the planet for as long as it existed basically.

The $6-7 trillion daily Forex volume exists because of one thing, leverage. It lets traders punch way above their weight, like turning $100 into a $50,000 position with 1:500 leverage. Throw in the big dogs like HNIs and banks, and hitting that insane volume makes total sense. Without leverage, these numbers wouldn’t even be close. Add the 24/5 grind, global access, and a wild mix of players, and you’ve got the most liquid and hands-down my favorite market on the planet

You might be surprised to know that the retail forex trading industry is actually only a small component of the total daily transacted volume (around 5% ). The leverage doesn't necessarily translate into an an actual spot position outside of the brokerage if they internalise the trades, hedge their exposure,etc. The biggest component of the daily 7.5 trillion is in FX Swaps (around 50%) which are conducted between institutions on the interbank market. The main thing that has changed in recent years is the increased accessibility to the public to trade via retail brokerage platforms and software

Forex stays king, but 2025 will bring new rules, tech, and drama to keep traders sharp!

The sheer scale of the Forex market's daily volume highlights its unique role in global finance. However, what’s most fascinating is the structure behind this liquidity. While retail traders benefit from leverage and accessibility, institutional players drive the lion’s share of activity, especially through instruments like FX swaps. This diversity of participants and instruments not only underpins its liquidity but also makes the market incredibly dynamic. As we move forward, adapting to shifts in technology and regulation will be key for traders aiming to stay competitive in this evolving space.

I think crypto becomes the king, too much attention is currently sticked to them, so I gradually switch to trading crypto with HFM

The forex market is the largest and most liquid financial market globally, with over $7 trillion traded daily. It is highly liquid, allowing quick entry and exit of trades. The market involves trading currency pairs, influenced by major currencies like the US dollar, euro, and Japanese yen. It operates 24/7, is decentralized, and is influenced by factors like interest rates, economic indicators, political events, and market sentiment. This makes it attractive for both institutional and retail traders.

The market is definitely fascinating with its size and liquidity. Trading $7 trillion daily is huge! Its 24/7 nature and constant movement make it exciting but also unpredictable. What do you think is the biggest factor influencing currency movements - news, rates, or market sentiment?

The Forex market’s scale and liquidity are truly unparalleled, making it a fascinating space for traders. The $7 trillion daily volume highlights the diversity of participants, from central banks and institutional players to retail traders. While factors like interest rates, economic data, and political events are significant, market sentiment often acts as the immediate driver, especially during high-impact news releases or unexpected global events.
As for the biggest influence, it varies:
Interest rates are fundamental for long-term currency trends, with central banks setting the tone.
Economic indicators like GDP, employment data, and inflation provide context for rate decisions.
Market sentiment, however, reacts to immediate catalysts, such as geopolitical tensions or surprises in economic reports.
A balanced approach involves monitoring all three, as their interplay defines market dynamics.

You are right, Forex is huge, liquid and there’s no such thing as “off-hours”. The most fascinating thing is that it reacts to anything, even if it is the central bank talking about any political hiccup. It’s not just about trading real money, it’s also about understanding how the market works.

Absolutely! The way Forex can shift with any news or event is what keeps it so dynamic. It's not just about the technicals; the fundamentals play a huge role in shaping trends. Being able to anticipate those reactions is what separates a good trader from a great one!
