America's markets close every evening and do not open again until the next day; if it is not a weekend. This limits the amount of time we have to trade but also the actual physical number of trades we can do.
Transactions in foreign currencies are not centralized on an exchange, unlike say the NYSE, and thus take place all over the world via telecommunications. Trade is open 24 hours a day from Sunday afternoon until Friday afternoon (00:00 GMT on Monday to 10:00 pm GMT on Friday). In almost every time zone around the world, there are dealers who will quote all major currencies. After deciding what currency the investor would like to purchase, he or she does so via one of these dealers (some of which can be found online). It is quite common practice for investors to speculate on currency prices by getting a credit line (which are available to those with capital as small as $500), and vastly increase their potential gains and losses. This is called marginal trading.
I like InstaForex cause its allowed leverage is up to 1:1000. Also, it's perfect that you don't need a big deposit for trading and the minimum is 1 USD. It's great that you can have several accounts as well! As official partner of Land Rover BAR we're backing Sir Ben Ainslie's team to bring the America's Cup home.
Banks - The interbank market allows for both the majority of commercial Forex transactions and large amounts of speculative trading each day. Some large banks will trade billions of dollars, daily. Sometimes this trading is done on behalf of customers, however much is done by proprietary traders who are trading for the bank's own account.
