Opportunities
from Around the World
Over
the last three decades the foreign exchange market has become
the world's largest financial market, with over $1.9 trillion
USD traded daily. Forex is part of the bank-to-bank currency
market known as the 24-hour Interbank market. The Interbank
market literally follows the sun around the world, moving from
major banking centers of the United States to Australia, New
Zealand to the Far East, to Europe then back to the United
States.
Until
recently, the forex market wasn't for the average trader or
individual speculator. With the large minimum transaction
sizes and often-stringent financial requirements, banks, hedge
funds, major currency dealers and the occasional high
net-worth individual speculator were the principal
participants. These large traders were able to take advantage
of the many benefits offered by the forex market vs. other
markets, including fantastic liquidity and the strong trending
nature of the world's primary currency exchange rates.
Access
and resources to Trade Forex
As
a primary market-maker in foreign currency trading, Blue Crown
FX is able to offer smaller transactional sizes and allow
traders of almost any size, including individual speculators
or smaller companies, the opportunity to trade the same rates
and price movements as the large players who once dominated
the forex market.
The
forex market removes the traditional barriers that exist in
other markets without restricting the forex traders' ability
to make a trade at the right times.
Some
examples include:

Other
Markets

Forex
Markets
|
|
Limited
floor trading hours dictated by the time zone of the
trading location, significantly restricting the number
of hours a market is open and when it can be accessed.
|
The
Forex market is open 24 hours a day, 5.5 days a week.
Because of the decentralized clearing of trades and
overlap of major markets in Asia, London and the
United States, the market remains open and liquid
throughout the day and overnight.
|
|
Threat
of liquidity drying up after market hours or because
many market participants decide to stay on the
sidelines or move to more popular markets.
|
Most
liquid market in the world eclipsing all others in
comparison. Most transactions must continue, since
currency exchange is a required mechanism needed to
facilitate world commerce.
|
|
Traders
are gouged with fees, such as commissions, clearing
fees, exchange fees and government fees.
|
Commission-Free.
(We
are compensated by revenues from activities as a
currency dealer, including proceeds from buying,
selling, converting, as well as holding currencies and
interest on deposited funds and rollover fees.)
|
|
Large
capital requirements, high margin rates, restrictions
on shorting, very little autonomy.

One
consistent margin rate 24 hours a day allows Forex
traders to leverage their capital more efficiently
with as high as 100-to-1 leverage.

Short
selling and stop order restrictions.
