over-the-counter market is when traders are trading with special software to Buy or Sell currencies. The most Forex brokers will connect your trades over the interbank market. There is no huge difference between the currency markets and any other market.

Some people think the market is the place where you can buy or sell grocery or fruits but you deal with currencies such as Euro, Dollar and other currencies and the daily income is about $40.000. But in the Forex market, the daily income is about 4 trillion US Dollars. And it’s not because cucumbers or tomatoes are cheaper than euros, it is the amount of market participants and their wealth that makes the Forex market so big.

There are few substantial differences between currency markets and other types of markets. One more difference that we should note, however, is use of advanced information technology. Financial markets use IT on a significant basis.

The main currency markets are in the USA, England, Euro and Japan.
