I agree with forex Has Great Liquidity and Trading Costs are Extremely Low. But for the others i have mixed response. First, It boast transparency which sometimes true but at the same time is not since it gives us anonymity and some brokers even able to create their own market. While Strong trend is sometimes true and sometimes not. Usually strong trend happening after big news and up  to few hours later, but if there is no fundamental aspect it is rare to see strong trend in forex even still quite volatile.

There are many benefits to forex trading but, as with any market, there are also associated risks and it should not be entered into lightly. Whilst this article has covered the main advantages of forex trading, it’s also vital that you familiarise yourself with the potential pitfalls to ensure it’s the right decision for you.

Forex trading is not a get-rich-quick scheme. Rather, it is a long-term strategy that requires knowledge and a keen understanding of how global events can affect the market.
