Forex, which stands for Foreign Exchange Market is the world's largest financial market the currency of one country is exchanged with another through an exchange rate system. The purpose of trading is to obtain a profit as a result of foreign currencies purchase and sale. The free-floating of currencies in the market turn over at any given time are determined by the supply and demand. The rate is run through telecommunication over the vast network of banks. This telecommunication takes place 24 hours a day from 00:00 GMT on Monday through 10:00 p.m. GMT on Friday. The economy has a strong influence on the currency market, and traders gain the profit from the fluctuations based on a principle "buy cheaper sell higher" or the other way around.
