Please explain about the emergence of forex market. Why it presents an outstanding trading opportunity, and what about its future in comparison to the other markets?

The great thing about the foreign exchange is that instead of competing against other traders like in the stock market, you actually "compete" with banks and travelers who trade an average of 2 billion dollars per day. This means the market has a much bigger volume. The future of the market here is tremendously stable, for stocks a company would just need to declare bankruptcy in order for the stock to fall to 0, here a whole country needs to go down the toilet for its currency to die.

The leverage used in the forex market can also be very good (and very bad) for the trader that doesnt have millions of dollars to trade. With such a high leverage what seems like an insignificant move of a tenth of a penny could mean $100 for the trader. Now imagine with bigger lots and several trades a day with several pips (one pip is usually 0.0001$ change) of profit per day could bring an income much higher than any other paying job. Depending on your goals you may either lose thousands, win thousands, or gain millions. The upside to the market is so much higher because if you take out your initial deposit after your first few trades, the rest of the money is for playing purposes.

I hope I didn't run on too much but the forex is by far (IMO) the best market to trade on

Policies for new investment are becoming more important in order to minimize risk, as well as to maintain high portfolio returns. The world market throughout the globe has changed a lot. Among the most rewarding of the markets opening up to traders is the Foreign Exchange market (‘Forex’ in short). You can go through the various training sites; fortunately I came across forexplane.com, which gives about innumerable training aspects. Moreover identifiable trading patterns, as well as comparatively low margin requirements, have rewarding trading opportunities for many.
