For decades, those who could afford it, invested in the stock market, riding the highs and lows, either making a killing, or losing their shirts. The ability to invest in Wall Street was reserved for those who had disposable income; those who could afford to risk loss and pay high fees to brokers.

With the advent of the Internet, day trading went online. Brokerage firms set up web sites for their clients to be able to take a more active role in their investments. Smaller brokerages began popping up everywhere, offering more affordable rates so that investing in Wall Street was no longer for the elite only.

For decades, those who could afford it, invested in the stock market, riding the highs and lows, either making a killing, or losing their shirts. The ability to invest in Wall Street was reserved for those who had disposable income; those who could afford to risk loss and pay high fees to brokers. With the advent of the Internet, day trading went online. Brokerage firms set up web sites for their clients to be able to take a more active role in their investments. Smaller brokerages began popping up everywhere, offering more affordable rates so that investing in Wall Street was no longer for the elite only. The average person can now go online, open an account with any of hundreds of brokers, and start trading. It didn't take long for online day trading to become a national feeding frenzy, everyone wanting their share of the pie. The latest craze in the investment world is foreign currency exchange. The foreign exchange market, or FOREX, does an average daily turnover of more than $1.9 trillion. That is more than 30 times the combined volume of all U.S. equity markets. The FOREX trades 24 hours a day, unlike U.S commodities on the stock exchange, allowing investors to transact business in real time. Whereas stock market traders must wait for the market to open each day, FOREX traders can buy and sell currency any time of the day or night. Currency is traded in pairs. The most commonly traded (liquid) currencies are referred to as, 'The Majors,' and include the U.S Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Japanese Yen, the Euro, British Pound, Swiss Franc and the Australian Dollar. The concept is the same as trading stocks; buy low and sell high. However, you are not dealing in commodities, but in cash. You buy one currency and sell another. Because of the complexity of trading, there are many brokers available to assist in these transactions, and there are also many trading courses for those who'd prefer to learn the process and manage their own funds. Typically, these courses are expensive and take time to complete. For those who would rather dive into FOREX trading, without going through the learning process, and still have 100% control of their portfolio, there is a company that has developed a sophisticated software application to get the job done. This company is Freedom Rocks. Freedom Rocks allows new investors the ability to try trading, without risk, by first setting up a demo account. Their program also allows individuals to open a live account and start trading with a lower investment than traditional trading firms.
