How can I Participate?

From 1971 until recently, the real owners of this market were banks, a multinational corporation and large brokerage houses. If an individual investor wanted to invest in the market, they would have to invest about a million dollars together with a bank to satisfy the requirement of acceptable transaction size of 5 to 10 million dollars. Brokerage houses would provide a little better option of reducing the required deposit to a quarter of a million dollars.

Yet now, Forex market is open to the small individual investors. Unlike the previosly required enormous deposits, current significantly reduced margin requirements has, at last, become affordable for almost any person allowing them to run with the big dogs. Aside from that, small investors may use Internet to their advantage, making this market just as easily accessible as it used to be only for high rollers.
