The Widespread use of broadband Internet services has transformed forex trading from an activity limited to banks, hedge funds, and investors with deep pockets and good banking relationships, into an activity that almost anyone can undertake from their home or office computer.

Online forex dealing firms now offer the small retail trader free access to trading platforms and live data feeds that just a few years ago would have cost hundreds, even thousands, of dollars a month in fees. This and the prospect of making large returns on investment has lead to an explosion of online forex trading activity. Forex trading accounts can be opened for as little as $250 and free demo accounts are readily available.
