What is a Forex Broker

A Forex broker is very similar to a stock broker, and many new online Forex brokerages have recently emerged. The key difference is that Forex brokers deal only in currency exchange investments.

Similar to securities brokerages, Forex brokers come in all sizes, shapes, and levels of service. An online Forex broker provides minimal service at minimal cost. If you require more advice and expert guidance, there are many full service Forex brokers available, as well.

If you do go with an online broker, make sure that you choose one that has an extensive online knowledge base and 24/7 support so that you can execute all trades wisely, and quickly.
