As defined by the International Trade Commission, Forex is an Over- The- Counter market (OTC) which means that trading occurs between two counter parties through an electronic network. Trading is not centralized on an exchange, as with the stock markets. That means that there is no local position nor central exchange nor clearing hours to match the order. On the contrary, the Forex online trading is available 24 hours a day through an electronic network of banks, institutions and individuals trading one currency for another. Forex traders usually discuss currencies prices ending in the market bid/ask prices which are then supplied into computers and on the official quote screens.
