The forex market is not a market literal sense of the word, since it has no center, no place has a certain exercise a trade.

One interesting feature of the currency market is characteristic balance, although this seems strange. Everyone knows that the fundamental characteristic of the financial market is the sudden nosedive. But the forex market is different from the stock market in that it does not fall. When stocks lose value this collapse. But if the dollar falls, for example, that just means that other currency has become stronger - an example of the Japanese yen, which has become in a few months of 1998 the strongest quarter for almost the dollar. This has reached a decline of the dollar for some days in that period of tens of per cent. Although this did not happen collapse of the market and the transactions continued as usual.
