We all know that in the world of commercial transactions there is nothing better than dealing with the direct manufacturer or producer of a particular item. The more margin left for a profit the better the business will be for you with that particular product. So cutting middlemen is just a simple and healthy business practice.

The good news is that Forex trading shares this healthy business practice. There is no middle man in Forex land. When you enter your trades you are entering it directly to the market. Yes there are forex brokers, but they are compensated for their services through something called the bid-ask spread. In short when you are trading in the currency markets there are no commissions, no clearing fees, no exchange fees, no government fees, no brokerage fees. It is spot currency trading that eliminates the middlemen. For some it may sound like the dreamland of any libertarian.

Another great advantage of trading forex is that there is no fixed lot size. For example when trading futures, lot sizes are determined by the exchanges. When you are trading Forex, you determine your own lot size. This allows traders to participate with small accounts also called Mini-accounts.

Additionally Forex has very low transaction costs. The bid/ask spread is typically less than 0.1 percent under normal market conditions. But things can get better with the large dealers, with them the spread could be as low as .07 percent. These are margins that very hardly you will find in any other of the capital markets. These are only a few reasons why you should try Forex before any other capital markets. You won't regret it.
