Access to foreign exchange (forex)

Access to foreign exchange (forex), the most extensive market on the planet, is generally through an intermediary known as a forex broker. Similar to a stock broker, these agents can also provide advice on forex trading strategies. This advice to clients often extends to technical analysis and research approaches designed to improve client forex trading performance.
Any company that conducts its business in another currency is exposed to currency risk (or foreign exchange risk, or exchange rate risk). However, this risk is present only if the company's sales currency differs from the company's cost currency – if a company's revenues and expenses are both denominated in the same foreign currency, there is no foreign exchange risk.
