Or perhaps you are looking for an investment where you can make your money grow. Are you a student who’s looking for a source of income to make ends meet? If so, then Forex might be something for you!

Simply put, Forex trading pertains to the exchange of currencies. You might be surprised to find out that you have actually been doing Forex all your life, but never knew it. If you have been to a foreign country and have exchanged your currencies, that is already Forex. This is also true for those who have relatives abroad that regularly remit money to the Philippines.
