Low initial capital requirements: You really need not be rich before you can start currency trading. A mini-currency account or micro-currency account with a Forex broker, you can open a deposit of around $ 25 - $ 100 dollars.
Cheap to buy and sell: Currency broker normally takes no more than 1 per thousand (0.1%) of the buy-sell spread (difference between buying price and selling price).
Open (almost) every hour: The markets open on Monday morning in Australia, and closed Friday night in New York. In reality, the currency market is open for trading almost the entire week. You can trade at night, in the morning, and all night long on weekdays, whenever it suits you best.
Meaty market: Since the currency market is so large, it's never a problem to sell or buy a currency (good liquidity), even if you are sitting on very large positions can sell or buy instantly. The size also means it will be impossible to manipulate the foreign exchange market (as opposed to equity markets where manipulation is almost commonplace).
