which country trades forex the most

I think the USA.
United States don't trade forex because they banned offshore fx brokers. If we consider exchange traded contracts with currency pair as an underlying asset, I think US traders are the most active and proficient participants.

Same thing. ;)
 
I think South Asia is the most active region because people there believe they can be rich trading or trading FX. Many other countries have bad experience with forex companies and reputation of the industry is unfortunately tarnished there.
 
I think it's Asia that sells the most. They have everything for this - more or less loyal legislation, large financial turnover and the main knowledge, there are much more literate and educated people.
 
As for me everybody's trading now, everywhere. Now trading is forbidden only in Muslim countries, as far as I know, and there are plenty of those who want to.
 
Not forbidden either in Muslim countries i believe, which country specifically are you referring to.. ? I just had heard that it happened in Malaysia some time ago but i am not sure if they are following the rules or still trading online.
 
It seems to me that the most traded in Europe, there are good conditions for forex trading, but binary options as far as I know are prohibited there...
 
Hi, I'm doing some research into Forex and wondered if anyone could help me. I am trying to find out which country trades Forex the most i.e. which nationality is the most active in their Forex trading.
Hope someone can help.

Many thanks

Probably the US/UK.
 
Interesting question indeed!

Well, based on population, I would say China with population of 1.3 billion, followed by India with 1.22 billion....but then, it's all rather subjective and depends largely on their population earning & spending power.

For now, I would say the USA, USSR, EU, GB, CAD, AUS, JPY......etc.

For country with the most brokers, Russia takes the cake as they seems to be churning them out by the day.

But, I am very sure some other FPA members will be along soon and be able to provide an in-depth analysis of the forex population ;)
USSR? I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist anymore :)
