The global currency market, also referred to as the foreign exchange market (Forex, FX, or currency market), operates worldwide in a decentralized or over-the-counter (OTC) manner, facilitating the exchange of different currencies. This market determines the exchange rates between currencies, encompassing all aspects of buying, selling, and trading currencies at prevailing or agreed-upon prices. With regards to trading volume, it stands as the largest market globally, surpassing even the credit markets. Participating in the Forex market requires more than mere naivety; it demands a systematic understanding of investors' perceptions, which this study aims to explore in depth. By analyzing investors' attitudes and perceptions towards Forex based on demographic factors, this research seeks to shed light on their perspectives.
