What is forex?

The Foreign Exchange market, also referred to as the "forex" or "FX" market, is the largest financial market in the world, with a daily average turnover of approximately US$1.5 trillion. Foreign Exchange is the simultaneous buying of one currency and selling of another. The world's currencies are on a floating exchange rate and are always traded in pairs, for example Euro/Dollar, Dollar/Yen, Dollar/Franc, Euro/Yen etc. Only the “Majors” or “Hard” currencies are traded with the managed accounts provided through Visibility Concepts.

How do I access the software  if I am behind a firewall or use a proxy server?

In order to access the software while running through a proxy server, it is necessary to make sure that the proxy server has port 8080 open for bi-directional traffic as well as have all ports from 1024 and up open to send data. If it is not possible for the proxy server to accommodate this, it may be necessary to request a connection separate from the proxy server in order to facilitate connection to the software. It would be good to note that the requirements for a proxy server are the same as what is needed to access the software while behind a firewall. Once again, port 8080 must be open for bi-directional traffic and all ports from 1024 and up open to send data.
