What is Forex

Currency pairs fluctuate rapidly by fractions of a cent. To make the most of these, you need a broker with the risk orders in place to protect your investment. You’ll also need a healthy level of leverage to increase the significance of each movement. But beware – that leverage will enlarge your losses as well as your profits. Still, with most of the fluctuations generated by the news and public announcements, you’ll have chances to recognise the next trading opportunity. Simply do your homework, allow for time to learn and before you know it, you’ll be hooked on trading current affairs. Learn More

FOREX (FOReign EXchange) refers to the trading of one currency for another. The FOREX market includes all currency exchanges and counts for over 6½ trillion dollars a day in transactions. In forex trading, we invest in the relative exchange rates of currency pairs. The Euro-US Dollar, for example, is valued at the dollar exchange rate for one Euro. It’s worth the amount of dollars required to either buy or sell a Euro. That value rises and falls depending on supply and demand, which changes constantly. When you close the position, you will either claim the win & or lose the position. Learn More
