What is Forex trading?

Forex trades include a combination of two currencies (called a cross or currency pair) in which one currency is bought (long) and the other is sold (short).

A trader speculates on the prospect of one of the currencies appreciating in value in relation to the other. A successful trade correctly anticipates the fluctuation in exchange rate between the currencies.

Forex is traded on margin

The industry practice is to trade FX with leverage (compared to e.g. Stock trading) as currency exchange rate fluctuations tend to be relatively small even on volatile days. When opening a position the trader only places a small amount (called "margin") of the total nominal value of the position. Margin trading allows traders to buy and sell positions that have a greater value than the capital in their account.

Margin Trading carries a high level of risk to your capital with the possibility of losing more than your initial investment and may not be suitable for all traders. Ensure you fully understand the risks involved and seek independent advice if necessary.
