Forex/CFD Trading Guide

What are Forex/CFD?

Forex trading is exchanging a certain currency for another, generating profits or losses for the changes in the value of these currencies.

CFDs – contracts for difference, CFDs are a derivative product that a trader can trade on the difference between the prices on these assets.

Another benefit to forex trading is that anyone can participate with just a small initial investment.

There is a tradeoff however.

The small capital requirements in trading forex are due to the use of leverage when trading forex. For example, if the leverage used is 1:50, this means that an investor can control $5,000 worth of currencies with an investment of as little as $100.

While this can generate profits more rapidly, it can also lead to losses more rapidly and if the traders account is small they may soon find themselves the victim of a margin call and the loss of all their trading capital.

Trading on FX or CFD’s – This nature of trading can be risky and we recommend that our traders will make sure that they fully understand the commitment needed for trading.

The main advantage of trading on Forex and CFD’s is the volume involved and the non-stop liquidity (mainly in Forex) with a daily turnover, exceeding 5 trillion USD is active 24/5 and is extremely volatile, with prices constantly fluctuating.
