New to forex trading?
Originally, only very large enterprises had access to foreign exchange (forex, fx or currency) trading in the inter-bank business, the largest and most liquid financial market in the world. In this market currencies valued around USD2,000 billion are bought and sold by thousands world-wide participants every day and 24 hours per day.
In the past few years this highly attractive market has become more and more accessible to private clients. The market participants, who are linked world-wide by modern communication systems, control the prices (rates), because this market follows the law of demand and supply.
As a result continuous changes in rates are registered. The trading ( buying and selling of different currencies ) consists of making profitable use of these changes (market fluctuations) on the basis of well-tried currency trading models.
The special advantage of this investment as opposed to traditional investments such as fixed interest shares etc. is that profits can also be made in case for instance the USD is falling instead of rising compared to e.g. the Euro.
A deal is always concluded between two different currencies, with one currency theoretically representing the loan currency (debit) and the other one the investment currency (credit). Results are limited to the amount of the difference between the entrance and exit prices. It is possible to trade currency with up to 100 times or more of your own capital. This is called leverage (gearing). A relatively small market movement will have a proportionately larger impact then on the funds you have deposited or will deposit; This may work as well against you as it does for you.

Risk Disclosure
Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with foreign exchange trading, and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
