What is forex trading?
Forex trading is a global business that involves the exchange of currencies and other valuable financial assets at the exchange market. It comes in various forms such as CFDs, Futures, and Spot trading.
How do traders make profits from forex trading?
Generally, forex traders make profits from the market by making the correct predictions. Making correct predictions here entails taking a 'long' position when the prices of the assets are set to rise and then taking the opposite which is 'Shorting' when the prices are set to fall. Very often, some traders utilize the leverage provided by brokers to maximize their profits.
Is forex trading profitable?
Forex trading could be considered profitable when the trader makes the correct predictions for the future prices of the assets traded. On the contrary, the trader may incur some losses should the market go contrary to his positions. It is therefore necessary that all forex traders should understand the market movement pattern before taking any positions in the market.
What is the average amount made by forex traders?
Very often, the amount realized as profits by forex traders varies based on their account size and the lot size used in trading. While investors with large capital and trading with larger lot size could make more profits from the market, the amount realized by traders using smaller amounts depends on the leverage they use in trading.
