| Margin required is: | 1,217,450 USD / 400 = 3,043.63 USD |
Forex, short for foreign exchange, is a decentralized global market where currencies are traded. One of the key advantages of forex trading is that it allows individuals and institutions to seize trading opportunities on currency volatility. This is because the value of currencies is constantly changing in response to various economic and geopolitical factors, such as interest rates, inflation, political instability, and natural disasters.
By trading Forex CFDs, individuals can buy and sell currencies with the aim of making a profit from the difference in exchange rates. For example, if you believe that the value of the US Dollar will increase against the Euro, you can buy US Dollars with Euros at the current exchange rate. If your prediction is correct and the value of the US Dollar does increase, you can sell your US Dollars for more Euros than you originally paid, making a profit.
Forex trading also offers several other advantages, such as leveraged trading, high liquidity, low transaction costs, and the ability to trade 24 hours a day, five days a week. You can choose between the MT4 and MT5 platforms and the HFM App to start trading Forex.
HFM has created a dedicated page on What Forex Trading is.
