What is Forex Trading?

Forex trading (Foreign Exchange Trading) refers to the trading of currencies on the foreign exchange market—the largest and most liquid financial market in the world. Every day, trillions of dollars are traded globally in this market.

How Does Forex Trading Work?
  • You always trade currency pairs:
    Example: EUR/USD – you buy euros and simultaneously sell US dollars, or vice versa.
  • Profiting from price movements:
    You speculate that one currency will rise or fall against another.
    → If the euro strengthens against the dollar, you profit from a “Buy” (long position).
  • Leverage:
    The forex market allows you to control large positions with relatively small capital (margin).
    Example: With $100 and a leverage of 1:30, you can control a position worth $3,000.
  • Trading around the clock:
    The forex market is open 24 hours a day, five days a week (24/5).
    Key trading sessions:
    – Asia (Tokyo)
    – Europe (London)
    – USA (New York)
Why Do So Many People Trade Forex?
  • Extremely liquid markets (always buyers and sellers available)
  • Low barriers to entry (possible to start with little capital)
  • High flexibility (trade at almost any time)
  • Leverage for potentially higher profits (but also higher risk!)

Example of a Forex Trade

  1. You expect the euro (EUR) to strengthen against the US dollar (USD).

  2. You open a buy position on EUR/USD.

  3. If the price rises, you make a profit.

  4. If the price falls, you incur a loss.

What Do You Need to Get Started?

  • An account with a forex broker such as Eurotrade SA

  • The MetaTrader trading platform (MT4/MT5)

  • A free demo account or a real account – you can start risk-free with a demo account to practice, or use a real account to trade with actual money

  • A trusted signal provider such as LibertyTrader.ai for professional trading signals

  • A basic understanding of the markets and risk management

We strongly recommend that beginners start with a free demo account. This allows you to familiarize yourself with the trading platform, test strategies, and follow trading signals—without risking any real money.

Important Note:

Forex trading is not gambling—it requires knowledge, discipline, and solid money management.
Always trade only with capital you can afford to lose!
