What is Forex Trading?
The term “Forex Trading” stands for foreign exchange and refers to the buying or selling of one currency in exchange for another. Currencies are traded in the foreign exchange market, a global marketplace that’s open 24 hours a day in different parts of the world. All forex trading is conducted over the counter (OTC), meaning there’s no physical exchange and a global network of banks and other financial institutions oversee the market.

What are the Benefits of Forex Trading?

A 24-hour Market
From Monday morning in Australia to the Friday afternoon close in New York, the forex market never sleeps. Forex Trading is not subject to the opening hours of any centralised exchange system. As long as there’s a market open somewhere in the world, deals can take place.
leverage
Benefit From Leverage
In forex trading, a small deposit can control a much larger total contract value. Leverage gives the trader the ability to make nice profits, and at the same time keep risk capital to a minimum. The arrangements in the Forex markets provide investors to lever their original investment by as much as 20 to 30 times and trade in the market. This can magnify both gains and losses.
High-liquidity
High Liquidity
Liquidity refers to the ease with which an asset can be bought or sold with a limited effect on its value. The global scale of foreign exchange combined with the high volume and 24-hour activity, make the forex market the most liquid market in the trading world. This is an advantage because it means that under normal market conditions, with a click of a mouse, you can instantaneously buy and sell at will.
variety

Trading spot currencies involves substantial risk and there is always the potential for loss. Your trading results may vary. Because the risk factor is high in the foreign exchange market trading, only genuine "risk" funds should be used in such trading. If you do not have the extra capital that you can afford to lose, you should not trade in the foreign exchange market. Forex Brokers and ZuluTrade are compensated for their services through the spread between the bid/ask prices or there may be a cost to initiate a trade through the bid/ask spread. Profit sharing accounts are subject to a monthly performance fee per selected trading system.
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program.
One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
