Forex
The global currency market — how pairs, pricing and leverage actually work.
Forex is the market where one currency is exchanged for another. Prices move on interest rate expectations, economic data and global capital flows, and the market trades around the clock during the week.
Most retail access is through leveraged products, which magnify both gains and losses. Understanding position sizing matters far more here than picking a direction.
What to be careful of
- Leverage is the main risk driver, not volatility alone
- Spreads and overnight financing costs affect results
- Economic calendars drive short-term moves
Risk warning. Trading leveraged products involves significant risk and may not be suitable for all investors. You should understand the risks before investing.
