What is Forex (FX) and Why Do Traders Love It?
Forex, or FX, stands for the foreign exchange market, where currencies are traded. It’s the largest and most liquid financial market in the world, with a daily trading volume exceeding $6 trillion. Unlike traditional stock markets, forex trading involves buying and selling currencies to profit from fluctuations in their exchange rates.
When you trade in the forex market, you're essentially betting on the relative value of one currency against another. For example, you might buy the Euro (EUR) while simultaneously selling the US Dollar (USD), aiming to profit from changes in the EUR/USD exchange rate.
How the Global Currency Market Works
The currency market is the largest investment market globally, where national currencies like the US dollar (USD) or the Japanese yen (JPY) are exchanged. Currencies are listed in pairs, such as USDJPY 149.5190, meaning you can buy one lot (100,000 USD) for 14,951,900 JPY.
Most private traders do not have enough funds to buy an entire lot. Spire Capital Markets Ltd Market allows you to trade 0.01 lots and use margin trading to profit from Forex pairs, even with small deposits.
To make a profit in the Forex market, you can buy a pair and wait for its price to grow before selling it, or sell a pair and repurchase it when the price decreases.
