How to begin Forex trading

What is the forex market? Forex is an international online currency market where national and regional currencies are traded: USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, and others. Every day, Forex determines an exchange rate of a particular currency: the current exchange rate of the EUR/USD pair (the euro against the US dollar) is 1.2345, while it stood at 1.2250 yesterday.

Participants in the forex market tend to exchange currencies at the same price (deal opening) and conduct opposite currency exchange operations (deal closing) in order to derive profit from the rate differences, even a slight change of which enables them to make a sizable profit commensurate with stock trading.

Should I wait for high and rapid returns? "No!" and "Not rapid" - these are the two only possible answers to both questions. Of course, there were cases when beginners scooped a large profit following the first deals. But these are isolated cases and there is no point in hoping for them. Foreign exchange trading is fascinating, lively, and even hazardous way of working! In order to provide yourself with a stable income that can improve the quality of life, you will have to be patient and work hard. Patience can ensure that you gain the required experience, while hard work can help you acquire knowledge and test dozens of strategies and trading methods. However, Forex is not alchemy but a completely independent mathematically behavioral model that is governed by its own rules, which guarantees the result to every patient and industrious trader. Any work must have its reward and the work of a trader as well.

Can I trade on Forex without risk and investment? Yes,you can, but only using a DEMO account. Indeed, any participation in a particular financial market involves investment and risk. However, in the foreign exchange market, the amount of investment, the level of risk, and the moment of its occurrence depend only on you. You are able to trade just with one dollar or a few cents.

What are the types of accounts and how do they differ?

Insta.Standard is the most popular account offering standard trading conditions without fees but with a fixed spread per deal. Here, it is possible to start trading with any deposit size and change the level of leverage when necessary.

Insta.Eurica implies trading without spreads, due to which the BID price is always equal to the ASK price. This account is suitable for beginning traders. All pending orders are executed exactly when the price reaches these values.

Cent.Standard and Cent.Eurica will be good for beginners who are just learning to trade. Thanks to Micro Forex, the trade size of 0.0001 in this type of account enables traders to study almost without risk to a deposit. It is also suitable for testing strategies.

What is the forex trading software? At present, the most popular software is the MetaTrader4 and MetaTrader5 platforms. The majority of traders around the world use these platforms as the main technical instrument for trading in the foreign exchange market. In addition, most forex trading strategies, advisors, indicators, and signals are created precisely for MT4 and MT5.

Social trading combines communicative platforms and speculative currency trading which implies publicity and full access to information about trading operations. As in social media, there are popular traders in the forex market who are monitored for their activities and whose strategies are copied by less successful members of the forex community. However, all of them share the common objective - profit-making and its growth.

The most popular product of social trading is ForexCopy from InstaForex.
