Forex is short for the foreign exchange market. Also known as FX, or currency trading, it describes the currency exchange market. Buying and selling positions at agreed prices is the basis of the forex market. It is a decentralized and digital network of banks, brokers, and traders, exchanging more than $5 trillion daily.
Forex is the currency exchange market. Forex trading means trading CFDs for a currency pair such as the Euro and U.S. Dollar (EURUSD for short). The prices are quoted from one currency to another. Traders invest and open a position in the market, speculating on how this price will change over time. If the price of EURUSD changes according to your prediction, you profit.
When trading currencies, you speculate on the price. You open either a long (buy) or short (sell) position, assuming the currency's value increases or decreases. The price is collectively determined by the positions opened by millions of other forex traders, including yours.
Think of it as a 'tug of war' where millions of traders are holding a rope. One side is buying, the other is selling. When a trader opens a position, they grab one end of the rope. When happy with the current price, they close the position and thus 'let go' off the rope.
Without an official regulator or state involved, this is pretty much how pricing is determined. But not everyone has the same amount of investment. Larger investments will definitely impact the direction and pricing of markets slightly more than small investments. Still, the market is so deep that even the biggest players can never shape or corner it.
Quantum Equity offers MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 platforms to access the forex market. These platforms inherently contain analysis charts to predict market sentiments and trade better. We also have tools and forex signals to analyze the markets and price actions more efficiently. Forex beginners should study our free trading materials to learn how to read charts before starting currency trading online.
Yes, forex trading is risky as the markets are volatile and require close monitoring. With sharp price movements, you might lose the margin necessary to keep a position open. It means you can lose your investment quickly. Quantum Equity offers a stop-loss mechanism and regularly warns clients to protect them against such erratic movements.
If you lack experience or free time for forex trading, consider copying successful strategies or joining our social trading program to invest.

Brokers offer margin trading, providing leverage for clients. It means forex traders can take larger positions than their actual investments in the market. Unlike traditional investment methods, you can profit even if the asset (in this case, the FX pair) actually decreases in value.
