How does Forex
Trading work?
Forex trading is akin to trading shares or futures, but instead of taking delivery of the underlying asset, you buy or sell one currency against another. A key advantage of Forex is the ability to trade relatively small lot sizes, starting as low as 1,000 units (one micro lot). Additionally, Forex trading often involves leverage, which can reach up to 1:1000—quite different from share trading, where leverage is typically not used.
