What is Forex Trading?

CFD (Contract for Difference) forex trading is a form of trading that allows investors to make predictions on the rising or falling prices of fast-moving global financial markets, including forex (foreign exchange market for currencies). In CFD forex trading, instead of actually buying or selling currency, traders enter into a contract with a broker to exchange the difference in the value of a currency pair between the time the contract is opened and when it is closed.

 

Key points about CFD forex trading

  1. Leverage: CFDs are traded on margin, meaning traders can control large positions with a relatively small amount of capital. This leverage can amplify profits but also losses.
  2. Going Long or Short: Traders can make predictions on price movements in either direction. If they expect a currency pair to increase in value, they can go long (buy). Alternatively, if they expect it to decrease, they can go short (sell).
  3. Access to Global Markets: Forex CFDs offer access to all major currency pairs, as well as some minor and exotic pairs.
  4. No Ownership of Physical Assets: In CFD trading, you don’t own the underlying currency. This means you can make predictions on forex market movements without the need to take delivery of the actual currency.
  5. 24/5 Market: The forex market operates 24 hours a day, 5 days a week (Monday through Friday), allowing for continuous trading.
  6. Risk Management Tools: VestoFX offers a range of risk management tools, such as stop-loss orders, which can help traders manage their risk.
  7. Costs and Fees: Trading CFDs involves certain costs, like the spread (difference between the buy and sell price), and overnight holding costs (swap rates).
Risk Warning

Trading in CFDs carry a high level of risk to your capital due to the volatility of the underlying market. These products may not be suitable for all investors. Therefore, you should ensure that you understand the risks and seek advice from an independent and suitably licensed financial advisor.
