Using a trading platform
When it comes to choosing a trading platform, there are several factors to consider. A trading terminal is very important because it allows you to set automatic stop limits and guaranteed stop losses. Many trading platforms include a trailing limit, which adjusts your stop limit automatically as the price fluctuates. This helps lock in your profits and minimize your losses. Trades can be made more successful by using advanced indicators such as the renko charts.
Leverage
Forex traders have the ability to leverage high amounts of capital to increase their profits. Your initial capital can be leveraged up to one-five hundred times. Many forex brokers offer commission-free trading. The commission for trading in currency futures is not included in forex brokers' fees. Leverage for futures trading generally is lower than forex. Leverage in forex trading can be expressed as a percentage or the total transaction value.
Points in Percentage
Two units are used in foreign currency trading: Percentage in Point and points in percentage. Points are the smallest increment for currency price changes and they represent 0.0001 of percent. In most currency pairs, this would be one tenth of a point. In this case, the currency pair you trade in would be worth one hundred points. The difference between a Canadian Dollar and a US Dollar is 1 point per cent, or 0.0001.
Currency pairs
Currency pairs are used to trade one currency for another. The exchange rate of the base currencies is used to calculate the price for one currency pairing. This amount is then converted into the quoted currency. If the EUR/USD price changes from $1.12925-1.12935, one pip is transferred. Although technically you can trade any currency anywhere in the world you will be restricted to the currencies offered only by your Forex broker.
FAQ

How does the stock market work?
When you buy a share of stock, you are buying ownership rights to part of the company. The company has some rights that a shareholder can exercise. He/she may vote on major policies or resolutions. He/she can seek compensation for the damages caused by company. He/she may also sue for breach of contract.
A company cannot issue more shares that its total assets minus liabilities. This is called capital adequacy.
A company with a high capital adequacy ratio is considered safe. Companies with low ratios of capital adequacy are more risky.
How does inflation affect stock markets?
Inflation can affect the stock market because investors have to pay more dollars each year for goods or services. As prices rise, stocks fall. It is important that you always purchase shares when they are at their lowest price.
What is a bond?
A bond agreement between two parties where money changes hands for goods and services. It is also known as a contract.
A bond is typically written on paper and signed between the parties. This document details the date, amount owed, interest rates, and other pertinent information.
When there are risks involved, like a company going bankrupt or a person breaking a promise, the bond is used.
Bonds can often be combined with other loans such as mortgages. The borrower will have to repay the loan and pay any interest.
Bonds can also raise money to finance large projects like the building of bridges and roads or hospitals.
A bond becomes due when it matures. This means that the bond's owner will be paid the principal and any interest.
Lenders are responsible for paying back any unpaid bonds.
Are bonds tradeable?
Yes, they are. Bonds are traded on exchanges just as shares are. They have been for many, many years.
You cannot purchase a bond directly through an issuer. You must go through a broker who buys them on your behalf.
This makes it easier to purchase bonds as there are fewer intermediaries. This means you need to find someone willing and able to buy your bonds.
There are many kinds of bonds. Some bonds pay interest at regular intervals and others do not.
Some pay quarterly, while others pay interest each year. These differences make it easy for bonds to be compared.
Bonds are great for investing. For example, if you invest PS10,000 in a savings account, you would earn 0.75% interest per year. You would earn 12.5% per annum if you put the same amount into a 10-year government bond.
If you were to put all of these investments into a portfolio, then the total return over ten years would be higher using the bond investment.
