Forex Trading
Forex trading can be profitable, but it’s definitely risky if you don’t know what you’re doing. It involves buying and selling currencies in the foreign exchange market.
You trade currency pairs, like EUR/USD or GBP/JPY. The goal is to predict whether one currency will rise or fall in value compared to the other. If you get it right, you make a profit. If you get it wrong, you lose money.
So, it’s kind of like stock trading, but with currencies instead?
Exactly! But Forex is open 24/5, unlike the stock market, which has fixed trading hours. And since it’s a global market, prices are constantly changing due to economic news, political events, and interest rates.Maverick wrote: ↑Wed Mar 19, 2025 5:11 amSo, it’s kind of like stock trading, but with currencies instead?
