Forex trading involves buying one currency and selling another simultaneously. Through careful analysis, traders predict the possible direction of a currency’s prices and try to make profits based on those price fluctuations. There is no centralized marketplace to trade Forex. Instead, everything is done electronically or over the Internet, between global computer networks. The market is open 24 hours a day, 5 days a week.
A CFD or “Contract for Difference” is a derivative product that allows you to trade the price movements of assets and indices in local and international markets. Although they are complex, what they offer to traders is quite simple. CFDs allow you to enter the market with only a fraction of the value of the asset you are buying, which increases the potential for profit and loss, also known as leverage.
Since CFDs focus on price movements, it is also possible to short a commodity, which means that the trader expects the price of an asset to decline and profits from this movement. Lastly, they allow the trader to take a position without having to take ownership of the underlying asset. This makes CFDs ideal for traders who want to gain greater market exposure for a fraction of the full value, while being able to enter and exit trades quickly.
With CFDs you do not own the actual assets. Rather, you trade the difference in the prices of the underlying assets between the time the contract was opened and the time it was closed. This date for the closing or maturity of the contract is not fixed, which differentiates CFDs from other types of derivatives, such as futures.
Your contract can be short term, or continue long term.
One advantage of trading CFDs is that you can speculate on price movements in any direction, up or down. The profit or loss you obtain will depend on whether your forecast is fulfilled. With CFDs you can trade a wide variety of assets, including currencies, shares, indices, cryptocurrencies (including bitcoin) and commodities. But it is necessary to understand how this CFD works before trying your luck with it.
To understand the entire process you first have to understand the concept of margin based trading. Leveraged CFDs allow you to have broad exposure to price movements without having to invest in the full value traded. This means that leverage allows you to gain broader exposure to the market than you could have with the capital in your trading account.
