WHAT IS CURRENCY TRADING?

Forex, short for foreign exchange, is a decentralized global market where currencies are traded. One of the main benefits of forex trading is that it enables individuals and institutions to take advantage of trading opportunities on currency volatility. This is because currency values fluctuate constantly in relation to various economic and geopolitical factors, such as interest rates, inflation, political instability, and natural disasters.

By trading Forex CFDs, individuals can buy and sell currencies with the goal of making a profit from the difference in exchange rates. For instance, if you think that the US Dollar will appreciate against the Euro, you can buy US Dollars with Euros at the current exchange rate. If your forecast is accurate and the US Dollar does appreciate, you can sell your US Dollars for more Euros than you initially spent, making a profit.

Forex trading also provides several other benefits, such as leveraged trading, high liquidity, low transaction costs, and the ability to trade 24 hours a day, five days a week. You can choose between the MT4 and MT5 platforms and the Damac Markets App to start trading Forex.

  • Sydney session
  • Tokyo session
  • London session
  • New York session

Both the Sydney and Tokyo sessions are customarily referred to as Asian sessions. This is why Forex is usually referred to as the 3-session market: Asian, London, and New York. Trading hours may vary depending on the currency pair you wish to trade.
