COMMON QUESTIONS
Forex questions
What is forex trading?
Forex is the exchange of one currency for another. Traders take a view on whether one currency will strengthen or weaken against another, and profit from the change in the exchange rate.
When is the forex market open?
The forex market trades continuously from Sunday evening to Friday evening UTC, moving through the Sydney, Tokyo, London and New York sessions.
What moves currency prices?
Interest rates, inflation, central-bank policy, employment data and geopolitical events all influence exchange rates. Scheduled announcements often produce the sharpest moves.
What is a pip?
A pip is the standard unit used to measure a change in a currency pair. For most pairs it is the fourth decimal place; for yen pairs it is the second.
Is forex trading risky?
Yes. Leverage can amplify losses as well as gains, and prices can move quickly around news events. Understand margin, use stop-losses and never risk more than you can afford to lose.
