Cash Forex trading offers many unique advantages compared to trading other financial instruments:
24-Hour Market Action
The Forex currency markets are a 24-hour marketplace, starting from 5 p.m. ET Sunday
to 5 p.m. ET on Friday. This gives you the flexibility to trade the Forex markets fulltime
or part-time, whenever your schedule or lifestyle permits.
Liquidity
As the largest markets in the world, the cash Forex markets offer excellent liquidity at all
hours of the trading day, unlike many other 24-hour markets. This means you can trade
large amounts of currency into and out of foreign currency markets with little market
impact.
Leverage
Cash Forex trading allows you to leverage up to 50 times your account value on most
major forex pairs, minor pairs offer 20 to 1 margin. These leverage amounts may
change or may not be available at all times. For example, with 50:1 leverage, you
maycontrol100,000 units of the Euro quoted at $1.3000, using only $2,600. Remember
that while leverage can help build profits quickly, it can also produce large catastrophic
losses quickly.
Trading Opportunities
In addition to technical trading, the Forex markets offer unique opportunities to trade
foreign currency exchange rates to take advantage of international news, economic
indicators, and interest rate changes and differentials.
