What is a Forex Trader?
A forex trader buys and sells currency pairs with the goal of profiting from price fluctuations in the global currency market, or forex market. The forex market is the world’s largest financial market, with a daily trading volume exceeding $7.5 trillion, and it operates 24 hours a day, five days a week.
How forex trading works
Forex trading is the exchange of currencies in the global market, where traders aim to capitalise on fluctuations in exchange rates. With over 70 currency pairs available, including popular ones like EUR/USD and GBP/USD, forex trading operates around the clock. For example, a trader may buy the EUR/USD currency pair if they expect the euro to strengthen against the U.S. dollar, planning to sell it later at a higher price. Even small exchange rate movements can result in profit or loss, so forex trading requires attention to detail, quick decisions, and strategic analysis.
Key elements of forex trading
Successful forex trading relies on three main factors:
Timing
Knowing the right moments to enter and exit trades is essential, as the forex market can move rapidly, especially during high-volume trading hours.
Market knowledge
Traders use a combination of technical analysis, fundamental analysis, and economic indicators to guide their decisions.
Capitalising on currency movements
Forex traders aim to profit from small or large shifts in currency values, leveraging these fluctuations to expand their trading accounts.
