What is Forex Trading?
Margin foreign exchange is a contract between two parties agreeing to exchange the difference in the value of a currency between the time the position is opened and the time it is closed.
The main advantage of foreign exchange (Forex) is that it remains open around the clock—24 hours a day, 5 days a week. This allows traders to buy and sell from Sunday night to Friday night, speculating on global currency flows and economic news. Forex is also the largest and most liquid market in the world, making it a space for fair competition and true price discovery.

Key Benefits of Forex Trading
1. 24-Hour Market
The Forex market is open 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. Trading begins when major global financial centers open, starting in New Zealand on Sunday evening and closing after New York’s market shuts on Friday. The highest liquidity occurs when multiple time zones overlap.
2. Market Transparency
In some exchange-based markets, larger players can manipulate prices to gain an advantage. Due to the deep liquidity of the Forex market, it is nearly impossible to interfere with market forces. This results in a fair and transparent trading environment for all participants.
3. Trade Rising & Falling Markets
There are no restrictions on which direction you can trade in Forex.
- If you believe a currency pair will increase in value, you can buy it ("go long").
- If you think it will decrease in value, you can sell it ("go short").
This flexibility allows traders to capitalize on market movements in both directions.
4. Leverage
Forex can be traded on leverage, meaning you can control a larger position with a smaller investment.
For example, with $1,000 in your trading account and leverage of 1:100, you can open a position worth $100,000.
However, while leverage can increase potential profits, it also magnifies potential losses—so risk management is essential.
5. Accessibility &
Convenience
Trading Forex requires a lower capital investment compared to other financial markets. Additionally, WaveTrade provides access to multiple desktop and mobile trading platforms, ensuring you can trade anytime, anywhere.
6. Volatility & Trading Opportunities
The Forex market sees trillions of dollars traded daily, creating constant market movements and trading opportunities. Whether you prefer low-risk strategies or high-frequency trading, you can choose currency pairs that suit your style.
- Beginner traders may prefer the AUD/NZD due to its lower volatility and spreads.
- Advanced traders may focus on major pairs like EUR/USD, which offer greater liquidity and price action.
