The complete forex trading experience

Financial markets are how people and companies buy and sell assets: futures, options, shares, indices, currencies, commodities, and much more.

People have traded financial markets for hundreds of years. They grew out of a practical need: to help people buy and sell things more efficiently, and to help companies that need money to raise it quickly.

Forex trading is the buying and selling of global currencies. It’s how individuals, businesses, central banks and governments pay for goods and services in other economies.

However, the vast majority of forex trades aren’t for practical purposes. Speculative FX traders seek to profit from fluctuations in the exchange rates between currencies, speculating on whether one will go up or down in value compared to another.
