Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about currency exchange and trading
What factors influence exchange rates?
Exchange rates are influenced by multiple factors including interest rates, inflation, political stability, economic performance, government debt, and terms of trade. Central bank decisions and geopolitical events can also have significant impacts on currency values.
What is the spread in currency trading?
The spread is the difference between the buying (ask) and selling (bid) price of a currency pair. It represents the cost of trading and is how many brokers make their money. Typically, more liquid currency pairs have lower spreads.
When is the forex market open?
The forex market is open 24 hours a day, five days a week. Trading begins in Sydney, then moves to Tokyo, London, and New York. The most active trading periods are when multiple major markets overlap.
What is leverage in forex trading?
Leverage allows traders to control a large position with a small amount of capital. For example, 50:1 leverage means you can control $50,000 with $1,000. While leverage can amplify profits, it also increases potential losses.
How do I read currency pairs?
Currency pairs show how much of the quote currency (second currency) is needed to purchase one unit of the base currency (first currency). For example, in EUR/USD, EUR is the base currency and USD is the quote currency.
What is technical analysis?
Technical analysis involves studying price charts and using statistical indicators to determine future currency movements. Common tools include moving averages, relative strength index (RSI), and Fibonacci retracements.
