Forex trading

- Margin foreign exchange products are a subset of foreign exchange trading that allows you an opportunity to trade FX on a leveraged basis.
- Instead of buying the whole face value of an FX contract, you pay only a small margin of the face value of the currency traded and have the benefit/cost of fluctuations of the currency.
- There is always a long (bought) and a short (sold) side Forex trading, which means that you are speculating on the prospect of one of the currencies strengthening and one of the currencies weakening.
