Welcome to the World of Forex Trading

Are you curious about Forex trading but don’t know where to start? You’ve come to the right place! Our Zero to Hero Forex Trading Course is designed to guide you from the basics to becoming an expert trader. In this first lesson, we’ll introduce you to the exciting world of Forex trading.

What is Forex Trading?

Forex, short for foreign exchange, refers to the global marketplace for buying and selling currencies from other countries such as US Dollar, Japanese Yen, British Pound, etc. This market opens at Monday morning and closes at Friday night, allowing traders from all around the world to participate at any time except for the weekend.

Understanding the Forex Market

The Forex market is the largest market in the world, with an average amount of daily currencies bought and sold exceeding $6 trillion.

Currency Pairs

In Forex trading, currencies are traded in pairs, such as EUR/USD (Euro/US Dollar) or GBP/JPY (British Pound/Japanese Yen). The first currency in the pair is known as the base currency, and the second as the quote currency. So for an example of EUR/USD let’s say the current market is at 1.08. Therefore it says that 1.08 USD is needed to buy 1 EURO.

How to Get Started

• Learn the Basics: Understanding terms used in Forex and learning market principles are crucial.
• Choose a Reliable Broker: Buying and selling currencies are done through a Forex Broker. Select a reputable broker that offers a user-friendly platform and low fees.
• Open a Demo Account: Practice trading without risking real money. That means you can start trading using a dummy account which has no real money.
• Develop a Trading Plan: After hours in the market you will have to come up with a strategy on when to buy currencies, when to sell them. And also how much to buy or sell. This comes after countless hours of being with the market.
• Stay Informed: Keep up with market news, economic reports, and geopolitical events that can affect market prices.

Forex trading requires knowledge, discipline, and practice. As you start this journey, our Zero to Hero Forex Trading Course will provide you with all the tools and lessons needed to succeed.
