Why Trade Forex?

Why Trade Forex?

The forex market is the international marketplace where countries illustrate their economic power as their currencies strengthen or weaken against competing nations. Buy and Sell the world’s most popular currencies as they strive to prevail against each other. 

Increase your buying power by utilising leverage to increase the size of your forex positions on popular currency pairs such as EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, and many more. If you’re new to trading or investing, check out our beginners guide to the financial markets.

Forex Market Trading Hours

This Is When The Forex Market Sleeps.

You may have heard the forex market is open 24 hours a day, five days a week. That’s not strictly true. All the big banks take a few minutes to break between the New York close and the Sydney open. During this time, the markets can become volatile, so like many brokers, we also take a break and stop trading briefly.
