What is Forex Trading?

The full form of Forex is Foreign Exchange (FX) Trading, which means to trade in fiat currency pairs. However, in forex, instead of choosing an individual currency, you choose a pair, which is counted as one entity. At present, there are more than 80 fiat pairs that you have access to at Forex. You can choose either of the forex pair and start your trading activities. Some of the trading pairs for Forex include USD/EUR, GBP/CND, JPY/EUR etc.

How Does Forex Work?

In forex trading in Nigeria, you choose a currency pair where the action you take on the first fiat currency has an inverse reaction for the latter currency.  This means that if you go for a buy action, then you buy the first currency and sell the second one and vice versa. You purchase a pair based on their market price and the difference in their price gap. If the gap increases and is bound to bring in more profit for you, then you can make the necessary call and gain profits.

You can continue doing it for as long as you are able to make profits and move to the next pair if the first pair you chose does not bring you much profits.

Most Famous Forex Trading Pair

At present, the daily forex trading volume flowing through the forex markets is more than $6.5 trillion. Out of such a large figure, almost half of the trades come from a particular trading pair that is USD/EUR. It is currently the top traded currency pair and the reason behind its mass adoption is the profits this pair can bring your way.

This way, you can borrow extra money from the platform, perform trades, make profits, and return the amount you acquired through the platform.
