How forex trading works
For all our forex trades, you simply 'buy' if you think the first-named currency in the quoted pair is going to strengthen, and you 'sell' if you think the first-named currency is going to weaken.
If you are looking to access smaller contract sizes, trade our mini contracts. We offer mini contracts on all our currency pairs with the same tight spreads as for our full-size contracts.
You must also decide how much you want to trade per point. For all our forex contracts a point, or a pip, is the last full digit of our quote. For more details on trading currencies, please see this forex example.
