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-forex contracts. We offer mini-forex 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 placing forex trades please see this example.
