What is Forex Trading?
A decentralized global market where the world buys and sells currency.
Foreign trading is simply buying and selling currencies. At Shelltrades Capital, we provide a direct gateway to the trading market through our intuitive and powerful tools and techniques.
Forex, also known as foreign exchange, is a global financial marketplace where multiple currencies are bought and sold i.e., exchanged against one another. This exchange of currencies can be for various reasons – commerce, tourism, trading, etc. Online forex trading tends to be the largest and most volatile trading in the world, making it the most traded asset in the financial world. Currencies are traded against each other as exchange rate pairs.
Forex trading markets exist as spot i.e., cash markets and derivatives markets that offer traders forwards, futures, currency swaps, as well as options. Market participants of forex markets use forex for hedging against international currency along with the interest rate risk. The forex market is open 24 hours a day, for five and a half days a week.

The international forex market stays open 24 hours every day - from 5 PM EST on Sunday to 4 PM EST on Friday. This is because of different time zones. The market is first opened in Australasia, then in Europe, and lastly in North America. So, after the market has closed in Australia, traders can access the markets in other regions. This is also the reason why the market is attractive to so many traders.
Leverage trading enables you to use a relatively small investment for opening large deals to maximize your trading power. But, it also maximizes your risk. When you have high leverage, successful as well as unsuccessful deals are amplified. For example, if you are investing $100 in EUR/RSD, a popular currency pair and have a maximum leverage of 400:1, it is possible for you to open a deal worth 400 times your investment, $40,000.
Margin is the amount a trader needs for opening a new position. It is measured in lots and estimated on the basis of trade’s size. 100,000 units are the standard lot. The bigger the lot, the greater the margin amount will be. With margin, you can trade with leverage that allows you to place trades that are larger than your trading capital. Leverage can influence the margin amount as well.
To trade online, all you need is a funded trading account and an internet connection. You should also have some knowledge of forex trading and the tools that help minimize the risks.
Yes, you must be at least 18 years old to trade.
