What is Forex trading?
Forex trading, also known as FX trading, involves buying one currency while selling another at an agreed exchange rate. Exchange rates determine how currencies are valued against one another, with movements typically driven by economic data, interest rates, and global events.
It is the world’s largest and most liquid financial market, operating 24 hours a day, five days a week, with participants ranging from financial institutions and global businesses to individual traders.
Most retail traders access the Forex market through derivatives such as CFDs and Spread betting. These derivative products allow traders to speculate on the price movements of currency pairs without owning the underlying asset, offering the flexibility to trade rising or falling markets.

Forex trading FAQs
On the spot market, you exchange one currency for another at the current market price. You end up holding the currency you’ve bought.
With spread bets and CFDs, you don’t buy any currency at all. These are derivative products, so you’re taking a position on whether a currency pair will rise or fall. Your profit or loss comes from the price movement, not from owning the underlying currencies.
Spread betting and CFDs differ in their stake calculations and potentially in their tax implications.
Residents of the UK and Ireland typically don’t pay capital gains tax on profits gained with spread betting, while CFDs typically offer traders the ability to offset their losses against their profits for tax purposes.

- Exotics: EUR/ZAR, GBP/ZAR, USD/ZAR, USD/MXN
In total, you can trade 32 Forex pairs across majors, minors, and exotics - all available with fixed, low-cost spreads.
The EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD, and USD/CHF are the most traded currency pairs. For those just getting started in the Forex market, it is essential to understand that most Forex trading occurs in these combos, which can make them more attractive to trade due to their higher volume.
The Forex market is highly liquid, with moments of high volatility during certain events. A currency’s volatility is determined by various variables, including a country’s political and economic factors.
Consequently, economic insecurity in the form of payment failure, trade imbalance, or geopolitical uncertainty may cause severe volatility.
