Things to consider when trading forex

There is an inherent level of risk involved in forex trading, as is the case with any financial market. It’s important to recognise this and make your decisions accordingly. Potential drawbacks include:

While leverage can work in your favour, if the markets move against you, it will have the opposite effect and multiply your losses.
The relative volatility of the market, particularly regarding minor or emerging currencies, can make price movements difficult to predict.
It can take time to build up the level of understanding that you need to trade forex with the confidence to have full conviction in your decisions.

Frequently asked questions

What are the overnight holding fees for FX?

Overnight holding fees (or rollover) refers to the interest paid or earned for holding a position overnight. Any client holding an open position at the end of the trading day (5PM EST) will be credited or debited rollover.

Most liquidity providers are closed on Saturdays and Sundays, so there is no rollover on these days, although most liquidity providers apply interest for those two days. To account for that, the forex market books three days of rollover on Wednesdays, which makes a typical Wednesday rollover three times the amount on a Tuesday. There is no rollover on holidays; instead, rollover for two business days is added before the holiday.

What FX instruments can I trade?

Tradu offers 41 currency pairs.

How do I open a forex trading account with Tradu?

You can request a live account on the Tradu app. You will be prompted to provide your verification documents, such as a copy of your passport and utility bill, which can be uploaded during your application process or later, via the app.

What are some forex trading strategies?

You need to decide on an approach that works for you. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution, rather a range of strategies that you could choose to adopt based on your situation and your trading objectives. Some of these forex trading strategies include:

Day trading: The opening and closing of positions within the same day.
Swing trading: Keeping a position open for perhaps weeks at a time, with the idea of closing it before a reversal or ‘swing’ in movement.
Position trading: This type of forex trading requires longer-term planning and the monitoring of performance over a period of months or even years.

What are the forex trading hours?

The forex market extends worldwide and, through our platform, you can trade 24/5 Monday to Friday. No matter where you are or the particulars of your schedule, you’ll be able to trade forex at a time that works for you.

What drives forex prices?

Forex traders need to be aware of the various factors that can impact the markets – and therefore the decisions that you make as part of your strategy. For example, the fluctuating exchange rates can be influenced by:

Interest rates: Central banks’ monetary policies can cause excitement or hesitancy among investors.
Economic developments: Trends, announcements and news updates can all cause a ripple effect across the forex
Political events: The building or breaking down of trade relationships between countries, elections, wars and policy changes can all alter how forex traders view the markets.
Commodity prices: Certain physical assets are heavily imported or exported in selected regions so, if the cost of these commodities changes significantly, currency prices can be affected.
Find out more in our extensive guide to the factors that impact.

Where can I find margin requirements?

Margin requirements may differ depending on account type and can be viewed in the dealing rates on the Tradu app.
