This is what you should know about Trade forex
Forex, or FX, involves trading one currency for another at an agreed exchange rate. It is the world’s largest financial market, operating 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. Forex trading is highly speculative, and you should understand the risks involved.
Forex (FX) products are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 61% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading FX with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how FX trading works and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.
