How To Invest in FX Easily

1. Canvas The Market

You can tryout various diverse systems:

  • Technical analysis: uses historical and current prices to forecast future prices. Technical analysis relies on indicators (such as moving averages) and chart patterns to derive trading signals. Most brokers provide free technical analysis to their clients.
  • Fundamental analysis: considers a country or a company’s economic fundamentals, and the laws of supply and demand in order to forecast prices. For example, Forex strategists may formulate price targets for certain currency pairs.
  • Sentiment analysis: assesses the mood of the market to see if it’s “bearish” or “bullish.” While you can’t perpetually put your finger on investors’ expectations, you can ordinarily make a positive guess that can influence your trades. This form of analysis is highly subjective.

If you would like to learn more about these different forms of analysis, I suggest creating an account with eToro UAE to access it’s free trading school. eToro’s trading academy offers reading material and webinars to all clients. eToro is regulated in Australia, the European Union and the United Kingdom.

2. Suss Out Your Margin

Subject to your broker’s policies, you can invest some of funds but even make important trades. As an example, if you have to trade 100,000 units at a margin of one %, your broker will require you to put $1,000 cash in an account as security. Your profits and losses will either add to the account or deduct from its value. As a result, a positive general convention is to trade just two % of your cash in a sole FX pair.

3. Place Your Order

You can place diverse kinds of orders:

  • Market orders: instruct your broker to execute your buy/sell at the current market rate. This sounds remarkably simple, but may end up executing at an unfavourable price.
  • Limit orders: instruct your broker to execute a trade at a certain price. For instance, you can buy currency once it reaches a specific price or sell currency if its price falls below a certain threshold.
  • Stop orders: allows you to purchase currency above the current market price (in anticipation that its value will strengthen) or to unload currency below the current market price to limit your losses.

If these words are new to you, I suggest reading up about them here. Understanding the different order types is key to minimising your costs and maximising your gains. It’s also a foundation of risk management strategies.

4. Watch Your Earnings And Loss

For starters, don’t get emotional. The Forex market can be highly volatile, and you will read many ups and downs. What topics is to persist doing your research and sticking with your system. Eventually, you will read gains.
