What is Forex Trading?
Forex trading, also known as forex or currency trading, refers to the buying and selling of different currencies with the aim of making a profit. These trades are conducted in currency pairs, where one currency acts as the base and the other as the quote.
Imagine you want to travel from the United States to Europe and need euros for your expenses. In this case, you would have to exchange your US dollars for euros at the current exchange rate. If the value of the euro increases relative to the dollar later on, you could exchange your euros back for dollars and make a profit in the process.
The forex market operates continuously, 24 hours a day and five days a week, with price quotes constantly fluctuating. These changes are influenced by various factors, such as central bank decisions, economic and political conditions, as well as geopolitical events, which affect the supply and demand for currencies.
Being the largest and most active financial market in the world, forex trading provides opportunities for those who wish to engage in high-liquidity and high-volume trading.

Important Information for the FOREX Market
Swap values may be adjusted daily based on market conditions and the rates offered by our price provider, which apply to all open positions. Triple swaps are applied every Wednesday.
Server Time: in winter, GMT+2, and in summer, GMT+3 (Daylight Saving Time) (last Sunday of March to last Sunday of October). During the time interval between 23:55 and 00:05 server time, there may be increased spreads and reduced liquidity due to the daily bank rollover. If spreads or liquidity are inadequate during the bank rollover, spread widening and excessive slippage may occur. Therefore, during those moments, orders may not be executed.
A commission charge per lot will apply on both opening and closing, depending on the account type.
