How Trading Forex CFDs Works
Trading Mechanism:
- Opening a Position: Choose a currency pair and decide whether to go long (buy) or short (sell). Enter the trade size and set your stop-loss and take-profit levels.
- Monitoring: Track your position in real-time using Swift Trader’s platforms. Adjust your stop-loss or take-profit levels as needed.
- Closing a Position: Close your position when your target is met or if you wish to cut losses. The profit or loss is calculated based on the difference between the opening and closing prices.
Brief History of Forex Trading:
Origins: Forex trading has been around since the early 1970s when the Bretton Woods system of fixed exchange rates ended. This led to the emergence of floating exchange rates and a global forex market where currencies are traded freely.
Modern Era: With the advent of technology and the internet, forex trading has become accessible to retail traders. Electronic trading platforms revolutionised the market, allowing for real-time trading and greater transparency.
