Lesson 4 of 4

Why Trade Forex?

Forex attracts traders for good reasons — but every advantage comes with responsibility.

The upsides

  • Low barriers — open an account with a modest deposit.
  • 24-hour access — trade around your schedule.
  • High liquidity — tight spreads and fast execution on majors.
  • Both directions — you can profit whether a currency rises or falls.

The reality check

Leverage magnifies losses as much as gains, and prices can move violently around news. Most beginners lose money early. The goal of this School is to give you the fundamentals so you can manage that risk with a clear head.
