Forex Trading

Forex, short for foreign exchange, is the global market where currencies are bought and sold. It is one of the largest financial markets in the world, and it is open around the clock on weekdays as trading moves between Sydney, Tokyo, London and New York.

Currencies are traded in pairs, such as EUR/USD. You can trade whether you expect a currency to rise or fall against the other. Prices are driven by interest rates, inflation, employment data, central bank decisions and world events.

Leverage lets you open a larger position with a smaller amount of margin. It can increase your gains, but it also increases your losses, so risk management matters.

VestFX clients trade forex on the web platform, MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5. Available pairs are shown in the market watch of your platform.
