What is FX Trading?
The Basic Concept
When trading Forex, you are buying one currency by using another. Therefore, the FX trader is trading currency pairs and not each currency individually. Take for example the EURUSD, when buying the pair – it means you are buying EUR using (selling) USD. When selling the pair – it means you are buying USD using (selling) EUR.
Forex Rates
The pairing of the currencies is presented as a rate, which reflects the ratio between the values of the two currencies. For instance, the rate for buying the pair GBPUSD is 1.50514, i.e. £1 GBP = $1.50514 USD.
Forex Pairs Groups
The Forex pairs are divided into three main groups – majors, minors and exotic pairs. The main difference between the pairs is their liquidity which is a result of the trading volume of these pair. E.g., the major currency pairs are the most traded pairs and each include the USD and another currency, while the most traded minor pairs include one of the three major non-USD currencies (The Euro, the UK Pound and the Japanese Yen).

How to trade FX with AvaTrade
Forex Trading Platforms
AvaTrade offers a selection of trading platforms, for both automated and manual trading, with unique features and tools to optimize your trading experience.

Leveraged Trading
The ability to hold larger trading positions than what one’s own capital allows is enabled through leverage given by the broker. At AvaTrade, traders can enjoy up to 400:1 leverage on most forex pairs. This means that a trader needs only 0.25% of a position size in order to open a position.
For example, if the EURUSD pair is traded at a buying price of 1.1123. To open a position of 100,000 units of the instrument, a trader needs €111,230 Euro, or $123,721.12 USD. However, thanks to leveraged trading, the trader will need only 0.25% of this position, i.e. €278.07 Euro, or $309.30 USD. The ability to leverage one’s position is a great advantage which can magnify a trader’s profits. However, one should always have in mind that losses can be magnified as well.
How to Calculate the Cost of a Forex Trading Position?
When a trader opens a position at AvaTrade, he is not charged any other commissions beside the spread. The spread is the difference between the buy and sell price which is counted in pips – the fourth digit after the dot. For example if the buy price of EURUSD is 1.1123 and the sell price is 1.1120, then the spread is 3 pips. The spread charged for a position opened by a trader is the spread multiplied by the size of the position.
AvaTrade’s clients can choose between trading forex with fixed spread versus trading with competitive spreads, which are flexible and changing. AvaTrade offers the best spreads in the market.
