How does Forex trading work?
Let’s make it easy: a Forex trade happens
anytime one currency is bought or sold
for another. So let’s say you want to
travel to the US, where the currency is
Dollars. You take 1,000 Euros and buy
Dollars instead.
Later that day, you decide you don’t
want to go to the US, so you sell the
Dollars you bought in exchange for Euros
again. You end up with 1,100 Euros, which
earned you a profit of 100 Euros.
You just made a successful Forex
trade - bought your Dollars at low rate and
sold them back at higher rate that gained
you a profit. When you trade Forex online,
you do the same - buying and selling
currencies with the aim to profit on the
difference between the buy and sell rates.
In online trading, currencies are always
sold in pairs and at Opteck, you can trade
over 50 of the world’s top currency pairs,
including the EUR/USD, GBP/USD,
and USD/JPY.
The Benefits of Trading Forex
Anyone can trade Forex online like
a professional. It’s easy and gives you
the chance to earn real profit buying
and selling currencies in a matter
of just minutes.
Tap into the largest and most liquid market
in the world and we’ll show you how you
can protfit whether the market’s going up or down.
Trade from home with our web
platform, or on-the-go with our
easy-to-use mobile app.
Forex is short for Foreign Exchange and is the market where currencies are bought and sold. The Foreign Exchange market is accessible to anyone, 24 hours a day, and is the biggest in the world, with over USD 5 trillion traded daily.

4CFDs
CFDsCFDs (Contracts for Differences) give ordinary people access to worldwide markets and the ability to invest online. Best of all, CFDs make it easy to profit by trading hundreds of assets from around the worldassets like Gold and Oil or stocks like Google, Apple and many others.
Before online CFD trading, people had to go through traditional and expensive brokerage firms and banks to make the same investments.
The benefits of Trading CFDs
There are many reasons to trade CFDs.
But the first is the opportunity to tap
into almost any market in the world.
Since CFDs are typically traded online,
traders get the chance to open trades
on assets that aren’t available for trading
in their country.
At Opteck, you can trade hundreds of
assets from all over the globe, including
currency pairs, stocks, commodities and
indices - all in one place on our advanced trading platform.

The second biggest advantage of trading CFDs is itsaves you money. Trading CFDs gives you the ability to open trades on tons of top assets without having to pay huge margins (commissions).
Let’s say you want to invest in 100 shares of a specific stock and each share costs $10. It would cost you $1,000 to invest in 100 shares.
CFDs
If you worked with a traditional brokerage firm, they would request a margin (commission) of close to 50%! Online CFD brokers typically don’t. In fact, Opteck doesn’t charge any commission at all, and instead works with fixed, low-cost spreads on every asset.
WHAT’S A SPREAD? GREAT QUESTION!It’s the difference between an asset’s buy and sell prices.
With the advantage of leverage added
to all these other benefits, Opteck
traders can open trades up to 200 times
more than they would be able to with a
traditional brokerage firm - and get
the chance to earn up to 200 times
more profit.
If a stock’s price is set at $10, trading 100
shares would require you to invest $1,000
with a traditional brokerage firm.
But with Opteck’s 25:1 leverage on stocks, you can multiply your investment by 25.
Meaning, with the same $1,000 at Opteck, you can open trades on shares worth $25,000 and boost your profit.

What is Leverage
what exactly is LEVERAGE?Understanding leverage is as easy as understanding simple multiplication. By leveraging your trades, you can increase your trading margin by hundreds of times and open larger and more profitable trades while investing significantly less than the trade would typically would require.
Opteck offers up to 1:200 leverage on currencies & commodities, up to 1:100 on indices, and up to 1:25 on stocks.
That means for every $1 you invest in currencies,WE’LL GIVE YOU $200 TO TRADE WITH.
Close at Loss & Close at Profit Oders
Trading online definitely gives everybody the
opportunity to earn real profits quickly and easily
and has tons of advantages.
But it’s also important to understand that trading
online comes with the same risks as traditional
forms of investing. This is why we offer a number of
advanced trading tools to help manage your risk and protect your capital.

Close at Profit Order
The Close at Profit Order is the opposite
of Close at Loss, but works in a very
similar way. With Close at Profit, you
can set a limit for when to close a trade,
depending on how much profit you would like to make.
But why would you close a profitable
trade? Close at Profit is usually used for
opening short-term trades, which can be
highly volatile. Setting a Close at
Profit limit can help you protect your
trade and close it automatically once you’ve reached your profit goal (a certain asset rate).
This way, you can take what you’ve
earned and record a profit before
the trade reverses.
What is Leverage
Close at Loss Order
One of the best and most important of
these tools is the Close at Loss Order.
Close at Loss is most often used when
you open long-term trades on assets.
It allows you to automatically set your trade to close at a set amount, when
your open trade hits a certain asset rate.
By setting a Close at Loss, you can
make sure you won’t lose more than
you are willing to risk, in case
an asset changes direction.
At Opteck, we recommend using the Close at Loss Order on every trade.
Close at Loss and Close at Profit Orders are some of the most important risk management tools you’ll use when trading online. We always advise our traders to set both before
executing a trade, to prevent unwanted losses.
9PIPS
PIPSPips are the smallest price change a currency can make, and
since most currency pairs are priced down to the fourth decimal point, the smallest change is that fourth point.
For example,let’s say the EUR/USD is priced at $1.0986.
This means that €1 is equal to $1.0986.
If the exchange rises to $1.0995, it would have risen by 9 pips. $1.0986 - $1.0995 = $0.0009.
10How to open a Trade
What Should I Invest In?
FOREX or CFDs?That’s an excellent question! It’s really up to you.
