Frequently asked questions
What should traders compare between forex brokers?
Compare regulatory entity, client-money protections, average spreads during relevant sessions, commissions, overnight financing, execution model, slippage, margin-closeout rules, platform reliability, and withdrawal procedures. Advertised minimum spreads are less useful than the all-in cost and execution quality for the pairs and hours you trade.
Why does leverage make forex trading especially risky?
Leverage lets a small deposit control a much larger currency position, so modest exchange-rate moves can create rapid gains or losses. Stops may fill beyond their requested price in fast markets, and margin rules can force positions closed, making conservative sizing more important than the maximum leverage offered.
